After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 150: Chapter 150: One Is Enough for Me

Yun Shifei thought Song Yang brought this upon himself.

At this moment, Cheng Lie showed up too.

He was a little surprised to see Yun Shifei in the classroom.

Wasn’t she sick? Why is she here attending class?

When Yun Shifei saw Cheng Lie approaching, she greeted him with a radiant smile.

Her slightly pale face gained a touch of color because of that smile.

Looking at her genuine and adorable smile, Cheng Lie couldn’t help but avert his eyes.

Could she not smile at him like that? He really couldn’t take it.

"Cheng Lie, thank you for yesterday. It must have been troublesome for you."

Yun Shifei said as she took out a box from her backpack and handed it to Cheng Lie, "This is for you."

It was a box of chocolate candies that Yun Tiancheng had bought for her not long ago.

She hadn’t been able to bring herself to eat it and kept it unopened. This time, she purposely brought it along to thank Cheng Lie.

The chocolates were packed in a red metal tin, looking very exquisite.

Cheng Lie glanced at the chocolates, then looked back at Yun Shifei.

Although Yun Shifei’s gaze only lingered on the chocolates for a moment, he could tell she wanted to eat them herself.

Something she wanted to eat so much, yet she gave it to him instead.

Cheng Lie felt slightly speechless.

With a personality like Yun Shifei’s, it’s too easy for her to suffer losses in life.

Just because she thinks someone is kind, she’ll pour her heart out to them, even giving up things she treasures.

Such behavior wasn’t something Cheng Lie particularly liked.

However, since it was her heartfelt gesture, rejecting her would likely upset her.

So Cheng Lie opened the box of chocolates, took out one piece, and pushed the rest back toward Yun Shifei.

"You eat."

Yun Shifei was momentarily stunned and looked at Cheng Lie as if she didn’t understand what he was doing.

A sick girl’s reactions were slower than usual, and at this moment, she stared at him with an expression of confusion.

Cheng Lie felt as if something had scratched his heart, an itch he couldn’t soothe.

It was truly uncomfortable.

"Cheng Lie, I gave this to you."

"One piece is enough for me." His tone was calm and unaffected, devoid of emotion, yet carried an undeniable assertiveness.

Although Yun Shifei found his behavior particularly unreasonable, she couldn’t argue against it.

She knew that if she insisted on giving all the chocolates to Cheng Lie, he would get upset.

Ah, understanding a big shot’s thoughts is really challenging.

Such delicious chocolates, something she couldn’t bear to eat herself, and he only wanted one piece.

Still, since he wasn’t eating, she felt a bit happy. Now she could eat them too!

Out of the corner of his eye, Cheng Lie noticed the girl’s curved lips. She really...

Her emotions were always written plainly on her face.

And yet, he couldn’t help but slightly curl his own lips too.

By lunchtime, Yun Tiancheng came to take Yun Shifei home for a meal.

Since she was ill, eating homemade food was naturally the best option.

Yun Shifei felt like her illness had turned Yun Tiancheng into a caretaker fussing over her like a delicate flower.

"Dad, I’m really healthy. If you don’t believe me, I can run two laps around the school track to show you."

She felt that aside from her slightly uncomfortable airways, she was perfectly fine now.

"Even so, you need to properly recover. Shifei, only with a healed body can you study better, right?"

Yun Shifei blinked her eyes. It seemed like Yun Tiancheng’s words made sense.

Yun Tiancheng instructed Aunt Zhong to make porridge—light vegetable porridge—and prepared some refreshing dishes.

Everything was very simple and mild.

Yun Shifei’s appetite was particularly good today; she ate two bowls of porridge in one sitting.

"Aunt Zhong’s cooking is delicious," Yun Shifei praised.

Aunt Zhong smiled gently, "Miss enjoys the meal, and that’s all that matters."

After eating, Yun Tiancheng told Yun Shifei to nap at home. He would wake her up for class later in the afternoon.

Yun Tiancheng’s thorough care left Yun Shifei unsure how to respond.

She thought she might be more accustomed to taking care of herself.

"Dad, isn’t your work at the company keeping you busy?"

"Nothing is as important as you are."

Yun Shifei obediently went upstairs to rest.

While lying on the warm, soft bed, she worried she might be too comfortable to get up for class in the afternoon.

But she also knew if she said that to Yun Tiancheng, he would respond by saying, "If you can’t get up, then don’t. I’ll help you take a leave of absence to rest properly."

She was certain the situation would unfold exactly like that!

Sometimes excessive pampering wasn’t necessarily a good thing—it could lead to indulgence.

At this stage, she needed to seize every moment to study and mustn’t let herself slack off!

Just as she was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.

Yun Shifei opened her eyes, "Come in."

Yun Tiancheng walked in.

Yun Shifei noticed his face looked a bit off, icy in expression.

Before she could ask, Yun Tiancheng said, "Your mom came to see you."

Xu Ya.

Yun Shifei froze for a moment. Then, she saw Xu Ya walk in from outside.

Xu Ya approached Yun Shifei and reached out to touch her forehead, "Shifei, how are you? How are you feeling?"

"I’m doing fine..." Yun Shifei replied.

Xu Ya felt a pang in her heart at how quiet and obedient Yun Shifei looked.

She had only heard from Yun Sisi about the incident at school yesterday and didn’t process it at the time.

Today, she decided to come see how Yun Shifei was doing.

She had originally planned to visit Yun Shifei at school during lunchtime, but after hearing she’d gone home to rest, she hurried over.

She hadn’t expected to learn that Yun Shifei was ill.

"When you’re sick, you must rest more. Do you need water? Have you taken your medicine?"

Xu Ya rambled on.

The sudden concern made Yun Shifei a little uncomfortable. She didn’t know how to respond.

Yun Tiancheng frowned, "The child needs to rest. She’s taken her medicine and had water. Let’s go."

Xu Ya paused awkwardly. At this moment, she felt somewhat like an outsider.

She didn’t know what Yun Tiancheng’s relationship with Yun Shifei was like, but the way Yun Shifei looked at her was as if she were seeing a stranger.

This moment hurt Xu Ya deeply.

She followed Yun Tiancheng outside. noveldrama

"Why are you suddenly putting on an act, running here to care for the child?" Yun Tiancheng sounded exasperated with Xu Ya.

"I... I want to fix my relationship with Shifei."

"Too late!" Yun Tiancheng snapped, "Don’t think that just because Shifei carries half of your blood, you can do whatever you want. Hurting her when you feel like it, caring for her when you feel like it—you think she’s an emotionless toy?"

Yun Tiancheng was visibly angry.

"You want to repair your relationship with her simply to ease your own guilty conscience, don’t you?"

Yun Tiancheng didn’t hold back pointing out Xu Ya’s flaws.

Xu Ya furrowed her brows, wanting to retort, but when she opened her mouth, she didn’t know what to say.

Was Yun Tiancheng right?

Even she didn’t know for sure.
