Ye Minglu reached into his trouser pocket and took out a bunch of house keys and opened the security door.
This is what he always says every time he goes home, as if someone at home is waiting for his return. However, the room is quiet, and no one responds to his call, making it seem particularly deserted. Emily seems to hear
A gust of cool wind blew by my ears, which made me feel a little messy.
"Is this your home? It's so big."
At this time, Emily, who was following Ye Minglu home, poked her little head in from outside the door, looked at the house carefully with a cute and innocent look, and couldn't help but marvel.
"Huh? Is it big? Just barely!"
It's just that a house for a middle-income family can be owned by people with a decent living standard. When Ye Minglu saw her, she would actually praise this kind of house, as if she had never seen the world before.
"The house we elves live in is several times smaller than your house!"
Emily moved her little hands in an exaggerated way, which seemed to be what she said.
"..."
"Do you live alone?"
"My parents work far away, so I am the only one at home now."
Although the home on Yeming Road is not as tall as the houses of wealthy people, it is still spacious, with two floors and eight meters high and a courtyard. His parents are geological surveyors, and the house is accumulated through high salary.
If you buy it, the monthly fee paid to him is enough for a person's daily living expenses, and there is still enough leftover to do other things.
A year ago, her parents suddenly had to go overseas for survey work. This was the main reason why Ye Minglu lived alone at home.
The facilities in the house are complete. There are bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms on the first floor. The second floor is for bedrooms. One room is on Yeming Road, the other is for parents, and the third is vacant for relatives and friends to visit.
of.
"Wow~~~What a soft chair!"
Emily jumped up and threw herself on the so-called "chair", her black eyes as bright as stars were shining with stars, and she felt novel and curious about all kinds of things in the living room, which made Ye Minglu suspect that she was
It didn't come from ancient times.
"That's a sofa, not a chair." Ye Minglu patted his forehead. How could he meet such a middle school girl who couldn't even tell the difference between a chair and a sofa.
"Where is this box?"
"That's a TV."
"Where's the bucket..."
"Are you stupid? You don't even recognize the water dispenser."
Although she is a little loli with a middle school disease, she doesn't know common furniture. If her family is poor, this white patterned printed dress is not something that poor people can afford.
Ye Minglu believed that not only was she seriously ill with the secondary disease, but she was also an ignorant and brainless little loli. There was a high possibility that such a little girl would be sold by bad guys outside and have to count money for others. If she did anything,
If you have bad intentions, you may succeed easily.
"I am very smart, not a fool. You are not allowed to say that to me..."
Suddenly being called a fool, Emily immediately resisted angrily. In the Kingdom of Elves, she could use light magic spells much faster than other companions. Even some elders could not compare with her, and they all praised her for being smart and talented. Not only
In this way, all kinds of things in life are omnipotent. How can such an elf be a fool?
"In the end, I even identified the furniture wrong..." Ye Minglu said casually.
"It's just...it's just that I'm not familiar with your human things!" Emily's face suddenly turned red and she muttered like she was turning down the volume.
Human society is very different from the Elf Kingdom. High-rise buildings towering into the sky and aircraft flying in the sky are new things that are not found in the Elf Kingdom. To her, they are all kinds of strange.
"That's what you say!" Ye Minglu reluctantly compromised. He couldn't defeat this stubborn and arrogant middle school girl. It didn't matter what she said. Anyway, he didn't lose anything.
"Hmm? You must not believe me again! Just let me say whatever you want, just perfunctory, right?"
Emily frowned when she saw Ye Minglu's casual attitude.
Ye Minglu was startled, and cold sweat formed on her forehead. She looked stupid, but her intuition was so accurate. Fortunately, she couldn't read minds, otherwise she wouldn't be able to hide any secrets from her.
"Cough, cough, just like you said, elves don't know about human society. On the contrary, humans don't know about the existence of elves, so it's still difficult for people to believe it." Ye Minglu coughed and immediately changed the subject.
Move away.
"Ah, that's it! It seems to make sense. I didn't see many things about human beings, and I didn't believe them before."
"Yes, that's it."
"Then you believe what I said?"
"I don't believe it! I haven't seen anything yet, especially your so-called magic."
"Hmph...Ignore you." Emily thought that Ye Minglu was going to admit that the elves were a fact, but unexpectedly, the next sentence was a direct denial, which almost made her angry to death. She turned her head away fiercely and huffed.
She pouted her bright cherry-colored mouth.
Emily's cute and funny behavior suddenly made Ye Minglu feel a little joy in her. For more than three hundred and sixty days a year, except for her parents who occasionally came back for a day or two, the house in Noda was usually completely silent.
Others would feel the same way.
"Don't be angry. Drink a glass of milk to relieve your anger. You can act like an adult and ignore the faults of others. Just pretend that what I said before fell on deaf ears."
Wearing an apron, Ye Minglu opened the refrigerator, skillfully took out the frozen ingredients and put them aside, ready to cook. Then he poured a glass of milk and placed it on the square glass table in front of the sofa that was engraved with a hundred birds.
"Hmph!!" Emily glanced at the milky white milk in the cup, remembered what she just said, and turned her head away to ignore it.
Ye Minglu shrugged helplessly. The little girl really had a temper. She didn't say anything more and continued to do what she had to do.
The kitchen and living room are almost connected, separated only by a counter.
Emily, who was still angry, glanced at the glass of sweet-smelling milk from time to time, while Ye Minglu was quietly making soup in the kitchen and cooking with his head down.
Unable to resist the temptation of milk, Emily reached out her little hands as white as lotus roots, picked up the cup filled with milk, smelled it, took a sip, and found that the taste was sweet and delicious.
So he drank it all in one gulp, and a white beard made of milk circles appeared around his small mouth.
"Ah~ it tastes good, um... is there any more... yes, milk, is there any more milk?" Emily raised her cup and shouted.
Because she didn't know Ye Minglu's name, Emily could only call him that. She was angry a minute ago, but she changed her attitude because of a glass of milk. She was so embarrassed that her childish and pretty face was still half-red.
Ye Ming Lu thought it was funny, he was really a foodie, but he had to correct him: "My name is Ye Ming Lu, Ye Ming Lu, Ye Ming Lu, Chirping Ming, Walking Lu, is not that."
"I know, so why bother?"
"This is not a fuss, it's the most basic common sense. Doesn't it mean you are ignoring me? Why are you talking to me again!" Ye Minglu asked jokingly.
"I'm not as stingy as you. Now, the milk is delicious. Is there any more?"
Amy Lu had already put aside her previous anger, and held up the cup in her hand that was full of milk. It was the first time she drank such sweetness, and she felt that she had already fallen in love with the taste.
"I can't drink any more."
Ye Minglu, who was tasting the soup, refused Emily in one bite.
"Why?"
"One cup is enough. Drinking too much is not good for your health."
"There are so many rules! If you drink some, why should you care about your health?" Emily shouted dissatisfied, suspecting that Ye Minglu was just a stingy person.
Ye Minglu prepared the side dishes, rice and soup stock and placed them on the dining table. The rich aroma of the soup stock overflowed and floated in every corner of the living room.
“It smells so good!”
Emily's little nose cutely smelled the tempting fragrance, and her stomach rumbled unconsciously.
"Are you hungry? I made enough for two people, let's eat together!"
"Then I'll try my best to eat a little! It's definitely not because I'm hungry."
Having always been despised by Ye Minglu, Emily was eager to win, and she was not willing to give in easily.
To be honest, this little lolita with a severe case of secondary school syndrome is quite cute. Although she is always silly and has to ask questions about daily furniture items, she is definitely an innocent little lolita.
At least Ye Minglu thinks so. He doesn't dislike her for being ignorant and has been fighting with her for so long. It's fun to obey her and make her happy.
"Yes, yes. Of course you are not hungry. I am afraid that the food will go bad and go to waste if you can't finish it." Ye Minglu sat down and started to use his chopsticks.
Seeing that Ye Minglu was already using his chopsticks, Emily couldn't resist the temptation of food and imitated him to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the food.
"It's delicious!" After tasting the food, Emily's eyes widened and her face turned pink and happy.
Ye Minglu smiled slightly, it was the first time for outsiders to taste the food he made, but it tasted very ordinary when he was eating it, especially when he was eating alone.
It makes people happy to eat, and Ye Minglu wants nothing more. At least it proves that his cooking skills developed by living alone are not bad. It would be a good idea to cook it for his parents in the future.
After the meal, Emily ate until her stomach could no longer hold anything, and touched her swollen belly with satisfaction.
"After living for more than a hundred years, this is the first time I have tasted such delicious food."
Ye Minglu was putting away the tableware when he heard her extremely exaggerated words and almost fell down. Even so, the bowl in his hand was still scratched. Fortunately, it fell on the table, otherwise it would have been shattered.
"You look at most fourteen years old, and you can't be more than fifteen years old. You haven't been an old goblin for more than a hundred years."
Emily scoffed and rolled her eyes, "You are only thirteen years old, you are an old elf! The height and size of elves have been fixed for more than a hundred years. As far as I know, I am considered a child-like existence among humans.
, is actually older than the oldest person among you humans. Logically speaking, you have to respectfully call me elder, and you have been older for several generations, so I reluctantly agreed to call you grandma."
"You are such a brat that I call you grandma. If others find out, I will be embarrassed to see them."
After finishing the cleaning after the meal, Ye Minglu loosened his shoulder joints, sat on the single sofa, and looked at the time on the wall clock. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. He was thinking about going to school tomorrow, and something special happened today.
The situation will be very troublesome if not handled properly.
Looking at the energetic Emily, Ye Minglu felt a headache. He still didn't know where she lived. If he had family members, he would definitely be very anxious at this time. If his daughter disappeared, he might call the police. Wouldn't he?
Considered a human trafficker?
"Well... Emily, I have to go to school tomorrow, so you'd better go home! Isn't that enough after playing for one day?"
Ye Minglu calmly faced Emily who was bouncing around in the living room. No matter how much she could bring him joy, she was still a girl with middle school disease. Elves were only illusory existences, so Emily should have parents.
The family cannot keep her forever.
"Didn't I say before, Emily's home is in the land of elves and she has no home in the human world."
Despite Ye Minglu's persuasive words, Emily always insisted on her own opinion, and both of them became troubled.
Although there is the only way to make him believe in the fact of elves, that method is extremely precious and cautious. When Emily thought of this, her pretty face with a slightly immature look was filled with red clouds, and even her fair neck turned red.
.
"Why is your face red again? Are you sick?"
"No, it's nothing..." Emily turned her head away, not daring to look at Ye Minglu.
Seeing that Emily looked a little strange, Ye Minglu thought she was sick. In fact, he really hoped to have a family member to accompany him like this. It was true that Modi was a best friend, but he also had a family after all, so Ye Minglu couldn't do this.
What one wishes.
"What are your plans for tomorrow? If I go to school, I won't be back until tonight."
"I came to the human world to find suitable human contractors, so I plan to go outside to find powerful people." Emily sat quietly on the sofa and said calmly.
"You look no different from humans. It's not that I don't want to believe in elves, but there is no way to prove their existence. A powerful person? I think just picking up someone on the street is stronger than you think."
"Elves that are not in the Kingdom of Elves cannot maintain their original state, they don't even have wings, and they can't use magic. Every year, the Elf King sends many elves into the human world with only one purpose - to make contracts with powerful humans.
Find the demon hunters hidden in human society and eliminate them!"
Emily spoke eloquently and seriously. If Ye Minglu were a child, he would definitely believe what she said and become a fan who worships elves.
"I just entered the human world today, but I happened to be discovered by the demon hunters. The elves are their natural enemies, so when there was no contract with humans, I killed the elves in the early stages. Those people today are the demon hunters."
After listening to Emily's unimaginable explanation, Ye Minglu couldn't even understand. Those agile men in black are demon hunters?
"They are just simple human traffickers. Besides, the name of the demon hunter is like a monster. They are obviously human. You just have to learn from it and don't think about it all day long and describe things to the point of being unimaginable. This is
The disease needs to be cured."
"I won't tell you anymore. You're not powerful anyway, and you're not the one to make a contract with. It's just a waste of time to reveal so many things about elves to you, huh." Ye Minglu's reaction is always indifferent, Amy
Li couldn't help but feel so angry that she crossed her arms and snorted.
"Who wants to become a chuunibyou? You have a good rest tonight. It doesn't matter what you do tomorrow. It's best not to meet those bad people again."
"I will leave and look for someone strong! I will never have anything to do with you again." Emily gritted her teeth and shouted at Ye Minglu in anger.
"Then I wish you good luck! I'm going to get the bath water. I'm tired today too."
Ye Minglu ignored her and would naturally return to normal when he grew up. He felt that his current behavior was really ridiculous.
