Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 217 : Reading

"However, there's one thing I find very strange, and I hope you can honestly tell me the answer." Bei Yaoyue asked her.

"Hm? What is it? Go ahead and ask."

"How did you meet that woman called Ye Jiancheng?" Bei Yaoyue's tone was flat. "She's in her twenties and about to graduate from college and enter the workforce. There's no reason she would know a little vampire who popped out of a crack in a rock like you, right?"

"......" Xifeng laughed helplessly. This was a question that completely touched her knowledge blind spot. If she didn't have to hide it from Bei Yaoyue, she really wanted to answer "What a coincidence, I don't know either."

She couldn't very well answer truthfully and say they were college classmates, right? Wouldn't that completely mess everything up?

Moreover, in Ye Jiancheng's memory, whether she was still Ye Jiancheng's classmate was still debatable.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Is this question that difficult to answer?"

Yes... How would I know what Ye Jiancheng's perception of me is right now...

Xifeng thought helplessly. In a situation where only she in the entire world had experienced a seven-year time reversal, there would inevitably be some unexplainable bugs. She felt these questions could probably only be completely clarified by asking Lillian. Asking her more would be pointless—she wanted to figure out this problem more than anyone.

After all, if she didn't know the unified solution to this problem, things would only become more troublesome later.

"Speaking of which, don't you still need a writer? I'll go help you look around to see if there are any good candidates. If I find someone, I'll notify you immediately." Unable to answer, Xifeng could only forcibly change the subject. Her heart was truly on the verge of tears—she didn't want to hide any secrets from Bei Yaoyue, but this kind of thing that could destroy a person's understanding of reality, she really couldn't tell the truth about, not even to Bei Yaoyue.

After speaking, Xifeng steeled herself and directly hung up the phone. At most Bei Yaoyue would just suspect she was attracting admirers outside. She had nothing to hide, so what was there to fear?

After carefully searching through all the people she knew in her memory, Xifeng really found someone who might be able to serve as a writer—Bai He. She remembered that Bai He had previously told her she was writing yuri novels, something called... "Because of My Recklessness, I Became My Sister's Plaything."

Entering the title into Google search, Xifeng quickly found the platform where this book was published—Carrot Bun Light Novels, and easily discovered a book with this name on the rankings.

"It's already on the rankings, looks like it's well-written." Xifeng couldn't help but genuinely admire it. A platform would have thousands if not tens of thousands of books published simultaneously. To stand out among so many books and make it onto the rankings, Bai He definitely had real skill.

"Gender-bender yuri?"

Seeing this tag, an indescribable sense of incongruity spread from the bottom of Xifeng's heart. Wasn't this exactly the label that should be attached to her current situation?

With curiosity, Xifeng threw herself onto the bed, lazily nestling into the depression in the bed, and clicked on the first chapter of the novel—the prologue.

"Ruo Shou...? This protagonist's name is really unique." Xifeng couldn't help but complain to herself.

After reading through the entire prologue, her expression immediately became strange. Why did she feel that... this protagonist's experience of being turned into a girl... was eighty percent similar to her real experience?

As Xifeng continued reading deeper, the sense of horror and strangeness in her heart grew increasingly intense. This Nan Qinyue and Nan Qinfeng were too much like her and Bei Yaoyue, right? It was as if they were characters created based on the two of them, even their names...

Bei Yaoyue, Nan Qinyue, Bei Yaofeng, Nan Qinfeng...

No one would believe there was no connection.

The relationship setting between the two made Xifeng suspect that Bai He had installed hidden pinhole cameras in their home, or that Bai He was the incarnation of that demon Lillian. She felt like Bai He was just like an omniscient and omnipotent Kamisama, watching everything in her life from the sky.

But thinking was just thinking—Xifeng knew this was completely impossible. The only explanation was that this was an incredible coincidence. The story plot that Bai He had conceived happened to exactly match Xifeng's personal experience.

So Xifeng had to suppress the sense of incongruity and strangeness in her heart that she couldn't let go of, and continue reading further.

Xifeng had to admit that if she set aside these background and character settings that took her out of the story, just from the plot and writing perspective, this was indeed a rare and excellent gender-bender yuri novel. Bai He used excellent and delicate writing to vividly depict Nan Qinfeng's helplessness, weakness, and the fear and confusion in her heart, easily arousing a strong protective desire in people, making them want to hold her in their arms and cherish her carefully. At the same time, she also vividly presented Nan Qinyue's dominance, toughness, and that pathological love to the audience, easily satisfying the psychological needs of certain people with special preferences.

The market wouldn't lie. Books that could rush onto the rankings naturally couldn't have any mediocre works mixed in. Before she knew it, Xifeng had been reading with fascination for two hours. Seeing that it was about time to make dinner for Bei Yaoyue, she reluctantly put down her phone, hesitated for a moment, then picked up her phone again and added this book to her bookshelf.

Good book, good book, go stay in my favorites.

For some reason, when seeing Nan Qinfeng being forcefully ravaged by Nan Qinyue, Xifeng actually felt a sense of superiority called schadenfreude in her heart. It was probably like... a poor person who could barely make ends meet seeing someone even more destitute than themselves, producing a sense of superiority that "I'm richer than you."

No matter how bad things got, at least Xifeng and Bei Yaoyue were in a romantic relationship, while Nan Qinfeng in the book was much worse off than Xifeng. As the title said, she really was just a plaything, a plaything forced to endure Nan Qinyue's pathological love in pain.

"I read your novel, it's quite well written." After sending this message to Bai He, Xifeng threw her phone beside her pillow, rolled over like a salted fish to the edge of the bed, put on her shoes, got out of bed, and ran toward the kitchen.

At this time, far away on the other side, Bai He, who was sitting in front of her computer racking her brains over today's plot, heard QQ's notification sound. She clicked it open, read the message from Bei Yaofeng, and her expression immediately changed.

When she had let something slip to Bei Yaofeng, she knew this day would come sooner or later. She was also clear in her heart that Bei Yaofeng would definitely notice something, since she had indeed almost directly used the two of them as protagonists.

"Bei Yaofeng... I hope you won't hate me..." Bai He murmured silently. All she could do was pray in her heart.
