After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Pat on the Head

Yun Shifei was working on her homework while Cheng Lie sat beside her reading a book.

Some of the books were ones Yun Shifei had specially prepared for Cheng Lie, all related to painting.

If the Cheng Family couldn’t provide him with these books, then she would be the one to do so.

From beginning to end, Yun Shifei believed that as long as someone had a bit of faith and something they loved, they would have the motivation to keep living.

Even if he had autism, there must still be a rich world within his heart.

Just like herself.

Her current goal was to study hard, strive to get into a good university in the future, and make up for her earlier regrets.

However, now that she was in her second year of high school, the knowledge she had to learn was becoming more and more difficult.

Especially since she stubbornly chose to study science. Looking at the dense numbers and symbols now, her scalp tingled.

Glancing at Yun Shifei in between reading, Cheng Lie noticed the slight furrow of her brows, as if she had run into a problem she couldn’t solve.

For him, the material they were learning now wasn’t challenging. A brief look at Yun Shifei’s problems revealed they were quite simple as well.

He felt a slight urge to teach her.

But as soon as that thought occurred to Cheng Lie, he suppressed it again.

Even though Yun Shifei was a good person, he couldn’t easily reveal himself.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Yun Shifei; during their time together, he admitted she had completely gained his trust.

But she was too pure. He feared that, without realizing it, she might disclose certain things.

And that would be dangerous for him.

Yun Shifei had no idea that working on her homework had led Cheng Lie to ponder so much.

It took her an hour to finally complete her tasks.

She then decided to relax and happily shared the snacks she had bought with Cheng Lie.

Ever since Xu Ya left, no one had been nagging her about buying snacks anymore.

Moreover, Yun Tiancheng, fearing she wasn’t living well enough, often gave her extra pocket money.

But she saved most of the money, keeping her first "fortune" for future use in case she needed it.
