After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 17: Chapter 17 She’s Just a Poor Little Thing

Yun Shifei turned her head to look at Cheng Lie.

Meeting those pitch-black, deep eyes.

Cold, harsh, sinister, with not a trace of light.

Was it Cheng Lie who just spoke?

"You told me not to meddle in other people’s business?" Yun Shifei couldn’t help but murmur as she repeated his words.

She was genuinely surprised, as she had never heard him speak before.

Cheng Lie, however, said nothing else. He pressed his lips together and lowered his gaze to the textbook.

It shouldn’t be a hallucination, right?

But then again, it made sense. Cheng Lie’s condition wasn’t particularly severe, and autism didn’t mean he was mute. Why couldn’t he talk?

But the first words he chose to say were to tell her not to meddle?

In that moment, Yun Shifei felt an indescribable heaviness in her heart.

He wasn’t truly hostile; he was just trying to protect himself, wasn’t he?
