However, every time she returned to this empty house, she felt like something was missing and felt a little lonely inside.

"Pah."

Yuyi put down her schoolbag and without even turning on the light, she walked to the refrigerator carrying the gifts given by her neighbors. She opened the door and white mist poured out. With the help of the faint, cold light, she sorted out the things inside.

"Okay, we're finally done cleaning up. We need to cheer up, there's still a lot to do."

After closing the refrigerator door, Yu Yi saw her own reflection above. She looked very depressed. She slapped her face hard and forced herself to cheer up.

Today, she also assigned herself a lot of tasks.

The first thing is cooking.

As a succubus, Yu Yi actually has no need to eat, but she still worked hard to learn how to cook, and her petite figure is busy in the kitchen.

Soon, dinner was ready.

She divided the food into two portions, and like playing house, she placed the teddy bear on the other side of the table and sat facing it, hands clasped together:

"Ms. Xiong, dinner is ready. Oh, and by the way, we have to pray to the Demon King before we can eat. Thank you for your kindness..."

Yu Yi closed her eyes, said a brief prayer, and then officially started dinner.

"Ms. Xiong, did you know? I got first place in the grade again today!"

...

"But they were all jealous of me and suspected I was cheating."

...

"By the way, after school, I had a fight with my classmates. It was clearly their fault, but they actually blamed me. Isn't that too much!"

...

"However, I also admit that my attitude at that time was indeed not very good..."

...

"Should I...go and apologize to them..."

...

“I want to make friends with them…”

...

"..."

...

"That's right, you can't chat while eating. It's impolite. Eat the food quickly before it gets cold."

The moonlight illuminated the empty eyes of the teddy bear. Apart from the faint sounds of chewing and swallowing, the room was filled with an air so silent that it was almost deafening.

After dinner, you have to wash the dishes.

After washing the dishes, take a short break and start cleaning and doing laundry.

When my body starts to sweat a little, I start taking a bath, pinching the little duck floating in the bathtub to relax my body.

After that, I officially start doing homework and reviewing lessons until I go to bed.

Yu Yi packed her schedule so full that she had no time to think about anything else, nor did she have time to notice this overly quiet "home".

"ah.."

However, when she opened her schoolbag and found the document that required her parents' signature, the emotional Pandora's box that had been sealed deep in her heart began to loosen a little.

why...

"Why didn't you just tell the teacher that the parents were gone?"

Yu Yi pursed her lips and stared down at the "Parent Signature" column at the top of the document, her cherry eyes swaying with fragmented light.

Her parents left when she was very young.

Yuyi has never seen her father. According to her mother, he went to find other women and abandoned them here.

Yuyi loved her mother very much, but her mother became seriously ill when she was very young and left her very early.

Time has passed so long that those precious memories have become blurred.

She still remembered the painful expression on her mother's face as she lay on the hospital bed, and herself standing beside her, unable to do anything.

From then on, she was determined to become an excellent adult, save more people in need, and avoid being easily deceived and betrayed like her mother, who was a succubus.

"I really hope that after I'm gone, someone will truly protect Yui-chan."

Yuyi still remembers that her mother touched her hair and said these words with a smile.

Unfortunately, she didn't live to see such a day.

..

..

"Dongdong"

Yu Yi hugged the documents tightly in her arms and knocked on her neighbor's door.

"Who is it? Ah...it's Xiao Yuyi, what's wrong?"

The person who opened the door was a ruffian-looking orc. When she saw Yu Yi outside, she showed a smug smile:

"What? Are you afraid of sleeping alone? I knew you wouldn't last more than a few months if you moved out alone. Don't be shy. When I was 11, I was also scared to death after watching a magical girl movie..."

"No, no, Sister Jackal, I'm here to ask for an autograph."

Yu Yi shook her head and raised the document in her hand.

Sister Jackal is a very respectable sister, about ten years older than her.

When Yuyi was still unable to live on her own, she was often fostered in a neighbor's home. Even though there was a big age gap between them, Sister Chai still often played with her and took care of her silently.

“Is that so…?”

Sister Jackal scratched her face with her fingers and coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment. She had just accidentally revealed her dark history, which made her face slightly red.

"Just an autograph?"

"Ah."

"Is there anything you need help with lately? Living alone must be tiring."

"No, I'm used to it."

"Habit... Well, okay, Xiao Yuyi has grown up."

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Sister Chai seemed to want to keep the neighbor girl, but she didn't know what reason to use.

"Right," she said as she opened the door just then, noticing the scene in the house.

"There's a birthday party today, Xiao Yuyi, come in and celebrate. There's delicious cake to eat."

"B-but..."

"No buts, no need to be so reserved, just come in!"

Just like that, Yu Yi was forcibly dragged into the house to attend the birthday party.

The first thing that catches your eye is the warm candlelight and the cozy scene.

Today is the birthday of Sister Bao’s younger sister, who is about the same age as Yuyi.

The host of the party was sitting in front of the cake, with a small paper crown on his head. Surrounded by his family, he smiled and made a wish to the candles.

"I hope to become an artist and draw a lot of beautiful comics!"

"If you tell me your wish, it won't come true."

"Ah! T-That doesn't count. I'll make a new wish!"

Perhaps infected by the atmosphere, a smile appeared on Yu Yi's face, and she watched the scene in front of her quietly.

perhaps...

This is what home is.

if..

If nothing unexpected had happened at home, would I have been the host of the birthday party and become a pampered little princess?

When the candle flame was blown out, Yu Yi stood in the shadow where the light could not reach, and her smile disappeared for a moment.

"Yuyi, have some cake."

"Ah, thank you..."

An old lady handed the cut cake to Yu Yi with a gentle smile in her eyes.

"Don't be so polite. We've known each other for so many years. You can move back with us anytime. It's okay."

The old lady seemed to have misunderstood the reason why Yu Yi came here, and comforted her with her cane.

"No, no, the school has something that needs the guardian's signature, and I want the old lady to sign for me."

"Just an autograph?"

"Ok!"

"Okay, let me see what it says..."

Chapter 199 Yu Yi 2

"Skip a grade?"

The old lady put on her reading glasses, glanced at the contents of the document, and was slightly stunned.

"This, this is my own request, and the teacher thinks it's fine, so..."

Yu Yi explained the matter in a panic, with her hands on her knees, like a child who had made a mistake, and stared at the "Parent Signature" column on the document with anxious eyes.

"Oh..."

The old lady nodded as if in agreement, but also as if with a sigh.

"I can sign it, but...Yuyi, is this really okay?"

She placed the documents on the table, stared into Yu Yi's eyes, and asked softly.

"No problem, I can definitely keep up with the schoolwork. Staying in my current class will only..."

"That's not what I asked."

"Hey?"

Faced with the old lady's meaningful words, Yu Yi widened her eyes.

"That's not what I'm asking..."

The old lady repeated this sentence, slowly lowered her head, took off her reading glasses, folded them and placed them on the document, and continued:

.

"Yuyi, I know you're a good kid and you're serious about what you do, but... have you really made up your mind?"

She placed her palm on the back of Yu Yi's hand and looked at her silently, with a look of worry in her eyes.

"..."

Yu Yi pursed her lips and fell into silence.

She could feel the old lady's rough, gentle palms, and the tenderness that slowly came over with her body temperature.

But such tenderness was too much of a luxury for her.

"no problem."

Yu Yi forced a smile and chose her own answer.

"That's it..."
