Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

"That's my business."

"But……"

Qin Hui was speechless for a moment.

The landlady sighed. She had originally wanted to play a trick on Chen Ming, but it was inconvenient with Qin Hui around, so she decided to let it go for now.

I'll deal with him when I get home.

Qin Hui's eyes flickered uncertainly as she glanced at Chen Ming, seemingly having made up her mind.

……

Chen Ming, still somewhat dazed, first separated from the landlady and the others, because he needed to find a secluded place to turn Cerberus back into human form.

Chen Ming stroked the dog and said—

"Cerberus, don't you think the landlady is a bit like a child?"

"picture."

"So, it's not my fault at all. I always feel like the landlady deliberately set me up..."

Chen Ming's voice gradually softened as he spoke.

What does it mean to deliberately sabotage someone?

Wasn't the landlady at a loss by doing this? What did he lose? He didn't lose anything; he actually benefited.

Why……

Why did the landlady do that?

Chen Ming fell silent.

A girl who doesn't mind being hugged or being overly intimate with someone.

What else could it be?

What other reason could there be besides liking it...?

"Illusions of Life: She Likes Me?" Chen Ming shook his head. "Maybe it's just the landlady playing a trick on me."

He scratched his head in frustration.

Chapter 107 Educating Bad Girls?

Chen Ming was troubled by the landlady's situation, but not wanting to waste any more time, he slipped into a nearby alley and spoke to Cerberus—

"You'd better be careful."

Change for me.

Cerberus said reluctantly—

"I can't call out to my master if I transform myself, and it's too much trouble to hide my tail. I'd better just become invisible."

"Invisibility?"

Chen Ming blinked and said—

"You have this skill too?"

"It's just a disguise to make others ignore me."

"That's good. You can follow me invisibly now."

Wouldn't that mean it can follow you anywhere? Cerberus is such a convenient dog—obedient, sensible, powerful, and reliable…

Although I always cause trouble at home.

Cerberus blinked and said—

"All right."

"It's all better now?"

"Yes, it's not a troublesome thing."

After hearing this, Chen Ming put Cerberus down and ran around in front of others. Sure enough, no one noticed the cute dog.

She wagged her tail and walked back, nuzzling against Chen Ming's trouser leg, and said—

"Alright, Master, let's go."

They went back to the landlady's place.

Seemingly unconcerned about the landlady, she looked at Cerberus, blinked, and asked—

"This is……"

"Shh..."

Chen Ming raised his index finger to his lips, which puzzled the landlady.

Following the landlady's gaze, Qin Hui saw nothing and said—

"Xiaoying, what are you looking at?"

"Hey?"

Seeing that Qin Hui seemed unable to see Cerberus, the quick-witted landlady immediately realized what was going on and said—

"It's nothing. Now that the dog has been found to be cared for, let's go."

She gave Chen Ming a cute wink.

Chen Ming realized once again that the landlady was actually very clever, and was becoming more and more like a little fox.

He smiled slightly.

……

The school is full of kids. They say they're middle school students, but some of them are almost as tall as Chen Ming, which is a bit of an exaggeration.

The kids are getting really good nutrition lately.

So how did the landlady grow up to be such a tiny little thing?

He rested his chin on his hand with a serious expression.

Qin Hui glanced at him and asked—

"Your gaze... don't do anything illegal."

"...When did I become so bad in your eyes?"

"No, it was pretty bad from the start."

Qin Hui looked at this man who had no self-awareness. He had started by deliberately trying to provoke her, calling her an old aunt, and now he knew that Xiao Ying and he were too close...

It's like they snatched her sister away from her; it's no wonder she has a bad impression of her.

Chen Ming glanced at her and said—

"Hmph... Me too, I've had a pretty bad impression of your family from the beginning until now."

"...There's no need to keep bringing it up."

"Why not? I'm very happy that I've been making you feel guilty all this time."

"Tsk, in the end this is our family matter, it's none of your business."

"Why not shut it down? Who does the landlady like more? A woman suddenly showing up at the door might be up to something."

"You... fine."

Qin Hui's momentum waned by half, after all, she was in the wrong no matter what, and she sighed.

The landlady watched the two of them arguing...

For some reason, I felt like it was a conflict between parents with children... She herself was that child.

accurate.

He squinted and said—

"You two, don't drag me into your arguments. One of you doesn't even know what grade I'm in, and the other I haven't seen in years. It seems like we're not that different."

"..."

"..."

Chen Ming and Qin Hui were both deeply stabbed in the heart. How could this girl be so accurate at stabbing people in the heart?

Chen Ming rubbed his heart and looked around.

They all wore Western-style jackets and white shirts; the boys wore ties, and the girls wore red ribbons. The girls wore skirts, and the boys wore trousers.

They all look great. It's no wonder it's a private school that they can use such nice school uniforms instead of wearing big green sacks.

But it probably won't be cheap, right?

Although everyone complains about how ugly the green sack-like uniform is, it's actually the cheapest and most practical school uniform. It's durable, doesn't get dirty easily, and can be used for PE classes or any other day. In the south, it can be worn in both winter and summer, so it's barely considered warm in winter and cool in summer.

Loose pants make it easy to wear leggings underneath, and they're very warm.

The school uniform like the landlady's is only good-looking; it looks great when worn normally, but it gets soaked with sweat. You have to change clothes for PE class, right? You also have to buy a separate sports uniform. And then there's the fact that it gets dirty and tears easily.

Chen Ming used to wear pants to school. If someone fell and tore their leg, the pants wouldn't tear.

The quality is truly excellent.

...Okay, actually I still want nice school uniforms, even if they're a bit expensive, since Chen Ming's family isn't that poor. It would be nice to have nice memories of middle school.

The landlady felt his gaze was strange, shrank her white-stockinged legs, and said—

"What are you looking at?"

"No, I was just thinking about the school uniform."

"I think I heard you mention before that you always had a grudge against that green burlap sack."

The landlady smiled. Everyone loves beauty, and the desire for pretty clothes transcends gender.

Chen Ming said with a smile—
