After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 153: Chapter 153 The Gift He Gave

Cheng Lie didn’t quite like Ming Zeqi, because Yun Shifei always looked at him with a look of admiration.

Like now.

"Teacher, how are you so amazing? I never thought of solving the problem this way."

"This question is so complicated. How come when you explain it, it seems much simpler?"

She looked at Ming Zeqi with light in her eyes.

This pure look of admiration is something no man would dislike.

Cheng Lie felt a gentle itch in his heart, like something was climbing inside.

If only Yun Shifei could look at him like that one day.

He actually knew everything, he could solve these problems too.

But he couldn’t let that be known.

Cheng Lie suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.

In the past, such days of restraint didn’t mean much to him, but now, they were a bit hard to endure.

Yun Shifei, being sensitive, quickly noticed that Cheng Lie seemed unhappy, and couldn’t help but ask, "Cheng Lie, what’s wrong? Do you want some snacks?"

Hearing this, Cheng Lie became even more upset.

He wasn’t a child anymore! Why did she always ask him what he wanted to eat?

Ming Zeqi also heard this and smiled while looking at Cheng Lie.

Cheng Lie shot Ming Zeqi a cold glance, his expression icy.

However, Ming Zeqi was used to Cheng Lie’s indifference, so he didn’t dwell on it.

From then on, Cheng Lie would come every time for tutoring.

They were practically just changing locations to study together.

However, Yun Shifei felt more at ease at her own place, and Cheng Lie probably thought the same.

Yun Tiancheng was usually not at home during the day, and Aunt Zhong would make them a lot of good food.

Cheng Lie did whatever he wanted, he even napped at her house in the afternoon.

After Ming Zeqi left, Yun Shifei would pull Cheng Lie to watch TV shows together.

Right now, the animated version of Journey to the West was very popular, an animated series that many kids rushed home to watch after school.

To her, it was a childhood memory, endlessly nostalgic.

She thought Cheng Lie would probably like it too.

But what she didn’t know was that Cheng Lie had no interest in cartoons at all.

He watched, only to accompany her.

New Year’s Day arrived soon.

The new year was waving its arms in front, welcoming their arrival.

came just like that, and there weren’t many changes that year.

The only change was that Yun Shifei found time to be even tighter.

She studied more earnestly, trying to use the limited time left to get into a university and rewrite her destiny.

Even though they had a three-day holiday for New Year’s Day, she still devoted her time to studying.

Because not long after New Year’s Day, the final exams would take place.

She also wanted to achieve a better grade, at least having a happier New Year.

This year, Yun Tiancheng mentioned his plan to her, wanting Xu Ya to come home for a family reunion dinner.

After all, they were only separated, not truly divorced, and for family gatherings, they still needed to attend as a couple.

Yun Shifei didn’t have much feeling about this.

Xu Ya now felt very unfamiliar to her; she didn’t expect her to love her anymore.

Having expectations often leads to disappointment, but without expectations, there’s less disappointment too.

"Yun Shifei! Yun Shifei, come out!" Suddenly, a voice rang out downstairs.

The loud voice made Yun Shifei shiver.

She walked to the balcony to look at the gate, and she saw Song Yang standing downstairs.

After not seeing him for a while, Yun Shifei almost didn’t recognize Song Yang.

Song Yang had cut his hair very short, almost close to his scalp, and his figure seemed slimmer.

He was no longer the rebellious boy he used to be; now he had gained a touch of maturity.

Why was he appearing here?

No matter why he appeared, Yun Shifei didn’t want to see him, just pretend she didn’t hear it.

Who knew that as soon as Song Yang looked up he saw her.

He smiled at her, "Yun Shifei, come down, I have something to give you."

His smile was still the same as before, with a hint of mischief, making people think he might do something unpleasant.

Yun Shifei didn’t want to go down.

"Hurry up, or I’ll just stand at your doorstep all day."

This person was really annoying.

People came and went in the neighborhood, many of whom were students from Xinhua Middle School, and Song Yang was once a notable figure in their school. His appearance here would inevitably lead to wild guesses and endless rumors.

Yun Shifei went downstairs, opened the door, and walked out, asking, "What do you want?"

The weather was cold, but the sunlight was just right.

Song Yang squinted, looking at the girl walking out of the house. noveldrama

She was wearing simple home wear, a fluffy jacket in pink, looking very soft to the touch.

Just like a little rabbit.

But her expression was nothing like a soft little rabbit; she looked at him coldly, vigilant, as if expecting him to bully her again.

Song Yang couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t eat you."

"I haven’t been in contact with Yun Sisi recently," Yun Shifei said.

She wanted to say, don’t bother her because of Yun Sisi anymore.

Song Yang’s smile stiffened somewhat.

"Who said I came to you because of her? Come over." He beckoned to Yun Shifei with his finger.

Though afraid, Yun Shifei thought this was her home, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to her.

If anything felt off, she could just shout.

Unexpectedly, when she walked over, Song Yang placed a box in her hand.

"I haven’t been going to school these days and was sent to work by my parents. This necklace is what I got using my wages and previous pocket money, consider it my apology gift."

Yun Shifei opened the box, revealing a very delicate necklace, pure gold, with a blue gemstone embedded in the middle, looking especially noble.

With Song Yang’s character, it was impossible that he was giving her a fake.

Yun Shifei thought the gift was a hot potato, handed it back to Song Yang, "I don’t want your gift, and I won’t forgive you. Take it back."

"I’ve never taken back a gift I’ve given. If you don’t want it, I’ll throw it in the trash. That’s it, Yun Shifei, take good care of it for me. Whether you forgive me or not, the gift is yours." Song Yang, with a proud and high-spirited attitude, said his piece and turned away, striding off.

Leaving Yun Shifei standing there, holding the gift dazedly.

He walked away so quickly that she couldn’t even say anything.

She wanted to say, if you don’t want it, then throw it into the trash can, anyway, with parents who pamper him like that, a little money wouldn’t matter to him.

But now, staring at this necklace, she was a bit troubled—should she throw it away herself...

Song Yang exhaled a sigh of relief after leaving Yun Shifei’s neighborhood.

It was nice to have given the gift, and she didn’t have a chance to refuse.

During this time, Song Yang had been feeling guilty.

Especially when his parents sent him to work, experiencing the cold and warmth of the world, he realized what a good time it was at school.
