After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: The Strange Gift

Seeing her like this, Yun Shifei had no choice but to find an excuse to leave with Sun Xiaoqi first.

"Shi Fei, it’s not safe for two girls to go home alone. Let me take you back," Li Nan followed them outside, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Yun Shifei.

By this time, Sun Xiaoqi was already leaning against her, completely drunk and unconscious.

Yun Shifei planned to hail a cab, drop Sun Xiaoqi off at her home first, and then take a detour back to her own place.

She politely declined Li Nan’s offer: "No need, I’ll just grab a taxi home."

"Two girls, and you’ve both had some drinks. It’s the middle of the night; I’m worried something might happen to you."

Yun Shifei thought about it. It did seem like he had a point—having a male classmate with them would indeed be safer. So, she didn’t refuse his company this time.

Seeing her accept his offer, Li Nan smiled, clearly happy.

First, Yun Shifei and Li Nan escorted Sun Xiaoqi to her home. Sun Xiaoqi’s mother answered the door and, seeing her drunk daughter, couldn’t help but scold her: "You silly girl, how dare you drink so much outside? Thank goodness Shi Fei took care of you, or who knows what trouble you’d have gotten into."

Yun Shifei smiled politely at Sun Xiaoqi’s mom: "Auntie, please take care of Xiaoqi. I’ll head home now."

"Alright, be careful," Sun Xiaoqi’s mother glanced at the boy standing next to Yun Shifei. He seemed alright—probably just a classmate. It was reassuring to have a boy accompany her at night.

Since Sun Xiaoqi’s house wasn’t far from Yun Shifei’s, she didn’t need to call a cab and could just walk home.

She then asked Li Nan where he lived.

"No worries, I’ll walk you home first and then head back myself," Li Nan replied.

Yun Shifei said nothing more.

The night breeze gently swept past as the two walked and chatted along the way.

"Shi Fei, will you stay in South City in the future?"

"I’m not sure yet. I might go to college in Beijing."

Hearing this, Li Nan felt a bit disappointed. Beijing had many prestigious universities, but none that he believed he could qualify for.

He wasn’t even sure if his grades would allow him to get into any college at all.
