"Sure enough, it's raining."
The water droplets stirred up dust and brought the unique smell of rain. Li Mo had already discovered the existence of rain before he left the market.
Tentatively looking at the sky from under the dripping eaves, the sky began to gradually turn the street scene into black. It seemed that the rain would not stop until the evening.
"It's a miscalculation. I'm still in a hurry to go home and cook."
Li Mo picked up the large and small bags of ingredients that were about to slip from his hands, and put his head back under the eaves.
Today was originally my first day cooking in my new home. Even the little fox who had a reservation said he would take time to come back to enjoy the meal, but now he is trapped here by this sudden rain.
"Why are you cooking as Ali again?"
The Demon King, who was empty-handed, slowly followed Li Mo out of the supermarket. The sudden splash of water only slightly landed on her forehead before he quickly hid behind Li Mo.
"Stop being so verbose, what do you have to complain about, you freeloader?"
Li Mo put down the ingredients in his hands and grabbed her petite head, stroking her beautiful silver hair roughly.
"Uh-huh——"
Although the Demon King had a bored expression on his face, he did not move his hand away. He just stuck out his tongue and secretly made some disgusting noises before saying anything in reply.
Li Mo saw her complaining eyes through his fingers, and in retaliation for an eye for an eye, he lightly flicked her forehead, drove her away from him, and then picked up the ingredients again.
He suddenly remembered that this supermarket should have umbrellas that could be borrowed for free.
Looking around, I found an umbrella lying alone in the umbrella stand in the corner of the door.
"Hurry up and grab your umbrella, we're going back."
Li Mo, who had no hands to spare, naturally gave orders to those who had no hands to spare.
But the expressionless Demon King looked away and curled his lips and replied:
"No, I don't want to use this umbrella."
"But this is the only one left, and it doesn't look bad."
"It's not this kind of problem. I have to use my own umbrella."
"All our things are in the Demon King's City, and we won't borrow anyone else's if we can give them to you now."
"Then I would rather not hold an umbrella."
Li Mo looked at Mo, who turned his back and didn't want to talk to him anymore, and was a bit at a loss.
Nothing happened today that made her feel bad, and she didn't look like she was losing her temper. No matter how long she stayed with the Demon King, sometimes she still couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
"You really don't want to fight?"
"I really don't want to fight."
What a determined attitude.
Li Mo couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the Demon King peeking at him from below with squinting eyes.
"Then I'll go back first and pick you up later."
"Um."
"Don't get caught in the rain."
After taking a second look at this confusing demon king, he warned again, and then Li Mo ran into the rain carrying the ingredients.
"Um."
Looking at Li Mo's running back, the Demon King, who was left alone, quietly agreed to Li Mo's concern.
Looking at the sky again, some memories from a long time ago suddenly appeared in my mind. It had been so long that I was not tired of eating the food cooked by A Li. It had been so long that I was even smaller than now, but not enough to write a long story. It was just A small past incident that was forgotten by that idiot Zhijiang.
I remember it also rained suddenly that day.
...
"Eh-"
The Demon King buried his entire face in the textbook in front of him while making a sound of disgust.
Li Mo, who was in front of him, saw her looking like this again. He couldn't help but hit the blackboard with the chalk, blurring the beautiful triangle he drew:
"Hey hey hey, we're still in class now!"
"But, Ah Li, your class is so boring! I'm so sleepy! What's the use of calculating the degrees of the angles of a triangle!"
"You can't even ask such a simple question and you'll be laughed at by the neighbor's kids. Do you think it's useful?"
"Eh-"
The Demon King seemed to be disgusted with Li Mo's answer. He slightly raised his face buried in the book, only to reveal his eyes and stare at Li Mo with disgust.
"Ali, you are so surreal, but in reality, how can we have any neighbor's children here!"
"It doesn't matter if you have it or not. Making progress is not for others to see, it is a challenge for yourself."
Li Mo adjusted his flat glasses and showed the dignity that a teacher should have. As the chief teacher of Demon King City, he could not be refuted by the Demon King's fallacies.
"But, it's just boring, boring, boring, boring!"
She buried her face on the table again, flailing and kicking her hands and feet as if rolling on the spot. Her short silver hair was messed up by herself, and the small table specially made for her by Li Mo also screamed. But she was just fooling around and didn't care about anything else.
"Then tell me what kind of class is not boring."
"The kind of class where you can chat with your classmates or get enough sleep as long as you study hard!"
He raised his head and expressed his opinions excitedly, but of course he was hit hard on the head by the textbook.
"Be more serious!"
"Yu is very serious. Speaking of which, Yu has no classmates at all. It's so boring..."
Touching the top of his head that had been beaten by the textbook, what appeared in the Demon King's eyes was not tears of pain, but a hint of loneliness.
Li Mo relented, thinking that this would be the end of today's class.
"Isn't this great? You don't have to ask your parents to attend classes at home. Many people would envy you."
"But without classmates going to school together or coming home from school together, there is no atmosphere of youth. The protagonists in the comics all use this time to brew up the sour smell of love."
After closing the textbook, the devil regained her energy and vigorously promoted the unreliable theory in her mind.
Li Mo really didn't know what kind of brain circuit she used to understand this.
"Then what suggestions do you have?"
Li Mo took off his glasses and sat in front of her, resting his face on his hands and looking at her with interest.
"How about we pretend to go to school together!"
He patted the table and rubbed himself up, putting the tip of his nose against Li Mo's. Without hesitation, he made a suggestion that he had thought of for a long time.
"Haha, what is this?"
Li Mo knocked her forehead and gently drove her away, but he still couldn't help laughing.
Blushing, she pinched Li Mo's mouth to stop him from laughing:
"Don't laugh! This is a proposal made by the great Demon King. It is a masterpiece that spans centuries!"
"Then, great Lord Demon King, as your glorious retinue, I have something to report to you."
"Yeah, that's right, let's talk!"
He led her to the entrance of the royal city and gently opened the door. There was light rain falling in the dark sky.
"Great Demon King, it's raining now."
"Eh?!"
The Demon King stayed at the door hesitantly. Li Mo poked her shoulder to make her raise her head and showed a wicked smile:
"What should I do? Do you still want to go to school?"
"I want to go, of course I want to go, I'm going to get an umbrella now!"
What's incredible is that I usually wouldn't go out even if I could only get my shoes wet, but now I'm so excited to leave Li Mo behind and run to the utility room to find an umbrella.
It was rare that she was in such a mood, so I just stayed with her for a while.
Li Mo followed her footsteps and caught up.
"Ah, this is the only one left that can be used."
After rummaging for a long time, all I found were broken umbrellas, and the only one that could be used was the one that Li Mo often used.
This is a rustic cyan umbrella. The wooden handle is stained by time. It is obviously an ordinary umbrella, but the owner of the umbrella is still a little stingy and carved himself on the handle. name.
Stroking the word "Li Mo" crookedly carved with a knife.
Looking back, these may be the first two words I recognized.
"What's the matter? I've been looking at this umbrella. If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Li Mo, who was catching up, stuck his head out from behind her.
"Who, who likes such ugly umbrellas? This is the only one that can be used, so from today on, this will be Yu's umbrella."
He quickly hugged the umbrella tightly in his arms and turned around gracefully to face Li Mo. You could see her smiling happily.
"Lord Demon King, why don't we forget about it today..."
"No, we've already come this far!"
He simply rejected Li Mo's proposal and roughly took his hand and dragged him to the door, with the drizzle of rain falling again in front of him.
With some difficulty, she opened the umbrella on the side. This long-handled umbrella was not friendly to her body shape at all.
"Are you ready?"
As if some solemn ceremony was being held, the Demon King asked him solemnly before setting off.
"anytime."
Li Mo smiled helplessly. Since he had already accompanied her, he might as well accompany her with her high mood. However, the chief housekeeper of Demon King City still had to remind her:
"Is it okay to just walk to the forest where the witch is and turn back?"
"That's enough, then... let's go!"
The Demon King raised his umbrella and took a step forward, but was pulled back violently by someone.
"Master Demon King, can you raise the umbrella higher?"
It was Li Mo who pulled her back.
However, it was Li Mo's head that was stuck in the umbrella that pulled him back.
"But this is the limit, huh huh huh!"
He stood on tiptoes and stretched out his hands, struggling to lift the umbrella to the highest position, but at the end of the day he could not even reveal his eyes from the umbrella.
Sighing, he took the umbrella from her hand and held it between the two of them, which was a good distance.
"That's it."
"It's long-winded, it's only natural for juniors to hold umbrellas for seniors."
With a rosy face, he looked away, raised his hand and gently grabbed Li Mo's sleeve, pulling him into the rain.
The rain fell on the umbrella, pattering.
"Hey, why am I a junior?"
"That's how it is set up. Yu is a senior in the track and field club who can do all kinds of sports and has excellent grades, and A'li is a freshman who admires Yu Cai for joining the club. Today, the new semester starts, and we are on our way to school together."
"So professional?! He even has a script?!"
"Humph, of course!"
Wiping his nose, he raised his face proudly, quietly took Li Mo's hand, and leaned closer to him, but the distance between the two of them was not disrupted by the distance.
"Then when will you let me be your senior? Please, it seems very interesting."
"Um--"
Deliberately pretending to be thinking and dragging out his voice for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Mo, and chuckled:
"Next time, next time A Li will be the senior."
"Oh, we've made an appointment."
Li Mo made an agreement.
But the sound of rain drowned out the Demon King's answer.
...
The Demon King, who was standing under the dripping roof, suddenly moved as if he had made up his mind. He grabbed the ugly umbrella with the supermarket logo on it and chased it into the rain.
"Wait a minute, Ali!"
"What's the matter? You suddenly changed your mind?"
"Because I promised you, senior."
"Haha, what is that?"
Li Mo, who was hiding under the umbrella, slowed down and cooperated tacitly with the devil.
His eyes were just exposed from under the umbrella held high by the Demon King.
