After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Do You Like Me? Mu Jiayu felt extremely wronged.

"Brother, why are you always yelling atbecause of her? Do you like her?!" It was always like this. Clearly, Mu Chengzhu was never like this before.

It must be that country bumpkin. Because she's pretty, she's here to seduce her brother.

When her brother liked Sisi before, he never spoke to her like this.

Now, because of Yun Shifei, their sibling relationship had deteriorated so much.

Mu Chengzhu was snapped back to reality by Mu Jiayu's questioning.

It seemed true-he always scolded Mu Jiayu because of Yun Shifei.

Once, twice, and gradually it beca habit.

But Mu Chengzhu didn't want to admit it: "I just think you shouldn't talk like that." "You *do* like her! You even lent her your notes but wouldn't let your own sister see them! I'm also preparing for the college entrance exam, but look how biased you are!" Thinking about everything that had happened before, Mu Jiayu felt more and more aggrieved.

Before, she'd thought her brother was quite good. Now she increasingly wondered why she even had a brother like him.

Just because Yun Shifei is pretty, he likes her? So shallow, so shallow! Mu Chengzhu didn't say anything. He thought about Yun Shifei going to find Cheng Lie.

Their relationship was so good-was it perhaps because they had bonded when they were at their lowest points? Back then, they had both been outcasts, drawn to each other for warmth and comfort.

And back then, he had been one of the ones who ostracized her.

Now, with so many people liking her, she probably wouldn't even miss him, right? Thinking of this, Mu Chengzhu sighed softly, but he was the kind of person who didn't want to admit defeat easily, especially not to Cheng Lie.

Recalling why Yun Shifei had gone to Cheng Lie, Mu Chengzhu could roughly guess. Cheng Huai was sick, and as an illegitimate son of the Cheng Family, Cheng Lie's situation couldn't be much better-or worse.

She must be concerned about him.

Mu Chengzhu couldn't help but think, since she cared so much about Cheng Lie now, maybe getting closer to him by showing concern for Cheng Lie together wouldn't be such a bad idea.

So, that evening, Mu Chengzhu used the excuse of delivering something to the Yun Family to go see Yun Shifei.

Yun Shifei was somewhat at a loss.

"We don't lack food in our house." Why did Mu Chengzhu keep bringing her food every few days? Did he think she was a pig? There was no way she could eat all this.

The boy in front of her, however, smiled slightly, elegant and refined: "My mom toldto bring it; I can't refuse. You can take your teating it." Yun Shifei accepted it and thanked him.

"Can I play with Baby for a while?" Yun Shifei: "....." So she bought the puppy not to help Cheng Lie heal, but for Mu Chengzhu to play with? "If you like dogs so much and now have free time, why don't you get one yourself?" "I was just thinking about that. Shifei, how about you givesadvice on what kind of dog to get?" Yun Shifei: "....." Seeing Mu Chengzhu's earnest expression, Yun Shifei felt helpless. Was Mu Chengzhu addicted to talking to her now? She furrowed her brows and thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly brightened. "I've heard huskies are really fun. Why don't you get one of those?" "A husky? What kind of dog is that?" In this era, most people kept small dogs. The type Old Mrs. Xu kept, like Shih Tzus, were the most common. It wasn't like the modern era, where there were all sorts of exotic pets.

"Go ask at a pet store. They're super cute!" Yun Shifei smiled at Mu Chengzhu but didn't add the part about how they were also infamous for demolishing houses.

Mu Chengzhu was momentarily dazzled by Yun Shifei's smile. When she smiled, her brows and eyes curved like crescent moons, with starlight hidden within. She was breathtakingly beautiful.

It seemed like this was the first tin so long that she had genuinely smiled at him. Mu Chengzhu felt like his heart was about to leap out of his chest.

He nodded. "Alright." Yun Shifei prepared to see him out, but Mu Chengzhu didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. Instead, he asked, "By the way, I heard that Cheng Huai has leukemia. What about Cheng Lie? Is he being bullied at home?" Hearing him mention Cheng Lie, Yun Shifei's mood soured again.

Indeed, she had been wondering the sthing-what about Cheng Lie? Actually, there was no need for her to worry. The big boss would recover his health soon and then leave the Cheng Family.

But for now, this must be the hardest time. When she saw Cheng Lie today, he had said he was fine. But that silly boy probably wouldn't even recognize bullying, so how could he possibly be fine? Yun Shifei's heart ached terribly for Cheng Lie.

Mu Chengzhu shared the sthoughts as her, which made Yun Shifei look at him differently: "I don't know either." "Cheng Lie is Uncle Cheng's illegitimate son. At a tlike this, with Aunt Cheng feeling so agitated, it's unlikely she wouldn't..." Yes, Mu Chengzhu had practically articulated everything she was thinking.

"How about this? School starts in just a few days anyway. For now, we could take Cheng Lie out every day to reduce his tat home. If Aunt Cheng doesn't see him, maybe she won't be so upset." Mu Chengzhu naturally closed the distance between them, turning it into "we." He just wanted Yun Shifei to unknowingly accept him.

Yun Shifei thought about it. Mu Chengzhu's idea made a lot of sense. But! Why did it have to be the two of them? Was she that close to Mu Chengzhu?!

In that instant, Yun Shifei becvigilant. She stared at Mu Chengzhu and said, "Thank you for caring about cheng Lie, but we're not close enough to plan solutions together." Seeing Yun Shifei's sudden wariness, Mu Chengzhu couldn't help but marvel at how smart she was. He had thought he could easily steer her into his plans.

After all, he was the only one who shared her concerns about this matter. But she had caught on quickly. With her words, she had drawn a clear line between herself and Cheng Lie on one side, and himself as an outsider on the other.

Finally, Mu Chengzhu couldn't help but ask the question weighing on his heart: "Do you like Cheng Lie?" Hearing his words, Yun Shifei froze. After a long moment, she replied, "Don't talk nonsense." She thought she had covered it up well, but her slight panic betrayed her.

"Why would you..." He was truly shocked.

Cheng Lie was just a good-looking guy with autism who couldn't communicate normally. Was that enough for Yun Shifei to like him? Yun Shifei didn't want to continue this topic with Mu Chengzhu. She said, "Whether I like him or not has nothing to do with you." But you used to like me.

Mu Chengzhu pressed his lips together, feeling extraordinarily unwilling.

How could he describe this feeling? It was like someone had placed a m treasure before himxand he hadn't even bothered to look. Now that it was gone, he realized it was the one thing he had wanted most. Yun Shifei wanted to send him off, but Mu Chengzhu still stood there, unmoving.

Seeing his dazed, defeated expression, Yun Shifei couldn't help but ask, "So do you likethen?"

She had always sensed that Mu Chengzhu seemed to have feeling's for her, but since she didn't like him, she pretended not to notice. Because acknowledging it would make things even more complicated.

But now, she couldn't resist breaking the pretense.
