The dark eyes quietly stared at the white-ringed eyes on the opposite side.
Hei Dan opened his eyes wide and glared fiercely at the black eyes opposite him.
Neither side blinked.
In the end, it was Hei Dan who was defeated first, his big eyes flattened and he looked like he was about to cry. At this moment:
“Don’t cry.” The man said in a sleepy voice under the pillow.
As a result, the faucet that was about to burst out with tears was forcefully turned off.
Then, the little black demon couldn’t help but spread its two thin legs.
“No peeing.” The man said lightly again.
So, the little demon forcefully sandwiched the little thing between his legs.
Only then did he realise that the person he was grabbing was not his uncle at all, but that terrible demon. Upon noticing this, the little demon immediately released his claws.
He looked around for help, but he couldn’t find his uncle’s figure at all. There was only a big demon on the bed. Could it be——
The person who slept with Hei Dan yesterday was this big demon ! ?
Hei Dan’s expression immediately became very colourful.
The big demon, who had been constantly staring at the changes in the little demon’s expression, finally smiled.
“Haha!” Unlike the faint smile that used to be almost imperceptible, this was a smile that could almost be described as cheerful.
At this moment, the black-haired demon, whose hair was turned into a mess by Hei Dan, looked like a teenager.
He smiled happily.
But Hei Dan was not happy at all.
He was both scared and panicked, unable to find his uncle’s figure, afraid to cry, and afraid to pee.
Hei Dan felt a bit aggrieved.
And then—–
“Come here.” Just as Hei Dan continued to look in the direction of the door, the black-haired demon on the bed patted the pillow next to him. This was a gesture to signal him to come over, and Hei Dan could understand it.
If his uncle had done this, Hei Dan would have crawled over long ago, but now the one waving at him is——
Hei Dan cautiously climbed over.
Then, Hei Dan was captured by the big demon, and the next second——
He was placed on the big demon’s chest.
His uncle often does this, while grandpa puts Hei Dan on his head more often.
Whenever uncle puts Hei Dan on his chest, Hei Dan will count his uncle’s heartbeat.
“1! 2! 3!” Hei Dan can recognize numbers and count up to seventeen now.
Counting while reporting, Hei Dan can count for a long time, and Ji Huan doesn’t get bored. It’s a good thing that children like to learn. This kind of proactive training is something many adults crave, and he will not dampen Hei Dan’s enthusiasm.
Over time, Hei Dan became particularly fond of playing counting games with his uncle.
As long as he can count things, he will definitely count them. I believe he will soon be able to count to a hundred.
So when Ah Jin lifted Hei Dan to his chest, Hei Dan’s counting instinct overcame his fear, and he reflexively wanted to count, but——
“Ah?” Hei Dan tilted his little head in confusion, and his soft hair immediately fell to one side.
The little demon who woke up early in the morning had not dressed up yet. His hair was still in a dishevelled state, which was definitely not good-looking. However, the black-haired demon looked at him with great interest, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
“Ah.” He even said a word imitating the little demon.
The little demon looked at the black-haired demon, then stretched out his little paw and pressed down.
He pressed the left side of the black-haired demon’s chest, where the heart was supposed to be, but “Why is there no ‘thud’ ‘thud’ here?”
The black-haired demon didn’t quite understand what he meant, but he still smiled at the little demon.
The little demon then stared at the hand of the black-haired demon holding his waist.
“1! 2! 3!” His slender black claws touched the long, pale fingers, and he counted the other person’s fingers.
“Oh~” When he accurately counted to ten, the black-haired demon raised his eyebrows slightly.
Feeling that this was a compliment, the little demon smiled shyly. Then, feeling that the hair on his head was blocking his sight a bit, he raised his little head as if thinking for a moment.
After a moment, the little demon crawled down from the black-haired demon’s chest. He then raised his buttocks, and stretched out his thin arms under the pillow where the man was lying.
There was a green hair tie, then there was a second one.
Holding the two green hair ties in his little paws, the little demon raised his arms and struggled to tie a small knot by himself.
But his head was a bit big.
=-=
After struggling for a long time, he still couldn’t tie it up. Finally, the black-haired demon took the green hair ties from his hand.
Just when the little demon was about to treat him as a robber, the black-haired demon took the initiative to touch the little demon’s head, gently grabbed a few strands of hair, and finally two little pigtails were tied on the little demon’s head.
The little demon felt uneasy about the other party’s skills, so he stretched out his arm again and pulled out a mirror from under the pillow.
This mirror seems to be put back together after being broken. Its handle was worn out, and it looked as if it had been picked up from the trash and then repaired.
However, the little demon liked this mirror very much, holding it and looking at it seriously.
When he found that the pigtail was almost exactly the same as the one tied by his uncle, he happily shouted at the black-haired demon.
Seeing the little demon happily stuffing the broken mirror back under the pillow, the black-haired demon suddenly became a bit curious.
No wonder this pillow felt so rough, there are so many miscellaneous things underneath!
Now he is curious about the things down there.
So, in the next second, he lifted the entire pillow up.
All of Hei Dan’s “treasures” were exposed.
There were a lot of “shiny crystals” inside! They were not scattered there in a disorderly manner, but instead put together very neatly.
The black-haired demon noticed at a glance that they were stacked in a pile of five, counting a total of three piles. There was also a single bright crystal placed next to them.
“Sixteen!” Noticing that the black-haired demon was observing his treasures, Hei Dan was not nervous at all. Instead, he proudly shouted out the number of his treasures.
This is his pocket money. Every time he helps Grandpa and Naji with things, they would give him money. Hei Dan obediently hands over his salary to his uncle for safekeeping, and then receives his pocket money from his uncle.
After saving a certain number (usually thirty), Hei Dan will hand them all to his uncle, and then start saving from scratch again.
Well, he actually just likes to count and to be praised.
This pocket money was given to Hei Dan when his uncle praised him, and counting allowed Hei Dan to count how many times he had been praised as “great” in total.
No wonder— seeing the number of these bone coins, the black-haired demon thought silently, and then looked around the bone coins again.
Under Ji Huan’s pillow, in addition to sixteen bone coins, there were also——
Two stones, not big, slightly green and round, were found by Hei Dan in the yard. He thought they looked a bit like the very beautiful green stones worn on the collar of a certain big demon, so he picked them up;
A beautiful bone, in the shape of a crescent moon, looked very beautiful, but the black-haired demon immediately recognized it as a broken nail from a Koji monster;
A feather, washed clean, looks good, but in fact its source is very ordinary. The feathers shed by the chickens outside are the least beautiful one;
A literacy book— this is Hei Dan’s latest reading material;
And then—
Under the book, he saw another tattered book.
The cover was so familiar that he could recite almost every word of it.
The smile that originally hung on the corner of his mouth suddenly disappeared, and his face suddenly became expressionless.
This slight emotional change was immediately felt by the little demon.
Feeling a bit worried, the little demon looked at the other person who suddenly became fierce for some unknown reason. After thinking for a moment, he dug out a ring from the deepest part of the book.
It was the ring that Ah Jin gave him, with a large ruby embedded on it.
Looking at the ring in his hand, the little demon reluctantly handed it to the big black-haired demon.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of taking it, he thought it was because the other party did not understand his intentions. Therefore, he took the ring back and licked the ruby on top of it a few times, and then handed it over again.
Expressionless, the black-haired man took the ring handed over by the little demon, and then, he pressed the ring against his mouth.
Then, just as how the little demon demonstrated before, the black-haired demon stuck out the light-coloured tip of his tongue, and then——
He bit the red stone into pieces in one bite.
The little black demon: No ! ! !
Ji Huan, who happened to push the door open and walked in: Oops ! ! !
The black-haired demon who was caught bullying other people’s children: =-=
There was a clicking sound in his mouth, followed by an obvious swallowing sound as he swallowed the stone.
Looking at the uncle and nephew, who were obviously of different races but had unusually similar expressions, the black-haired demon waved his hand and stuck out the tip of his tongue that was dyed bright red:
“It’s just candy.”
“A while ago, I got a candy that is said to be the favorite of the people with a sweet tooth— candy that can last for a hundred years.”
“It happened that the ring was missing a stone, and the candy looked like a gemstone, so I pressed it on.”
Looking at the young man standing at the door with his dark eyes, he explained.
Then he saw the young man’s expression stiffen before finally changing back to his original expressionless look.
At night, it looks very white, but during the day, it seems even whiter— staring at the young man’s exposed skin, the black-haired demon silently thought to himself.
The young man at the door lowered his eyes.
Glancing at Hei Dan who covered his mouth in time, he had no intention of pursuing the little guy for “licking candy” before brushing his teeth. He just slowly took a step forward and said: “I… am going to wash clothes, do you want your clothes washed?”
“Hmm, do you have any clothes here that I can wear?” The black-haired demon said slowly, unable to see the expression on the other person’s lowered face. Instead, his eyes fell on the other person’s hands.
“If you don’t mind, you can wear mine.” The young man said as he walked to the chest of drawers, squatted down, and found a few clothes from the bottom drawer.
When he was looking for clothes, the eyes of the black-haired demon fell on the pictures of the little demon all over the wall, and…
He saw those two photos.
One is a young demon in the fighting arena, and the other is a missing person notice with a portrait of a smaller demon printed on it…
Gently placing the clothes beside the bed, Ji Huan touched Hei Dan’s head before leaving.
The black-haired demon was left sitting on the bed, leaning against the pillow, staring at the photo on the wall.
He stared at it for a long, long time.
The author has something to say: Ah Jin saw it.
