Chapter 139: Chapter 139: The Will to Live

When the girl said this, she sounded very resolute, as if she truly believed he would become that amazing person in the future.

Cheng Lie froze for a moment, then couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips. His usually cold and deep eyes now carried a faint glimmer of light.

Should he thank her for her trust in him?

When everyone else saw him as nothing more than dirt to trample on, she was the only one who believed he held value.

How could he describe this feeling? It was like a beam of light suddenly appearing in the vast darkness.

Like he had wandered the desolate desert for what felt like an eternity, parched and famished, and water suddenly emerged before him.

This was a sensation he had never experienced before. Initially, he resisted it.

He always thought that encountering warmth would make it impossible to keep moving forward in the darkness.

Only now did he realize—he could accept warmth. Because of such warmth, he found even greater motivation to keep living.

"Let’s not talk anymore. Go to sleep early." The girl’s soft voice came from the other end.

From the sound of it, she truly sounded a bit sleepy.

"I’ll come find you tomorrow to hang out," she added.

"Alright."

After this brief exchange, neither of them spoke again. Through the phone, all that could be heard was their light breathing.

Finally, Yun Shifei couldn’t hold back. "Hang up the phone already!"

"You go first."

"Fine." Yun Shifei pouted, then hung up the call.

It seemed like every time she talked to Cheng Lie on the phone, she was always the one to hang up first.

Yun Shifei huddled in her blanket. Although it was cold outside, her blanket was warm and cozy, without any trace of chill.

Her heart felt warm too. Even though Cheng Lie looked cold and distant on the outside, in truth, he was such a warmhearted guy.

He might be quiet most of the time, but sometimes his actions in little details could truly warm her.
