Reborn: Married to the Demon King

Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Fell Asleep

Cheng Lie gradually calmed down. He noticed that he hadn't just bitten Yun Shifei’s lip; there were faint marks

on her neck as well—all caused by him just now...

At this moment, the girl cautiously glanced at him, her expression full of grievance. Cheng Lie couldn't stay

angry anymore.

But he wasn’t going to let her off so easily. He reached out and touched her lips. "From now on, don’t make me

angry again."

Hearing the slight softening in Cheng Lie’s tone, Yun Shifei immediately nodded. "I won't. It hurt so much just

now when you grabbed my wrist."

She raised her wrist, showing him the red marks, now tinged with shades of blue and purple.

Cheng Lie felt a pang of guilt.

In truth, he had let his anger completely overwhelm his rationality moments ago. All he’d wanted was for her to

ccloser, but he hadn't anticipated that she would end up getting hurt...

He went to fetch the first aid kit.

Sitting on the sofa, Yun Shifei let out a long breath. Hmph, he'd been so violent just now—now let him have a

taste of what it feels like to worry and feel guilty!

She realized she needed to reevaluate Cheng Lie.

The Cheng Lie of today was not just formidable but also someone not to be crossed lightly. One wrong word from

her, and it cwith such a steep price to pay.

Yun Shifei walked to the mirror, inspecting her lips. The blood had already crusted over, but it still hurt to lick

them.

The ambiguous marks on her neck were even more conspicuous.

This...

How was she supposed to face anyone like this?

But as Yun Shifei replayed the events from moments ago in her mind, she couldn't help but blush, her heart

racing.

She hadn’t expected that Cheng Lie had held her so dearly in his heart, liking her for so long.

Yet, in the past, she hadn't realized just how much he loved her.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt her heart pounding.

How to describe this feeling? It dissolved all the unworthiness she had felt before. She used to believe she wasn’t

good enough for Cheng Lie, but now she saw just how deeply he loved her.

Thinking back to when she broke up with him, she couldn't imagine how much pain he must have endured

during that time.

Remembering their first meeting after the breakup, he hadn’t shown a single flicker of emotion.

During this time, even as he attended classes with her, he hadn't acted out of the ordinary.

It was as if he had mastered the art of hiding his emotions so well that she hadn't been able to see through him

at all.

Realizing this, Yun Shifei couldn't help but feel a bit heartbroken.

How much pain must he have suffered to be able to suppress his feelings so deeply? At their age, he had already

learned to restrain himself in every way. He must have endured far more hardship than she could imagine.

And she? She had indirectly brought him so much torment as well. Thinking about the tshe had brought up

their breakup, Yun Shifei began to loathe herself a little.

Back then, she hadn’t known how deep his love ran, hadn't realized how meticulously he had preserved things

connected to her from years ago.

This heavy love—how could she possibly reciprocate it?

Soon enough, Cheng Lie returned with the first aid kit and began applying medicine to Yun Shifei’s wrist.

The bruise-relieving ointment spread over her wrist, leaving behind a warm, tingling sensation.

Yun Shifei raised her eyes to look at Cheng Lie.

He was seriously applying the ointment, his eyes lowered, his thin lips pressed together.

There isn’t a woman who doesn’t fall for a serious man, especially one who's serious and attractive.

In this moment, Yun Shifei was deeply moved as well.

This scene—it felt as if they had experienced something similar a long tago.

After treating the bruising on her wrist, Cheng Lie raised his eyes and immediately caught the girl staring at him

without looking away.

It was rare for her to look at him so openly, and Cheng Lie couldn't help but smile. "What are you looking at?"

"You." Yun Shifei, caught red-handed, didn’t shy away. Instead, she smiled brightly and said, "You're so

handsome."

She was actually complimenting him! Cheng Lie didn’t know whether to think she was finally growing up or if she

was learning tact.

Just as he was about to say something, a shadow flitted in front of him, and a soft, sweet kiss landed on his lips.

Before he could even register its taste, Yun Shifei had darted away, standing up and taking a step back.

Seeing her guilty expression after doing something daring, Cheng Lie couldn't help but let out a chuckle. "Come

here."

His mood, once clouded with anger, now seemed exceptionally bright.

At the stime, he made a startling discovery—his every emotion, be it joy, anger, sorrow, or pleasure,

revolved entirely around her.

Just one kiss from her, and his anger dissipated completely.

In fact, he even felt... happy.

Yun Shifei didn’t move. Instead, she pointed to the marks on her neck. "Cheng Lie, no matter how much you love

me, you need to control yourself."

She was genuinely afraid that a single kiss like that, akin to a spark igniting a wildfire, might push Cheng Lie to

do something even bolder.

But just now, it wasn’t as if she’d been able to restrain herself. Overcwith joy, she had lost control of her

actions.

Seeing the wary look in her eyes, Cheng Lie only wanted her closer.

He knew his earlier behavior had crossed the line, scaring her. He worried she might develop a psychological

barrier because of it.

"I can control myself. Chere," Cheng Lie urged with surprising patience.

Yun Shifei trusted that Cheng Lie was a man of his word and wouldn't lie to her. It was only then that she

cautiously inched closer.

Who would've thought that as soon as she got near, Cheng Lie would pull her into his arms?

The man’s tall build made it easy for him to hold her close, lifting her onto his lap.

Yun Shifei let out a startled yelp.

Cheng Lie embraced her tightly, resting his head against the crook of her neck. The warmth of his breath against

her skin brought a wave of goosebumps.

"Cheng Lie..." Yun Shifei gave him a light shove but couldn't move him.

She was surrounded by his crisp, clean scent, and it made her heart feel like it was about to leap out of her

chest.

Even though Cheng Lie wasn’t doing anything inappropriate, this level of intimacy still made her feel it was too

much.

After a while, she heard Cheng Lie’s low voice murmur, "Feifei, you've won."

Yun shifei froze.

Cheng Lie didn’t elaborate further. He simply stayed still, nestled in the curve of her neck.

The soft fragrance of her skin was something he found irresistibly comforting. It was the only thing that could

soothe his restless heart.

It was only when she was beside him that he could feel at peace.

Cheng Lie couldn't help but reflect on the tthat had passed. The thing he feared most had still cto pass.

In the past, his greatest fear had been that his love for her would far exceed hers for him, leaving him alone in

the end.

So he had done everything he could to make Yun Shifei fall for him, ensuring she would never be able to leave

him.

But now he realized that his

There had even been moments when, in his darkest thoughts, he considered that if she ever tried to leave him,

he might as well kill her.

But now, because he loved her so deeply, he would rather endure his own pain if it meant she could be happy.

Yun Shifei sat stiffly, still reeling from Cheng Lie’s words, not knowing what they meant.

But Cheng Lie said nothing more. After a while, she could hear the sound of his steady breathing.

He... had actually fallen asleep!
