"Did I hear that right?"
Xiao Zhu couldn't help asking again and again.
"A demon?"
"That demon?"
Dan Zhe found it a little amusing.
"What demon?"
"Just a demon."
"Don't laugh."
Xiao Zhu frowned. He was confused.
"Be serious."
"You mean..."
Xiao Zhu swallowed.

Xiao Zhu rubbed his throat.

Dan Zhe nodded. "Haven't you always wondered why, even though I've been dating my girlfriend for almost two years, I've never let you meet her?"

Dan Zhe smiled bitterly.
"None of you can see her."

"You'd think I wanted a girlfriend so badly that I'd imagined one..."
Xiao Zhu opened his mouth, then shut it.

Even now, the thought had already begun to creep into his mind.
"...You really didn't imagine her?"
"A demon girlfriend..."
It sounded completely absurd...
"A Zhe..."
"You..."
"No."
Dan Zhe shook his head.
"She's real."
