Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 134 : A Great Mirror

"Since you don't plan to trade with me, the deal I proposed earlier is hereby cancelled." With his hands behind his back, Brother Liu leisurely walked in front of Bai He and bent down to say to her: "Now what's between us isn't a deal, but a threat. You understand what I mean, right?"

His smile was extremely arrogant, but he indeed had the capital to be arrogant.

Her lips bitten white, Bai He's face was pale and bloodless.

Yes, this was a threat, a naked threat, but facing such a threat, she despairingly discovered she had no way to deal with it.

She didn't know how much power Brother Liu had, but undoubtedly it was definitely not a force that a powerless, penniless family of two who had trouble even making ends meet could resist.

"However, I quite like you, so I don't want to push you too hard. How about this—I can give you one more chance to repent. After all, I'm not some devil."

Brother Liu smiled and extended his index finger, making a "1" gesture: "One week. I'll give you one more week. If you come to your senses, you can come find me anytime. The conditions I promised before can still be fulfilled exactly as promised. But if more than a week passes and I still haven't received your call... face the consequences yourself."

"..." Bai He bit her lip hard, and thin traces of blood had already seeped from her delicate pink lips.

Seeing Bai He's fearful expression, Brother Liu couldn't help but laugh happily. He turned around and waved his hand: "This matter is a secret between just the two of us. You'd better not tell anyone. If you're going to speak out, you'd better be careful. I know where your school is, and I know which class you're in. You'd better remember this well, understand?"

After saying this, he didn't look at Bai He again and left with a laugh, leaving only the dispirited Bai He slowly kneeling on the ground, her eyes almost losing their proper luster.

Why... why did it have to be her... why did she have to suffer all this...

Hadn't she endured enough pain already?

The calendar was turned to June 7th.

This was an important day that could determine the fate of many people's lives, but heaven seemed blind, starting to pour torrential rain before dawn even broke, as if the sky had a huge hole torn in it.

Crescent City Meteorological Station immediately issued a red rainstorm warning and informed citizens that this might be the largest rainfall in ten years, reminding all examinees to take appropriate emergency measures to prevent being delayed by the rainstorm from taking the college entrance exam.

This was undoubtedly terrible news for Crescent City's examinees. The intense rainstorm meant they needed to spend more time on the road, and correspondingly had much less time to rest and adjust at home.

College entrance exam candidates weren't happy, and Xifeng, who didn't need to take the exam, was equally unhappy, because Tianshui No. 1 High School wasn't being used as an exam venue, so she still had to brave such heavy rain to go to class.

"How about... we take a sick day?" Xifeng turned over and lay on her stomach on the bed, extending her finger to poke Bei Yaoyue's belly. "With such heavy rain, I don't want to get up and go to class."

"No way." Bei Yaoyue glared at her irritably. "Do you think the school is your home, where you can take sick days whenever you want?"

"Isn't it? Don't teachers always say to treat school like your own home?"

Three black lines appeared on Bei Yaoyue's forehead. She reached out to ruffle Xifeng's white hair, watching the girl's enjoying expression, and said: "Stop being glib and get up quickly."

Somehow, the two of them had very naturally ended up sleeping in the same bed at night. Bei Yaoyue hadn't made any demands, nor had Xifeng made any requests—it was as if they had both silently agreed to this arrangement.

Fortunately, Bei Yaoyue still knew restraint. Knowing they had school the next day, Bei Yaoyue had let Xifeng sleep peacefully early on without doing anything that would affect her sleep.

"I can't get up. I've been sealed by the blanket." Seeing Bei Yaoyue disagree, Xifeng simply started acting spoiled. "The sealing magic is too powerful. I can't move even a finger."

After fastening her bra clasp, Bei Yaoyue raised an eyebrow, turned around, and directly lifted Xifeng's blanket and tossed it onto a nearby chair: "There, seal broken. You can get up now."

The morning rainstorm brought bone-chilling cold, making Xifeng involuntarily shiver.

"Can't you give me some face..." Xifeng complained with displeasure. At least play along with her act a little—otherwise wouldn't it make her seem very childish?

"No." Bei Yaoyue gave a very boring direct negative answer. "I only know that if you dawdle in bed any longer, we'll be late."

By the time Xifeng finished changing clothes, Bei Yaoyue had already finished washing up and come out of the bathroom. She looked at Xifeng's worried expression and asked: "What's wrong? You look unhappy."

"It's the college entrance exam today..." Xifeng hung her head dejectedly. "Just thinking about having to take the college entrance exam on this day two years from now makes me feel so difficult."

The pressure of senior year was still vivid in Xifeng's memory—getting up at 5 AM to review, often studying until 11 PM before sleeping. That pressure was even worse than the month before graduate school exams when she had to get up at 8 AM every day to go to the library.

"Look on the bright side. It's just one exam." Bei Yaoyue patted her shoulder comfortingly.

But if she knew that Xifeng had already experienced the college entrance exam once, she wondered what she would think.

"Easy for you to say..." Xifeng sighed softly. Precisely because she had experienced the college entrance exam, she truly understood how heavy its weight really was.

It was the only opportunity the country gave an ordinary person to surpass the rich second generation. Once missed, there would never be a second chance.

A newborn calf doesn't fear tigers—if she really were just an ordinary first-year high school student, she probably wouldn't think so much about it.

"There's a mirror in the bathroom. You can go try it." Bei Yaoyue pointed to the bathroom behind her.

"Hm?" Xifeng looked at Bei Yaoyue puzzledly. "Try what?"

"There's a psychological concept called subconscious motivation that can help improve one's abilities and qualities.

"For example, if every morning before going out you say a few sentences to yourself in the mirror like 'You are the best,' after a period of time..."

Hearing this, Xifeng nodded thoughtfully. Although Bei Yaoyue hadn't finished speaking, what came next was already obvious.

This sounded like a method that seemed somewhat reliable. Xifeng thought she might try it when she had time.

"...that mirror will become a great mirror."

"? Excuse me?"
