Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 178 : Warm Silken Curtains

Everyone knows that the early bird catches the worm, but this maxim seemed to have no effect on Bei Yaoyue and Xifeng. The sun was already high in the sky, well past nine o'clock, yet the two on the bed were still tangled together like two messy ropes, fast asleep.

As for why neither of them had naturally awakened by now... who knows? Perhaps it was because they were overly exhausted last night.

The blanket had long been kicked off the bed by someone with poor sleeping habits. The current scene could be perfectly described as "jade bodies sprawled across the bed"—just a single stolen glance would be enough to make one's blood boil and even lose their reason.

Though it was summer, as everyone knows, sleeping under a thick blanket with the air conditioning at ten-something degrees is several times more comfortable than sleeping under just a thin blanket with the air conditioning at twenty-something degrees. Because of this, the two, practically in their natural state, were exposed naked to the whooshing cold air.

Xifeng was the first to be awakened by the cold. Her drowsy consciousness, still hazy from sleep, instantly became clear due to the temperature of only ten-something degrees. She couldn't help but shiver involuntarily. Fortunately, the two were huddled together for warmth at the moment, providing each other with body heat, or they would have caught cold long ago.

Moving as carefully as possible to avoid waking Bei Yaoyue, Xifeng slowly shifted away and looked at the sleeping person beside her with a dejected expression, her heart full of confusion.

She should be the one exhausted to collapse, right? Why was Bei Yaoyue sleeping more soundly than her?

Picking up the air conditioning remote to raise the temperature by a few degrees, Xifeng then retrieved the blanket from the floor and draped it over Bei Yaoyue.

"Hah... hah..."

With her eyes tightly closed, Bei Yaoyue's eyelashes, as light and delicate as cicada wings, appeared particularly prominent. Her exquisite little nostrils moved slightly with her breathing, adorning that lovely face that was naturally beautiful enough to make one drool without any makeup, causing Xifeng to unconsciously swallow.

Having spent so much time with Bei Yaoyue, Xifeng rarely had the opportunity to observe Bei Yaoyue so closely. Upon careful examination, she increasingly felt that Bei Yaoyue was truly naturally beautiful. If she had been born in imperial times, she would definitely be the kind of femme fatale who could topple kingdoms with just a frown or smile.

Looking at Bei Yaoyue's slightly parted, rosy lips, Xifeng felt her heart skip a beat. She hesitated for a moment, then slowly leaned down, approaching Bei Yaoyue's face as cautiously as a thief.

"Knock knock knock."

Suddenly, an unexpected knocking at the door scared Xifeng, who was doing something "guilty," causing her to jump up directly. Her little heart lurched violently as she looked at Bei Yaoyue, who had been awakened by the knocking and was slowly coming to consciousness, her face flushed pink. She shouted angrily toward the door: "Who is it!"

Damn it, how dare you ruin my good moment! Just wait until I give you a proper scolding!

"It's me, open the door."

Oh, it's Sister Luo. Never mind then.

"Coming, coming."

After giving Bei Yaoyue a change of clothes, Xifeng simply threw on the white T-shirt that Bei Yaoyue had changed out of yesterday and ran barefoot to open the door, her feet making "tap tap" sounds on the tile floor.

The moment the door opened, Bei Yaoluo stretched out her hand to hold it open, then poked her head inside to look around, exactly like some perverted voyeur.

But... Bei Yaoluo was doing this right in front of Xifeng, so it definitely couldn't be considered "voyeurism."

Inside, Bei Yaoyue was changing clothes. Not seeing the scene she wanted to see, Bei Yaoluo was slightly disappointed, but Xifeng's current outfit still made her feel the trip was worthwhile—the petite body hidden under a T-shirt clearly two sizes too large created a visually striking contrast that was incredibly adorable. The hem of the T-shirt reached mid-thigh, completely concealing the girl's inviolable mysterious region. The oversized neckline caused the T-shirt to tilt to one side, half-exposing a shoulder as white and tender as precious jade, completely inviting criminal thoughts.

"What are you doing?" Xifeng looked at Bei Yaoluo with a strange expression. This perverted behavior—if Bei Yaoluo's personality were even slightly different, Xifeng would definitely call the police on the spot.

"Trying to catch adultery." With a cheeky smile, Bei Yaoluo said straightforwardly, "Too bad I seem to be too late."

They were already getting dressed, so it must have been afterward.

It wasn't really because Bei Yaoluo's mind was full of dirty thoughts, but rather because Xifeng and Bei Yaoyue still weren't up when it was almost noon—what else could two people be doing together?

Xifeng, whose secret thoughts had been hit right on target, immediately felt guilty, and even her voice lacked confidence: "What... what catching adultery? What kind of talk is that?"

Of course, what Xifeng felt guilty about was the attempted kiss, definitely not what Bei Yaoluo was thinking.

But Bei Yaoluo didn't care about any of that. Seeing Xifeng so guilty, she looked at Xifeng with a smile and said nothing more, opening the door and walking in.

While buttoning her shirt, Bei Yaoyue glanced at Bei Yaoluo and asked indifferently, "Why did you come?"

"Little sister, it's already eleven o'clock and you two still aren't up. Are you planning to sleep straight until lunch?" Bei Yaoluo laughed and sighed. "Skipping breakfast is bad for your health. How did you two at such a young age not learn good habits but learn to skip breakfast?"

They say the eldest sister is like a mother. Now that several of them were living independently, Bei Yaoluo naturally had to take on the responsibility of being a mother, which of course included—nagging.

Xifeng, who was usually the one being nagged by Bei Yaoyue, couldn't help but secretly laugh in her heart upon seeing this scene—Bei Yaoyue, oh Bei Yaoyue, you have your day too! But she didn't realize at all that she was also included among those Bei Yaoluo was nagging.

"Because it's vacation... Hah~~"

Halfway through speaking, Bei Yaoyue even yawned, showing Bei Yaoluo just how sleepy she currently was.

During school, Bei Yaoyue was incredibly punctual. Every morning at exactly 7 o'clock she would wake Xifeng up, more reliable than an alarm clock. But once it was a holiday, she seemed like a completely different person, instantly transforming from an early-to-bed, early-to-rise wellness master into a 21st-century youth who slept until lunch time. The difference was so great it was like she wasn't the same person at all.

Of course, what Xifeng didn't know was that she herself was partly responsible for this. Wasn't there a poem that went something like:

"Cloud-like hair and flower-like face with golden ornaments, warm silken curtains spending the spring night. Spring nights are short and the sun rises high, from then on the emperor no longer held early court."

Normally, considering they had to attend classes the next day, Bei Yaoyue would naturally exercise restraint. But once it was a holiday...

They could sleep until whatever time the next day, so why not do whatever they wanted?

Looking at her two sisters with some exasperation, Bei Yaoluo asked, "Have Su Weiai and He Pingge contacted you again?"

"No."

"Call and ask them. Wasn't our original plan to go to the beach today?"

Pulling up the zipper of her skirt, Bei Yaoyue nodded, "Alright."
