My Demon Friends-Chapter 610 - 583 Take Care, Little Cousin_2

"..."

The classroom first went quiet. Then, the students of the two classes burst into laughter, searching for the student in question as they followed the teacher's gaze.

Zhou Li looked around as well, unsure which student it was.

The vice-dean stared straight at him and coughed again. "Stop looking, it's you, the most handsome one in both classes. You were very attentive last class, and once it ended, I saw you massaging your head and saying that you had absorbed too much knowledge and it was about to spill out. Has the knowledge for this question spilled out yet?"

According to the description, it was indeed me.

Zhou Li silently stood up, faced everyone's laughter, and answered, "Nitrogenous base, pentose, and phosphate."

"Pentose is also called?"

"A five-carbon sugar."

"Why?"

"Because it contains five carbon atoms."

"Alright, alright," the vice-dean nodded in approval. "It hasn't spilled out yet."

"I caught it."

Zhou Li silently sat down.

Brother Nan next to him beamed with a radiant smile, generous with her praise. "Not bad, young man..."

Just as Zhou Li thought she would compliment his attentiveness in class, she added the latter half of her sentence, "You've become humorous."

"Big brother has trained me well."

"That's right..."

"Big brother, I need a favor."

"Just say it!"

"Help me curse him."

Zhou Li looked down, glancing at the vice-dean, and thought for a moment before saying, "Curse him to always have table tennis shots that hit the edge of the table for a month... no, curse him to hit edge balls whenever he plays with the dean or the chancellor for a month."

"No problem!"

Little Brother was promising, and Brother Nan was in high spirits, naturally ready to grant any request.

After casting the curse, Brother Nan said to him, "Let's go for a walk later. The flowers on campus are blooming beautifully."

"Oh."

Zhou Li stopped talking, listening attentively to the lecture.

...

The next class was on Marxist Principles, taught by a female teacher.

Very few people paid attention, and Zhou Li was one of them. Still in the 'striving for improvement' phase, he was in a stage where learning brought him joy.

「After lunch.」

Brother Nan took Zhou Li and Tuanzi for a stroll around the campus. They had wanted to invite Huai Xu along, but Huai Xu was already out and about, so they agreed to 'bump into' each other.

Cai University is indeed a beautiful school, with flowers blooming all year round.

It was early March, and the school was filled with crabapple and cherry blossoms. This period was when they were at their best.

Crabapple and cherry blossoms look somewhat similar but have many differences. Those who don't pay much attention to flowers and plants probably can't distinguish one from the other.

Both have corymb flower clusters, but crabapples usually have 5 to 8 blossoms per cluster, are slightly larger, and a bit darker in color than cherry blossoms. But when they bloom, the trees and branches are covered with them. At first glance, their eyes were filled with the delicate charm of spring, like a fairy-tale world. One would be so astounded that they wouldn't care which was which.

They were both lovely, after all.

In previous years, this spectacle would attract many visitors from outside the school, but this year, due to the campus closure, it was peacefully quiet.

Nevertheless, many students still went to view the flowers.

Couples went hand in hand. Those not in a relationship brought their friends or roommates. Some Little Fairies dressed beautifully and hired campus photographers to take portrait photos. The ones wearing Hanfu were especially numerous, adding a human element to the floral scenery, making it a dual delight for the eyes.

Seeing them, Zhou Li couldn't help but imagine Brother Nan in Hanfu.

She was definitely much more beautiful than them.

Because even without Hanfu, Brother Nan walking under the flower trees attracted much more attention than they did.

Still, Zhou Li felt that most of the glances from the girls were not for Brother Nan, but rather for himself or Tuanzi in his arms.

"All flowers," Brother Nan said.

"All flowers," Tuanzi repeated.

"Huai Xu is really carefree. Knowing that the flowers here are pretty, she came early in the morning to wander alone, without calling us," Brother Nan said. "I wouldn't have imagined that this foodie could also be so elegant and romantic. I thought all she knew was eating and fighting."

"She's bored by herself," Zhou Li said.

"Ask her where she is."

"Oh... behind Lixing Building."

So they headed toward Lixing Building.

Leaving one world of flowers and entering another, Brother Nan was already dazzled.

Zhou Li saw a petite figure wearing a mask, with fair skin, resembling Little Cousin but not quite. Just as he was about to go confirm, Tuanzi in his arms stretched out chubby little paws first, pointing at the person ahead.

"Huai Xu!"

"Hey..."

Huai Xu narrowed her eyes with a smile, approached them, plucked a flower casually, pulled down her mask, and held the flower to her lips.

A female teacher by the roadside frowned upon seeing this. "Classmate, how can you just casually pick flowers?"

Huai Xu was momentarily taken aback, stopped in her tracks, and turned her head to look at the woman, taking a while before she retorted, "What's it to you?"

"What's it to me?" The teacher was stunned. "Do you have any manners?"

"Nope!"

"You... It was growing fine on the tree, why did you have to pick it?"

"Because I lack manners!"

"You..." The teacher was taken aback again. "Which department are you from, being so brazen even after doing something wrong!"

"If I didn't pick it, it would still fall off." Huai Xu looked at this mortal with incomprehension. "There's going to be a strong wind tonight, and most of these flowers will fall."

"How do you know there will be wind?"

"Because... hey, why should I tell you?"

"Fine, even if there's a strong wind tonight, that's no excuse for you to pick flowers. If the wind blows them down, that's natural, but it's not okay for you to pluck them, understand?" Angered by her and spurred by the stubborn dedication of an educator, the female teacher said, "Flowers are for looking, not for picking. Look around, you're the only one who picked a flower. Who else did?"

"They picked them secretly." Huai Xu replied truthfully. "I saw many people picking them."

"Still arguing!"

"HMM..."

As an ill-mannered Old monster, although she wasn't in the right, she also wouldn't be defeated. She was the Great Devil King; who was she afraid of?

"None of your damn business."

"You..."

The teacher was beside herself with rage, astonished at how low the students' quality could be at the school.

However, she suddenly took a closer look at Huai Xu.

She seemed to recall having seen this girl in class this morning, sitting in the front row, with a very distinctive baozi-shaped face. Yet she was not sure because she remembered the girl as being quiet, well-behaved, and attentive in class, not the type to do something like this.

"Which department are you from? What's your name? Are you perhaps from Life Sciences?"

"What's up? Looking for a fight?"

"You tell me!"

"I can't be bothered with you..."

Huai Xu glanced disdainfully at her. This person wants to challenge me to a fight? Mere mortal...

She shook her head and no longer paid the teacher any attention, walking away while chewing on the flower petal and swallowing it.

The female teacher was greatly vexed, her gaze lingering on Huai Xu's receding figure for a long time, unwilling to look away.

Soon, Huai Xu approached Zhou Li.

True to being an Old monster, she even started complaining about others first, "The mortals these days have no reverence for the Great Devil King at all... If it were the old me, I'd have drawn my sword and chopped off her head with a single slice!"

"You really lack manners," Zhou Li said expressionlessly.

"Nonsense! I am the most well-mannered!" Huai Xu exclaimed in shock.

"Where are your manners... With so many people watching, aren't you embarrassed?"

"Do you think I'm like you, with such thin skin?" Huai Xu declared proudly. "I'll just change my appearance tomorrow, and I'll be a new me!"

I'm speechless...

"I'm the one who's speechless here!"

"Wait a minute..."

Zhou Li suddenly frowned. "That person seemed... seemed to be the teacher from today's Marxist Principles class."

"What do I care if she's the Marxist Principles teacher? I'm not Marxist Principles."

"..."

Zhou Li stared at her baozi face. The skin was fine and tender, giving off a 'soft to the touch' impression. Then he looked back at the slightly chubby figure stomping away in anger, and he suddenly became worried for his Little Cousin.

Subconsciously, he pulled out his phone.

He opened QQ, then remembered that Little Cousin used WeChat more often, and opened WeChat.

Double-clicking the profile:

You pat Baozi's empty wallet.

"..."

Baozi: What's up, cousin? Are you treating me to milk tea?

Zhou Li: Take care

Baozi: ?

He probably shouldn't have told her.

Retract, retract.

Pocketing his phone, Zhou Li pretended nothing had happened and just turned to his two flower-plucking companions by his side, "This story tells us, don't pick wildflowers by the roadside, got it?"

Both the human and the demon acted as if they hadn't heard a thing.
