Ellis wasn't fooled by his attitude and remained calmly staring at him, as if he wanted to see any real emotion in his eyes.
Silence filled the air between the two, and in the end, it was Nyx who was defeated first, averting his gaze and saying softly, "... What the hell do you want?"
Ellis sighed slightly, easing his tone a bit, "I'm not your enemy, Nyx."
Nyx froze, his eyes wavering slightly.
"You want to fold, fold."Ellis stood up, his tone light, "But don't forget where you are now, and don't forget ..."
He paused for a moment, looking deep into Nyx's eyes, "I'm your indentured servant."
Nyx stared at Ellis's back, a wave of mixed emotions welling up in his heart.He certainly hadn't forgotten.
Nyx lay on the bed, his hand resting behind his head, putting on a relaxed and contented look, as if he wasn't the one who had just been ruthlessly suppressed and locked up for so many days by Ellis.
"Gee whiz, a mere house arrest is nothing."He grunted, trying to sound relaxed and casual, but before the words left his mouth, he tore a bruise on his back when he rolled over, and sucked in a breath of pain.
Okay, it still hurt a little.But so what?Demons, how can you show your vulnerability so easily?Holding on for dear life was the way to go.
Nyx ruffled up his hair and straightened it in the bedside mirror, making sure that his expression was still untamed and his eyes were still cocky and confident before he nodded his head in satisfaction.
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Ellis's voice came in coldly, "Time for your medicine."
Nyx rolled his eyes, mentally spitting madly - here we go again, this cold tone again, like he's dealing with some bratty kid.Come on, I'm the devil, the devil!
But when Ellis entered, he still wore an arrogant expression of "I'm invincible, I don't need medicine", and looked at Ellis askance: "Tch, did you misunderstand something?I'm a demon, the wound can heal itself ..."
Ellis directly put the medicine on the table and indifferently said, "Eat it."
Nyx: "..."
The other party didn't eat his shit at all.
"Ha ...ha, I told you."Nyx sits up and absently picks up the pill bottle and shakes it with a "I planned to take it a long time ago, and it's definitely not because you forced me to" look on his face before swallowing it slowly.
Ellis stared at him to make sure he finished it before turning to leave.
However, just as he pulled the door open, Nyx suddenly spoke up, a smirk hanging at the corner of his mouth, "Ellis, do you think I'm a pain in the ass?"
Ellis paused slightly in his footsteps and replied faintly, "Yes."
Nyx: "..." This person is also too incapable of comforting the devil, isn't he?
The smile at the corner of Nyx's mouth froze and he cursed in his heart.This person didn't even bother to pretend to be polite, he really owed it.
Still, he quickly regained his expression management, raised an eyebrow, and hummed with feigned disinterest, "Yeah right, I knew you thought I was trouble."
Ellis didn't bother to answer, just glanced back at him, his gaze too calm to speak of, as if he was looking at an unthreatening brat.
This attitude made Nyx even more irritated, and he was about to say something else to provoke him, only for Ellis to simply shake off, "You're harder to manage than any student I've ever taken before."Then he simply walked away.
Nyx: "..."
Great, now he's not a demon, he's a bear.He slammed his fist on a pillow, the arrogance finally crumbling a little from his face.
Of course he knew that Ellis didn't really hate him, or else he wouldn't have healed his injuries, or brought him food and medicine on time every day, or tucked him in when he fell asleep ...
However, Ellis' attitude still made him feel annoyed.That nonchalant, as if he knew everything about him, yet always kept his distance - too sensible, too calm, as if no matter how much he tossed and turned, Ellis wouldn't really be affected.
