After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 338 Jealous

Yun Shifei: "..."

Okay, she admitted that when it came to breaking up, she really sucked!

She looked up at Cheng Lie on the stage. Cheng Lie wasn’t looking her way. Thinking about what he had said, her heart ached with sharp stings.

He was talking about her, wasn’t he?

But what did it have to do with him? Clearly, it was all her own problem. He was innocent.

And as for her... She hadn’t really done anything wrong either. They just couldn’t be together right now.

Was she supposed to tell him that Mu Chengzhu had threatened her into not being with him? With Cheng Lie’s personality, he’d definitely go after Mu Chengzhu.

Mu Chengzhu... Yun Shifei sighed. He was someone they couldn’t afford to provoke right now.

After all, those with nothing to lose fear no one.

Soon, Cheng Lie finished his speech. At the end, he even said he’d never attended college but would love to experience the campus atmosphere if he ever got the chance.

Some bolder girls started shouting, "Mr. Cheng Lie, welcome to our school anytime! I can be your desk mate!"

Today’s female university students were bold and straightforward, expressing their feelings openly when they liked someone.

The teachers and students all laughed.

Yun Shifei smiled faintly too.

"You can still laugh, Shi Fei? Your boyfriend is so amazing, and you just let him go. Can’t you spare a thought for us and let us date him instead?" Yu Liantao said regretfully.

Such a handsome and capable guy, and she just said no? Yu Liantao thought Yun Shifei was foolish!

Fu Qingqing and Tang Xiao both agreed—Yun Shifei must be out of her mind.

"I have my reasons," Yun Shifei said.

"What reasons? Your parents disapprove?"

"It’s hard to explain."

It was a secret locked in her heart, something she couldn’t share with anyone—not even Xu Yuejiao.

Thinking back to that young man on the stage, so dazzling and brilliant, he was like a rising star, destined to shine brightly in the sky one day.

It was wonderful.

He kept getting better-looking, and more and more people liked him.

Yun Shifei didn’t feel upset about it—it was just the path he was meant to take, and now it was given back to him.

Walking out of the auditorium, they spotted Cheng Lie getting into a car, and beside him stood Wen Lin.

"Shi Fei, look at the woman next to Cheng Lie—how beautiful she is!"

Wen Lin wore a simple white lace dress. Elegant and vintage, she carried herself with an air of sophistication.

She was laughing and chatting with Cheng Lie, and they looked like a perfect pair.

Yun Shifei: "..."

Her heart, which still carried casual indifference until now, felt a pang of sour jealousy.

Cheng Lie, that bastard! How could he look so cozy with her, so perfectly matched?

Yun Shifei felt like crying.

Forget it—turn anger into motivation. One day, she’d stand beside him again. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

That night, Yun Shifei went to the school’s computer lab to browse the internet for a while.

Although the internet was slow during this era, she had things to do and wanted to investigate Cheng Lie’s online chatroom.

This chatroom was the prototype of what would later become a widely-used online communication tool. It was intriguing, albeit still a web-based version.

Logging into her account, several people immediately added her.

She casually clicked "accept." Since she was bored anyway, she left the chatroom open and got back to her tasks.

After a while, Yun Shifei returned to the webpage and found someone trying to chat with her.

A user with the screen name "Cheng Cheng" messaged her: "Hello."

Yun Shifei thought the username was quite cute and replied, "Hello."

She found this sort of chatting quite entertaining.

"What are you doing?"

"Browsing information online."

As Yun Shifei answered, she continued studying the website she’d created, thinking about how to improve it.

She suddenly realized there was a lot to fix. What she had built was just a shell, and it would take time to fill it with content.

Meanwhile, Cheng Cheng kept chatting with her.

"Browsing what kind of information? Need help?"

"Looking into how to build a website," she replied.

"I happen to study computer science too. Are you my junior?"

Yun Shifei hesitated, startled. "Which university are you from?"

"Z University Computer Science Department."

Whoa, he turned out to be from the neighboring university!

Yun Shifei thought it was quite a coincidence.

Still, they were just online acquaintances. Even though it wasn’t like the modern internet where scammers lurked everywhere, she didn’t have the courage to share her personal information.

So Yun Shifei replied, "It’s fate, but I don’t need help. I’m logging off now—chat next time."

After saying goodbye, Yun Shifei logged off.

Truthfully, she’d only wanted to try out Cheng Lie’s chatroom and see how it worked.

She hadn’t intended to make many friends online—she wasn’t someone good at building social connections.

After logging off, Yun Shifei glanced at the school’s forum. The homepage was packed with posts about Cheng Lie.

Many students were gossiping about Cheng Lie’s background.

"Trustworthy source! Cheng Lie is from South City, 19 years old, and single!" one user posted.

Another post went like this—

"Quick, look! How handsome is this photo I took of him?"

Yun Shifei clicked in and saw a blurry picture of Cheng Lie on stage, taken by Zhao Pan. He wore a white shirt and black pants, clean and crisp, accentuating his cool, sharp demeanor. Even in such a fuzzy photo, he looked better than a celebrity.

Yun Shifei felt an even bigger pang of jealousy in her heart.

And so, she acted on impulse—pulling all posts about Cheng Lie to the back and highlighting random mundane threads on the homepage.

Seeing only a handful of threads about Cheng Lie scattered on the front page, Yun Shifei felt oddly satisfied!

She wanted Cheng Lie to gradually rise to become a star, but she hated seeing so many girls fawning over him.

Fine, Yun Shifei admitted it—she was just being selfish. She wanted to keep Cheng Lie to herself. Even though they’d broken up, she couldn’t bear the thought of sharing him with anyone else.

Since when had she become like this? Developing possessiveness?

Feeling frustrated, Yun Shifei closed her laptop. Forget it—time to face reality. She’d already dumped the rising star—dreaming of reconciliation was no more than wishful thinking.

Two days later, she went to class and was shocked to see Cheng Lie appear in the classroom.

Everyone looked dumbfounded when they saw Cheng Lie.

Yun Shifei was no exception.

She originally wanted to find a quiet corner to sit in, but Yu Liantao spotted her and dragged her toward Cheng Lie.

"Shi Fei, why are you hiding back there? You can’t see the teacher from the back—let’s sit closer up," Yu Liantao said loudly.

Hearing this, Cheng Lie looked up at them. Yu Liantao had already waved to him, saying, "Hey, handsome guy! Mind if we sit next to you?"

Cheng Lie nodded, showing no objections.

Yu Liantao immediately pulled Yun Shifei to sit next to him.
