After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Surprise

Of course, she didn’t mean the dog wasn’t okay—it was Mu Chengzhu who wasn’t. After being reborn, she

decided to stay far away from Mu Chengzhu. Naturally, she would continue to avoid him in this life too.

Not even the grass and trees in her hshould have the slightest connection to Mu Chengzhu—that would be

ideal.

Yun Shifei clenched her fists. In her previous life, most of her nightmares stemmed from liking Mu Chengzhu.

Now, her life was already better than before. As long as she maintained this new happiness, it would be enough.

She carried her luggage back to Beijing, and after unpacking everything in her dorm, she went to find Cheng Lie.

She brought along plenty of specialties from South City, since Cheng Lie was a South City native too; he would

surely miss the local delicacies.

She didn’t give Cheng Lie any prior notice—she quietly showed up at Cheng Lie’s place.

It was Saturday today, and she figured he ought to be at home.

She rang the doorbell. After a while, the door opened, and Cheng Lie stood in front of her.

His eyes landed on her, and he smiled. "You're here."

His expression didn’t seem particularly surprised, which made Yun Shifei curious. "Aren’t you surprised that |

suddenly cover?"

"lI guessed you'd arrive early."

So that’s how it was. Cheng Lie is so clever! Yun Shifei couldn't help but marvel.

She stepped inside the house. Even though Beijing was bitterly cold, Cheng Lie’s place was warm, with the

heating on—it didn’t feel chilly at all.

At home, Cheng Lie wore a dark gray sweater, which made him look gentler than usual.

However, Yun Shifei still felt that Cheng Lie’s choice of colors was too gloomy—gray, black, dark blue. They were

all somber shades. She thought to herself, perhaps she should buy him sother kinds of clothes.

She took off her coat too. Underneath was a light pink sweater, soft and smooth.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "Your place is so warm and comfortable!"

Knowing how much she disliked the cold, Cheng Lie replied, "Why don’t you stay here tonight?"

Yun Shifei thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. "Alright."

The dorm currently had only her, as her roommates wouldn't return until two days later. Since she cback

early, the dorm was lonely and even colder.

Cheng Lie hadn't expected Yun Shifei to agree so quickly. He was a bit taken aback—she really trusted him.

After drinking the hot water Cheng Lie handed her, Yun Shifei went over to check his refrigerator. It was packed

full of food, and she couldn’t help but laugh, "Do you know how to cook?"

She was surprised. Not long ago, when she opened Cheng Lie’s fridge, it had been nearly empty—nothing inside.

At most, there were sfrozen convenience foods.

But now, it was full of fresh vegetables and fruits, neatly arranged—the kind of refrigerator one would expect

from someone living a diligent life.

"| can cook a little," Cheng Lie said. Then he added, "Tonight, I'll make dinner for you."

"Okay." Yun Shifei nodded.

She was curious now—just how tasty would Cheng Lie’s cooking be?

With a sense of anticipation, Yun Shifei waited as Cheng Lie prepared the dishes.

Looking at the colorful and appetizing spread of food before her, Yun Shifei found it hard to believe this was

made by someone who had started learning to cook not long ago.

She picked up a piece of fish and tasted it. Cheng Lie had managed to preserve the fish's natural freshness while

eliminating any unpleasant odor. It was sweet and savory—absolutely delicious.

Yun Shifei realized she was good at making vegetarian dishes tasty, but when it cto meats or rich dishes,

she always felt something was missing. Cheng Lie, on the other hand, cooked meat perfectly.

Better than Aunt Zhong'’s cooking, even! Yun Shifei was deeply moved.

Before she knew it, she had finished an entire bowl of rice.

She even wanted a second bowl, but remembering her growing figure these days, she restrained herself from

actually going to get more.

Cheng Lie, meanwhile, hadn't eaten much. Instead, he spent the whole twatching Yun Shifei, as though

gauging how she enjoyed the food.

He seemed a bit nervous, worried that his cooking wouldn't taste good.

As the saying goes, it's hard to judge one’s own cooking. You can’t truly tell how delicious it is when you're the

one who made it—you’re too close to it. Cheng Lie had bought scookbooks and spent his free tstudying

them.

Seeing Yun Shifei eat with such satisfaction, Cheng Lie already gathered his answer.

"You should eat more," he said, persistently adding food to Yun Shifei’s bowl.

Yun Shifei had originally planned to put down her chopsticks, but glancing at the food in her bowl, she thought to

herself, "I shouldn't waste it, right? We must save food."

In the end, Yun Shifei only stopped eating after she was too full to continue. Cheng Lie finally started eating

himself, taking just a few bites.

Yun Shifei felt a bit resentful. Her stomach was satisfied, but she wasn’t too happy.

"| told you—I'm trying to lose weight."

"Then exercise more," Cheng Lie suggested.

Yun Shifei’s eyes widened. "Oh right, | need to exercise properly."

She had thought about it before—running a few laps around the track when she had free time, or buying a yoga

mat to practice in her dorm.

This seemed like a pretty good idea.

After dinner, Cheng Lie asked her, "How about we go for a walk outside?"

"Sure," she replied. It'd be good to walk and digest the meal.

Once they stepped outside, the cold wind hit, and Yun Shifei immediately felt her nose freeze red.

The harshness of Beijing's winter far surpassed South City—it was at least a hundred times worse!

Cheng Lie walked ahead, shielding her completely from the wind. Reaching out, he took Yun Shifei’s hand and

said, "There's a new department store that opened nearby recently. I'll take you for a stroll."

Yun Shifei gave a soft "mm" in agreement. How could she refuse?

Shopping in a mall would certainly be warmer than being out in this frigid weather.

Since the New Year had just passed, the foot traffic in the mall was much lighter. Yun Shifei admired the

modernized look of the stores.

Cheng Lie led her to a women’s clothing shop, intending to buy her sclothes.

Yun Shifei instinctively tried to

She had so many clothes, she couldn't even wear them all!

Cheng Lie smiled. "But | want to give you a piece of clothing."

A gift from him, after all, would carry a completely different meaning.

Hearing this, Yun Shifei felt he made a valid point and didn’t refuse further.

She brought over the latest items and let Yun Shifei pick through them.

Faced with so many choices, Yun Shifei felt torn and turned to Cheng Lie. "Cheng Lie, can you helppick?"

"Do you like them?" Cheng Lie asked.

Yun Shifei nodded. It was because so many of the clothes caught her eye that she couldn’t decide on just one.

Ah, only now did she realize—when it comes to shopping, a girl can never have too many clothes.

What she'd said earlier? Clearly, she was setting herself up for embarrassment.

Looking at these clothes, she wanted them all.

"Nothing stands out as a favorite?" Cheng Lie asked again.

Yun Shifei leaned closer to him and whispered softly, "They're all so nice; | can’t pick. You decide for me."

"Then there's no need to choose," Cheng Lie said.

No need to choose?

But then she heard Cheng Lie say, "We'll take all of them."
