Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 174 : Because of Love

This sentence was absolutely not Xifeng's false words spoken to please Bei Yaoyue momentarily, but came completely from the deepest part of her heart.

Admittedly, Xifeng liked He Pingge—this was absolutely true and undeniable—but her feelings for He Pingge were more of a close friend-level fondness rather than the mutual liking between lovers. Her liking for He Pingge didn't even amount to one percent of her feelings for Bei Yaoyue.

Her relationship with He Pingge had its foundation laid when they played and grew up together from a very young age, but... at that age, they couldn't possibly truly understand what love was, and could easily mistake overly sincere friendship for romantic love.

Whether she and He Pingge truly had romantic feelings for each other remained unknown. Perhaps even they themselves couldn't find the answer in a short time.

But undoubtedly, such a sincere confession from the heart made Bei Yaoyue very pleased. A suppressed smile appeared in her eyes as she asked with a light smile: "Then what do you like about me?"

This was a classic question that lovers never tired of asking, and Bei Yaoyue also wanted to know how Xifeng would answer.

"......"

Faced with Bei Yaoyue's question, Xifeng's expression suddenly froze. This question... was really quite difficult to answer, mainly because Bei Yaoyue truly had no praiseworthy qualities.

If Xifeng were asked to name three of Bei Yaoyue's faults within three seconds, she could definitely answer fluently without any hesitation. But if asked to name three of Bei Yaoyue's merits within three seconds... that seemed a bit too demanding.

After thinking for a long time, Xifeng couldn't think of any commendable qualities in Bei Yaoyue. She could only smile awkwardly and say: "Probably... good at undressing people?"

If forced to say, this could probably barely count as a merit, though calling it a fault would also be perfectly fine.

Xifeng's answer left Bei Yaoyue's expression frozen on her face. Although it seemed like Xifeng was praising her, she really couldn't feel happy about such praise. It sounded like Xifeng really had nothing to say and had forcibly found something that couldn't even be considered a merit.

Of course, the reality was indeed as Bei Yaoyue thought. In Xifeng's heart, Bei Yaoyue had absolutely no redeeming qualities, which was inseparable from all the bad things Bei Yaoyue had done when they first met.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Bei Yaoyue blinked and asked gently: "Then why do you like me? There should be a reason for liking someone, right?"

Bei Yaoyue actually had no other meaning—she just wanted to hear some flattering words from Xifeng to satisfy her vanity.

Unable to think of anything praiseworthy to say, Xifeng laughed awkwardly and said irrelevantly: "Because of love."

「"I hope you can understand one thing."

With a smile curving her lips, Nan Qinyue gently pinched Nan Qinfeng's chin, using a playful smile to meet Nan Qinfeng's gaze filled with fear and despair, the fire in her eyes blazing intensely.

"You are my sister, but also my plaything. For your entire life... yes, your entire life, don't even think about escaping from my hands.

"Cry, plead, struggle—the more you want to escape, the happier I'll be. After all... as my toy, you are so interesting and delightful."」

After typing the final period, this chapter was finally finished before the deadline. Bai Pu breathed a sigh of relief, quickly checked the manuscript at the fastest speed, and after confirming it was correct, submitted the chapter to the author backend system.

If one word could describe the development of Bai Pu's novel "Because of My Recklessness, I Became My Sister's Plaything" during this period, it would be... meteoric rise.

Facts proved that perverts were the primary productive force, and among perverts, yuri otaku made up a considerable proportion. Therefore, having grasped the wealth code of yuri + adult content, Bai Pu achieved almost unbelievable stunning results within just two months.

As a new author, she won the bronze award in the writing contest and consecutively secured positions on bestseller lists, popularity lists, collection lists, and monthly ticket lists. Such achievements were enough for Bai Pu to stand proud among her peers for a considerable time. Her income also rose accordingly—on average, she could earn nearly ten thousand yuan per month.

Ten thousand yuan monthly wasn't much in an international metropolis like Crescent City—it was truly a drop in the bucket. But it really wasn't little either, because... previously her entire family's monthly income was less than three thousand yuan. This ten thousand yuan income could definitely be called a huge figure.

Undoubtedly, with just the success of this one book, Bai Pu was slowly walking the path from ordinary author to successful author, racing toward the finish line at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.

But despite such high income and fame, Bai Pu remained gloomy. The reason was quite simple—she was too immersed in her role.

Although the two protagonists of this book, Nan Qinyue and Nan Qinfeng, were based on Bei Yaoyue and Bei Yaofeng, as someone with strange thoughts about Bei Yaofeng, Bai Pu always put herself in Nan Qinyue's position, while Xifeng was naturally the Nan Qinfeng who was always viewed as a plaything by Nan Qinyue.

Being able to satisfy her fantasies while earning a considerable income was undoubtedly killing two birds with one stone. But reality was cruel—a sudden piece of terrible news shattered all her inappropriate fantasies.

As someone involved in the pan-2D circle, Bai Pu had some understanding of various online events, including the widely discussed Xiyue broadcasting accident and coming-out incident.

She had previously watched Xiyue's livestreams and had developed some fondness for this cute "boy" who claimed to be a crossdresser. But during that broadcasting accident, having inadvertently glimpsed Xiyue's silhouette, she almost instantly confirmed that Xiyue was the person she had always had a crush on—Bei Yaofeng.

Those almost iconic silver twin tails—it was impossible for a second person to have them.

Without any evidence, this was what she believed.

Then all subsequent speculation naturally followed logically. The person who appeared prominently as Xiyue's girlfriend, "Moon Has Dark Clouds Flowers Have Wind," was undoubtedly Bei Yaoyue. The two had almost publicly acknowledged their romantic relationship in front of everyone.

So... what did she, who had harbored a crush on Bei Yaofeng for several months, amount to?
