Are You a Demon?

It took Lin Xiaoyi almost an hour to finally finish her shower, a far cry from Xia Wen's 15-minute routine.

However, she encountered a very embarrassing situation while getting dressed.

--The buttons on her white shirt popped off.

"I'm not returning this garment."

After staring at the button in her hand in silence for three seconds, Lin Xiaoyi quickly made a decision in her mind.

Lin Xiaoyi threw her coat and Xia Wen's clothes into the washing machine, poured in laundry detergent, and then pressed the start button.

When she opened the bathroom door and came out, she found Xia Wen, who had heard the noise, already standing there waiting for her.

Upon seeing her current attire, she clearly noticed a deep sense of disappointment on Xia Wen's face.

"You're not even going to change your pants and wash them? Aren't you uncomfortable wearing them? I even went out of my way to pick out this outfit..."

"... So you were definitely doing this on purpose, weren't you?"

With a dark expression, wearing a tracksuit that almost reached her knees and her own pants, Lin Xiaoyi walked out of the bathroom, shuffling her long hair behind her back.

Thankfully, this was someone else's home. If it were any other time, she would have already gone up to the other person and given them an Iron Mountain Lean" kick, an "Baji Collapse," and Eight-Stage Throw."

If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles; Xia Wen is exactly that Type.

He had once tried every possible way to find inspiration for his doujinshi from her, but after she gave him a good scolding, he reluctantly gave up on the idea of using her as the Heroine in his doujinshi...

"Do you even know what sexy is? Compared to sexiness, cuteness is utterly insignificant."

With a slight pursed lip, Xia Wen handed over the hair dryer he was holding.

"Mu Qiansè is adorably naive and timid, which easily evokes a man's protective instincts, but you can't really go down that route, so we'll have to reluctantly resort to sex..."

Lin Xiaoyi face flushed, directly delivered a chop to the other person's hand, physically interrupting their words.

Although it took her almost an hour to take a shower, the two people lying on the Sofa and the mat on the floor still showed no signs of waking up, indicating that the drug's effects were quite strong.

Anna was still sitting at her computer in front of the Coffee Table, but a stool had appeared next to Coffee Table at some point. Two empty instant noodle boxes were left on the Coffee Table. It was quite obvious who the extra stool Master.

In the kitchen, the flames reflected through the Glass Door and windows were three times stronger than before... So, is someone refining pills inside?

Lin Xiaoyi was very curious about this.

"Okay, you can take your time drying your hair. I'm going back to teaching Anna math."

After serving another bucket of instant noodles, which he had prepared based on her estimated shower time, to her, Xia Wen spoke to Lin Xiaoyi, who was drying her hair.

"But to be honest, I still think it's better if you do it the way I suggested before. As the saying goes, food and sex are basic human needs. If you make your appearance in the way I described, it will effectively increase the other person's goodwill towards you."

"... You should put on a jacket."

Looking at the other person's thin chest and the white shirt and men's shorts he was wearing, and recalling his current feat of going topless, Lin Xiaoyi remained silent for a moment before finally speaking.

"It's already hot enough with the air conditioning on indoors. If I put on another layer of clothing, won't I die of heat?"

Rolling her eyes, Xia Wen spoke, even reaching up to unbutton the top button of her white shirt, revealing a large expanse of fair skin underneath.

"Fine, if you don't want to listen, then don't listen. If I'd known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have even given you that white shirt..."

Lin Xiaoyi: "..."

"... If I remember correctly, your math grades have always been hovering around the Pass mark, haven't they?"

After a moment of silence, looking at the Blonde Loli sitting at the Coffee Table, diligently learning to swim in the ocean of knowledge, Lin Xiaoyi spoke.

"To be honest, I suspect you are misleading people."

"Hey, hey, hey, you can talk nonsense, but you can't talk nonsense about food. How did I mislead anyone?"

Feeling somewhat annoyed that his teaching abilities had been questioned, Xia Wen retorted with a question.

"It's just elementary school math. Can't I even teach that?"

"No, this kind of thing is actually obvious at a glance."

While drying her hair with a hairdryer, Lin Xiaoyi pointed towards the living room.

"Before, all the question marks popped up on her head, but after receiving your general teaching, now Martian words in the shape of "Θ●◆▼▲■※▪Ψ∮￡" began to appear on her head... What on earth are you teaching?"

"Well..."

Looking back, Xia Wen realized that things did indeed seem to be going on as described.

Just like in comics where speech bubbles appear above a character's head, one after another, Mars symbols are popping up above Anna's head...

"Ahem... Do you think Anna could just have a golden exclamation mark appear above her head, and then we run off to accept the quest?"

By coughing a few times and putting his hand to his mouth, Xia Wen tried to change the subject in the most clumsy way, as always.

"In that case, it feels like..."

"If you don't tell the truth, your allowance this month will be halved."

Lin Xiaoyi calmly interrupted the other person without any politeness.

"Anyway, your aunt and uncle have entrusted me with managing your living expenses, so I can still cut back on your spending a little."

"... I just showed her some elementary school math olympiad problems."

After a moment of silence, Xia Wen raised his hands and announced his surrender.

"Elementary school math problems are too easy. They're like a brainwashing pool manager with one pipe for water in and one pipe for water out, or a crazy farmer who puts chickens and ducks in the same cage and makes people count how many there are. There's absolutely no challenge in them. So I found some elementary school math olympiad problems online for her to look at... Seriously, are elementary school math olympiad problems really that challenging?"

"... Are you Demon?"

Lin Xiaoyi's lips twitched involuntarily. After glaring at Xia Wen in front of her, she turned to look at the Blonde Loli over there, her eyes unconsciously filled with pity.

"Even elementary school math problems already leave her scratching her head, and yet you're so heartless as to let her get exposed to elementary school math olympiad problems ahead of time... Suddenly, I had a sudden urge to do something righteous."

"Uh... take your time blowing, I'm leaving, bye!!"

After a second of silence, and seeing Lin Xiaoyi's gaze sharpen, Xia Wen turned and ran without hesitation.

Lin Xiaoyi: "..."
