Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 142 : Opened the Door to a New World

"Are you serious?" Xifeng asked. In her understanding, forcibly assigning someone a bodyguard seemed like something that would only happen in those domineering CEO novels, accompanied by lines like "Woman, your first time can only be mine" and "Woman, I only allow you to love me alone."

But honestly, Xifeng felt that many of Bei Yaoyue's actions weren't much different from those clichéd domineering CEOs in novels—for example, stubbornly forcing herself on others.

"Of course I'm serious." Having her good intentions questioned, Bei Yaoyue's expression became slightly displeased. "I've already picked the person and the contract will be signed soon. Dad found them—absolutely reliable."

Xifeng pouted: "But having someone following behind me all the time is really annoying."

At this point, her eyes rolled and she said: "Think about it, if they're always following us around, you won't be able to grope me freely anymore, right?"

Although it was embarrassing to say, Xifeng felt that if she used this point against Bei Yaoyue, it might be somewhat effective.

Unfortunately, Bei Yaoyue's shamelessness exceeded Xifeng's expectations. She said indifferently: "Why wouldn't I dare? Let them see if they see—anyway, I'm the one groping you, so I'm not the one losing face."

"? What the fuck, be a decent person, Bei Yaoyue!"

"I hired a girl, not very old either. You don't need to be so resistant."

"A girl?" This surprised Xifeng somewhat. From Bei Yaoyue's description, it seemed like a young woman under thirty, which was quite different from her image of a bodyguard.

"Even if you're comfortable having a man stick close to you every day, I'm not comfortable with it." Bei Yaoyue said irritably, though she only said half of what she meant—even if it were a woman, she actually wouldn't be comfortable either.

But what could she do about not being comfortable? Xifeng's safety was more important than anything. With Bai He as a cautionary example, considering Xifeng's current identity as Bei Yaochen's adopted daughter, who could say whether someone might have ill intentions toward her? Being extra cautious was never wrong.

"...How old?"

After hearing it was a girl, Xifeng's acceptance of the bodyguard had increased considerably. After all, having a rough man following behind versus having a beautiful girl was completely different.

"Twenty-four."

"That young!?" Xifeng immediately opened her mouth in surprise. This was much younger than she had imagined. She had originally thought Bei Yaoyue's "not very old" meant around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, since they were hiring a bodyguard to ensure personal safety, not some flashy decoration.

"Is... she reliable?" Xifeng couldn't help but ask with an awkward laugh.

As the saying goes, without hair on the lips, work isn't solid. At twenty-four, she had probably just graduated from university and hadn't been in society for long, right?

"You don't need to worry about that. Just know that I care about this more than you do."

This comment made Xifeng purse her lips. The subtext of that sentence seemed to be "I care about you more than you care about yourself"—a strong domineering CEO vibe.

Xifeng even felt that if Bei Yaoyue were Bei Yaochen's son rather than daughter, with such status and personality, she might really become a domineering CEO from some novel.

"I'm really defeated by you." Lowering her head, Xifeng sighed helplessly and temporarily accepted this reality. As long as it didn't interfere too much with her life, she could tolerate it.

Suddenly, a shadow approached Xifeng. Her heart jumped in alarm, and she looked up sharply, only to find that Bei Yaoyue had somehow appeared in front of her and pounced on her like a hungry wolf hunting prey, pushing her down onto the bed.

"What are you doing!?" Xifeng cried out in surprise. Going crazy in broad daylight again?

"Doing it."

"That's settled then, see you next month."

After saying her final farewell, He Pingge pressed the hang-up button, put down her phone, and stretched.

After simply packing some things at home, He Pingge planned to go to Crescent City for two weeks under the pretense of a graduation trip, departing in early July.

Of course, her true intentions weren't about the wine but the mountains and waters.

If things went smoothly, He Pingge also planned to find a long-term job in Crescent City during this summer vacation, allowing her to stay in Crescent City long-term before school started. The money earned from working could be used for living expenses during this period, and it would also be a good opportunity to improve her personal abilities.

The reason was simple—Bei Yaoyue had been so bored at home lately she was about to go stir-crazy, and just wanted to find something to do.

In the past, besides studying, she basically just studied at home. Suddenly being free, she didn't know what to do.

She wasn't particularly fond of playing games, and her social circle wasn't very wide. Her two best friends were both far away in other cities, which led to her staying home all day with nothing to do. Besides occasionally meeting friends for meals and chats, she was left with just playing on her phone and computer at home.

However, He Pingge had recently become obsessed with reading web novels. She had actually read many web novels before, but mostly just to relax after studying, so she read casually without paying much attention.

Only after completely relaxing recently did she have the mind to seriously study a novel, thus opening the door to a new world. The various strange and wonderful stories and colorful worlds in novels filled her with infinite longing.

Her only requirement for novels was that they be yuri—as long as they met this prerequisite, she could get into any book.

The book He Pingge most enjoyed reading during this period was the one Yingwu had recommended to her some time ago—"Because of My Recklessness, I Became My Sister's Plaything."

This book could be said to completely hit He Pingge's preferences. Confinement, training... As a good student in teachers' minds and "someone else's child" in parents' mouths, these were things she wouldn't even dare think about normally. Therefore, when reading this book, she felt an indescribable thrill in her heart, as excited as if she were doing something bad.

In the text, everything Nan Qinyue did to Nan Qinfeng could without exception be described as "beastly." Nan Qinyue treated her sister like a lifeless toy, but sometimes He Pingge couldn't help thinking—if she were Nan Qinyue and Xifeng were Nan Qinfeng...

However, such thoughts were fleeting. Her love for Xifeng was the purest love, not this extremely twisted emotion.

Watching the latest chapters on time had become something He Pingge did every day, but perhaps because the author was quite busy, the work updated extremely slowly—most of the time just one update of 2000 words, occasionally two updates of 4000 words.

But she also understood that writing wasn't easy. Something the author spent two hours painstakingly writing could be read by readers in just three or four minutes. Therefore, although unwilling, she could only patiently wait.
