Class 9 of Senior High Two, one year before the college entrance exam, collectively transmigrated.
A Western fantasy world, turbulent, with frequent wars.
A group of students at the pea...
I am not fond of argument.
As the leader of the demon clan, Rui Hang never fears anything. There is no place in the vast Parnaki that can stop him. In that world, he is the absolute king.
But even someone as powerful as Rui Hang feels afraid and finds it difficult to deal with.
——For example, the family in this world.
——For example, family members urging you to get married.
"I'm 24 this year, and I'll be 25 after the New Year."
"You're so old, and you've never even had a relationship. How shameful!"
"When are you going to get married and give me a grandson?"
“Without children, who will take care of you when you get older?”
"I think your aunt's cousin's neighbor's daughter is pretty good. Let's invite her to our house for dinner tomorrow."
Rui Hang: “…”
Not to mention that his sexual orientation is not female at all. After breaking up with the scumbag, Rui Hang experienced five hundred years of Parnaki's celibate life. All his energy was devoted to taking care of the students in the class and building a new social demon world. He had long since given up on love.
When a person only has a hundred years to live and is old, he may indeed feel lonely and long for company.
But when a person's life is stretched to infinity and he stands at the pinnacle of the world, his vision and thinking have long been separated from survival issues and low-level interests. Love, like a seasoning, becomes dispensable.
However, Rui Hang couldn't tell his parents about these things now - if he refused to date or go on blind dates, his parents would think that he was immature and too selfish. If he used "the Lord of the Demons" as a reason for his refusal, his parents would probably rush to the First People's Hospital of S City to see him in the psychiatric department.
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Rui Hangkong, who has returned to the human race, has a heart of revolution, but because the power of radical change in the environment disappears, he is forced to learn to bend and stretch.
So, despite Rui Hang's objection, on a happy day when the whole country was celebrating, his mother readily paid three thousand yuan and stuffed Rui Hang into a blind date party hosted by a matchmaking agency.
...
The party was held in a hotel banquet hall in Y City. The venue was decorated with a large number of flowers and balloons. A small stage was built in the center, and there were two lines of large characters written on the background board.
"Happiness Arrives on 2023"
"Love is simple when you are with me"
The overall atmosphere seems both cheap and sophisticated, like the layout of a shopping mall during a grand opening sale.
But these men and women are not much different from the merchandise sold at a shopping mall with price tags on them during a big sales event.
Rui Hang put down his phone and complained silently in his heart.
The sound of a chair being dragged interrupted Rui Hang's thoughts. He looked up and saw a pretty woman in a light blue dress pulling away the chair opposite him and squint at him.
"Can I sit here?" she asked politely.
Rui Hang: "...Please take a seat."
With the personal qualities he had developed over the years, he couldn't do anything like that. He could only bite the bullet and let the woman sit down opposite him.
The woman looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Her eyes were fixed on Rui Hang's direction, and she did not hide her interest in him at all.
After getting Rui Hang's consent, her smile deepened a little, she sat down modestly with her skirt adjusted, and took the initiative to introduce herself gracefully: "Hello, Cui Ying, 27 years old."
"...Rui Hang, 24 years old."
"Mr. Rui, would you like to introduce your occupation?" Cui Ying said.
"Teacher. Miss Cui is...?"
"Manager of XX Securities Company."
Rui Hang looked at the woman in front of him with some surprise.
Cui Ying's appearance is not very aggressive, and she looks more like a fresh and clean style. If you say she is a kindergarten teacher, painter, pastry chef or barista, no one will doubt her profession.
But he is the manager of a securities company, a top-tier company so famous that even he knows about it, and he is only 27 years old. This is not an achievement that can be simply summarized by the word "talent".
How could such an outstanding woman with unlimited potential, who is definitely young in the workplace but has already held a senior management position, go to Y City to attend a blind date party?
Such a person should never lack suitors, right?
Rui Hang did not hide his suspicion. As a manager, Cui Ying's vision was naturally sharp. She easily saw through Rui Hang's thoughts and did not try to hide them: "This is my hometown. My mother hopes that if I get married in the future, it would be best to find someone from my hometown. Because of the nature of my job, I spend most of my time at work and have no time to fall in love and enrich my interpersonal relationships. For me, blind dates are the most convenient and efficient way - only here, everyone's goal is to get married."
"Ms. Cui is a very capable person." Rui Hang praised sincerely, but Cui Ying looked at him with a complicated look and said in surprise: "Often when I introduce myself to others, they always praise me as 'an excellent woman'. You are the first man I have met who doesn't care about my identity as a woman."
Rui Hang laughed: "Does being good or not have anything to do with gender? There are many outstanding girls in our class. I have witnessed them working hard on their own. In the face of such efforts, gender and identity are not worth mentioning."
"Mr. Rui speaks highly of your students." Cui Ying said with interest, "I wonder if I will have the opportunity to see these students you mentioned in the future."
Rui Hang said in his heart: Maybe you will be able to see it after a while.
Perhaps because the initial communication went very smoothly, Cui Ying relaxed her body, crossed her fingers habitually on the table, leaned back, and sat in a relatively loose posture, just like a leader listening to employee reports in a meeting.
It was not until then that Cui Ying truly revealed the powerful aura of a senior executive, like a lazy but highly aggressive hunter.
She looked at Rui Hang carefully again, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said bluntly: "Mr. Rui, I hope you don't mind. The reason I chose you in the first place was indeed because of your appearance."
Cui Ying paused, smiling, and tilted her head slightly to signal Rui Hang to look around: "However, there are many women in this venue who have the same idea as me. It's just that they chose to wait and see, while I chose to be the first to take the initiative."
Rui Hang did not dislike Cui Ying's straightforwardness, but rather admired her straightforward and generous personality. He could not help but smile and joked along with Cui Ying: "Thanks to my parents for giving me such a good appearance."
Rui Hang's frankness also won Cui Ying's favor. She looked at Rui Hang deeply and said, "I am the only one who has been talking about my personal impression of Mr. Rui. I wonder what Mr. Rui thinks of me?"
Rui Hang: “…”
What do you think? Do you want me to say that I see no difference between a 27-year-old and a 3-year-old, they are both children?
Rui Hang barely curled his lips and changed the subject abruptly: "Why would Miss Cui want to attend a blind date party?"
Cui Ying was not angry at Rui Hang's deliberate avoidance, but answered seriously: "I have always believed that one should do what one should do at a certain age. Dating, getting married and having children before the age of 30 have always been my life plans."
As expected of an executive, he has such a clear plan for his life.
Rui Hang muttered to himself, and then said casually, "I thought that independent women nowadays are not very willing to get married and have children."
"Marriage and children are not things that women must give up. Independent women pursue equality, respect, freedom and personal values, not letting others decide whether they should have children." Cui Ying smiled and said, "As an independent woman in the new era, I have proved my value with my personal ability. I don't need to let others recognize me by whether to have children or not. I can also pursue freedom in marriage and children."
"I am so narrow-minded. I am sorry, Miss Cui." Rui Hang couldn't help but become serious: "You are right. Thomas Jefferson mentioned in the Declaration of Independence: All men are created equal, and their Creator endows them with certain inalienable rights, including the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Human beings are living beings with subjective initiative. It is my problem to make conclusions based on stereotypes."
"No need to apologize, Mr. Rui." Cui Ying's smile deepened: "You said it very well, you are worthy of being a teacher."
Rui Hang: “…”
Oops! I accidentally got an occupational disease and couldn’t help but start discussing life and thoughts with others!
Looking at Cui Ying's expression, it is obvious that she has evolved from looking at the face to appreciating personal character!
I originally wanted to pretend to be a boring person and say a few perfunctory words to let her see that I had no interest in her and leave tactfully. But now Cui Ying was ready to move on to the next step!
No, we have to find a way to stop it quickly!
"Ms. Cui, I'm actually not a very good person. Maybe if we talk a little more, you'll find that I'm just a shell."
Cui Ying blinked, sat up straight, and leaned forward slightly: "Mr. Rui, why do you have to belittle yourself? From your words, I can feel your cultivation and knowledge. The most important thing is that Mr. Rui is a rational person like me."
"...What do you mean?"
"Mr. Rui, you have no interest in this blind date party, right?" Cui Ying asked, "Maybe it's because your family is urging you to get married?"
Rui Hang nodded hesitantly.
"Sitting in a corner and avoiding communication like this will never solve the problem. Mr. Rui, why don't you consider breaking off the relationship and solving the problem from the root - find someone you can marry who won't interfere with your life and rhythm, but can block all disputes for you. Although I don't know the reason why Mr. Rui resists marriage, at least one thing I know very well is that you enjoy your current free life and don't intend to destroy it. And even if I get married, the focus of my life will not completely shift from work to life. We both need independent space to face each other's careers and hobbies. I think in this regard, Mr. Rui and I should be very compatible."
Rui Hang looked at Cui Ying in surprise.
Rui Hang did not believe Cui Ying's words. A woman who had a clear plan for her life and future would not be willing to give up a beautiful love and a stable family life, even if she had no time to focus on her family, and settle for a superficial relationship.
Obviously, Cui Ying is very confident in her ability and charm. She doesn't think that such an empty marriage relationship will really last a lifetime. Under her personal charm, she will definitely be conquered quickly, fall in love with her, and sincerely form a family with her.
Therefore, she just wanted to seize an opportunity - an opportunity for herself to relax her guard and let her take advantage of the opportunity.
It’s such a headache.
Rui Hang thought a little irritably: It would be nice if we were in Parnaky.
The way the demons, both men and women, courted each other was much more straightforward than Cui Ying's. Even though he had just traveled through time, many demons were very open and confused in this regard.
As the leader of the demon clan, Rui Hang, who has top-notch magic power and appearance, is naturally surrounded by the fanatical pursuit of men and women, but in the end, they all fell under Rui Hang's iron fist without exception.
——But on Earth, it is illegal to take action casually.
By the way, how long has it been? Why hasn’t anyone come yet?
Rui Hang lowered his head and glanced at the phone screen anxiously.
Noticing Rui Hang's impatience, Cui Ying did not leave immediately. Instead, she waited patiently for Rui Hang's expression to change, waiting for the result of his thinking.
At this moment, the hall door that had been tightly closed suddenly opened, and a girl with long wavy hair and a white gauze skirt walked in. She wore light makeup and her eyes were full of spring water, like a pure little white flower wet by the morning dew.
Rui Hang: “…”
His right eyelid began to twitch wildly.
"Excuse me, young lady, who are you looking for?"
As soon as the girl appeared, she naturally became the focus of the men in the room. The three men immediately came up to her and smiled attentively at her.
When I walked in, I found that the girl was a little tall, about 1.74 or 1.5 meters, but she had a slender and well-proportioned figure, and a pair of beautiful legs that made people unable to take their eyes off her. With so many plus points, the "little defect" of height is easily overlooked.
But in the face of the men's courtesy, she was unwilling to even give them an eye. Her eyes swept around the hall and quickly fell on Rui Hang in the corner.
She seemed to have suffered a severe blow, her body swayed, but she stood firm with a look of despair.
"Teacher Rui..."
A tear slid down her delicate jawline, and the girl walked towards Rui Hang sobbing, unable to control her sadness: "You...how can you come to participate in this kind of thing! Are you worthy of me!"
Rui Hang's breathing stagnated.
I asked you to come here to disrupt the situation, not to do this kind of thing!
Si Jishi, don't think that I can't recognize that you are a man just because you are wearing a skirt!
"Calm down..."
"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen!" Si Jishi covered her ears and shook her head desperately.
Rui Hang: “…”
He glanced at Cui Ying opposite him. The originally confident and generous Cui Ying's expression changed from surprise to stiffness, and gradually a bit of resentment developed.
She still sat there without moving, but she was no longer leaning forward in an offensive posture. Instead, she leaned slightly to the side, with one foot halfway out of the chair, ready to leave at any time.
In a sense, Si Jishi did achieve his goal.
Rui Hang was in mixed feelings.
...Forget it. As long as I don't have to stay here any longer, I don't mind being considered a scumbag.
Fortunately, Si Jishi didn’t go too far and just called me “teacher”, which made it much easier to explain afterwards.
But it turned out that Rui Hang had underestimated the students' ability to make things happen.
Just when everyone was quite curious about the sudden "catching a scumbag" melon, the door was pushed open again, and Bai Luo, who was dressed pretty and charming, like an innocent little white rabbit, walked in slowly.
He seemed very shy, looking around bashfully, and he didn't seem to be used to the atmosphere of the blind date party. His uneasy look was very lovable - no matter how you looked at it, he was a young man with very obvious masculine features.
Rui Hang: “…”
He suddenly had a very uneasy premonition!
Bai Luo's appearance quickly attracted the attention of many people. They watched this beautiful boy walking around the hall, and their eyes finally stopped at Rui Hang. Their black agate eyes first flashed with surprise. But when their eyes fell on Si Jishi, who was entangled with Rui Hang, and Cui Ying, who was bewildered, their eyes quickly filled with disbelief and helplessness.
Bai Luo's long eyelashes moved up and down, and tears flowed down his eyes as if a faucet was turned on.
Rui Hang: “…”
You two are in the same scene! Can't you be a little different when it comes to catching a scumbag?
At the same time, Si Jishi also secretly cast a look at Bai Luo: I just used this plot.
Bai Luo understood what he meant and switched the script calmly.
"Ah...Ah Hang?" His voice was a little hoarse and he sounded quite haggard: "So it turns out that the one you like is really a woman, you lied to me!"
Rui Hang was so shocked by the shout of "Ah Hang" that he was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
The crowd: "???!!!"
What! Isn't this the story of the spare tire confronting the scumbag? !
It seems this scumbag is two-timing, and he's a bisexual?!
So wonderful!
Everyone stopped eating melons and started taking out their phones.
Rui Hang: “…”
If this continues, the story will not end as neighborhood gossip, but will be reported in legal news!
...No, the new old uncle and 1818 Golden Eye are more likely!
Rui Hang subconsciously glanced at Cui Ying, only to see her stand up swiftly. Although she still maintained basic politeness, the disgust and resistance in her eyes were making the distance between her and Rui Hang grow farther and farther.
"Mr. Rui, although I don't want to interfere in other people's love affairs, and I don't want to discuss sexual orientation, it's really too much to wander between two people and attend blind date parties." Cui Ying said, "I just realized that Mr. Rui is very self-aware of his own evaluation. I am very happy to meet Mr. Rui, but unfortunately, our fate ends here."
After saying that, she turned around and left without any hesitation, so elegantly that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Rui Hang: “…”
His gaze silently shifted to Si Jishi beside him and Bai Luo not far away.
Itchy! My fist is itchy!
Bai Luo: “…”
Si Jishi: “…”
Oh no, it seems like this is a bit too much.
Wait! Mr. Rui, don't worry! We still have a way to remedy the situation!
"Ah Hang, isn't he the student who followed you? Why is she here?" Bai Luo wiped his tears, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he changed from a poor little white rabbit who was abandoned to a brave fighter who defended his man's dignity. He rushed to Si Jishi in two or three steps, and inserted himself between him and Rui Hang: "You stalker! Don't get close to Ah Hang anymore!"
Si Jishi took over the role with ease: "Who the hell are you? How dare you say that to me? You're just taking tutoring classes at his house, but you're actually thinking that Mr. Rui likes you and you keep pestering him. Ugh! Disgusting!"
The onlookers stared with wide eyes: Huh?! There is actually a plot twist!
Although he was still nearly killed by Ah Hang's thunderbolt, Rui Hang still endured the discomfort firmly and cooperated with the two in acting, saying: "You two stop arguing! I've already told you that I don't want to be in love with you, and you don't want to think that I'm in love with you!"
He sighed, turned to the others, and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, everyone. I didn't handle the problem of the two students well. I disturbed your fun. I'll leave now!"
As he said that, Rui Hang pulled Si Jishi and Bai Luo on the left and right and tried to run away.
I don't know which brother suddenly said in a teasing tone: "If you choose between these two, which one do you like better?"
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Si Jishi and Bai Luo had a mischievous smile in their eyes and thought: This is not trouble we caused.
The two of them simultaneously grabbed Rui Hang's hand and insisted: "Tell me, which one of us do you want to choose?"
"Teacher Rui." Si Jishi lowered her voice: "If we don't cooperate, it will seem too fake."
Rui Hang: “…”
He pulled his hands out with all his strength and took a deep breath: "I won't choose either one!"
"Teacher Rui..."
"You are my students. How could I possibly harm my students?" Rui Hang said righteously, "Remember, love is never the most important thing in life! What about your ideals? What about your pursuits? Do you have to give up on becoming a better person just for a man?"
"People should learn to love themselves first, and then try to love others!"
The huge hall was silent for a moment, and a hand slowly stretched out from the crowd: "Teacher, when I was dating my ex-boyfriend, I loved myself enough, but my ex-boyfriend thought I was too selfish to watch his mother do housework alone, and said that I didn't understand his mother's hard work, so he dumped me. What should I do?"
Rui Hang's eyes were stern. "This is the man's problem. What does it have to do with you? Is he blind or has no hands or feet? Did he realize how hard his mother worked until you showed up? Shouldn't you keep this kind of man for the New Year?"
"But I run around outside all day, being exploited by my boss, and when I come home I have to look after my partner's face and get accused of not doing housework. Who am I? What does my hard work count for?" A man immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Just because I'm a woman, do I have to side with them?"
Rui Hang's eyes were sharp: "Your wife is the one who will spend your life with you. You are a family who will overcome the many difficulties in life together. You are a community of shared destiny, not enemies or opponents! It is your boss who exploits you, not your wife! Your wife does not feel at ease to enjoy every penny you earn, and pays with her labor. Why do you feel at ease to accept her efforts? Moreover, not every woman will choose to stay at home to take care of her husband and children. She will also work, but she also has to take care of housework and take care of children. You are making the same efforts, why do you think you have sacrificed more?"
"If you are not ready to face the future with your partner, and do not want to take on the responsibilities of being a father or a husband, why add suffering and torture to yourself? Add unnecessary burdens?"
"Remember, the ones who oppress you are those who are sitting in office doing nothing but still think they are the ones who make the rules! They are the black-hearted capitalists, not your family members who love you the most!"
Rui Hang's eyes swept across the audience: "Loving yourself doesn't mean you don't need to respect others!"
"The teacher said it well!" Someone shouted, "I don't want to kiss you anymore! I want to be myself! I don't want to be a slave to love!"
"Teacher, please say a few more words!"
"Teacher, please give us more lessons! I want to continue listening!"
Surrounded by the crowd, Rui Hang, who had originally planned to run away, was welcomed onto the stage in a heroic and high-spirited manner, holding a microphone and speaking eloquently.
Bai Luo: “…”
Si Jishi: “…”
Oh my god! Teacher Rui’s occupational disease has come back again!!!
On that day, XX matchmaking agency suffered its first Waterloo since its establishment - none of the one hundred young men and women were successfully matched.
Rui Hang was naturally blacklisted by all matchmaking agencies in Y City, which is a cause for celebration.
