Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 132 : Endurance

Unexpectedly hearing Bei Yaoyue's voice from the speaker, He Pingge's smile immediately froze on her face.

"Why are you the one answering the phone? Where's Xifeng?"

"She's washing up. If you have anything to say, you can tell me and I'll pass it on to her later."

This declaration that seemed like marking territory made He Pingge's brow furrow directly. She said with great displeasure: "When she's done washing up, give her the phone. I have private matters to discuss with her."

"Alright then." Bei Yaoyue agreed, and soon He Pingge heard Bei Yaoyue calling Xifeng's name.

"Coo Coo, morning." Xifeng's voice, carrying a hint of unnaturalness, reached He Pingge's ears.

Ah, Xifei!

Xifeng's soft, sweet voice instantly brightened He Pingge's somewhat displeased mood.

"Just woke up? You sound drowsy." she asked.

Looking at Bei Yaoyue on top of her, watching her with ill intent, Xifeng smiled awkwardly and quickly replied: "...Right, right, just woke up."

"How have these past few days been?"

"Pretty good, just ordinary life."

Bei Yaoyue raised an eyebrow. So this kind of life counted as "ordinary" life? Then she wouldn't mind having a bit more of such ordinary life.

The two searched for topics, chatting about various details of daily life. After a few exchanges, He Pingge finally got to the main point: "Speaking of which, I have my college entrance exam tomorrow."

She didn't have any particular agenda—she just wanted to hear a few words of encouragement from Xifeng.

Hearing He Pingge's words, Xifeng was stunned, then slapped her thigh hard. Damn it, how could she have forgotten about this?

It was all because... all because life had been too comfortable lately, plus being in high school, she had become completely insensitive to what date it was.

As everyone knows, in high school you don't know the date, only what day of the week it is. In college you know the date and also know what day of the week it is. When working, you don't know the date and don't know what day of the week it is.

"I wish you all the best on your college entrance exam, Coo Coo! Fighting!"

Fortunately, this blessing didn't come too late. Perhaps it didn't have much meaning, but it was still a sincere sentiment.

"Mm, thank you."

"Which university are you planning to apply to?"

"Crescent University of Technology." After saying this, He Pingge fell slightly silent. "But I don't have much confidence."

"Hey, have some confidence, will you? Your grades are much better than mine. Look, even someone with grades like mine..."

...could get into Crescent University of Technology.

As she spoke, Xifeng realized something was wrong and quickly buried the rest of her words in her heart.

Indeed, one is born in sorrow and dies in comfort. These days of easy living had almost made her lose all vigilance, and she nearly blurted out a secret she couldn't tell.

The person listening to her words now wasn't just one person, but two.

Although Xifeng believed that even if Bei Yaoyue and He Pingge knew the truth, they wouldn't have any prejudice against her, this kind of thing was still better left alone.

"You must rest well tonight, and make sure to get enough sleep before going to battle tomorrow."

"Mm mm, I will." He Pingge smiled knowingly. Xifeng still cared about her after all.

"You should go scope out the exam venue this afternoon, right?" Xifeng recalled her own pre-exam preparations.

"Mm, I'm planning to go take a look after lunch."

"Pack your things first, so you don't rush around tomorrow morning and forget something. Check your gel pens, answer sheet pens, rulers..."

Listening to Xifeng's nagging reminders, He Pingge not only felt no annoyance but listened with a smile on her face.

Xifeng always treated and cared for everyone in her life so gently. She really loved this side of Xifeng.

More than once, He Pingge had wondered why such a gentle person couldn't be treated gently by the world in return.

Losing both parents while still a minor—why did such painful experiences have to be borne by Xifeng?

"...Especially your admission ticket, absolutely do not forget to bring it. You can buy or borrow pens temporarily, but if you forget your admission ticket... Ah!!!"

Xifeng's sudden cry of alarm made He Pingge's heart jump, and she hurriedly asked: "Xifeng!? What happened!?"

"Nothing... just... stubbed my pinky toe on the corner." Xifeng's voice sounded like she was enduring something.

"Pft." He Pingge couldn't help but laugh. "You reminded me of so many things, but you should be more careful yourself. Does it hurt a lot?"

"Not... not painful, mmm..."

"You say it doesn't hurt, but your voice doesn't sound like it doesn't hurt at all." He Pingge looked at the blue sky outside the window with a smile. When would Xifeng fix her habit of being stubborn—then she'd be a perfect wife candidate.

In the embrace of the azure sky lay a pure white leisurely cloud.

"Mmm... it doesn't hurt at all... I'm just..." Xifeng's voice already carried a hint of tears, clearly indicating it must hurt a lot.

Suddenly, Xifeng's voice cut off abruptly, as if the phone had been suddenly hung up. He Pingge looked at her screen—the call was still connected, so she asked puzzledly: "Xifeng? Can you hear me?"

But facing her calls, still no one responded. Her calls were like stones sinking into the sea, without any reply.

"Hello? Xifeng?"

He Pingge scratched her head in confusion. Was it bad signal? But wasn't the signal at full bars?

Of course Xifeng had no time to answer her now. The phone had been tossed aside to the pillow, and she was covering her mouth forcefully with both hands, using all her willpower to resist the urge to make sounds.

Two mischievous little hands—one **** her cat ears, continuously stimulating the tuft of fur inside her ear, while the other hand caressed her tail wantonly.

"~~~~~~~~~~~"

Absolutely not! She absolutely could not let He Pingge hear any strange sounds!!!

Xifeng felt like her head was about to explode.

Originally, she had unfastened the cat collar's buckle for He Pingge's call, but unexpectedly, halfway through their chat, Bei Yaoyue vengefully caressed her tattoo, making the tattoo's glow several shades more intense.

The furious and embarrassed Xifeng had originally planned to kick that villain a few times as warning, but Bei Yaoyue反手 fastened the cat collar back on her, giving her two more weak points and leaving her completely unable to resist.

"Xifeng, can you hear me?"

He Pingge was still trying to call out to Xifeng. Feeling that leaving it like this wasn't a solution, she gritted her teeth and picked up the phone.

"Um... Coo Coo... mmm... I'm not feeling... well right now... meow... let's... talk when... we have time... meow!"

Xifeng's intermittent voice, sounding like she was struggling to endure something, brought He Pingge's worry to its peak: "Is it serious? Are you bleeding? If you're bleeding, quickly bandage it."

He Pingge knew Xifeng was afraid of pain. The worst consequence would be if her entire toenail was kicked off—for Xifeng, that would be like torture.

"It's fine... meow... I'll rest... for a bit and... be okay... goodbye... meow!"

"Beep, beep, beep..."

The call was hung up. He Pingge helplessly laughed and sighed. Xifeng was still so stubborn.

But speaking of which, what did "meow" mean?
