Demons Beside You

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Mr. Doman had been standing outside for a while. “Can I come in?”

Chen Zhao and Normans were already standing up, but their clothes were rumpled.

“Mr. Chen, how is your talk with Normans?”

“Very good. We had a very friendly exchange. I believe Normans will cooperate with my fitness plan.”

Normans scoffed. She didn’t refute him outright, but she’d decided not to cooperate.

Whatever Chen Zhao wanted her to do, she wouldn’t do it.

Whatever Chen Zhao wasn’t her to eat, she wouldn’t do it either.

Chen Zhao looked back at Normans who was glaring at him, shooting daggers with her eyes.

“Mr. Chen, let’s go talk in the living room.”

“Sure.”

As soon as Chen Zhao and Mr. Doman left, Normans settled back onto the tatami and shoved snacks into her mouth.

...

“Mr. Chen, you saw that Normans probably won’t cooperate. What’s your plan?”

“Mr. Doman, I have a plan already. I hope that we can start with my diet plan today.”

“Are you sure...Normans will cooperate?”

“Of course.”

“I hope you won’t use any violence, is that okay? I wish for my daughter to lose weight, not to get hurt.”

Chen Zhao had a good impression of Mr. Dorman. He was a gentleman and very well-mannered. This was different from the rich he’d met before. This meant that Mr. Dorman’s family tradition was like this.

Only a positive family environment could produce a personality like this.

“I understand. I don’t plan on using violence.”

“Do I need to supply anything?” Mr. Dorman asked.

“Please have Normans come to the grass field.”

“Okay.” Mr. Dorman rubbed his forehead. This was a hard task too.

Chen Zhao went to the grass. It was surrounded by cedar trees, separating the manor from the outside. The Silly Twins, Beelzebub and Carrie were frolicking happily.

When Chen Zhao arrived, the demons all gathered around. A while later, Normans was called to the grass unwillingly. When she saw the big and small dogs, she wanted to play with them.

Unfortunately, Chen Zhao was there, so she was still unhappy.

Chen Zhao sat on the ground with Beelzebub and Carrie in his lap. White Ma was behind him for him to lean on. Black Ma sprawled beside him.

Obitos ran around everywhere, showing no sign of going to him at all.

“Mr. Dorman, can you prepare some food for my kids? It should be cooked food.”

“Sure.” Mr. Dorman nodded and left.

A while later, two servants brought a large amount of grilled meat to Chen Zhao.

Normans gulped. Chen Zhao clapped his hands and Black Ma stuffed a whole chicken into his mouth. He swallowed after chewing a bit.

Obitos ran over too. His appetite was similar to the two Silly Twins. He could eat an entire chicken in one bite.

Normans rubbed her stomach. Her appetite was getting stronger.

Very strong!

She must be hungry because she’d fought with that guy. Thinking of this, she said, “Dad, I’m hungry too. Give me some food.”

Dorman glanced at Chen Zhao who shook his head. “No. From now on, you can only eat if you exercise enough.”

“Dad.” Normans stared at her father unhappily.

Mr. Dorman chuckled wryly. “I’m busy. I’ll go now.”

Normans turned to leave too, but White Ma ran over to her easily and blocked her way. She looked at Chen Zhao. “You sent your dog to bite me?”

Chen Zhao took a handful of coins out of nowhere and scattered them all over the grass.

“If you can find more coins than White Ma, you can eat as much as you want. If you don’t find as much as him, then you’ll have to follow my rules and exercise. How about that?”

“You think I’ll listen to you?”

“You think you can’t even beat a dog?”

Normans turned to him. She still had a dignity. When Chen Zhao compared her to a dog, she still felt angry.

“The coins that you just scattered?”

“Yes, the ones in this area.”

Chen Zhao tossed two plates onto the ground. “Put the coins that you find here. Whoever finds more will win. Go.”

Normans looked at White Ma. The white dog was really cute, but Normans would try her hardest for food.

White Ma was about to go too, but Chen Zhao said, “White Ma, go easy on her.”

But White Ma didn’t want to. He pounced and his tongue shot out, curling a coin into his mouth. In a short while, he had a dozen coins in his mouth. Running lightly to his plate, he spat it all out.

If the coins were on concrete, it would be easy to find. However, it was in the grass now and the vegetation covered them. They were harder to find.

Normans only found a few in the first minute. They weren’t in the same level in this race.

“The result is quite obvious.” Chen Zhao looked at White Ma’s plate.

Normans was angered. She hurled her coins into the plate. “I’m not playing anymore! Only a dumb*ss will be controlled by you.”

She turned and left in anger, going straight to open the fridge in the kitchen. She took out a bottle of milk and started pouring it down.

A mouthful later, Normans suddenly felt disgusted and started throwing up. In an instant, Normans’ appetite disappeared completely.

Maybe she’d exercised too much earlier, causing her to lose her appetite. She could only leave the kitchen.

After leaving, she saw Chen Zhao standing outside with Beelzebub, smiling at her. Nameless anger flared within Normans. “What are you looking at?”

“Do you feel hungry right now?”

Normans rubbed her stomach. For some reason, she felt hungry again, but she said stubbornly, “It’s none of your business.”

“I told you that if you don’t meet my requirements, you won’t eat anything today.”

Normans turned and went into the kitchen. She took two apples out of the fridge, returned to Chen Zhao, and ate half an apple right there. After chewing, the nauseous feeling came again.

Blech—

Normans threw up everywhere. This time, the feeling was even more intense. It felt like she’d even thrown up some stomach acid.

“What did you do to me?” Normans looked at Chen Zhao weakly.
