Panda Cub, So Cute and Fierce 15

Chapter 15: Demon

=====================

“W-what is it?” Hai Yuesheng asked cautiously. The person in front of her was family who had grown up with Qiu Si. She couldn’t afford to offend her at all!

He Jingsu sized up Hai Yuesheng with a serious expression, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. While she was deep in thought, no one else spoke.

Bei Queting was amusedly watching the show from the side, while Qiu Si felt a little guilty.

As for Hai Yuesheng, her heart was in her throat.

“Isn’t the third year of high school very busy?” He Jingsu finally spoke.

“Huh? Ah! It is very busy!” Hai Yuesheng nodded repeatedly. After all, they were facing the college entrance exams; everyone was busy.

“Since you’re so busy, why do you always have time to come and find Si Si?” He Jingsu asked, puzzled. Couldn’t she wait until after the exams to find her? What if this affected her own studies?

Hai Yuesheng was speechless. She wanted to see Qiu Si, so of course, she would squeeze out time no matter what!

But looking at the face that resembled Qiu Si’s, she felt she couldn’t say that. She smiled awkwardly. “W-well, people need to rest too, right? So I come over during my breaks.”

“Oh,” He Jingsu replied, then said very seriously, “Focus on your studies!”

Her innocent little face, combined with her serious, lecturing tone, made Bei Queting, who was standing to the side, laugh. But then she felt that laughing now would undermine her authority, so she turned away, lowered her head, and let out a small laugh, her shoulders shaking slightly.

How can my Daidai be this cute?

Hai Yuesheng was stunned. Looking at He Jingsu’s face, if she didn’t know better, she would have thought she was her mother. Where did she learn to lecture like that?

“Ah, we’re all students. Studies come first,” Hai Yuesheng nodded numbly, her gaze toward Qiu Si pitiful and full of bitterness.

Qiu Si saw her expression and suddenly let out a low laugh. She took He Jingsu’s wrist and said, “Daidai, let’s go. Time for lunch.”

“Okay,” He Jingsu nodded, but she still shot a wary look at Hai Yuesheng before she left.

Hai Yuesheng was speechless. Her heart felt even more bitter.

Bei Queting walked beside He Jingsu, feeling both amused and helpless at her behavior.

The four of them went to the school cafeteria and found a small private room to sit in. He Jingsu looked at the food in front of her and sighed softly, but she wasn’t as gloomy as before. After all, it had been a while since school started, and she was gradually getting used to it.

During the meal, they chatted about their academic progress and learned that Hai Yuesheng wanted to major in journalism and media in the future.

Hearing this, the others all looked at her, not expecting her to want to study this.

“Hmph, don’t you think the news these days lacks journalistic standards?” Hai Yuesheng said, her chin slightly raised. The news these days, in pursuit of traffic, had almost lost its original purpose!

The other three all nodded. The news these days had indeed changed.

“So, maybe I can’t change much, but if there are more people like us, maybe we can change the atmosphere a little?” Hai Yuesheng said softly. At the very least, they shouldn’t let the “traffic is king” mentality completely take over.

“Good luck,” Bei Queting smiled faintly. People like Hai Yuesheng also wanted to make the world a better place.

He Jingsu nodded in agreement.

“Of course, I’ll do my best!” Hai Yuesheng’s face lit up with a smile.

Qiu Si saw her bright, energetic smile and also smiled faintly.

After lunch, the four of them returned to their dorms. He Jingsu tidied up a bit and then teleported onto Bei Queting’s bed. Bei Queting was already lying down, so she landed right on top of her.

Bei Queting’s body stiffened for a moment, then she placed a hand on her head and stroked it gently. “You’re here,” she said softly.

“Mhm, mhm!” He Jingsu nodded repeatedly, very consciously lifting Bei Queting’s covers and slipping inside. Then she wrapped an arm around her waist and held her. “Time to sleep!”

Being suddenly held in her arms, Bei Queting’s throat tightened. After a moment, she seemed to find her voice again. “Why didn’t you change back to your true form today?”

Didn’t this one love to sleep in her true form the most?

“I want to squeeze together with you. It’s warmer!” He Jingsu mumbled, nuzzling her shoulder. As if that wasn’t enough, she threw a leg over Bei Queting’s, holding her like an octopus.

Bei Queting was speechless.

The girl’s light, shallow breaths fanned across her neck. She felt her heart tighten. She lowered her gaze to hide the thoughts in her eyes and sighed inwardly, letting her hold her.

At this moment, she felt like Daidai’s panda plushie.

He Jingsu, completely unaware, quickly fell asleep holding Bei Queting. However, she didn’t know that after she left her dorm, someone had suddenly appeared out of thin air in her and Qiu Si’s room.

“You!” Qiu Si’s eyes widened. She looked at Hai Yuesheng, who had suddenly appeared, and was too shocked to speak.

She’s a demon too?

“Si Si, don’t be surprised. I know you are too,” Hai Yuesheng said, drawing all the curtains in the room to prevent any possibility of being seen. She pulled over a chair and sat in front of Qiu Si, her face full of distress. “Does Junior He have some misunderstanding about me?”

Qiu Si ignored her question. She stared at Hai Yuesheng and frowned. “How do you know I am too?”

She didn’t think she had revealed any clues.

Hai Yuesheng’s expression suddenly turned awkward. “Do you remember in your first year, you ran into someone in the bathroom who didn’t have a sanitary pad? That was me.”

Qiu Si was speechless.

She remembered now. She hadn’t wanted to go to the crowded bathroom, so she had deliberately walked further to a bathroom on another floor where fewer people went. When she went in, she happened to run into someone who asked her for a sanitary pad. She didn’t have one on her, so she had teleported back to the dorm to get one.

“So you sensed the spiritual energy fluctuation then?” Qiu Si asked.

“Mhm, mhm! And I recognized your voice!” She had noticed her when she first enrolled. She was so soft, and her voice was so soft, like a sticky rice ball, instantly awakening her protective instincts.

“…Since you’re a demon, why didn’t you go back yourself then?” Qiu Si asked, puzzled. She could have gone back herself, couldn’t she?

“W-well, you just happened to be there,” Hai Yuesheng said, a little bashfully.

“Then what kind of demon are you?” Qiu Si asked curiously.

“A sea otter! Cute, right?” Hai Yuesheng giggled, looking at Qiu Si. “What about you? What kind of demon are you?”

Qiu Si’s little face wrinkled.

“Are you the kind of sea otter that commits domestic violence?”
