Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 140 : Confiscating the Weapon

"Wow... the way you put it, I'm starting to not want to go to university anymore." Yingwu's expression instantly turned into a bitter gourd face as she slumped powerlessly onto the table. "I finally made it through high school, thinking I could indulge freely in university..."

"Actually, university is strict entry but lenient exit. If your goal is simply to graduate, you probably only need to attend classes and listen, and you can play however you want the rest of the time. But when it comes to finding a job later... you might encounter some trouble."

He Pingge had always been someone who looked far ahead, so she had already gathered information from various sources about many things she might need to pay attention to in her future life. Being prepared for a rainy day was never harmful.

"Ugh, forget it, forget it. We just finished the college entrance exam today, why discuss such annoying topics? Come on, let's order food first. Here, the menu."

He Pingge took the menu, and the two discussed and finished ordering, then began chatting about various random topics.

"Speaking of which, I've been reading a pretty good novel these past few days. I'd like to recommend it to you."

"A novel?" He Pingge turned her head slightly, saying with some surprise: "During the college entrance exam period, you actually had the mood to read novels?"

She would sit at her desk and start doing problems the moment she got home, not wanting to waste a single minute.

"Stop scolding me, stop scolding me. I'm just a terrible student who's muddled through three years—what difference would one or two more days make?" Yingwu pouted and swiped around on her phone screen. "What was that book called... oh right, 'Because of My Recklessness, I Became My Sister's Plaything,' on Carrot Bun Light Novels. It was featured for the first time these past few days and has already shot up to third place on the popularity rankings."

Such a straightforward title made He Pingge somewhat embarrassed. It didn't sound like any proper book, but since it was Yingwu's recommendation, she decided to learn more about it: "What genre is it?"

"Yuri, transformation, reverse-push, slice of life—these are the tags the author added. Though this plot can hardly be called 'slice of life.' I think 'daily life' would be more accurate."

"Yuri? You actually read yuri fiction?"

"I'm an omnivore, you know that. As long as it's not too bizarre, I'll read anything."

"I know that, but yuri..." He Pingge didn't know how to continue.

Perhaps because she herself was homosexual, in her understanding, most girls with normal sexual orientation wouldn't actively seek out yuri content, just like almost no straight boys liked BL.

"I'll take a look."

Saying this, He Pingge dug out the Carrot Bun Light Novels app from her phone, which she hadn't opened in who knows how long. Unsurprisingly, it needed an update.

"Why are you recommending this book to me?" He Pingge asked casually.

"Because... hehe." Yingwu smiled mysteriously without answering.

"Hm? Why? Don't just smile, say something."

The more Yingwu acted this way, the more curious He Pingge became. She always felt like Yingwu's smile was hinting at something.

"Do you really want to hear the reason?"

"Tell me."

"Because... you're a lesbian."

"!?"

Having her deepest secret suddenly exposed, He Pingge's face flushed with embarrassment, then she laughed awkwardly and nodded: "Since you already know, I'll admit it. But how did you figure it out?"

"Come on, we've been classmates for three years. What don't I know about you? I even know what color panties you're wearing today, believe it or not? Today your panties are..."

"...Stop." He Pingge looked around embarrassedly, relieved that no one was eavesdropping on their conversation, or she would have died of shame from such talk.

"And you often stare at your phone wallpaper in a daze, right? I snuck behind you once and took a peek. When I saw the person on your wallpaper, I pretty much guessed."

So that's how it was exposed...

He Pingge laughed helplessly and decided to get anti-peeping tempered glass for her phone once she started university.

"I've always wanted to ask—is that the girl you have a crush on?"

"...Mm."

After brief contemplation, He Pingge nodded. Calling it a crush was absolutely correct—she had never told Xifeng any of her thoughts. To put it harshly, it could even be summarized as unrequited love.

"Is she from our school?" Yingwu tried hard to recall the girl she had seen on He Pingge's screen last time. "But I don't think our school has such a cute girl?"

"She's my childhood friend. She's studying in another city now, so I plan to go to university in the city where she's studying."

"Wow, you care so much about her. She must be moved by you, right?"

"..."

He Pingge couldn't understand why almost everyone had to inadvertently give her another stab.

In fact, the distance between her and Xifeng... could truly be described as being so close yet so far apart.

"Come in."

The bedroom door opened. Bei Yaoyue put down her stylus, turned to look at the white-haired girl with a strange expression, and asked: "What is it?"

"Bai He just called me. She said the seven-day deadline passed and Brother Liu didn't come looking for her, then she thanked me profusely..." Xifeng put her hands behind her back and kept tapping the ground with her toes. "But I didn't do anything, so you did end up helping, didn't you?"

After a moment of silence, Bei Yaoyue sneered: "Don't overthink it. I have no interest in listening to you and helping Bai He. I just happened to have some personal grudges with that person."

After saying this, Bei Yaoyue felt something was off. She thought about it carefully—wasn't this standard tsundere dialogue!?

Was being tsundere contagious? When had she been infected by Xifeng!?

"You have personal grudges with Brother Liu too?" Xifeng covered her mouth in surprise. The world seemed a bit too small. "What kind of personal grudges?"

"A small matter." Bei Yaoyue waved her hand. "Just when I was young and hadn't made a name for myself in art yet, I cooperated with their company. Being young and not understanding the rules, I didn't even sign a contract and was cheated out of a considerable sum by that person."

It really wasn't a large amount—just five figures—but for Bei Yaoyue, who was just starting out at the time, it was already a huge sum. Because of this, she had always remembered the incident vividly and held a grudge.

"Oh... so what did you do to Brother Liu?"

"Nothing much, just warned him not to harass Bai He anymore."

When Bei Yaoyue said this, she didn't even notice that her logic was completely contradictory. If she had gone after Brother Liu for her own personal grudges, why would she warn Brother Liu not to harass Bai He?

Xifeng naturally noticed this point, but she just smiled and didn't expose Bei Yaoyue, deciding to leave her some face.

"That's all?"

"...Of course." Bei Yaoyue said softly. She wouldn't tell Xifeng that Liu Yangwei could never commit such crimes again for the rest of his life.

Because his weapon had been confiscated by people she hired.
