Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 30 : Falling on Flat Ground Is Part of Life

Glancing sideways at Bei Yaoyue beside her, who maintained the same expression as always, Xifeng closed her phone with mixed feelings.

Without a doubt, she had been fishing.

When she was halfway through chatting with Bei Yaoyue earlier, she had a sudden inspiration and decided to use the commission as a way to test Bei Yaoyue's inner thoughts, so she disguised her identity and set a trap for Bei Yaoyue.

The persona she created for Pure Love War God was the female version of her former self as Jiangfeng, and Pure Love War God's sister was naturally Bei Yaoyue herself.

Delightfully, Bei Yaoyue took the bait as she wished, but the fish she caught was somewhat shocking.

Whether it was Bei Yaoyue's huge reaction when she falsely claimed they were lovers, or Bei Yaoyue's affirmative response after the final straightforward probing, everything pointed to one thing—Bei Yaoyue really had thoughts about her.

Perhaps the thoughts in Bei Yaoyue's heart weren't very clear or definite yet, but there was indeed already a sprout.

This was serious!

Understanding this, Xifeng's mood became tangled and extremely complex, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Speaking from the heart, as she was previously a man, her sexual orientation was naturally unquestionably female, so she had no resistance to yuri relationships.

This was the first time someone had liked her, and saying she felt no secret joy would be a lie.

But she didn't have much favorable feelings toward Bei Yaoyue, which could be seen from the affection level in the system. She also wasn't greedy for Bei Yaoyue's body or wealth, so she actually found Bei Yaoyue's feelings somewhat unacceptable.

Moreover, setting everything else aside, they were still too young.

Even though her mental age was already twenty-one, her body was only fourteen years old, and Bei Yaoyue was just a fifteen-year-old child. Romance was far from something people their age should be considering.

"Hey."

A call from Bei Yaoyue rang in her ear, and Xifeng snapped out of her contemplation.

"How long are you planning to sit in the car?"

With Bei Yaoyue's reminder, Xifeng realized the car had stopped at some point, so she hurriedly got out with her umbrella.

What met her eyes was an extremely familiar stone tablet with "Tianshui District No. 1 Senior High School" written in a vigorous running script, surrounded by groups of teenagers walking into the school gates with laughter and chatter.

"Tianshui No. 1 High School......"

Xifeng muttered to herself with deep emotion, surveying the extremely familiar environment around her as memories slowly surged up.

This was a place of memories that had left her countless unforgettable experiences. She had once sweated her youth here, once burned with the passion of struggle here.

Looking back, it had already been four years since she graduated from Tianshui No. 1 High School.

And now, four years later, everything had changed while the place remains the same.

Suddenly, Xifeng felt a sense of anticipation in her heart. With her current identity so different from what it was before, what would her high school life become?

According to the setting Lillian had arranged for her, she was transferring to Tianshui No. 1 High School today, so she went to the teachers' office to find her homeroom teacher, while Bei Yaoyue went directly to her own classroom to prepare for class.

Bei Yaoyue was in Class 101, while she was in Class 102. The two of them wouldn't be attending classes together.

This made Xifeng sincerely thank Lillian. She definitely didn't want to attend classes with that demon—it would be too torturous.

"You're Xifeng, right?"

The man pushed up the glasses on his nose and looked up at the girl before him. A flash of amazement passed through his eyes, but his professional qualities as a teacher made him quickly suppress his emotions and put on a standard smile.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm your future homeroom teacher. My name is Mo Yu, and I teach chemistry."

Xifeng nodded, thinking Mo Yu was indeed a good name, though it sounded like he should quite enjoy slacking off.

He looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with a crew cut and black-framed glasses. Combined with his magnetic voice, he gave off the approachable feeling of a big brother next door.

"Hello, Teacher Mo." Leaning forward slightly to show respect, Xifeng scratched her cheek and smiled somewhat awkwardly: "I've changed my name to Bei Yaofeng. The related procedures might be completed in the next few days."

"I understand, Bei Yaofeng......" Mo Yu nodded knowingly and continued looking down at the transfer procedures. Suddenly, he paused: "Bei Yao?"

"......Yes."

Mo Yu's sudden question made Xifeng's heart tighten. She didn't understand why Mo Yu was suddenly so surprised, so she just nodded and quietly observed Mo Yu's expression.

His eyebrows moved slightly, and Mo Yu raised an eyebrow and asked: "Is your father Bei Yaochen?"

The surname Bei Yao was quite rare. He only knew of one family with this surname.

"......Yes, Bei Yaochen is my adoptive father. Do you know him?"

"Of course I know him." Mo Yu laughed: "There probably isn't a teacher at Tianshui No. 1 High School who hasn't heard of Mr. Bei Yao."

"......?"

Wondering in her heart what the relationship between Bei Yaochen and Tianshui No. 1 High School was, Xifeng felt these questions weren't appropriate to ask Mo Yu, so she had to forcibly suppress her curiosity.

"It's about time." Mo Yu stood up from his office chair, organizing the transfer materials in his hands: "Let's go to the classroom. You'll need to go up and do a self-introduction later, so prepare yourself now."

Following Mo Yu into the teaching building, the sound of reading voices immediately filled her ears. Xifeng didn't know how long it had been since she'd heard such sounds, and she felt inexplicably moved.

"Everyone quiet down."

Mo Yu walked onto the podium and tapped the desk. The noisy reading voices immediately stopped, and the classroom quickly became quiet.

"Today we'll have a new classmate joining our Class 102 family. Let's ask the new student to introduce herself. Let's give her a warm welcome with applause."

After speaking, Mo Yu smiled at Xifeng outside the door and gestured for her to come in.

The enthusiastic applause seemed to urge her to go up quickly, making her feel somewhat nervous.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her gradually quickening heartbeat, and said to herself: Xifeng, you must perform well, make a good self-introduction. First impressions are very important. You absolutely cannot leave your classmates with a timid impression! Be strong, be confident, show your style!

After such self-encouragement, Xifeng immediately felt much more confident. She put on a sweet smile and walked into the classroom with her head held high and chest out.

The moment she stepped into the classroom, everyone's gaze instantly focused on Xifeng. Being the center of attention didn't feel good—she immediately felt like she had thorns on her back, and the tiny bit of confidence and courage she had just built up vanished into thin air.

"So cute, ah, I'm dead."

"She looks so small. Is she really in high school?"

"White hair and red eyes, how rare. Is it dyed?"

"Dyeing it white is too 2D, isn't it?"

The various discussions from below made Xifeng's already nervous mood even more flustered. In her panic, all her attention was focused on the discussions below, and she forgot to watch where she was stepping. Her raised toe kicked against the step of the podium.

"Ah!"

Letting out a cry of alarm, Xifeng's body fell forward uncontrollably, just like when she had knocked down Bei Yaoyue before.

But this time she wasn't so lucky—there was no one to cushion her fall.

"Owwwww!!!!!!!!!"

Her perky nose collided violently with the concrete floor of the podium. The intense pain shooting straight to her nerves made Xifeng's tear ducts lose control instantly, and tears poured out along with her cry of pain.

The unexpected fall on flat ground instantly silenced the classmates who had just been whispering to each other. The entire classroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and everyone stared dumbfounded at the white figure sprawled on the podium.

"Are you alright?"

Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly crouched down to help Xifeng up.

"I'm......I'm fine......ugh......"

Wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes, Xifeng used all her willpower to suppress the urge to cry out loud, trying her best to remove the sob from her voice.

Her eyes were shedding tears, but her heart was bleeding.

It was over! Everything was completely ruined!

The image she wanted to leave with her classmates was of a confident, sunny girl, not a clumsy, airheaded crybaby!
