Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug - Chapter 104

Song Miaomiao encouraged, “Brother, do you want to be with her? I will help you chase her.”

The elder brother’s eyes were still fixed on the Crown Princess. “How to pursue her?”

“From her school uniform, it’s clear she attends the same high school as the person I’m looking for,” Song Miaomiao observed, a smirk playing on her lips. “Brother, would you be interested in coming to the human world to study in a high school?”

“Is it okay?” Her brothers asked.

“Why not? Does the General Administration of Demon Management not allow demons to study in the human world?”

The elder brother shook his head, saying, “That’s not true. You can go to the human world to study and integrate into the human world.”

Song Miaomiao said, “Brother, okay, now the first question is, we have to get the identity of transfer students first. Can the General Administration of Demon Management do it?”

The elder brother said, “Of course, the General Administration of Demon Management can invade human systems and help us forge our identities. Demons in the past also did this. It’s just…”

“Just what?”

The elder brother said, “It’s just that we are not allowed to use magic in the human world.”

That wasn’t a big problem for Song Miaomiao. She had just become a demon and had never practiced any magic. It didn’t matter whether she could use it or not.

The elder brother added, “But for the master, I am willing.”

Song Miaomiao said, “By the way, Brother, was it her who picked you up from the mountains and named you Shanmao and raised you with a cat, making you learn the cat language and eating mice?”

The elder brother said, “Yes, I lived with her in the mountains. Later, as I grew older, she also realized that I was not a lynx. Only then did she realize that I was actually a tiger, but it didn’t matter. Later, when we encountered war, she was injured by a stray arrow. I accidentally met Wangcai and trained with him to become a demon. For hundreds of years, I have been looking for her reincarnation. I didn’t expect that today we would meet like this. It seems that today is really a good day for me that I got to meet you and meet her again.”

……

After such a conversation, Song Miaomiao turned around and saw that Han Chuan had disappeared. She went to the place where Han Chuan had just stayed and bought a set of study books, and also bought a set for her brother who was about to become a transfer student. After all, school was about to start, and it happened to be a common topic for communication with Han Chuan. It seemed that she wouldn’t be able to meet Han Chuan face to face that day, but she was satisfied that she could take a look at him from a distance. Now they had more important things to do.

After returning to the Demon Village, her brother went to the Demon Management Bureau to apply to study in the human world as transfer students. He also applied for a fake human ID card for Song Miaomiao and himself.

Song Miaomiao was very happy. In the past few hours, she even had a new ID card. She took the ID card and took a closer look. She saw her standard photo with the word “Tiger” in big letters next to it. Her jaw almost dropped, and she quickly took a look at her brother’s name: Shanmao.

Song Miaomiao said helplessly, “Brother, those names aren’t typical for humans.”

The elder brother asked, “What’s wrong with them?”

Song Miaomiao replied, “They’ll draw too much attention. People will point and talk about us before we even step into the school. It’s not ideal.”

The elder brother said, “But I really like the name my master gave me.”

Song Miaomiao suggested, “Let’s use Shanmao as a nickname instead. It’s cuter and less conspicuous.”

The elder brother agreed. “Okay, sister, please give us new human names.”

Song Miaomiao proposed, “I’ll be Song Miaomiao, and you can be Song Chaowang. How does that sound?”

After a moment of thought, the elder brother agreed. “That works. I’ll go to the Demon Management Bureau to update our names and delete the old records.”

Song Miaomiao felt relieved. With their new names, they wouldn’t stand out as much, and she wouldn’t have to bear the burden of being named Tiger. Plus, her original name felt more personal and affectionate.

——————

The next day, as the sun rose, Song Miaomiao and her brother arrived at the gate of Han Chuan’s high school wearing brand-new school uniforms. That was their new school.

The efficiency of the General Administration of Demon Management was remarkable; they probably used magic. In such a short time, they received a complete set of school information and uniforms, and even had the school network system set up.

Song Miaomiao carried her schoolbag, smiling as she looked at the school name in gold on the high school gate. She turned to her brother, intending to discuss the precautions in the human world, such as never drooling in front of a mouse.

But as she turned, a breeze tousled her long hair. Inadvertently looking back, among the crowd of people, she spotted Han Chuan on the other side of the road, staring straight at her.

Song Miaomiao’s heartbeat quickened. What should she do? They were about to meet officially. What should she say?

Before she could finish her internal struggle, the crowded school gate suddenly became chaotic. Someone accidentally pushed her, causing the books in her hand to fall to the ground.

Her brother, quick to react, swiftly picked up the books for her. “Let’s go, sister.”

Song Miaomiao turned her head to look across the road again, but Han Chuan was no longer in sight. She shrugged it off; they would still meet in class. It wasn’t too late to talk then.

Walking to class with her brother, Song Miaomiao noticed him fiddling with the books in his hand. “Strange,” he remarked, “there seems to be a book missing. When we bought them yesterday, you had five books, right? Did you lose one just now? There are only four left.”

Song Miaomiao glanced at the books and confirmed, “You’re right, I’m missing a science textbook.” 

With the first bell of class ringing, she sighed, “Forget it, maybe I lost it just now. We’ll check the guard room after school to see if anyone found it. If not, we’ll buy a new one.”

As students rushed to their classrooms, Song Miaomiao and her brother hurried to theirs. Upon reaching the door, they found the head teacher waiting.

Before entering, Song Miaomiao whispered to her brother, “When you see that girl later, don’t get too excited. Don’t stare directly at her, and don’t address her as ‘Master,’ understand?”

Her brother nodded, replying, “I know.”
