Isn’t This Taking Advantage of Cultural Differences to Bully Dragons? Shameless! (2)
The demon insect said, “No, no, no. I didn’t mean this.”
Shi An cocked his head in confusion. “Then what do you mean?”
The demon insect coughed quietly and said, “I know that until you fully recover your strength and officially go to war with the humans, you aren’t ready to reveal your identity for the time being and there is no way to break the relationship through this method. However, according to my understanding of humans, your relationship is unstable now and could be said as an ambiguous period. It’s very easy to break it off!”
He continued with a plan, “So as long as you’re willing to go through with it, you can randomly look for a reason and express that you guys are unsuitable and it’ll be okay!”
That was what happened in all those dramas he secretly watched some time ago!
Shi An revealed a thoughtful look.
Although the demon insect was not very reliable most of the time… indeed had a good idea this time.
Anyway, the subject hadn’t been discussed yet, so it would be better to just end things and get away from it!
“You’re right.”
Shi An nodded solemnly. “Let’s do it like this!”
The weight was finally off his mind and sleepiness returned.
With a yawn, Shi An turned and climbed into bed, burying himself inside a bed made of gold and silver jewelry.
The focus of the conversation turned to sleep.
The Eye stopped crying and just glared viciously at the demon insect in front of him, who was also defiant and glared back menacingly, looking like a fight was about to break out.
Black smoke: “…”
I genuinely don’t feel like mediating the quarrel.
It floated back into its little box and closed the lid with a snap, not paying attention to outside matters, just wanting to sleep.
The two remaining creatures were staring at each other and the atmosphere was very tense.

The sun was setting when Shi An finally woke up with his eyes open.
He yawned and lazily sat up from the bed.
“My lord, you’re awake!” The demon insect was the first to rush over. “Do you want to drink water? Or eat snacks?”
The Eye was passive-aggressive. “Bah! Kissing up!”
It handed over a bouquet of flowers and said in an aria-like tone, “Oh, my lord, you’re still beautiful after not seeing you for a long time! You were so prestigious when you were a dragon that even the sun wasn’t as splendid as you. When you were a human, nothing in this world could compare to your eyes–”
The demon insect’s expression was twisted. “Bah! Artificial!”
One side of the Eye’s eyelid was swollen and one side of the demon insect’s cheek was bruised.
It looked like they had a vicious fight.
Shi An: “…”
I think both of you are seriously ill.
He didn’t bother to pay attention to the two crazy demons in front of him and lifted the covers, getting out of bed.
Shi An reached over to his phone and opened the screen.
A few messages came from Wang Li and Zhao She, who had learned that Shi An had now been discharged from the hospital and had all sent messages expressing concern for his recovery.
There were also a few messages from Lin Yanming, who, apart from asking about his health, also asked how long it would take for Shi An to return to class.
He said he was distraught because it was now very close to the first academic year examination and the official classification of their classes would be based on the results of the academic year examination, so he advised Shi An to take it seriously.
One was from Shi Rui, but Shi An didn’t even look at it and pressed the delete button.
The last one was from Mu Heng.
“See you at the door at 6:20.”
In his usual style, it was concise, without any unnecessary and lengthy messages.
Shi An looked at the time.
It was already 6:12 and Mu Heng should be arriving soon.
Before leaving, Shi An nodded solemnly to the three worried demonic creatures behind him. “Don’t worry.”
It would be easy to break things off straight away! Piece of cake!
After descending the stairs, Mu Heng’s car was already parked there.
He was standing with his back against the car door, his long silver hair tied high behind his head, his eyelashes drooping in silence, looking as if he were a silent statue.
Mu Heng lifted his eyes and looked in the direction where the footsteps were coming from.
The afterglow of the setting sun gilded the young man’s slender form with a thin layer of gold, and his fair, soft cheeks were marked with a bit of red as if he had just woken up.
Mu Heng stepped forward.
But unexpectedly, the young man in front of him suddenly took a step back, putting some distance between them.
Shi An raised his eyes, looked toward the man in front of him, and said in all seriousness,
“I don’t like your coat.”
It was black and didn’t look good at all.
Mu Heng: “…?”
Shi An said solemnly, “I don’t think we’re very suitable.”
Mu Heng was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly.
He took a step forward with his long legs, instantly reducing their distance.
Shi An: “???”
Why is this different from what I thought it would be?
The man lowered his eyes to gaze intently at him, his voice low and calm. “Indeed.”
Mu Heng gazed at the young man in front of him and said, “After all, all my favorite coats are at your place.”
Shi An: “…”
Wait, this didn’t seem like the right direction.
He thought for a moment and tried to bring the conversation back on track, stammering, “T-Then I will return them to you.”
Mu Heng leaned down and gave the young man a quick peck on the corner of his lips. “No need.”
The man’s blue eyes were gilded with soft golden light from the setting sun, like a burning fire leaping in the night.
His voice was low and muffled, without a ripple, with a hint of bitter aggression.
Mu Heng said calmly, “If you want it, this body is also yours.”
