After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 451: Really Afraid You’ll Cry Later

In the end, Yun Shifei went to the supermarket with Xu Yuejiao, choosing a gift that didn’t show a brand and was moderately priced, which she believed to be within Zhou Li’s acceptable range.

Xu Yuejiao happily took the gift to Zhou Li.

Yun Shifei also bought a pair of gloves for Cheng Lie.

She thought, Cheng Lie probably threw away what she had given before, since it’s been so long.

She went to Cheng Lie’s house to find him, and Cheng Lie, who was working at the time, heard the doorbell and went out to open the door.

Outside the door was a girl dressed in white, looking at him with a bright smile.

"Why have you come?"

He thought they had met at noon, and she would stay at school.

"My cousin asked me to accompany her shopping, and I thought the weather would soon turn cold, so I bought you a pair of gloves. Try them." Yun Shifei handed him a bag.

The gloves she bought were much more expensive than the ones Xu Yuejiao gave to Zhou Li.

But Xu Yuejiao still suspected Yun Shifei might be taking advantage of her. However, Yun Shifei didn’t dare to directly say it’s because Zhou Li’s family isn’t well off, even though she hadn’t interacted much with him, she could sense Zhou Li was someone who didn’t want others to know about his family background and wanted to change his current situation through hard work.

Her naive cousin didn’t know about Zhou Li’s thoughts, and Yun Shifei dared not say it outright, fearing it might change their relationship.

She could only remind Xu Yuejiao, as she felt Zhou Li was a simple person, and if their relationship wasn’t good, he definitely wouldn’t accept an expensive gift.

Xu Yuejiao thought for a moment and felt Yun Shifei’s words weren’t unreasonable.

But Yun Shifei thought, Cheng Lie had to use the best.

After all, Cheng Lie knew that now she was a little rich woman, this small amount of money was no big deal.

Cheng Lie took out the gloves, looking at Yun Shifei with a strange expression.

He suddenly recalled that back in high school, Yun Shifei had also given him a pair of gloves like this.

"Give it a try." The girl looked at him expectantly.

Cheng Lie tried them on in his hands, the size was just right, and the quality was much better than the ones from a few years ago.

Back then, she was still a student with not much money, yet she could get him a good pair of gloves.

Now, she had the ability to buy him something even better.

Cheng Lie placed the gloves on the table and said to Yun Shifei, "Wait for me."

Then, he walked into the room.

After a while, he came out with a pair of gloves.

Yun Shifei blinked at the familiar gloves: "You kept them all along?"

All this time, they were still there.

Cheng Lie nodded.

Yun Shifei couldn’t express what she felt inside but knew that she was being cherished by him.

Without her awareness, Cheng Lie had treasured her heartfelt gifts.

She felt warm inside, who said Cheng Lie was cold? His heart was warmer than anyone else’s.

It was because he had been in the dark for so long that he carefully preserved any goodness given to him.

Yun Shifei had never been treated so carefully by the opposite sex, and she was even touched to the point of wanting to cry.

Yet, she felt it was pretentious.

Cheng Lie sensed Yun Shifei’s emotional fluctuation, hugged her close, kissed her forehead, and said softly, "You need to get used to it."

You need to get used to it.

Get used to being cherished and loved like this.

Don’t live so cautiously and timidly as you did before.

Yun Shifei murmured in agreement, feeling a bit annoyed at herself for being so emotional: "Cheng Lie, why do you always do things that move me?"

"Does this move you? If you’re not accustomed to this kind of emotion, I fear you’ll cry in the future."

Yun Shifei: "..."

The way he said it, an outsider might think he was going to bully her.

Knowing what he meant, she still found it strange.

After giving the gift, Yun Shifei returned to school as she had class the next day.

Now that Cheng Lie was busy with work, he couldn’t accompany her to class every day like before, but he still managed to come twice a week.

Everyone around knew about Yun Shifei and Cheng Lie being together, both boys and girls had their hearts broken, yet they were such a perfect match that no one considered them incompatible.

No, it should be said they were a super match, that if they stayed together, it would be a legendary tale.

So they didn’t want to get involved.

As time passed, Yun Shifei’s website became livelier.

Initially, she helped others upload their goods, but now she had created a process map and shared it with others so they could manage on their own.

Yun Shifei realized that balancing studies and work was exhausting, and since she had no time to find someone to help, she entrusted Cheng Lie to oversee it.

Naturally, Cheng Lie asked his subordinates to help manage the website.

This led to difficulties for Shen Weiwu.

Being a hacker with technical expertise, he found managing such a simple website for a small profit unfitting to his style. The colorful pages didn’t match his taste.

But since it was Cheng Lie’s request, he could only comply.

After some time, Elder Meng invited Cheng Lie and Yun Shifei to the Meng Family for dinner.

After the incident with Xia Yuezhen, Cheng Lie hadn’t gone to the Meng Family.

And the Meng Family, possibly out of guilt, hadn’t dared to reach out to Cheng Lie.

Until now, Elder Meng re-established the family values and invited Cheng Lie and Yun Shifei for a meal together.

Inviting Yun Shifei was mainly because with her presence, Cheng Lie seemed less cold, and they could have a conversation.

Yun Shifei naturally didn’t make the decision, asking Cheng Lie if he wanted to go.

Cheng Lie asked Yun Shifei back, "Do you want to go?"

Yun Shifei thought of Old Mrs. Meng and realized apart from her, Cheng Lie didn’t have someone closer. If Elder Meng and the family truly treated Cheng Lie as their own grandson, they would be kind to him.

Because she felt Old Mrs. Meng resembled her grandmother a bit.

Her grandmother loved her dearly, and she believed Old Mrs. Meng would love Cheng Lie too.

Seeing Yun Shifei wanted to go, Cheng Lie simply set up a weekend to go to the Meng Family for dinner.

On that weekend, Cheng Lie went to the school to pick up Yun Shifei to go to the Meng Family.

From afar, he saw Yun Shifei wearing a red-brown checkered dress, her hair draped over her shoulders, looking vibrant and lively, almost surreal in the sunset glow.

As he got closer, Yun Shifei smiled at him.

That surreal feeling gradually dissipated.

"Xiao Lie, I’m here."

Cheng Lie made a sound of acknowledgment and, after she got in the car, reached out to rub her cheek.
