After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Still Friends After Breaking Up

Yu Liantao not only pulled Yun Shifei down to sit, but even pushed Yun Shifei to sit next to Cheng Lie.

Just as Yun Shifei was about to refuse, she heard Yu Liantao whisper, "Didn't you say you two broke up

peacefully? Didn't you say you two are still friends? What's wrong with attending class together?"

Yun Shifei finally understood what it meant to lift a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot.

That day, after listening to Cheng Lie’s speech, Yu Liantao and the others returned to the dormitory and treated

Yun Shifei like a heartless person. They scolded her for breaking up with such a great guy—look at how pitiful he

seemed on stage when talking about their past relationship.

They thought back to how Cheng Lie used to send Yun Shifei gifts so eagerly, and they increasingly felt Yun Shifei

was nothing but a heartbreaker.

He was originally supposed to be the most dazzling genius, yet in the face of love, he becunbelievably

humble.

The group began to gang up on Yun Shifei.

At that time, Yun Shifei couldn't take it anymore and wanted to avoid trouble.

So, she told them that even though she and Cheng Lie had broken up, Cheng Lie understood her, and that they

were still friends.

Her roommates felt slightly more accepting upon hearing her explanation.

When Yun Shifei said these words, she didn’t plan on keeping up the facade, thinking they'd never meet Cheng

Lie again.

Who could have guessed that Cheng Lie would end up attending the sclass as them!

Yun Shifei had a vague feeling that he was here for her!

The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.

And now, she had no choice but to attend class with Cheng Lie. Well, it’s only two class sessions; they'll be

heading to the lab afterward.

She'll endure it and get through.

Sitting beside Cheng Lie, Yun Shifei saw him quietly flipping through a book.

He wore a clean white shirt, and sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden hue on his black hair.

Even his profile was bathed in light, his features blurred, making him look far from ordinary.

In that instant, Yun Shifei felt as if she had returned to their high school days, back when they were desk mates.

Cheng Lie had always read like this back then—quietly, coldly, as if the happenings of the outside world had no

connection to him at all.

But, after all, those were times now gone.

The present Cheng Lie was no longer that well-behaved child whom no one cared about. He had grown strong,

standing out wherever he went, drawing the attention of many.

Thinking about this, Yun Shifei couldn't help but feel a little bitterness in her heart.

Yun Shifei resisted the urge to take out a few pieces of candy from her pocket to give him, withdrawing her gaze

and spreading her textbook open on the desk.

Yet sitting next to Cheng Lie in class was bound to make Yun Shifei’s thoughts drift repeatedly.

The man beside her had an overwhelming presence, making it impossible for her not to notice him from tto

time.

Not only was she paying attention, but she also noticed the gazes coming from all directions, though they were

all glared back at by Yu Liantao, Fu Qingging, and Tang Xiao.

"What are you looking at?" They were silently hoping Yun Shifei and Cheng Lie would reconcile.

After all, back then, Cheng Lie had brought them snacks. If the two got back together, he might keep buying

them food. Maybe even when they needed new phones someday, he’d get them at internal prices.

After two class sessions, Yun Shifei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Good, they were changing classrooms, and

she was determined to sit far away.

Though they had sat next to each other, the two hadn't exchanged a single word throughout the class.

It was only when Yun Shifei hastily packed up her things and left, as if liberated, that she heard Cheng Lie’s

playful question, "Are you that scared of me?"

Yun Shifei turned her head and accidentally locked eyes with his dark gaze.

Those eyes were like a bottomless abyss, hard to fathom, and staring into them felt as though she might fall in.

"Not scared of you. It's just that we broke up, and isn’t it normal to keep sdistance?" Yun Shifei responded

coolly, attempting to sound indifferent.

Beside her, Yu Liantao overheard this and cried out tically, "Shifei, what do you mean by that? Didn't you

say you're still friends after the breakup? What's this? Now you're keeping your distance?"

They were hoping for Yun Shifei and Cheng Lie to get back together! If that happened, they'd all benefit from it.

Yun Shifei had no idea her roommates were scheming to sell her out. Being called out by Yu Liantao like that, she

felt utterly mortified.

After a long pause, she explained, "Yes, but since we were once a couple, keeping sdistance is better, isn’t

it?"

That sounded reasonable enough.

Yun Shifei didn’t dare to look at Cheng Lie and tugged her roommates away.

Cheng Lie calmly continued tidying up his books. He knew he wouldn't be able to accompany her to the next

class.

Soon he had pressing matters to attend to.

Thinking back to Yun Shifei’s earlier words, he couldn't help but sigh. Ninety-one days—neither too long nor too

short—they had been apart for so long.

He had slowly managed to establish himself in Beijing, achieving ssuccess, no longer bound by others like

before.

The things he had asked Zhao Pan to investigate were beginning to reveal sclues as well.

Before Yun Shifei broke up with him, she had met Mu Chengzhu several times.

After the breakup, when Mu Chengzhu left Beijing, he had also seen Yun Shifei.

Mu Chengzhu.

In the past, Cheng Lie had never taken him seriously.
