After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Surprise

Of course, she didn’t mean the dog wasn’t okay—it was Mu Chengzhu who wasn’t. After being reborn, she decided to stay far away from Mu Chengzhu. Naturally, she would continue to avoid him in this life too.

Not even the grass and trees in her home should have the slightest connection to Mu Chengzhu—that would be ideal.

Yun Shifei clenched her fists. In her previous life, most of her nightmares stemmed from liking Mu Chengzhu. Now, her life was already better than before. As long as she maintained this new happiness, it would be enough.

She carried her luggage back to Beijing, and after unpacking everything in her dorm, she went to find Cheng Lie.

She brought along plenty of specialties from South City, since Cheng Lie was a South City native too; he would surely miss the local delicacies.

She didn’t give Cheng Lie any prior notice—she quietly showed up at Cheng Lie’s place.

It was Saturday today, and she figured he ought to be at home.

She rang the doorbell. After a while, the door opened, and Cheng Lie stood in front of her.

His eyes landed on her, and he smiled. "You’re here."

His expression didn’t seem particularly surprised, which made Yun Shifei curious. "Aren’t you surprised that I suddenly came over?"

"I guessed you’d arrive early."

So that’s how it was. Cheng Lie is so clever! Yun Shifei couldn’t help but marvel.

She stepped inside the house. Even though Beijing was bitterly cold, Cheng Lie’s place was warm, with the heating on—it didn’t feel chilly at all.

At home, Cheng Lie wore a dark gray sweater, which made him look gentler than usual.

However, Yun Shifei still felt that Cheng Lie’s choice of colors was too gloomy—gray, black, dark blue. They were all somber shades. She thought to herself, perhaps she should buy him some other kinds of clothes.

She took off her coat too. Underneath was a light pink sweater, soft and smooth.

She couldn’t help but exclaim, "Your place is so warm and comfortable!"

Knowing how much she disliked the cold, Cheng Lie replied, "Why don’t you stay here tonight?"

Yun Shifei thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. "Alright."
