After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 4 - 4 Bullying

Just thinking about all this made Yun Shifei feel terrible.

She couldn't afford to fight a losing battle; the experiences of her previous life had taught her that it wasn't worth it.

Now, how loved Yun Sisi was!

She still remembered that when she first arrived here, Xu Ya had gone out of her way to act indifferent toward her in order to reassure Yun Sisi—so that Yun Sisi wouldn't feel neglected because of her presence.

She had been assigned to sleep in the corner room, a room with poor lighting that was perpetually damp and cold.

The room hadn't been specially decorated either.

Compared with Yun Sisi's pink dreamlike princess-like room, hers had only a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe; it was empty and devoid of anything else.

It was only later, after she "willfully" pleaded, that they gradually bought some things for her.

Back then, vanity had gotten the better of her, and she demanded that her room be decorated just like Yun Sisi's.

Of course, she didn't get what she wanted, but it was still far better than before.

Yet such willfulness had led to an ever-deepening rift between her and her mother, a rift that could no longer be repaired.

Thinking about this, Yun Shifei took a deep breath.

Living another life was probably heaven's way of giving her a chance to make amends for the regrets of her past.

She wouldn't be as willful as before, but she also wouldn't let go of what was rightfully hers.

This time, however, she was immensely relieved that Cheng Lie had listened to her. If he'd said anything, it would've caused her trouble.

Thinking about this, the image of the boy's indifferent face surfaced in her mind—a silent visage, like an endless snowfield stretching beyond the horizon.

She had once heard someone say that children with autism were like stars, shining alone in the vast, dark night sky.

Was he like that too?

"Yun Shifei, I'm warning you: don't go near my brother again!"

On Monday, Yun Shifei had just arrived at school for class when Mu Jiayu pointed at her nose and issued a warning.

She stared at Yun Shifei with undisguised disgust. "I heard you were wandering all over the neighborhood looking for my brother this weekend? Don't even think about it—you're just a toad trying to eat swan meat! My brother would never be interested in someone like you!"
