Reborn: Married to the Demon King

Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Injured

Two days later, snow began to fall in Beijing. Feathery flakes danced in the air, and soon, the whole world was

painted white.

Yun Shifei had never seen such a heavy snowfall. In South City, it rarely snowed, let alone such a thick blanket of

snow.

Like most children from the South, she was mesmerized by the sight of such a scene.

Her other dormmates, all Northerners, found it rather ordinary.

They were only mildly annoyed by the inconvenience the snow created when going out. But Yun Shifei, on the

other hand, had already begun gathering snow in her hands to play with.

"On a day like this, wouldn't it be great to build a snowman?"

Hearing Yun Shifei’s suggestion, her dormmates laughed, but they agreed it might be fun: "How about we do

that? We don’t have many classes today. Let's go downstairs and build one after we're done."

Thrilled, Yun Shifei hurried back to her dorm with her friends after class, and together, they built a snowman

nearly as tall as half a person.

They gave the snowman eyes, a nose, and even a scarf. It turned out to look quite lifelike.

Yun Shifei thought to herself how nice it would be if she had a camera. She could capture it and send the photo

to Yun Tiancheng.

As the thought crossed her mind, a pang of longing for hstruck her. She missed Yun Tiancheng, missed her

little treasure, and even missed Sun Xiaogi dearly.

However, with the holidays approaching, the thought cheered Yun Shifei up again.

That evening, Yun Shifei attended a gathering for their club.

"Shi Fei, how about we go out for soutdoor sketching in a while?" their art club president, Xiang Wenwen,

asked Yun Shifei.

She was the most beautiful girl in the club, effortlessly eye-catching no matter where she stood.

Yun Shifei nodded, "Sure."

Upon hearing Yun Shifei agree, the others were thrilled as well.

The art club was quite niche, with only a handful of members. Outings like these were rare.

With Yun Shifei’s agreement, even the less enthusiastic members decided to join in.

The group planned to visit a historic town in the outskirts of Beijing, a former Royal Garden that had since been

developed with stourist attractions. It was said to be vast, luxurious, and stunningly beautiful.

Yun Shifei had never been there before, although she had intended to visit someday. To her surprise, the

opportunity had now calong.

Yun Shifei also received a gift from Cheng Lie.

It was a rectangular transparent glass box, inside which was a tiny snowman.

Snowflakes seemed to swirl inside as well.

Cheng Lie explained to her that to prevent the snowman from melting, the box needed to be charged, as it had a

built-in power storage function. Charging it for two hours would keep the snowman intact for a whole day.

The snowman inside turned out to be made of real snow.

Yun Shifei was puzzled as she touched the cold glass box. The chill wasn’t unbearable; it was within a range she

could tolerate.

This was probably the most impractical gift Cheng Lie had ever given her.

She wanted to reject it, but Cheng Lie’s expression made it impossible to refuse. Besides, she actually liked the

gift. After all, which girl doesn’t love beautiful things?

She suddenly thought of the heating pad Cheng Lie had given her last tand couldn't help but ask, "By the

way, the heating pad you gavebefore, where did you buy it? My dormmates want one too."

Cheng Lie replied, "I made that myself."

Yun Shifei’s eyes widened in amazement. "You made it yourself?"

"Yes."

How impressive!

She had thought as much—such a design couldn’t possibly be something available on the market.

For Cheng Lie to craft something like that... Was he self-taught? His creativity and skill were truly remarkable.

Yun Shifei turned her attention back to the tiny snowman and asked, "Did you make this too?"

Cheng Lie gave a soft hum of confirmation.

In that moment, the gift suddenly felt incredibly precious to her.

No wonder it looked so exquisite—Cheng Lie truly had a pair of talented hands.

Her gaze involuntarily fell on Cheng Lie’s hands.

Then, she noticed that he was wearing gloves. Was he really that afraid of the cold?

The gloves looked familiar... They seemed to be the ones she had bought for him before.

He seemed to have taken great care of them; they still looked as good as new.

For sreason, Yun Shifei’s heart softened uncontrollably.

"You don’t need to go to such trouble to make these things forin the future," Yun Shifei said softly.

If this continued, it would be harder and harder for her not to forgive Cheng Lie.

He was so thoughtful. Yet, when she thought of how he had deceived her, Yun Shifei felt torn again.

She hated being lied to more than anything, especially by someone she liked so much.

It was as if she was reliving what had happened in her past life all over again.

With the gift in hand, Yun Shifei turned to leave, while Cheng Lie remained standing quietly in place. He thought

to himself that Yun Shifei must have liked this gift.

She had smiled. Thinking back to her smile, though faint, her eyes had sparkled with light. She hadn't even tried

very hard to refuse him.

It had been worth the effort he put in, spending days coming up with the idea and even cutting his hand on glass

in the process.

At that moment, Cheng Lie’s phone rang.

"Mr. Cheng, are you sure you don’t want to see a doctor? If the wound on your palm gets infected, what then?"

"I've already taken care of it." Such small injuries didn’t concern him.

But Zhao Pan was deeply worried. Why was this kid so stubborn?

That had only happened earlier today.

This made Zhao Pan feel a pang of disappointment. But before he could say anything, he saw Cheng Lie’s hand

get sliced by a shard of glass, and fresh blood spilled onto the floor.

Startled, Zhao Pan rushed to grab a medical kit to help stop the bleeding.

But Cheng Lie remained remarkably calm, dressing the wound himself and continuing his work.

He even remarked that he needed to hurry and finish; otherwise, the snow might melt, and the snowman

wouldn't look as good.

For a moment, Zhao Pan was at a loss for words.

Cheng Lie, however, didn’t care about his hand in the slightest, which left Zhao Pan completely exasperated.

Now calling to urge Cheng Lie to visit the hospital, Zhao Pan received the srefusal, growing increasingly

frustrated. "Mr. Cheng, does Miss Yun even know about your injury?"

"She doesn't like to see this side of me."

Cheng Lie recalled Yun Shifei’s previous words. Yes, he couldn’t show his vulnerable side to her—it would soften

her heart.

She hated herself for being soft-hearted toward him.

He knew this all too well.
