After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Alienation

Cheng Huai returned home.

This afternoon, they only had two classes. Originally, his friends invited him to the dance hall, but Cheng Huai felt a little unwell and didn’t go.

He went home, took some cold medicine, and swallowed it down.

He suddenly felt his health had really deteriorated. He had no energy and kept catching colds and getting fevers.

Not long ago, he had just caught a cold, and now it happened again. This made Cheng Huai feel extremely uncomfortable.

When Zhao Haishuang saw Cheng Huai taking medicine again, she couldn’t help but feel worried.

"Why are you sick again? I keep telling you not to overindulge yourself all the time, go exercise more!"

Cheng Huai sneered at her words: "Mom, do you see Cheng Lie exercising? That fool stays at home every day. Why is his body so healthy, then?"

Hearing this, Zhao Haishuang thought it did seem to make some sense.

She realized that Cheng Lie hardly ever got sick. Though he looked weak, his body was surprisingly strong.

As Cheng Huai spoke, he couldn’t help but sneeze again.

"Enough, I’m going back to bed. I’m not eating tonight."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Haishuang didn’t stop him.

"I’ll make you some lean meat congee. At least have a little, so your body can fight off the virus."

Cheng Huai ignored her completely.

Zhao Haishuang was still very worried about his health. She thought to herself, if Cheng Huai kept getting sick like this, they had better go to the hospital for a thorough check-up.

...

Since returning from Nantian Town, Yun Shifei didn’t know how to face Cheng Lie anymore.

If it hadn’t been for Xu Yuejiao pointing it out, she wouldn’t even have realized she had feelings for Cheng Lie.

But now that she had figured it out, her way of looking at Cheng Lie had completely changed.

Her heart was in turmoil.
