Demon's Self-cultivation

Under the comfort of "old father" Xu Zhengjie, Xiaoxiaomo found his goal of being a demon again, and naturally jumped up and down again.Everyone was relieved to find that he had regained his spirits, especially the "culprits" Mandel and Zhang Jie. After seeing Qiao Qiao's happy smile as always, they felt that the sky had cleared up a lot.

Now that he knew that even if he was not a soldier, he could still go to the battlefield, Qiao Qiao felt relieved, and began to carefully choose the career he would pursue in the future - the one with special power, who can stir up wind and rain at will, and start a war !

...Since I was five years old, I have been worrying about my future career choice, and Xiaomo is indeed hard enough.

Since I am still not familiar with this world, Xiaoxiaomo asked many people for their opinions on the choice of career, such as his host, his "old father", and his teacher Zhang Chongming.

All the people he asked had the same indescribable expressions, but they still gave their answers very seriously, and didn't just perfunctory because Qiao Qiao was too young.However, despite this, the content of the answer Jojo finally got was still completely different.

Zhang Chongming suggested that Xiaoxiaomo become a top technician, climb and challenge the highest peak of technology.Today, the most accomplished technicians are known throughout mankind, and even the heads of alliances and empires need to be respectful in front of them, and the slightest disturbance can cause shocks in all mankind.

As for Mandel, after thinking about it, he gave the answer of a politician.Technicians are technicians after all, and most of them spend their time in the laboratory for the sake of scientific research results, and keep their ears to the outside world.However, those who can really stir up the situation and affect the social structure of mankind are those top officials who occupy high positions and lead the direction of the country.

And Xu Zhengjie...Xu Zhengjie's simple, straightforward and uncontested personality made it difficult for him to give a satisfactory answer to the little devil. In the eyes of this silly father, as long as his "son" is happy, that is the best.

One is a technician who is devoted to scientific research and has great wisdom, and the other is a politician who is good at dancing and demagoguery. The little devil feels very good about himself and feels that he is suitable for either one, and he is quite unable to choose for a while.

But anyway, he is still young, and he still has a long time to decide his future path. What he needs to do now is to enrich himself faster and more, and master the rules of this world.

As the saying goes, "more skills do not overwhelm you", the more you know, the easier and wider your future choices will be.

——The little devil who has plunged headlong into the "point of no return" of becoming a top student told himself so, and then silently added a few more books such as "Human Psychology", Readers such as "Thick Black Studies", "Great Leaders and National Politics".

Since Mandel has already decided to take the assessment of the high school affiliated to the Central Military Academy after graduating from compulsory education, Qiaoqiao is too lazy to continue skipping grades to catch up with him. Del went to school in the same classroom.

Read "extracurricular books" during class; find Mandel to exercise after class; return to the dormitory after exercise, contact Zhang Chongming, who volunteered to be his tutor, to report on his learning results of the day and ask him to answer questions for him.Every day of Qiaoqiao is very fulfilling - even if he never attends lectures, does not do homework, and does not participate in class activities.

Because of this uniqueness, Qiao Qiao's popularity in the class is not very good, and everyone "stays at a respectful distance" from him.The only one I am familiar with is Zhang Jie, and then I reluctantly add a few roommates.

Little Demon doesn't care about this at all, he doesn't have any common language with those stupid and useless human cubs. Respect, and get as far away from yourself as possible.

As for Zhang Jie, he is also very satisfied with this situation. Apart from restraining his "brothers" to meet Qiao Qiao's needs as much as possible, he has no intention of bringing them together to play together. He wished that Qiao Qiao was his own and only his own.

——Having a Mandel who occupies a more important position in Jojo's heart is already bad enough. The little wolf dog who dares not provoke Mandel but is still very possessive is very resistant, and there are other people to divide the "master" towards him focus on.

And after learning about Qiao Qiao's situation in school from the teacher, Xu Zhengjie was quite annoyed by the "lonely" Qiao Qiao - obviously this little guy looks so lively and cute, why doesn't he like to play with other peers? ?

Until now, the worried old father realized belatedly that his little angel really has very few friends.In the orphanage, apart from Mandel and Zhang Jie, there seems to be no third child who gets closer to Qiao Qiao, and even rarely chats with him.

After realizing that Qiao Qiao adapted well to such an "isolated" situation, and even enjoyed it, Xu Zhengjie asked his old friend Chen Chuan specifically, and only then dispelled his idea of ​​trying to make Qiao Qiao make more friends under the other party's quotations. .

According to Chen Chuan, it is difficult for children who are too smart to have friends of the same age when they were young. After all, their thinking is too mature and advanced, and ordinary children cannot keep up with their thinking.And Qiao Qiao is lucky enough to have two good friends, Mandel and Zhang Jie.

——Of course, while convincing his old friend, Chen Chuan recommended the youth class of the scientific research academy, saying that the children there might be able to share some common language with Qiao Qiao.Unfortunately, he was still rejected by Xu Zhengjie who respected Qiao Qiao's wishes.

In short, without Xu Zhengjie's interference, Qiao Qiao spent more than two years in school smoothly.The most important change after two years is that the 16-year-old Mandel is about to graduate from compulsory education school.

After more than two years of growth, Mandel's figure has become more and more tall and slender, with unprotrusive but extremely explosive muscles attached to his body, making his every move appear extraordinarily calm and powerful.The beautiful face gradually faded away, revealing a rigid outline, which became more dazzling. Coupled with the noble and elegant temperament cultivated since childhood, Mandel became the dream lover of all the young girls in the school. ——Of course, there are many boys among them——I don’t know how many explicit or implicit confessions they received when they were approaching graduation.

With a cold expression, he rejected the pink confession letter in a girl's hand, and Mandel walked away carelessly.Just a few steps away, he noticed a small thing peeping, and a smile flashed across his indifferent dark gray eyes.

Turning his head, his silver hair shone brightly in the sun, and Mandel raised his eyebrows slightly: "What are you hiding?"

Seeing the girl running away shyly, Qiao Qiao turned around from behind the bushes, and quickly threw herself into the arms of her increasingly outstanding host.

Rubbing on Mandel's tactile abdominal muscles, which had suddenly grown a lot after entering puberty, sniffing the smell he was very familiar with, he groaned: "Every time I come to look for you, I see you are being tortured. Confession!"

Mandel smiled, lowered his head and patted Jojo's little head: "Why, do you want to be confessed too?"

Qiao Qiao didn't answer, but continued to complain: "This morning, Ajie was also confessed by the girl in the next class..."

To be honest, Qiao Qiao has no interest in falling in love with human women. After all, love is such a sweet and sour thing, which is not delicious at all in the eyes of the demon.

However, "I don't want to fall in love with humans" and "I haven't been confessed by humans" are two completely different concepts. The former is Jojo's subjective wish, while the latter shows that the charm of the little devil seems not enough.

--joke!Is the noble and great Lord Heart Demon so unattractive in the eyes of human beings? !Can't even compare to that idiot Zhang Jie with a brain full of muscles?This is simply... unacceptable to the devil!Xiaomo felt that he had been dealt a huge blow.

"After all, you are still too young." Hearing Jojo's complaint, Mandel couldn't help laughing, "Girls treat you like a little brother, so naturally they won't confess to you."

——As for the boys, Mandel had vaguely heard that there was once a boy who "conspired against Qiao Qiao" and was beaten by Zhang Jie, who had been promoted to a school bully, so he didn't dare to come to school for nearly a week.And since then, no boy has dared to make any "wrong thoughts" towards Jojo.

Although he looked down on Zhang Jie's rude way of solving problems without moving his fists, Mandel had to admit that he did a good job this time.If it wasn't for Zhang Jie's quick hands and the other party's quick "repentance", Mandel would probably not be able to help but do something bad to this "pedophile pervert".

Unaware that he had been coveted, Little Demon would not admit that he was not attractive enough, so he quickly accepted Mandel's statement, blaming his age for everything.

Satisfied, Jojo came out of Mandel's arms and tilted his head: "I'm going to graduate soon, has brother Mandel signed up for the high school attached to the Central Military Academy?"

"Well, I have already passed the cultural test for the entrance qualification of the affiliated high school online, and I am going to go to the Central Star to take the physical examination in two weeks." Mandel nodded.

Qiao Qiao, who had been mentally prepared for this, had a happy expression: "Two weeks later? It's summer vacation at that time, and I want to go with my brother! Take the exam with my brother! Cheer for my brother!"

"No need." Mandel's heart warmed, and he smiled lightly, "I can take care of myself, and I don't need you to accompany me."

Being flatly rejected by his own host, Qiao Qiao knew that this reason would not be accepted by the other party.He rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue in embarrassment: "Okay, okay, to be honest, there is only one reason for wanting to accompany my brother-well, it is the most important reason. But there is another reason, that is, wanting to I’m going to play on the central star~” After a pause, he was not willing to let go of this opportunity to get good impressions easily, and the little devil added a sentence without giving up, “Uncle Xu took me to the central star for a physical examination before, because he was worried about Mandel. Brother, I came back in a hurry after the physical examination, and I didn’t take a good tour of the central star. This time I will go with my brother, I want to have a good time!”

Hearing what Qiao Qiao said, Mandel was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but embraced the little guy in front of him and rubbed his head.

Every time, Qiao Qiao’s casual (?) words can easily touch the softest feelings in Mandel’s heart. After all, after his family’s death, this little thing is probably the only one who still misses him so much and remembers it all the time. him.

How deep and pure is it to make a child who is naturally curious and playful give up those attractive tourist attractions and rush back to his hometown where he has nothing?Whenever Jojo made such touching actions and uttered such sweet words, Mandel could not resist the approach of the other party at all.

It's like seeing a cute child holding his warm and clean heart in front of him, no one can refuse it, he can only take it carefully, and then treasure it in the safest place.

What's more, Qiao Qiao is not the kind of "central air conditioner" that is so warm to everyone.After these years of getting to know each other, Mandel knows that the little guy like Qiao Qiao is actually a little cold and arrogant by nature, and only those who really fall into his eyes can get his true feelings, while for others, he is just passing on face Forget it, never get distracted.

Except for Xu Zhengjie, who has not yet become Qiao Qiao's real guardian, but is actually no different from his adoptive father, Mandel has never seen anyone who can get Qiao Qiao's coquettishness and intimacy like him, and even spend more time with Qiao Qiao There is no such thing as Zhang Jie—even Xu Zhengjie's status in Qiao Qiao's mind is slightly inferior to his own.

Mandel couldn't resist such precious feelings alone, and he didn't want to resist.Although he didn't quite know why he was so favored by Jojo, and he was so attached to him that he didn't care about him and refused to leave - he stuck with him for several years.

"...Okay, then let's go to the central star together. After the exam, I will play with you." Mandel restrained the tenderness flooding in his heart, and promised softly with a smile in his eyes.

Qiao Qiao returned him a big smile and cheered happily.

——He seems to have heard the voice of his host's favorability rising again, it's really awesome~

However, although Qiao Qiao and Mandel agreed to go to the central star together, Xu Zhengjie, who has already been completely used to the role of "father", can't rest assured that the two underage children will travel alone.

It would be fine if there was only one Mandel. Xu Zhengjie was not familiar with Mandel, so he couldn’t comment on his choice, and somehow believed that this 16-year-old boy who was more mature than many adults could take good care of himself— —but with Jojo added, the situation is quite different.

Very resolutely, Xu Zhengjie added himself to the two children's travel plans that Xu Zhengjie vetoed with one vote.And Zhang Jie, the little wolf dog who also got the news, was also furious and insisted that he would also go with him - and the explanation he gave was very reasonable: since he will also participate in the assessment of the High School Affiliated to the Central Military Academy in the future, he should go there in advance to check the situation It can be regarded as reasonable, and to plan for a rainy day.

Although this "advance" was really "advance" for too long, Xu Zhengjie, who was in charge of issuing the tickets, still accepted this reason, not to mention that he felt that his little angel would have more fun if he had another little partner traveling with him.

In fact, the little devil who wants to have a "two-person world" with his own host: "…………………"

So, on the day of departure, the original two-person trip turned into a four-person tour group.

Sitting on the seat of the Interstellar Express train, listening to Xu Zhengjie, Qiao Qiao, and Zhang Jie discussing where to go after the exam, Mandel couldn't help but fell into deep thinking and shallow confusion.

In his plan, he left the remote and inconspicuous star C13, went to the central star where the capital of the China Alliance is located, and successfully entered the high school affiliated to the Central Military Academy. Goal first step.

The road of revenge should have been cold and lonely.Mandel always thought that on the way to the central star, he would constantly recall his past experiences, taste the taste of hatred, and then strengthen his beliefs—but in fact, there were more warmth and companionship by his side, and more The laughter and laughter seemed like a carefree spring outing for a child, which made him completely unable to immerse himself in those sad and painful emotions.

——And all of this is thanks to Qiao Qiao.

Mandel didn't know whether such a change that was completely inconsistent with his plan was good or bad, but since he couldn't refuse, he could only... take one step at a time.
