After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Will Hide My Love Well Yun Shifei heard that Cheng Guomin was going to take Cheng Lie abroad, and a strange mix of emotions brewed in her heart while her eyes stung slightly.

So, this day has finally come.

Soon, Cheng Lie will be separated from her.

Yun Shifei didn't really want to see Cheng Lie anymore. She wasn't sure what she felt-perhaps, like a hedgehog, she wanted to bury herself away. If she didn't see him, maybe she could pretend none of this was happening. Cheng Lie quietly accepted the news when he learned Cheng Guomin was taking him abroad for medical treatment.

But secretly, he sent out a text message to greet someone.

Cheng Guomin had already figured out which country to take him to and which doctor to consult. This was the perfect chance for him to avoid going back to the Cheng Family.

Evidence of Cheng Guomin's bribery was nearly fully collected, and Zhao Haishuang, whose face was ruined, was about to lose the person most dear to her. As for Cheng Guomin, his prison sentence was inevitable, and his assets would soon be seized.

These were the things that were about to happen.

Thinking about it, Cheng Lie felt an intense surge of excitement boiling in his heart.

He witnessed their rise, and now, he'd witness their fall.

From the first day he was brought into this house, he swore to make them regret ever placing him in their midst. Now, after so many years, he had finally succeeded.

He knew he wasn't a good person, but that was fine. Since the day of his birth, it was destined that he couldn't be a good person. Being a demon suited him better.

Cheng Lie slowly packed his luggage, and when Cheng Guomin saw that he could handle it himself, he left him to it.

Cheng Guomin also needed to pack his own things. Previously, Zhao Haishuang always helped him pack, but now Zhao Haishuang was staying in the hospital with Cheng Huai. Even Cheng Guomin found packing troublesome, let alone helping Cheng Lie with his.

Cheng Lie realized he had been living here for over a decade, yet it seemed there wasn't much to pack.

He shoved a pair of gloves, a scarf, and a coat into his suitcase.

These were all gifts from Yun Shifei.

Opening the drawer, he found a box of candies-inside were sweets Yun Shifei had previously given him, packed full.

Cheng Lie added them to his suitcase.

Then there were the drawings.

One by one, they depicted countless scenes of her. Cheng Lie bundled them up and packed them as well.

What else? Right-there was the notebook she had lent him once, which Cheng Huai had thrown in the trash but he had recovered.

He added that to his suitcase too.

And the photos taken during their trips together-the girl in the photos wasn't as stunning as she was now, appearing ordinary, but her radiant smile was beautiful.

Cheng Lie packed all of it into his suitcase.

Once he left, it would be hard to return.

Yet, as he prepared to leave, Yun Shifei didn't cto see him. Did she not know he was leaving? Cheng Lie decided to visit Yun Shifei himself.

Yun Shifei hadn't expected Cheng Lie to seek her out. She was a little surprised and a little happy.

When she stepped out, she saw him standing at the door-clad in a long woolen coat over a white turtleneck sweater. His outfit made him look particularly clean and handsome.

Yun Shifei felt he might have grown taller again; boys this age truly were in their growing years.

"Cheng Lie..." Yun Shifei called his name, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

He was leaving, and she felt deeply uneasy, but she should wish him well.

Once he left, he would transform into an entirely new person. From that point onward, he wouldn't have to suffer anymore. He would crush those who bullied him beneath his feet.

She should be happy for his transformation.

But still, they would never return to what they once were.

The secret feelings of a young girl-before she could express them—were destined to perish in her heart. Such was a sorrowful thing.

Cheng Lie quietly looked at Yun Shifei for a while before saying, "Shi Fei, I'm going abroad for treatment." Yun Shifei nodded.

She thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and asked him, "Do you have a gift for me?" If he was leaving, and the two of them might never see each other again, shouldn't Cheng Lie at least give her something as a keepsake? The drawings from before were one thing, but she had given him so many things-surely he should give her something too.

Cheng Lie stared at Yun Shifei. He could sense her emotions.

For sreason, she seemed deeply troubled at this moment. She knew he was going abroad for treatment, but why did she act as though they might never meet again? This strange idea flashed in Cheng Lie's mind, but he didn't take it seriously.

Unless he died, how could it be possible for them never to meet again? It's just that this time, he might be gone for a while.

So, he had indeed prepared a gift for her.

Yun Shifei stared at the rabbit pendant in her hand-a pink rabbit with its tongue playfully sticking out, looking rather cute.

Yun Shifei blinked at Cheng Lie, surprised that he had given her something like this.

Cheng Lie glanced at the rabbit and then at Yun Shifei, feeling assured about his choice of gift. She She was just like the little bunny-adorable and endearing. Still, he had only bought the pendant casually from a roadside stand on his way here. Its quality was likely unimpressive.

The two stood quietly for a while, saying nothing.

Not far away, Cheng Guomin was already calling for Cheng Lie.

No one knew why they stood there silently, seemingly unwilling to leave.

Cheng Lie glanced at Yun Shifei öm again. He noticed how her soft jet-black hair gleamed with a golden hue under the sunlight, her brows and eyes gentle and shining-a vision of youthful charm. Unable to resist, he reached out and stroked Yun Shifei's hair. "Wait for me." When he returned, perhaps then they could truly be together.

Even if Yun Shifei didn't feel much for him, he had the means to keep her by his side. What was there to fear, that she might run? Yun Shifei had no idea what Cheng Lie was thinking as she nodded.

"Cheng Lie, take good care. Don't forget me," she said, pausing before adding with a bright smile.

She wanted to engrave the image of Cheng Lie as he was now into her om memory because in the future, even if Cheng Lie stood before her again, he would never be this sweet, innocent boy. Hmm... Actually, she kind of wished for a hug from Cheng Lie, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

To her surprise, the next moment, she was swept into his arms.

The boy's arms were strong and firm, holding her tightly against him.

Yun Shifei: "!!!" However, he soon released her and walked toward Cheng Guomin's car.

As Yun Shifei watched Cheng Lie leave, her previously heavy mood lifted entirely.

She thought, Cheng Lie was hardly likely to forget her, especially after that unprompted hug.

Thinking about the embrace, Yun Shifei's face reddened slightly.

She hoped he would recover well and beca true powerhouse, while she would quietly store away her love and watch him shine from afar, content in just that.
