Because Ji Huan came back late, dinner was cooked late today. When it was time to eat, Grandpa fed Hei Dan something to eat first. After feeding him, Grandpa also brushed Hei Dan’s teeth. In this way, Hei Dan naturally doesn’t have to accompany the adults who are late for dinner to eat another round.
Ji Huan’s family has a very regular schedule, and Hei Dan is also a baby with an abnormally regular biological clock.
So after dinner, when Ji Huan went to wash the dishes, Grandpa opened the door worriedly and took a look at Hei Dan, and then he was stunned to find——
Hei Dan had fallen asleep on the bed.
The lights in the room were sensor-activated and turned off automatically after a period of silence. Hei Dan was lying on the brand new green quilt in a small ball, and he even covered his belly.
“It seems that he has adapted well. You have taught him well.” Ah Jin’s voice suddenly sounded behind him, and the lamb-horned demon hurriedly turned around.
Faced with other people’s praises for his great-grandson, he laughed “haha” twice and carefully covered his great-grandson tightly. He exited Hei Dan’s room and closed the door before leaving.
“Good night.” The black-haired demon smiled slightly and said ‘good night’ to the lamb-horned demon.
There seemed to be something wrong, but there seemed to be nothing wrong— the lamb-horned demon scratched its head blankly, and after talking with Ji Huan, he went upstairs.
He sniffed himself: it didn’t stink.
Then he didn’t plan to take a shower. Although demons love to soak in hot springs, and if there is no hot spring, he would just soak in a bathtub. However, after coming to Yefar, everything the lamb-horned demon did was based on the premise of saving money. When his grandchildren took a bath with him, he would then just soak in the remaining water, otherwise he would just deal with it casually, it wasn’t a big deal.
Lying on the small bed in his room, the old demon habitually looked at the photo by the bedside.
He looked at the photo of his grandson, then looked at the photo of his granddaughter, and finally his gaze slowly swept over the photo of his great-grandson, his eyes full of love.
Xiao Hei, we are fine now.
Xiao Hua is very good. He has made many good friends and found a very good job. Although he has no way to go to college here, Xiao Hua is excellent everywhere;
Hei Dan is also very good. Today he started trying to sleep on his own. Such a small Hei Dan is so sensible!
I am also fine.
I hope Xiao Hei is also doing well over there.
His gentle gaze fell on the photo again. Then the old demon turned off the light, pulled up the quilt, and fell asleep quickly.
The grandpa upstairs is asleep, and Hei Dan next door is also asleep.
The ‘hot spring water dispenser’ was not here, so Ji Huan took a bath with water from the pipe today.
Speaking of water pipes, there was originally only one well in this house, and there was no running water system at all.
Finding someone to install things here is not very realistic. Firstly, they didn’t know how to find a plumber here. Secondly, they were worried that others would discover that their family had a well.
So after two months of research, both grandfather and grandson, who have strong hands-on skills, bought a water pipe and other tools from Adan’s friend. Then after stumbling for a while, they actually managed to install a set of water pipes in their house.
Nowadays, it is much more convenient for Ji Huan to do a lot of things, including cooking, taking a bath. Even taking a bath in the vegetable garden is much more convenient. They only need to turn on the faucet in the bathroom inside the house and the hot spring pool outside would get filled with water.
The bathtub in the bedroom was rarely used. Although it was clean, thinking that Ah Jin would use it today, Ji Huan still carefully cleaned it again and put the water in place. He also put the “lotion” that Ah Jin had bought for Hei Dan before in a conspicuous position.
Ji Huan doesn’t know why, although their appearances are vastly different, and Hei Dan is even afraid of Ah Jin, he just feels that Hei Dan and Ah Jin are quite similar. These two demons get along really well (?). Ah Jin likes these things, so Hei Dan must also like him. Nowadays, when he coaxes Hei Dan, he just needs to add that Ah Jin also likes it, and Hei Dan will always accept it immediately. So, if Hei Dan likes these things, Ah Jin should not dislike them, right?
Although most of the things Hei Dan likes now are quite worthless.
Ji Huan stretched out his hand to test the water temperature and made sure it was OK. He also placed a brand new towel next to the moisturiser before leaving.
“The water is ready.” Pushing open the bathroom door, Ji Huan immediately saw Ah Jin sitting at his desk.
He was reading the book that Ji Huan had left on the table before. It was a book about computer software technology. It was boring and difficult, and it was rare for Ah Jin to actually read it, as if he was reading something interesting.
“Hmm.” Ah Jin put down the book and walked towards the bathroom.
As he walked and unbuttoned his shirt, Ji Huan finally discovered that in some aspects, this man was very casual.
Ji Huan picked up the shirt that the other party had thrown on the ground and hung it aside. He then sat down where Ah Jin was sitting before and opened the same book to read.
The bathtub in the bathroom was not as good as the hot spring. After soaking for half an hour, Ah Jin came out with wet hair, still wearing Ji Huan’s clothes.
Whenever Ah Jin wears his own clothes, Ji Huan always has the illusion that the other person is about the same age as himself.
“Then I’ll go take a shower.” After saying this, Ji Huan brushed past Ah Jin who came out wiping his hair.
Ah Jin only smelled of soap, not the milky scent of Hei Dan’s bottle of lotion.
But when he came to the bathroom, he found that the bottle of lotion was missing.
Ji Huan didn’t think too much and drained the water in the bathtub. He took a quick shower, which didn’t take too long, but it took a little longer to clean up the bathroom. When he came out, the lights outside were already turned off, with only one bedside lamp on, and Ah Jin was sitting on the bed, looking in his direction.
It was very dark in that direction, and Ji Huan couldn’t see the other person’s expression clearly.
But he knew that the other party was looking at him.
Looking at him, without blinking.
Ji Huan felt a bit flustered for no reason.
If it was before, it wouldn’t matter, but after experiencing that dream…
Ji Huan wiped his hair randomly and covered his face with a towel.
When his legs touched the edge of the bed, he heard a clear voice coming from the front.
“Go to sleep.”
Ji Huan quickly turned off the light.
The moment the lights went out, he felt someone hugging his waist.
Not the soft little paws of Hei Dan, equally cold, but a pair of strong and thin, manly arms.
“Don’t… don’t, Hei Dan is still here…” The black-haired young man whispered.
Then a slight tremor came from the chest closely pressed against his back.
That’s the other person laughing.
Only then did Ji Huan realize that Hei Dan had become “independent” today, and he was not in the room right now, leaving only himself and the man.
Next, both of them stopped talking. Ji Huan leaned nervously against the bedside, shivering. The man’s cold hand touched him with the familiar milky scent, and then he was engulfed in darkness.
###
The Green Shade Area is very quiet, but with the demon’s hearing, you can actually detect some movement around you.
In fact, there are people moving around in the surrounding houses, but the really quiet one is only the house in the middle.
The magic foundation of this house is the most powerful, emitting terrifying pressure every day to intimidate the surrounding houses. But every day, it is the first to quiet down.
Today was no exception.
There is no other reason, even if they have come to another world, Ji Huan’s family’s routine has not changed much, and they go to bed very early every day.
Hei Dan is no exception.
He gets sleepy at midnight, and unless he drinks too much water at night, he usually sleeps until dawn and rarely wakes up in the middle of the night.
So when grandpa went to see him after dinner, the little demon had already fallen asleep according to his biological clock.
Then, in the middle of the night, he woke up quietly.
The new green bed was very comfortable, and the new green quilt was also very comfortable, but Hei Dan was still not used to it, especially when he woke up and didn’t find Jiujiu’s big hand, the little demon was confused.
“Jiujiu!”
“Jiujiu!”
He called out twice in a row, the volume was not loud, but in response, the bedside lamp slowly lit up.
↑
As mentioned before, the new furniture that Ah Jin bought was very high-end, and even the light bulbs are voice controlled, while the brightness can be adjusted according to the volume.
As mentioned before, the lampshades of these light bulbs are also the colour specifically designated by Ah Jin, similar to most of the furniture in the room, which is green.
The green light slowly lit up, then turned off, and then lit up again.
Under the light of this weird colour, the croaks in the room seemed to have come to life, one by one, and all the croaks’ eyes seemed to be staring at Hei Dan.
Hei Dan was a bit stiff.
He suddenly became afraid.
He cried twice reflexively, and the light bulbs that had finally returned to darkness lit up on again. As soon as they lit up, the little demon on the bed suddenly saw the mirror on the dressing table opposite.
The mirror that looked extremely gorgeous in the daytime was now reflecting a dark little demon inside.
It looks really, really…..scary at night!
Hei Dan wanted to burst into tears, but halfway through, he suddenly thought of the terrible light bulb that flickers whenever he makes a sound, and then he hurriedly stretched out his little paws to cover his mouth, silently dropping two drops of golden beans.
In fact, he could see the general scene in the house at night without turning on the lights. Now it was obviously more terrifying to turn on the lights, so the little demon did not dare to cry. After crawling on the bed for a while, he tried to climb down.
But—
The new bed is too high!
Moreover, those croaks on the ground looked very unfriendly.
Hei Dan silently dropped two golden beans.
Then he started to climb up again.
Climbing up the bedpost, he climbed to the wall, and then climbed to the glass window. He had only one purpose:
Go to Jiujiu’s side!
The purple moon curved into a dim last quarter moon, which was the darkest night in Yefar.
On this night, the face of a dark demon suddenly pressed against the glass window.
His eyes were huge, his red mouth opened and closed, and with a creak… the glass window suddenly opened, and then he floated out against the glass, and then “floated” towards the next door’s glass.
I have to say that if anyone happens to open the window at this time of night and see this scene, they will definitely be scared to death.
Fortunately, Grandpa and Ji Huan were both asleep at this time, so they didn’t have to be frightened in the middle of the night.
However, for Hei Dan, this is not a good thing.
Outside, clinging to his Jiujiu’s window, seeing the familiar furniture inside, the little demon cried again and pressed tightly against the glass window. He tapped the window with his little paws, once…and twice.
His nails were about to be pierced, scratching against the glass, making a strange and piercing sound.
Ji Huan still didn’t wake up. He was too tired and had fallen asleep.
But the black-haired demon next to him woke up.
In the middle of the night, the big black-haired demon suddenly sat up straight.
He looked in the direction of the sound.
As if sensing someone there, the demon clinging to the glass opened its red mouth and revealed a strange smile.
The big black-haired demon glanced in the direction of the glass, and then got off the bed expressionlessly.
Without any clothes on, he walked over naked and opened the window, picking up the little demon clinging to the glass.
The crying little demon immediately stretched out his little paws and hugged him.
The black-haired demon wasn’t angry after being woken up, and seeing the little demon’s standard “ghostly” appearance, he even chuckled:
“I finally understand why your uncle is not afraid of me. Anyone who is scared by you every day can’t be a coward.”
Poking the little demon’s cheek, he closed the window again, and then hugged the little demon back to bed.
However, when faced with the little demon’s action of stretching out his little paws desperately towards Ji Huan, he chose to ignore it. Ji Huan was sleeping on his left side, so he carried the little demon to his right side and then lay down in the middle.
Just like that, they hugged each other and fell asleep again.
The author has something to say:
Regarding the development between Aunt and Jiujiu:
Ah Jin has a thick shell, and so does Ji Huan.
Two people, one is heartless and loveless, and the other is a young man who has just reached adulthood and has long been burdened with family responsibilities.
Their romance is destined to be different from that of ordinary people.
In the dream, Ah Jin actually drove a car once, and that experience vaguely confirmed something for him. From that moment on, his attitude toward Ji Huan had actually changed.
But that was a dream.
And this time…it is confirmed.
It should be said that Ah Jin is someone who either doesn’t take action or, when he does, has exceptional execution ability, right?
He may not know that this is love, but that little feeling is enough for him to grasp the other person and wrap him under his wings.
It should be said that at this point, the two of them are not truly in love.
Ji Huan is naive, while Ah Jin simply feels he can find some peace in Ji Huan.
They still need further interaction.
Anyway, both of them are beginning to break through their hard shells.
Neither of them are talkative, and sometimes actions speak louder than words.
