After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Strange

"I knew it—Sisi is the most sensible of all." Xu Ya’s expression immediately changed, and her usual smile returned.

She even reached out to pinch Yun Sisi’s cheek.

"Actually, having an older sister isn’t bad. It’s like Mom: she has a sister and a younger brother, and we’ve always had a great relationship since childhood."

Is it the same? Yun Sisi roared inwardly.

If she hadn’t been adopted from an orphanage, if she had grown up with Yun Shifei together, maybe she would feel like Xu Ya—that having another sister wouldn’t really matter.

But she was used to having her parents’ attention all to herself. She was accustomed to being the sole focus of their love. Could she truly be happy with someone suddenly taking that from her?

Yun Shifei!

Yun Sisi clenched her teeth in anger.

Her pain—it was all because of her.

She despised her. There was no way the two of them could coexist.

...

The next day, Yun Shifei went to the Cheng Family again for her lessons.

After the first day of assessment, Ming Zeqi already understood Yun Shifei’s situation and selected some junior high school-level books to teach her gradually.

Yun Shifei was able to keep up with the pace.

Many things she hadn’t understood before suddenly became clear when Ming Zeqi explained them this way.

Yun Shifei wasn’t stupid by any means, and now that she was putting effort into her studies, she was slowly learning to deduce and infer.

As they discussed the problems, Cheng Lie quietly sat nearby reading a book.

Before they knew it, the entire afternoon had passed.

"Then, let’s continue the lesson next week," Ming Zeqi said to Yun Shifei with a smile. His warm smile, like a spring breeze, made people feel at ease.

"Goodbye, Mr. Ming."

Yun Shifei also started packing her things to leave.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Haishuang walked in and said, "Shifei, why don’t you stay over for dinner tonight at our house?"
