CHAPTER 08 I do not wish to conquer planet M 6, I only want to be with you

Ah, what are you talking about? Don't play dumb; we can see it clearly. Both of them like you very much!" Shi Shi continued, "However, both of them are so outstanding that if we were in your position, it would definitely be difficult to make a choice.

Do you not know the purpose of Simon's visit to Planet M6

When I was leaving, Simon turned his head and glanced at me, but he did not say anything to stop me. This subtle gesture instantly made me feel particularly warm, and I did not expect that this miserly person also had a mature side.

Holding a bundle of firewood, I was just about to head back to find them when a sudden rustling sound came from around me. Following the sound, I was astonished to discover a rabbit behind the bushes

Are you underestimating me too much? Do you think I am the kind of person who is untrustworthy in your eyes? I feigned displeasure

Cough, cough. I coughed a few times unnaturally, suppressing the shyness in my heart, and stole a glance at the butler walking ahead. In a lowered voice, I said, "This is the Lan family's territory." The implication was that "this is someone else's domain, so be more restrained."

It is nothing, because it does not mean anything to me; it is you being with Simon that makes me the saddest.

Indeed, this is what I am concerned about. Although I can sense Simon's feelings for me through his actions, love is not a simple matter. I fear that he is merely competitive and is saying this out of spite towards Lan Chujie.

What we! Did not heed Simon's exaggerated metaphor, I was taken aback by that word "we" and my heart raced.

You... you already knew that, didn't you

Fool, you underestimate me too much! Who am I? I am the great Demon King! Do you think I cannot see that you are in a bad mood? Simon walked over to my side; although his tone remained impolite, the concern in his eyes warmed my heart

Ah ... ...

Because you are here

Is anyone there? Is anyone outside? I shouted again loudly

I said softly, "I'm sorry..."

A series of events evolved from an accident, which not only changed the relationship between Simon and me but also brought this camping trip to an early end. After breakfast, Lan Chujie called for the driver, but fortunately, he did not abandon us; he simply sat apart from us. Before getting into the car, I heard Lan Chujie's suppressed coughing.

Sigh! Simon let out a long sigh, then released me, nervously looking me up and down, "Are you hurt? Is there anywhere that hurts a lot?"

What a stingy fellow! However, how is it that I can't dislike him at all?

I, I... I timidly began to speak

As the holiday came to an end and I returned to school, Simon repeatedly cautioned me against spending too much time with Lan Chujie, warning that he would immediately show up at school and cause chaos. I assured him multiple times that I only wanted to inquire whether Lan Chujie had recovered from his illness, and only then did he reluctantly agree.

Because I believe in him! I retorted loudly, "No matter how the rest of his family is, I just believe in Simon! That's enough!"

Simon appeared somewhat embarrassed under my gaze, raising his hand to touch the tip of his nose, which made him seem a bit uneasy

"Prepare yourself, we are about to leave," Simon said to me after he finished organizing the last item.

"Class is about to start, let's go." After a moment, Lan Chujie spoke and then walked downstairs

What are we talking about? I withdrew my gaze and turned to look at him

"Descendants of the Moldex family! If you have the ability, let us fight openly and honestly!" Simon bared his teeth at him

Simon pressed his lips together, offering no rebuttal. Upon seeing him like this, my anger dissipated in an instant

After hearing this, Lan Chujie raised an eyebrow, while my face quickly flushed red. I shook off Simon's hand and walked towards the bus station

I covered my face and continued to stride forward. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my forehead, and then I sat down on the ground, dizzy and disoriented.

Simon, we should go back! Both of us are missing, everyone must be worried!

The necklace was put on me by Simon, and then he embraced me. Feeling Simon's warmth, I thought that no matter how many years later, I would probably remember the happiness of this moment.

Aren't we supposed to go camping? Why are you still sleeping?

"Friend?" Lan Chujie suddenly interrupted me sharply, "Yue Yinyin! Are you out of your mind? Do you even know what you are doing?"

Simon! I exclaimed through clenched teeth upon seeing the person outside the door

In the following two hours, Simon and Lan Chujie rarely stopped arguing; we talked a lot about school matters and amusing incidents that had happened to each of us, until the butler reminded us that it was time for Lan Chujie to rest, at which point we finally left

I... Simon glanced at me, then raised his chin and said casually, "I just came to see you"

Simon took off the backpack that he had been carrying on his back and thoughtfully opened it to take out food and drinks, handing them to me

I know," Simon replied nonchalantly

"Regardless of whether you agree or not, I will not give you to anyone else!" Simon added once more

What! Upon hearing Simon's words, I exclaimed.

This time, as soon as I finished speaking, I actually heard a sound of footsteps.

With this glass cover, although I can still see the scenery outside, I can no longer hear any sounds from the outside, just like the last time at the amusement park

Oh my! This is the first time in my life that I have seen a wild rabbit

"Where is Lan Chujie?" I looked around but did not see Lan Chujie's figure, and could not help but ask curiously

Well, promise me that you will always wear it

Although this is not the first time I have angered Lan Chujie, I can sense that this is the angriest he has ever been

Ah?

"That day, when Lan Chujie sent you home, I was very angry. Ruil told me that it was called jealousy. He asked me if I had developed feelings for you, and that was when I realized my true feelings." After a pause, Simon continued, "I don't want to conquer Planet M6, Yue Yinyin, I just want to be with you"

As the car traveled along the road, unexpectedly, Lan Chujie and Simon did not argue; instead, they chose another way to continue this silent war, which was the "Cold War"

"Alright, you don't need to explain." Simon waved his hand, "I trust you."

You cannot

"No, it's not that. It's just that you previously said you didn't know what familial love and romantic love were. Now, you suddenly tell me that you like me..."

Enough, enough! Stop arguing! Unable to endure any longer, I loudly interrupted the two's endless debate

"You left in such a hurry last time that I didn't have the chance to introduce myself," said the strange man as he took a business card from his chest pocket and handed it to me. "My phone number is on it. If you encounter any strange people or unusual events, be sure to contact me!"

This is a barrier, and now no one can disturb us. Simon said

"How did you become lame?" Simon reacted the fastest and blurted out.

This person is simply full of flaws; you should give up on him and be with me instead. Moreover, being the queen of the demon clan is not an easy task, and you are not suited for that kind of environment

This is a gift for you, which should be referred to as a 'token of affection' in human terms

No, we will not go out yet. Simon shook his head at me, and then, a red light flickered in his hands once more. He waved his hands, and a transparent glass dome appeared at the top of the pit.

Simon ignored my distorted expression, smiled, and a look of reassurance appeared on his handsome face

Where are you? Simon's voice sounded very anxious as he shouted repeatedly

He widened his eyes, the flush on his face rapidly receding, replaced by a fierce expression. I hurried upstairs before he could 'change his face', only to hear Simon's deafening shout behind me: 'Yue—Yin—Yin'

Upon seeing this, a vague sense of unease rose within me, and I unconsciously moved closer to Simon

You can simply use 'generosity', and stop learning idioms randomly

The atmosphere in the car is truly nerve-wracking, especially for me, sitting between the two of them, feeling it all the more acutely. Glancing at Riel, who is drooling in his sleep in the passenger seat, I can't help but feel a mix of envy and resentment.

You! Simon has run out of words

Rest assured, I will not mock you for being physically strong, intellectually simple, arrogant and narcissistic, and for being overly jealous

Indeed, if you like someone, you should boldly tell them! Shi Shi quickly agreed

"How do you know..." I was surprised and a bit embarrassed at the same time. I certainly did not want Simon to misunderstand me as the kind of girl who is indecisive, so I hurriedly explained, "In any case, Lan Chujie is also concerned about me, which is why..."

This guy, is he ever going to stop! As if the princess wasn't enough, now he's even saying "baby".

Turning my head, I was just about to tease Simon when I noticed his serious expression

Do not be angry! Simon hurriedly explained, "It's just that I thought about it for a long time yesterday. I kept thinking, if that 'Heart of Flame' was real back then, now..."

I nodded and followed along. However, I did not expect that after this farewell, Lan Chujie would be absent from school for a long time, as he had taken sick leave

Is that true? Thank you! Lan Chujie, you are really kind!

I apologize for what happened yesterday; it was an accident

"Then who do you like more?" Kexin pressed on relentlessly

Cough, cough! I didn't pay attention to these things before, so of course I didn't know!" Simon awkwardly touched his nose, "This, this is also what Riel told me. He said that if you like someone, you will always think about her, and even dream about her. Besides that, when I see her get hurt, I also feel uncomfortable. If she ignores me, I feel even worse. And... and I can't stand her being with other boys..."

Well, Simon and I are indeed together. In fact, Simon is a very good person. You all come from the Demon Realm, so we can be considered fellow townsfolk. If we could become friends...

"Let's go outside and talk, I need to get some sun." Lan Chujie changed the subject and pointed to the wheelchair in the room.

No!

"What are you doing?" Simon felt a bit embarrassed under my gaze and pretended to be indifferent as he replied, "I just think that guy, Lan Chujie, isn't miserable enough, so I want to go and mock him a bit!"

We will go gather some dry firewood and return shortly

"Don't you think so?" Kexin asked me incredulously, then took out a large handful of candies and stuffed them into Ruil's hands, "I really wish I had a younger brother like this!"

After walking along the riverbank for a while, I saw the figure of Lan Chujie. He stood quietly by the river, his silhouette appearing very lonely. I hesitated for a moment before approaching him

"Answer me, Yue Yinyin!" Simon said, supporting my shoulder, his voice filled with urgency.

How could that be? I didn't say anything wrong. It is not an easy task for humans to live in the Demon Realm, and Yinyin is simply not suited for it

I was aware of my own shortcomings and did not rush to defend myself, but instead followed him. However, Lan Chujie was walking too fast; I stumbled and struggled, and after much effort, I finally managed to follow him back to the camp, only to find that his complexion was even paler than when I had seen him by the river

Alright! Why do you care about him? He is an adult, even if he is sick, does he need you to take care of him? Can't he go see a doctor by himself? Besides, he is also a member of the demon race, okay!

Strike if you must! I want you to come and not return!

Alright! Stop thinking about it! The matter is already in the past, and we should look forward. If, I mean if, you really find the 'Heart of Flame', would you...

This is not difficult at all; both of you are just too fickle.

But until nightfall, no one found me. The temperature in the forest at night is relatively low, and I was shivering uncontrollably, my throat hoarse from shouting. Moreover, strange sounds occasionally echoed around me, causing me to tremble even more.

Hmph. Simon had his nostrils flared, wearing an expression that conveyed "I fear no one."

The next day, Simon knocked on my door early in the morning

I am sorry, I do not know... Apart from apologizing, I do not know what else to say

What is the purpose of Simon coming to Planet M 6? Why did Lan Chujie suddenly bring this up? Could it be...?

You are the one who is limping! I merely twisted my ankle accidentally yesterday

"I am not talking nonsense; I like you, and you like me. This is the most wonderful thing." Simon raised his hand and tousled my hair, then took something off from around his neck, which seemed to be a pendant, and held it out in front of me

Ah! I exclaimed once again

On the weekend, after cleaning the grocery store, I sat aside in a daze. My appetite has been poor these past two days, and despite Riel preparing various delicacies in different styles, it has not stimulated my appetite.

"What is there to exclaim about?" As we followed the butler inside, Simon, noticing my curious glances, couldn't help but hum, "The entire magical realm belongs to us; this little place isn't even enough to serve as my bathtub."

I sighed helplessly, even foreseeing the scene of their irreconcilable interactions

I... I think both of them are great! Yes! Both are great! Just kidding, I haven't confessed myself yet. What if I say it out loud and these two girls mess it up?

During the fall, I did not feel afraid; the only thought in my mind was, "I am truly lucky today! This is also my first time falling into a pit!"

It may be a small issue for you, but it is a big trouble for me! Simon carefully held my hand, and a burst of red light blossomed from his fingertips, which then covered my injured area. By the time the red light faded, the scar had miraculously healed.

No need, I am doing this voluntarily. If you truly wish to thank me, then dedicate yourself to me.

Yin Yin. Simon stared at the business card, responding word by word, "He is the sanctioner."

During the camping trip, Shi Shi and Ke Xin kept congratulating Simon and me. Lan Chu Jie was right beside us and must have heard it. Why did he still ask me this question? Such words should be spoken by oneself, and it really is a bit embarrassing

"As long as he does not provoke me." Simon nodded, but what he said was essentially meaningless, as the two of them simply could not refrain from provoking each other

Simon raised his chin and said: "Yes, she is now mine, so hurry up and offer your blessings!"

It is me! It is me! I am here!

Under Simon's command, Riel left very reluctantly

Having finished speaking, I prepared to place the luggage in the trunk with Riel, who was on guard against Lan Chujie, only to hear Simon disdainfully say: "A despicable little man pretending to be generous! What a charade of a gentleman!"

Heavens! Am I offering my embrace, replacing words with actions?

What a buzzkill! The moment I hear Riel call "Lord Demon King," I picture a group of snot-nosed little kids, draped in blankets, with scarves tied around their waists, and brandishing plastic swords. In an instant, all my thoughts vanish.

Hmm! I nodded vigorously; it seems that Lan Chujie is no longer angry.

Do you not believe me? Seeing that I had not responded for a long time, Simon became anxious.

You cannot watch her all the time

The barrier was set by me, and I am certainly well aware of the movements outside. He originally wanted to break it, but he was too weak. " At this point, Simon raised his chin, appearing quite proud, " To think he could take you from me like this is truly overestimating his own abilities!

You are now my princess, so what is mine is yours!" Simon said with certainty

Simon

Lan Chujie, regardless of the circumstances, I still want to sincerely say I am sorry to you, and secondly, thank you.

Ah! How did this guy suddenly confess to me? Clearly, I had already decided to be the one to confess first! ... How could he ...

The people from the Demon Realm have arrived on Planet M6. Do you think they came for a vacation? Or to immigrate and settle down? Their family is the ruler of the Demon Realm; he is the Demon King, the next sovereign! Do you think his purpose for coming to Planet M6 is simple?

No need, you all should finish setting up the tent first!" I waved my hand and then walked into the woods with Shishi and Kexin.

I want to hear you tell me in person

The night in the forest is both dangerous and beautiful. Gradually, a multitude of fireflies gathered around the glass dome, flapping their wings and emitting a green glow, continuously swirling around.

Hmph, especially that guy, Lan Chujie... What did you just say?

Listening to the conversation between the two, I stood there in a daze, feeling particularly helpless. I said, can you consider the feelings of me, the person involved

You fool! I already said I would come with you! Yet you refused, and now look what happened! Sigh! I should not have listened to you; even if I had secretly followed you, it would have been better! Simon's words were a jumble, sometimes blaming me, sometimes blaming himself. At the same time, his hand gently stroked my back, trying to comfort me

I am fine, I said to Simon, and then turned to the person I had just collided with, intending to apologize, but as soon as I looked up, I was taken aback.

"I told you it's nothing." Lan Chujie said in a much lighter tone, pulling my hand but hesitating to let go.

Simon's words successfully diverted my attention and left me feeling somewhat embarrassed

When I went out, besides Simon, there was also a little fellow following closely behind me, and that was Riel

Speaking of my grandmother, ever since Simon arrived, she has not needed to manage the shop much, especially now that there is also Riel. Recently, she has developed a new interest, so she is often not at home. What is this new interest, you ask? It is the square dancing that has become popular all over the country

I am in a big pit! Simon! Simon, come save me!" I called out Simon's name, tears almost streaming down my face

"Tsk." Simon huffed in dissatisfaction, "What does it matter? This is my territory! If he dares to come here, it would be an illegal invasion, and I have the right to defend my land. I won't show any mercy when the time comes."

"Simon." As my thoughts shifted, the expression of emotion on my face became even more genuine, and the flush on Simon's face became increasingly apparent

Do you really care about me

"Lan Chujie, are you feeling unwell?" I asked with concern, disregarding our previous argument.

It is just some minor injuries, nothing serious.

Do not get too complacent! As long as you treat her even a little poorly, I will take her away from you!" Lan Chujie was unwilling to fall behind

"By the way, Yinyin, between Lan Chujie and Simon, which one do you actually like?" Kexin said as she carefully handed me a handful of candy.

Hurry and make breakfast, I am hungry!

This person is truly vain; since he wants to put on a show, I will not hold back either

Seeing the two of them arguing again, I silently sighed to myself: Indeed, they are truly worthy of their demonic lineage, they are so combative!

Faced with Simon's probing questions, my heart raced like thunder. At such a critical moment, I unexpectedly slipped, and then... I found myself suddenly falling into Simon's embrace!

I trust you, a phrase that seems simple, yet it requires immense courage to truly express. Despite Simon's frequent jealousy and his somewhat petty demeanor, whether it was when I went to find Lan Chujie during our last camping trip or this time when he took the initiative to suggest going to see Lan Chujie with me, he has always shown a generous side.

I am fine. " Lan Chujie maintained a cold demeanor.

"Token of affection? Where did you learn such a term? Is it from the Riel teachings?" Hearing Simon's choice of words, I couldn't help but tease him, but when I saw the object in his palm, I couldn't help but be astonished, "It looks like a miniature 'Heart of Flame'!"

Is anyone there? Is there anyone outside! I called for help while checking my surroundings, and the fear crept in slowly.

When Simon and I went out, Grandma was not at home, so Simon instructed Riel to take good care of the house

Before long, the sound of knocking on the door echoed once again

Uh! Since you have said that, is there any point in my responding?

At noon, I anxiously went to the school rooftop, as I was uncertain whether Lan Chujie would be there. Fortunately, fate did not treat me too harshly; he was present. However, recalling the unpleasant way we parted before, I did not dare to approach him recklessly, for I feared that even if I took the initiative to greet him, I would not receive a response.

"You don't have to give me up to someone else... because I like you too." I finally mustered the courage to say it all at once

"Won't? You are being too naive! The people of the Demon Realm are warlike; to prove their strength, they have invaded countless planets. Even our ancestors are no exception, let alone the Ximengmendo family, which is renowned as the most belligerent family in the Demon Realm! How do you know he won't deceive you?"

"Let me push you!" Fearing that the two would continue to argue, I took the initiative to suggest it. However, as soon as I finished speaking, Simon pushed the wheelchair to the bedside.

I grasped Simon's hand, staring intently at him until I noticed his ears turning red, before speaking again: "The idiom 'graceful and poised' is generally used to describe women."

Do I need your permission for what I do? Now go make breakfast! Otherwise, I will starve!

Seeing Simon in a predicament, Lan Chujie seemed quite pleased, and then took the initiative to help me carry things. Upon seeing this, Simon immediately stepped forward and started playing a game of "who can grab it faster" with Lan Chujie, leaving Riel and me standing dumbfounded beside them, not touching a single item.

"Ah? Where are we going?" I retorted

"Look! You still say we are not devoted, yet you are the same!" Ke Xin said discontentedly

Simon held me tightly without any intention of letting go until my stomach let out a "gurgling" sound, at which point he pulled me down to sit and then took off his coat to drape it over me

Have you seen a doctor? I asked, withdrawing my hand without showing any emotion

I said, I like you too

Ah ... ...

Younger brother? Cute? I reached out to rub my forehead, feeling somewhat helpless, and thought to myself, what would their reaction be if they knew Riel's true age

"Which 'we' are you referring to?" Lan Chujie coldly snorted, then turned to look at me

Upon arriving at the destination, after we took out the items from the trunk, Lan Chujie instructed the driver to drive the car back. Before long, Shishi and Kexin also arrived. Subsequently, the girls were responsible for checking whether the ingredients were sufficient, while the boys began setting up the tents. As for Simon and Lan Chujie, they continued to play the roles of two "refrigerators"

Hey! You two, do not confuse right and wrong!

"Yue Yinyin, I like you!" This time, Simon's tone was particularly resolute

I am fine" replied Lan Chujie coldly

"Lord Demon King! Moses... Lan Chujie has arrived!"

"I don't need to pretend. Besides, what does the process matter in order to achieve the final goal? This is what you said," Lan Chujie retorted coldly

After listening to Lan Chujie, I found that the words I wanted to explain were stuck at the tip of my tongue, because I truly had nothing to explain. The fact that I am with Simon is undeniable, and it is also a fact that I cannot respond to Lan Chujie's feelings. Although I am very grateful for Lan Chujie's concern for me, Simon has done much more for me. What is important is that feelings of affection cannot be measured by gratitude or guilt.

That arrogant and narcissistic fellow, who is also quite petty, is the least capable of hiding his inner emotions. When he learned that the "Heart of Flame" was fake, he was not angry at all; instead, he let out a sigh of relief. At that moment, I knew he was different

Although you are unhappy because of that guy Lan Chujie, who can blame me for being so "generous and appropriate"? I will accompany you to see him!

Yin Yin! Simon called out my name and chased after me

Is this also called bright? I asked in surprise

But Lord Demon King..." Riel glanced at the necklace around my neck again

Simon's voice grew quieter, as if he were shy. Just as I was about to take the opportunity to tease him, he suddenly asked loudly, "Do you like me?"

Lan Chujie once told me his family's address, and I have also heard from Shishi and Kexin about how the Lan family is "well-off". However, when I saw it with my own eyes, I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

During this time, Riel was running back and forth delivering items, and her obedient demeanor and adorable face completely captivated Shishi and Kexin, who kept shouting "So cute".

Ah ... ...

Simon... I am deeply moved by the emotions of "this is the person I like" in my heart

Upon hearing my words, Lan Chujie pressed her lips tightly together, forming a straight line, and her brows furrowed as if she were trying hard to suppress the excitement bubbling within her.

Bright? I turned around and looked out the window, and what met my eyes was a scene shrouded in a gray haze

I can

I immediately recognized it was Simon's voice

Simon's breath brushed against my ear, warm and causing my ears to flush as well

Simon promised me that he would not do this

Ah ... ...

I think I might like you

Lan Chujie asked this question once again, and this time I do not believe he is asking me why I came to find him

What happened? I asked in confusion

I want to talk to you" Simon spoke again, his expression very serious

I don't know, but you and Simon didn't come back all night, and it seems that Lan Chujie is quite upset. Shishi replied while smiling at me, and Kexin beside her also had a beaming smile.

I just came to see Lan Chujie, after all, his illness is partly my fault. " Xi Meng thought, and I explained, " That day I fell into the pit, and he also came looking for me, but he was blocked outside by your barrier.

"Yinyin, see you at school." When we parted, Lan Chujie smiled and waved at me

Moon Yinyin! Is it you

"Lan Chujie, are you feeling better?" Seeing that Lan Chujie was not angry, I took the initiative to ask.

I am here... my voice has already choked up

The steward led us to Lan Chujie’s room, informed us that Lan Chujie was waiting for us inside, and then turned to leave.

In fact, even though I had previously guessed that Lan Chujie had feelings for me, I did not pay much attention to it and interacted with him openly. However, ever since I got together with Simon, he has been telling me every day to keep my distance from other boys, which has made me feel somewhat awkward now

Time passed little by little, and I kept praying in my heart for Simon to appear. It was only at this moment that I realized how much I depended on him

What happened? I asked as I looked at the necklace

Riel hesitated and stared at the candy for a long time, then thanked and carefully put it into his pocket, resembling a little adult, which caused the two girls to scream again.

I stood opposite Lan Chujie, and slowly, I noticed a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his face had also turned somewhat pale

"Alright, it doesn't hurt anymore, does it?" Simon looked at me, smiling like a child

It seems you were well prepared, weren't you? I teased.

Bang! Before my words had even settled, I found myself crashing into Simon's embrace. It seems he has also learned to respond with actions instead of words. However, is this guy made of iron? The impact left my forehead throbbing with pain

"Lan Chujie seems to be ill," I said softly to Simon

"Count of a Thousand Years?" I exclaimed, but no, that was wrong, I quickly corrected myself, "Strange Uncle?"

Recalling the magic that Simon used to heal my wounds yesterday, I finally felt a bit more at ease

Lan Chujie, breakfast is ready, let's go have breakfast

Indeed, they cannot stay quiet for even a moment, my head is aching from their noise! However, it is fortunate that they generally listen to me

"Regardless of the circumstances, you cannot joke about your own body; you are not a child anymore." Without waiting for Lan Chujie to respond, I forcibly pulled him to a sheltered corner and then checked his forehead temperature with the back of my hand

"What, what happened?" Simon stammered.

"Clearly injured, yet still claiming otherwise! Does it hurt?" Simon asked, taking my hand with a look of concern.

When Simon and I returned to the camp, we only saw Shishi, Kexin, and Ruil.

Well, there is nothing important, you may continue to sleep. When Lan Chujie arrives, I will call you.

However, even so, we should return, after all, it was Lan Chujie who invited us to go camping. As a result, we haven't returned all night, and I wonder what he will think.

"I do not wish to listen," Lan Chujie interrupted me without hesitation, and then strode away.

Then, I will come to call you later. Simon felt a bit awkward and turned on his toes to leave

"What are you doing?" I asked sleepily as I opened the door

Is that so? I see that it is already quite bright outside

To be honest, if I were to say that what Lan Chujie said to me had no impact on me, that would be a lie. As for Simon, I did have a moment of doubt, but soon that doubt was erased by the image of his overbearing and domineering demeanor in my mind.

Without a moment's hesitation, Simon jumped down and embraced me tightly, his strength nearly taking my breath away, and at last, my tears flowed freely.

However, although they spoke words that provoked each other, they did not actually resort to physical violence

"You!" Simon exclaimed excitedly, then glanced at me, calmed himself, and said, "You might as well give up! I will take good care of her, give her all my best, and I won't give you a chance!"

"Do not be afraid, I will come down immediately." Under the moonlight, Simon's expression was unexpectedly gentle; upon seeing me, he let out a long sigh of relief

After the uncle finished speaking, he shook his umbrella and left. Before departing, he glanced at Simon once more

In fact, I have no objections to my grandmother's new interest, it's just that...! ... Grandma! Could you please not wear the clothes with Gintoki's face on them to dance!

I will go too

"You ... ... um ... ..." Just as Riel was about to say something, Simon suddenly appeared and covered his mouth

"Yinyin?" Simon called out tentatively

Seeing the unsuspecting rabbit, I was excited to approach it, but suddenly I felt a void beneath my feet, and then my body uncontrollably began to fall down

I understand, this is a token of our love, and I will always carry it with me

Oh! Young lady! We meet again!" The uncle said to me with a smile, but his gaze lingered on Simon

Upon mentioning Lan Chujie, Simon's expression immediately changed. Seeing his indignant demeanor, I couldn't help but laugh

When I woke up again, the sun had already risen. Thinking about what Simon had told me last night about his experiences in the Demon Realm, I felt that we had grown much closer. However, I suddenly remembered something.

"Yue Yinyin, do you know what you are doing?" I was contemplating how to begin when Lan Chujie suddenly spoke up

Continue sleeping? Woken up twice in a row, who can still sleep? What's wrong with this guy today

Simon appeared to be in a good mood, stretching and saying: "Of course! That means I won't have to see that scheming fellow, Lan Chujie, who has ulterior motives towards you, and I can truly enjoy our time together as a couple"

A tall top hat, a grayish-white tailcoat suit, plump lantern pants, a pair of shoes with pointed toes, and an umbrella used as a cane

Well, it doesn't hurt anymore! Let's hurry up and go out, so that everyone doesn't continue to worry!

What exactly do you want to do? I asked in a harsh tone, as being awakened was truly unpleasant

This is terrible! I didn't bring my phone when I came out, and I have no way to call for help. In comparison, the "summoning circle" is indeed a great thing. At this moment, I deeply understand Simon's feelings of disdain.

Simon! Simon, help me!" In a state of panic, I shouted once again

Friend?" Lan Chujie said with a cold smile, "Are you together with Simon?"

The afternoon sunlight presented a captivating golden hue, intermingled with hints of red, casting a glow upon Simon that left me entranced. Yet, I knew that my enchantment was not solely due to the scenery before me, but more so because of Simon's words

"Alright, you can continue sleeping!" Simon said, waving his hand before I spoke again

Upon seeing this, both Lan Chujie and I silently turned our gaze towards Simon

Of course! You are the first friend I made at school

Yinyin! Are you alright? Simon hurriedly came forward to help me up and brushed the dust off my clothes

I recalled Simon's unusual behavior last time and feared that this smaller version of the "Heart of Flame" might also have issues. Just as I was about to inquire, however, Xin spoke up first: "Lord Demon King, are you and Yinyin together?"

"Where are you going?" Simon suddenly asked

I will protect her

Please! Can you see what time it is now? It's only 5 o'clock!

Ah?

This is Riel, and he will also be going with us. I explained apologetically to Lan Chujie

Because I was there, those words sounded like the most beautiful confession. I gazed at Simon's serious face, and my heart couldn't help but flutter. The four words hidden deep in my heart almost slipped out. Suddenly, Riel's voice echoed from downstairs.

Hmm? I replied

I just wanted to ask if your health has improved

Terminator? After the strange uncle left, I looked at the name on the business card and almost laughed out loud. This peculiar uncle not only loves role-playing, but even the name on the business card is quite unusual

Look at me

"Your visit alone brings me great joy," Lan Chujie said to me with a smile, then provocatively turned to look at Simon beside me and remarked, "As for you, it is rather reckless of you to dare to come alone to the territory of the Mosidel family."

"Hmph! It's good to be sick." Simon pouted

Yin Yin. Lan Chujie suddenly shifted the topic to me

"Hypocritical." Simon muttered beside me, then took my hand and shook it at Lan Chujie, "No matter how hard you try, she is still my treasure, you are not allowed to covet her!"

Looking at the eyes of Shi Shi and Ke Xin, I knew what they were about to ask. I was contemplating how to respond when Ruil walked over, staring at the necklace around my neck with a look of shock.

Knock knock knock

I looked at Simon and blinked

Indeed, Lan Chujie is also a member of the demon clan; how could I have almost forgotten that!

What a world for just two people! What are you talking about! Although I know that Simon means no harm, hearing those words still makes me feel very shy

Indeed! The person I accidentally bumped into was the same one I encountered last time, the peculiar uncle who played the Grim Reaper in "Black Butler." This time, he has taken on the role of the main antagonist, the Millennium Earl, in "D.Gray-man." Why does he always choose to portray such strange characters?

Why

The outside fell silent for a moment, leaving only the sound of hurried footsteps. Before long, Simon's voice echoed above my head.

Regarding the matter of 'liking'

Looking up, the bottom of the pit is about five or six meters away from the surface. Fortunately, it is covered with thick leaves; otherwise, I would have surely broken my leg. However, my backside is really hurting!

Alas! Confessing one's feelings also requires a good opportunity

Aren't you being a bit exaggerated? Is Ruil so adorable? I think if I hadn't intervened, Shishi and Kexin would have probably hugged Ruil tightly and pinched his face.

This lord is here to accompany my princess in exposing your feigned suffering. Simon avoided answering the topic of family, yet he spoke while wrapping his arm around my shoulder

Close the door, I once again burrow into the quilt

"Do not worry," Simon said lazily, "I told Riel a long time ago."

Simon held me securely in his arms; I struggled for a moment, only to find that he held me even tighter

Simon came over and pulled me, seemingly about to argue with Lan Chujie again, so I quickly shook my head at him

"How hot! You have a fever!" I exclaimed

With Simon present, the gossip insights of Shishi and Kexin were greatly satisfied, and I became merely an accessory. After a while, Ruiler prepared breakfast, but Lan Chujie had not yet appeared, so I volunteered to look for him, after all, this event was organized by Lan Chujie for my sake

Hmph! Even if it is a ploy of self-inflicted suffering, I must succeed, mustn't I?" Lan Chujie retorted sharply

Do you know

Ah! This fellow! After all, this is a matter of confession; one should not rush others for an answer! I also need to calm my emotions!

"It doesn't matter, as long as you agree." Lan Chujie nodded, not paying any attention to the extra person.

Calculating, it has not been long since Simon and I became acquainted, yet many events have transpired during this time. Moreover, I never anticipated that we would actually enter into a relationship, as I initially believed he was a delinquent youth, which made me particularly resistant.

"I thought you only had eyes for Simon," Lan Chujie retracted his hand and said with a bitter smile. "That day, I was worried you were in danger, so I kept searching for you. When I finally found you, Simon had already set up a barrier, and I couldn't get in at all. Do you know how I felt waiting outside the barrier all night?"

No. I shook my head, my mood had calmed down; the earlier fear had completely dissipated due to Simon's presence

You... thought for a moment, and I still asked, "Are you afraid that I will abandon you and leave secretly?"

Our eyes met, and I was stunned for a long time, my mind a complete haze. When I finally managed to sort out my thoughts, I suddenly raised my hand to cover my face

"You are not allowed to argue later, do you understand?" I said to Simon before going downstairs

Simon raised his chin and said, "Aren't you just trying to trick Yinyin into pushing you? You deliberately say such things, but I won't let you succeed." Although he said this, even I could see that Simon had no malicious intent. Lan Chujie’s expression was also quite subtle; he merely snorted and did not refuse.

Lan Chujie's words made my heart sink; I originally wanted to say something to cheer him up, but now I find myself unable to say a single word

"Lan Chujie!" Without waiting for my response, Simon hurriedly scolded.

Indeed, who would directly ask others for congratulations! However, Shishi and Kexin cooperated, clasping their hands and saying "Congratulations," as if they were exchanging New Year greetings

One can tell from Simon's expression that everyone has been looking for me for quite some time

"Lan Chujie, are you feeling unwell?" I asked softly, as he appeared very weak

"Riel, please go wash the ingredients we will need later in the nearby stream. We will be back shortly," I said to Riel as I stood up.

What happened? I asked softly

As I approached the door, I was just about to raise my hand to knock when Simon, a step ahead of me, directly pushed the door open. As soon as the door opened, I saw Lan Chujie sitting on the bed in a black silk robe.

After listening to Shi Shi and Ke Xin chatter for half a day, seeing that the tent was almost set up, I suggested that we gather some dry firewood nearby and take a stroll around.

Perhaps due to the season, there were not many scattered dry twigs. I was completely focused on searching, entirely forgetting about my companions who had come with me. By the time I realized, there was already no one around.

I stared blankly at Simon, unsure of what he was going to do
