After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 328: Chapter 328: A Guilty Conscience Needs No Accuser

As spring arrived, the weather gradually warmed, and the previously bare branches were now adorned with fresh

green leaves.

The once lifeless campus was now brimming with the vitality of spring.

Professor Chen handed her an invitation, saying there was an international inteconference being held in

Beijing. He wanted her to attend with him to listen to experts discuss and absorb new knowledge. After all, the

inteevolves rapidly, and staying ahead is crucial.

It seemed that Professor Chen already regarded her as his successor, eager to impart everything he knew.

Now, even the students in the computer science department were aware of Yun Shifei’s brilliance. Their feelings

fluctuated between envy and admiration.

She was both beautiful and intelligent—who wouldn’t admire her?

However, Yun Shifei continued to diligently pursue her studies, remaining humble and composed. She knew she

had a long way to go and felt determined to seize the opportunities university provided to achieve her own

aspirations.

On the day of the conference, Yun Shifei dressed in a tasteful skirt and layered it with a wool coat before heading

out,

Fu Qingging, seeing how stunning Yun Shifei looked, couldn’t help but take out her phone. "Shi Fei, you look

amazing! Is this the first tyou're dressed so formally? Lettake a photo of you!"

Normally, Yun Shifei preferred wearing overcoats—her student-like demeanor was palpable, with a radiant and

attractive face.

But now, Yun Shifei, dressed in a blouse and short skirt under a wool coat, exuded a faint elegance akin to that of

professional women in the corporate world.

She appeared more mature and composed, with hints of a poised and refined aura in her demeanor.

Yun Shifei smiled and let Fu Qingging snap a photo.

"So beautiful! I'm keeping this as a memento." Fu Qingging studied her phone closely.

This was currently the latest model on the market, also the first phone with a camera function. It was from the

RX brand—a Qin Family enterprise.

The phone was the top-selling model on the market now.

After all, it combined phone calls and photography into one device—a fantastic dual-purpose solution.

Yet, due to the prevailing technology of the time, its photo resolution was vastly inferior to what would be

available just a few years later.

Seeing this particular phone, Yun Shifei immediately knew that Cheng Lie’s recent design had succeeded.

This phone was precisely his creation.

She had even purchased this model as a gift for Yun Tiancheng, and for Xu Yuejiao as well.

At the time, Xu Yuejiao’s expression looked as though she'd seen a ghost.

"This phone costs a thousand yuan! You bought one just like that? And you're giving it to me? Feifei, are you

alright? Do you wantto repay you by being your servant for life?"

Xu Yuejiao’s incredulous reaction back then left Yun Shifei laughing until her stomach hurt.

Only after repeatedly assuring her that there were no strings attached and it was simply a gift did Xu Yuejiao

accept it.

Even so, Yun Shifei thought phones during this twere exorbitantly expensive. Buying just two phones had

used up a significant portion of her savings.

However, knowing this supported Cheng Lie, she felt it was worth it.

Much like being an avid fan—she would buy anything endorsed by her favorite artist, no matter how tight her

budget was. Besides, she wasn’t poor now.

By setting aside part of her living expenses, she could soon make up for the expenditure.

The international inteconference was held in a conference center located in the city center.

Yun Shifei and Professor Chen shared a ride there. Upon arriving at the venue, they handed their invitations to

the reception staff at the entrance, signed their names, and prepared to take their seats.

Professor Chen encountered many acquaintances at the venue and brought Yun Shifei along to greet them.

These included not only various professors but also leaders from computing research institutes and laboratories.

Professor Chen soon becengrossed in conversation with others and instructed Yun Shifei to find a place to

sit.

Yun Shifei picked a seat in the middle, reserving one for Professor Chen beside her, and began reviewing the

event's itinerary.

The conference mainly featured presentations from foreign experts and intecompanies showcasing their

products and experiences, while attendees like her were there primarily to learn and absorb.

Much of the content was new knowledge at this time, but by the tshe died in her previous life, many of these

ideas were already obsolete.

Nonetheless, every era follows its own trajectory of growth. She couldn't bypass the present stage of

development to leap directly into the future.

After sitting for a while, the seats around her began filling up as attendees arrived. Yun Shifei remained focused

on the conference schedule.

Until a familiar voice broke through behind her.

"You didn’t really need to cto a conference like this. Don’t you dislike crowded spaces?" It was Wen Lin's

voice.

Her tone was especially gentle, yet carried her inherently candid nature, blending into an inexplicable warmth.

It seemed as though she shared an uncommon familiarity with the person beside her.

"Just felt like checking it out," another male voice responded.

This voice immediately made Yun Shifei sit up straighter. Even though she hadn't heard it in so long, she

instantly recognized it.

It was Cheng Lie—the boy who appeared cold and aloof on the outside but was incredibly warm-hearted within.

She hadn’t seen him for a while and wondered how he had been.

Yet Yun Shifei absolutely lacked the courage to turn around and look at Cheng Lie.

She felt an inexplicable guilt, preferring to pretend not to notice. Since they were seated behind her, she

guessed they hadn’t recognized her either.

At that moment, Professor Chen returned and took his seat beside her, smiling. "Sorry, Shi Fei, for leaving you

alone."

"It’s all right, Professor." Yun Shifei replied awkwardly.

She just hoped the people behind her hadn’t noticed her presence.

Fortunately, the design of the conference hall featured something of a high-tech ambiance. The audience seating

was mostly dark, illuminated only by the soft glow of blue lighting.

Not long after, the conference officially began.

Yun Shifei focused entirely on the

She couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Had he been hurt?

Her greatest fear was that he might think she was just another cruel person, like his father—a person who

treated him heartlessly.

Having grown up surrounded by darkness, she'd brought warmth into his life only to take it away again.

Would he feel devastated?

Yun Shifei wasn’t sure. If he did, the thought made her feel even worse.

Besides, Wen Lin seemed so close to him now—it was clear she liked him.

Maybe, in the end, they really would end up together...

Throughout the conference, Yun Shifei’s thoughts kept drifting until the event finally concluded.

After it ended and the crowd dispersed, Yun Shifei deliberately lingered, hoping most people would leave before

she did.

She didn’t want to run into Cheng Lie. She felt like a guilty person fleeing from her conscience—unable to face

him.

Though she knew her actions were meant for his sake, she couldn’t shake the guilt of being the one who said

hurtful words.

She waited for a while longer, then stood up and walked out. She glanced back towards where he'd been, but the

seats behind her were already empty.

She felt a sense of relief but also an odd pang of disappointment.

This complicated emotion nearly made Yun Shifei laugh at herself.

Yun Shifei let out a long sigh internally.

At that moment, she felt even more despondent—she hadn't really paid attention at all.
