After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Chapter 33 She’s Not My Mom

The tangy sweetness of orange juice carried a refreshing aroma; just one sip was enough to feel content.

Yun Shifei looked at Cheng Lie, her eyes curved in a smile: "Your mom is so wonderful, both beautiful and gentle."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, she saw Cheng Lie slam the book shut with a loud "bang."

The heavy sound startled Yun Shifei.

She met his eyes.

The boy’s pitch-black eyes held no trace of light, dark as a bottomless abyss, and even just one glance filled her with dread.

The Cheng Lie from before was either icy cold or hollow, but never like this.

As if no light could penetrate him, there was a ghostly chill emanating from him.

Even on a scorching summer day, he could make your skin crawl with goosebumps.

Yun Shifei grew tense, unable to help the feeling that his gaze was terrifying, making her freeze her breath.

"She’s not my mom." The boy spoke.

His voice was low, devoid of warmth.

Yun Shifei’s eyes slightly widened, ready to say something, but the door suddenly opened.

She heard a voice ring out: "Sorry, I’m late."

That voice carried a touch of cheer, like a gust of wind blowing away the suffocating tension between them.

Yun Shifei looked up and saw a young man, roughly twenty years old.

He wore gold-rimmed glasses, with refined and delicate features.

A faint smile hung on his lips, giving him an air of warmth and sophistication.

"Hello, I’m Ming Zeqi, a sophomore at Nan City University, and your tutoring teacher." The young man pushed his glasses lightly as he spoke.

"Hello, Teacher," Yun Shifei greeted Ming Zeqi.

"You’re Shi Fei, right?"

Yun Shifei nodded.

"And this must be Cheng Lie."
