Demon King – Chapter 53 – During Lunch Break

Both sides were covered with stickers, making it impossible to see any information. They remained silent for a moment, creating quite an awkward atmosphere.

“Can’t guess, can you?” Resting her chin on her hands, the little Demon Lord’s face was full of amusement.

“Well…” Lei Wu was in an awkward position now, rapidly thinking of ways to save face.

“Then I’ll eat first. Senior can take your time guessing~” Spinning her chopsticks in her hand, the little Demon Lord lowered her head to eat the food in front of her.

“I’d actually like to eat with the cute little junior and chat…” Eiru’s reaction sparked even greater interest in Lei Wu, making him more eager to learn about this little junior.

“Huh?” Hearing this, the Demon Lord looked up with a puzzled expression at the person beside her.

Going straight for it? Usually in this situation, she would have already escaped from the awkward situation. What was with this guy?

“What, are you unwilling?” Lei Wu looked at the girl in front of him with an ambiguous smile.

“Not really, since we don’t really know each other.” The little Demon Lord bit her chopsticks while looking at the ceiling with a thoughtful expression.

“Is that so? Then I won’t disturb you for now…” Lei Wu smiled knowingly as he left. But his smile gave the little Demon Lord an odd feeling.

“Strange guy…” After complaining, Eiru lowered her head to continue enjoying her lunch.

Though that guy hadn’t revealed what class he was in, he probably wasn’t from the honours classes… As long as he wasn’t, she had nothing to fear.

As mentioned before, Seventh High specifically placed top-performing honor students in several designated classes. Additionally, as they invested the most resources into them, the school gave them various privileges…

Take the cafeteria for example—Seventh High had two cafeterias. The third floor of Cafeteria One and the second floor of Cafeteria Two were places only honours class students and teachers could enter.

The food there was specially provided—not only was it cheaper than the other cafeterias, but the quality was much better. No honours student would be foolish enough to eat at the ordinary cafeterias…

Oh, except Yuki… That guy often ordered takeout with Jixian and Ziyu, rarely eating at the cafeteria. Knowing that he wouldn’t come, the Demon Lord could eat here confidently.

Besides the cafeteria, the school also favored the honours class students socially. As some students privately complained, at Seventh High, good grades made you royalty.

It was no exaggeration to say that even if honours students beat up students in other classes for no reason, as long as the school could hide it, they might even twist the facts and blame the victim.

Therefore, Seventh High students generally avoided honours class students, afraid of causing trouble for themselves.

But actually, honours students generally had good character and rarely bullied others with their status. The poor relationship between ordinary and honours students was partly fear of the latter, but mostly just psychological differences.

If someone from the honours classes came to harass her, the little Demon Lord should probably be a bit more wary. After all, she didn’t want to cause any trouble—if it reached her family, it’d be over for her.

After finishing her meal and putting her tray and bowl in the collection box, Eiru walked out of the cafeteria in a decent mood. But just as she stepped out, a hand blocked her path…

Looking over, it was Lei Wu again. Though she roughly guessed his intentions, the Demon Lord still stopped to see what he wanted to say.

“Little junior, I just bought a drink at the convenience store. The second one was half price, so if you don’t mind?” Lei Wu handed Eiru a bottle of orange juice with a smile.

“Making friends is fine, but you can’t cross the line.” The little Demon Lord thought for a moment, then crossed her arms in front of her forming an X.

Though it was just speculation and she couldn’t confirm his true intentions, the Demon Lord felt that it was better to give him a warning…

“Don’t worry, I just wanted to be friends with you anyway.” Shaking the juice he offered Eiru, Lei Wu’s smile only grew broader.

“That’s good… but I want that one.” The little Demon Lord pointed at the peach juice in his other hand.

“Okay, okay…”

Taking the peach juice, the Demon Lord unceremoniously opened it and took a sip. Seeing her behavior, Lei Wu’s eyes narrowed and the corner of his mouth curved up slightly.

Lei Wu’s interest in the girl before him grew even stronger. Setting aside her exquisite appearance, the girl’s temperament felt very special—playful, yet well-behaved.

She looked like a clever little fairy, who knew how to read the room and immediately established boundaries from the start. But she was also very easygoing and carefree, accepting his drink without any embarrassment or defensiveness. Whether to call her smart or naive…

“Would you like to sit over there and chat? We can get to know each other properly so we can be friends?” With his own schemes in mind, Lei Wu invited Eiru.

“That’s fine, but don’t you nap during lunch break?” The little Demon Lord really didn’t mind—after all, she didn’t attend classes and had plenty of time.

But the other person obviously wasn’t a class skipping enthusiast like her… For regular students, lunch break was quite precious, right? As the saying went, if you don’t nap midday, in the afternoon you pass away.

“Missing one nap is nothing. But if you’re sleepy, junior, don’t force yourself.”

“No need for that—I don’t nap at noon.” Answering casually, the Demon Lord hadn’t planned to return to the dorm anyway. If this guy hadn’t intercepted her, she would have originally gone to the rooftop to continue sunbathing.

The two found a shady spot to sit, drinking their beverages and chatting simply. Since the Demon Lord absolutely refused to reveal her name, Lei Wu could only give up for now and address her as “junior.”

After chatting for a while, Eiru had gained a general understanding of the person in front of her… if he wasn’t pretending. He seemed quite refined and polite, but always spoke cautiously, appearing to be somewhat calculating.

“Ah wait, let me check my phone.” While chatting, her phone vibrated twice in her pocket. After telling him, the little Demon Lord secretly pulled out her phone to find a message from Yuki.

“Eiru, big trouble. I saw your girlfriend with some guy sitting under the tree behind Cafeteria One, laughing and talking.”

Huh?
