Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 185 : With This Life, I Shall Stand by Your Side

This matter was more or less settled. The two would borrow startup funds from Bei Yaoluo and use the entire summer vacation to plan a large-scale online game.

This actually sounded somewhat absurd—two fifteen-year-old girls had decided on a large-scale project worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea...

But both believed that with Xifeng's gaming experience, Bei Yaoyue's business acumen, and Bei Yaoluo's financial support, working together, they would definitely achieve success in the end.

However, Rome wasn't built in a day, and such major undertakings naturally couldn't be finalized in just a day or two. Bei Yaoyue returned to the computer to continue her artwork, and Xifeng sat back on the bed and picked up her phone, only to discover that both her QQ and Bilibili private messages had been completely flooded.

"[Best Big Brother] Hei Xia Chuixue: @The lowest status in the group Xiyue Something big happened, you need to deal with it quickly."

"Are the two people in the photo really you and Teacher Hana ni Kaze? Portal: ..."

"Miss Xiyue, you're so beautiful, I want to have your babies!"

Almost all the private messages were like this. Xifeng frowned, feeling that things weren't simple. She randomly clicked on a portal link sent by a fan and was immediately shocked.

That photo... was the one taken when Bei Yaoyue kissed her at Disney Land!

What really made Xifeng's heart turn cold was that both their faces were clearly visible in the photo. If someone with ulterior motives wanted to, they could easily investigate their identities. After all, as the daughter of Bei Yaoluo, who occupied a place on the Forbes Rich List, Bei Yaoyue could hardly be called unknown. People in Bei Yaoluo's social circle had more or less heard of or seen her.

Anyone with eyes who compared the people in this photo with the selfie Xifeng had posted earlier could see that these were absolutely photos of the same people. This was irrefutable, absolutely inexplicable evidence.

Feeling somewhat panicked, Xifeng immediately reported the post for violating portrait rights and privacy rights. Perhaps because Xifeng was also a million-level uploader, Bilibili's moderation committee moved quite quickly. In less than two minutes, that post had vanished without a trace.

But it was too late to mend the fold after the sheep had escaped. Even though the post was gone, the photo had already been saved by people early on. Some fans kept privately messaging Xifeng with the photo asking questions, making her extremely irritated. But she knew most fans meant no harm and were only asking out of curiosity because they liked her, so she could only respond with silence.

As one of the parties involved, such a big commotion naturally couldn't escape Bei Yaoyue's notice. She briefly browsed the private messages from her fans and had already roughly understood the course of events.

Bei Yaoyue turned to look and saw that Xifeng's already pale cheeks had become even more ashen, her lips nearly bloodless, with panic and confusion clearly visible in her eyes.

Compared to Xifeng, Bei Yaoyue was much calmer. She asked softly, "Are you very afraid?"

"Of course!" Xifeng shouted somewhat excitedly. "The photo has been released, our identities will be exposed soon!"

Actually, what Xifeng feared wasn't becoming a public figure, but... their relationship being exposed.

Fourteen and fifteen years old were already on the edge of early romance that everyone condemned, and both being girls would undoubtedly receive massive criticism from conservative viewpoints. Even worse was that the two were sisters—worldly ethics would bring huge negative impacts to them both.

Xifeng had worried about their future more than once. These difficult-to-solve problems hung over her heart like a sword, making her terrified whenever she thought about them.

The accumulated stress had finally erupted suddenly with fierce momentum, completely disrupting Xifeng's composure.

Just as Xifeng was bowing her head in regret over why she had posted that selfie for no reason, a delicate, pale little hand gently grasped hers, with tender fingertips gently exploring her palm.

The slightly ticklish sensation made Xifeng feel somewhat uncomfortable, but she didn't pull away. Instead, she slowly raised her head to see Bei Yaoyue's doting smile, sweet as watermelon shaved ice.

"Trust me, okay?" Bei Yaoyue smiled gently and softly. "I'll handle this matter properly."

Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Mm."

If she couldn't even trust Bei Yaoyue, who else could she trust?

She saw Bei Yaoyue looking down at her phone, operating something. Soon Xifeng's notification center received an @ notification. She quickly clicked it open, but the content of the post left her completely stunned.

"Moon Has Dark Clouds Flowers Have Wind: @Ichinose Xiyue Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will always stand in front of you and protect you. —Your loving sister, Bei Yaoyue."

Below the post was a photo... strictly speaking, half a photo. In the image was Bei Yaoyue's intoxicating profile as she pouted her little lips, apparently kissing someone, but it was cut off cleanly at the mouth area. Obviously this wasn't a complete photo—the other half definitely had someone else.

While Xifeng stared at this post in a daze, Bei Yaoyue said with a smile beside her: "This is a hurdle we can never escape. To untie the bell, one must be the person who tied it. The only ones who can solve this problem are ourselves.

"If something done in secret is exposed by others, that's called scandal. But if we take the initiative to reveal it ourselves... that's called courage."

"..."

Speechless, Xifeng silently looked at the post Bei Yaoyue had just made. The comments and likes below were rapidly increasing.

Your loving sister... Bei Yaoyue...

Just eight short words, yet they completely revealed both their relationship and identities, with no more concealment.

With this post, their relationship was completely clarified, saving some people the trouble of working hard to dig up their identities, while also completely cutting off their escape route.

After a long while, Xifeng let out a soft laugh and sighed somewhat helplessly.

Fearless and moving forward courageously—that was indeed Bei Yaoyue's character, unlike herself who was timid and worried about everything all day.

Things had come to this point. What was there left for her to worry about? Since they had already burned their bridges, all she could do was...

Xifeng picked up her phone, found a photo she had always treasured in her album, and cropped it.

"Ichinose Xiyue: @Moon Has Dark Clouds Flowers Have Wind With this life, I shall stand by your side. —Your loving sister, Bei Yaofeng."

Below was also attached a photo. In the image was Xifeng's profile, also in a kissing pose, just in the opposite direction from Bei Yaoyue's earlier photo, also cut off at the mouth area.

Putting the two photos together would form one complete picture.
