Special Chapter: The Little Demon Lord p2
In the end, while Chen Jianing was washing up, Lu Li went to her room and stole a pair of the smallest size underwear to give to the little demon lord. Long Jing huffed at him for a long time before she slowly got dressed, and then dawdled as she put on her hot pants.
Lu Li didn’t know if Long Jing was angry in the end, angry that he hadn’t followed the rules. He was also a little afraid that Long Jing would really tattle on him to Uncle Long. He apprehensively walked Long Jing to the door and was about to say something to keep her, but who would have thought that Long Jing would angrily open the door and rush out.
The Little Tiger was still behind him. Lu Li had some things he couldn’t say, so he could only awkwardly raise his hand. “Have a safe trip! Don’t be angry. Brother-in-law was a little heavy-handed this time…”
Long Jing paid no heed. She walked to the gate of the courtyard, then suddenly turned around. Seeing that Lu Li was still staring at him eagerly, she deliberately put on a stern face. “You smelly brother-in-law, keep my June 1st Children’s Day gift for me. I… I’ll be back tomorrow!”
After speaking, she left without looking back.
The Little Tiger asked strangely, “Hey, Lu Li, how hard did you hit her? Long Jing’s face is so red.”
Lu Li’s heart pounded. “It should, it should be from the sun.”
…
Long Jing indeed did not go back on her word. The next morning, Lu Li heard someone ringing the doorbell. He rushed to put on his shorts before the Little Tiger and went to open the door first. The little bit of filth and rationality in a man’s heart were intertwined, making him both look forward to Long Jing being at the door and also not hoping it was really her. When he opened the door, he saw a graceful young girl standing under the still-gentle sunlight. To call her a little girl was no longer appropriate, but to refer to her as a young lady was also an exaggeration. The Long Jing of this age was somewhere in between, hard to distinguish, just like Lu Li’s relationship with her, ambiguous and unclear.
When had Long Jing started to come to his house so frequently? Ever since she had transferred to this city?
Long Jing had a sun hat on her head. The hat covered half her face, revealing only a delicate chin and pink lips. The color of her lips was not the moist red of a married woman after being nourished by clouds and rain, nor was it the bloodless, bland pale red of a yellow-haired girl, but was crystal clear and alluringly glossy. Her cheeks still had a hint of baby fat, making her face look a little chubby. Do all little girls of this age have a bit of baby fat? Lu Li thought.
His gaze moved downward. She was wearing a white sunscreen jacket, and below that, a pair of shorts, and on her feet, a pair of thick platform shoes. Lu Li felt he might have a generation gap with her and didn’t quite appreciate her hip-hop style.
“Brother-in-law, I’m here to get my gift.” Long Jing pressed down on the brim of her hat, not letting Lu Li see her expression.
As she spoke, she squeezed into the room. The moment she entered, she casually threw her sunscreen jacket onto the coffee table. Underneath, she was only wearing a small tank top. Even so, she was already drenched in fragrant sweat, the fabric on her back soaked, clinging to her delicate skin. The summers in the south had this drawback: just standing still would make you break out in a sweat. Not just her upper body; under Long Jing’s denim shorts, the insides of her chubby thighs were also covered in beads of sweat.
Ever since the absurd events of yesterday, Lu Li’s gaze when he looked at Long Jing had changed. He would inadvertently scrutinize her with a sexual gaze. Before, if Long Jing had lain on the sofa so sweatily, Lu Li would have only been concerned about his sofa cushion. But, he asked himself, was what he was doing really right? Were his actions yesterday really what a brother-in-law and an adult should have done?
The age of sexual consent in Shenzhou was 14, and thanks to Shenzhou’s traditional concept of early marriage, if the 14-year-old Long Jing agreed, he wouldn’t be breaking the law, just that it would be detrimental to private morals. Lu Li shook his head, throwing the increasingly bold thoughts out of his mind. The Little Tiger was still at home. What was he thinking?
Long Jing lay on the sofa for a while and her sweat dried. She was engrossed in watching TV, as if she didn’t want to bring up yesterday’s events at all.
Lu Li sat beside her, smelling the scent on her, a mixture of a young girl’s natural fragrance and a faint smell of sweat. His heart was restless. He shifted his butt outward, trying his best not to look at Long Jing. The little demon lord lay on her back on the sofa, lifting one leg and resting it on the sofa cushion without any regard for her image. The polyester shorts, due to her large movements, were pulled tight, vaguely revealing the muscle lines between the girl’s thighs and her tightly wrapped white underwear.
She was doing it on purpose.
Lu Li thought.
“Long Jing, er, mm, did you call Uncle Long yesterday?” Lu Li asked. The TV was showing a childish environmental cartoon. He didn’t know how Long Jing could watch it with such relish.
Long Jing turned her head, her gaze falling on Lu Li, and revealed her white teeth. “Of course I did. Such a big thing happened yesterday. I definitely had to tell my family.” Lu Li’s heart rose. “…What did you tell Uncle Long?” He was most afraid that Long Jing would tell her elders about his excessive behavior yesterday. Then he would really have no face to go and see them again.
Long Jing giggled, gently kicking Lu Li’s thigh with her foot. “I said that yesterday, I just lost a diamond ring of brother-in-law’s, and brother-in-law got angry and wanted to kick me out. My dad even insisted I apologize to you. I didn’t listen to him and then just hung up the phone.” Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Long Jing smiled like a little demon. “You pervert brother-in-law, were you scared? Who asked you to bully me so much yesterday…”
You were the one who seduced me first… Lu Li swallowed these words. It takes two to tango, and he was indeed not qualified to say this. He looked at Long Jing’s triumphant and cunning smile and felt he couldn’t get entangled with this girl anymore. He was living quite comfortably with the girls at home now and didn’t need to cause any more trouble. So he stood up to get the gift, intending to quickly send the little demon lord away.
Long Jing huffed and said, “I’m all sticky after my sweat dried. Brother-in-law, find me a set of clothes. I’ll take a shower first.”
Lu Li looked back at her. “I didn’t prepare any clothes for you. Why don’t you just go home and wash up?”
Just then, the Little Tiger came down from upstairs. Hearing their conversation, she chimed in, “…It’s so hot. It must have been hard for Long Jing to come all this way. Why are you trying to kick her out…” Long Jing quickly nodded. “Exactly! Not only did he not prepare a gift for me, but he’s also being fierce with me and trying to kick me out! You’re just bullying me because Sister Jingyi isn’t here!”
Chen Jianing was fully dressed and looked like she was about to go out. “My aunt is here in Xin’an. I’m going to pick her up. I’ll take her to the mall for lunch and won’t be back until the afternoon. Husband, go to my room and get a set of the smallest size clothes. I still have the clothes from when I was in high school. Find a set for Long Jing and spend some more time with her. She’s just a child. Don’t be angry with her.”
Lu Li had a hard time explaining. The Little Tiger’s understanding of Long Jing was still not deep enough. How could Long Jing be a normal child? This girl was young but cunning, with a head full of ideas inappropriate for her age. The moment the Little Tiger left, in this vast home, only Lu Li and the little demon lord were left.
Long Jing was so happy she shook her head, saying triumphantly, “Did you hear that? Brother-in-law, hurry up and get me some clothes, or I’ll tattle on you to your wife!”
Lu Li feigned fierceness. “If you’re so smug, be careful I don’t spank you!”
Long Jing rolled over and deliberately stuck out her butt. “Go on, go on. If you hit me, you’ll be a confirmed lecher, and you’ll never be able to wash away the shame of making a move on a little girl for the rest of your life.”
Lu Li didn’t want to hit her; he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control himself. He just wanted to get rid of this little rascal now, so he swallowed his anger and went upstairs to get a set of the Little Tiger’s old clothes and threw them to the little rascal. “After you’ve showered and gotten your gift, hurry home!”
Long Jing kicked him and, before Lu Li could retaliate, ran up to the bathroom on the second floor in a flash.
After she had gone upstairs, Lu Li sat helplessly on the sofa, watching the environmental protector on TV defeat the sewage monster once again. It was only when the end credits rolled that Lu Li discovered this cartoon was actually produced with investment from the Shenzhou Energy Group. It turned out it was a homemade cartoon. Had the water price risen again recently?
When a person sits for a long time, their mind naturally starts to wander. Lu Li, for some reason, thought of the full breasts of Zhu Xi, Zhu Qiao, and Yameng, and then of the slender waists and long legs of Jingyi, the Little Tiger, and Baili. Finally, the image of the faint spring colors between Long Jing’s crotch appeared in his mind. That girl had indeed developed. She had fine, curly hair down there. It was just that he didn’t know if she washed and groomed it often. He had heard that some girls from more conservative families had insufficient education in this area, which often led to various gynecological diseases in adulthood.
His thoughts ran wild. Three episodes of the cartoon had already been broadcast, and Long Jing still hadn’t made a sound. Had she fallen in there? Thinking of this, Lu Li went upstairs to the front of the bathroom and knocked gently. “Long Jing, are you still washing?”
No reply. Afraid this little demon lord had accidentally fallen in the bathroom, Lu Li couldn’t care about anything else. He called out twice more and then pushed the door open. The bathroom was steamy, but empty. It was clear this girl had finished her shower a long time ago and had run off somewhere now. Lu Li had a bit of a headache. Why couldn’t this girl be a little more considerate?
“Long Jing, Long Jing! Little grandma, where are you?” Lu Li called for a long time without a reply and could only go and look in each room. It wasn’t until he pushed open the door of Zhu Xi’s room at the end of the corridor that he saw Long Jing rummaging through Zhu Xi’s room. Zhu Xi was away from home for two or three days a week. Today was the day Zhu Xi had gone to pay respects to her imperial father. But there weren’t many girls who had the guts to rummage through Zhu Xi’s room. If Zhu Xi found out, even Long Jing’s dad couldn’t protect her.
Lu Li’s face darkened. “What are you doing?” Entering someone’s room without permission was not a good habit. Lu Li was really getting angry. Zhu Xi was his wife, so he would naturally see things from her perspective.
Long Jing was matter-of-fact, not even turning her head. “Looking for royal scandals. Isn’t that what they all say online? That there are a lot of scandals in the old Zhu family. I want to dig up some inside information to post on my social media account and get a wave of followers.”
“Who gave you permission?”
Lu Li walked up to her and pinched one of her ears. Long Jing cried out in pain as she was led away by Lu Li. “Brother-in-law, what are you doing… it hurts!”
“No pain, no gain!” The moment she said it hurt, Lu Li let go. Who would have thought that Long Jing would suddenly run back into Zhu Xi’s room.
“I’m just looking for some explosive news. I’m not looking at anything else!” She was still righteous, which made Lu Li so angry he laughed. Seeing Lu Li so angry he laughed, Long Jing also got a little scared and wanted to escape while Lu Li wasn’t looking, but she was caught by Lu Li and thrown onto the bed like a pillow.
“Since you like to break into other people’s rooms and rummage around, then you can just stay here. You’re not allowed to go anywhere.” Lu Li stared at her. He saw Long Jing glaring with defiant big eyes, like a pheasant. “You stay here until Zhu Xi comes back. I’ll let you personally explain it to the Fourteenth Princess!”
Long Jing was a typical bully at home. She dared to throw a tantrum with Lu Li, but the moment she heard Zhu Xi’s name, her resolve softened by half, but she still said stubbornly, “…What can she do to me? Sister Jingyi will definitely protect me…” As she said this, she lay on the bed with her arms crossed, in a posture like she was lying in a coffin.
“…Where’s my gift?” she asked, looking at Lu Li. She saw Lu Li just guarding the door, neither leaving nor coming in.
Lu Li had actually bought her a new phone as a gift. He had heard that this girl’s last phone had gotten water damaged, and her family had refused to buy her another one. She had been pitifully borrowing her classmates’ phones to use. But now Lu Li was in a fit of rage. Let alone give her a phone, he wouldn’t even be happy to give her a single hair. So he lifted his chin. “You just pick something from this pile on the floor. That will be your gift.” The things Zhu Xi kept at home were all daily necessities, all small trinkets that weren’t very valuable.
“It’s all just a pile of junk!” she protested with dissatisfaction.
Lu Li gave a cold laugh. “Aren’t you paying a lot of attention to it? Take it or leave it!”
Long Jing pouted and muttered under her breath, “You’re bullying me…” As she spoke, she actually got up and went to rummage through the pile of miscellaneous items. Lu Li watched her with his arms crossed. Long Jing was much fresher after her shower. When he had held her and thrown her onto the bed just now, he could clearly smell the fresh scent of the little girl. She wasn’t wearing the clothes Lu Li had given her, but had found one of Lu Li’s short-sleeved shirts from somewhere. The short-sleeved shirt was big and baggy, the collar askew, revealing half of her red and tender, slender shoulder. When she raised her arm, Lu Li could even see her clean and tender armpit through her loose sleeve, and even that little pink dot was faintly visible in his vision.
The hem of the short-sleeved shirt was too long for her, covering her buttocks and making her look as if she weren’t wearing any pants. Her chubby thighs extended straight down from the hem, and the lines tightened at her knees, making her calves appear slender. Lu Li had heard before that children with long calves grow tall. According to that saying, Long Jing should be taller than Jingyi, right?
She rummaged through the pile of miscellaneous items and actually found a rare object. “Huh? Why does Zhu Xi have an unopened box of razors?” She held up a plastic-packaged object from it. Inside was a pink, razor-like object. Lu Li only took one look and knew it was what Zhu Xi had prepared to shave her pubic hair. When he and Zhu Xi had been having sex, he had mentioned it casually, but he hadn’t expected Zhu Xi to have kept it in mind all this time.
Lu Li wanted to snatch the razor, but Long Jing nimbly dodged him. The little demon lord held up the razor and shouted with a smile, “Why is it still a pink one? Did you use it, brother-in-law? Looking at your expression, it doesn’t seem like it. Then is it Zhu Xi who’s going to use it herself?” This girl’s mind had always been crooked. Sure enough, she had guessed the purpose of this razor. “What is this used to shave? It’s so confusing!”
Lu Li reached out to grab it a few times but grabbed at empty air, hearing Long Jing laugh nonstop. “What are you doing? Brother-in-law, this is what you said, the Children’s Day gift I found myself. Are you going to go back on your word?” Lu Li said, “You don’t even use this thing. Give it back to me, and I’ll give you something else.”
“Who says I don’t use it? I happen to need it!”
Lu Li subconsciously looked down at her abdomen. “You yellow-haired girl, you haven’t even fully grown your hair. What do you need it for?”
Long Jing was furious. “Who says? I happen to be short of a shaving tool! You pervert, you’ve clearly seen it, and you still say my hair hasn’t fully grown!”
Lu Li was momentarily reminded of the enchanting spring scenery from yesterday and swallowed hard. Long Jing keenly sensed the change in her brother-in-law’s mood. A warmth for no reason arose in her heart, and she held the razor behind her back. “Anyway… I want this as my gift. I’ve cut it with scissors myself before… but it’s not very good…”
What nonsense are you talking about… Is this something you can say to me? Lu Li thought.
He noticed Long Jing’s neck was slowly turning red, and she was starting to not dare to meet his gaze directly. The atmosphere also became a little ambiguous because of this.
Lu Li also started to talk nonsense. “If you take this, do you know how to use it?”
“…No. You teach me?”
“Okay.” Lu Li subconsciously nodded, then cleared his throat twice, as if realizing his impropriety. “You can’t find the instructions online either. If you use it randomly, you’ll easily hurt yourself. I’ll give you some guidance.”
Long Jing turned her head away. “What kind of guidance?… You pervert brother-in-law, you want to help me trim it, right?”
“…”
Seeing that Lu Li had no reaction, she handed the razor to him again. “…I used scissors myself last year and cut myself once. I don’t dare to do it myself anymore… You pervert brother-in-law, you help me shave it. Just take it as my gift, okay?”
“Shave, shave what?” Lu Li stammered a little. The resentment he had for her just now had vanished into thin air.
“Shave the hair down there.” Long Jing gritted her pearly teeth and glared at him with shame and anger. “Otherwise, it’s all fluffy and looks so dirty. You pervert brother-in-law, isn’t this your favorite?… Of course, you’re only allowed to shave, not to be handsy! Otherwise, I’ll tell my dad, I’ll tell Uncle Chu, I’ll tell everyone, what you did to me yesterday and today! I’ll say you wanted to rape me!”
Lu Li’s rationality and morality had already melted away yesterday. Today was just a last-ditch struggle. As early as when Long Jing entered this room, he had already been sizing up this little girl, whom he had spanked for many years, with a male gaze.
“Shave it here…?” she asked.
“Let’s go to the bathroom. My room has a private bathroom.”
