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

The landlady held her head up cutely.

Chapter 33 The Loli's Declaration of War

Go out and have fun.

Although Dongyi knows a lot about society, he doesn't often have the opportunity to buy things because he doesn't have money.

Because I have no job, I have no money.

Seeing Dong Yi's excited expression, he couldn't help but remind him—

"You're still under house arrest."

"So you don't need to be polite, right? Then I'm going to take advantage of you! At least I'll have a milk tea, and... and an ice cream, okay?"

Dongyi's carefully considered wishes totaled less than twenty yuan. Is this what you call ripping people off? What a frugal girl.

He smiled and said—

"Go try on the clothes first, and after you finish this task, I'll take you to the food street."

"Snack street?"

"There will be lots of delicious food. I'll take you on a culinary journey until you're stuffed."

Although it's not very healthy, walking along a street full of food is a very enjoyable thing, and he often walks with his classmates.

I gave up before I even got halfway there.

This small county town also has a food street. There are stalls all the way across from the school, catering to children in the morning and attracting all kinds of people in the evening.

The landlady looked up and said—

"Speaking of which, we drove away a lot of vendors before, but now it seems like there are more of them again."

"I used to think it affected the city's appearance, but now that there are so many unemployed people, it seems like street vendors can help lower the unemployment rate?"

Chen Ming didn't really understand either; it was all hearsay.

He thought for a moment and said—

"I think they're also having some kind of street vendor fair? I heard it's quite lively tonight, should we go check it out?"

However, we still need to focus on doing our best in the present.

Lucifer looked at Chen Ming and said—

"You must have seen it before, right?"

"what?"

"When you're in the sky, you can see a very lively place."

"I don't have your eyesight; at most, I can only see a patch of light."

Chen Ming shook his head.

The four of them walked into a clothing store together. The store manager beamed with joy as soon as he saw Chen Ming, looking like he had found a sucker.

Neither Chen Ming nor Lucifer are good at bargaining, and they buy things based entirely on their first impression, not the price.

As soon as Chen Ming entered, his eyes lit up. His gaze swept over the various skirts and pretty clothes, and he held them up against Dong Yi.

He asked—

What kind of clothes do you like to wear?

"Either is fine."

Dongyi didn't think dressing up was important, so she always wore the same retro school uniform. Of course, she liked pretty clothes, but she always felt that Chen Ming seemed more excited than her.

He handed her two sets of clothes and said—

"Take it in and exchange it. Oh, right, you also need to buy underwear, right? Let the shop assistant take you over there to choose it yourself. I still want to avoid any suspicion."

"oh oh."

Dongyi followed, and Lucifer and the landlady also went over to offer their suggestions.

Men, stop here.

He sighed regretfully.

The fact that dress-up games can't include underwear is a flaw, but if they did, it would be perverted. It would be better if it were a girlfriend or spouse.

Dong Yi came out dressed casually in white shorts, a loose top that exposed his shoulders and legs, and low-top flat shoes.

Brown eyes kept scanning herself, and her waist-length hair was loose.

Youthful and beautiful.

Chen Ming nodded, resting his chin on his hand, and said—

"This one will do, and we'll try these too..."

"Why are there so many?"

"Let's try it first, and then decide whether to buy it or not."

"But……"

"No buts, go ahead, go ahead."

Chen Ming pushed Dong Yi by the back and pushed her into the changing room.

The landlady, who was sitting next to Lucifer, winked and said—

"He can be quite annoying sometimes."

"Yes."

Lucifer nodded in agreement.

The landlady looked at the floor, kicked her shoes on the smooth surface, and said—

"Miss Lucifer... what is her relationship with Chen Ming?"

"It's a relationship between a creditor and a debtor."

Does Chen Ming owe you a lot of money?

No, that's not it.

Lucifer shook his head, watching Chen Ming, who was still enthusiastically choosing clothes for Dong Yi and playing his dress-up game.

She said—

“He feels he owes me something, but he doesn’t actually do, at least I don’t think so.”

A deal is a deal. The only thing that was changed afterward was the condition he insisted on. She never thought of using his kindness to get something in return.

The landlady smiled and said—

"I see... This must be very troublesome, right?"

"Ah."

Lucifer smiled helplessly.

The landlady glanced at him furtively, a nostalgic look on her face, and said—

"It's always been like this."

"before?"

"When that guy moved in, he said he didn't have any money and would have to pay the rent later. He asked if I could let him move in first, and I agreed. Then things got complicated."

"Is he not going to pay me back?"

"No, I paid the money a few days later. But afterwards, he would often knock on my door, asking me to come over for meals and saying things like he was being taken care of by me."

The landlady wrinkled her nose and said—

"Actually, I suspect he was just trying to pat someone's head... Just kidding, it's because he's really a nice person, he wants to help anyone who's feeling down."

Lucifer thought of himself and the driver who almost killed Chen Ming. No matter who was in trouble, it seemed that Chen Ming had indeed offered a helping hand.

Follow your heart within the limits of your ability.

Lucifer looked at the little girl beside him. How difficult must it be for her to live independently without any family by her side? He couldn't help but pat her head.

The landlady felt Lucifer's tenderness, yet a trace of sadness welled up in her eyes. She said—

"It's too late."

"What's too late?"

Lucifer was puzzled, but he could detect a hint of sadness in the landlady's voice.

The landlady placed her hands on her knees, clenched them slightly, and said—

"I'm too late... I originally thought that someone as clueless as him might be alone for a long time..."

"..."

Lucifer could tell that after a long period of being alone, this meddlesome, gentle fellow had suddenly appeared.

Approach with kindness, warm hearts with care, and dispel loneliness with companionship.

really……

"You like it, don't you?"

Lucifer asked the question, though he didn't say the name, it was already so obvious.

The landlady bit her lower lip, looking at Lucifer beside her. He was so stunning and mature, while she herself was just a child who couldn't take responsibility for herself.

They don't even qualify as enemies.

"Lucifer, landlady, what do you think of this dress?"

Chen Ming, that big idiot, didn't notice the two girls were discussing something serious and grinned as he leaned in. Lucifer glanced at him and said—

"Chen Ming, go buy us a drink first."

"Huh? Now?"
