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

"Just as I thought."

"...Xiaoying, you're quite the actress. I even thought I might have made a mistake."

Yuqian couldn't help but complain that no matter how she tried to probe, the landlady didn't reveal anything, until she inexplicably bumped into her and Chen Ming taking a walk...

They were also walking a dog.

Yu Qian glanced at the dog in the landlady's arms and couldn't help but shudder.

The landlady blinked, glanced at her sister Cerberus in her arms, and smiled as she said—

"Yuqian, you don't need to be so scared."

"Um……"

How could she be so sure she wasn't afraid? This dog is a very powerful boss, especially since Yuqian was once disciplined by it. Even after the explanation was cleared up, she would still subconsciously feel a little uneasy.

The landlady looked at her, thought for a moment, then took her hand and placed it on Cerberus's ear, letting her touch it, and said—

"So? Isn't Cerberus cute? Not scary at all, actually a little silly... Ah, don't say that to her face."

The landlady put her hand to her mouth as if to whisper something, and winked mischievously.

"This……"

Yuqian looked at the little dog lying on the bed, and stroked its head, feeling its soft and comfortable texture.

"Um..."

The dog made cute sounds, and its ears and tail twitched.

Okay, it does seem quite cute...

Yu Qian's eyes lit up, a little conflicted. Who doesn't love an adorable dog? But this is supposed to be a very capable senior. Isn't this a bit disrespectful?

Cerberus's oppressive rain still lingers.

The landlady looked at her with a mixture of fear and affection, and said with a smile—

"Actually, even though Cerberus is powerful, she does have weaknesses."

"weakness?"

"That's right, you can't eat chocolate."

"chocolate?"

Yu Qian blinked. The mighty Cerberus, who can probably even drink lava, why can't he eat chocolate?

The landlady chuckled to herself—

"Yeah, Cerberus gets an upset stomach after eating chocolate. She turns into a jetpack fighter and is completely exhausted. It's hilarious."

"..."

Yuqian felt a sense of magic. Was chocolate really that powerful? How did it compare to Wallace?

Speaking of which, Xiaoying, aren't you worried that Sister Cerberus will be angry if you dig up someone's dark history like this? A bead of cold sweat trickled down Yuqian's forehead.

However, Yuqian laughed at the landlady's disrespectful behavior. Perhaps Cerberus really wasn't the stingy kind of dog.

She felt relieved and gently stroked the dog's white fur.

The landlady looked at her and said—

"Should I turn off the lights?"

"Ah."

So the landlady turned off the light, and then she discovered that there was only one blanket, but luckily it was big enough for the two little girls.

They huddled together, foreheads close together, knees and delicate feet pressed together, the two little girls staring at each other with their big eyes.

"Pfft."

For some reason, they all chuckled softly.

Feeling the landlady's warmth, Yuqian's eyes sparkled as she said—

"It's been a long time since I've had this."

"what?"

"It's been so long since I've slept with someone else..."

Yuqian's voice carried a hint of joy, but deep within it lay a long-suppressed loneliness.

"..."

The landlady's smile faltered slightly; she deeply resonated with Yuqian's words. When she was always alone, she fell asleep each night in solitude, the darkness of her room chilling her heart.

Until he appeared...

His gentleness was influencing her as well. The landlady smiled slightly, reached out and took Yuqian's hand, pressing her forehead against Yuqian's, and said—

"Siqi lives with you, but doesn't sleep with you?"

"No."

"Then move in with me and get rid of that useless Zhou Siqi."

"Hey……"

The landlady hugged Yuqian, her petite frame tugging at her heartstrings. Yuqian felt the landlady's warmth, smiled slightly, and said—

"Okay, anyway, we're both magical girls, so we can take care of each other."

Sharing a secret can bring people closer together.

The landlady smiled and said—

"Zhou Siqi may become the biggest loser."

……

"Achoo!"

The dark-skinned girl sleeping at home suddenly sneezed, scratched her stomach, turned over, and continued sleeping.

She was unaware that her roommate was about to be taken away.

……

Yuqian felt the person beside her and smiled, saying—

"so good."

"what?"

"Xiaoying is like a sister to me..."

"..."

Listening to Yuqian's heartfelt confession, the landlady couldn't help but narrow her eyes. Deciding to play a trick on her classmate, she smiled and said—

"What about Chen Ming?"

"Hey?"

How do you feel about him?

"Um...it's like..."

Yuqian lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and said—

"Just like a father..."

The landlady smiled and said—

"Do you know what kind of relationship you have with me?"

"what?"

Yuqian tilted her head.

The landlady hugged her, patted her back, and said—

"You're just like my good daughter, call me Mommy now."

"???"

Yuqian looked completely bewildered.

what is this?

I treat you like a sister, but you want to be my mother?

Yuqian was momentarily stunned, her mouth slightly open, her head tilted, and she looked completely bewildered.

"Xiaoying, you..."

"..."

The landlady gave Yuqian a deep look, then smiled and said—

"Go to sleep."

"oh oh……"

Yuqian responded in a daze, and then the two girls hugged a dog and closed their eyes to sleep.

But Yuqian's mind was still involuntarily filled with the landlady's words...

Xiaoying thinks I'm her daughter? What does that mean? Does Xiaoying want to be my mother? And a mother... is that like a father's wife?

Ok?

A question arose in her mind.

Before she could figure it out, Yuqian slowly fell asleep. With someone by her side, she slept more peacefully.
