After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 359: How Much Does He Like Her

It was a hospital integrating both Chinese and Western medicine. After seeing the doctor and getting checked, there was no major issue. The doctor just said Yun Shifei had a constitution that was slightly cold and prescribed some Chinese medicine for her to drink.

Yun Shifei looked at the big bag of medicine and couldn’t help but frown, it was definitely going to be horribly bitter.

The amount she liked sweets matched how much she hated bitter things.

Yun Shifei looked at Cheng Lie, "Can I not drink it? It might not even work."

She thought this kind of thing was more related to her constitution, drinking more of the medicine might not even help.

But Cheng Lie said, "No."

Yun Shifei replied, "I don’t think it’ll help."

"You’ll only know if it helps after you’ve tried. Do you want your stomach to hurt every time?" No matter how Yun Shifei explained, Cheng Lie wouldn’t listen.

Yun Shifei frowned, thought for a moment, and realized he was right. It was just as painful each time her stomach hurt.

Cheng Lie then petted her head, like he was petting a kitten, "Then be good and drink it."

Sigh, Yun Shifei sighed painfully.

Cheng Lie gathered up the medicine pack, "This medicine is to be taken once every three days. It’s inconvenient at your dorm, so come to my place then."

Yun Shifei nodded.

Anyway, what else could she do but accept her fate?

Seeing Yun Shifei look as if she was going to her doom, Cheng Lie couldn’t help but laugh, pinching her face gently, "Wanna go eat? A new cake shop opened recently, let’s go try it."

Upon hearing this, Yun Shifei, who originally looked listless, brightened up instantly, "Let’s go."

She really was easy to please, Cheng Lie laughed.

Not far away, Zhao Pan watched the "sickly sweet atmosphere" and felt a bit bitter. Ah, he truly was a glaring third wheel.

He also wanted to be in a relationship, but unfortunately, he was too busy for it now.

He truly envied Mr. Cheng, who could manage both career success and love at the same time.

Every three days, Yun Shifei had to go to Cheng Lie’s house to take medicine. The medicine wasn’t pleasant, but Cheng Lie would always prepare a bunch of candies for her to wash down the bitterness each time she drank up.

Yun Shifei didn’t find it too unpleasant.

After all, it was just a bowl of medicine; she could swallow it with some grit.

Yun Shifei decided to transform Cheng Lie’s cold and plain apartment. She bought back many fresh flowers and arranged them in various corners of the room.

She also bought some potted plants and asked Cheng Lie, "Can you take care of these?"

Cheng Lie seemed a bit troubled, "I’ll try my best."

For him, he usually treated himself carelessly, let alone plants.

But since Yun Shifei brought them, he of course tried his best to care for them.

Yun Shifei was worried he might forget, so she took sticky notes and placed one on each pot, instructing how much water to give this one, how often that one should get sunlight.

She even tried to have Cheng Lie bring out his paintings and put a few in the living room.

Cheng Lie raised an eyebrow with a meaningful expression, "Are you sure?"

Yun Shifei nodded.

"Then pick freely."

Cheng Lie opened his studio, letting Yun Shifei choose inside.

The studio was filled with beautiful paintings, but...

Yun Shifei looked at the paintings on the wall, and her face couldn’t help but flush. She turned to Cheng Lie, "Is this me?"

Cheng Lie nodded.

Yun Shifei was astonished. It was her first time stepping into Cheng Lie’s studio. She originally thought Cheng Lie was now busy with work and probably didn’t have much time for painting, but she saw an unfinished piece on the easel, depicting a girl’s profile.

He must like her so much to have drawn her so often, and they’re all so beautiful.

Having such a talented boyfriend was really... she didn’t even know how she unknowingly got spoiled by him!

Cheng Lie leaned closer to Yun Shifei and whispered in her ear, "Should all these be hung up? They all look good."

Yun Shifei immediately shook her head, "No, no, it’s fine to keep them here. If you don’t mind, could you give me one?"

Yun Shifei picked a very small painting, as small as a photograph. She didn’t even know how Cheng Lie managed to paint it.

She thought she must get a delicate frame to enshrine it.

Looking back at the paintings she made of Cheng Lie before, cough, compared to his, she felt she might as well never paint again.

It was an insult to Cheng Lie’s good looks!

Recently, Yun Shifei and Cheng Lie’s relationship returned to how it was before, and she also cared about Xu Yuejiao’s romantic progress.

Day by day passed, and the final exams were approaching. The two sisters arranged to meet up to eat and chat.

Xu Yuejiao seemed a little less energetic than before.

"Feifei, didn’t I reject him as you suggested last time? Then a few days later, he came to find me, asking if I could wait for him for five years."

Yun Shifei was full of question marks, "Why wait for five years?"

Five years isn’t exactly short or long. By then, they’d have graduated, wouldn’t they go separate ways?

"I said the same, but he wouldn’t say why, just that if I really liked him, I should give him five years. Thinking it over and over, I agreed."

In fact, Xu Yuejiao didn’t really ponder much. As soon as Zhou Li said this, she agreed readily.

Yun Shifei couldn’t help but laugh, shaking her head, "Sis, your heart is too big."

But she quite envied Xu Yuejiao. Unlike herself, Xu Yuejiao seemed to do everything so fearlessly in life, so cautious but bold. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Xu Yuejiao did whatever she wanted without thinking too much.

She really admired Xu Yuejiao for that.

When would she be this decisive and not be pushed step by step by Cheng Lie?

Xu Yuejiao sighed, "In five years, I’ll be twenty-four. By then, my parents will surely nag me to get married."

People at that time didn’t have the concept of late marriage; everyone typically married early. One can imagine the pressure Xu Yuejiao is under agreeing to wait for Zhou Li.

"By the way, do you know about Zhou Li’s family background?" Yun Shifei suddenly asked. She wondered if Zhou Li’s request was related to his family situation.

Xu Yuejiao shook her head, then seemed to remember something, "I recall, he’s on a school scholarship and grant."

He’s got great grades, but his family situation is somewhat challenging, so he uses these to support himself.

Yun Shifei pondered; so Zhou Li does like Xu Yuejiao, but maybe because of his family’s financial situation, he’s unable to accept her affection.

Yun Shifei looked at Xu Yuejiao. Though usually careless, her attire and demeanor implied well-nurtured upbringing, carefree at a glance.

Zhou Li likely considered this factor too.

It’s possible he likes her but fears she’d suffer being with him, hence asked her to wait for five years.
