Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest
Chapter 896 - 896 Xie Ruoxi side story

Chapter 896: Xie Ruoxi side story Chapter 896: Xie Ruoxi side story There’s an unwritten rule in the family.

On someone’s birthday, everyone else finds a reason to go out of town, and all the kids are taken away, leaving Yan Yu and the birthday ‘Little Fortune Star’ to enjoy their two-person world alone.

Of course, if it’s Yan Yu’s birthday, then everyone stays at home and doesn’t go out, and may even…

Anyway, thanks to this rule, Xie Ruoxi also has the precious opportunity that she doesn’t have to share with anyone else.

On the evening before her birthday, Xie Ruoxi was very happy.

In the past, he always demanded more than one could handle. I didn’t have the courage to refuse, but now I can exclusively have him without any excuses!

A few hours later.

Quack, help!

It turns out that what should have been dealt with by two or three people, if all given to one person to eat, was likely to cause problems.

The next morning, after Yan Yu had prepared breakfast and went up to knock on the door again, he found that Xie Ruoxi still hadn’t gotten up.

“My legs are weak!” She cried out with a trembling voice, “My hands are shaking too, I can’t get up!”

“No way.” Yan Yu pushed the door open, “Then let me dress you, but only for today~”

“Hehe, hubby you’re so nice.” Xie Ruoxi immediately smiled radiantly and hugged him from behind.

Not bad, making progress. Women who know how to eat are indeed healthier.

Yan Yu smiled as he helped her dress. Little Ruoxi was still a bit overwhelmed by the favor and chattered:

“We’re supposed to go to the anime expo this afternoon, you promised to accompany me.”

“Mhm, but we can’t cosplay, okay?”

“Certainly, I don’t want to be recognized and end up in the news again.”

“Speaking of the news, it reminds me of someone who went on a live TV show and announced to the national audience ‘I like 2D’…”

“Stop it, stop it, stop it!” Xie Ruoxi quickly covered her ears and kept shaking her tiny head.

After putting on her clothes and skirt, Xie Ruoxi suddenly realized: Wait, this seems to be…

“Yan, Yan Yu!” she said timidly, “This dress, it doesn’t seem to be mine?”

“Hahahaha!” Yan Yu forcefully put the skirt on her, then let out a villainous and evil laugh, exclaiming wildly, “I didn’t say it was your dress, did I? Actually, it’s one that Hongyu left behind last time!”

“No, don’t!” Xie Ruoxi started to cry out.

“Did you think I was going to dress you for no reason? Haha, this morning, you’re going to cosplay as Zhou Hongyu for me!”

Under Yan Yu’s coercion and bribery, poor little Ruoxi finally rolled her eyes and let out a sharp screech!

——————————

Yan Yu waited downstairs for nearly 20 minutes before Xie Ruoxi finally came downstairs.

She was still wearing Zhou Hongyu’s clothes, with a blue denim jacket on top, and a grey plaid pleated skirt on the bottom—Hongyu originally preferred to wear pants, but since she got together with Yan Yu, she also started experimenting with clothing that accentuated femininity.

Beyond the outfit, Xie Ruoxi had also applied some light makeup. Eyeliner outlined the curvature of peach blossom eyes, eyebrows slightly raised, making her look less coquettish but more valorous. The lip line was drawn thinner, and when pursed, she looked even more formidable. If you stood far away and looked at her face, she was at least… no, ninety percent similar to Zhou Hongyu!

The reason for deducting one point was her trembling, small-animal-like demeanor, which was totally unlike the vibe Zhou Hongyu ought to give off.

But this was exactly the effect Yan Yu wanted! If he had wanted a 100% carbon copy of Zhou Hongyu, why wouldn’t he fly to Nanchuan Province to have a secret rendezvous with her? What he wanted was this contrast between the appearance of Zhou Hongyu and the inside person still being Xie Ruoxi—it’s the differential cuteness!

“Come here,” Yan Yu said with a smile beaming across his face, “Sit beside me.”

“Yan Yu…” Xie Ruoxi pleaded, “Forget it, I can’t act it out, I should just go remove the makeup…”

“Don’t you dare leave!” Yan Yu quickly grabbed her wrist, “Xie Hongyu, you stay right there!”

“Woo!”

“Now, say the lines,” Yan Yu commanded.

Xie Ruoxi sighed, knowing she had no way to deal with him, so she promptly knelt on the ground, her expression quickly turning as if she was about to cry. She grabbed Yan Yu’s hands and pleaded with a sobbing tone:

“Please, I’ll do anything! Without you, I…”

Yan Yu struggled to keep a straight face, trying not to let himself laugh out loud.

But Zhou Hongyu, who was known for his fiery temper, was actually kneeling on the ground, humbly saying “I’ll do anything”, how hilarious was that, and how could he possibly hold it in?

“Pfft, hahahahahaha!”

Xie Ruoxi finally got annoyed, forcefully throwing off the hands of the laughing Yan Yu, and turned to run back upstairs, but was caught by the anticipatory Yan Yu, who tightly wrapped his arms around her waist and dragged her back to the sofa.

All day long you have me play Ningning, play Ye Jun, play Zhou Hongyu, does Xie Ruoxi have no temper? Humph!

I won’t deal with you anymore!

She puffed up her cheeks with all her might, resolved that no matter what Yan Yu called her to say or do next, she wouldn’t continue to play along.

“Aiya, where did this little pufferfish come from?” Yan Yu feigned surprise and reached out to poke her puffed-up cheeks.

Xie Ruoxi didn’t want to pay him any attention.

“Ah, turns out it’s a farmed pufferfish from Jingnan, Baoqing…”

“Baoqing doesn’t have pufferfish!” Xie Ruoxi blurted out loudly.

Then she realized she had taken the bait and interacted with him again, quickly turning her head away to continue ignoring him.

Cold war!

“Alright, alright, it was my fault, okay?” Yan Yu tried to turn her back towards him.

It’s obviously your fault! Xie Ruoxi put some force into her shoulders, refusing to let him turn her.

“How about I share some snacks from your sister Zhao with you?” Yan Yu brought out the big guns, “It’s from her private stash, something delicious you’ve definitely never tried before.”

Xie Ruoxi was slightly tempted but instinctively retorted:

“What snacks from sister Zhao haven’t I tried… Humph, I won’t deal with you.”

Yan Yu then stood up, walked to the kitchen, and from behind the gas pipe retrieved a plastic bag.

Seeing that he actually brought out something, Xie Ruoxi couldn’t help but stand up and peer over, curious about what secret snack it could be.

Yan Yu turned around only to see Xie Ruoxi swoosh back onto the sofa and skillfully turn her head away, refusing to look at him.

“Come and see, what’s this… Ah! The flower cake that Little Compassion brought over last time!” Yan Yu deliberately said out loud.

Xie Ruoxi still didn’t turn back, only her throat moved slightly.

“Want to try?” Yan Yu unwrapped it and brought it to her mouth.

“I don’t want to eat it!” Xie Ruoxi firmly rejected him.

Then she thought again, if I don’t eat it, he’ll eat it, and he’s getting rewarded on top of doing something wrong, how can there be such a good deal?

So, she quickly snatched the flower cake and started nibbling on it, her cheeks bulging out as she ate, making her look like a little hamster.

After Xie Ruoxi had finished eating, her anger had subsided, and she seriously lectured him:

“Don’t always make me play this or that. It’s fine to have fun when I’m happy, but when I’m not happy, you do this too, can you justify doing this to me?”

“I’m sorry,” Yan Yu bowed his head.

“I am Xie Ruoxi, not someone else’s substitute!” Xie Ruoxi said loudly, “And you’re not allowed to treat me with the thought of making me a substitute. You must truly and genuinely like me for who I am, understand?”

“Understood!” Yan Yu grabbed the hem of her skirt and suddenly smiled, “What I like now is Xie Ruoxi, not a substitute for Zhou Hongyu!”

“Hey, what are you doing! Woo!”

Surprised all of a sudden, Xie Ruoxi’s mouth was once again expertly sealed, and a phrase suddenly flashed through her mind:

Digging your own grave.
