Wiping his hair with a towel, Ji Huan was stunned for a moment, then he ran to his closet and rummaged through it. Actually, there was no need to rummage around. He only had a few pieces of clothes, and Ah Jin wore one outfit today. ←He asked me to wash it; I also wore one set today ←I washed it when I took a shower; there should have been another set——
Ji Huan looked through the drawer where there was only a neat pile of green underpants, and then looked at Ah Jin on the bed.
Well, the last set was worn by Ah Jin again.
Ji Huan: =-=
Wearing the only pair of underwear left, Ji Huan glanced at the two demons on the bed and then tried to exit his room step by step.
He wanted to go to Ah Jin’s room next door to sleep.
The sheets over there were newly changed today, and he also took the most comfortable quilt in the house, dried it, and spread it over there. Although he didn’t expect that he would be the one to enjoy all that, but——
Ji Huan told himself in his heart that Ah Jin was just tired and fell asleep.
But he soon discovered that the most comfortable quilt in the house was destined to be enjoyed by no one tonight.
Ji Huan pushed the door, but it didn’t open as expected.
He then increased his strength, and the door opened, but——
It was pitch black outside the door.
The space outside the door seemed to have become a part of the black hole. The room he is in is the only isolated island in the black hole. Looking up: it is dark; Looking down: it is dark; Looking left and right…
There was boundless darkness everywhere.
Only the world behind him was bright: a retro interior design with a sense of history, thick carpets and wooden floors, and on the big bed there were two demons he was most familiar with in this world.
The bedside lamp was on. I don’t know if Ah Jin forgot to turn it off or if it was left for him. The orange light in the room was soft, warm, and safe.
After standing at the door for a while, Ji Huan finally closed the door.
Returning to the bed, he took off his shoes, pulled back the quilt, and finally lay down on his original bed.
That scene just now…what was it?
Is it the protection that Ah Jin turns on when he sleeps? Or… is he still dreaming?
Ji Huan lowered his head and looked at the two demons on the bed, one large and one small.
The sleeping postures of the two demons are surprisingly similar: they are both lying on their stomachs, with the back of their heads facing up. Hei Dan was even more outrageous, burrowing his little head under the pillow.
Hei Dan was used to being picked up by his uncle. When he was picked up, not only did he not wake up, he even rubbed his face against uncle’s hand. Ji Huan put him next to his legs and lay down next to a familiar person. Hei Dan’s little paws immediately hugged uncle’s thighs, and the little guy continued to snore softly.
His belly was rising and falling, and he could breathe now.
His body is still warm.
He still has a heartbeat.
When he first came to this world, he was a ball of mist.
His body was almost invisible, with no breathing, no heartbeat, no temperature, no emotional changes, and no expression.
The first time he cried was when he was pricked by Ji Huan with a needle;
The first time he laughed was when Ji Huan tickled him;
After being forced again and again, the little demon can now learn things by himself.
Discovering that his uncle’s nostrils would breathe in and out, he also wanted to learn how to do it. At the beginning, he only learned to exhale and used to run out of breath after a while. Now he has developed a normal habit of breathing.
From the beginning, his heart either didn’t beat or at least didn’t beat uniformly. But now it beats at the same frequency as his uncle’s heartbeat; from being cold at the beginning, to now being able to automatically adjust his own body temperature according to uncle’s body temperature all year round…
Hei Dan looks more and more like a normal baby…no, a little demon.
Gently stroking the little demon’s hair, Ji Huan was a little lost in thought.
He glanced at Ah Jin next to him again.
The other party was also silent, lying in the bed for a long time, but there was no warmth in the bed.
Not only was there no warmth, but it was even cooler.
Ji Huan pulled the quilt for him again and turned off the bedside lamp a bit.
Leaning on the bedside, while trying not to disturb Hei Dan, he reached out and picked up a book on the desk. Then turning it to a bookmarked page, he started reading.
It was a very boring computer learning book that Adan bought for him, and Ji Huan only read fifteen pages every day.
As Ji Huan was reading the book, he was so focused that he didn’t notice: The big demon beside him had raised his face from the pillow at some point, he turned his face slightly and opened a pair of dark eyes in the shadow.
As Ji Huan read the book, the man watched him from the shadows.
Ji Huan turned off the light and went to bed on time after reading fifteen pages. Not long after he lay down, two demons, one large and one small, rubbed against him again, sharing the body temperature without hesitation. Ji Huan quickly fell asleep.
When he woke up, Ah Jin was no longer there.
Ji Huan’s t-shirt and shorts were placed on the bedside, and the black formal suit hanging on the side was missing.
At some point, Hei Dan rolled to the foot of the bed again and hugged Ji Huan’s feet, drooling as he slept.
Without any other clothes to wear, Ji Huan had no choice but to put on the clothes that Ah Jin had taken off. He then put Hei Dan back in the middle of the bed and opened the door to go out.
This time the door opened smoothly, and outside was the usual corridor, not a black hole anymore.
Ah Jin probably left – thinking this in his mind, Ji Huan washed his face in the bathroom (using boiled water from stored rainwater), and then slowly walked out of the room.
He checked the time: Today, he woke up half an hour later than usual, but luckily he would be able to make it to work on time.
There was already the aroma of food outside the door. It must be that grandpa woke up earlier than him and had already cooked breakfast.
Walking through the corridor, the dining table was right in front, and then——
At a glance, Ji Huan immediately saw the black-haired man reading a newspaper at the dining table.
Wearing the same black formal suit as before, Ah Jin had a bowl of hot porridge in front of him, and on the plate was pork chops that Grandpa had just fried for him.
“Thank you.” When Ji Huan came in, he was saying thank you to his Grandpa while putting the newspaper away.
“Good morning.” When he saw Ji Huan, he greeted him.
“Good morning,” Ji Huan responded stiffly.
“Xiao Hua, it’s time to eat!” He didn’t notice his grandson’s stiffness at all and hurriedly served an extra bowl of porridge.
God knows that when he(grandpa) thought he was going to have breakfast with Ah Jin alone today, he was very nervous!
Fortunately, my grandson arrived.
The lamb-horned demon secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then chose the smallest and most tender piece from the pork chops, putting it on his grandson’s plate.
Ji Huan’s family now has a standard demon breakfast pattern: meat is served early in the morning.
However, although they were eating pork chops and using plates similar to those used for Western cuisine, their family was still accustomed to using chopsticks.
Big meat chops, chinese cold vegetables, a small plate of pickles, and glutinous rice porridge, this is the breakfast at Ji Huan’s house.
Occasionally there will be soy milk, which is made by Grandpa using a “grain” bought in a shop that Adan introduced. Although it doesn’t look like soybeans at all, it tastes somewhat similar.
Hei Dan’s milk powder has long been finished, but grandpa always felt that his great-grandson would not grow quickly without milk. One day, I don’t know how he did it, but he finally created a drink that tasted very similar to soy milk, with a milky white color, but it’s more like “neinei”.
Hei Dan likes to drink it very much!
Unfortunately, there is not much of this kind of grain, so the old demon can’t cook it every day. Usually, their family still eats porridge.
Unlike Abu and other demons who were too busy to use chopsticks at Ji Huan’s house for the first time, Ah Jin is very skilled in using chopsticks. Also, Ah Jin had lived in the human world for a long time, so he might have been using chopsticks longer than himself…
Thinking of this, Ji Huan glanced at the black-haired man opposite him again.
I have to say that this outfit suits him very well: elegant, noble, handsome, majestic——
Ji Huan couldn’t say, but he could imagine how people outside felt when they saw Ah Jin wearing this outfit.
It should be full of awe.
Ji Huan hurriedly averted his gaze from Ah Jin, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw the flowers on the table.
It was a vase that Ji Huan had managed to clean before. The flowers placed in it were the kind of flowers known as “millennium heart.” Unlike Ji Huan’s casual way of inserting flowers and calling it a day, the flowers in the vase looked very stylish right now.
The branches and leaves are trimmed in an orderly manner, and the flowers are placed in a very prominent and eye-catching position, making the vase look like a small scenery in itself.
This is obviously not something that Grandpa can do. In terms of artistic appreciation, Ji huan and Grandpa are not as good as the youngest Hei Dan in the family. These flowers are obviously placed here by Ah Jin.
“The flowers bloomed again today, so I cut some and placed them in a vase. I heard that if you change the water on time every day, they can bloom for a long time.” Although he didn’t even raise his eyelids, the black-haired demon seemed to have seen what Ji Huan was looking at, so he took the initiative to say.
“Oh.” Ji Huan silently took another bite of the pork chop.
The three of them finished their breakfast in silence, and while Ji Huan was washing the dishes, Grandpa went upstairs to pick Hei Dan up.
Ah Jin… Ah Jin went to the yard and stood in the corridor, as if he was admiring the flowers.
In the corner, there are blue-white flowers blooming again.
Grandpa and Hei Dan were the first to go out to “work”, followed by Ji Huan.
When Ji Huan went out, Ah Jin also followed.
“I’m going to work too.” He said to Ji Huan.
“Goodbye.” Ji Huan said goodbye to him.
A very ordinary sentence.
But the black-haired man seemed to pause for a moment.
The young man at the door was thin and tall, almost the same in stature, and the muscles on his body had began to form. He looked stronger than before.
The black-haired man looked at the young man at the door, but he seemed to see more than just the young man at the door.
Before Yefar could turn hot, under the sunlight, he saw the young man at the door…and a huge red-black demon behind him.
He seemed to see the tail of the demon wagging at him.
“Goodbye.” He always felt as if he heard a dull roar.
From the deep and cold underground.
Then, the black-haired man narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his mouth, saying softly: “Goodbye.”
Then waving his hand, he turned around and left.
His most important few people are all behind him.
