"...So, angels do exist in this world, but ordinary people don't know it. I only know a little because I've been an NPC for many years and seen many angels killed by the rules of this world."

“But I’ve never seen a demon before.” As Nie Linyuan spoke, he pulled Si Jin closer to him with one hand, whispering as he approached her delicate Adam’s apple.

"I used to think there were no demons in the world, until I remembered the reason why I had argued with Uncle Lu before."

“At that time, I was seventeen years old. I accidentally came to Uncle Lu’s study and saw a diary on his desk that hadn’t been closed yet.”

"He was writing a letter, seemingly asking the devil to wage war to annihilate all the angels, and even... annihilate all humanity."

"He also said he would lock me up and erase my memory, using me as the first test subject in his creation of a terrifying world."

"However, he was rejected. The demon did not want to start a war, nor would he easily show himself."

“I didn’t understand. I wanted to leave, feeling heavy-hearted, but he grabbed me and kept complaining. He said that he was the product of an angel and a devil falling in love. After his parents died, no one cared about him anymore, except for his aunt who was kind to him.”

"But most people in the world believe in metaphysics and think he represents bad luck. My aunt was pointed at and talked about every day, which caused her to develop depression. Later, she was scratched to death by monkeys in the zoo, and no one saved her."

“Some people even laughed and deliberately left her in the tiger enclosure to feed the tigers.”

"Uncle Lu... seems to be used to being rejected. His anger surged and he yelled at me, saying that humans looked down on him and conspired to kill his wife. He wanted revenge. What's wrong with that?"

“But as far as I know, Auntie died many years ago, it seems, about ten years before Lu You was born.”

“When I arrived at the Lu family, there was no aunt, no Lu You. Six years later, Uncle Lu brought home a child. I always thought... Lu You and I were both adopted, but now I have doubts…”

At this point, Nie Linyuan paused, leaned down and kissed Si Jin's eye, then suddenly pulled her into his arms.

"Um……"

The fragile god seemed unable to bear it any longer, let out a muffled groan, and collapsed in a daze.

Nie Linyuan held the person in his arms, staring at the no longer-clean water in the bathtub, his thoughts racing: It seems that taking a hot bath can still make up for the lack of cold water.

Carefully picking up Jinjin, Nie Linyuan went to fetch hot water, changed the sheets, and even taught the female ghost how to kill people more satisfyingly.

After busying herself for a while, she carefully put Si Jin into the quilt before lowering her head and gently kissing his forehead: "Jin Jin is tired. We'll talk about the rest next time. If you're angry, I'll bring the washboard and kneel down on it."

As she spoke, she turned around and fiddled with the washboard. Just as she put it on the ground, she heard two muffled groans from under the covers.

She immediately leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"

It took some effort to vaguely discern that Si Jin was saying "cold".

Jinjin got cold.

Nie Linyuan reached out and tucked the blanket around him again, but he still didn't feel better and kept complaining that he was cold.

How could this happen?

He pondered for a while, then slowly lifted the blanket and carefully pulled the person into his arms.

He saw that Jinjin turned her head away, seemingly not intending to look at him, but her body betrayed her, and she leaned closer to him.

Nie Linyuan asked with a smile, "Are you still cold?"

Si Jin didn't answer, and Nie Linyuan wasn't in a hurry. He covered her with the blanket again, changed his position, and made Si Jin more comfortable.

I thought Jinjin would fall asleep, but after a while, I heard him murmur again: "Don't kneel, the washboard is cold, it's warm here."
