Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 37 : A New Storm Is About to Appear

VTuber clearly touched on Bei Yaoyue's knowledge blind spot. She thought for a moment and asked: "What's a VTuber?"

"Virtual streamer—basically streamers who broadcast with virtual avatars." Xifeng explained. "It's something that's emerged in recent years and is quite popular among 2D fans."

Raising an eyebrow, Bei Yaoyue asked intently: "Why do you want to stream?"

"Uh... to make money?" Xifeng laughed dryly. "After all, I can only rely on myself for income. I need to find ways to make money and support myself."

Though the compensation money she had left was enough to last until marriage and pay the down payment for a house in Crescent City, people always had to look forward, right?

She wasn't someone who liked to live off savings. In college, she had done plenty of part-time work for extra income.

"Since you've joined the Bei Yao family, you're part of the Bei Yao family now. You don't need to earn money at all, and if worse comes to worst......"

Speaking, Bei Yaoyue quietly averted her gaze, looking elsewhere as if avoiding something.

She paused, then said in the softest voice possible: "I'll support you."

This statement was extremely ambiguous—any response would be inappropriate, so Xifeng simply pretended not to hear: "Making money is only part of it. Another purpose is to pass time."

She had been thinking during class today that since she could no longer find pure enjoyment in games, perhaps she should try some new paths.

So naturally, she thought of becoming a game streamer.

Not to brag, but she considered her voice to be in the very pleasant category and should attract quite a few perverts and lolicons.

It's just that considering various factors, she felt she wasn't suited for face-cam streaming, so all things considered, becoming a virtual streamer might be most appropriate.

After thinking for a while, Bei Yaoyue turned her head and stared intently into Xifeng's eyes: "Can I vote against this?"

She didn't have any strange fetishes and didn't want to share her Xifeng with others.

Hearing this, Xifeng immediately pouted and stopped talking, just staring back with pleading eyes.

The diamond-like brilliant crimson eyes flickered with longing light, very much like a stray cat that had been hungry for days looking eagerly at fresh food in a display case.

In just an instant, Bei Yaoyue was defeated, choosing to surrender like a French soldier on a battlefield.

"Send me the character design on QQ. I'll draw it for you in the next couple days."

Sighing lightly, Bei Yaoyue calculated in her mind how to arrange her upcoming time with this additional task to ensure all commissions were completed on schedule.

"I knew Bei Yaoyue was the best." Xifeng showed a happy smile and quickly flattered her.

"......"

Bei Yaoyue's eyes trembled slightly, but she didn't respond, instead turning and leaving the room.

How she wished this statement came from Xifeng's heart, not just flattery.

Having just gotten into bed after showering, Xifeng received a voice call request from He Pingge.

"Hello?"

Xifeng held the phone between her shoulder and ear while organizing clothes for tomorrow.

"Good evening, Xixi!"

The voice on the other end was always so energetic, as if having endless vitality. Just hearing this voice, Xifeng's mind involuntarily conjured He Pingge's youthful and vibrant smile.

Xifeng would be even happier if this very awkward nickname could be changed.

"Good evening, Coo Coo. What's up?"

No visit to the temple without purpose—for He Pingge to call her this late, she must have something to say.

"I have good news for you!"

"What good news?"

"Are you free this weekend?"

Unable to figure out what He Pingge was up to, Xifeng scratched her head and answered: "I should be."

"I'm planning to visit Crescent City this weekend."

"What? Are you crazy?" Xifeng was shocked, and the phone almost slipped from her shoulder. "You're coming all the way to Crescent City to visit?"

You have to know that He Pingge's Autumn Maple City and Crescent City were separated by half the country—even by plane it would take over three hours.

"Hidoi (So mean)!" He Pingge quickly made a dissatisfied sound. "What do you mean I'm crazy? I missed you! How long has it been since we last met? Don't you miss me?"

"Uh......"

Xifeng was stumped by this question, because she really couldn't answer it. According to what she knew, Jiangfeng had moved to Crescent City four years ago and hadn't seen He Pingge for almost a year, but "Xifeng" had only moved to Crescent City a few days ago—there was some conflict here.

Not sure which version He Pingge was operating under, Xifeng honestly kept quiet on this issue and just answered: "Of course I miss you too."

"Then that settles it. I'll land around 11 AM Saturday and leave at 4 PM Sunday. You'll be responsible for my food, lodging, and transportation for these two days."

"But you have the gaokao next month. Is it really okay to spend two days here?"

"It's fine. Do you really need to worry about my studies? Consider it getting familiar with the environment in advance."

"That's what you say... wait, are you also applying to universities in Crescent City?"

"Of course! You and Old Ji are both in Crescent City. I don't want to be alone in another city—how lonely would that be?"

"......"

"Oh, and by the way, don't tell Old Ji about me coming to Crescent City."

"Why?"

A big question mark appeared over Xifeng's head. Their three-way relationship was solid as iron—they did everything together and never excluded anyone like this.

"Because my purpose this time is to hang out with you! Plus, it's not appropriate for a guy to follow along when two girls are going out, right?"

"......Ah, this."

Xifeng was somewhat speechless. So there was actually this kind of reasoning, though it did seem to make sense.

Though she felt this was somewhat unfair to Old Ji, since He Pingge had requested it, she could only agree.

"So it's settled then?"

"Okay."

After hanging up, He Pingge didn't immediately turn off her phone but stared at her wallpaper in a daze, wearing a faint smile.

It was a photo showing a girl with rare white hair and crimson eyes, face flushed, seemingly trying to avoid the camera by turning her head sideways. Her hands appeared to be trying to block the lens, but unfortunately the photo still clearly captured most of her figure.

"Why don't you understand......"

He Pingge murmured to herself in a slightly lonely tone, though it was unclear who she was speaking to.

After a long while, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes briefly, then put on a confident smile.

"Wait for me. I'll definitely get into Crescent University of Technology."

After saying this, she tossed her phone aside and buried her head in the test papers covering her entire desk.

The long night stretched ahead, with only exam papers for company.
