Anyway, I'm just a demon who loves to eat fish

8. Memories

"Looking back now... I was quite fragile at that time." Yu Xi smiled bitterly. "If Lu'er wasn't there, I wouldn't be here now."

"Don't give me all the credit. You figured it out yourself." The little devil gave the person next to the bed a blank look. Of course, it was across the small dark room, and no one could see in it.

What Yu Xi was most worried about back then was actually the issue of grades. His teachers and classmates looked down upon him, and he was reluctant to seek help.

Yu Xi knew that he was not stupid and belonged to a fairly intelligent category. But because of falling behind too much, it's quite challenging to catch up with only self-study and exploration.

"I'll help you."

"You?" Looking at the person in front of him who was eating potato chips with a heartless look, Yu Xi inevitably began to doubt.

"Yeah, I'm not very busy anyway. It's not difficult to set up a small stove for you." Standing up, Lu patted the dust on his body.

"I'm going to sneak out first. I have to go over the wall and go out to buy something. I'm here most of the time. If you don't want to skip class, I'll wait for you here for half an hour after school." Hui Lu was ready to get moving.

"By the way, compared to black hair, I think your silver hair looks much better. You don't need to worry about those people... The hair doesn't grow on them, does it?"

Leaving such a sentence, Hui Lu quickly slipped away, and the bell rang at this moment. Yu Xi was stunned on the rooftop, not knowing what to think...

After returning to the classroom, Yu Xi inquired about Hui Lu's deeds, but the answer he got made him frown.

The typical problem student has grades at the bottom of the class. Basically, he skips every class, and no one can find him at all. Although his personality is quite lively, he always looks like a mysterious person.

Many vicious incidents in the school seem to be related to him, but there is no evidence to directly name him. Basically, because of this series of problems, no one wants to approach him.

What can this guy do for him? Yu Xi couldn't help but begin to doubt the other party. All day long, Yu Xi was thinking about Hui Lu. He didn't listen to the class at all and ended up being reprimanded again.

After school, thinking that he had no other way to go, with the attitude of a dead horse being a living horse doctor, Yu Xi came to the rooftop of the teaching building...

"Yo, come here." Hui Lu, holding a pile of snacks, greeted him after seeing the person at the entrance of the stairs.

"Can you really help me? I went to inquire about you today, and the answer I got..." Putting down his schoolbag and asking in a tentative tone, Yu Xi was very uncertain.

"They also said that your silver hair was dyed, didn't they?" Not taking the other party's suspicions seriously, Hui Lu tore open a pack of spicy sticks and threw it into his mouth.

"However, skipping classes is true." Chewing hot sticks in his mouth, he said vaguely. "Anyway, just tell me where you can't keep up and leave the rest to me."

He took out the textbook and exercise set half-believingly, and Yu Xi roughly explained his situation to the unreliable person in front of him...

"Wow, you've fallen a bit too much. It's a headache." According to the other party's instructions and a few simple tests, Hui Lu finally knew why the other party couldn't keep up.

Originally, Lu thought that the person in front of him looked very clever and didn't seem like he couldn't keep up. Theoretically, even if he falls behind, he can keep up with a little supplement. But with so many basic things left behind, it's no wonder that he can't keep up...

"Anyway, I'll help you make up the basics first..." To Yu Xi's surprise, Hui Lu's counseling was quite professional, and the explanation was straightforward and easy to understand.

"You're pretty smart. Are you not a quick learner?" In less than two hours, Yu Xi had basically mastered all the knowledge points in the two units, including the advanced ones.

"You... don't pretend to have poor grades, right?" Looking at the great god in front of him with horrified eyes, Yu Xi felt that if this person went to lecture, the teacher would lose his job...

"Yeah, remember to keep it a secret." Lu stuffed another handful of cookies into his mouth and told him.

"Why?"

"Well, you don't understand. I just want to be free... I'm here every day after school. If you have any questions, just come and ask. Anyways, cya! Bye!"

It's getting late. Before Yu Xi could react, Hui Lu had already picked up his schoolbag and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"What a weirdo..." While packing up the books, he complained, but a smile appeared on his face...

After school every day, Yu Xi would go to the rooftop to accept the small stove that Hui Lu opened for him. As the two became familiar with each other, Yu Xi would often come to play with him regularly.

Such days lasted for more than a year, and Yu Xi's grades improved by leaps and bounds, and he became one of the top students in the school.

"Why are you fooling around with that Hui Lu!" Yu Xi's mother was furious. She couldn't accept the top student, Yu Xi, to contact such a problem student.

"Mom, I..." Yu Xi was about to say something but was interrupted mercilessly.

"I don't care what you think. Someone has seen you messing around on the rooftop after school. Do you know who he is? Is it the one you should contact?"

Obviously, you don't know who he is, and no one knows him better than me... Yu Xi growled in his heart, but he didn't dare say anything. He could only bow his head and accept his mother's scolding.

"Your grades have finally gone up. I'm delighted. So you can't stay with someone like him, understand? Go home immediately after school and don't have any contact with him."

The next day after school, Yu Xi sighed and came to the rooftop in a depressed mood. Looking around, he didn't see that familiar figure...

"It seems that he was also warned..." Just as he was about to turn to leave, he found a figure sitting on the edge of the rooftop.

"That... May I ask what's on your mind?" Thinking that someone was going to commit suicide, Yu Xi hurriedly stepped forward and found that the other party was a girl he had never met before.

A girl of primary school size, wearing a school uniform. Her long silver hair was tied into a ponytail and draped behind her. The girl sat on the rooftop edge and looked into the distance. Under the setting sun, she was like an elf in a fairy tale. For a time, Yu Xi was fascinated by her beauty.

"Huh? Looking for Hui Lu?" Turning to see Yu Xi, the girl was stunned for a moment and then showed a lovely smile.

"Ah yes, do you know where he went?" Remembering his purpose of coming here, Yu Xi quickly regained his senses.

"Just tell me, and I can tell you..."

"That's troublesome. It's like this..." After all, Yu Xi didn't know how to speak about this thing, and it was better to tell her.

After briefly explaining the situation and telling the other party that he could not come back after school in the future, Yu Xi blushed and ran away.

"What are you afraid of? It's not that I don't understand..." Seeing the other party leave, the girl chuckled, but her tone seemed a little lonely. She then spread her wings and tail.

"Besides, as I am now, it's better we do have less contact..."

With her hands back, the girl jumped down. Flying in the sunset, the figure of the girl gradually disappeared into the distance...
