The End Times as a Song

Chapter 391 Not Subject to Coercion

"Aunt...!"

Zheng Shang came out, and Lin Moshi saw him and quickly went to greet him, completely disregarding Wu Zheyu's feelings behind him.

“It’s Zheng Shang again. As long as she’s there…! My brother only has eyes for her, not for me, Wu Zheyu.”

Upon seeing Zheng Shang, Wu Zheyu pursed her lips, her expression turning extremely unpleasant; she was angry. Lin Moshi had always treated Zheng Shang better than her, her younger sister, and she harbored an inexplicable hostility towards her. Wu Zheyu stared intently at the backs of Zheng Shang and Lin Moshi, feeling deeply uncomfortable; she was lost in thought.

"Ayu...! Ayu...!"

Chengfeng looked at Wu Zheyu strangely, and after calling her a few times without response, he simply tapped her on the head, trying to wake her up.

"Ouch, that hurts...! Who hit me...?"

Wu Zheyu regained consciousness after being struck by Chengfeng. Clutching her injured head, she groggily searched for the culprit.

"Ayu...! I'm so glad you're alright. You scared me to death! I called you and you didn't respond. I was worried something had happened to you!"

Cheng Feng's clean face moved closer, appearing in front of Wu Zheyu, and he smiled.

"Chengfeng, are you crazy?! Why did you hit me on the head?!"

When Wu Zheyu saw Chengfeng's clean face, she immediately understood what had happened and gave Chengfeng a good scolding.

"If I didn't knock you on the head, how would you have woken up so quickly...!"

Chengfeng, holding a white jade folding fan, sat casually on a bench under the plum trees in the main hall of Shenlin.

"you……!"

Wu Zheyu was furious and pointed at Chengfeng, speechless.

"I called you just now, but you didn't respond. What could I do...?"

Chengfeng started shifting the blame and shirking responsibility. In fact, he had always enjoyed teasing Wu Zheyu since he was a child.

"Why did you call me...?"

Wu Zheyu angrily questioned Chengfeng, showing she had little patience for him.

"Actually, it's nothing! I just saw you spacing out here and thought it was cute, so I couldn't help but knock."

Chengfeng waved his white jade folding fan and tapped his hand, a slight smile appearing on his lips. He looked at Wu Zheyu with appreciation and spoke his true thoughts.

"Chengfeng, you...! Are you looking for a beating...?"

Wu Zheyu became even angrier after hearing this.

"Lord Zheyu, I was just kidding, please don't hit me...!"

Wu Zheyu rolled up her sleeves and walked towards Chengfeng. Chengfeng ran away with a happy smile on her face, begging for mercy all the while, her face full of bliss.

"Mother...! Are you alright?!"

Lin Moshi held Zheng Shang's hand, looking at him with concern and confusion.

Chengfeng lowered his voice and continued to analyze for Wu Zheyu, trying to untangle the knot in Wu Zheyu's heart over the past few years and to stop Wu Zheyu from targeting Zheng Shang.

"I wasn't targeting Zheng Shang; it was Zheng Shang who lacked manners towards my brother first!"

Wu Zheyu suddenly became incoherent and couldn't continue. Chengfeng had completely and thoroughly dismantled what she had always believed to be a sibling-like love. She was now extremely embarrassed, with nowhere to vent her frustration, so she could only endure and suppress it. All these years she had been causing trouble for the zither merchant, only to find herself in vain.

"Look at you, you're almost at your wit's end!"

Chengfeng walked up to Wu Zheyu and said gently.

"Mind your own business...! Get lost...!"

Wu Zheyu roared at Chengfeng. She was in a terrible state; Chengfeng had shattered her heart, leaving it in utter chaos. A few tears welled up in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. I won't say anything more to you, alright?"
