After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Apologizing for Last Time’s Harshness

Ugh, Yun Shifei awkwardly rubbed her stomach.

Just now, because Cheng Lie had come to find her and even invited her to watch a performance, she was so flattered that she didn’t finish her meal before following Cheng Lie out. Now her stomach was growling with hunger.

She blinked her eyes and looked at Cheng Lie, pleadingly: "How about we grab some late-night snacks?"

At the bustling barbecue stall, Yun Shifei squeezed her way to the front to place her order.

Chives, corn, eggplant, chicken wings, squid, oysters...

She hadn’t had this kind of food in ages; the aroma itself was enough to make her drool.

She even went to the neighboring dessert stand and ordered a few sweets, along with a piece of fried chicken.

Cheng Lie stared at the mountain of food piled up on the small table, his usual cold gaze wavering slightly.

This much—can she really finish it all?

At that moment, Yun Shifei tore off a chicken drumstick and held it out to Cheng Lie: "Here, eat."

She had completely forgotten Cheng Lie’s previous coldness toward her.

Her thoughts were simple: if people treat her well, she’ll treat them well in return.

Even though Cheng Lie had been icy and harsh toward her before, the fact that he’d invited her to watch a performance this time proved he was a decent person.

Cheng Lie’s gaze showed disdain; he didn’t like eating such things.

Yun Shifei didn’t bother being polite. Tempted by the fragrant aroma, she couldn’t help but dig in heartily.

What kind of satisfaction was this?

Since her rebirth, Yun Shifei had never experienced it.

At home, she always had to act demure and proper, and there were so many things she wasn’t allowed to eat.

Her parents believed that at her age, eating too much junk food was bad for her health.

At most, they’d allow her to have some candy or cookies.

Though she was given weekly allowance, she hardly had anywhere to spend it.

After school, she had to go straight home; even lingering on the road for a bit would prompt Xu Ya to question why she was late.

Now, she finally had the chance to eat outside. Of course, she had to indulge in all the junk food she had been craving!

Gnawing on fried chicken, devouring skewers, and sipping on icy cola—this kind of happiness felt like stepping into heaven.
