Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 104 : But My Heart Holds an Umbrella for Her

The rain kept falling.

Like God had knocked over a cup full of water, endless water drops fell tirelessly, wetting Bei Yaoyue's hair, cheeks, clothes, shoes...

And her eyes.

The rainwater was salty.

She raised her head, letting that liquid—whether tears or rain—flow down her cheeks.

Cold icy rain slapped chaotically against her face, warm tears mixing with the cold rain.

Her feelings for Xifeng had been brutally trampled. Her heart felt as if it had been cruelly stabbed with a blade, leaving only heart-wrenching pain.

She comforted herself that at least she could still feel heartache, because pain was a symbol of life's existence. If the heart died, became numb, then even pain couldn't be felt.

"Do you really understand what it means to like someone?"

Bei Yaochen's questioning lingered around her ears like a persistent ghost, disturbing her soul, making her very indignant, even wanting to immediately turn back and have a big fight with Bei Yaochen.

Of course she knew. Why did Bei Yaochen treat her like an ignorant child?

She not only understood what it meant to like someone, but also understood what love meant.

When Xifeng was happy, she would be happy. When Xifeng was sad, she would also be sad. She wanted to monopolize Xifeng's body and also monopolize Xifeng's heart. She was willing to climb mountains of knives and descend seas of fire for Xifeng's smile, and willing to sacrifice everything she had for Xifeng's happiness...

If this wasn't love, then she would never believe in love again in this lifetime.

"Bei Yaoyue..."

A voice extremely soft yet seemingly magical penetrated through the heavy rain sounds and entered Bei Yaoyue's heart.

She froze for a moment, turned her head, and discovered Xifeng standing behind her quietly watching her. Perhaps because the rain was too loud, she hadn't noticed there was another person beside her at all. She didn't even know how long Xifeng had been standing beside her.

For the first time in her life, Bei Yaoyue fell in love with rain, because rainwater could completely cover her tears, completely washing away and erasing the traces of her weakness.

But what she didn't know was that her slightly red eye rims still betrayed her.

"Why did you come out?" Her brows furrowed, Bei Yaoyue said in a reproachful tone: "Just wearing pajamas, aren't you afraid of getting sick from the rain?"

When saying this, Bei Yaoyue seemed completely unaware that she was also only wearing pajamas, drenched from head to toe by the rain.

Her eyes rained for her, but her heart held an umbrella for her—this was love.

"You're the one to talk!" Xifeng rarely used a strong tone, pushing back with momentum: "Whether you want to or not, get inside right now!"

Xifeng clearly understood her body's recovery ability. Even cuts could completely heal within ten-odd minutes, so a small cold couldn't cause any waves. But she was genuinely worried about Bei Yaoyue.

Although it was early summer now, the evening temperature was already low, and the torrential rain that had lasted half a day brought the temperature to its lowest point since May. Standing in the rain wearing only pajamas in such conditions had a high probability of causing illness if one wasn't careful.

"..." Bei Yaoyue turned her head away from Xifeng's gaze, her voice dejected: "I don't want to go back."

She felt she needed some quiet time, and even more needed to temporarily avoid Bei Yaochen.

"Are you crazy?!" Xifeng rolled her eyes at her. "If not going back, then where? Sleep on the streets?"

Speaking thus, Xifeng reached out to grab Bei Yaoyue's arm, dragging her toward the villa.

"Let's go home." Bei Yaoyue resisted Xifeng's pulling force. "Go back to... our home."

"Okay, okay, okay." Xifeng agreed dismissively. "Whatever you want, but before that, let's go inside first, okay? If you don't care about your body, I still do."

After what had just happened, Xifeng's heart wasn't feeling any better than Bei Yaoyue's, but she was at least more mature than Bei Yaoyue. She understood that no matter what, she had to maintain rationality at this moment and not be hijacked by emotion. Getting Bei Yaoyue to stop standing in the rain was what she most needed to consider right now.

But Bei Yaoyue was unmoved, seemingly determined not to go back. Xifeng, unable to budge her, had no way to deal with her.

"If you don't go back, I'm going to call Mom and Dad!" Xifeng stamped her feet angrily, only able to bring out her ultimate trump card.

At this moment, a silver-white sedan stopped beside the two. The window slowly lowered under the motor's drive, and sitting in the driver's seat was the cousin Xifeng had just met, Bei Yaoluo.

"Get in the car." Bei Yaoluo smiled helplessly. "I'll drive you home."

On the ring highway.

The car drove in the opposite direction from when they came, the rain outside the window seemingly endless, never stopping.

Crescent City was coastal with a humid climate, so rain was commonplace, but torrential rain that had lasted this long without any signs of weakening could definitely be called a once-in-several-years occurrence.

Seemingly having nothing to chat about, the three remained silent throughout the journey.

"Xifeng." Bei Yaoyue was the first to break the silence. "I'm so cold... can you hold me?"

Not just her body was cold, but her heart too.

"You..." Xifeng sighed. "Look what happens when you have your episodes, running out to get rained on in the middle of the night."

Though she was scolding with her words, Xifeng still held Bei Yaoyue lovingly, trying her best to transfer her body warmth to her.

Unfortunately, she had also been rained on and was equally soaked, so this could have minimal effect at best, perhaps more of just psychological comfort.

This was the first time Xifeng had taken the initiative to hold Bei Yaoyue in her arms. Only then did she understand that Bei Yaoyue's body was also so petite, that girls' bodies were so soft, that the feeling of holding a girl was so intoxicating...

It felt somewhat addictive. Xifeng felt as if she had opened the door to a new world.

"How far have you two gone?" Bei Yaoluo suddenly interjected.

"Uh..." Xifeng hesitated whether to answer. She was thinking about which camp Bei Yaoluo belonged to, whether she was trustworthy.

"Too embarrassed to say?" Bei Yaoluo let out a light laugh. "Then it seems you two are much more precocious than I imagined. How old are you, and already..."

"Sister Luo!" Xifeng hurriedly interrupted with some shame and annoyance. "We haven't done that kind of thing!"

"Hm? What kind of thing?" Raising an eyebrow, Bei Yaoluo's voice carried a trace of playfulness. "I didn't say anything. How do you understand more than I do?"

"No... I..." Now it was Xifeng's turn to be embarrassed. Had she really misunderstood?

"Just kidding. I'm just very curious about how far you two have actually gotten." Bei Yaoluo looked ahead at the road. "Don't worry, I won't tell Uncle and Auntie. They're my elders, you two are my sisters. Do you need to ask which side I'm on?"

Moreover, such cute sisters at that, she thought to herself.

Bei Yaoluo felt lucky she was straighter than a ruler, because if she had even the slightest bent tendency, she might be turned into a mosquito coil by these two sisters.

Xifeng was still hesitating when Bei Yaoyue, looking at the rain outside the window, said something shocking: "We've done it."
