Little Sister
He had someone he liked?
Tension surged to a peak instantly, like plunging into a bottomless, icy blue sea.
Yun Mi snapped out of it, feeling suffocated.
Chen Yiyang handed her phone back and said flatly, "Did she order the crawfish?"
"Yeah."
"How much? Transfer it back."
"Over two hundred..." Yun Mi's chest felt tight. She had actually paid half herself, not letting Jiang Miyan cover it all. But there was no need to explain. Yun Mi said, "Got it."
She transferred the money, her phone vibrating softly in her pocket. The girl returned to her seat, feeling sour and bitter.
Never had she hated Chen Yiyang as much as she did at this moment.
So, Chen Yiyang already had someone else in his heart.
The table sensed the awkward atmosphere and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Keep eating, keep eating, don't just stand there."
Yun Mi accidentally met Chen Yiyang's gaze. He looked as calm as ever, his sharp, dark eyes merely glancing at her before looking away.
Yun Mi averted her eyes.
Ding Yuan said, "Mimi, don't be sad. It's just a love letter."
Yun Mi said, "It's okay, it's not my confession."
Ding Yuan muttered, "But you really look so sad..."
The girl's eyelashes drooped with desolation. Ding Yuan didn't know how to comfort Yun Mi, and then she heard Yun Mi's sorrowful words.
"I'll never smile again."
"..."
When they left McDonald's, it was already dark. Yun Mi was determined not to talk to Chen Yiyang anymore. Walking to the end of the old street, she lowered her head to check her phone, and the next second she froze.
She turned around abruptly.
Chen Yiyang had transferred her 8888.
With a note:
y2: Next time, ask me directly. No need to go through others.
...
The subject selection form was submitted on Thursday.
Old Qi worked surprisingly fast; in less than half an hour, he called Chen Yiyang out.
The principal and the discipline director were also there. Seeing the setup, Yun Mi was puzzled and even wondered if Chen Yiyang had gotten into trouble.
But she didn't have much attention to spare for him at the moment.
Not long after she blocked her senior, Coach Jiang released the mid-year summary, and Yun Mi's name appeared prominently under the "violations" column.
It was something from months ago, but it felt like a lifetime.
A teammate came to comfort Yun Mi and added, "Mimi, did you block Senior Mingyi? She went to the coach to plead for you. She's so nice, why are you treating her like that?"
Yun Mi replied, "That's between us."
Yun Mi still had homework to finish. She wanted to cut off the chat, but remembering what the lawyer said, she took a deep breath and sent a message.
Grow Up Well: Beibei, can you send me screenshots of all your chat records with Xu Mingyi?
The other party refused.
Yun Mi replied: Alright, no problem, thank you.
In June, the temperature soared.
Many in the class changed into summer uniforms, but Yun Mi still wore long sleeves. The wounds creeping out from the cuffs were ugly and exaggerated.
Yun Mi silently pulled her sleeves tighter.
Ding Yuan called her to go to the convenience store to buy correction tape. Yun Mi said yes.
Yun Mi saw Chen Yiyang from a distance. On the second floor of the adjacent building, several school leaders were probably lecturing him, and the principal was on the phone.
Ding Yuan said, "After buying the correction tape, I also want to buy yogurt..." Yun Mi had treated her several times; Ding Yuan's mother didn't give her much allowance, so she was short on cash, but treating Yun Mi to yogurt was still easy. She said, "Mimi, I'll treat you to yogurt. What flavor do you want?"
Yun Mi said, "Anything." She held up two fingers and made a small request: "But I want two cups."
Ding Yuan, who was pulling out coins, cursed, "Are you a glutton?"
Yun Mi wanted to give one to Chen Yiyang. She pouted: "Oh, forget it then."
Ding Yuan couldn't stand it: "Fine, fine, I'll treat you."
"Da Yuan Zi, you're the best."
"Get lost, you flatterer."
