"Hey, you promised to treat me to something delicious, so why did you bring me here? I want a fancy meal! Is this the fancy meal for you or for me?"
Yue Jiuling looked at a takoyaki stall in front of her with dissatisfaction and complained to Ya Zi.
Ya Zi is placing an order with the shop owner: "Please give me one order of pork floss and one order of seaweed, to go, thank you."
After he placed the order, he turned to Yue Jiuling and said, "Hey, what's the rush? After I pack it up, I'll take you to eat fish at the restaurant you ate at last time, okay?"
Ya Zi's tone carried an unintentional hint of doting; he had never spoken to Yue Jiuling in such a tone before, this was the first time.
However, Yue Jiuling, being a foodie, didn't notice any change in Ya Zi's tone. She was only concerned about whether Ya Zi, who had received his salary today, would treat her to a big meal. That's right, after waiting for so long, they finally received their salaries today.
"Okay, then I'll eat a lot of dishes, and I'll buy some other snacks later."
While watching the owner make the takoyaki, Ya Zi nodded generously and said, "Sure, you can have whatever you want to eat. It's on me today!"
They were off work now, so they could wander around the streets without any problem. So the two of them decided to take advantage of their money and have a big meal!
City C
Yue Jiu Nian also came home from school at this time. Seeing that it was not yet time to eat, she went back to her room to chat with the stone monster.
"Big Stone, I'm back. Ugh, I'm exhausted today."
After Yue Jiu entered her room, she took off her shoes and threw herself onto the bed.
"Ah, this feels so good. I wish I could just lie in bed all day and not move. I don't even need to eat or drink."
At this moment, the stone monster that Yue Jiu Nian had been hiding had also woken up. It mumbled from inside the backpack, "Yue Jiu Nian, you're back! By the way, didn't you say you were going to take an exam at some school in the human world today? How did it go?"
Yue Jiu Nian reached into her backpack, took out the stone monster, and placed it on her pillow, saying, "Ugh~ Don't even mention it. It annoys me. I didn't know a single question on that stupid exam. I just wrote random answers. That score would probably scare the people outside to death."
Yue Jiu felt a little guilty when she thought about how high Jiang Hu's expectations were for her, but it was only a little bit, because not getting into university was a good thing for her.
Seeing Yue Jiu Nian's frustration, the stone monster said, "Well, okay, actually I don't really understand what you're talking about, but if it's something that's bothering you, I think it's better not to continue doing it, because it's not fun at all."
After listening to the stone demon's words, Yue Jiu thought they made a lot of sense, so she nodded and said, "You're right. As a demon, I should naturally live happily. I'd better not do anything that makes me unhappy. Hmph~ To make myself feel better, I've decided to hand in a blank exam paper tomorrow! Hahaha~"
Having made this important decision, Yue Jiu Nian's mood instantly brightened. She had already thought it through. The real Jiang Nian was long dead, and she was just a demon living in Jiang Nian's 'skin'. Why should she live as the real Jiang Nian? Besides, it was such a tiring life, and it wasn't good at all. So she felt it was better to 'get rid of' herself as soon as possible.
"Niannian~ It's time to eat."
Just as Yue Jiu had figured things out, Jiang Hu downstairs suddenly called her down for dinner.
When Yue Jiu heard Jiang Hu's voice, she suddenly felt that the Jiang family was actually quite good to her. A monster who had lived alone for a long time would feel a little bit of emotion and reluctance when she encountered such 'family affection'.
However, Yue Jiu Nian quickly dismissed this feeling, because no matter how good they were, they were never the same kind of 'people' as herself.
Having thought it through, Yue Jiu Nian got out of bed and replied to Jiang Hu, "Okay, I understand. I'll be down in a bit."
Seeing that Yue Jiu Nian was about to leave again, the stone monster said, "Actually, you don't need to hide me. It seems that no one comes into this room, and even if someone does, they won't be able to find me."
Just as Yue Jiu Nian was about to put the stone monster into her backpack, she immediately stopped what she was doing upon hearing its words and said, "Emm, sure, as long as you don't grow eyes or a nose or anything, and you're not scary, I won't put you away."
As Yue Jiu was speaking, the people downstairs were urging her again.
"Niannian, come down quickly, or the food will get cold."
"Okay, I'll be right down."
Yue Jiu thought to herself, "How could the food that was just cooked get cold so quickly? Father Jiang just likes to exaggerate."
Although she thought Jiang Hu was exaggerating, Yue Jiu Nian still quickly left the room and ran downstairs.
"Here I am!"
"Come on, we have your favorite fish today: steamed sea bass and braised fish. How does it look? Doesn't it look delicious?"
Mr. Jiang enthusiastically recommended dishes to his "little darling," and the "little darling" was very satisfied with today's meal.
Yue Jiu smelled the fragrance and said, "Wow~ It's nice, this smells so good~ I really like it."
"Haha~ This is something I specially asked Auntie to make for you, come and try it."
Huang Qing also smiled broadly at Yue Jiunian and even put a large piece of braised fish on Yue Jiunian's plate, which made Yue Jiunian very satisfied.
