Demon King – Chapter 477 – Yuki’s Parents’ Past

“She said… she’s not coming back to the dorm for dinner today. Told you to let me know. Said I shouldn’t worry?”

Faced with Jiaqi’s explanation, Yuki revealed a dangerous expression.

‘What are you two doing behind my back?’

You stupid girl, this move of yours is suspicious to the extreme. How am I supposed to cover for you. Cursing in his heart, Jiaqi was also getting a bit spooked by the way Yuki was staring at him.

But Jiaqi quickly adjusted himself again, because he suddenly realized something. He had not done anything shady. What was there to be scared of. If something really blew up, let that stupid girl carry the blame herself.

“She said she had something to take care of. What exactly, I don’t know… anyway, I’m just passing on the message.”

He spread his hands and put on an indifferent attitude. Even though he said that out loud, he was actually very worried about Eiru inside.

As her childhood friend, even though being separated by going abroad meant he did not understand Eiru as well as before, the foundation was still there. Eiru’s abnormal behavior this time really bothered him.

You could say that right now, just like Yuki, he was also restraining the urge to rush over and grab the girl back.

But Eiru was not the type of willful child who would deliberately hide things and refuse to let them get involved. Either the matter was special and inconvenient for the two of them to interfere, or it carried a certain level of danger. Damn it, thinking about it like this just made him even more worried.

‘Should I just team up with Yuki and go grab her back directly…’

While struggling internally, Jiaqi was thinking about which side he should jump to, but his gaze caught the sight of the silver-haired girl guarding warrior in front of him already unable to sit still and standing up.

“Jiaqi, I believe you know what to do…”

Yuki reached out and picked Hulu off Jiaqi’s head.

“Lu Brat’s ability to get things done is reliable, but you also know… that’s limited to other people’s business.”

Yuki’s meaning was very clear. He could obviously tell that Jiaqi was hiding a lot of things. He wanted Jiaqi to combine the information he had and judge the nature and target of what his little girlfriend was doing this time.

If she was helping someone else, this girl would go all out and handle every step properly. But if it was for herself, then it would be all reckless nonsense and stupidity, guaranteed to cause problems.

So it was enough to look at Jiaqi’s attitude. If he acted indifferent, that meant Eiru would not run into trouble. If he defected to Yuki’s side, then things were simple. The two of them would go over together to help, and once things were done, they would grab her back and stuff her into an ansai waist drum.

“Forget it, I’ll tell you… it’s like this.”

After a brief struggle, Jiaqi still chose to sell out a certain girl. She had dumped both Hulu and Eiya onto him. Even if nothing went wrong, there was definitely going to be trouble.

In Yuki’s home, Officer Li, who had rarely managed to get a day off, was sitting on the living room sofa, flipping through an album from who knows what era.

“What are you looking at? Hungry or not, want me to cook something for you?”

Yuki’s mother was also rarely home today. Seeing her partner flipping through a familiar looking album, she leaned her head over curiously.

“Aren’t these photos from when we were kids, all together at the orphanage… why are you looking at this. Feeling nostalgic?”

She spoke half jokingly and then lost interest and looked away.

As a career driven woman, compared to reminiscing about the past, she cared more about her present and future. Not to mention that her days living in the orphanage as a child were not exactly good memories.

“Do you remember her? Sigh… it’s been too long, I’ve already forgotten her name…”

Officer Li suddenly pointed at a little girl in one of the photos and asked his partner.

“It’s been too long… I don’t remember either.”

Following where he pointed, Yuki’s mother also sighed.

“I remember you two were really close back then… what a pity.”

“When we were kids, she was basically my only good friend… and because of this hair, you boys didn’t exactly treat the two of us nicely either.”

Yuki’s mother brushed her silver white long hair aside and directly dug up Officer Li’s childhood black history.

“Ahem… you still remember that.”

Officer Li looked awkward. Having this suddenly brought up by his partner caught him completely off guard.

“Of course. I’m going to remember you for my whole life.”

Yuki’s mother smiled. Even though the content sounded like a threat or warning, it carried a bit of a sweet tone.

Silver white hair was extremely rare, and Yuki’s mother just happened to have such a rare head of silver hair. Yuki’s hair color was inherited from her.

It had to be said that the two of them really were mother and son. Both had suffered quite a bit because of their hair color. But Yuki’s mother’s situation was simpler. It was purely children rejecting things that were different around them, causing her to suffer endless pranks and bullying in the orphanage.

As for Yuki’s mother’s personality… how to put it. She was extremely stubborn and fierce. When faced with bullying, she did not back down at all. She fought back on the spot, even getting into full on scuffles with those kids.

Embarrassingly enough, Officer Li as a child was also one of those bratty kids who bullied her. So this couple really did grow up with fists meeting fists, fighting with each other all the time.

Sometimes, feelings were just that strange. As they kept fighting, he inexplicably started to like his nemesis.

But kids did not understand many things. In truth, a lot of bratty kids only wanted attention. Young Officer Li was the same. In order to get her attention, he was almost the one who bullied her the hardest among all the kids, and naturally also the one who fought with her the most.

Another girl who shared the same situation as Yuki’s mother was also there. She also had silver white hair. But the difference was that because she was physically weak and had a gentler personality, she mostly just silently endured the bullying instead of fighting back like Yuki’s mother.

Two girls in the same situation naturally huddled together and became each other’s friends. But because a certain fierce tomboy was always drawing the fire, the other girl actually did not suffer as much bullying as she did.

As they grew older, the children gradually became more sensible. Bullying and fighting became much less common. But because of habits and perceptions formed from a young age, aside from Officer Li who had developed feelings for Yuki’s mother, the other kids still disliked the two silver-haired girls.

Officer Li also continued his habit of teasing and bullying the two of them from time to time. Back then, he treated it as entertainment and never realized anything wrong with his behavior.

Yuki’s mother had no solution for this either. She could only keep up her fierce resistance, protect her friend behind her, and never give him a good look.

This nemesis relationship between the two lasted for a long time, until an accident happened. The other girl suddenly fell gravely ill and entered a life threatening state.
