After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Afraid of Warmth

After Cheng Lie finished drinking, he handed the cup back to her.

The boy’s expression remained indifferent, without a trace of emotion.

It was as if he had drunk his own water, not someone else’s.

Even though Yun Shifei’s water bottle was newly purchased for this trip, and she hadn’t even used it herself, Cheng Lie drinking unhesitatingly, without caring if she had drunk from it before—was this really okay?

Yun Shifei felt something wasn’t quite right.

She stared at Cheng Lie for a while.

The boy lowered his gaze, his long lashes casting shadows beneath his eyes, making his pale skin appear even more snow-like.

His thin lips were gently pressed together, giving him an unusually quiet and well-behaved look.

So well-behaved that one couldn’t bring themselves to blame him.

Yun Shifei stayed silent, guessing Cheng Lie’s motives for his actions, and eventually asked, "Did you forget to bring water?"

Cheng Lie nodded.

So that was it! He was probably thirsty.

This kid, seriously—going on a trip and forgetting to bring water.

Yun Shifei stuffed the water bottle into Cheng Lie’s hand. "Take it, it’s for you to drink. It’s a new bottle. I haven’t used it."

Meanwhile, she figured she’d buy a bottle of mineral water when they got to the attraction.

Cheng Lie stared at the cup in his hand.

The pink transparent bottle looked so gentle under the light, like a dream.

Actually, he did bring a water bottle.

He just hadn’t taken a sip from the water inside.

That morning, as he came downstairs, he saw Cheng Huai placing his water bottle on the table. At the sight of him, Cheng Huai smiled warmly: "Xiao Lie, good morning."

His tone was lighthearted, as usual.

But Cheng Lie noticed Cheng Huai secretly tossing a paper, dusted with some powder, into the bin.
