Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Just Moved by Emotion

Although she knew they might not see each other next year, Cheng Lie didn’t know that. So, she agreed—just to make him happy.

Cheng Lie had always been quiet and aloof. It was rare to see him happy, to see him smile. Who could bear to refuse a child like him?

She truly couldn’t bear it.

When Cheng Lie saw her agree, something seemed to be spreading in his heart.

He said to Yun Shifei, "I have something to give you too."

He had drawn many, many pictures for Yun Shifei. He could pick one to give her. She’d probably like it.

"What is it?" Yun Shifei hadn’t expected Cheng Lie to give her something, and she was instantly curious.

"I’ll give it to you at home."

"Alright." Yun Shifei didn’t feel like shopping anymore. "Let’s go home."

Yun Shifei didn’t think too much about it—as long as it was a gift from Cheng Lie, she’d like it.

Yun Shifei followed Cheng Lie to the Cheng Family home.

When they reached the door, Yun Shifei stopped in her tracks. "I’ll wait here for you."

She didn’t want to enter the Cheng Family home.

Ever since Cheng Huai had done what he did last time, whenever Yun Shifei came to find Cheng Lie, she chose not to step inside the house.

Cheng Lie nodded and opened the door, walking inside.

The moment the door opened, Yun Shifei caught a strong scent of medicinal herbs.

She frowned—was the Cheng Family drinking herbal medicine now? Was it Zhao Haishuang?

Speaking of Zhao Haishuang—ever since her face was disfigured, Yun Shifei had only seen her a handful of times.

She spent most of her time at home, and even when she went out, she’d cover herself so completely that Yun Shifei could only see a vague silhouette from afar.

She didn’t know what Zhao Haishuang looked like anymore, nor did she care.
