Steam slowly rose from the teacup.

"What did she say to you? Where is she now? Why didn't she come to see me in person?"

As soon as Shen Zheyan sat down, she impatiently bombarded Yun Sheng with these three questions.

"I thought you would've hated her. She thought you would've hated her as well," Yun Sheng said, feeling slightly surprised. Although she hadn't been present at the scene that day, through the rumors flowing around outside and her conversation with Jun Zishu, she could roughly picture what had actually happened.

Shen Zheyan did not speak up. Instead, she held her teacup and looked at the hot tea inside with complicated emotions in her eyes.

Hate? How could Shen Zheyan not hate Jun Zishu? She had suffered many sleepless nights trying to make sense of what Jun Zishu said that day.

However…she couldn't bear to hate the girl.

Shen Zheyan had always felt that something was strange with this matter. How could Jun Zishu possibly react in such a way? How could Shen Zheyan not detect the sincerity in Jun Zishu's actions throughout all these months and years?

"It seems the feelings you have for her are far greater than I expected."

"I want to know what the hell is going on."

There is currently a tail on you. The situation will become incredibly troublesome if I meet up with you now. The next time we meet, you must recognize me.

…

Shen Zheyan kept the letter. She could roughly understand what Jun Zishu was trying to explain. However, Jun Zishu still hadn't told her why she had done what she did that day.

Moreover, there is a tail on me?

Shen Zheyan frowned. She had been absent-mindedly traveling to Hangzhou City these past few days, so she had not bothered to check if anyone was following her.

But how does she know there is a tail on me?

Realization quickly dawned upon Shen Zheyan. If Jun Zishu knew someone was following her, it meant that Jun Zishu might be secretly observin…
