Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 136 : The Best Candidate

"Did your sister make you angry again?" Bai Pu, sitting nearby, looked at Xifeng's sulking appearance and couldn't help but tease.

"Yeah... how did you know?" Xifeng nodded and slumped powerlessly onto her desk.

"You have such a good temper. Besides your sister, who else could make you angry?" Bai Pu shrugged. "I've never seen you get angry at anyone other than your sister."

"Uh..." After being stunned for a moment, Xifeng could only let out an awkward laugh. Thinking about it carefully, it really seemed to be the case.

Among the people around her, only Bei Yaoyue could easily ignite her anger, but Bei Yaoyue was also the person she liked most. This was probably what they called loving and fighting each other.

Because she cared, she minded. Although Bei Yaoyue could always make her so angry that her soul left her body, if Bei Yaoyue were replaced with someone else, Xifeng probably wouldn't give a damn about them.

Speaking of personality, Bai Pu recalled last night's dormitory talk session and poked Xifeng's arm with his elbow: "Speaking of which, aren't you curious about what we boys talk about in our dormitory every night?"

"Not curious." Xifeng decisively shook her head.

"..."

Before he could even start talking, he was rejected outright. Bai Pu awkwardly touched his nose and asked again: "Are you really not curious?"

He felt that just like their dormitory often discussed what girls talked about in their dormitory, logically girls should also be interested in their topics, right?

"...I'm really not curious." Xifeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She even had an impulse to tell Bai Pu: I fucking lived in a boys' dormitory for seven years, six years more than you. I know way better than you what you guys talk about.

The topics were nothing more than studies, games, NBA, family, news, and... girls. In high school when everyone was just awakening to love, they talked about girls a lot. By college when everyone matured, the topics basically only included family, games, and NBA.

"Fine."

Bai Pu awkwardly retreated to his seat, but he still felt like he had to get this off his chest, so he turned his head again and said: "Our dormitory was discussing last night which girl in our class would be the best girlfriend candidate."

Although she wasn't very interested in this kind of thing, seeing Bai Pu so insistent, Xifeng couldn't refuse outright, so she pretended to be interested and asked back: "So who did you guys decide on?"

Saying she was pretending... actually Xifeng was still a tiny bit curious about the answer.

Being competitive was human nature, and moreover, Xifeng possessed such powerful hardware advantages that she naturally would instinctively expect to be the most excellent person in the boys' minds.

Bai Pu smiled mysteriously: "Guess?"

Xifeng thought about it and felt the answer was probably herself with about 80-90% certainty. This wasn't her being narcissistic, but rather... to put it bluntly, anyone with eyes would know how to choose.

Just in terms of looks alone, Xifeng was confident she wouldn't lose to any peer, and she believed her personality didn't have any major problems either.

But Xifeng was too embarrassed to guess herself directly, so she said: "Is it Mu Qing?"

Mu Qing was Class 2's class beauty—strictly speaking, the former class beauty. She had excellent academic performance, was easygoing, and had always been quite popular in class. But ever since Xifeng transferred here, she had been overshadowed by Xifeng, and many people who used to orbit around Mu Qing gradually shifted to Xifeng's trajectory.

Although Mu Qing never seemed to care about such things, it was hard to say whether she held any grudges deep down. At least currently, while Mu Qing's attitude toward Xifeng wasn't bad, it couldn't be called good either.

Xifeng could only helplessly shrug about this and let it be. She was an adult after all and had no intention of competing with these little kids for such trivial matters.

"Bingo! You got it right, it's Mu Qing." Bai Pu smiled and snapped his fingers. "All six people in our dormitory voted unanimously that Mu Qing is the best girlfriend candidate."

"Oh..." A fleeting sense of loss passed through her heart, but Xifeng quickly recovered her smile. "Looks like great minds think alike."

"I say..." Bai Pu observed Xifeng's smile that didn't seem fake and felt his goal wasn't achieved, making him somewhat depressed. "Don't you feel unhappy about it?"

"Why would I feel unhappy?" Xifeng looked at Bai Pu with surprise, not hiding the confusion in her eyes, as if feeling unhappy about such a thing was very strange.

Well, actually she was still a little bit unhappy, Xifeng said quietly in her heart.

No matter who it was, when their strengths were surpassed by others, there would always be some discomfort in their heart.

"Sigh... you're really special, completely different from other girls your age." Bai Pu scratched the back of his head. "How should I put it... you feel much more mature than girls your age."

Because Bai Pu was Xifeng's desk mate, he had received plenty of jealous comments from classmates, and some had even encouraged him to pursue her. But unfortunately... he already had someone in his heart.

If he hadn't already given his heart to someone else, having such an alluring desk mate and not making a move would really be wasting this great opportunity of being desk mates.

"Really? Thanks for the compliment." Besides awkward laughter, Xifeng didn't know what other expression to make. Having lived six or seven years longer, of course she was more mature...

"And..." Pinching his chin, Bai Pu looked Xifeng up and down and murmured: "I always feel you're somewhat different from when you first arrived."

"Different?" Bai Pu's words piqued Xifeng's curiosity. She leaned her head over and asked: "Different how? I've only been here for less than a month, there shouldn't be any changes, right?"

"Hmm... how should I put it?" Bai Pu tapped his head with his finger, trying to find suitable vocabulary to describe his feelings.

But unfortunately, his vocabulary was insufficient, and he couldn't figure out how to express it no matter how much he thought.

After pondering for a long time, he suddenly clapped his hands in realization: "I know!"

"Then tell me quickly."

"You're much more feminine than you were a month ago!"

"@&%¥@!@¥%%*..."

The corner of her mouth twitched violently, and Xifeng said with a forced smile: "I... thank you."

She almost couldn't hold back from adding a modal particle after "I".

Bai Pu really wasn't wrong. After all those things that had happened these past days... she had indeed become much more feminine than before.

"It's true!" Bai Pu said with conviction.

"..."

Rolling her eyes at Bai Pu in annoyance, Xifeng decided to end this absurd conversation. Seeing this, Bai Pu shamelessly leaned over again: "Actually... when we were discussing the best girlfriend candidate, we didn't include you in the discussion at all."

"Why?"

"Because..."

Bai Pu stopped here. He looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then leaned close to Xifeng's ear and whispered: "Because our dormitory unanimously agreed that you're the best wife candidate."

"????????????"

"Young Miss, the person has been thoroughly investigated. How much information does the Young Miss need?"

"Give me everything you have, the more detailed the better."

"Yes."

Quietly waiting for the file transfer to complete, Bei Yaoyue opened the document and began reading word by word.

"Liu Yangwei, male, 32 years old, Chairman of Crescent Yangwei Liwang Technology Co., Ltd..."

Silently reciting Liu Yangwei's personal information, Bei Yaoyue's gaze grew increasingly cold, until finally it was as cold as solid ice.

"So you are..." A cold smile slowly curved at the corner of Bei Yaoyue's mouth. "Perfect, I can settle both old and new accounts together."
