Demon King – Chapter 471 – Inside a Girls’ Dorm Room…

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the weekend again. On Saturday night, in one of the dorm rooms of Seventh High’s girls’ dormitory building, a girl happened to return from outside…

“You’re back, Xuenan?”

One of the girls in the dorm was hanging clothes out on the balcony. Seeing her roommate come back, she casually greeted her.

“Mm…”

came a cold response. Judging from the interaction between the two, the relationship in this dorm room did not seem very harmonious.

If a certain girl were here right now, she would notice that both girls present were actually people she knew… the one hanging clothes was none other than Yunyue, the former deskmate who had once secretly had a crush on Eiru back when she was still in her male state.

“The other two went home?”

After putting down her bag, Xuenan glanced around the dorm and did not see the other two roommates.

“Yeah, it’s the weekend… basically everyone went back.”

After finishing hanging the clothes, Yunyue put away the basin in her hands and walked back into the dorm. But after catching the scent lingering in the air, she suddenly frowned.

“You drank again?”

“Yeah… but not much. I just went out to have fun with friends.”

Xuenan sat down on a chair, holding up a can of beer.

“In today’s society, if you don’t drink a little, it’s almost embarrassing to say you’re friends, right?”

“If you can, you should still drink less. I don’t know whether your friends are guys or girls, but if they’re guys, it’s better not to drink with them.”

Sitting back in her own spot, even though their relationship was not great, they were still roommates after all, so Yunyue kindly reminded her.

“What does that have to do with you? Unlike you guys, I started school a year later and I’m already an adult now… logically and legally, I can drink however I want, okay?”

Yunyue’s reminder instead triggered Xuenan’s dissatisfaction. Someone younger than me and with no popularity, why are you meddling so much?

“And let me tell you, the guy I go out with doesn’t even drink… saying he’s afraid if both of us get drunk we won’t be able to get back, and that he has to look after me and all that. Don’t you think a guy being this weak is kind of bad?”

Taking a gulp of beer, Xuenan felt that guys who did not drink at all were rare these days.

“Maybe he really cares about you, but it could also be that he’s waiting until you’re drunk to take you away… you should still be more careful.”

She reminded her coldly. Xuenan’s unfriendly tone made Yunyue feel uncomfortable as well.

“I’m not even drinking that much. Is it fun for you to curse me like that?”

“I’m just reminding you…”

The tense atmosphere between the two made Yunyue feel helpless too. To be honest, she had once wanted to get along better with Xuenan, but in the end she gave up.

This kind of situation was very common at Seventh High. After all, not every dorm could be as harmonious as the one where Eiru and Yuki lived. In the generally chaotic environment of this school, the so-called thank your roommates for not killing you was the norm. A dorm like 1503 was the exception.

That was why, when Yuki first heard that Eiru was going to live on campus, he went to great lengths to pull her into his own dorm. Otherwise, with someone’s reputation and popularity, she would have been excluded in other dorms in minutes to the point of doubting her life.

Seventh High was indeed not a good school. For the school itself, it was enough to ensure the learning environment of a few elite classes. As for the rest of the students, they simply did not care.

The disparity in treatment, plus the presence of a small number of people like Lei Wu who relied on privilege to bully others, led to extremely serious infighting among the students…

Those who did not study banded together and formed cliques. Good students did not want to associate with the lower groups. Ordinary students stuck in the middle were treated like trash from both sides.

Even so, Seventh High still maintained a decent advancement rate. Of course, this relied on screening tactics such as expelling troublemaking students and repeatedly calling in weak students to persuade them to drop out.

Luckily, Eiru’s family had helped smooth things over with some connections, and the school also had plans to recruit Huiya. So as long as that girl did not cause any major trouble, the school did not really plan to manage her.

“I’m telling you, that Jixian… how should I put it, he’s actually a pretty good person, just a bit dense.”

Maybe because she had drunk a little too much, and since there was only Yunyue left in the dorm, Xuenan suddenly started rambling.

‘Jixian? Xuenan went out with him?’

Hearing the familiar name, Yunyue, who had been half-lying on the bed reading, raised her head and shifted her attention to Xuenan.

“He’s really nice. He often buys me things, and we usually go out together a lot… he’s also one of the few people who tolerates me secretly drinking.”

As if talking to herself, Xuenan poured out her thoughts, then put down the beer can and slumped over the desk.

“And then?”

Yunyue put down the book in her hands. She had not been interested at first, but since it involved someone she knew, she had to admit her curiosity had been stirred.

“The people around me really hate that I drink, even though I only drink a little… but Jixian is different. He doesn’t care at all, and even says it’s one of my cute sides or something.”

‘I get it now. Jixian likes you…’

Yunyue’s mouth twitched slightly. Having once been in love herself, she understood that mindset well. When you like someone, even their flaws become charms.

“So are you two dating?”

“No, we’re just friends… although I can tell he likes me, I don’t really have any romantic feelings for him.”

Xuenan waved her hand, indicating that Jixian was not her type.

“I see… then I suggest you make your attitude clear. Otherwise, if he misunderstands, what you’re doing is basically leading him on.”

Having heard that her roommate had no interest, Yunyue lost any desire to gossip. She left that advice and picked up her book again.

“Are you stupid? If I tell him I don’t like him, he’ll definitely turn hostile… then who’s going to pay when I want to buy things?”

Xuenan looked at her like she was an idiot.

“So you’re basically treating him as your wallet?”

Even if she did not know whether Xuenan was joking, the overwhelming sense of déjà vu made Yunyue mutter this sarcastically.

“You could say that. Anyway, I let him hold my hand and make him happy, didn’t I? Everyone benefits. Why not?”

“…”

Hearing this, Yunyue did not know what to say for a moment, but a sense of disdain quietly rose in her heart.

“Right now our relationship is great. When we go out, buy things, eat meals, he pays for everything. If I drink a bit too much, he even acts as my bodyguard…”

Xuenan kept talking, completely unaware of Yunyue’s expression.

“If I tell him I don’t like him, he definitely won’t be willing to keep doing all this. Then I’d suffer a huge loss. And it’s not like I didn’t give him anything in return, right…”

At this point, Yunyue no longer wanted to deal with the drunk below her. Out of sight, out of mind. She put on her headphones and turned on some music, blocking out the annoying voice entirely…
