Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 135 : Unreasonable

The class bell rang, and only then did Bai He realize that an entire class period had quietly slipped away from her fingertips. She had spent the whole class in a daze, not hearing anything.

Brother Liu's matter was like a nightmare entangling her heart, making her somewhat absent-minded these past few days.

She didn't know what she should do. If possible, she would never be willing to sell her body no matter what, but if she angered Brother Liu... she didn't know if her fragile family could withstand the impact of such force.

With her mind in turmoil, Bai He closed her textbook, got up and walked to the corridor outside the classroom, quietly standing by the railing at the boundary between the two classes, secretly looking into Class 2.

Behind her, wind howled and thunder crashed with rain, perfectly matching her current mood.

That white-haired girl sat in her seat chatting with other students, seemingly telling some joke that made the other students burst into laughter.

Xifeng really has good popularity.

Bai He couldn't help but sigh in her heart. How wonderful it would be if she could have such popularity too.

She felt that Xifeng was like a pearl, naturally radiating dazzling light wherever she went, while she didn't have this kind of universally beloved charm.

Her looks could only be considered above average, her personality wasn't very good either—rather irritable and easily angered—plus her poor family circumstances meant she couldn't get along at all with the academic achievers or rich second-generation students in Class 1. The only person who could be called a friend was probably Su Weiai, who could get along with anyone.

Perhaps her gaze was too intense, as Xifeng in the classroom noticed Bai He outside the window, then stopped chatting and walked toward the classroom exit.

"Did you need something from me?" Xifeng leaned against the railing beside Bai He and asked her.

Seeing that her peeping had been discovered, Bai He looked embarrassed: "Uh... nothing really."

She didn't know why, but when getting along with Xifeng, her heart beat faster than usual. Even when playing games and hearing Xifeng's voice, she would be happy for a long time.

Using peripheral vision to secretly observe Xifeng's absolutely beautiful face, Bai He thought that the man who could marry such an elf-like girl would definitely have used up eight lifetimes' worth of luck.

Bai He's gaze fell on those thin lips. Looking at those cherry lips that were pink and crystalline like cherries, she couldn't help but lick her own lips, thinking to herself: Who would have the fortune to taste these lips in the future?

Could that person... be herself?

Thinking this, Bai He shamefully lowered her head, feeling she was truly dirty for having such fantasies about kissing a female classmate.

"By the way." Xifeng seemed to remember something and patted Bai He's arm. "Has that Brother Liu come to trouble you again since then?"

Hearing Xifeng mention Brother Liu, Bai He's expression immediately stiffened. She almost instinctively wanted to nod, but she recalled the warning Brother Liu had left her before leaving.

"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..."

Involuntarily pressing her lips together, Bai He hesitated before shaking her head: "No."

It wasn't that Bai He didn't trust Xifeng, but she really didn't dare tell anyone.

But how could her little thoughts hide from Xifeng, who had over twenty years of life experience? Seeing her pressed lips and trembling eyes, Xifeng had already gotten the answer she wanted.

Sighing inwardly, Xifeng didn't expose Bai He's lie to her face, because she could see that Bai He didn't want others to know about this matter.

Even so, Xifeng still couldn't bear to leave it alone, but with the situation unclear, she didn't dare rashly call the police. The only method she could think of was to go discuss it with Bei Yaoyue.

"It's good that he hasn't bothered you again. You don't need to be afraid of him either. This is a society ruled by law—he wouldn't dare act recklessly." Xifeng could only try to comfort Bai He indirectly.

"Mm... you're right." Bai He forced a smile. Although the content of Xifeng's words couldn't really put her mind at ease, having Xifeng's comfort made her feel much better.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to the classroom to prepare materials for the next class."

"Mm, bye."

Watching Xifeng's back as she entered the classroom, Bai He's gaze flickered several times. She felt she was becoming very strange.

She would occasionally want to see Xifeng's figure, want to hear Xifeng's voice, and often even want to go hug Xifeng—though of course, her reason would stop her from doing so.

She rubbed her temples, wondering in her heart: What was wrong with her?

Bai He, leaning against the railing with a worried expression, didn't notice that not far away, a black-haired, blue-green-eyed girl had been watching the two of them for quite a while.

Returning to her seat, Xifeng took out her phone from her drawer and sent Bei Yaoyue a message.

"Hey!"

Soon Bei Yaoyue replied: "What is it."

"Bai He is being harassed again by that man who tried to assault her last time!"

"Oh, and then?"

Bei Yaoyue's reply made Xifeng pause: "What do you mean 'and then'?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"Don't you plan to think of a way to help her?"

"Why should I help her?"

"???"

Frowning, Xifeng typed in annoyance: "Don't you have any compassion at all?"

Before she finished typing, Bei Yaoyue had already sent a message first.

"Every day in the world, countless people are bullied, robbed, and murdered. Are you planning to help them all?"

Xifeng's hand stopped just before pressing send, and soon another message came.

"It's good that you have a kind heart, but you can't help every person who needs help."

Bei Yaoyue's words made Xifeng fall into contemplation. Did she have a point?

Perhaps there was some truth to it, but...

Xifeng bit her teeth, deleted the previous sentence, and replied: "But... at least help the people we can see, right? Bai He is your classmate."

"Among my classmates, there are also those whose family companies went bankrupt and are heavily in debt. Should I also help them pay off their debts?"

"You!" Xifeng was furious for a moment but didn't know what to say, so she could only angrily send four words and then put away her phone in frustration.

"Unreasonable!"

Expressionlessly ending the chat with Xifeng, Bei Yaoyue lightly tapped her forehead with her hand and switched to her chat window with Uncle Chen.

"Uncle Chen, have you found information on the person I asked you to investigate last time?"

Actually, from the moment Xifeng started speaking, Bei Yaoyue had planned to help with this matter to the end—of course, not for Bai He. She had no interest in helping someone who seemed to already be on the path to becoming her romantic rival, but unfortunately this was Xifeng's request.

The previous conversation wasn't meant to deliberately anger Xifeng either. She just wanted to use this opportunity to tell Xifeng some things she wanted to say.

Because overly abundant kindness could sometimes invite disaster instead.
