Chapter 37 Happy Valley
Wasn’t it a dream?
Duan Ke clung to Qin Huai's chest in a daze. The temporary stimulation brought by the alcohol had subsided, and the fresh and familiar taste of orange candy was in her mouth. She had changed into Qin Huai's shirt.
...Apparently Qin Huai changed her clothes and brushed her teeth last night.
As all the hazy memories came back, Duan Ke's expression was indescribable. There were so many strange things that he didn't even know where to begin to organize his words.
Duan Ke raised his head, looked at Qin Huai in disbelief, and said, "Brother, you..."
Qin Huai tilted his head and kissed him, "Yeah."
“…?”
Duan Ke's brain, which was already small in capacity, was instantly cleared by Qin Huai's kiss.
He blinked blankly, feeling the warmth still lingering on his lips, and stammered with a red face: "Brother, yesterday we..."
Before he could finish his words, Qin Huai couldn't help himself and turned his head to kiss him.
This time the kiss was a little harder.
Duan Ke: “…………………………Brother, please don’t interrupt me like this. I’m thinking.”
Qin Huai was quite frank. He lowered his eyes to look at the person curled up in his arms and hummed casually. His voice was still lingering with sleep, a little hoarse than usual.
"Think about it first." Qin Huai lazily rubbed his messy and fluffy hair. "I'll go wash up. It'll be your turn later."
“…Okay.”
Duan Ke was still lying down, and out of habit wanted to take a look at his cell phone.
Seeing him like this, Qin Huai walked halfway to the bathroom and turned back. Without saying a word, he picked up Duan Ketuo and leaned his pillow against his back.
"Sitting up to look at it hurts your eyes."
Duan Ke was made to sit in a standard position like a rag doll by him, and Qin Huai walked over with satisfaction.
“…”
Duan Ke stared at the app page on his phone in confusion, not knowing what to look at. He simply let his mind go blank and stared blankly.
Why does it feel like just one night has passed, but the way he and Qin Huai get along has become so strange?
How could he remember that the two people were neighbors and had a simple feeding relationship?
Would two people in this kind of relationship wake up in the same bed every day?
Something seemed wrong. But what exactly?
Duan Ke's knowledge of humans was beginning to run low again. Humans were a difficult species to fully understand. Three years of study had only taught him how to roughly disguise himself as an ordinary boy, but it hadn't allowed him to truly become a "human" and think like a human.
He held his chin and thought for a while, then hammered his right hand with his left hand and decided to seek help from the almighty Internet.
He took out his phone and looked down to search for the question.
"Why do my friends suddenly like sleeping with me?"
There were actually quite a few web pages that popped up, all with the same old ID photos with white backgrounds and white coats, making Duan Ke unsure which one to choose.
He glanced at it a few times and clicked on a longer reply.
[Hello, there are several reasons why your friend suddenly likes you.
1. Emotional needs: Your friend may be very lacking in companionship recently, and has developed a soul resonance with you when getting along with you, and is longing for your attention.
2. Physical attraction. Your friend may have fantasies about you to some extent and desire physical contact with you.
3.……】
Such a well-reasoned reply, such a scientific layout, Duan Ke completely believed it.
He began to examine Qin Huai's situation.
First, excluding the second point, I definitely have no physical attraction to Qin Huai.
After all, when they first met, Qin Huai was extremely disgusted with physical contact and would avoid anyone who touched his hand.
Later, the mention of kissing became even more difficult to accept. In order to fulfill my responsibility, I reluctantly agreed to kiss myself once a week.
The following points don't seem to match up either.
Duan Ke eliminated many options, and finally only one thing remained - Qin Huai might be lacking care!
Yes, it seems that there is no one else around him except me, his friend.
Duan Ke would occasionally go out to play with his former roommate. Qin Huai either went to work or went home to cook for himself. He didn't have any entertainment activities, and no one came to visit him at home.
Moreover, humans should all have families. Duan Ke has known him for so long, but has never seen Qin Huai's family, and has never even seen him call his family.
Is Qin Huai too lacking in companionship and too lonely that he is afraid to find someone else and is so responsible as to feed himself more?
Duan Ke felt that he had completely understood!
The little succubus felt a huge sense of responsibility. Her owner was so dedicated and responsible, so how could she not show some support when he needed her?
Duan Ke threw off the covers with a determined look on his face and got up. He remembered the two Happy Valley tickets his senior had given him yesterday, and the event was held today.
Duan Ke thought, I'll invite Qin Huai to play after he finishes washing up.

Lin Jiangli: [You didn't come to work today? ? ]
Lin Jiangli: [Are you okay? Did that dream demon come looking for you?]
Qin Huai leaned back in the driver's seat, feeling quite cheerful. He held the steering wheel with one hand and his phone in the other, patiently replying to Lin Jiangli's messages within seconds.
Qin Huai: [I'm on vacation today.]
Qin Huai: [I have to accompany my roommate.]
There was silence on the other side for about five minutes.
Qin Huai didn't have the patience to wait, so he switched the screen to read today's news, but Lin Jiangli called directly.
"Qin Huai, tell me again what you're going to do?" Lin Jiangli's voice sounded like he had seen a ghost. "What are you going to do if you don't come to work on Saturday?"
Lin Jiangli was arguing like a firecracker. Qin Huai held the phone away with disgust, "Can't you understand what people are saying?"
"I have to keep my roommate company." The man, who usually gets lazy about saying even a word more, repeated it word for word, "Today isn't a workday anyway."
Lin Jiangli: "..."
I have never seen this person not coming to work in my life. I am afraid that he has lost his mind again because of the nightmare.
Of course, Lin Jiangli didn't dare say this. Qin Huai hung up on him, feeling very humiliated. Duan Ke had already changed and walked over, and Qin Huai naturally didn't bother to say a word.
Duan Ke wore a bright yellow sweatshirt with denim shorts, which looked very refreshing and sunny, and made him look more refined and elegant like a mixed-race person.
Qin Huai opened the car door for him. Duan Ke sat in the passenger seat, but Qin Huai didn't lean back, staying very close to Duan Ke.
"What's wrong? Do you need anything?"
Duan Ke looked at Qin Huai blankly. Qin Huai chuckled softly and kissed her calmly. In between kisses, he helped Duan Ke fasten her seatbelt.
The two of them rubbed their noses against each other and kissed quietly for almost five minutes before separating.
The air conditioner was on in the car, but Duan Ke still felt very hot. He felt groggy and drowsy as if he had a fever. He took small breaths in between responses, and his exhaled breaths were warm.
"I didn't eat anything this morning, so it doesn't count as a feeding." Qin Huai said, "I'll make up for it now."
Duan Ke seemed to have not heard clearly what Qin Huai said, and just made a couple of random "hmm" sounds in response.
His face flushed, his palms sweating, and he stared uncomfortably out the window. Qin Huai curled his lips, seeing through the situation but not saying anything. With a nonchalant expression, he drove off towards Happy Valley.
The place is not far away, it only takes twenty minutes to get there.
The senior student really didn't recommend the place randomly. Duan Ke exclaimed in surprise as soon as he got off the car.
The gates of Happy Valley were decorated with vines and pumpkins. The man and woman welcoming guests on both sides were wearing exaggerated Halloween costumes and had heavy horror makeup on their faces.
All the rides inside were decorated for Halloween, and even though it was daytime, the atmosphere was already very lively.
Duan Ke covered his mouth with both hands, his eyes wide open.
He tugged at Qin Huai's sleeve and asked softly, "Brother, do you have time to stay with me until tonight?"
"Hmm? Yes." Qin Huai said.
Qin Huai didn't even ask why. But Duan Ke explained anyway, "I'm most interested in that huge haunted house! It's said it's only fun after it gets completely dark, and there are lots of NPCs dressed in scary costumes! I want my brother to play with me."
Then he added softly, "I don't dare to do it alone... Will my brother accompany me?"
Qin Huai certainly wouldn't refuse. But he asked with a hint of amusement, "Are you afraid of this? Aren't you a monster?"
"…………I'm not afraid of monsters, I'm afraid of ghosts!"
There were people coming and going around, and Duan Ke seemed a little embarrassed. He tugged at Qin Huai's sleeve to make him bend down, and whispered accusations in his ear.
"When I first became human, I was curious and watched a horror movie alone in the basement... I wasn't afraid of ghosts before, but after that incident, I became afraid. For a long time, I didn't dare walk alone at night. I would only sneak out to eat when I was really hungry."
"...But I still want to watch it." Duan Ke said softly, "Brother, watch it with me when you have time."
Qin Huai was nearly twenty centimeters taller than Duan Ke, and he half-crouched to listen to Duan Ke's whispers.
The child was shy even when telling the truth. His little face was as red as if he had just been kissed. He looked around for fear of being heard, as if he couldn't stand being away from his mother.
He was raised so well.
Qin Huai was silent for a few seconds, as if smiling, secretly licked his canine teeth, kissed him again, and responded with satisfaction.
"I won't leave you alone anymore."
The two walked to the door and handed their tickets to the girl checking tickets.
The girl pointed to a dressing room not far away and said in a friendly manner, "We have an event today, and we can provide free clothes. Of course, if you want new clothes, you can buy them on the spot. There will be more styles available. If you need, you can go over there to change clothes."
Duan Ke was clearly eager to try. Before she could even turn around and give Qin Huai a look, she was led by the hand and walked towards him.
The wicked mechanism of inducing consumption was everywhere. Duan Ke was already amazed when he saw the clothes in the free area when he first entered the store, but he was completely unable to move when he entered the consumption area. Especially after comparing the before and after, he wanted to spend money even more.
"Buy it if you like it." Qin Huai said lightly, standing behind him.
If two other people were traveling together, if one of them said this, the other would definitely refuse to some extent.
But Duan Ke is not a human, and he likes beautiful and exquisite but useless little things, so he will not refuse feeding from his owner.
Duan Ke, still remembering to show some concern for Qin Huai, suggested, "Brother, how about you help me change too? Let's pick something similar. That way, others will know we came together and we won't get separated."
Qin Huai accepted the suggestion very smoothly. Duan Ke was happily choosing clothes. When he got the third piece, his ears twitched slightly and he tilted his head to look at the location of the dressing room.
"...It sounded like something fell." Duan Ke tilted his head, "Brother, did you hear it?"
"Um."
Qin Huai didn't react in any particular way. He followed Duan Ke's lead and took off a third piece of clothing of similar style. "Maybe I bumped into something while changing clothes. It's nothing."
Duan Ke didn't really care. Once he started picking up these shiny things, he couldn't stop. He even took over the accessories section.
Qin Huai watched silently and asked, "Shall I buy you a drink? What do you want to drink?"
"Okay, I want milk tea." Duan Ke responded without turning his head, "I want mango pudding, a large cup."
Qin Huai responded and left.
Duan Ke picked out his clothes and excitedly carried them into the dressing room. There were so many people that he had to wait in line for several minutes before finding an empty room. The space inside was not very large, and Duan Ke looked like a squirrel carrying a giant pine cone.
"Your ears look so real! So beautiful, let me touch them..."
"How did you get this pinned on? It looks so heavy... but it looks really good! I'm sure it'll be a hit in the photos later..."
Two girls came out of the women's locker room across the street and were talking excitedly in low voices. Duan Ke had excellent hearing and was able to pick up on the key words.
...Oh, yeah, it's Halloween now, so I can show off my ears and tail, right?
Although the prototype cannot be used because Qin Huai is here, the opportunity to let it out for some fresh air cannot be missed.
Duan Ke went back to search and found a pair of pants with a hole in the back that could be used to install a fake tail. He took the leather shorts back to his dressing room and started to change.
Duan Ke put on his top first. The outfit he chose was quite revealing, resembling a Halloween-colored bunny girl outfit. It was sleeveless, with a hint of midriff and a giant wizard's hat that covered a third of his body.
Duan Ke put on his clothes first, and then tried to change his pants.
His tail was rather fluffy, with clumps of cat hair flying here and there, making it difficult for him to pull his pants up.
"Hiss...it hurts, why is it still stuck?"
Duan Ke's eyebrows were bent into an eight shape due to the pain, and he tried to pull the tail out with a bitter face.
At this moment, the door curtain was lifted up, and a figure flashed in quickly. The moment the door curtain was closed, Duan Keyi swung it over.
Qin Huai, who had eaten a mouthful of cat hair, said: “………………”
He felt somewhat helpless, holding the milk tea in one hand and pushing aside the hair with the other, but when he saw Duan Ke's movements clearly, his eyes suddenly became deep.
...The two large cat ears trembled, and the tail was constantly wagging. It seemed that it was stuck in the pants and could not be pulled up, and half of the white pants were exposed.
"Is it difficult to put on? Let me help you."
Qin Huai put the milk tea on the shelf on the side and walked over with a dignified manner.
Facing Duan Ke's frightened eyes, he reached out and touched the sensitive base of Duan Ke's tail and pinched it.
