Demon King – Chapter 529 – Sister Yunyue Taking Care of Her Little Sister

But Eiru was not the type to casually doubt others either. Otherwise Yuki would not be worrying all day long about this silly girl getting lured away by sugar-coated bullets… So Yunyue’s text message merely planted a seed in her heart, nothing more.

To be fair, Xuenan had treated her quite well. Her first reaction was still to think that maybe Yunyue had some conflict or misunderstanding with the other party. But when she thought about it again, Yunyue did not really seem like the kind of petty person who would hold grudges.

So the next day, the little Demon Lord went to find Yunyue, wanting to ask about what kind of relationship those two actually had. But right from the start, Yunyue threw a heavy bomb at her…

“What? You’re roommates in the same dorm? Then why have I never heard you mention this before? If you’d said it earlier, a lot of things would’ve been way easier to handle!”

Before this, the entire 1503 dorm had been racking their brains over Jixian, constantly worrying about how to get closer to Xuenan, how to probe her thoughts and help Jixian strategize his pursuit.

If they had known earlier that Yunyue was Xuenan’s roommate, why would they have needed to risk being misunderstood by Jixian, or even go through the trouble of throwing the dorm’s prettiest girl out there to test her?

“You never asked me. And besides, you didn’t even know who your desk mate for an entire year was. How do you have the nerve to say that?”

Yunyue still held a bit of a grudge over this. No matter who it was, having someone sit next to you for a whole year without knowing your name was honestly pretty hurtful.

“Ah, about that… sorry~”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord stuck out her tongue guiltily.

“I barely ever went to class. I definitely won’t do that anymore!”

“We’re not even desk mates anymore, okay…”

“How is that possible? Desk mates for a day, desk mates for life!”

Grabbing Yunyue’s hands as she expounded on her strange theory, this earnest yet clumsy way of trying to please a girl made Yunyue unable to hold back her laughter.

“You know, I’m aware you were raised as a boy since you were little, but you really do not understand girls’ feelings at all. Though honestly, you won’t need to understand them in the future anyway…”

Like an older sister, she gently stroked the other’s head. That old one-sided crush had already become a thing of the past. The current Yunyue no longer viewed her as a boy.

Even though she felt a bit nostalgic about the boy named Eiru she used to like, now she mostly saw the girl in front of her as an immature little sister, or a close girlfriend who needed looking after.

Unfortunately, this little sister had already been snatched away by her former good brother through proximity advantage. Yunyue had originally wanted to teach her not to be so easily whisked away by boys, but in the end she could only swallow those words back down.

“Maybe you think I’m badmouthing her, but honestly, Gao Xuenan is the type who’s really good at putting on a front. One face in public, another behind the scenes.”

Yunyue did not forget the question Eiru had just asked, and laid out everything she knew about Xuenan.

“She never developed any feelings for Jixian at all. Even though she thinks he’s a decent person, deep down she actually rejects all men… she’s just coveting the care and concern Jixian gives her.”

“Huh? Wait, with Stupid Yuki, I also… I think I might also be coveting Stupid Yuki’s concern for me…”

Her voice grew smaller and smaller. Yunyue’s description suddenly made the little Demon Lord associate it with herself, her head lowering as well.

No feelings in the heart, thinking the other person is nice, coveting their care.

‘Isn’t that exactly me? If that’s the case, if I do not hurry up and fall in love with him, wouldn’t I just be stringing Stupid Yuki along, wasting his feelings and his time?’

“You’re different. You and Yuki have already confirmed your relationship. And you’re always thinking for his sake. Isn’t that also a pure kind of feeling? What I’m talking about is that Gao Xuenan has no feelings for Jixian at all.”

Pulling Eiru onto her lap to sit, Yunyue patiently explained these things to her. Yuki had come to her before as well, asking her for advice about this silver-haired girl.

From Yuki’s account and her own prior understanding, Yunyue had already grasped what kind of relationship these two actually had. At the same time, from Yuki’s descriptions, she also learned about the problems Eiru was currently carrying.

“I don’t know whether you’ve fallen in love with Yuki or not. Let’s just assume you haven’t. But don’t see love as some kind of fair and equal transaction. It’s not like just because Yuki gives you a certain amount of care, you have to repay him with the same amount. What matters is the heart.”

Holding the little girl’s hands, Yunyue pressed them against her own chest.

Everyone’s abilities, personalities, and circumstances are different. Influenced by all kinds of environments, everyone’s standards for understanding things are different. In Yunyue’s eyes, this girl’s biggest problem was that she viewed herself, and the things she gave, as far too insignificant.

Just like parents raising children. Some families are poor, and when the child is young, the parents exhaust all their strength just to barely get by. When the child grows up and achieves success, they give their parents dozens of times more in material return. Although the material level is completely different, in essence, when it comes to intention, it can still be said to be equivalent.

“Hey, I’m not his son! What you said makes me sound like I’m at a huge disadvantage!”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord puffed out her cheeks. Between boys, the thing they could least accept was having someone take advantage of them in terms of seniority. Naturally, she was no exception.

“So after telling you all that, this is the only thing you paid attention to?”

Yunyue genuinely did not know what to say anymore. This idiot’s thought process was truly something else.

‘Li Yuki, I really did my best. Your little girl is truly unteachable. You’d better explain things to her using a guy’s way of reasoning…’

Yunyue gave a wry smile as she rubbed Eiru’s head, even having the urge to pry it open and see what kind of bizarre structure was inside.

“But parents to children? That’s something only other families have, right… Oh, Little Ya is still okay. It’s just me.”

Muttering to herself in a voice only she could hear, the little Demon Lord gave a self-mocking smile, her hands also grabbing the two hands currently messing with her head.

“Did you say something just now?”

“No, nothing… Yunyue, I did listen to what you said. I’ll go back and think about it properly.”

Her head was a mess for the moment. Once she thought about those two extremes back home, Eiru’s heart started to hurt.

“No rush. Clear your head and relax. Love is supposed to be something light, joyful, something that brings happiness. Don’t pile strange pressure onto yourself.”

Following Yunyue’s advice to empty her mind, Her Majesty the Demon Lord leaned back against her and stared blankly into space. The person behind her casually tidied up her exceptionally nice-feeling hair. Under the gentle breeze, the way they were together looked just like an older sister taking care of her younger sister, forming a scene that felt comforting just to look at.

But this peaceful atmosphere did not last long. Soon, an uninvited guest noticed the scene over here. With hurried footsteps approaching, Eiru and Yunyue both noticed the figure walking toward them.

“You two? What’s going on here… you know each other?”
