Extra Chapter: About the Matter of Me Supporting You
Thanks to the cheating guy, Lucifer, Pei Xia could freely travel between two worlds, but doing it too frequently would be exhausting. So, the two of them decided to live in modern society for a while before returning.
Now, here comes the problem.
Although Pei Xia is an otaku, he is also a working office drone. His otaku side mostly manifests in staying at home after work.
On the first day back, Pei Xia got lost in sweet moments with Lucifer. He wasted the whole day, sleeping like a log in the bed. Around four or five in the afternoon, his boss, unable to bear it any longer, called with a life-or-death tone.
Pei Xia answered the call in a daze, sat up in shock, and apologized profusely with a smile on his face.
After barely managing the call, Pei Xia breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the bed, motionless.
Lucifer played with his fingers and asked, “Work?”
Pei Xia nodded, “I almost forgot about the whole work thing.”
Lucifer kissed his fingers, “Quit.”
Pei Xia hesitated, “Without a job, there’s no salary. What do we do without a salary?”
Living expenses, without exception, require money. Pei Xia’s savings were not ample enough to let him live without working for a lifetime.
Although Lucifer is a god-like being, do gods receive a salary?
Lucifer, in a leisurely manner, said, “Don’t worry, I’ll support you.”
“How?” Pei Xia was curious about what Lucifer was planning to do.
Lucifer raised a finger to his lips and made a shushing sound, “It’s a secret.”
Pei Xia chose to believe in Lucifer. In his heart, Lucifer was omnipotent, and if he said something, there was nothing he couldn’t do.
So, Pei Xia resigned immediately. However, after applying for resignation, he still needed to continue working for a while to facilitate the handover process. Pei Xia, being a responsible person, didn’t like others to suffer losses because of him, so he had to work for another month.
The next day, Pei Xia went to the company. Colleagues who had a good relationship with him came to express their concerns. Suddenly, someone pointed to his neck and asked, “Pei Xia, what’s up with your neck? Oh, don’t tell me you have a girlfriend now?”
Pei Xia hadn’t come out in the company, so he scratched his neck and smiled shyly, temporarily avoiding the topic.
However, towards the end of the day, colleagues suddenly started discussing something. It turned out that just a moment ago, a Weibo hot search was rapidly climbing, and the location of this hot search was in City A, where Pei Xia lived!
Pei Xia perked up his ears and heard keywords like fake, special effects, beautiful, foreigner, etc. He was very curious, so he clicked on a hot search called “Street Angel.” The result made him almost drop his phone in disbelief.
The first headline of the hot search was #StreetAngel# Astonishing scene on the streets of City A – Is the mysterious man an angel or a fairy?
It was a short video, very clear. The protagonist of the video was none other than Lucifer, who was cuddling with Pei Xia just that morning.
In the video, Lucifer stood at the intersection of Xingdong Road. People around him were captivated by his beauty, staring at him without being able to look away, causing the intersection to become more and more congested. In the end, even the drivers inadvertently lost their focus.
A small car suddenly went out of control and crashed into the crowd. Startled by this car, other cars behind and across from it began to show signs of a chain reaction. Just as a tragic accident was about to happen, the golden-haired beauty, who was the center of everyone’s attention, divine and not like an ordinary person, did not dodge or avoid. He suddenly raised his hand.
The out-of-control vehicle flipped suddenly, soaring into the sky!
More than a dozen cars at the intersection, about to collide, all rushed into the sky. Then, they slowed down smoothly and descended with a slow and gentle posture.
A commotion erupted among the crowd, and everyone took out their phones to capture the scene.
Lucifer sighed lightly, took two steps in the full view of everyone, and gradually disappeared in the bright sunlight.
The first comment: [This is true! I was there, and I guarantee with my life that the video is not fake!!!]
Pei Xia put down his phone, feeling his blood pressure rising continuously. When he picked up his phone again, he suddenly found that the trending topic had disappeared.
Not only did the trending topic disappear, but all related videos, images, and information also vanished.
“Pei Xia, did you see the trending topic just now?”
Pei Xia chuckled, “Yes, I saw it.”
“Eh, do you think it’s real or fake? Could it be a movie shoot?”
Pei Xia said slowly, “Uh, I don’t know.”
A curious colleague said, “I think it’s a special effect with a fake person! If there was someone that good-looking, they would have become a big star by now.”
Pei Xia said slowly, “I think it looks pretty real.”
“Oh, come on! Haha.” The colleague obviously didn’t take it seriously, chatted for a few more sentences, and then stopped bothering Pei Xia.
Pei Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but with the trending topic gone and the entry for #StreetAngel# blocked, people’s curiosity and rebellious spirit only grew stronger. Pei Xia dared not look at various speculations online.
As soon as it was time to get off work, he hurriedly walked out. However, as he walked, he noticed that people in the company were running downstairs like crazy.
Pei Xia’s expression changed when he caught certain keywords again. He hurriedly rushed downstairs and saw Lucifer standing in the company lobby, waiting to pick him up after work.
A crowd had formed a circle, but they didn’t dare to get too close to him. Therefore, a vacuum zone appeared around Lucifer. They looked at Lucifer with curious, fearful, and vaguely fascinated eyes, discussing quietly with the people around them.
Pei Xia rushed over, grabbed Lucifer’s hand, and asked, “Fei Fei, why did you come here?”
“Fei Fei?” Unexpectedly, it’s such a cute name. Wow, could he be a girl? Colleagues whispered to each other.
“Oh my god! Pei Xia actually knows this person. He pretended to be ignorant with me just now!”
“Wait a minute, I think I’ve discovered something.”
“What?”
“Ahem, don’t you think there’s something, you know, between Pei Xia and him?”
However low the voice, Lucifer could still hear it. So, he furrowed his eyebrows slightly and raised them, “Girl? Is there anything wrong with ‘Fei’?”
Pei Xia: “No, no, they’re just overthinking. Let’s go home quickly!”
“Hmm.” Lucifer looked at him thoughtfully and then took Pei Xia’s hand to head home.
Pei Xia didn’t dare to look back. He couldn’t face the gaze of his colleagues in the company and began to worry about how to face them tomorrow.
Still on the way home, Pei Xia’s WeChat was flooded with messages from curious colleagues. He didn’t know how to respond, so he simply ignored them all.
However, the problem was quickly resolved. Just as Pei Xia and Lucifer returned home, they were surrounded by several soldiers dressed in cool outfits, armed with guns and swords.
Inside the house, there were only a few special forces, along with a few people dressed in suits or traditional robes who seemed to be leaders.
Not only was the house packed with people, but there were also quite a few hidden outside.
Pei Xia: Although I knew there would be such a situation when I saw the trending topic, I was still shocked by the scale and speed.
The other party was sent by the national authorities. Faced with the sudden appearance of Lucifer, a bizarre being with formidable power, they had to control the situation to prevent any accidents.
As for why they didn’t just directly apprehend him, the advice from the experts was unanimous: never antagonize him.
Pei Xia could understand their approach. Lucifer only cared about him. He cryptically said, “I only care about Pei Xia,” and then allowed Pei Xia to communicate with them.
Pei Xia was very cooperative, and the leaders found him accommodating. Finally, through communication, they reached a consensus agreement:
First, as the only Chinese citizen capable of restraining Lucifer, Pei Xia needs to fulfill his civic duty and do everything in his power to prevent any possibility of destructive behavior by Lucifer.
Second, as Lucifer’s guardian, Pei Xia must ensure that Lucifer acts discreetly and must not engage in activities that would make the headlines, like what happened today.
Third, Pei Xia is granted the special status of an external civil servant with a monthly salary of 100,000 RMB. Special needs can be reported for reimbursement (e.g., buying a car or a house) and can be assisted by the authorities after negotiation with superiors (e.g., international travel).
Fourth, the authorities will monitor Pei Xia and Lucifer to a certain extent (Pei Xia expressed tactfully that this is not very realistic, but the other party stated that they still have to go through the motions).
Fifth, in special circumstances, Pei Xia and Lucifer must cooperate to the best of their ability with national work.
These five points are the main components of the agreement. The focus of the authorities is to have Pei Xia take full-time care of Lucifer and make sure he doesn’t cause any trouble.
Pei Xia’s key point is: Making money while in a relationship, it’s like having a stable job! I’ve hit the jackpot!
As for his original company, the leaders waved their hands, indicating that Pei Xia doesn’t need to go there from tomorrow, and that they will handle the communication with the company.
The leaders reluctantly left. It’s not that they wanted to leave like this, but apart from this, they couldn’t find a better solution. They could only hope for the best with Pei Xia.
The bank’s confirmation message arrived very quickly. Looking at the numbers on it, Pei Xia laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared. He stood on the balcony, waving goodbye to them.
Afterward, back at home, Pei Xia bumped into Lucifer’s shoulder, looking at him with admiration and joy, “Fei Fei, so this is what you meant by wanting to support me. You’re amazing!”
This could also be considered another way of him supporting me.
Lucifer looked at him with a smile that wasn’t really a smile and said, “I didn’t say it like that.”
“Well, isn’t it?” Pei Xia held his phone and looked at him in confusion.
Lucifer didn’t know how to tell Pei Xia that he went out in the afternoon just because he thought Pei Xia liked working. Influenced by Pei Xia, he wanted to experience the feeling of working here. As a result, the Son of God sought employment, but before he could complete it, he met an untimely demise. The subsequent events, well, it wasn’t intentional manipulation on his part.
But looking at Pei Xia’s bright eyes, Lucifer decided, ‘Forget it, let’s not spoil his wonderful misunderstanding.’
And it’s a good thing he didn’t, or else Pei Xia would surely have told him seriously and earnestly: ‘I don’t like working at all!’
Lucifer’s hand rested on Pei Xia’s shoulder, and a delicate, beautiful smile graced his night-like face. His voice, like celestial music, echoed in Pei Xia’s ears, “That doesn’t matter, Pei Xia. Right now, we have another matter to discuss.”
Pei Xia, captivated by him, asked, “What is it?”
“The culture here seems particularly profound. Perhaps we should talk about matters related to homophones1words that have the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spellings. They may or may not have the same spelling. I think what Lucifer meant here was when ‘Fei Fei’ was mistaken as a girl xD.”
Feeling overwhelmed, Pei Xia protested, “Isn’t this too nitpicky? It’s just a nickname, hiss! Be gentle, please!”
Lucifer chuckled lightly at his neck. Of course, he wasn’t so petty as to be bothered by such things. Terms of endearment were just an excuse to tease Pei Xia.

His voice, like celestial music, echoed in Pei Xia's ears, That doesn't matter, Pei Xia. Right now, we have another matter to discuss.Pei Xia, captivated by him, asked, What is it?The culture here seems particularly profound. Perhaps we should talk about matters related to homophones1words that have the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spellings. They may or may not have the same spelling. I think what Lucifer meant here was when Fei Fei' was mistaken as a girl xD.Feeling overwhelmed, Pei Xia protested, Isn't this too nitpicky? It's just a nickname, hiss! Be gentle, please!Lucifer chuckled lightly at his neck. Of course, he wasn't so petty as to be bothered by such things. Terms of endearment were just an excuse to tease Pei Xia.
