CHAPTER 05 How? Are you satisfied with what you see?

"Today I will take you home," I said to my beloved bicycle after bidding farewell to Shi Shi and Ke Xin

"Of course you are not dead!" Simon hurriedly interrupted me, "By the way! Are you feeling unwell anywhere? If so, tell me quickly! Your face just turned pale, and I thought... I thought you wouldn't wake up!"

"Are you saying that I am in your way?" Simon supported himself with one hand on the back of the chair and leaned on the computer desk with the other, his warm breath brushing past my ear as he spoke

Simon looked at me, squinted his eyes in thought, and then walked over to gently adjust my shoulders.

The buzzing in my ears continued as I spat out a few mouthfuls of water and began to cough violently

However, Simon suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "So foolish yet so endearing, foolish enough to make me really like you"

After adjusting the position, Simon took several photos in succession, and together we selected a few that appeared the clearest to upload online

At the moment when Shi Shi and Ke Xin saw the blueprint, an uncontrollable smile immediately appeared on their faces. I suddenly felt that the universal aesthetic appreciation of humanity remains the same.

I glanced at Shishi and Kexin, then looked at Simon, and with a sense of defeat, I lowered my head

What happened? Simon was completely puzzled

Well... there is indeed a little bit of concern for you

"It is them," Lan Chujie said, seemingly to alleviate the awkward silence that lasted for half a minute

"Let us go back," Simon said, taking my hand and leading me towards the grocery store

Really? Simon asked in astonishment

At the end of school, Shi Shi efficiently delivered the drawing to me

Simon's behavior left me puzzled, but in any case, it is his secret. It was already quite impolite of me to enter his room without permission. I set aside my curiosity and decided to first convey the good news about the "Heart of Flame" to Simon

"This is more like it," Simon said, patting my head as if he were petting a puppy, with a smile.

I just didn't think things through. Although the family of Lan Chujie is no longer in the Demon Realm, it still has a confrontational relationship with Simon's family. What if some unforeseen circumstances arise!

Are you alright? Why is your face so red?

I turned around and handed it to Simon

Yue Yinyin! As we were pushing our bicycles and were about to reach the school gate, I suddenly heard someone calling my name loudly. Immediately after, I saw Simon walking towards me, and at the same time, he was accompanied by countless adoring gazes from the girls.

Seeing Simon walk away, the girls regretfully dispersed one after another, and I too began to ponder.

The night breeze carried the damp, salty scent of the sea, brushing against my skin with a cool touch. I stood in place for about ten minutes, yet Simon had not come ashore. Although I understood in my heart that he was not human, I could not help but feel worried.

During the lunch break, I once again came to the rooftop, biting a pen in my mouth, sitting on the ground, and contemplating the pattern of "Heart of Flame" drawn by Simon.

Then how can that be? Since we are friends now, I will no longer mind the past. Ah, by the way, how about I invite you all to my house? We have opened a grocery store by the seaside, so if we get tired playing in the sea, we can go to my house to rest

As my consciousness gradually fades, at the moment when darkness engulfs me, I cannot help but smile bitterly within. Simon, did I owe you something in my past life, so... so in this life I ended up falling in love with you... so I have to endure so much suffering because of you...

Simon! I shouted towards the sea, yet the only response I received was the sound of the waves crashing against the shore

Feeling the heat of his palm, the temperature on my face rose once again

"We apologize! We were too confused and should not have done those things that hurt you. Please forgive us!" another girl with short hair immediately added.

I said that when I first saved you, you didn't look like your usual self; I thought I was seeing things. After staring at Simon for a long time, I slowly began to speak

My goodness! I can't be hearing this right! ... This ... ... this ... ...

"Why are you being so reckless? Don't you know it's very dangerous?" Simon said discontentedly

It is probably the power of love; I now see this world as filled with beauty

The business of the shop remains astonishingly good, with Simon's "adorers" almost surrounding the cash register to the point of being impenetrable, and they are all girls. Those girls are staring at Simon with rapt attention, their eyes shining so brightly that it nearly dazzles me.

Of course, it's no problem! Oh dear! Let's hurry, we should upload the pictures online before dinner!

The seawater gradually filled my mouth and ears, and I struggled to remain calm, attempting to paddle towards the shore, but I was still unable to prevent my body from sinking

I handed the "Simon version" of the original image of "Heart of Flame" that I carried with me to Shishi

A wave of fright after another, I even feel as if my heartbeat is about to stop

How would I know about such a thing! Who allowed you to dream about me for no reason! In a moment of panic, I spoke nonsense again

What are you doing? Let go of me! There are many people around! Simon's actions are too ambiguous; I don't need to look, my face must be flushed red.

Really, I already posted a lost and found notice online, so why the rush

It seems that Lan Chujie is still quite concerned about me accidentally seeing him cry due to a touching romance novel

Following Simon's gaze, I looked down and saw the pajamas tightly clinging to my body

Lan Chujie's expression became even more awkward

Of course! This is about the 'Heart of Flame'!

How could I possibly deceive you about such a matter! Moreover, the other party has stated that they will deliver it for us to see tomorrow. I have also looked at the photos they sent, and they indeed resemble the drawings very closely! Oh, by the way, I have downloaded the photos onto my phone, take a look!

Bang

Why do you insist on using 'charm magic'? Business should proceed as it should; when you were not here before, the shop's business continued just fine

I am not a stingy person, you should let them leave. I was eager to discuss the matter of 'Heart of Flame' with Lan Chujie, so I hoped those two girls would leave quickly

Simon held my head with both hands, and after hearing my words, he clearly sighed in relief. However, he still did not give up on roaring: "Yue Yinyin! Are you an idiot? What will happen to Grandma if something happens to you!"

What do you have to worry about

I hate it, I hate it! It's all because of that annoying Simon!

As I watched his figure about to disappear at the door, I glanced at the book in my hand and couldn't help but call out: "Lan Chujie, the book is really wonderful, it brings tears to my eyes..."

Indeed, perhaps I can start from the art club, but... As I hear the bell signaling the end of the lunch break, I have no choice but to stop and walk helplessly towards the classroom

You know that I am not human, so there is no need to worry about such matters at all. Next time, you must not act recklessly again. Simon softened his tone and reached out to ruffle my hair.

I swallowed hard; I had not yet processed what Simon had just said, and almost swallowed the entire candy. At that moment, Simon leaned closer to my mouth, sniffed forcefully, and then pointed at my mouth, saying: "I want to eat too"

Is he being coy?

Lan Chujie glanced at me, then turned and walked towards the door, seemingly intending to leave

The news about "Heart of Flame" has been released for some time. This morning, when I logged into the forum, I finally received a private message. The sender said he found something similar to "Heart of Flame". Although he cannot be certain, he will send it to me and attached a photo. I took a look, and indeed it looks very much like the blueprint

I find that both of these girls are quite easy to get along with, and indeed, after all, no one is inherently a bad person

When the picture came into view, I finally felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from my heart, and I jumped up while holding onto Shishi

As I stepped out of the room, I suddenly heard a faint sound coming from downstairs. After a brief moment of contemplation, I walked to Simon's room and found that the door was ajar, and he was not inside. Recalling a similar situation I encountered last time, I speculated that Simon must have gone to the seaside in search of the "Heart of Flame"

Being in close contact with Simon made me feel as if my blood was boiling all over my body, yet every time I wanted to let go, Simon mischievously accelerated again

"Yue Yinyin, I warn you, do not attempt to remove your hand, otherwise, if you fall off the car, I will not be responsible for it." Simon's voice carried a hint of amusement

All along, I believed that sitting on the beach to watch the sunrise was the most beautiful sight, but now I realize I was mistaken; Simon's smile is even more beautiful than the sunrise.

As I walked with Shishi and Kexin towards the parking shed, chatting and laughing, we passed by the school bulletin board and saw a statement posted by Lan Chujie. The content was a reiteration of my innocence, claiming that I was his good friend and that he would support me in the future. Upon seeing this, Shishi and Kexin teased me again, and I guessed they had long forgotten how fierce Lan Chujie had been at noon. Alas, they are truly naive girls.

I am not dead yet... As soon as I opened my mouth, I felt a burning sensation in my lungs, and I couldn't help but cough again.

"No..." Lan Chujie replied softly

Are you sure you can? Simon's gaze swept over my arms and legs, filled with skepticism

I did not pursue the matter further. At this moment, all my attention was focused on the hand that Simon was holding, completely unaware that the unfinished half-sentence he had left would bring me such deep harm

I am sorry

The moon has appeared again, I do not know when, gently casting its light upon the beach, while the sea, shimmering like scattered diamonds, washes over the tops of my and Simon's feet. The stars twinkle in harmony with it, and this scene truly captivates the heart

Simon's sudden action nearly made me jump, and his word "like" also caused my heart to race irregularly

"But are you really okay?" Simon seemed a bit hesitant as he reached out to place his hand on my forehead

The door to the rooftop closed again, and Lan Chujie's gaze fell upon the paper on the ground as he curiously asked, "What are you doing?"

Hearing what Lan Chujie said, I took a closer look at the two girls and vaguely remembered that they seemed to be among the girls who had once surrounded me along with Luo Linlin.

Are you writing a love letter

"Indeed, Yinyin, in the future we can go to the art club together to have fun," said the short-haired girl, Kexin, with a wink.

Of course! I assure you with a pat on my chest

Have you already purchased it

Seeing this, Simon quickly patted me on the back and only stopped when he saw that I had stopped coughing

"Yue Yinyin." Simon walked up to me, "Didn’t you say you didn’t like me doing that?"

No, no! I must have misheard! Simon is definitely not asking me to hold the candy in my mouth

I turned my gaze towards the sound and saw two girls running over from the adjacent class's area. They looked somewhat familiar... Oh, right, aren't they the two girls that Lan Chujie brought to the rooftop at noon?

Hey, don't automatically ignore what I said earlier

No need

Strange, what is Simon doing with so many stones in the room? And this summoning circle, I remember he mentioned it when he helped me deal with Lorinlin last time. Could it be a communication tool similar to a "mobile phone"?

I sighed inwardly, and only when I turned to look at that piece of paper did I remember the task at hand. As I sighed, I stuffed the paper into my pocket, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me. I grabbed my sketchbook and pencils and ran down from the rooftop

Indeed! This book has just been released and is hailed as the most touching love story of the year. I managed to buy it with great difficulty, and it moved me to tears! As soon as I finished reading it, I thought of you! So, what do you think? Am I not very kind and generous?

"Breakfast is all ready, your timing to come downstairs is quite perfect," Simon said to me with a smile

Hmm! Just now ... ...

What happened? Simon asked again

I found the photo and handed my phone to Simon. After looking at it for a while, Simon finally spoke: "You've been getting up particularly early these past few days, is this what you've been focusing on?"

The candy that Kexin handed to me is very beautiful, resembling a magical planet adorned with vibrant colors

"Yue Yinyin." After a while, Simon spoke up and said, "You really are a fool"

"It will be ready soon, it will be ready soon." I smiled awkwardly

"How is it? Don't you also find it very moving?" I asked eagerly as I put the book away.

"Aren't you going to give it to me?" Simon asked with dissatisfaction, as if I had done something wrong

Simon had his hands in his pockets, slightly bending forward to look at me, his eyes filled with reproach: "Why did you suddenly run off this morning? I didn't even get a chance to talk to you before you went to school"

Thinking of this, I rushed barefoot to Simon's room without even having time to put on my shoes

Ah? I was taken aback for a moment, and it took me quite a while to regain my composure. But, but I only have this one.

The first class in the afternoon was a tedious philosophy lesson, and I kept thinking about the matter of "The Heart of the Flame," hardly paying attention to what the teacher was saying, until the second physical education class began, at which point I finally regained my composure

Lan Chujie’s face instantly flushed red

"Is it not allowed? Do humans still have such rules?" Simon said with a look of disbelief

For my own good

Perhaps it is the moon quietly hiding behind the clouds that renders the surrounding scenery solemn, or perhaps it is the silence of the insects that ceased their chirping at an unknown time, making the seaside appear overly quiet. The thought that Simon must not come to harm expanded relentlessly in my mind. Without considering the consequences, I rushed into the sea in desperation

This is the responsibility that I should undertake

It is truly beautiful! I can hardly believe this was painted based on Simon's picture

Wow! You are all so impressive, what should I give you?

Did you cry? I persistently pressed on with my questioning

Although the lighting in the evening is not good, the moon is relatively bright today. Just as I was hurrying to the seaside, I happened to see Simon dive headfirst into the sea

Let me handle it.

But that is ... ...

The composition of the "Heart of Flame" is quite unique; to humans, it may seem like useless stone. It can only exert its true power in the hands of the demon race, so I believe the probability of recovering it should be quite high

Although I worked hard to prove that I could do it, my slender limbs did not support the surging emotions within me that were eager to demonstrate my capabilities. When I was fifteen meters away from the school gate, I began to tremble in my legs

The stones, of various sizes, are arranged in a peculiar pattern, resembling a hexagram. Beside these stones, there is also a piece of paper depicting the same pattern, on which are written "Summoning Circle" and "Riel"

I... I am not complaining that you are in the way. Seeing Simon's expression that suggested he wouldn't let me be at peace unless I explained myself, I had no choice but to speak honestly, "I just feel that I can handle these matters on my own, and I worry that you might be bored standing by. I am not doing this for myself..."

But what I fear is holding you tightly

"Hurry up and have breakfast, we need to get ready to open the store." I averted my gaze, using the excuse of eating breakfast to withdraw my hand, lifting the cup to take large gulps of milk, in an attempt to conceal my face, which was as hot as if I could fry an egg pancake on it

As night falls, only the sound of the waves and the chirping of insects remain outside the window. I have been lying in bed for two or three hours, still tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep

I mean I have already eaten

I won't, I know my limits, besides, I am not used to being driven by others. I dared not look at Simon, my heart was racing uncontrollably

"This is truly wonderful!" After reading the content of the private message, I couldn't help but jump up.

It is alright, I know you did not do it intentionally

"I haven't bought it! I haven't even seen it yet! Also, could you please stop mentioning the word 'cry'?" Lan Chujie shouted in exasperation.

"You also have physical education classes." Although I did not know what the other party wanted from me, I still responded politely

I understand now, I was just too anxious before

Did you not cry for long?

How annoying! Seeing Simon's serious expression, I thought he would say something appreciative, yet he ended up teasing me again

Why? Don't you enjoy reading this type of novel?

Ah? But I want to adjust the drink

It is alright, you can take it to read without worry. If you like it, I will give it to you directly

Aren't you still not finished eating? Just give it to me directly, Simon said matter-of-factly

Upon returning to the grocery store, I could not wait to jump off the bicycle before it had even come to a complete stop

"Do you dare to hide!" Simon immediately pulled me back with the hand he had placed on the back of the chair

I have come to realize, albeit belatedly, just how lewd my actions have been

Sigh, let's talk about it after school!

Knock knock knock

Hmm? What is that? Isn't it a relic of your mother?

"If you are going to speak, then just speak. Why are you getting so close?" My ears felt hot as I stepped back.

"This... this is actually nothing." As soon as I finished speaking, the two girls exchanged glances again. When they turned their gaze back to me, I saw a glimmer of emotion in their eyes. Then, each of them took one of my hands and said in unison, "Thank you! Yue Yinyin! You are truly a good person!"

"Simon, I am coming in." I opened the door, and indeed, Simon was not in the room.

I buried my face in the pillow, pounding the bed and silently shouting in my heart. Since he arrived, this is the second time I have suffered from insomnia!

Is this place suitable? You need to ensure there is no glare or shadows. I resignedly held the blueprint and stood in position, adjusting my stance while asking.

Simon frowned

I ... ... I really don't want to

"Please lower your voice, I am fine now," I responded weakly.

"You must not look! You are not allowed to look!" I waved my hands wildly, not even knowing where to cover.

I dodged Simon's hand and ran into the house as if I were escaping

Oh my! The Dark Lord just glanced at me!

As soon as the two girls arrived at the rooftop, they immediately spotted me lifting my skirt, and they froze in place.

After taking a sip of milk, I could not wait to share the good news I had just received with Simon

It's just carrying a person, no big deal! When I used to help out at the grocery store, I would carry three bottles on the left and four cups on the right, all while skillfully weaving through the crowd without spilling a tray. This shows just how capable I am!

As I watched him about to pick up the paper, a sudden flash of inspiration struck me like a moment in a Conan detective story, and I hurriedly dashed over to snatch the paper away.

"I can take the photos and upload them by myself, you can go out first." Seeing that Simon had nothing to do, I kindly said this, fearing he might be bored. However, he misunderstood my intention and immediately squinted his eyes and leaned closer to me

I said, Lord Demon King, since you are so powerful, why is your drawing skill at the level of a toddler? I have never studied art, and I truly cannot understand your abstract style

Is he going to be alright? Could it be that he cramped up in the water because he didn't warm up? Or was he swept away by the waves?

Ah! What a disaster! How could I forget that I am not wearing a swimsuit! Moreover, my pajamas have become somewhat transparent after getting wet

Uh ... ...

However, I, who was previously worried that Simon might have an accident due to not warming up, actually forgot to warm up myself. By the time I remembered, my calf was in pain, and I ended up cramping!

Of course! Ke Xin and I were also deceived by Luo Lin Lin into doing those things before. Now that we are friends, we will definitely help you!" Shi Shi looked at me and nodded solemnly, as if she had taken on some important responsibility.

The response to me is the heavy sound of a door closing.

Are you eating candy? It smells very fragrant. Simon suddenly reached out and pinched my chin, forcing me to open my mouth, and leaned in to sniff.

Stop laughing! I said coolly while mixing the drinks, completely unaware of the acidity in my words. In any case, I just don't like seeing Simon smile at other girls, and I even thought how nice it would be if I could close the shop door, so he wouldn't have to attract this group of "bees" like a flower.

Ignoring the strange emotions deep within, I feigned calmness and said: "I have good news to tell you"

Yue Yinyin! Wake up! Don't scare me! Yue Yinyin! Can you hear me speaking? In the hazy darkness, I seem to hear a voice calling out in my ear... No, perhaps it should be described as a roar.

"Is this... is this the gift you want to give me?" Upon seeing my gift, Lan Chujie looked even more surprised

Why are you apologizing to me again

This is the real me, it feels truly wonderful, hahaha..." Simon said with a hearty laugh

Nodding slightly, I solemnly presented the carefully prepared "gift" to Lan Chujie.

A love letter? ... How could I possibly ...? ... Well, let him misunderstand it then

"Feel free to talk while eating; you haven't had breakfast yet"

Um ... ? ... Did I just ask something I shouldn't have asked ?

Of course, I am the esteemed Demon Lord. So, are you satisfied with what you see? Simon said with a hint of pride, standing up and spinning around in place

Huh? What sound is that

Gift? '' Lan Chujie was taken aback.

After a series of warm-up activities, the physical education teacher allowed everyone to form teams freely, and as the "big sister," I was destined to be left alone, merely dribbling the ball.

What happened

What is strange about me? This is a girl's item; it is you who finds it strange after looking at it.

The waves rise and fall, repeatedly washing over our feet

"Yue Yinyin." After exchanging a glance, the girl with long hair spoke first, "We... we still feel that we should apologize to you in person, and we also thank you for not holding a grudge against the foolish things we have done."

Are you saying that you are worried about me

What happened to them? Finding a way out, I pretended that nothing had happened and asked.

Wait! Am I... am I feeling jealous? Ah! This is driving me crazy

Moon Sound

"I am sorry," Simon suddenly said

I know that the reason I recovered so quickly is certainly because Simon used his magic to help me. Just now, when he patted my back, I felt a strange warmth flowing through my body. For Simon now, every use of magic carries a certain level of danger. To be honest, I am quite touched

What is this! I retorted with dissatisfaction, "I am your benefactor! Is this how you speak to a benefactor?"

What, I don't dislike it, I just feel it's unnecessary, one should go with the flow, go with the flow indeed

No need for that, as long as you don't mind the things we did to you before!" Kexin playfully stuck out her tongue

"No..." Lan Chujie paused and said, "Yes, I bought it."

Then you should not ride so fast I tightly held onto Simon's waist, truly afraid that I might be thrown off if he made a careless move

Simon glanced at me without saying a word. After I got into the car, he took a seat in the back, but his tall figure seemed to be uncomfortably cramped.

Shall we take the bus back? I suggested

Alas! I truly do not know how to respond, and I am also unclear whether Simon genuinely does not understand or is pretending not to understand

However, just now a little child riding a balance bike surpassed you

I lowered my eyelids, truly reluctant to answer this question. Suddenly, I remembered that there was someone beside me

Cough, Yue Yinyin, you are a girl, pay attention to your... school skirt. A familiar voice suddenly sounded, with a tone of considerable helplessness

"Foolish woman, can't you just ask me for help?" It seems Simon could no longer bear to watch, and coldly spoke as he walked over and took my camera away.

This is good; just now I was still boasting shamelessly, and I didn't expect to be embarrassed so quickly

"Are you feeling nervous?" Simon asked, noticing my unusual behavior

There is really no need, although I appreciate your consideration. However, the bicycle has already been repaired, and besides, I have a sentimental attachment to it.

What are you doing

"Yue Yinyin, why are you so strange?" Lan Chujie asked curiously

I pressed down on the pedal with one foot, and after Simon settled in, I pushed off with force

Ah, this guy is doing it on purpose, right? He is definitely messing with me

The last time your bicycle chain broke, it was caused by them. I have brought them here now, and you can resolve it in your own way

Do you have any news

Alright, let's go! Without waiting for my response, Simon pushed off the ground, and the bicycle sped away quickly. I was so startled that I instinctively wrapped my arms around his waist

Simon's words made me feel extremely wronged, causing me to cough violently once again

You are far better than I imagined, I never thought of wanting to ... ...

"Alright! Lord Demon King!" Kexin and Shishi replied in unison, their spirits high

Upon hearing my response, Lan Chujie seemed to quietly breathe a sigh of relief

Huh? Am I admitting my feelings for Simon? ... Hmm, no, a girl should be more reserved ...! ... Ah! It's all Grandma's fault for saying those nonsensical things this morning!

Rest assured, I am the all-powerful Demon Lord; you just need to hold on to me tightly

After obtaining Lan Chujie's consent, the two girls, though surprised, immediately left.

I no longer argued with Simon; I swiftly moved and walked behind the cash register

No, nothing! By the way, Shishi has finished drawing the picture of 'Heart of Flame', and we will be able to find it soon

Will you also have good news to tell me

No need! The vehicle is currently in motion

I was completely frozen due to Simon's actions

"I apologize, Kexin, do you still have any candy? My friend would like some as well," I recalled that the candy was given to me by Kexin, and thus I asked.

Indeed! Isn't that something very important to you? Of course, I want to help you find it as soon as possible

I tapped my head and looked at Simon, only to be astonished by his appearance, which was different from usual! His current look is truly remarkable; is this really how he looks in his true form?

By the way, I have a gift to give you

I searched around the house but could not find Simon. I thought perhaps he had gone to the beach again. Just as I was about to run out, I saw him push the door open and walk in.

The girls' screams were incessant, as if no method could calm them down. I turned to look at the beaming Simon, feeling quite frustrated inside

Upon entering the computer room, I swiftly powered on the machine and logged into various forums and message boards, while Simon quietly observed me from the side

Oh, good

After hearing this, he broke into a sly smile

No ... ... No ... ...

Oh my, my face is about to burn up again

Well, it is my fault. This world is inherently abnormal; it must be that I am too normal, or perhaps they are too abnormal. However, Simon has never been normal...

Strange, is Simon not in the room

This guy truly cannot go a day without teasing me, or else he feels uncomfortable all over. However, I don't know if it's just my illusion, but I always feel there is a hint of indulgence in his words

I have no other thoughts, I just want to help out in the store. Besides, if the business improves a bit, wouldn't you be happy?

Due to my actions, Lan Chujie seemed to be plunged into immense shock, taking a moment to react before hurriedly averting his gaze, his face flushed with embarrassment. At that moment, two more individuals emerged from behind him.

No, it's been so long, I must go and take a look! Consider it a good deed for the day! Shaking off the unsettling thoughts in my mind, I ran towards the sea

I feel extremely frustrated

"Your bicycle broke because of me; shall I compensate you with a new one?" Seeing that I did not refute, Lan Chujie probably took it seriously and, not wanting to pursue the matter further, changed the subject.

After deciding to help Simon, searching for the "Heart of Flame" has become my top priority.

"Really, where has he run off to again?" As I closed the door, I was just about to go look for him elsewhere when suddenly, my attention was drawn to the stone on the ground

I do not know if I was infected by Simon's good mood, but I also started to smile and generously praised him a few times.

Seeing my persistent refusal, Lan Chujie finally gave up

It doesn't matter, I don't know if I'm starting to find you cute, I also don't mind the things you've eaten

Yue Yinyin ... ... Simon reached out and pulled down my hand that was covering his eyes, his fiery red gaze fixed directly on me, as if peering into my soul, and his expression instantly became incredibly serious

After calming Lord Simon, I took out my camera to take pictures, but due to lighting issues, there was a shadow in every shot.

"My skirt is fine, I am wearing denim shorts underneath, see!" In order to dispel Lan Chujie's doubts, I stood up directly, lifted my skirt and said.

I stood up, and he certainly did not resemble the appearance of a great demon lord; rather, he looked like a childish little brat. However, I could tell that he was enjoying his current state, as the guise he wore could not compare to the freedom of his original body.

At this moment, Simon, with his silver hair and red eyes, appeared to be a completely different person. His enchanting red eyes added a touch of wickedness to his demeanor, while his long silver hair bestowed upon him an air of regal authority.

"Simon, what brings you here?" I asked in surprise

I am worried about you! You haven't been online for such a long time. If I don't save you, who will?" I quietly defended myself. I, who should have been confident, unexpectedly felt guilty in the face of Simon's powerful presence

I am afraid of being late for school. When I answered, I recalled the conversation between my grandmother and Simon in the morning, and I almost wished I could find a hole to burrow into. However, Simon probably did not understand the meaning behind my grandmother's words.

"We will find it." After uploading the picture online, I turned to look into Simon's eyes and said very seriously

I see, then that is fine

After listening to me, Simon stared at me for a while. Just as I began to feel somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze, he suddenly nodded and said, "Then you come to collect the money"

Lord Demon King, please accept our utmost admiration!

This guy! Does he even know what he is talking about? Is it really so casual to express one's feelings? Moreover, there are many kinds of affection, and if one does not clarify, it can easily lead to misunderstandings! Especially for him, a demon who has only a superficial understanding of human emotions! If he doesn't know, he shouldn't speak carelessly!

Hearing Simon's tone of condescension, I couldn't help but roll my eyes and mutter to myself: Taking someone else's belongings and acting all high and mighty, who do you think you are

"Oh dear, you are going to get better so soon, I will be jealous." After I let go of Shishi, Kexin smiled and handed over a beautifully wrapped candy, "Yinyin, I don't have much to give you, this candy is made by me, consider it a gift to mark the beginning of our friendship!"

I think I must have asked a question that I should not have asked

Shishi, could you do me a favor? This favor is just a simple task for you.

Sighing, I simply got up and went downstairs to drink some water

In this way, I turned misfortune into fortune and made two friends at school. This physical education class essentially became a conversation class, and to avoid the teacher's scrutiny, the three of us happily began to pass a ball around.

Simon's serious expression made me feel a sense of unease, but it seemed he had no intention of explaining the matter. I could only smile and change the subject.

I nodded in understanding and made a gesture of zipping up a zipper with my mouth.

I can do all of these; my grandmother taught me.

Oh right! I need to hurry and tell Simon

What happened? Seeing Simon suddenly stop smiling and stare at me intently, I couldn't help but curiously ask.

Can you do it? I feel like it is quite good.

Did you not cry

Did you just praise me after apologizing? What is wrong with you? Have you lost your mind?

You may call me Lord Demon King," Simon said coolly after tossing the candy into his mouth

Ah! Lord Demon King! You are still so radiant!

Simon glanced at the candy in my palm, then at my mouth, looking quite conflicted. In the end, he reluctantly accepted it, wearing a look of regret.

You don't necessarily have to do it this way! Honestly, now that the words have been spoken, how am I supposed to backtrack? If, if you don't like...

However ... ...

Simon did not respond, nor did he obediently close his eyes; instead, he took a few steps closer to me, almost standing right in front of me, and I, feeling nervous, directly covered his eyes.

Where, where is it ... ... ready? I tried hard to keep my voice steady, took a deep breath, and said

The bicycle has already been repaired by Simon, and that matter is in the past. I waved my hand dismissively, as I am not particularly concerned about it, because finding the "Heart of Flame" is my top priority. If I hadn't calmed down a few days ago, I might have gone over to "resolve" the issue, but now I think I will let it go.

However ... ...

Ever since Simon said that phrase at the school gate that made me "lost in thought," any simple touch can leave me feeling unsettled

Simon stared at me for a while and said with a smile, "Yue Yinyin, you are truly very kind"

Is Simon concerned about me? This is news about the "Heart of Flame" that he has been searching for a long time! Although I understand that there is no comparison at all, I cannot help but feel delighted inside

Strange, Yue Yinyin, why do I find your fierce appearance so adorable? Moreover, I have been dreaming about you frequently lately, and sometimes I think of you even when I am awake. Am I unwell...

Please take a look

Hmm. Simon replied in a low voice, not saying anything strange again

"You truly surprise me," Lan Chujie said thoughtfully as he looked at me

Simon looked at me and smiled, then shook his head, clearly not intending to continue the conversation

Lan Chujie probably did not expect me to be so eager to seek "resonance," and was momentarily taken aback

Hmph. After I filmed and deleted, deleted and filmed, filmed and deleted again, and deleted and filmed again, Simon let out a dissatisfied hum

After listening to my words, Simon fell silent, his gaze complex as he looked at me

Yes, yes, yes! Ke Xin hurriedly nodded and then took out a piece of candy for me

Uh ... ...

The bus is too crowded at this time

I am certainly happy that business is good in the store, but when I see other girls gazing at you with sparkling eyes and you smiling back at them, I cannot help but feel unhappy

Turning my head, I saw Shi Shi and Ke Xin making a heart shape with their hands, looking at Simon and me with envy... Well, I suppose I don't need to explain any further

"You are the vice president of the art club?" After a brief self-introduction, I realized that the girl with long hair, who is Shi Shi, is actually the vice president of the art club. It truly is a case of searching high and low only to find it effortlessly.

Indeed! Simon is a member of the demon clan, how could anything go wrong? I am truly foolish; this must be what is referred to as being overly concerned leads to confusion, being too invested causes one to lose their sense of direction

Hmph! It's not like a flower that blooms every day; is this reasonable?

Lan Chujie did not pay attention to me, standing there in a daze, seemingly a bit awkward, and after a long while finally squeezed out a sentence through clenched teeth: "Thank you, I think I do not need it."

Yue Yinyin! I was dribbling the ball in circles when I suddenly heard someone calling my name

"Alright, stop messing around." Simon stretched his long legs, stepped onto the ground, and regardless of my stubborn refusal, he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into the back seat, while he took a seat in the front.

I looked up and saw Lan Chujie standing at the door, apparently just arrived
