Chapter 141 of "After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King" starts with dramatic events: Mm... She stumbled back two steps in a fluster, but due to losing her balance, she... Discover what happens!

Mm... She stumbled back two steps in a fluster, but due to losing her balance, she staggered slightly. Cheng Lie reached out and grabbed her arm to prevent her from falling. With the momentum, Yun Shifei’s head brushed against Cheng Lie’s chest. Now the two were even closer, and Yun Shifei caught the cool and clear scent on Cheng Lie. Actually, this wasn’t the first time they’d been this close. Like the last time they went to the haunted house together, she practically hung onto Cheng Lie. However, the situation then was very different from now. At that time, she was scared to death and had no bandwidth to think of anything else. But now, Yun Shifei could clearly sense how very close they were. Her face flushed, her heartbeat raced, and she hurriedly broke free from Cheng Lie’s hand, moving toward the desk. Heavens, her mind was a mess at the moment—a feeling she’d never experienced before. Even in her past life, when she liked Mu Chengzhu, it didn’t feel like this. Cheng Lie didn’t say anything, simply standing there quietly watching Yun Shifei, sensing her nervousness. Was she nervous from being so close just now? For some reason, Cheng Lie felt inexplicably pleased. It was proof that she wasn’t entirely indifferent to him. After a good while, Yun Shifei calmed her emotions, turned to Cheng Lie, placed a pair of gloves on the desk, and returned to the matter at hand. Her bright, glimmering eyes fixed on Cheng Lie: "Don’t worry, if they’re not good to you, I’ll be good to you. In the future, tell me what you want, and I’ll try my best to get it for you." Though her pocket money wasn’t much, she’d been saving diligently every month and now had a small stash. It was the first time a girl had ever said such words to him. Was this considered being "kept"? Cheng Lie found it amusing and thought Yun Shifei was quite adorable. This world still had girls as simple and endearing as her. Out of nowhere, she had come to help him, but he couldn’t understand what she was thinking. "I don’t need that," he told Yun Shifei, pausing briefly before adding, "I can take care of myself." Yun Shifei stared blankly at Cheng Lie, seeming uncertain about how he could take care of himself. From her perspective, Cheng Lie was still just a child, and with autism, surrounded by wolves, how could he possibly manage on his own? Yun Shifei didn’t take his words to heart. She stuffed the gloves back into Cheng Lie’s coat pocket. After thinking for a moment, she felt somewhat dejected. She honestly didn’t know what else she could do because, as an outsider, she couldn’t meddle in Cheng Lie’s affairs. All she could do was try her best to make him feel relaxed and happy when they were together. But once he returned home, he probably wouldn’t feel relaxed. Even though life was hard right now, Yun Shifei couldn’t help but think about the future—that high school junior year when Cheng Lie’s condition would improve and he’d become extraordinarily smart. In the years to come, he’d surely be a remarkable person. There were only two years left. To be exact, less than two years—by the second semester of junior year, Cheng Lie would leave the Cheng Family. He didn’t even take the college entrance exam. She told Cheng Lie, "Life is tough right now, but we’ll definitely get through it. Just like I did. Let’s keep going and cheer up." She, too, had been troubled by Yun Sisi and saddened by Xu Ya’s injustices. But now, those concerns were long gone. In this world, there’s no obstacle that can’t be overcome. As long as you endure, you’ll make it through. Locking eyes with the bright gaze of the young girl, Cheng Lie couldn’t resist reaching out to tousle her hair. Yun Shifei stared at him, frozen. Her expression once again made Cheng Lie want to laugh. So obedient. Yun Shifei was really baffled. Could she say that she usually saw Cheng Lie as just a kid, so every time he did something like pat her head, she felt awkward? Just like earlier when she almost fell and he grabbed her arm to steady her. In that moment, Cheng Lie’s boyfriend-like demeanor had totally exploded. That feeling was something she especially, especially wasn’t used to. Ahem... She was genuinely afraid she might fall for him. She liked this Cheng Lie—so obedient, so warm. But she knew the Cheng Lie of the future wouldn’t be like this. She absolutely wasn’t good enough for him. With that thought, Yun Shifei took two steps back and said to Cheng Lie, "I’m heading back now. See you at school tomorrow." Her lips curved in a faint smile, but Cheng Lie’s original ease was replaced by cold detachment. He could sense her distance. Just like the last time he touched her head, she seemed to be intentionally trying to keep her distance from him. She didn’t like him? If she didn’t, she wouldn’t always help him. Then why? Was this the kind of liking that wasn’t the kind he wanted? After Yun Shifei left, Cheng Lie remained standing in his original spot for a long time. The young man lowered his gaze, his pale complexion now tinged with even more coldness. Countless thoughts crossed his mind. Some were good, some were bad. All sorts, like a carousel spinning round and round. Sometimes bright, sometimes dark. He reached into his coat and took out the gloves Yun Shifei had tucked into his pocket. Looking at the pair of decent-quality gloves, he slipped his hands into them. Inside, the soft, furry lining quickly warmed his chilly hands. He stared quietly at the gloves. If she didn’t like him, why bother to provoke him? And having done so, how could she just walk away? He wouldn’t allow it. Over these years, it had been so hard for someone to enter his world. He wouldn’t allow her to flee like this. That night, a cold front swept through South City, bringing rain and making the weather even chillier. Early the next morning, Yun Shifei almost couldn’t get herself out of bed. The alarm clock rang incessantly beside her, its clamor giving her a headache. Only then did she reluctantly crawl out of bed. At the same time, there was the sound of Yun Tiancheng knocking on her door: "Shifei, sleeping in today? Don’t be late." "Got it, Dad." Yun Shifei threw off the blanket, quickly changed clothes, freshened up, and went downstairs for breakfast. Aunt Zhong had made century egg and pork congee, steamed a plate of buns, and warmed some milk. Yun Shifei ate a bit of everything before putting on her backpack to head out. But Yun Tiancheng walked in from outside, rubbed his hands together, glanced twice at Yun Shifei, and couldn’t help but frown: "It’s so cold outside, and you’re dressed so lightly—you’ll catch a cold." Yun Shifei was surprised. She’d thought Yun Tiancheng was going to work, but by the looks of it, he had gone outside to feel the temperature. Normally, when the weather turned sharply colder, there was a difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures. Thus, Yun Shifei obediently listened to Yun Tiancheng and added a padded jacket over her school uniform. She even put on a knit hat and scarf. From top to bottom, she was wrapped tightly, looking like a little doll. Yun Tiancheng was finally satisfied. He pulled her zipper up higher. "Shifei, Dad used to be busy with work and didn’t really take care of you. It’s been tough on you to look after yourself, but don’t catch a cold." Yun Tiancheng then had Aunt Zhong prepare a thermos of hot water for Yun Shifei to take to school. Although the school had a public water dispenser, in this cold weather, staying put in the classroom was far more convenient.
