Demon King – Chapter 626 – Concern from a Teacher

“Winning enough and then running off to sleep, that’s so trashy!”

Looking at a certain girl who had already crawled into bed hugging a teddy bear and fallen asleep, Ziyu, who had been brutally beaten all afternoon, was full of indignation. Winning and then running away was just too mean, right?

“Alright, she played too hard and overused her brain… let her rest a bit. Her condition wasn’t good to begin with.”

Yuki smiled helplessly. While helping Eiru pull the blanket over her, he also reached over and turned up the power on the air purifier sitting on the bedside table.

“She’s sleeping though. Won’t you make noise doing that?”

With the power turned up, the air purifier began to hum audibly. This move left Jixian and Ziyu both confused.

“Her old problem is still there huh? She really hasn’t changed at all…”

Compared to the other two who did not understand, Jiaqi, as Eiru’s childhood friend, immediately understood Yuki’s intention. He was quite familiar with this little issue of hers. He just did not expect that after so long, the problem was still there.

Simply put, Her Majesty the Demon Lord was always lacking a sense of security, especially when sleeping. An environment that was too quiet not only made it hard for her to fall asleep, it also made her prone to nightmares.

Back in the dorm, whenever she slept, Yuki would also deliberately turn up the noise from the fan or air conditioner. Sounds like these, with a regular rhythm, usually did not disturb other people’s sleep much…

At the same time, they reminded a certain drowsy girl that she truly existed, that she was in a familiar and safe environment. While giving her peace of mind, they also improved her sleep quality.

“That’s way too detailed, way too detailed. Can’t learn it, can’t learn it…”

Being able to notice even this kind of detail, Jixian could only say that Yuki truly lived up to his reputation as a professional male mom.

“Son, when you start paying attention to details like Brother Yuki someday, maybe you’ll be able to bring Yunyue back home then~”

Ziyu reached out and patted Jixian on the shoulder, kicking off another one of his classic suicidal moments.

“You motherfucker…”

And so these two clowns started wrestling again. Of course, considering that a certain girl was sleeping, they did not make too much noise.

“Speaking of which, I heard Little Ya still hasn’t woken up yet. Lu Brat knows about this, right?”

Ignoring the two embarrassing idiots over there, Jiaqi sat down and casually brought up another topic with Yuki.

“She knows. She told me before that Little Eiya wouldn’t wake up for a short time… said something about soul fusion and other messy stuff. I didn’t really understand it.”

“No wonder…”

Jiaqi finally felt at ease. He had been worried that if a certain sister-obsessed maniac heard about this, she might disregard her own condition and run over again. But since she already knew, there was no need to worry too much…

And Eiya’s recovery was going very well. There was little chance of things worsening again. Otherwise, Jiaqi would not have heard any news on his side either. Back when he found out that his parents had hidden Eiya’s hospitalization from her, he had been furious for quite a while.

“What’s she going to do in the future? It probably won’t be possible for her to go back anymore, right…”

“She’ll probably live together with us? But she seems to have her own plans too. When she wants to say it, she’ll naturally say it.”

As he spoke, Yuki reached out and gently rubbed the girl’s head.

Half-asleep and still groggy, the little Demon Lord also felt the kindness and warmth from the hand resting on her head. Letting out cute murmuring sounds, her little head cooperatively rubbed against Yuki’s palm…

……

Weekend time was always fleeting. In the blink of an eye, it was already the dreaded Monday again. Mourning the departed weekend, the students of Seventh High once again began their ‘happy’ study time.

“Teacher Qi, do you have classes later? There are some things I’d like to consult you about.”

Just as she was carrying a stack of textbooks and preparing to return to the office, Qi Rong was suddenly stopped by another teacher. She was familiar with the other party’s identity. It was the homeroom teacher of the Honor Class, the one Yuki and the others referred to as ‘Lao Ban’.

As a new teacher who had just arrived at this school, being approached by a senior like this for a talk honestly made Qi Rong quite nervous. But she could more or less guess the reason the other party was looking for her. It was probably about that Lu Baby again, right?

As an aside, this Lao Ban, who was highly experienced and known as Seventh High’s ace teacher… actually really had the surname Ban. So the nickname Lao Ban was, in a way, rather subtle.

“It’s like this. Because Teacher Qi, you said you’re relatively familiar with that student Eiru… so I wanted to trouble you today to discuss his situation.” Arriving at the office, since neither of them had any classes scheduled for a while, Lao Ban got straight to the point.

“I am relatively familiar, that’s true… but Teacher Ban, you don’t need to be so polite with honorifics. I only just arrived, after all. By rights, you’re the senior here.”

After a few polite exchanges, the two of them got into the main topic. Because they taught the same class, they interacted fairly often, and discussing problems was not particularly stiff or troublesome.

“He hasn’t come to school recently. Although his family helped apply for personal leave… I feel like this matter isn’t that simple, so I wanted to ask Teacher Qi about it.”

Because of the hints at work, Lao Ban could not even remember what Eiru looked like anymore. But he still vaguely remembered the gist of that time he called the student in for a talk, and he was very clear that the child was a good seedling.

After many years in the profession, he had seen plenty of talented children give up their studies due to various family reasons. They usually started with their families helping them apply for leave, so he did not want Eiru to become one of them.

“I don’t actually know much about her family situation either… but I’ve heard she’s the type who isn’t very favored or valued at home. Teacher Ban, if you have any thoughts, you can say them directly. I can also offer some suggestions.”

Lao Ban let out a long sigh and voiced his speculation that Eiru was deliberately hiding her true level. And he was very worried that Eiru’s family might think she was not cut out for studying, and then have her enter society early to work or something like that…

“I can tell he’s a good seedling. I can’t let him just wither like this… I don’t know why he’s hiding it, but this can’t go on.”

“That’s why I say Teacher Qi, you’re relatively young and have more common ground with these kids… I also see you getting along well with students usually, so I wanted to trouble you…”

At this point, Qi Rong understood what the other party meant. Plainly put, he wanted her to get close to Eiru and extract some information, so that as the homeroom teacher he could take appropriate measures.

“I’ll do my best…”

“Thank you for the trouble. I’ll also communicate more with his parents on my side… sorry to trouble you, Teacher Qi.”

……

While the two teachers were discussing Eiru’s family situation, new developments were also unfolding over at Eiru’s home.

Ei Yuan and Liu Wan looked flustered as they hurriedly packed their things after receiving a call from a relative. Upon hearing the news from the other end, they immediately got into the car and rushed toward the hospital…

The reason they were in such a hurry was nothing else. The caller had told them just one thing.

Eiya had woken up.
