It's late at night, and Zhou Li hasn't come back yet.

Huaixu sat at his desk, holding a short knife in his hand, and approached the light to carefully examine it.

Look, look.

I looked and looked again.

After watching, switch to another one and continue watching.

After it's done, switch back and forth.

The two swords were identical, but after countless battles, they became unique because of the life and death battles - it was obvious that the blade of one was blunt and the notch of the other was more.

Even if it's dull, it can cut iron like mud.

The notch is also too small to see, but it adds serrations to the blade, making it even sharper.

He tried the disposable chopsticks, spoons, and toothpicks next to him, muttering to himself as he tried, "You always say I ordered takeout and didn't want to throw away the garbage. Isn't that useful

Chopsticks break at a touch.

The rest as well.

Huai Xu threw everything into the trash can, then glanced at Zhou Li's needle pen and said, "We've all finished the exam

The creaking sound of the door lock came.

The short knife immediately disappeared from Huai Xu's hand.

He was stunned for a moment and instinctively put back half of the pen.

Immediately, footsteps came from the living room, and then the bedroom door was pushed open, and Zhou Li walked in.

You're back, "Huai Xu said.

Hmm

Zhou Li's voice was very soft. After he turned around and closed the door, he saw half of the pen on the table.

Look down.

Huaixu, the ghost and god, said mischievously, 'It's none of my business!'

Zhou Li's mouth twitched.

Huai Xu finally relaxed and said, "I thought you wouldn't need it anymore. I'll use it to try the knife

Zhou Li smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous? It's only a few yuan, and it's almost finished. Have you tried anything

Quickly

Is that all

They seem to listen to me very much, you see -

Huai Xu paused and two short knives instantly appeared in his hands, then flew out and slowly flew around for half a circle, but did not reach his hands. Instead, they exploded into blue smoke and disappeared, appearing in his hands.

I seem to know how to use them myself

It's already yours, "Zhou Li said, looking both cool and surreal, as if reminding him that there was a fierce competition between humans and demons a long, long time ago, and both sides probably had a difficult time.

By the way, "Zhou Li said," I went to Liu Xuehan's house today, and her cat ran away

Is that so

Huai Xu was somewhat absent-minded.

Later, Zhou Li described to him how sad the little girl was and said, "She even showed me the surveillance footage and the community. That demon did indeed open the door and leave the community on its own, without any intention of lingering

Haha, I knew it would be like this. No demon would be kept as a pet by people all the time

「……」

Huh? What's that expression on your face? "Huai Xu paused for a moment.

It's nothing, "Zhou Li said.

Yes! "Huai Xu was certain.

I'm thinking, looking at you like this, you're completely treating yourself as a demon, "Zhou Li said." I'm afraid you won't be happy if you say it out loud

I

It took Huaixu a long time to say, "I may have only been a human for a few decades, but I have been a demon for two thousand years. I guess I have also lost my memory during this time. Every time I lose my memory, it's like starting over again as a demon

Let's talk about that little demon. I'm telling you, I want to ask you what kind of psychology that little demon is holding

Of course it's just a meal

Why did it leave? "Zhou Li thought to himself," The little girl's home is not bad either.

Then you have to ask it, do you want to ask? "Huai Xu looked at him and said," I'll help you find it, I promise you'll find it

Forget it

Mmm

Zhou Li looked at the three things arranged in a row on the desk, and picked up the hairpin.

Wooden hairpin, without any patterns.

Zhou Li said strangely, "I can't tell if it's a man or a woman, so what are you really

Huai Xu said, "Hold it steady and don't fall

Zhou Li:

Suddenly, Huai Xu snatched the hairpin from his hand and said, "Your younger brother is coming over, and he saw you and couldn't explain it clearly

Dong dong dong.

Zhou Li turned around and shouted, "Come in

The door was opened by a crack, and Zhu Shuang asked, "Do you want to eat turkey noodles

No... eat it

Eating

Hmm

Then I'll cook two more packets

Okay, I'll wash the dishes later

I need it

The door crack closed again.

Zhou Li looked helplessly beside him and said, "That thing is very spicy. Can you eat it

Huai Xu blinked his eyes and said, "I'm in a bad mood right now and I urgently need to add something that can make me happy, otherwise there will be problems. Didn't you hear from Hong Ran that the pacification army is elite? If I become the Great Demon King, have you watched that movie? It's just an old soldier who comes back after retiring from the army, kills all directions, and causes rivers of blood

Zhou Li:

This is a chatterbox.

Zhu Shuang also added two fried eggs to the noodles. Although they were not cooked very well, they brought a strong sense of happiness.

Huaixu had a great time eating.

Zhou Li was chatting with Nan Ge on the side.

Li Damao: My family has launched a new dish of chopped pepper and braised noodles. Have you tried it before?

Zhou Li: Yes, it's fresh and spicy.

Li Damao: Do you remember I told you that my dad's cooking is also super delicious?

Zhou Li: Remember.

Li Damao: I'll give you a taste of my dad's craftsmanship. Will you come?

Zhou Li: Are you planning to open a restaurant at home?

He was somewhat surprised because Nan Ge's noodle shop had been running for many years. When Yan Cheng was not yet established as a city and was still called Yang County, there were only a few dilapidated streets in the entire county. Her noodle shop was already located at that intersection.

It's been so many years, do you want to switch careers?

Li Damao: What's the point? In a few days, Nan Ge, I will be nineteen years old and entering my tenth year. Will you come to my house for a simple meal? I also invited a few classmates from my class and a few from other classes, but not many.

Zhou Li typing——

I have something to do, just

The second message from Nan Ge has already been sent before the words are finished: Don't say you won't come, it's so close, you don't have anything to do, don't delay your evening tutoring, come and communicate with Nan Ge about your feelings, and get along well in the future.

Zhou Li had to slowly delete the words and then posted: Why are you typing so fast?

Li Damao: I learned it through playing games.

Zhou Li: Oh, got it.

Li Damao: [emoji]

Zhou Li turned off his phone.

Beside him, Huai Xu had already taken on his appearance, picked up his bowl and walked out. Zhou Li looked bewildered, but when he regained consciousness and only saw a slowly closing door, he immediately became anxious.

His own voice could be heard outside——

Did you eat quite clean

No brother, you eat clean

The taste is good

There are still over ten packages left

Well, we'll do it tomorrow night

I want it

「……」

Zhou Li hasn't reacted yet.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Li left the community and walked on the street, unable to forget the expression on Aunt Jiang's face when she heard that he was going to Nan Ge's house for dinner - she wished she could strip off his clothes, dress him up properly, and give him a three minute haircut.

He didn't want to say anything, but Zhu Shuang had a little sisters who was brother Nan's cousin and almost made him freeze there.
