Reborn: Married to the Demon King

Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Let Him Struggle The college entrance examination lasted for two days and ended quickly.

Yun Shifei, meanwhile, was preparing for her senior year of high school. She now particularly cherished the tshe spent with Cheng Lie.

She remembered that in the second semester of senior year, Cheng Lie was taken abroad by Cheng Guomin for medical treatment. He got better, but afterward, it was as if he becan entirely different person and left the Cheng Family.

During that time, the Cheng Family also suddenly encountered difficulties.

Everyone said it was Cheng Lie's revenge.

Yun Shifei glanced at the boy sitting across from her. Sunlight streamed in and spilled onto his face. His skin was so pale that the blood vessels were visible. Right now, he was bowing his head earnestly as he read a book.

His eyelashes fluttered lightly, catching a subtle shard of light.

The boy's boyishness was shedding little by little — he looked increasingly handsome.

It made sense; he was almost seventeen now.

Even so, he was still so obedient that it made her want to pat his head.

Yun Shifei pulled a candy out of her pocket and handed it to Cheng Lie, "Here, have this." Cheng Lie lowered his gaze toward the candy, then glanced at Yun Shifei. She always treated him like a child. But he didn't quite like that feeling.

Still, under Yun Shifei's expectant gaze, Cheng Lie unwrapped the candy and placed it in his mouth.

The sweet and tangy flavor spread, carrying a hint of lemon that made the summer feel significantly fresher.

The way Yun Shifei looked at him beceven more affectionate.

Suddenly, Cheng Lie reached out and held Yun Shifei's hand.

The girl's hand was slender and soft, as if boneless; he easily wrapped it within his palm.

Yun Shifei froze as Cheng Lie held her hand.

The boy's palm was dry yet warm, making her feel inexplicably uneasy.

She tried to withdraw her hand.

Cheng Lie tightened his grip on her hand even more.

"Cheng Lie, let go of me," Yun Shifei protested, feeling her hand being held like this. Although she knew Cheng Lie didn't understand such things, he was, after all, a boy her age.

The feeling was so strange.

It made her heart race uncontrollably.

Probably because she had never had her hand grabbed like this before - even in her previous life, when Mu Chengzhu pretended to date her, he never initiated any physical contact.

At the time, she didn't think much of it. She simply believed Mu Chengzhu liked her, and that belief made her devoted to him.

But now, she wouldn't think that way anymore. She merely felt she must have been incredibly foolish back then; if a man truly liked you, how could he be unwilling to even hold your hand? Snapping back to reality, Yun Shifei looked at Cheng Lie, who still hadn't let go of her hand.

She struggled for a while but failed to free herself, eventually giving up and saying helplessly, "Cheng Lie, let go of my hand. Haven't you heard that boys and girls shouldn't touch each other?" She suddenly remembered the hug from last tand couldn't help but blush.

Cheng Lie didn't miss the change in her expression. His thin lips curled into a faint smile, though Yun Shifei didn't notice.

He spoke, "I want another candy." His voice was crisp and light, carrying a hint of innocence.

Yun Shifei: "..." This kid - wanting candy is no reason to hold her hand so insistently. It startled her.

"Let go of my hand first, and then I'll get you a candy." Only after Yun Shifei said this did Cheng Lie let go of her hand.

He felt an empty void in his palm, which left him oddly reluctant.

Yun Shifei stood up, went out, and grabbed a handful of candies for Cheng Lie.

"Don't eat too many, okay!" Cheng Lie looked at the pile of candies in front of him. She told him not to eat too many, yet gave him so many. When he looked up, he saw Yun Shifei smiling at him.

The smile was soft and delicate, but her brows and eyes opened up into the most beautiful hues.

Yun Shifei hadn't anticipated that, several days after the exam, she would see Mu Chengzhu.

But she distinctly remembered that, in her previous life, Mu Chengzhu had gone with his classmates to travel somewhere at this time.

Could it be that she was older now and misremembered? Yun Shifei found it strange.

Moreover, Mu Chengzhu even cover as a guest and played with her dog.

Looking at the little rascal sprawled out on the floor, belly up and utterly relaxed, being stroked by Mu Chengzhu, Yun Shifei felt a bit sour inside.

She almost wanted to hang the dog up and scold him. How could he be so unprincipled, so oblivious to loyalty! Mu Chengzhu pet the dog while asking Yun Shifei, "Shi Fei, you'll be in your senior year next semester. Have you thought about which university you'd like to attend?" "I haven't decided." "Stay in South City; there are still quite a few good schools here." "That depends on whether I can get in at all." Her current grades could at best land her in a vocational college.

Seeing that Yun Shifei wasn't interested in continuing the conversation, Mu Chengzhu added, "Do you want my notes? I can give them to you." "Doesn't your sister need them?" "She doesn't." If Mu Jiayu heard this, she would definitely explode.

Before Mu Chengzhu's college entrance exams, Mu Jiayu demanded that he hand over his notes to her, but Mu Chengzhu said nothing.

If Mu Jiayu found out that Mu Chengzhu planned to give these notes to Yun Shifei, she'd undoubtedly be livid.

"I don't need them either. Your grades are excellent; I definitely won't understand your notes." "How will you know if you don't look?" Mu Chengzhu stood up as he spoke. "I'll go grab them for you." Their houses were only a few minutes apart; fetching the notes was very convenient.

Yun Shifei didn't even have tto refuse before Mu Chengzhu left.

Mu Chengzhu returned hand took out several notebooks from his senior Year. Carefully Nipping through them, he saw they were well-written and comprehensive, suitable for Yun Shifei to study.

As Mu Chengzhu stepped out, Mu Jiayu just happened to return home.

Seeing him holding so many notebooks m in his arms, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Brother, where are you taking your notes?" She had been coveting them for quite a while.

Although both she and Mu Chengzhu had been admitted to the top class, her brother's grades ranked among the best in the school, while hers were only upper-middle tier, hovering around 20th-30th place in the year. That was why she badly wanted his notes! But she hadn't expected Mu Chengzhu to directly carry the notes out?! Mu Jiayu found this incomprehensible.

"Oh, I'm giving them away." Before Mu Jiayu could say anything, Mu Chengzhu had already left.

Mu Jiayu hurriedly followed him and saw him heading toward the Yun Family! It must be Yun Shifei! Mu Jiayu was furious. Her brother, this traitorous fool, didn't he know she hated Yun Shifei the most? Why would he treat Yun Shifei so well? Was it because Yun Shifei had grown prettier, and he liked her now? Mu Jiayu thought her brother's taste was hopelessly shallow.

Meanwhile, Yun Shifei stared blankly at the notes Mu Chengzhu had left behind.

Initially, she had been resistant, but Yun Tiancheng had seen them, so he helped her accept them.

"Shi Fei, you should learn from your Brother Mu. He's an academic genius." "If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to askanytime," Mu Chengzhu said warmly.

Yun Shifei had nothing to say. Fine, if Mu Chengzhu wanted to make a fuss, then let him be.
