After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Heartache

Yun Shifei heard this, couldn’t help but furrow her brows, and didn’t hand the item to her.

"I’ll give it to him myself."

"Miss Yun, let me take it to the young master instead."

Yun Shifei could clearly see the panic in this woman’s eyes.

She pushed past her and ran upstairs.

Bang bang bang——

Yun Shifei knocked on the door and called out, "Cheng Lie, are you there?"

At this moment, Cheng Lie was sitting at his desk reading. The boy’s complexion was even paler than it had been a few days ago.

The faint light cast over his face, as though it could pierce through his skin.

Over the past few days, Zhao Haishuang and Cheng Huai had deliberately instructed the servants to only give him one meal a day, and the dishes were poorly prepared, consisting of nothing but bland vegetables.

Cheng Lie always stopped after eating only a few bites. He couldn’t eat more.

Every year, they would do this, intentionally tormenting him; Cheng Lie had long since grown accustomed to it.

He knew that, at most, he only had to endure until next year, and he would be free.

Besides, this year hasn’t been as unbearable.

Because Yun Shifei had given him a box of candy.

When he was hungry, the candy was enough to satisfy him.

As he read, he scribbled quickly on a piece of paper, his pen scratching across it relentlessly.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of knocking and Yun Shifei’s voice, surprising Cheng Lie.

Why would she come here?

He remembered that Yun Shifei had gone to her grandmother’s house a few days ago, and she had mentioned she might stay there for several days.

Nonetheless, Cheng Lie stood up and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Yun Shifei immediately took a good look at Cheng Lie.
