Mu Siyin felt helpless. “I used to think that way too, but that was before I had to deal with it. There are other things that are making me change my stance too.”
Ji Yang asked, “What things?”
Mu Siyin frowned. She looked troubled.
She was not sure what those things were either. How was she supposed to tell Ji Yang what they were?
Nevertheless, she did not want to lie to Ji Yang, so she had no choice but to say, “His family found a matching partner of equal status and wealth for him.”
“What?” Ji Yang’s eyes popped out as she slammed the table.
Mu Siyin let out a sigh. “Don’t get so worked out. Isn’t that expected?”
Ji Yang creased her forehead. “What about Shi Beiyu? What does he think about it? If he wavers, you should leave him as soon as possible!”
Mu Siyin sounded hesitant when she said, “He…wants me to believe him, which I do, but I-I’m not confident about it.”
Ji Yang sighed loudly. “Yinyin! You can’t believe him because he told you to! You have to see and feel his sincerity for yourself! You can’t just fall for his words. After all, you haven’t known him for that long.”
Ji Yang only said so much because she was worried that Mu Siyin would be lied to.
Mu Siyin murmured, “I don’t think… he’ll lie to me.”
He had always helped her without her knowing. He was even willing to sacrifice his life for her! She had no reason to doubt someone who treated her that way.
If he really did cheat her one day, then she would take them as a white lie.
Ji Yang was shocked to see how much trust Mu Siyin placed in Shi Beiyu’s words.
She paused for a while before saying, “You’re really under Shi Beiyu’s spell, Yinyin. A deep one!”
Mu Siyin laughed helplessly. Then, she looked at her friend and said, “Your description is right on point.”
Ji Yang grew worried when she heard this. “Then you have to be rational too, right? You have to be alert!”
“Don’t worry, Ji Yang. I know.”
“What do you know? You don’t even know how deep you’ve fallen.”
Her words made Mu Siyin pause to think.
Fallen too deep to know.
Perhaps Ji Yang was right…
After a while, Mu Siyin changed the topic. “When can you look into my sister’s car accident, Yangyang?”
Ji Yang blinked and let out an awkward laugh. “I… still need some time.”
“Okay.”
“Why are you so anxious about it?”
Mu Siyin knitted her brows and said, “I’ve been feeling restless after dreaming about my sister that day. I just want to know the truth.”
“Okay. I’ll try my best.”
“Okay.”
After that, Mu Siyin headed to Ji Yang’s place. She had promised to sleep over at Ji Yang’s, and she definitely could not go back against her word.
The duo was woken up by the sound of the alarm the next day.
Ji Yang had always been an efficient person. By the time Mu Siyin had freshened herself up, Ji Yang had already made them breakfast.
Mu Siyin smiled at Ji Yang when she saw the milk on the table. “You know what? Mu Xingyu wanted to throw milk on me yesterday morning, but she ended up splashing it on my stepfather instead.”
Having just taken a mouthful of milk, Ji Yang spat it all out when she heard Mu Siyin. Luckily, Mu Siyin did not sit in front of Ji Yang, or her face would have been covered in milk by now.
“My God! Do you have to be so dramatic?” Upon saying so, Mu Siyin handed her friend a tissue in disgust.
Ji Yang coughed twice and looked at Mu Siyin speechlessly. “You can’t blame me for that. You’re the one who always tells me such interesting tales over the dining table.”
Mu Siyin’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “It’s exciting, right? I wanted to laugh so bad yesterday, but I couldn’t. You have no idea how hard it was for me to hold it in!”
