Yu Sheng initially found it a bit strange, but after realizing that Li Susu was not Shang Yan's love and that he loved someone else, she suddenly understood.
She didn't know the details of his relationship with the married woman, but judging from his reaction, he was definitely in love with her. If it was true love, why would he have a casual relationship with Li Susu?
Gu is like this, Shang Yan is like this too, are all men like this?
"How do you plan to persuade me?"
Shang Yan's question interrupted Yu Sheng's thoughts. She awkwardly curled her hands and walked towards him, each step feeling as if she were stepping on her own chest.
The sofa was a sectional sofa, with one three-seater and two single-seaters, and a coffee table in the middle with tea set on it. Shang Yan sat in the middle of the three-seater, and Yu Sheng walked over and sat down on the single sofa to his right.
Because of nervousness, she sat very straight, but her head was drooping, and her bottom was only sitting on the edge of the sofa. She didn't look like someone who was giving advice, but rather like someone who had made a mistake and was waiting to be criticized.
Although she kept her head down, she could feel Shang Yan's gaze fixed on her. He was waiting for her to speak, but her mind was a jumbled mess, and she really didn't know how to start.
So she told the truth: "Brother, actually... I don't... know... how... to... advise you..."
After she finished speaking, seeing that Shang Yan did not speak for a long time, she secretly raised her eyes to look at him. When she met his eyes, which were shrouded in sorrow, she felt as if she was being burned by his gaze and quickly lowered her head.
Shang Yan remained silent, and the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. This atmosphere made Yu Sheng feel extremely uncomfortable.
As she was pondering whether to tell Shang Yan to go out first, she heard a soft, crisp "snap" sound. Looking up, she saw Shang Yan lighting a cigarette. The orange-red flame enveloped the cigarette butt, and wisps of smoke billowed from his mouth and nose, blurring his cold, handsome face somewhat.
Yu Sheng was taken aback, thinking: Didn't he not smoke? When did he start smoking?
Shang Yan saw through Yu Sheng's thoughts and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Do you remember when you first transferred to Zihua, you happened to see Yao Yao smoking?"
Shang Yan's thoughts drifted back to ten years ago when the topic of Yu Sheng was suddenly brought up.
At that time, Yu Jing and Shang Shichang, along with Shang Yan and Shang Yao, had just formed a blended family.
Shang Yao was extremely opposed to Shang Shichang's remarriage from the very beginning, so the blended family was not harmonious.
Yu Jing and Yu Sheng had a hard time, especially Yu Sheng, who was often bullied by Shang Yao. At first, she would talk to Yu Jing about it, but every time she did, Yu Jing would tell her to bear with it and then she would stop talking. When she felt really wronged, she would hide away and cry secretly...
When she cries, she thinks back to how Qiao Weiyang and Yu Jing spoiled her like a little princess when she was a child, and how she was willful and unrestrained. So why does she have to live a life of dependence, swallowing her anger and being submissive now? Is it all for the sake of a glamorous facade?
Fifteen years old—a time of blossoming youth, a time of innocent wonder, a time of unbridled rebellion, a time of infinite beauty and limitless possibilities.
But these were all unattainable hopes for Yu Sheng. She teetered on the edge of pain and death every day, but whenever she thought of Xiao Cheng lying in the hospital, she gave up!
From initially experiencing unbearable pain to gradually adapting, Yu Sheng discovered that people's ability to adapt is truly remarkable.
What she didn't expect was that just as she got used to the current pain, Yu Jing created new pain for her by making her transfer to Zihua Noble Academy, where Shang Yao was!
The news struck her like a bolt from the blue. She made it clear to Yu Jing that she didn't want to transfer schools. Yu Jing said that she had gone to great lengths to get Shang Shichang to transfer her, saying it was all for her future, and that she was ungrateful...
In short, she has to switch channels whether she wants to or not!
Seeing that she couldn't change Yu Jing's mind, Yu Sheng could only place her hopes on Shang Yao.
As she expected, Shang Yao reacted even more strongly than she did when she learned that she was going to transfer to her school.
Shang Yao reacted so strongly because Shang Shichang and Yu Jing's remarriage was not announced to the public; they had only invited relatives and friends to a meal.
In Shang Yao's opinion, if Yu Sheng transferred to the same school as her, her classmates would likely find out that her father married Yu Sheng's mother and that they were half-sisters. Wouldn't that be embarrassing for her? She didn't want that!
Shang Yao made a huge scene, which made Shang Shichang lose face. In a moment of desperation, he slapped Shang Yao. Before this, Shang Shichang had never laid a hand on Shang Yao, so... the matter escalated and even alarmed Shang Yan, who was living in the dormitory at the time!
Yu Sheng didn't know what Shang Yan said to Shang Yao, but in the end, she gave in.
At the same time, he warned Shang Shichang never to lay a hand on Shang Yao again, or he would take Shang Yao and leave this house!
She knew about Shang Yan's warning to Shang Shichang because she happened to get up in the middle of the night and overheard it as she passed by Shang Shichang's room...
In short, after this farce, she transferred to Zihua.
On the first day of school, Shang Yao warned her that they should pretend they didn't know each other at school.
Actually, she would have done it even without her warning.
After arriving at the new school, Yu Sheng discovered that Shang Shichang had transferred her to Shang Yao's class. Was this... to make their best friend get along better?
She felt she was overthinking things!
She was speechless, and Shang Yao was furious!
But the deed was done, and they had no choice but to accept it!
For the first week, everything was going smoothly, and she gradually adapted to the new environment.
