"What? You said he was undercover in the Shadow Organization and reported them?" Cui Xueying's originally large, bright eyes widened to a state of disbelief and shock. Her delicate face twisted slightly in surprise. She stared intently at Mo Yunting, as if trying to detect a hint of joking on his face.

"Yes, it's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Song Yuhang. I've brought him here too." The man who spoke had a serious expression on his face, and at the same time, he shouted towards the door, "Yuhang, come out."

Following the shout, a figure hesitantly inched through the doorway. Song Yuhang lowered his head, his steps heavy and slow, as if each step required all his strength. When he finally reached the front of the group, he raised his head slightly, his eyes evasive as he glanced at Cui Xueying. His heart was pounding like a frightened deer.

Before coming here, he had rehearsed the scene of meeting Cui Xueying countless times in his mind, imagining how he should behave to appear natural and generous, and what words he should use to explain the past so that she would understand and forgive him. But when the moment came, all the words he had prepared were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter them.

Song Yuhang's face turned slightly red, and he forced a smile with a bit of embarrassment. Then he gently raised his right hand and waved towards Cui Xueying, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Hi, long time no see!" This simple greeting sounded so strange and awkward at this moment.

Cui Xueying stared at Song Yuhang intently, her heart awash with emotions, a whirlwind of emotions. Her eyes widened as she stared at him in disbelief. She could never imagine that this man, once so inextricably linked to her, would now resolutely join the mysterious and dangerous "Shadow Organization" as an undercover agent.

"Yuhang..." Cui Xueying hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't suppress her inner doubts and worries. She asked softly, "Did you really go undercover in the 'Shadow Organization'? It's a dangerous place!"

Song Yuhang took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his turbulent emotions. Then, he slowly nodded, looking at Cui Xueying with a determined yet slightly guilty gaze. "Yes, I did join the Shadow Organization as an undercover agent. It's all because ever since Lu Yu showed up, everything that's happened has pointed back to you, and I simply can't sit back and watch. I desperately want to find out why Lu Yu is so obsessed with you and so determined to win you over. So, even though the road ahead is filled with difficulties and dangers, I'm going to take the risk."

Having said this, he paused briefly, then lowered his head and stammered like a child who had done something wrong: "And... I'm sorry, Xueying. I did a lot of things that were detrimental to you before, causing you a lot of hurt and trouble. But please believe me, from now on, everything I do will be to make up for my past mistakes. I only hope to gain your forgiveness."

After hearing Song Yuhang's sincere words, Cui Xueying was silent for a moment, as if time had frozen in that moment. She stared at Song Yuhang's familiar yet unfamiliar face, recalling every moment of their past. Memories, both sweet and painful, flooded back like a tide, leaving her feeling a bit overwhelmed. But eventually, a soft sigh broke the suffocating silence.

"Actually... I've already forgiven you." Cui Xueying's tone was unusually calm, yet it contained a deep sense of relief. "Even when you helped us fight Bai Yumo together, I had already put all the unpleasantness of the past behind me. After all, everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is to be able to recognize them and work hard to correct them. And seeing that you are now willing to risk your life to protect me, how can I still hold a grudge?"

After saying that, she smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, warm and moving.
