After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Looking Forward

On the way, she started by lightly tugging at Cheng Lie’s clothes and eventually clung tightly to his arm.

She wished she could just hang onto him entirely.

Whimpering, she thought to herself how terrifying this all was—why was the haunted house so big? It felt like she had been walking for ages without reaching the exit.

The boy beside her glanced at the girl who was leaning on him as if he were her sole source of safety, too afraid to even open her eyes. His heart couldn’t help but be slightly startled—was she really that scared?

In the next moment, someone dressed as a ghost suddenly emerged and let out a loud growl in their direction.

"Ah—!" Yun Shifei let out a sharp scream. Although she didn’t open her eyes, she could sense some kind of ghostly figure had gotten very close to her. Terrified, she buried her head deep into Cheng Lie’s chest.

He could feel her extreme fear; she was trembling like a frightened young animal.

Unable to resist, Cheng Lie reached out and gently patted Yun Shifei’s shoulder, softly saying, "Don’t be scared, I’m here."

After saying that, he glanced at the person in front of them. Under the cold and unyielding gaze of the boy, the staff member awkwardly retreated.

Cheng Lie then quickened his pace, leading Yun Shifei out of the haunted house.

Once outside, Yun Shifei looked as if she had just narrowly escaped a disaster—tears streamed down her cheeks. She raised her hand to wipe them away and then looked at Cheng Lie: "That scared me to death..."

Seeing the girl’s pale face, Cheng Lie felt a pang of regret. He hadn’t expected her to be so scared.

But despite her fear, she had still chosen to accompany him inside when she saw him heading in.

For a moment, Cheng Lie didn’t know what to say.

He leaned down slightly and patted Yun Shifei’s head gently. "Don’t be afraid."

His voice was so tender, even he wasn’t aware of it himself.

The girl raised her reddened eyes to look at Cheng Lie, resembling a small frightened rabbit, and after a while, she said, "I’m never going to a haunted house again."

"Alright."

"...And you’re not allowed to go either."

"Alright."

Seeing Cheng Lie seriously agreeing to all her requests, Yun Shifei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
