After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 25 Basketball Game

Song Yang stormed out of the office, his face dark with rage, glaring at Yun Shifei like he wanted to kill her.

He had never suffered such humiliation before.

The teacher even said that if he dared to bully his classmates again, they would have to call his parents in.

It was enough to infuriate him!

Since elementary school, he had been a little tyrant—everybody always gave way to him wherever he went.

Whoever he bullied could only silently swallow their anger.

But now, a transfer student, an ugly freak, had dared to defy him?!

This made Song Yang feel inexplicably humiliated.

Still, no matter how furious he was at the moment, he had no choice but to bow his head and apologize to Yun Shifei under the watchful eye of the English teacher.

"Yun Shifei, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have torn up your book. I apologize." He said the words expressionlessly.

It sounded like an apology, but his gaze at Yun Shifei was fierce, almost as if he wanted to devour her.

Yun Shifei felt a creeping sense of unease in her heart.

She didn’t know if Song Yang would target her even more in the future.

But then, as she considered that even if she didn’t act out, Song Yang would still continue to pick on her, Yun Shifei found herself feeling less afraid.

After all, for no apparent reason, she’d still be targeted by Song Yang—this difficult person.

If she kept tolerating him, she might have to wait indefinitely for Song Yang’s conscience to surface before he’d stop bothering her.

But if she chose not to tolerate him anymore, perhaps Song Yang would find it troublesome and stop bullying her altogether.

"Hey, Yun Shifei, who would’ve thought you had the guts to snitch to the teacher?" Song Yang revealed his true colors as soon as the teacher left.

He sneered wickedly, walking step by step toward Yun Shifei.

"I didn’t, don’t falsely accuse me," Yun Shifei protested, her frightened expression betraying a mix of nervousness and unease.

She was weak and isolated now, and directly confronting Song Yang wouldn’t end well for her.

She could only take her time and wait for Song Yang to let his guard down.

"You say you didn’t? Wasn’t it just now you made me apologize to you?" Song Yang was furious.

"Yeah. But wasn’t it you who tore my book, falsely accused me, and forced me to recite the text? You made the mistake and smeared me; shouldn’t you apologize for that?" Yun Shifei’s tone was earnest and righteous, yet tinged with obvious fear—this contradiction made her words seem all the more genuine.

Hmm. Sounds logical.

Song Yang almost laughed out of anger.

Was this girl just some straightforward fool? Someone who truly believed that mistakes should be apologized for?

"Hey, transfer student ugly freak, listen up—when I make mistakes, I never need to apologize, and you’re not qualified to make me!"

"Really? Why?"

"Why? What’s with all the questions? I’m telling you, it’s just the way I am, got it?"

Song Yang glanced at Yun Shifei with contempt. No wonder she’d help Cheng Lie; turns out she was just as stupid as him.

Was this what they meant by "birds of a feather flock together"?

Yun Shifei murmured an "oh," but couldn’t help herself from asking again: "Then why do you choose to do bad things? Can’t you just do good things instead?"

"Why would I do good things? Doing bad things is cooler, you know!" Song Yang scoffed, lifting his chin high with a smug sense of pride.

Yun Shifei blinked, testing the waters: "But my sister doesn’t like people who do bad things."

That’s strange. Last time, Song Yang had said he wanted to turn over a new leaf. Why had things changed now?

Thinking back to her previous interaction with Song Yang, could it be that he had gone to see Yun Sisi afterward and she’d said something to him?

Sure enough, Song Yang spoke next: "Yun Shifei, stop playing innocent. You always bully Sisi at home, and now you expect me to do good things? It’s already generous that I didn’t beat you up."

So it really was because of that...

Yun Shifei’s heart shook, her gaze lowering momentarily before she lifted her eyes to meet Song Yang’s. "So that’s why you tore up my book?"

"That was just a warning—if you keep bullying Sisi, it won’t end with just a torn-up book. I’ll make sure you’re kicked out of school!" Song Yang spat the harsh threat.

It really was terrifying.

Yun Shifei couldn’t help but clutch her chest.

So everything that happened today had originated with Yun Sisi.

Yun Sisi was just perfect—she only needed to say a few casual words and people completely believed her.

As for herself?

Yun Shifei felt a pang of sadness.

She had believed that as long as she minded her own business and stayed well-behaved, her parents might show her a bit more love and her life would improve.

But Yun Sisi seemed bent on seeing her miserable.

Did she truly hate seeing her do well?

...

When Yun Shifei returned home, it wasn’t long before Yun Sisi arrived as well.

As Yun Sisi entered, she glanced at Yun Shifei briefly, as though trying to discern something about her.

Surely, since Song Yang knew that Yun Shifei always bullied her at home, he would have helped her get back at Yun Shifei, right?

After all, he liked her so much.

Yet Yun Shifei wasn’t at all how she had imagined—she hadn’t returned home crying but was instead calmly flipping through a book.

She sat quietly on the sofa, a foreign literary classic in her hands. Her posture was upright, her head lowered as she read the book resting on her knees. Her black hair cascaded over her shoulders, revealing a slender neck.

Ignoring her face, Yun Sisi suddenly saw an air of elegance and serenity emanating from Yun Shifei.

How could someone like her have such poise?

Yun Sisi couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

At that precise moment, Yun Shifei looked up.

Seeing her dark and skinny face, Yun Sisi dismissed her earlier thoughts as nonsense.

"Sister," Yun Sisi called out, placing her school bag to the side. "How was your day at school?"

"Not bad," Yun Shifei replied.

Yun Sisi’s gaze lingered on Yun Shifei’s face for a while, slightly disappointed.

She couldn’t see anything amiss.

Had Song Yang even bullied Yun Shifei?

Was his affection for her all fake?

Yun Sisi felt deeply let down.

Relying on others turned out to be rather unreliable.

She coughed lightly and asked, "Sister, Brother Mu has a basketball game this Friday. Will you go watch him?"

Yun Shifei looked puzzled.

"It’s the crucial qualifying match against the school next door, Second High. Brother Mu would definitely want you to cheer him on."

As she spoke, Yun Sisi pulled out a ticket from her school bag and handed it to Yun Shifei. "Sister, I have two tickets. Let’s go watch together."

Yun Shifei looked at the ticket Yun Sisi offered but didn’t take it. "No need..."

"Sister, come on, let’s go."

"What are you two talking about?" Xu Ya walked over from the kitchen, looking at Yun Shifei and Yun Sisi.

"Brother Mu has a basketball game this Friday afternoon. I wanted to go watch it with sister, but she doesn’t seem interested," Yun Sisi said.

Since Yun Shifei hadn’t shown much interest in Mu Chengzhu lately, Xu Ya had long forgotten about Yun Shifei once liking him.

She assumed that what children liked came and went quickly.

Xu Ya said to Yun Shifei, "You should go and watch. There’s no class the next day anyway, and coming home a little later is fine."

She thought it was a good idea for Yun Shifei to integrate herself with the group.

"Exactly, Sister," Yun Sisi said with a smile, beaming at Yun Shifei.
