My Demon Friends-Chapter 648 - 614: The Eldest Brother’s Tolerance

Brother Nan walked into the hotel room, tossed her bag onto the carpet, and turned her head to ask, "Where's Huai Xu? Didn't you say Huai Xu was here too?"

"He was here just a moment ago."

Zhou Li took out his phone to check, but Huai Xu hadn't sent him any messages.

At that moment, Brother Nan picked up a piece of paper from the desk and read aloud, "I won't disturb you lovebirds anymore. I'm going off to have fun. Call me for meals... Disturb?"

Master Ming is such a noob, Zhou Li thought, his mouth twitching.

As she saw the note left by Huai Xu, Brother Nan's curiosity was also piqued by the wooden sphere on the desk taking shape, the sharp carving knife with runes on its surface, and the wood chips scattered all over the table.

"What are you up to now?"

"Carving a ball."

"Eh!!" Brother Nan instantly turned her head, her face stern. "Don't use foul language!" she said hurriedly.

"You're so silly..."

"You're the silly one! When you have time, carve a Snow White for Big Brother!"

"What's Snow... hmm..."

"A character, a tall cool girl with long legs, just like Big Brother," Brother Nan said. "I'll send you a picture when I've got time."

"Oh, what function do you want it to have?"

"To come to life and warm my bed."

"..." Zhou Li pursed his lips. "I can fulfill that role."

"Lord Dumpling can do that too!"

"I despise you guys..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Li exchanged glances with Tuanzi's shining eyes. Neither human nor cat made a sound but seemed to understand each other's thoughts.

"Let's go out to eat." Zhou Li sent a message to Huai Xu, and immediately a handsome, unfamiliar young man appeared beside him.

"You change twice a day..."

"BLEAH..."

They went out to eat the chrysanthemum rice noodles from last night and then casually strolled through the supermarket, buying several boxes of yogurt and some snacks. On their way back, the Old monster disappeared without a trace; one second he was babbling next to your ear, and the next, gone.

Such lack of manners, Zhou Li thought. He conscientiously washed his face and brushed his teeth, focusing especially on the latter as a necessary sign of respect for Big Brother.

What made him a bit sad was that Little Cat Girl, who usually followed him when he brushed his teeth, didn't follow him today.

After he finished freshening up and came out, Brother Nan was lying on the bed watching the latest update of "Passing Away."

Unbeknownst to him, she had changed her clothes, now wearing a thin tank top with her hair casually tied in a bun. Her eyes were fixated on the TV, giving her an unexpectedly sweet appearance.

From Zhou Li's angle, the most striking feature was undoubtedly Brother Nan's slim and firm waist. She slightly propped up her upper body with her hands, creating a beautiful curve from her back to her waist. This curve connected downward to her perky butt beneath her shorts and upward to her delicate, rounded shoulders and elegant neck. It was hard for Zhou Li not to stare.

When he forced himself to look away, justifying it with, She's my girlfriend; I can look anytime, to convince himself not to appear as lecherous as Brother Nan often teased him of being, he soon found his attention drawn to the two small legs and feet swaying behind her.

Blame Lord Dumpling for that. Lord Dumpling always had an interest in things that moved, and he'd caught it from her.

At this moment, Brother Nan glanced sideways at Zhou Li.

"What are you doing standing there?"

"Oh…" Zhou Li reacted quickly. "Is this season of 'Passing Away' already out?"

"Don't you know?"

"I didn't know; I've been so busy lately."

"It came out on the 23rd. The second episode is tonight."

"Is it good?"

Zhou Li walked over, initially intending just to sit beside her. But as he approached, his gaze inadvertently drifted down Brother Nan's neckline.

Hmm? Zhou Li blinked forcefully. Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Or is that something that appears if you just... squeeze?

"You're..."

Brother Nan looked at him, perplexed. Then she lowered her head, pulled open her own neckline to peek inside, and instantly understood.

Glancing away nonchalantly, she waved her hand. "Oh, that's your handiwork. You've helped Big Brother develop a bit recently."

"..."

Zhou Li's expression froze.

Brother Nan patted the spot next to her, calling him over to watch TV with Big Brother. Only then did he somewhat snap out of it. He sat down, and they started discussing the show, talking about the new 'Little Lamb' cast member, the new location of the Mushroom House, rural life, and other guest stars.

"PURR PURR..." Lord Dumpling, with her round head and body, lay on Brother Nan's back, her two little paws kneading rhythmically. She massaged with concentration and purred earnestly.

Zhou Li turned his head and whispered, "Is Lord Dumpling kneading?"

Without turning her head, Lord Dumpling replied, "Lord Dumpling is giving Brother Lan a massage!"

"...You're giving yourself a massage, aren't you?"

"For Brother Lan!"

"But it's clearly you who's enjoying it."

"It's for Brother Lan!"

"I see."

Zhou Li then asked Brother Nan, a hint of envy in his voice, "Are you comfortable, Brother Nan?"

"It's passable," Brother Nan replied casually while watching TV, then added offhandedly, "She lacks motherly love, and I can't be bothered with her..."

Lord Dumpling automatically filtered out what she said, continuing to knead with focus and purr softly with a rhythmic beat.

After the show ended, Brother Nan went to take a shower.

Lord Dumpling was tired after being a part-time working cat during the day and a massage therapist for an hour in the evening. After wishing Zhou Li goodnight, she walked over to the bedside table. Soon, she fell asleep on Brother Nan's discarded cycling jersey, lying flat like a person with her four little paws snug against her fluffy body, looking incredibly cute.

Brother Nan's shower was quick. She came out soon after and turned off the lights in the room.

The room suddenly darkened.

As she climbed into bed, there was a rustling sound, followed by the gentle creak of mattress springs. Soon, a soft, fragrant Big Brother snuggled into Zhou Li's blanket. They lay face to face, their breath tickling each other's faces.

Then came their whispered conversations.

First was Brother Nan's voice, sounding as if she didn't recognize Zhou Li. "Hey, are you going to sleep?"

"It's still early."

"Don't you always go to bed early?"

"There's a bar outside; it's noisy."

"Just let it build up slowly," Brother Nan yawned. "I've realized this bike is better for city commuting; it's not so comfortable for long-distance rides. Shall we go to Yuanyang tomorrow? Let's not delay. I've seen the weather will be good for the next few days. Well, that figures, since I'm the Successor of Destiny."

"Okay."

"Then goodnight."

"Not..."

"What? Hm? What are you doing??"

Brother Nan's tone still carried a bit of Big Brother authority.

In the darkness, Zhou Li lifted his head and stealthily glanced at the bedside table. He saw Lord Dumpling peacefully asleep, her belly rhythmically rising and falling. Then he said to Brother Nan, "Let me touch Big Brother's pecs...

"Give Big Brother a massage; Big Brother's tired.

"Contribute to Big Brother's development."

He switched between three different pleas, each more sincere than the last.

All for Big Brother's good.

"Heh…"

Brother Nan felt both annoyed and amused. After laughing, she asked with disdain, "Are you only this brave when the lights are off?"

"Keep it down..."

"Hmph!"

Brother Nan didn't interrupt him, though.

Not until this fellow got too bold did she exasperatedly stretch out her hand, press down on his forehead, and ask speechlessly, "Are you also lacking..."

She stopped mid-sentence.

Zhou Li, however, nodded and admitted honestly, "Yeah, I'm lacking motherly love too."

"You..."

Brother Nan was lost for words.

Seconds later, she took a deep breath, let out a soft SSSS sound, and then exhaled slowly, as if preparing herself mentally... after all, this was a desecration of her Big Brother dignity.

Finally, she withdrew her hand.

"Kiss then!" she said, quite frankly.

「May 1st.」

Zhou Li got up early. He felt great, having made new progress. He pulled back the curtains to look outside; the sunlight was a pale gold, the weather as pleasant as his mood.

Looking back at Brother Nan, who was fast asleep on the bed, he noticed an extremely faint hickey on her fair neck. Presumably, there were more below her neck. He hadn't expected Brother Nan's skin to be so delicate... such a sight gave him a strange feeling.

Pacing around the room a few times to calm his emotions, Zhou Li approached the desk. While Brother Nan was still asleep, he resumed his carving.

He was somewhat distracted.
