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

Her long hair was loose, her clothes were a little messy, and her two long, white legs were dazzlingly white, with a glimpse of her skin peeking out from under her clothes.

Chen Ming frowned, walked over and nudged her shoulder, saying—

"Dongyi? Get up and have breakfast."

"Well……"

Dong Yi was like a corpse, letting him push and shove her, and even tug at her pretty face.

There was no sign of them waking up.

Chen Ming felt utterly exhausted. Seriously? The girl was sleeping so soundly. He wondered if Dong Yi was in such a state that she wouldn't wake up no matter what was done to her.

He thought for a moment, looking at those pale, white thighs...

Snapped!

A slap landed on it.

"Well?"

A red mark appeared on her, but the sword fairy only frowned, her expression showing some pain, but she still didn't wake up.

Really...

So staying up all night is really bad.

Chapter 44 Is my sister coming?

Chen Xiao, dressed in a white lab coat, walked on the clean ground, wearing glasses with a moderate prescription, his hands in his pockets.

stomping on...

A middle-aged woman hurried past her from behind. She quickly stepped aside, nodded, and said—

"Hello, Professor."

"Xiaoxiao."

The middle-aged woman smiled and nodded at her, then suddenly seemed to remember something, took two steps forward, stepped back, looked at Chen Xiao, and said—

"Hey, by the way, do you know what's been wrong with Jiajia lately?"

"Hmm? Jiajia? She's perfectly normal."

Chen Xiao didn't quite understand what the professor was talking about.

The professor covered his cheek with his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said—

"Hmm... She suddenly asked me for leave yesterday, and I wondered if something had happened. You know, I've been quite busy lately, and a lot has happened... She's a sensible girl, so she must have needed to ask for leave. I just wanted to ask if you knew anything about it."

"Huh? Jiajia didn't tell me. She told me she was forced to work as an operator..."

Chen Xiao realized something was wrong and frowned. Could it be...?

The professor, looking at her with some concern, said—

"what happened?"

"Oh, it's nothing, you don't need to worry, she's fine."

"Oh, that's good."

The professor smiled and nodded, then prepared to leave.

Chen Xiao quickly called out to her—

"Um, teacher..."

"Ok?"

The professor turned around.

Chen Xiao looked at her shyly and said—

"Could I... also ask for a day off?"

"Are you also asking for leave?"

"Um, well... my younger brother was in a car accident recently."

"Ouch, are you alright?"

"He's fine, he wasn't hurt at all, but I want to go see him."

"Go ahead, just let me know when you come back."

The professor readily agreed, and Chen Xiao thanked him profusely. His own teacher was certainly more accommodating; even with such a busy project, he still granted him leave.

Chen Xiao hurried back, her brows furrowed. If she wasn't mistaken, Jiajia must have run off to her younger brother's place.

Given her carefree personality, she might end up arguing with Chen Ming.

You, Ning Jia, dared to lie to me and say you were going to do an experiment. I was wondering why you were carrying such a big bag. Turns out you were planning a long trip.

Chen Xiao called Jiajia as he walked. As soon as the call connected, she said—

"Jiajia, where are you now?"

"Me? I'm at the Northwest Laboratory..."

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll take your rabbit to make hot pot."

"No! I... Xiaoxiao, I'm doing this for your own good."

"I'd be grateful if you just didn't cause me any trouble."

"How is this causing trouble?"

Jiajia puffed out her cheeks in the car. She was trying to help her friend find that pretty boy, but she was being scolded. Girls in love really do lose their minds.

Jiajia said—

"Xiaoxiao, you don't need to say anything. I'm going to teach that scumbag a lesson. Bye."

"Hey?"

Chen Xiao covered his forehead.

He glanced at his phone screen, thought for a moment, and then pulled out Chen Ming's phone number.

"Hello? Sister? What's wrong?"

As soon as Chen Ming's voice rang out, Chen Xiao felt a sense of calm dissipate from her mind. She smiled slightly, then, remembering the current situation, frowned and said—

"Chen Ming, I have a friend who might be going to visit you."

"Friend? What brings you here?"

"Um... there's probably some misunderstanding. Anyway, I'm on my way there now. Don't get into a conflict with her."

"A conflict?"

Chen Ming tilted his head. Why did a conflict occur? What happened?

Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell the truth, saying—

"It's nothing, just a small misunderstanding."

Chen Ming didn't press further, nodded, and said—

"ok, I get it."

"Okay, I'll head over there now..."

Chen Xiao said with a smile, however...

"Master, master, who are you talking to?"

"Stop messing around, it's my sister, she said she's coming over."

"..."

Chen Xiao's smile slowly froze.

What's going on? Why was there a woman's voice just now? And what's with that address? What master? Chen Xiao's mind slowly became confused.

Then a woman's voice came through...

"Cerberus, don't bother Chen Ming on the phone, honestly, come here."

The phone seemed to have returned to Chen Ming's hands.

Chen Ming said apologetically—

"Someone was causing trouble just now, but it's all over now. I need to get to work. Is there anything else, sister?"

As Chen Ming spoke, he walked out of the house, but Chen Xiao remained silent on the phone for a long time. He wondered if the signal was bad.

He said—

"Hello? Sister? Are you still there?"

"...Chen Ming."

His sister's voice finally came through, but Chen Ming inexplicably felt a chill. He shivered all over despite the hot weather, as if the air had turned icy cold.

Chen Ming scratched his head and said—

"what happened?"

"...I'll come to you right away."

"Okay okay."

"Take an airplane."

"Ok?"

Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry? Before Chen Ming could finish speaking, his sister had already hung up the phone.

Chen Ming left his sentence unfinished; he wanted to say—

"There are no direct flights from here, so it's probably better to take the train..."

It's not too far from my sister's place.
