Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 141 : Depth

"Really?" Xifeng looked at Bei Yaoyue with suspicion, clearly not believing her explanation.

Although Xifeng didn't know what kind of person Brother Liu was, judging from his unscrupulous behavior, he must be someone with status and influence. How could such a person be easily intimidated?

"Really, when have I ever lied to you?"

Saying this, Bei Yaoyue raised her head and fearlessly met Xifeng's gaze. Their eyes met, and Xifeng read fearlessness and innocence in those water-colored eyes, without any of the guilt and panic that would be present when lying.

...Was it true?

Although Bei Yaoyue had deceived Xifeng many times before, Xifeng could more or less detect some clues each time she lied. Only this time, Bei Yaoyue's eyes were so clear they didn't contain a trace of impurity, completely unlike someone who was lying.

"Fine, I'll trust you this once." Xifeng pouted and didn't continue pressing the matter.

Even if it really was as Bei Yaoyue said—just warning the other party not to contact Bai He anymore—it definitely wouldn't be as understated as Bei Yaoyue made it sound.

To make someone like Brother Liu not dare act rashly would certainly require paying no small price. The foreseeable cost would be—lots of money gone, though she didn't know whether it was the Bei family's money or Bei Yaoyue's.

If it was Bei Yaoyue's money... she actually felt a bit sorry about it.

Seeing that Xifeng believed her explanation, Bei Yaoyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help feeling somewhat proud.

It seemed her studies these days hadn't been in vain—this was undoubtedly good news.

To make up for her shortcomings and disadvantages in social aspects, Bei Yaoyue had been spending all her spare time outside of drawing to study books on social interaction and psychology, almost reaching the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.

Fortunately, Bei Yaoyue had high IQ but low EQ, and EQ could still be improved through methods. Otherwise... it would be hard to describe.

Speaking of which, Liu Yangwei's complete silence was something Bei Yaoyue never expected.

What she had done was actually quite simple—she borrowed Bei Yaochen's connections that worked both sides of the law to secretly hire a group of people to drag Liu Yangwei away and forcibly confiscate his weapon, then warn him not to harass innocent people anymore, especially Bai He, or the next punishment would only be more severe.

She had originally thought Liu Yangwei would retaliate against Bai He in fury, so she deliberately kept a watchful eye and hired a group of thugs to secretly guard near Bai He's home. If anything happened, they would immediately step in to stop it, and if one person couldn't handle it, they would immediately call the police.

As it turned out, Bei Yaoyue had overthought things. It seemed that person who could no longer function had been scared out of his wits and didn't even dare make a sound.

How pitiful.

Bei Yaoyue thought this way, but she felt Liu Yangwei completely deserved it. Having done countless evil deeds and received appropriate punishment, who else could he blame?

If she hadn't been merciful, what she might have taken wouldn't have been Liu Yangwei's weapon, but his life.

Without exaggeration, with the Bei family's methods, covering up a murder that happened in secret would just be a matter of moving a finger.

Bei Yaoyue didn't want Xifeng to know any of this.

The reason was simple—she felt Xifeng was a treasure given to her by heaven, the most perfect and sacred angel in the world.

Since she was an angel, she should naturally stay in the sacred heaven and not be tainted by the filth and impurities of the mortal world. All these dirty deeds and sins committed should be borne by her alone.

"Speaking of which, I hired a bodyguard for you. They should arrive next week."

"A bodyguard?" Xifeng sat on the edge of Bei Yaoyue's bed, leaned back, supported herself with both hands on the bed, and crossed her legs. "What do I need that for?"

"Bai He's situation reminded me that we're not living in a completely safe society."

Bei Yaoyue controlled her swivel chair to turn toward Xifeng, her gaze looking down at the area under Xifeng's skirt that was lifted by her crossed legs.

Blue and white stripes today—not like Xifeng's style at all, but... very cute.

Noticing Bei Yaoyue's ill-intentioned gaze, Xifeng looked down, then pressed down her skirt with a red face and shouted: "What are you looking at! Pervert!"

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Laughing out loud as if amused, Bei Yaoyue let out a light snort and said teasingly: "I know your depth inside and out."

"Ahhhh shut up!"

Stimulated by Bei Yaoyue's extremely perverted words, Xifeng jumped up in embarrassment. She grabbed a pillow from the bed and forcefully smashed it down on Bei Yaoyue's head, shouting while hitting: "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!..."

A pillow as a weapon really had no lethality. Xifeng's embarrassed and angry behavior made Bei Yaoyue unable to suppress her laughter.

She protected her head with one arm while the other hand reached toward Xifeng's lower abdomen, extending her index finger to lightly touch her belly, smiling: "If you keep hitting me, I'll make you understand what regret means."

Her body stiffened. With her weakness grasped, Xifeng angrily exhaled twice, threw the pillow at Bei Yaoyue's face, and sat back down on the bed in a huff.

Although she was unwilling, if Bei Yaoyue really activated that tattoo... Good lord, in broad daylight, she didn't want to be stuck in bed unable to get up.

Actually, what Bei Yaoyue said wasn't too problematic. There had even been several times when, if Bei Yaoyue had applied just a little more force, she might have had to say goodbye completely to her pure self.

...Though she probably couldn't be considered pure anymore anyway.

"Let's get back to our previous topic."

Bei Yaoyue casually placed the pillow on the computer desk but accidentally pressed the keyboard. Suddenly her computer screen began flashing wildly like it was malfunctioning. She frowned and threw the pillow back onto the bed.

"I think hiring a bodyguard for you is still very necessary."

"I don't want one." Xifeng was still angry about earlier. She turned her head away with a tsundere expression. "Having a follower tailing me every day would be annoying just thinking about it."

"I'm thinking of your safety. If you go out alone someday and encounter someone like Brother Liu, what would you do? Could you escape?"

"I could have you deal with them."

Saying this, Xifeng grinned. With such a ready-made tool person available, why not use them?

This comment made Bei Yaoyue's brow furrow deeply. She said in a heavy tone: "I can deal with them, but... you would have already been hurt. Don't you understand that? Would my dealing with them afterward restore the harm done to you?"

This made Xifeng's smile freeze and slowly disappear from her face.

What Bei Yaoyue said seemed reasonable—that would just be hindsight and couldn't change what had already happened.

But... if there really was someone following her around every day, watching everything she did, just thinking about it gave Xifeng a headache.

And with a bodyguard, how would her classmates view her?
