Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 171 : Opportunity

If one were to find the person in this world who could most empathize with He Pingge at this moment, it would definitely be Su Weiai. She had also once fallen in love with a girl, and ultimately missed her chance with her beloved due to another person's intervention.

The two of them were so similar—they had strikingly similar experiences, both possessed energetic and cheerful personalities, and both liked to bury their troubles in their hearts while showing their most sunny side to others.

Even when their hearts were shattered beyond recognition, they would still try hard to show smiles to the person they liked, just to avoid making that person sad.

Therefore, when seeing He Pingge's dejected departing figure, Su Weiai seemed to see herself. It was a resonance from the deepest part of her heart, so after only very brief hesitation, she chose to chase after He Pingge and let her cry loudly in her embrace.

Because she had experienced it, she understood what He Pingge needed at this moment. Actually, it was quite simple—someone to confide in, and a shoulder to lean on. That was all.

Su Weiai was a girl with great empathy. Listening to He Pingge's crying in her arms, she couldn't help but recall that day again—the first and last time she had opened her heart to Bei Yaoyue.

That night, she had covered herself under the blanket alone, resisting the urge to cry countless times, because she had sworn since childhood to be a strong girl.

Endurance was undoubtedly painful, especially when the heartache was suffocating. That night, although she didn't shed a single tear, she also didn't sleep at all.

"Wuu wuu wuu wuu......"

Perhaps having said everything she could say, He Pingge was left with only sobbing sounds. Large tears had soaked Su Weiai's white T-shirt transparent. She sighed slightly, took out her phone, and called Bei Yaoyue.

"Hello?"

Bei Yaoyue's voice came from the other end of the phone. Su Weiai was momentarily speechless—the words she had already organized couldn't come out. In the silent air, only He Pingge was softly sobbing.

"......Are you with He Pingge?"

Naturally hearing the obvious crying sounds, Bei Yaoyue asked her.

"Mm." Su Weiai nodded. She looked down at the girl in her arms who had cried herself into a tearful mess and said: "You four should go back first."

"What about you two?"

The wet feeling on her chest made Su Weiai shift her body slightly in discomfort. She said into the phone: "I'll take her somewhere else to stay the night. I don't think it's appropriate for you to meet tonight."

"Should I have Sister Luo take you to find a hotel? It's getting late, and it's dangerous for you two to be alone outside."

"It's fine. Bad people aren't as common as you think." Su Weiai smiled faintly. Although she knew Bei Yaoyue was only concerned about her as a friend, it still made her show a genuine smile from the heart. Being cared for by Bei Yaoyue... really felt good.

She was just such an easily satisfied girl.

"......Alright then, be careful on the road. Call the police immediately if anything happens."

"Mm mm, I know. You guys go back. I'll stay here with her for a while."

After hanging up, Bei Yaoyue stood up from her chair and said to Bei Yaoluo: "Let's go back. Su Weiai is with He Pingge. They're going to stay somewhere else tonight."

Inadvertently, Bei Yaoyue caught sight of Xifeng's dejected, extremely heartbroken expression, and her mood immediately sank. She reached out her small hand to gently pat Xifeng's shoulder and said: "Let's go, let's go home."

"Mm......" Xifeng nodded with dim eyes and got up to follow Bei Yaoyue to the car.

Because she and Bei Yaoyue were so close, He Pingge's crying sounds from the phone reached Xifeng's ears completely without omission, making her heart feel like it was being slowly tortured, cut piece by piece.

He Pingge was Xifeng's best friend. When He Pingge was heartbroken, she naturally wouldn't feel good either, but... she really couldn't respond to He Pingge's feelings.

Although she didn't want to let He Pingge down, she couldn't let Bei Yaoyue down even more. Clearly rejecting He Pingge could only be said to be a helpless solution.

But this was for the better. Clarifying things early could also let He Pingge recognize reality sooner from this impossible romance and cut her losses in time, no longer doing useless work.

The four rode back to their lodging hotel in silence. Xifeng flopped onto the bed, placed the blanket under her chest, and stared blankly at the white sheets.

"Actually, sometimes I think about a question." Bei Yaoyue sat on the edge of the bed beside Xifeng, supporting herself with both hands behind her and shifting her gaze to the ceiling. "It would be nice if I were a man.

"If I were a man, I could make you happier than you are now, and save you from many meaningless troubles and worries."

Bei Yaoyue said this matter-of-factly, her calm tone making it difficult to guess what kind of mood she was in when saying this.

Xifeng, who had originally looked heartbroken, was directly amused by such a random statement. She snorted with laughter and turned back to glare at Bei Yaoyue irritably: "What strange things are you saying? If you were a man, I wouldn't have liked you from the beginning."

She wasn't into guys. She couldn't imagine what kind of mental trials she would endure if Bei Yaoyue were a man.

"Really?" Counting the grid patterns on the ceiling, Bei Yaoyue didn't turn back. "Is gender really that important? Do you like me as a person? Or do you like my body?"

"......" After thinking for a while, Xifeng chose to refuse to answer such a deadly question. "I suspect you're trying to make things difficult for me, Xifeng."

But actually... she didn't know the answer in her heart either. She really had difficulty imagining whether, if Bei Yaoyue had been a man from the beginning, she would repeat the same mistakes and gradually fall in love as she had now.

"......"

Bei Yaoyue silently gazed at the ceiling, strange light flowing in her clear sea-colored eyes.

No one knew how long He Pingge cried exactly. She cried until her throat was almost hoarse before finally getting tired of crying and slowly stopping, becoming quiet.

Much of the depression in her heart had dissipated. Having regained some rationality, He Pingge wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her blurred vision gradually cleared, and when she saw clearly who she had been relying on all along, her face reddened. She quickly stepped back and said with a voice hoarse from crying but full of apology: "I'm sorry, I dirtied your clothes......"

She hadn't been thinking about anything before, but now that she had calmed down, He Pingge was extremely embarrassed. Not to mention that others had seen her weak side, but just the fact that she had spent half the night crying in the arms of a girl two years younger than her made her feel ashamed.

"It doesn't matter." Su Weiai showed a comforting smile. "I had them go back first. Let's find another hotel to stay at tonight."
