Demon King – Chapter 514 – An Annoying Call

Too suspicious. They had clearly already acknowledged each other, yet she still claimed she did not remember having any close childhood friend or childhood sweetheart. She even denied the vague description of a childhood playmate. Logically speaking, that already made no sense at all.

If you said it was because of shyness, then the way she and Jixian usually interacted so intimately was completely incompatible with being low-key. Judging from her behavior, even if she wanted to deny anything related to romance, there was absolutely no reason to deny the identity of a friend, right?

It was just a pity that to avoid arousing the other party’s suspicion, the little Demon Lord did not directly ask Xuenan about the existence of someone like Jixian. Combined with the way she rejected male attention, Eiru could only think of two possibilities.

One was that she genuinely did not take Jixian seriously at all and had never put him in her heart. The second was that she was simply unwilling to bring up this topic. Because of habit, reputation, or even the complexity of discussing the other party, this explanation did fit rather well with her tendency to hide her true feelings.

“I think there are several possibilities. First of all, they might not actually be childhood sweethearts. Xuenan likes Aunt Mu, so she used that identity to get close to him. But this depends on the specific situation when they recognized each other back then. Right now, I can’t really make a judgment.”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord analyzed calmly and laid out a possibility no one had ever considered.

“That makes sense. Aunt Mu really is extremely obsessed with his childhood friend.”

Yuki nodded.

“That’s something a lot of people know. You could even call that obsession infatuation, right?”

Whether it was looks, personality, or family background, Jixian was outstanding in every aspect. A guy like him, plus the label of a top student, attracting the favor of several girls was not strange at all.

Just among the ones Yuki and Ziyu knew about, there were already no fewer than five or six girls who had openly or subtly expressed their interest in Jixian, or even consulted them about it. And Jixian had politely rejected every single one of them, focusing solely on waiting for his childhood sweetheart.

The two of them had even joked about it. What if he never found her? Would Jixian end up dying alone? Would a statue of a man gazing for his wife, no wait, gazing for his childhood sweetheart, pop up on the riverbank someday?

Waiting blindly for a childhood playmate whose name he did not even know, with almost no clues at all. How was that any different from looking for a needle in the ocean?

Faced with all the teasing and questions, Jixian’s attitude had always been simple. He was going to wait. Unless it was confirmed that he absolutely could not be with her, he would not give up on this obsession, nor would he consider or look for any other girls.

So when they learned that Jixian had finally found his childhood sweetheart, the joy Yuki and Ziyu felt was no less than his own. Their brother’s long wait finally had a result. How could they not be happy for him?

That was also why they became extremely nervous when they heard about Jixian getting scammed. They even temporarily elevated the matter to the number one priority of Dorm 1503. The entire dorm had been racking their brains over Jixian.

“Of course, there are many other possibilities. I really hope this theory is wrong. If it’s true, then once it gets exposed, wouldn’t both of them feel extremely awkward and uncomfortable?”

Eiru scratched her head. She put this possibility first precisely because it felt way too awkward.

“The second one is…”

“Xuenan being immature, stringing Aunt Mu along. She’s greedy for his care and affection but doesn’t dare take the step into a relationship, right? That’s why she doesn’t even dare to acknowledge Aunt Mu’s existence?”

Yuki smiled and said what his little girlfriend was about to say. This was the conclusion the entire dorm unanimously felt was the most likely. If that was true, then a certain girl would have to work overtime again.

“Mm, mm. Everything else would be assuming the worst, all based on the premise that Xuenan doesn’t like Aunt Mu and treating her as a scummy girl. It’s better not to think like that. Guessing negatively about others is impolite.”

After spending these few days together, Xuenan’s impression on Eiru was still pretty good, so naturally she would not suspect a girl she already considered a friend in that way.

“But the way she’s been teasing me these past few days has made me start wondering if she’s actually a lesbian…”

Getting relentlessly flirted with until her face turned red, only for the other party to suddenly add that it was just a joke. Thinking of that, the little Demon Lord puffed out her cheeks.

“Well, you have me, don’t you? I trust you know what to do. But don’t relax your guard just because the other party is a girl, okay? I don’t approve of you having a boyfriend and then adding a girlfriend on top of that.”

Yuki pinched the girl’s cheeks in front of him. He trusted her judgment, but just in case, he still reminded her in a joking tone.

“I’m very loyal. I absolutely won’t cheat. But speaking of which, don’t I still have a male body? Getting a girlfriend or something wouldn’t really be too excessive, right? Hehe.”

While stating her stance, the little Demon Lord also teased Yuki back in the same joking tone. Immediately, the force tugging on her cheeks increased.

“Being cheeky? Keep being cheeky?”

“That’s not fair. I didn’t pull your cheeks!”

“Because you’re the bottom, my precious Lu Brat.”

“Get lost! Even though I’m lazy and like being passive, I’m not the bottom! Who says that about their own husband?!”

While the two of them were flirting and bickering, the phone Eiru had placed on the table suddenly rang. And after seeing the incoming number on the screen, the loli who had been lively just a moment ago immediately frowned.

“What’s wrong? Who is it? And why don’t you save numbers? Isn’t it tiring to remember pure digits like that?”

Seeing her reaction, Yuki also put away his playful mood and became curious about the call.

“You know how I am. Once I remember a number, I delete the contact name. Of course, except for you…”

The little Demon Lord had been about to hang up, but suddenly seemed to think of something and reached out to tug at Yuki’s clothes.

“Alright, alright. Answer it. I’ll listen with you.”

Their tacit understanding did not need words. Yuki immediately understood what the girl in his arms was thinking. He held her small hand in return, guessing the identity of the person on the other end of the line.

After pressing answer and turning on speaker mode, Eiru wrapped her arms around the person behind her and waited for the caller to speak. Judging from her expression, she looked like she wanted to stir up trouble.

“Hello, hello? Is that Lulu? How have you been lately?”

The frivolous voice from the other end of the phone instantly made Yuki feel annoyed.

For some reason, Yuki now desperately wanted to obtain a superpower. The ability to slap the other party across the face through the phone.

“Pretty okay. What do you want?”

The little Demon Lord replied in a lukewarm tone, but a scheming smile hung on her face. Stupid Yuki is right here.

‘If you try to mess with me today, you’re dead.’

“Well, you said before that you were going to buy a gift for your boyfriend. Do you still remember that?”
