After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Bought Too Much

This was something Yun Shifei could never quite understand.

They didn’t know that words could kill.

Seemingly casual rumors could inflict immense pain on the people involved.

In her past life and this one, she had always borne the weight of such gossip.

The night breeze blew quietly.

In the distance, the Cheng Family residence was bustling with activity. The young people gathered together, and

the atmosphere was lively to the extreme.

After Yun Shifei’s earlier disruption, the vibe had been slightly dampened.

But soon, it returned to its original lively state.

Yun Sisi even performed a special dance for Mu Chengzhu.

Under the mingled light and shadow, she moved gracefully, as beautiful as a butterfly.

"Brother, Sisi is gorgeous, right?"

Mu Chengzhu gazed at Yun Sisi on the stage and nodded.

She was indeed as beautiful as a fairy.

He had watched her grow up, and she had always looked this good.

Now, at her peak, she was undoubtedly at her most stunning.

Soon, the unpleasant feelings he’d had earlier because of Yun Shifei were cast aside.

How could there be a place for Yun Shifei in his heart? Yun Sisi was the one he truly admired.

The dance ended, and Yun Sisi stopped in the center of the stage, bowing to express her gratitude.

The applause from the audience was thunderous.

Yun Sisi only looked at Mu Chengzhu in the crowd and smiled, her gaze filled with tenderness and a touch of shy

affection.

Many of the boys were dazzled by her demeanor.

Even though Yun Sisi wasn’t smiling at them, their hearts still felt like they'd been struck by something.

If Yun Sisi ever smiled at them like that, who knew if they could even keep their composure?

Mu Chengzhu, too, raised a faint smile toward her.

The young man was as gentle and elegant as jade, like a celestial being in a painting.

Anyone could see how perfectly matched the two of them were.

Mu Jiayu even began wondering if she should convince her parents to arrange a match between Yun Sisi and her

brother.

Why let an outsider claim something so good?

She really liked Yun Sisi.

On the other side of the light and shadow.

A warm yellow streetlamp cast its glow over a figure sitting on a bench.

Yun Shifei had been sitting there for nearly half an hour, finally working through her feelings.

She considered herself fairly optimistic; no matter what happened, she always tried to look on the brighter side.

This twas no different.

Although the rumors had hurt her over the years, today she had put an end to them. Moving forward, perhaps no

one would bring it up again.

Even Yun Sisi likely wouldn't be able to use this tactic to trap her anymore.

At that thought, Yun Shifei felt a twinge of relief.

She was unaware that she was sitting close to the Cheng Family's property.

A young man, after reading for a while, walked to his window to take in the night view.

By chance, he noticed a girl sitting on a bench below.

She sat there, motionless, as if lost in thought.

He'd heard that most of the kids in the neighborhood had gone to Mu Chengzhu'’s birthday party.

She had gone as well.

But why was she now sitting alone outside?

Judging by the time, Mu Chengzhu’s birthday party had only just begun.

He squinted slightly, quietly standing by the window and observing her for a moment.

Even from far away, he could sense the sorrow she carried.

Was she sad?

Had she been bullied at Mu Chengzhu'’s birthday party?

Thinking of her soft and delicate nature, easily brought to tears if someone spoke harshly to her, Cheng Lie

figured it was very possible.

With that thought, Cheng Lie started walking outside.

But just as he reached his door, he paused, turned back, and rummaged through a drawer to pull out some

candy.

She loved eating sweets. If she could have scandy, her mood would probably improve a lot.

Yun Shifei sat for a while longer. It wasn’t until her stomach growled that she snapped out of her daze.

Oh, right!

She hadn’t eaten dinner yet.

It was already past eight o'clock. Normally, she would've long since eaten by now.

No wonder she felt so uncomfortable—it must be because she hadn't eaten!

For Yun Shifei, only delicious food could make her feel better when she was down.

But she really didn’t feel like going hfor dinner.

If Xu Ya saw her, she would certainly ask why she had chome, and then she'd have to answer endless

questions.

Yun shifei found it bothersome.

Might as well take this chance to eat out instead.

She remembered there was a street nearby with plenty of food options.

Just as she prepared to stand up, a shadow fell over her, dimming her view.

Yun Shifei looked up and saw Cheng Lie standing in front of her.

Surprised, she said, "Cheng Lie?"

What was he doing here?

She glanced around but didn’t see anyone accompanying him.

"Did you cout here alone?" Yun Shifei asked, a little worried.

She recalled that Cheng Lie wasn’t good with directions, so he was always accompanied by someone whenever

he went out.

Cheng Lie looked at Yun Shifei.

Over the years, because he didn’t talk or engage much with others, he'd developed a sharp ability to sense

people’s emotions.

At the moment, he could tell that Yun Shifei’s initial mood seemed poor but that seeing him had shifted her

attention.

It felt as if her spirits had lightened somewhat.

This realization made him relax a little inside.

But he didn’t know how to answer her question.

After thinking for a moment, he pulled out the candy and handed it to Yun Shifei.

Yun Shifei’s gaze lowered, landing on the colorful candies in Cheng Lie’s palm.

The wrapping was exquisite—this was the scandy he’d given her before.

It was imported, and she'd never tasted anything like it until then, though she found it quite delicious.

Recently, however, Cheng Lie had been giving her candy so frequently that she couldn't help but find it a little

odd.

"Why do you keep givingcandy?" she asked.

Then she remembered a previous

Yun Shifei’s question made Cheng Lie momentarily speechless.

After a long pause, he finally said, "Bought too much."

Yun Shifei couldn’t help but eye him suspiciously.

But the boy’s expression was so cold and sincere that she couldn't discern what he was really thinking.

Suddenly, an idea cto her. She asked Cheng Lie, "Do you want to grab something to eat together?"

Sitting at a small table, Cheng Lie still hadn't figured out how he had ended up agreeing to accompany Yun Shifei

for a meal.

At this hour, the street stalls were bustling with activity.

Yun Shifei ordered sweet soup and also picked up a few pieces of cake from a nearby bakery.

Although cakes in this era were relatively simple, they were enough to satisfy her cravings.

When she was upset, she loved eating sweets.

Seeing the several pieces of cake in front of her, Cheng Lie felt his brow twitch involuntarily.

He didn’t enjoy sweets, but watching Yun Shifei eat them made him wonder if they were the best-tasting food in

the world.

Otherwise, why did she look so happy eating them?

She ate with such joy, the corners of her eyes arching in satisfaction.
