After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 94: Continue to Be Classmates

Yun Sisi also chose the sciences.

For students like her, who don’t have any weak subjects, choosing sciences seems to be a better option than humanities.

After all, in the hearts of the elders, the sciences are where the future lies.

When she heard that Yun Shifei had also chosen sciences, she felt a little disdainful.

"Sis, I think you should pick humanities instead. Don’t be fooled by the lower admission score for science programs and the higher intake numbers—sciences are hard. Plus, every year, there are always more students in our school who choose sciences than humanities."

"I want to give it a try," Yun Shifei replied.

Her grades for all subjects were now passing, and with continued effort, they might improve even further.

Xu Ya thought for a moment and said, "Shifei, your humanities grades are better, and humanities are a bit easier to study too. Why don’t you just choose humanities?"

Her advice was heartfelt. She had looked at Yun Shifei’s exam scores several times—her humanities scores were far ahead of her sciences scores. Unlike Yun Sisi, who was balanced across the board, Yun Shifei struggled with certain subjects.

Xu Ya worried that Yun Shifei was simply following the trend by choosing sciences and feared she might regret it later.

Honestly, studying humanities wasn’t a bad thing. Xu Ya herself was a humanities student and saw no issue with choosing it.

The choice in school didn’t necessarily dictate one’s future path.

Given the size of their family’s company and the many positions available, once Yun Shifei graduated, she could pick any kind of job she wanted.

But Yun Shifei shook her head firmly, saying, "Mom, I really want to study sciences."

She had even decided on the major she wanted to pursue in college.

In a few years, the computer and internet industry would boom, and she thought she could study in that direction.

The more she thought about it, the more confident she felt in her choice.

Of course, this was all on the condition that she could actually get into college.

Come on, Yun Shifei—you can do this!

Yun Shifei silently cheered herself on.

Yun Sisi shook her head, deciding it wasn’t worth saying anything more. Seeing Yun Shifei’s silly determination, what could she say?

She wasn’t like her, meticulously calculating every decision.

Yun Shifei was occasionally smart but sometimes frustratingly dense.

Take this moment as an example—how could she blame Yun Sisi for not giving her good advice?

She had already warned Yun Shifei, and if she regretted it later, it would be her own fault for not listening.

Thinking about it, Yun Sisi couldn’t help but laugh.

Xu Ya, however, still wore a serious expression, trying to persuade Yun Shifei.

"Shifei, Mom is saying this for your own good. You’re not like Sisi—your grades aren’t evenly distributed. You’re quite biased toward humanities, so choosing them might be a safer bet."

"Mom, do you remember what my scores were when I first arrived?" Yun Shifei asked Xu Ya.

Xu Ya froze for a moment. Yes, she remembered—they were mostly in the tens and twenties.

"I remember my average scores were in the twenties. But now, my science grades have all passed. Though they haven’t improved as much as my humanities scores, it’s still progress, isn’t it? With two more years left, why can’t I improve even more?"

She had managed to go from failing to passing in just a few months.

In the two years ahead, she believed she could move from passing to excelling.

Looking at Yun Shifei’s determined face, Xu Ya realized no amount of persuasion would work now.

She didn’t want to force her either.

Their relationship was already strained—she couldn’t let it worsen by pushing her again.

Xu Ya sighed, "Do as you like. Just remember your choice and make sure you don’t regret it."

"I won’t regret it."

The path she chose was one she would continue, even if she had to crawl. There was no room for regret.

A few days later, the students filled out the forms handed out by the homeroom teacher.

Li Dongliang noticed Yun Shifei had chosen to study sciences. He frowned and called her into his office.

"Shifei, your humanities scores are better. If we reorganize the classes, you could be placed in one of the better ones. Why not switch to humanities?"

"No need, teacher. I still want sciences," Yun Shifei replied.

Seeing her unwavering stance, Li Dongliang analyzed the pros and cons for her.

"Given all this, you still want sciences?"

"Yes." Yun Shifei nodded firmly.

"Alright then. Just know that with your science grades, you’ll likely end up in the last-tier class. Be mentally prepared for that."

Even though Yun Shifei’s science grades were passing, they still ranked near the bottom.

Most students from Class Seven chose humanities, and only a few showed interest in sciences.

Outside Class Seven, the other classes admitted students based on academic performance, so their grades wouldn’t be low.

In the science track, Yun Shifei would probably be placed in the bottom class.

But if she chose humanities, she might move two or three classes up.

Suddenly, Li Dongliang thought of something and told Yun Shifei, "Cheng Lie’s father also called and decided that Cheng Lie would study sciences."

Wait—a lifetime ago, was Cheng Lie studying sciences?

Yun Shifei couldn’t quite remember.

But it did mean they’d likely end up in the same class, didn’t it?

After all, they were both academic underachievers.

"That’s great, Cheng Lie! Next semester, we’ll still be classmates!"

On the walk home after school, Yun Shifei shared this with Cheng Lie.

"The homeroom teacher said we’d be placed in the same class. That way, we can keep walking home together and take care of each other since we already know each other well."

Hearing the cheerful voice of the girl beside him, Cheng Lie couldn’t help but turn to look at her.

Was she really so happy about being in the same class as him?

It was an odd feeling.

For a moment, he felt a warm thread of something seep into his heart—the feeling of being needed by someone.

He had never imagined that he would be needed in this way.

After a while, he heard himself softly say one word: "Okay."

Okay for what? Because they could continue being classmates?

It had been a long time since he felt life was illuminated like this.

Like a black-and-white world suddenly infused with the vibrant hues of a radiant rainbow.

Not long after the class placements were finalized, it was time for the semester’s final exams.

In the week before the exams, Yun Shifei stayed up reading until one or two o’clock every night.

She knew her foundation was weak. She hadn’t studied seriously earlier, so now she had to work hard to make up for it.

Children without umbrellas should run hard.

After the exams, Yun Shifei invited Cheng Lie to a dessert shop.

"Do you have any plans for the summer holiday?" Yun Shifei asked Cheng Lie.

Cheng Lie shook his head.

Of course—he probably wouldn’t be going anywhere.

Even if he wanted to, Cheng Guomin wouldn’t allow it.

The Cheng Family seemed to treat Cheng Lie well, but in reality, they didn’t care about him at all.

Take this decision over subject selection as an example.

After the initial excitement, Yun Shifei couldn’t stop wondering why Cheng Lie had chosen sciences.

He was ill—it must have been Cheng Guomin’s decision, not his own.

The sciences are tough.

Still, she couldn’t help him decide. All she could do was hope he’d recover soon. Otherwise, he’d face bullying in that household without even knowing.

That was far too tragic.
