After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 28: Chapter 28 He doesn’t like sweets at all

At this moment, two students were standing at the entrance of a small shop near the school.

As summer arrived, the sun set later and later each day.

Even at five o’clock, the sunlight was still blazing fiercely.

Today’s temperature was close to thirty degrees.

Yun Shifei stood in front of the freezer, picking out ice creams.

Ice creams these days were very cheap—the cheapest ones were unwrapped popsicles sold in bulk, just one cent a stick. They had no packaging, no added ingredients, only sweetness. Yet, because they were inexpensive, they became many people’s go-to summer treat to beat the heat.

The fanciest ice creams were priced between five to ten cents, with elaborate packaging that was quite tempting.

Yun Shifei glanced at Cheng Lie beside her. "What flavor do you want?"

Cheng Lie stayed quiet and didn’t respond.

Yun Shifei sighed and casually picked out a three-colored ice cream for Cheng Lie that she thought tasted the best.

Cheng Lie silently watched as Yun Shifei paid, then watched her tear open the ice cream wrapper and hand the ice cream to him.

"It’s really tasty, you should try it." She smiled brightly, her face full of anticipation that he would accept it.

Cheng Lie didn’t particularly like sweet things, but seeing Yun Shifei’s hopeful expression, he couldn’t bring himself to let her down, so he took it.

After taking it, Cheng Lie felt a bit regretful. Why did he accept her kindness?

Meanwhile, Yun Shifei breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that Cheng Lie wouldn’t eat it. She could eat two ice creams herself, but then she might not be able to eat dinner later.

Originally, she was planning to head straight home after school.

Who would’ve guessed that at the school gate, she’d be stopped by the Cheng Family’s driver, Uncle Liu, who insisted that she go home with Cheng Lie.

Yun Shifei knew it must be Cheng Guomin’s idea—hoping she and Cheng Lie could become friends.

But shortly after the vehicle left the school gate, it broke down. Uncle Liu had to call a repair shop to get someone to come over.

She thought they might have to wait for a while and suggested to Cheng Lie that they walk home first.

Anyway, the school wasn’t far from where they lived.

For some reason, she suddenly wanted to eat ice cream and dragged Cheng Lie to buy some.
