Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 118 : Do, Everything Can Be Done

If Xifeng had been present for Bei Yaochen's speech, she would definitely have cried her eyes out, with "Father" and "Mother" playing on endless loop in her left and right ears. Having lacked seven years of paternal and maternal love, her resistance to such scenes was virtually zero.

But Bei Yaoyue was different. Her expression barely changed, with only her somewhat chaotic breathing revealing that her heart wasn't as calm as her surface appeared.

"I know you don't like your mother and me, so we've always let you have your way, trying not to lecture you as much as possible. But now, there are still some things I must tell you."

As he spoke, Bei Yaochen turned to look at Bei Yaoyue. She also raised her head, and the two made eye contact, their gazes interweaving complexly.

Bei Yaochen's voice was grave as he spoke word by word: "It's time to learn to be more mature, Bei Yaoyue.

"You will be someone who supports a family in the future. Think carefully—do you currently have the qualifications and ability to become Xifeng's protective umbrella and the pillar of your household?"

Her eyes suddenly trembling, Bei Yaoyue froze in place. Although Bei Yaochen's words were brief, they stirred up tremendous waves in her heart.

Previously, when she lived alone, it naturally didn't matter how willful, indulgent, or reckless she was.

But now it was different. She had Xifeng, someone to accompany her, yet she still acted as willfully as before, like a child who never grew up.

Since the two had met, it had always been Xifeng accommodating her, letting her throw tantrums, giving her countless amounts of tolerance and understanding.

Such a version of herself was completely unworthy of being Xifeng's lover.

Her mind wavering, Bei Yaoyue took a deep breath. Indeed, as Bei Yaochen said, she had to become mature, become reliable enough to use her own shoulders to hold up a free and unrestrained sky for Xifeng.

"I will." Bei Yaoyue answered in a low voice, having secretly made up her mind.

Xifeng, wait for me. I will definitely work hard to grow, become better than I am now, become more worthy of you.

Then, I will protect you, love you, cherish you, and never let you suffer any grievance or harm again.

I will make you the happiest person in this world.

I definitely will.

On the other side.

Xifeng followed Kisaragi Ichika all the way to the observation balcony, where the night breeze blew gently, bringing refreshing coolness.

Clear moonlight bathed her body, bringing Xifeng waves of warmth. The feeling of being back in her mother's embrace made her comfortably squint her eyes.

The moon really is a good civilization. Sun, get lost, she thought to herself.

Kisaragi Ichika placed both hands on the railing, gazing at the distant skyscrapers hidden under colorful neon lights, and said: "Your father and I have thought clearly about you two."

Xifeng's heart suddenly tightened. She walked to Kisaragi Ichika's side with a serious expression, as if facing a great enemy, as though she were hearing some life-or-death matter.

Though, in a sense... this really could be considered a major life event for her.

Her heart beating as fast as a ruler flicked on the edge of a table, Xifeng couldn't help but worry—if her parents didn't agree, what should they do? Would they really have to abandon their current life and elope?

"We support you two being together."

Unlike the business-born Bei Yaochen, Kisaragi Ichika had much less flowery language, but her simple, unadorned words overflowed with deep maternal love.

Instantly falling into a daze, Xifeng completely couldn't believe what she had heard. Bei Yaochen and Kisaragi Ichika had actually chosen to support them?!

This meant that at least half the obstacles between them had been removed.

After being stunned for a moment, she forcefully pinched her own cheek.

It hurt—she wasn't dreaming. Everything she heard was real.

Xifeng couldn't help but sigh with admiration. Bei Yaochen was indeed a successful big capitalist. To be worthy of Bei Yaochen, Kisaragi Ichika naturally wasn't simple either. Just their ability to accept things was already beyond what many people could achieve.

She put herself in their shoes—if she heard that her two daughters had gotten together... actually, that sounded pretty good?

Having almost never been this happy before, Xifeng was so excited her face turned red. She wanted to say something to express her feelings, but unfortunately her cultural education was lacking. At the crucial moment, she was at a loss for words. After holding it in for a long time, she finally managed only two words.

"Thank you!"

Hearing Xifeng's words, Kisaragi Ichika first froze, then burst out laughing. She waved her hand and scolded affectionately: "What are you saying thank you for? That's too formal, isn't it? Isn't it natural for parents to support their daughter?"

"Uh..." Xifeng smiled sheepishly. Although the two constantly addressed each other as mother and daughter, no matter what, she was ultimately just an adopted daughter. The blood flowing in her veins wasn't from the Bei Yao family after all, so some distance was inevitable.

To truly treat Bei Yaochen and his wife as her own parents would take some time for Xifeng to adjust.

"Xifeng, Mom wants to ask you something."

"Mm?"

"You and Bei Yaoyue have done those adult things, haven't you?"

After a brief moment of shock, Xifeng quickly suppressed the panic in her eyes and laughed as if nothing had happened: "Mom, what are you talking about? We're only fifteen—how could we have done that?"

Xifeng was speechless. Were foreigners naturally more open? To actually ask about such things, and to her own daughter no less...

Looking at Xifeng's composed appearance, Kisaragi Ichika first showed some surprise at her lying ability, then smiled: "You don't need to hide it anymore. Bei Yaoyue already told me."

"...?" Xifeng was confused. Bei Yaoyue had been the one to report on her? What kind of operation was this?

She angrily gritted her teeth. You dead Bei Yaoyue, you backstabbing traitor! Just wait until I get back—I'll pin you down on the bed and make you meow!

She felt she could write a novel about this. She had even thought of the title: "The Spy Was Right Beside Me."

"Although you're still young, this is your freedom. If you like doing it, Mom won't say anything."

Hey hey, what do you mean "we like doing it"... It's clearly your precious daughter who likes doing it, okay...

Xifeng complained internally. How was she supposed to explain to Kisaragi Ichika that she didn't like doing such things at all, but that Bei Yaoyue, that beast, forced her to do them?

"But Mom has one requirement that you must promise me."

"What requirement?"

Xifeng was so embarrassed she wanted to jump off the balcony. The impact of discussing such embarrassing matters face-to-face with her mother was too overwhelming.

"Before you come of age, don't do things that would harm your body, okay?"

The implication being: except for crossing that final line, everything else could be done.

After being silent for a while, Xifeng nodded with a flushed face: "Okay..."
