After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King
Chapter 131 Fear

Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Fear

Mu Chengzhu has been thinking about the past these days.

He couldn’t understand why Yun Shifei suddenly seemed to dislike him so much.

In the past, he hated how Yun Shifei would always gaze at him with infatuated eyes, and unknowingly, she stopped looking at him altogether.

But now he felt like something was missing.

No matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t remember doing anything that would make Yun Shifei suddenly change from liking him to disliking him.

Or maybe, her fondness for him before was just a figment of his imagination?

Mu Chengzhu suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart, wondering if he would treat Yun Shifei differently if he could go back in time.

He was unsure.

After walking the dog, Yun Shifei returned home and found Yun Tiancheng already there, who chatted with her for a while.

"Shifei, are you getting along well with the puppy?"

Yun Shifei nodded.

Yun Tiancheng patted Yun Shifei on the head: "Dad is going on a business trip to Beijing in a couple of days, I might be away for a week, can you take good care of yourself?"

"I can do it."

However, Yun Tiancheng was still somewhat uneasy.

Although Yun Shifei was very sensible, she was still just a child. He always worried that if something went wrong, there wouldn’t be an adult to help her.

Thinking that Yun Shifei’s best friend was Cheng Lie, he asked Cheng Guomin for some help.

Cheng Guomin said, "Don’t worry, I will help you take care of Shifei."

"Thank you."

"No problem at all, Xiao Lie also likes Shifei, they often play together."

Cheng Huai overheard and said, "Uncle, don’t worry, I’ll also look after Shifei."

He hadn’t had much interaction with Yun Shifei before, but now he found her increasingly attractive and was willing to spend time with her.

"Thank you." Yun Tiancheng looked grateful.

Before getting to know the Cheng Family, he thought they were not easy to get along with.

But now he discovered that everyone was warm and kind.

Actually, Yun Shifei was also sensible. With uncles and aunties around to look after her, his previously worried heart was now finally at ease.

Yun Tiancheng, thinking about his upcoming week-long business trip, reminded Yun Shifei to be careful when she’s alone at home and to talk to Aunt Zhong if she had any issues.

Yun Shifei agreed to all of this.

"Dad, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself."

Even without Aunt Zhong, she could still take care of herself.

She wasn’t a child. In her previous life, even when she worked alone, she managed just fine.

After Yun Tiancheng left on his business trip, the house already had few people, and now it was only Yun Shifei left.

Aunt Zhong didn’t live with them, only coming daily to cook and clean.

The large villa was instantly left with just Yun Shifei and the puppy.

Actually, when sleeping at night, Yun Shifei was a bit afraid. She would check the doors and windows repeatedly, making sure everything was locked up.

Finally, she would take the puppy to bed with her.

The next day, Yun Shifei went to class with a tired face.

Truth be told, having someone at home and not having someone makes a big difference.

She hadn’t expected that she wouldn’t adapt to living in the house alone.

Especially in such a large room, it was so quiet at night that she could hear a pin drop.

This caused her to wake up at every slight noise during sleep.

The puppy, too, was very restless, probably because it was the first time sleeping with her. It would crawl all over her, even stepping on her.

One paw landed on her chest, almost making her cough up blood.

Yun Shifei decided that no matter how scared she was tonight, she wouldn’t let the puppy on her bed.

It should just sleep quietly in its own bed.

Cheng Lie noticed that the girl’s spirits were not quite right too.

Lately, there was no exam that would require staying up late to study.

Cheng Lie thought about it and suddenly remembered that starting from yesterday, Yun Tiancheng seemed to be on a business trip.

Ever since Xu Ya and Yun Sisi moved out, the Yun Family was left with only Yun Tiancheng and Yun Shifei.

Yesterday, Yun Tiancheng went on a business trip, leaving only Yun Shifei at home.

She was so timid, with an empty house and only her inside, she probably was afraid and couldn’t sleep well.

Cheng Lie’s lips were slightly pursed. This kind of thing, he couldn’t help with, he couldn’t keep her company at night.

During a physics class, Yun Shifei yawned several times.

This subject was already hard to learn, and now she was also sleep-deprived. She really wanted to just lie down on the desk for a nap.

Yun Shifei rubbed her eyes and saw a hand reach over, offering her a candy.

It was a mint candy, which could help her stay awake.

Yun Shifei was instantly alert.

She took the candy and smiled at Cheng Lie: "Thank you, Cheng Lie."

Cheng Lie glanced at her and then looked away.

After school, Yun Shifei walked with Cheng Lie, yawning as she said, "I must go to bed early tonight."

Provided she could fall asleep.

It was just after five, the sky wasn’t completely dark, giving her a great sense of security, making sleep possible.

But later in the night, she didn’t know if fear would keep her awake again.

She had a bad habit of having an overactive imagination, always connecting every societal news to herself.

Like a woman alone at home at midnight, a thief breaks in.

Or a mansion being robbed, the owner abandoned in the wilderness.

...

Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lie reached out and stuffed a piece of paper into Yun Shifei’s hand.

Yun Shifei was a bit startled.

"If you get scared at home, you can call me."

Back home, Yun Shifei sat dazed on the sofa, quietly staring at the piece of paper in her hand.

It had Cheng Lie’s phone number written on it.

A cellphone number.

Cheng Lie had a cellphone.

Being a high school student with a cellphone, she was especially surprised.

In this era, cellphones weren’t something that everyone had like in the future.

Cellphones were still luxury items, generally owned only by successful people.

At this time, not only were cellphones expensive, but so was the monthly rental.

If Cheng Guomin really bought Cheng Lie a cellphone, she couldn’t understand what Cheng Guomin thought of Cheng Lie.

On one hand liking him, yet allowing his wife to bully Cheng Lie?

Soon, Yun Shifei thought of something else.

She hadn’t told Cheng Lie anything, how did he know that she would be scared living alone, and gave her his phone number?

This kid, usually quiet, had quite a sensitive mind.

But this was also quite nice. If Cheng Lie would talk to her, she wouldn’t be afraid.

At night, Yun Shifei prepared to sleep after taking a bath.

As usual, she checked the entire house, then immediately rushed into her room, locking the door behind her.

The puppy also curled up in its bed to sleep.

Yun Shifei lay in bed, unable to sleep.

She heard the wind howling outside the window. Snuggled under her quilt, she thought for a moment and finally pulled the phone by her bed to call Cheng Lie.
