Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 28 : Everyone Is Drunk But I Alone Am Sober

Figuring the joking had gone far enough, Bei Yaoyue slowly said: "My dad and her dad have business dealings, so we've known each other since we were very young. Before I moved away, we also lived in the same neighborhood and lived together for a long time."

After a pause, Bei Yaoyue added in a flat voice: "Mm, strictly speaking, she's my only friend."

"The way you put it." Xifeng laughed somewhat, "Am I not also your friend?"

Of course you're not.

Bei Yaoyue secretly chuckled in her heart, but she didn't open her mouth to explain. Some things, now was not the time.

Stuffing half a steamed bun into her mouth in one bite, Bei Yaoyue said while chewing: "Su Weiai has an outgoing and proactive personality. No matter who it is, she can quickly become friends with them, so she has many, many friends. I'm just one of the very unremarkable ones."

"Don't be so self-deprecating." Xifeng cast her gaze toward the direction Su Weiai had left, "Since you two grew up together from childhood, your relationship must be much better than ordinary friends. Maybe in her eyes you're the most special one."

"Mm."

Responding lightly, Bei Yaoyue neither agreed nor disagreed, and it was unclear what kind of emotion this "mm" contained.

Bei Yaoyue lived up to her reputation as a conversation killer, using just a simple word to directly kill the topic.

Unable to continue the conversation, Xifeng helplessly rubbed her forehead, then took out her phone. Since she had free time now, she decided to handle something she had decided on last night.

She opened QQ and found her Alexander Ultimate fixed team group.

Considering she would need to work hard for her high school studies starting today, she probably wouldn't have as much energy and free time in the evenings to work in Alexander Ultimate anymore.

Plus, with Bei Yaoyue—as well as Bei Yaochen, Kisaragi Ichika and others added to her life, she needed to spend more time maintaining and developing interpersonal relationships.

So after a night of deep consideration, she decided to give up Alexander Ultimate, quit the fixed team, and focus wholeheartedly on the life before her.

Games were ultimately games, and it wasn't worth letting games affect her life.

"Everyone, I'm very sorry, but due to personal health and academic issues, I now have to quit this team qwq.

"I'm very sorry for causing trouble for everyone _(:з」∠)_. To try not to delay everyone's progress as much as possible, I'll post in LGA's recruitment section later to help everyone find the next summoner as quickly as possible.

"I was very happy working in Alexander Ultimate with everyone this past month ヾ(≧▽≦)〃. Here I wish everyone success in conquering Alexander Ultimate soon and defeating Perfect Alexander."

After sending this message, she thought for a moment, then decisively chose to leave the group directly.

Although doing this might be somewhat unfair to those comrades who had fought together for a month, she was afraid staying would cause complications. Since she was leaving, it was better to be decisive about it.

Having lost the heavy burden of Alexander Ultimate, she immediately felt much lighter spiritually.

To pass the time while waiting for Bei Yaoyue to finish eating, she began browsing Bilibili dynamics. Suddenly, a dynamic shared by He Pingge caught her attention.

It was an all-ages yuri illustration, and she was extremely familiar with the art style—wasn't this Bei Yaoyue's art style?

She quickly clicked on the original poster's profile, named..."Moon Has Dark Clouds Flowers Have Wind."

Mm, it must be Bei Yaoyue without a doubt.

Xifeng shamelessly clicked follow in the upper right corner. To be fair, Bei Yaoyue's art style was indeed impeccably refined, each piece looking pleasing to the eye. Following wouldn't be a loss no matter what.

She browsed Bei Yaoyue's dynamics from newest to oldest, discovering there was almost no content about daily life, mostly all-ages public illustrations—after all, Bilibili was a domestic website, randomly posting R18 content would definitely result in deleted posts and banned accounts.

"Fan group?"

A dynamic promoting a fan group entered Xifeng's sight, though this wasn't anything surprising. It was perfectly normal for Bei Yaoyue as an artist to have several fan groups.

She looked at those numbers, blinked, and pondered whether to sneak in and play around.

After thinking about it, since she had nothing else to do anyway, she decided to go in and take a look.

But she definitely couldn't use her main account to join the group, otherwise Bei Yaoyue would discover her at a glance. That would be as stupid as wearing a Valkyrie uniform to execute an infiltration mission for Anti-Entropy, practically writing "I'm the mole" on her face.

She switched to her alt account that she usually used for gaming and searched by group number.

"Yuri Is the Treasure This World Has Given Us"

When she saw this group name, Xifeng nearly choked on her own saliva. This group name, the vibe was way too strong.

She secretly glanced at Bei Yaoyue sitting across from her quietly eating breakfast, feeling somewhat indignant.

Still saying you're straight? The group name has already exposed everything!

"Whose fan group is this?"

This entry question should just be a freebie to prevent cloud fans or bots from infiltrating the group, with no real difficulty.

She sent "Hana ni Kaze" as the answer, then waited for an admin to approve the application.

"Finished eating, let's go." Bei Yaoyue pulled out a tissue and wiped her mouth.

"How do we get to school? Walk there?" Xifeng asked, feeling that with Bei Yaoyue's personality, she might really choose to walk there, which wasn't the answer she hoped for.

"If you really don't want to walk, then let's take a taxi."

Saying this, Bei Yaoyue took out her phone, opened DiDi rideshare, and somewhat clumsily placed an order.

She basically never went out except for school, so she had no travel needs and rarely used such apps.

"Hm?"

She glimpsed a QQ notification for a group application. The applicant's avatar was a 2D white twin-tailed loli, looking quite adorable.

"Pure Love War God?"

Such a refreshingly unique nickname piqued Bei Yaoyue's interest. She clicked on the applicant's profile and browsed through it.

The signature was "One strike, one netorare," which quite matched the nickname.

"Female, 21 years old, graduated from Crescent University of Technology, currently residing in Crescent City......"

After carefully reading through the profile and confirming it wasn't spam, she approved the group application, then exited QQ.

She almost never participated in group chats. She was only responsible for approving people; chatting was the business of those water spammers.

"@Pure Love War God Welcome newcomer, our big family has gained another member!"

A member named "Nine-Tailed Cat" with the title [I'm Close with Teacher] said, her green hat indicating her noble admin status.

"Newcomer run fast, this group is dangerous!"

This message came from a member named "Stewing Pigeons Tonight."

"Newcomer run fast, this group is dangerous!"

The person named "Low-Quality Repeater" summoned the sacred "+1," and the scene instantly lost control as countless people repeated the essence of humanity.

"Newbie trembles in fear."

After clicking send, Xifeng felt somewhat emotional. Indeed, silly netizens are a family everywhere—no matter which group, the silly group members are all the same.

Nine-Tailed Cat: "Stop repeating, don't scare the newcomer."

Pure Love War God: "It's okay, it's okay. By the way, is the group owner Teacher Hana ni Kaze?"

Nine-Tailed Cat: "Yes, are you looking to commission work from the teacher?"

Pure Love War God: "Ah no, I just want to understand the teacher's situation."

Stewing Pigeons Tonight: "Then you've found the right person. No one in this group knows the teacher better than me. Let me tell you, according to reliable sources, the teacher is a female college student, and she's a super beautiful girl."

Melon Eater: "Are the peaches tasty?"

Low-Quality Repeater: "Are the peaches tasty?"

Stewing Pigeons Tonight: "How did it become about eating peaches?"

Low-Quality Repeater: "How did it become about eating peaches?"

Melon Eater: "Though I don't want to discourage you, in my opinion, the teacher must also be a dead otaku. After all, only dead otaku understand dead otaku, otherwise the teacher couldn't possibly draw such soul-touching lewd images."

Stewing Pigeons Tonight: "Tch, I'll give you four words: 'appearance reflects the heart.'"

Wifey!: "@Melon Eater What you said might be a bit much, but there's some truth to it. If the teacher really is a female college student as you say, being so proficient in this field at such a young age is somewhat frightening upon reflection."

For a moment, the group began heated discussion about Teacher Hana ni Kaze's true identity, but most were just talking nonsense based on their impressions of Teacher Hana ni Kaze.

Unlike those people in the group, she clearly knew that Teacher Hana ni Kaze was the bastard Bei Yaoyue beside her.

This was probably the legendary "everyone is drunk but I alone am sober."

After watching with little interest for a while, she yawned boredly and clicked on group members, finding the group owner among them.

"Non-commission inquiries please do not private message"

This was Bei Yaoyue's group nickname. Seven simple words carried an aura of "strangers keep away," truly having Bei Yaoyue's style.

This account was unfamiliar, probably a work account Bei Yaoyue used specifically for business matters.

She hesitated for a while, but still clicked on the private chat window with Bei Yaoyue.

Since it said non-commission inquiries please do not private message, she'd just commission something. It was just spending a little money.

Anyway, the money she gave would go to Bei Yaoyue's hands, and Bei Yaoyue would give it back to her through salary, so it rounded down to getting a free image.

She was very curious about what kind of face online Bei Yaoyue would show.
