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 halone. Lettake you back," Li Nan followed them outside, his

eyes sparkling as he looked at Yun Shifei.

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

Yun Shifei planned to hail a cab, drop Sun Xiaoqi off at her hfirst, 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 sdrinks. 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 Xiaogi. I'll head hnow."

"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 hfirst 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. | 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.

"Beijing is great—lots of universities, a nice environment, and you'll get to meet plenty of new friends," Li Nan

said, trying to sound optimistic.

It was rare for someone to agree with her, and Yun Shifei was delighted. Her eyes curved into a smile: "I just

want a change of scenery, really."

That's when Li Nan realized that this usually quiet, stunning classmate of his actually yearned for a place so far

away.

But if that were the case, wouldn't he stop seeing her in the future?

For the past two years, he'd sat behind her, watching her work hard, gradually improving her grades and

becoming more and more exceptional.

And she grew prettier by the day.

A beautiful and hardworking girl—her image was already deeply etched into his mind.

Just like earlier in the karaoke lounge, so many people had gone up to confess to her. Li Nan wondered if he

should also confess.

But she probably wouldn't like him, would she?

"We're here. Thank you for walkingback," Yun Shifei raised her face to look at Li Nan. In the warm, yellow

glow of the streetlights, her face appeared radiant, like a sunflower in full bloom.

The words Li Nan wanted to say seemed to spark through him like a jolt of electricity, making him pull them back

instantly.

"Alright, Shi Fei, sweet dreams," he said.

"Mhm, mhm," Yun Shifei nodded before heading into the residential complex. After walking a few steps, she

turned back to him again. "Have a great summer break!"

Li Nan smiled faintly.

He watched Yun Shifei’s silhouette disappear. He knew her family was wealthy. Living in a neighborhood like this

—filled with villas—there was no doubt about her social status.

And him? He didn’t deserve her.

So those final words in his heart went unspoken. He didn’t even ask Yun Shifei for her contact information.

He thought, what's the point? He couldn’t reach her level now—he should just focus on improving himself.

Maybe, one day, they'd actually belong to the sworld.

Not far away, someone stood quietly watching the scene and then made a phone call.

"Hello, Miss Yun has been safely escorted hby a male classmate."

"Who?" A cold voice sounded on the other end of the line.

"Someone named Li Nan." The caller clearly had memorized all of Yun Shifei’s classmates.

Li Nan.

On the other end of the line, the young man pursed his lips. He remembered the boy who sat behind him in

class.

Every now and then, he’d ask Yun Shifei for an eraser or a ruler.

But they hadn't interacted much. Yet, tonight, he'd actually walked her home.

Cheng Lie lowered his gaze, a trace of coldness flashing through his eyes. Then, unexpectedly, he smiled.

Well, it’s fine. In the the’d been gone, his girl hadn’t been short of admirers.

There were plenty of guys coveting her, it seemed.

Would she eventually forget about him?

He reminisced about the moment they parted, when she was on the verge of tears. Thinking back, did she know

even then that they’d be apart for such a long time?

Probably not. She didn’t have the gift of foresight and only thought he was going abroad for treatment.

But his sudden departure—without a word—would it make her angry?

Thinking of the way Yun Shifei used to puff up her cheeks in anger whenever she saw him being bullied, Cheng

Lie couldn't imagine how she’d look if she truly got mad at him.

Even though he could picture it—her anger must be adorable—he didn’t want to upset her.

But for now, he couldn't return yet, not for a while.

After a moment, he told the person on the phone, "Tomorrow, deliver something to Shi Fei for me."

"What is it?"

After hearing Cheng Lie’s request, the man broke into a cold sweat.

This young master really did treat him like an errand boy, didn’t he? Didn't he understand that the man also had

his own job to do?

But since Mr. Qin had instructed that all of Cheng Lie’s instructions be followed, no matter how odd, he had no

choice but to comply.

The next morning, Yun Shifei slept in, finally getting up at around 11 a.m.

It felt like all the tension from studying and memorizing had been released after the exams.

She really cherished this lazy, carefree time.

As soon as she finished brushing her teeth and was about to have breakfast, the doorbell rang.

At the door stood a man she'd never seen before.

He gave her a polite smile. "Miss Yun, someone askedto deliver this to you."

With that, the man handed her a bag and left in a hurry.

Yun Shifei was stunned as the bag was shoved into her arms. Before she could ask anything, the man was

already gone.

Looking closer, she realized the bag

Yun Shifei: "77?"

She wanted to ask the man what this all meant, but where would she even find him now?

Having walked far away, Zhao Pan finally let out a sigh of relief.

He'd rushed off to avoid Yun Shifei stopping him to interrogate him about the candies.

That young master didn’t want him revealing the truth, so his best option was to bolt.

Holding onto the giant bag of candies

felt like holding a ticking tbomb.

Her paranoia started to kick in again.
