Apprentice Succubus Hunting Notes

midnight.

Josh squinted and looked at the ceiling.

He had been lying in bed with his eyes wide open for 3 hours.

Han Tian's sleeping spell seems to have failed?

He attributed the insomnia tonight to the fact that he was too devoted to making cakes during the day, so what he was thinking about was how to do this and that, ah, how to make more delicious cakes.

As for the indirect kiss before going to bed, it has nothing to do with my insomnia!

He turned his head, looked at the little white whale beside the pillow, and stared blankly at the smiling lips.

Before, I only thought that this little white whale had a pure smile on his face and no distractions, but today is it because of the angle?Why is it smiling so... There is no deep meaning.

He simply stretched out his hand, hugged the little white whale, raised his hands in front of him, and whispered: "Do you want to kiss?"

The little white whale, like its owner, didn't speak, just looked at Josh with a smile.

Josh stared at it for a while, feeling discouraged.

He put the little white whale back to the pillow, lifted the quilt and sat up, and decided to go to the kitchen to have a look.

Well, I can't sleep anyway, why don't I get up and bake bread?Kneading the dough starts at this point, so when the cold weather gets up, wouldn't it be just the right time to eat the bread I made?

As soon as the thought of "I can also prepare breakfast for Han Tian" appeared, Josh immediately cheered up.

In order not to wake up Han Tian, ​​he stepped on the floor lightly with bare feet, and quietly opened the bedroom door.

Huh?

In the study room next to the master bedroom, a ray of yellow light leaked through the crack of the door.

Did Han Tian not sleep?

Thinking of this, Josh couldn't help but stop at the door of the study.

So what is Han Tian doing in there?

Josh felt himself, he just stopped at the door for a second.However, a second later, the door of the study opened.

Han Tian, ​​who was wearing gray house clothes, frowned and looked at him: "Why don't you sleep well and stand at my door all the time?"

Josh looked at him blankly: "I, I can't sleep. I want to make... make bread."

Han Tian pressed his temple with one hand, and said helplessly, "Is there flour in the study?"

Josh shook his head in a daze: "There is no flour. There are books."

And you.

Han Tian sighed: "You want to bake bread with books?"

Josh blinked, and suddenly became fluent: "That's right! I just want to bake bread with a book! I want to find a book that can improve my baking skills!"

In the soft dark yellow light, Han Tian stared at him, remained silent for several seconds, and finally opened the door, motioning for Josh to come in.

"Why are you barefoot again?"

As soon as Josh stood still in front of the bookshelf, he heard Han Tian's hoarse voice.

Subconsciously, he changed to standing on one foot, stepped on the instep of the other with one foot, and whispered, "I'm afraid I'll wake you up."

"Go sit on the sofa." Han Tian said.

Josh pointed to the bookshelf: "But, I haven't started looking for books yet..."

"Will you go there by yourself, or let me carry you there?" Han Tian's voice became even lower.

Josh immediately jumped onto the sofa in a few steps, and actively crossed his legs.

Then, Han Tian walked over to a PAD from the desk, walked over with big strides, sat down cross-legged as well, and took off the blanket thrown aside, and put it on the two of them.

"Uh...I, I'm here to look for books..." Feeling the body temperature of the person beside him, Josh was so nervous that he curled up his toes, and moved his body a little to the other side.

However, Han Tian wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and one foot directly pressed down on his instep.

"Do you really think there will be a book 'How to Bake Bread' in my study?" Han Tian asked softly, exhaling into his ear if there was nothing there.

Josh only felt that the part stuck to the cold sky was hotter than the magma in the depths of the Demon Realm.As for his poor earlobe, it was even more so red.

His whole brain has been short-circuited, and he doesn't know whether to answer "yes" or "no"; or, he actually answered everything the same?

When Josh was in a panic, Han Tian put the PAD flat on his knees, and his voice returned to the clearness of the day: "The paper books are definitely gone. You can find e-books."

After finishing speaking, the man began to look for e-books with the keywords of "baking", "baking bread" and "homemade bread" seriously.

After finding a book that looked like that, he even enlarged the pictures one by one and looked at them carefully, and finally gave a comment: "This kind of bread made in the shape of a bear's head is very simple to make. It should also be very popular with children, do you want to try this?"

Listening to Han Tian's serious comments, Josh thought dully: "Huh? Did I really come to learn how to make bread? No, I did come to learn how to make bread!"

Seeing the people around him start to be dazed again, Han Tian smiled, bent his index finger into a hook, and scratched the tip of Josh's nose twice: "What? I started to lose my mind again, why don't you pay attention to the class?"

Josh shook his head, trying to calm down, and said nonchalantly, "I remember it all! I'll try it now"

After speaking, he tried to jump off the sofa.

But Han Tian wrapped his arms around him and did not let go.

"Don't worry." Han Tian said, and at the same time threw the PAD on his knees aside, wrapped his free hand around Josh's neck, and rubbed his fingers back and forth on the other side of his cheek.

"You...you..." Josh felt that he was almost out of breath.

With his brain almost muddled, he heard himself squeeze out a meaningless sentence: "Do you think I'm a little shark?"

Han Tian smiled lowly, leaned into his ear and said, "Didn't you ask me yesterday, what kind of toy did I have when I was young, was it so important?"

"Well..." Josh replied in a daze.

"That's an egg." Han Tian said.

"Eggs?!" Josh was a little surprised, but soon he was relieved: Don't human beings still have holiday eggs and toy twisted eggs?So when I was young, it was normal to use an egg as a toy.

"Well. That egg is very cute, very cute. As long as I put him next to him, he will roll over and stick to me." Han Tian's voice was like smoke, and Josh began to feel that this Everything in the study room has been out of this world and has become psychedelic.

"I like that egg so much. At night, I put it next to my ear and listen to the occasional sound inside. I always think, who will come out of this egg?" Han Tian His head was pressed against Josh's ear, and their soft hair rubbed together.

Josh tried hard to think about that scene, and then said, "Could it be a chick?"

Han Tian laughed out loud.

"Then... duckling? Little snake? Little crocodile?" Josh asked awkwardly, while trying to think about everything that could hatch from an egg in the human world.

However, Han Tian just shook his head with a smile, and his short hair rubbed against Josh's face, making his face itchy as much as his heart.

Not a chicken, not a duckling, a snake, a turtle, what else could it be?A little devil can't be drilled out.

Josh thought sullenly, and yawned at the same time.

Han Tian touched his face with warm hands, and asked softly: "Sleepy?"

Josh unconsciously moved to Han Tian's side, pressed himself closer, yawned again, and replied somewhat confusedly: "...um."

"Then you can sleep for a while." Han Tian touched his forehead with the tip of his nose.

"Well... what about you..." Josh asked.

What did I get up for?Yes, I want to make breakfast for Han Tian...

"I'll stay here with you," Han Tian said, "and then, when you fall asleep, I'll make you bear-shaped bread, okay?"

Josh didn’t hear the second half of the sentence.He had fallen asleep under the blanket.

The next morning, Josh stared at the bear bread on the plate with a dazed expression on his face.

So what the hell was I doing in the middle of the night last night?

"If you're looking for a book on baking," Han Tian said while drinking coffee, "we can go to the library. I happen to have the book I'm looking for."

"Huh?" Josh bit the bear's ear and asked curiously, "Do you have any books you're looking for too? Medical ones?"

If he remembered correctly, he caught a glimpse of the rows of books on Han Tian's bookshelf last night, and the spines of the books were full of incomprehensible professional vocabulary.

How on earth did I think that I could find a book like "Bread Baking Skills" from it?

Han Tian shook his head: "No, I want to find some ancient books about myths and legends."

"Huh?" Josh's eyes widened a little: "About myths and legends? Like?"

If Han Tian wanted to learn about the legend about "devil", wouldn't he be able to teach him a lesson?

Han Tian said: "For example, the origin of the fallen angels, the purpose of the fallen angels' actions."

Hearing the word "angel", Josh shuddered involuntarily, and even his voice changed: "Angel, angel or something, I have never understood it."

"Oh?" Han Tian seemed very interested in this topic.He put down his coffee cup, held his chin, and smiled in the morning light: "What do you think an angel looks like?"

"What kind?" Josh frowned, trying to restrain himself not to say "if you find an angel, how far you can escape, how fast you can run" taught by the Demon Academy, dryly Said: "Well...has beautiful white wings and can fly."

Han Tian was silent for two seconds, and asked: "It's over?"

Josh nodded sharply, and at the same time picked up the milk glass to hide his embarrassment.

He couldn't make it up.

Han Tian sighed: "Are you sure you said 'angel', not 'pigeon'?"

"Pfft!" A cooing pigeon appeared in Josh's mind, and he couldn't hold it back for a while, choking on the milk.

"Hey, okay," Han Tian stood up with a wry smile, gave Josh a straight back, and said, "Don't make it up, let's go after changing clothes."

The municipal library in Haicheng was rebuilt from a municipal building many years ago. The facade is made of clear water red brick walls, with old-fashioned arched glass windows. The whole building looks solemn and peaceful.

Although the library has only two floors, it occupies a very wide area. The first floor is the public reading area, thematic lending area and rest area, and the second floor is the collection borrowing area, as well as various rare book libraries.

After entering through the arch made of red bricks, there is a grand wooden escalator facing you.Han Tian stepped on the escalator, hesitated a little, and asked, "Are you going to the rare book library with me, or are you looking for baking books by yourself?"

Josh has no interest in ancient books and rare books, and even avoids "Legends of Fallen Angels".Without hesitation, he chose to stay on the first floor.

"Then don't run around, don't leave the library." Han Tian warned again, and went to the second floor along the escalator.

Josh nodded and strolled towards the public reading area.

The public reading area is remodeled from the former city hall. It has an open space. Under the dome more than ten meters high, there are multi-layer lights in a circular circle. On both sides are towering dark bookshelves. The oak table is convenient for people to read at ease.

"Well, there are quite a few people. They seem to be as hardworking as the students of the Demon Academy." Josh glanced at the people reading the book and sighed in his heart.

Huh?

He glanced at these people again, and found that these people were not reading books, they were all lying on the table, soundly asleep.

Josh looked around and was surprised to find that the only person in the hall who was not asleep except himself was probably the librarian in the corner.

Not quite right?

Josh walked towards the corner.

Unexpectedly, after he took a few steps, the librarian jumped up from the sofa in the corner, and jumped towards him with a smile: "Josh! I met you again!"

Looking at the little curly hair in front of him, Josh blinked, also surprised and delighted: "Su Rui? You came to the library?"

When they were in medical school last time, the two of them had only exchanged a few words, and Su Rui ran away inexplicably. She didn't expect to meet again here.

Su Rui, who was about to rush up to hug him with a smile, trotted two steps, stopped two meters away from Josh, stared at Josh's neck, and frowned: "What is hanging around your neck?? "

"This?" Josh took out the thin silver chain and explained: "The star pendant! My friend... No, the target of my graduation project gave it to me."

Su Rui stared at the flickering pendant, his expression changed.

He wanted to say something, but he remembered the warning Seraphim had given him when he was in medical school—not to mention it to anyone.

At that time, he didn't want to understand what this sentence meant. To whom and what could he mention it?

But now, he more or less guessed something.

He had the courage to ask tentatively, "Josh, who is the target of your graduation project?"

Josh looked around and whispered, "You should have seen it too, right? It was the professor who gave the lecture when I was in medical school last time."

Su Rui took a breath, took two steps back, and began to gesticulate with his hands: "He is your target? What are you going to do to him? No, what did he do to you?! No, no, I care more , Did he come to the library today too?!"

Seeing Su Rui's appearance, Josh frowned: "What's wrong with you? You ran away like you were running for your life last time, why is this reaction now?"

Su Rui's mouth opened and closed, closed and opened again.

Between "friendship of the same family" and "life-saving", Su Rui, the sleeper, hesitated for 0.01 second and chose the latter.

He smiled and said, "Oh, I'm fine. I just happen to be working in the library. There's nothing else. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'm leaving first!"

After speaking, the man turned around and was about to run away.

However, before Su Rui took a few steps, he was frozen by a force of coercion—Han Tian, ​​who had a thick ancient book under his arm, walked out step by step from the shadow opposite him.

Author has something to say: Josh: I want to...make bread!

Han Tian: Okay, I know you want to do it.
