After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Devil

After a good nap, Yun Shifei felt much better.

She had come to terms with it. Though spending time with Cheng Lie recently had been enjoyable, there’s no such thing as an everlasting banquet; permanent friendships are rare, after all.

Since he wasn’t willing to be friends with her, there was no point in being upset.

She didn’t want him to follow the extreme path of his previous life.

But she wasn’t benevolent enough to keep approaching someone who so intensely repelled her.

Knowing when to stop was the key.

Yun Shifei went back to planning her life with her usual diligence.

She paid close attention during class, ate lunch in the cafeteria, came back to the classroom for a nap, and then continued to attend the afternoon lessons.

After school, she packed her things and went home.

The day was simple yet fulfilling.

But little did she know, someone wasn’t feeling as great as her.

Cheng Lie watched the silhouette of Yun Shifei tidying her things and leaving.

Today, his gaze frequently and involuntarily landed on Yun Shifei.

When Yun Shifei had been by his side, he hadn’t thought much of it. But now that she no longer talked to him, Cheng Lie found himself unsettled. A vague discomfort took root in his heart and weighed on him all day.

But why didn’t Yun Shifei seem to feel the same way?
