Xiao Xiao handed out the watermelon, then let the demons help themselves.
He took a slice for himself.
"Mmm."
Zhuge Yun mumbled around a mouthful. "This watermelon's good."
He gave a thumbs-up. "Crisp and sweet."

Zhang Bo's eyes lit up.
He nodded.

"Be a decent person."
"Emotional blackmail is out of the question."
