My Demon Friends-Chapter 469 - 462: Misunderstandings One After Another_3

Patience, waiting.

Seeing him look over, she glanced back. She had clearly guessed his intention but appeared unconcerned, exuding an irritating confidence of holding a winning hand.

Zhou Li couldn’t help frowning. How annoying.

That’s how the whole class passed, with Brother Nan sleeping through it.

「Class ended.」

Everyone was already ravenous. They quickly grabbed their books and pens, squeezing through the crowd to head outside, making a beeline for the cafeterias. The outside was bustling with activity.

Brother Nan had brought only one book. It was neither Biochemistry from the first period nor English from the second; it was probably just something she had grabbed on the way out. She handed this book to Zhou Li for him to carry too, and then pulled him downstairs.

Gradually, there were no more familiar faces around them, just Old monster trailing far behind, waiting for the anticipated scene to unfold.

Zhou Li heard Brother Nan say, "Alright, no one else is around. You can tell me about your dream now."

!

"What’s the matter?"

"Nothing," Zhou Li said calmly. "Why didn’t you ask me in the classroom? It’s just a dream; it’s not like I’m afraid of others overhearing."

"Please, don’t change the subject."

Zhou Li fell silent for a moment, then honestly began to tell his story.

It was time for a freestyle challenge.

And this was actually quite difficult. Because he couldn’t lie to Brother Nan, he had to make up a story full of holes. This way, Brother Nan could tell right away it was fake. Yet, through the story, he also had to try to lower Brother Nan’s anger level to avoid being thrown into the lake.

Luckily, Zhou Li was rather good at this.

As he spoke, he discreetly quickened his pace, occasionally glancing up to see how far the cafeteria was.

But Brother Nan ignored such tricks. She deliberately walked slowly, patiently listening to his concocted tale without calling him out. Sometimes, when classmates caught up from behind and greeted her, she would respond with a cheerful smile.

Seeing her expression, Zhou Li breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Brother Nan wasn’t petty.

As they walked, the two gradually deviated from their course.

Zhou Li was startled. "Isn’t this way closer to Ziyuan Canteen? Why not go there to eat?"

"Are you dumb? Your cousin is working at Nanyuan Cafeteria. Didn’t you notice she snuck out after the first half of the class?" Brother Nan slapped him lightly. "Go to your cousin’s window to get heaps of meat. Isn’t that delicious?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"That’s true," Zhou Li conceded.

Once they left the main path to Ziyuan Canteen, there were fewer people. They even took a shortcut that was even less populated.

This was normal; this was the way they were supposed to go.

It was only when Zhou Li felt someone tug at his sleeve, followed by Brother Nan calling out softly—

"Hey, hey, wait..."

"What’s up?"

THUD!

A pale fist swung over, followed by a second punch... a barrage of punches like raindrops.

In a nearby tree—

An extremely beautiful girl sat on a branch with an ice cream cone in hand. She was swinging her legs, licking the ice cream, and watching Zhou Li getting beaten below. A look of satisfaction appeared on her exquisite face, whether from the delicious ice cream or something else.

Not far away, a couple sat.

The boy looked puzzled at the tree and said to his girlfriend, "Weiwei, look at that tree. Is there an ice cream floating in it?"

The girl immediately craned her neck, squinting to focus, but her severe nearsightedness hindered her.

"How can there be floating ice cream in a tree? You must be seeing things," she said.

"Really! It’s a Green Tongue! And it’s still waving around!"

"You’re tripping..."

"I..."

However, Huai Xu up in the tree was not the least bit afraid. She didn’t even care about the agreement that ’demons must not reveal themselves to ordinary people.’ She hummed a tune, waving the ice cream in front of the boy. Seeing him rubbing his eyes, she smiled broadly.
