After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 243: Chapter 243 | Just Like Him and That's Fine

Seeing Yun Shifei walking away like that, Xu Yuejiao hurriedly grabbed her and apologized profusely, but Yun

Shifei was still angry.

She felt that if she didn’t show a little fierceness this tand make Xu Yuejiao see her bottom line, Xu Yuejiao

would keep trying to pair her up with other guys in the future.

"Don’t do this kind of thing again. If | want to date someone, I'll find them myself. You don’t need to worry about

it."

"Yes, yes, Feifei has always been someone who doesn’t need others to worry about her," Xu Yuejiao tried to

appease Yun Shifei, hoping to calm her down.

"If you keep doing this, I won't talk to you anymore."

Xu Yuejiao nodded vigorously, vowing she wouldn't dare do it again.

Sigh, thinking about it now, she realized that what she thought was good for Yun Shifei wasn't necessarily good.

She had to learn from this mistake moving forward.

"Alright," Yun Shifei said, seeing that Xu Yuejiao truly understood her mistake. Her anger dissipated, and her tone

softened. "We've been out all day; you're tired too. Go back and rest."

Yun shifei also wanted to head back to the dorm to rest.

The sunlight outside was blinding, so bright that it made her squint and feel drowsy. This seemed like the perfect

moment for a nap.

After the college entrance exams, Yun Shifei found herself increasingly fond of sleeping, as if she was trying to

make up for all the lost sleep from the past few years.

"Wait, Feifei," Xu Yuejiao suddenly remembered, "Cheng Lie is back! Oh, right, no wonder you don’t like Ye Yi; it's

because you like Cheng Lie!" This was Xu Yuejiao’s fault—it was her mistake. She had once believed Yun Shifei’s

words that they would never meet again. So when Ye Yi, a quality guy, appeared, she thought Yun Shifei should

seize the chance.

"What exactly did you talk about with Cheng Lie in the private room for so long? Ye Yi and | had already finished

eating, and you only cout then."

With Yun Shifei no longer angry, Xu Yuejiao couldn't help but ask about her interaction with Cheng Lie. To be

honest, she was very curious about what they had talked about in the private room.

Upon hearing Xu Yuejiao bring up Cheng Lie, Yun Shifei inexplicably felt a little guilty.

"He treatedto dessert."

"But you didn’t just talk about nothing the whole time, right?"

"Just catching up," Yun Shifei said plainly.

Xu Yuejiao was dissatisfied with Yun Shifei’'s answer—it wasn’t what she wanted to hear.

"Tell me! Are you planning to be with him?" At the end, Xu Yuejiao’s tone rose, her expression filled with teasing

curiosity.

But now, Yun Shifei wasn’t angry anymore.

Thinking back to the moment earlier, when Cheng Lie had said, "Just be my girlfriend," her heart had nearly leapt

out of her chest.

She had entertained the thought, too.

But facing a charismatic, perceptive man like him—a man who could see through her little tricks with just one

glance—she still felt a bit out of her element. So, she tactfully gave Cheng Lie the equivalent of a "good-person

card."

"You're great, but I'm not planning to date anyone for now."

What could she do? She was timid. She had always been timid, and when it cto matters of the heart, she

was even more so.

After all, in her previous life, she had been hurt. She couldn't stop herself from loving someone, but she could

restrain herself from starting a relationship.

Besides, back when she liked Cheng Lie, she had never thought about being with him. She simply wanted to

bury her feelings for him deep in her heart. After all, he was exceptional, and she didn’t quite feel like she

matched him now.

So Cheng Lie’s sudden confession left her utterly stunned.

She wasn’t even sure if he meant it seriously or was just casually saying it without understanding the

implications of being boyfriend and girlfriend.

Therefore, she couldn't take his words seriously.

After rejecting him, Cheng Lie maintained an indifferent expression, without any peculiar reactions. This further

confirmed Yun Shifei’s assumption that he likely didn’t realize it was a confession...

Snapping back to reality, Yun Shifei looked at Xu Yuejiao’s gossip-hungry face and couldn't help but say, "I'm not

with him."

Xu Yuejiao was anxious for her: "But don’t you like him?!"

"But his feelings foraren't the kind of feelings you're thinking of."

Xu Yuejiao clicked her tongue. "Don’t you know the saying that a woman chasing a man is like separating with a

thin veil? If you don’t act now, are you planning to let someone else chase after him?"

"I'm timid," Yun Shifei said matter-of-factly.

She had been so confident earlier when scolding Xu Yuejiao, but now, when it cto herself, she was

completely rattled.

Xu Yuejiao wanted to say, "Karma's here," but she held back, only complaining in her heart. She was still very

concerned about her cousin's relationship progress.

"So, are you saying you don’t want to be with him?"

"I don’t. | just like him, and that’s enough."

"..." Honestly, her cousin was a real piece of work. Is there really such a situation where someone likes another

person but doesn’t want to be with them?

"Sister Jiaojiao, I'm heading back. I'm really sleepy and need to rest."

"But I'm not done talking yet. Hey! How can you just leave like this..."

Yun Shifei completely ignored Xu Yuejiao’s words and headed straight back to her dorm.

Gosh, talking about this topic between the two of them was seriously awkward. She didn’t want anyone to know

about it.

But she figured that Xu Yuejiao would definitely keep asking her about this in the future.

Back in the dorm, she tidied up her belongings and got ready for a nap.

Lying on the bed with her eyes closed, the image of Cheng Lie’s face floated in her mind.

They hadn't seen each other for over half a year, hadn't they? He had recovered from his illness, grown more

mature, but still retained his characteristic coldness—only, he was exceptionally kind to her.

Cheng Lie had left her a phone number, saying she could contact him if she ever had the time.

They had reconnected again.

Yun Shifei had also asked where he was staying now and what he was doing.

But Cheng Lie told her that, for the tbeing, he couldn't share that information with her.

This guy—he already had his own secrets.

That made sense. He was gradually becoming more prominent, certainly busy with matters he couldn't easily

disclose to her.

Seeing him improving his life, Yun Shifei couldn't help but feel happy for him.

She would also strive to becbetter.

The words she said to Xu Yuejiao earlier? Lies.

She simply felt that, at this moment, she wasn’t worthy enough. Cheng Lie was far more outstanding than

herself.

Thinking about this, Yun Shifei felt like she was being incredibly shameless, actually fantasizing that Cheng Lie

might like her.

It was possible Cheng Lie actually didn’t feel that way about her.

She wanted people to think they were a perfect match in every aspect.

When that tcame, Yun Shifei felt, she would be ready to confess to Cheng Lie.

Until then, she still had to work hard—very, very hard.

Meanwhile, Ye Yi had returned to his dormitory, growing more and more unsettled. He consulted one of his

roommates, a self-proclaimed relationship expert.

"Given this situation, you're in serious trouble!" The relationship expert concluded.

"What should I do then?"

"She's probably guessed that you like her and thinks you're being too vague and unmanly about it."

"Should I just confess directly?" Ye Yi frowned as he asked.
