Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 41 : Sooner or Later It'll Be Mine and Yours

"Come in."

Having received permission, Bei Yaochen pushed the door open and entered. He looked around and immediately felt the atmosphere in the room was somewhat strange.

He saw Bei Yaoyue sitting nervously by the bedside arranging her hair, while Xifeng had turned her head to look the other way, and through the gaps in her long hair, he could vaguely see her neck that was white with a hint of pink.

Bei Yaochen's eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but he quickly returned to a smiling expression.

"Why did you come?" Bei Yaoyue asked blandly.

Being interrupted at such an exciting moment felt really awful. She had been planning to see if she could use this heaven-sent opportunity to do something more intimate.

"I heard my daughter was sick and hospitalized, so of course I had to come see." Bei Yaochen smiled helplessly and sat down beside Bei Yaoyue, looking at Xifeng on the hospital bed. "But I heard from the doctor that it's nothing serious, so I'm relieved."

Having learned from Bei Yaoyue's previous lesson, nothing was more important than his daughter in Bei Yaochen's heart now.

He had initially thought something major was wrong with Xifeng's body. Seeing Xifeng now with a rosy complexion and excellent color, he finally breathed a sigh of relief—it seemed to be just a false alarm.

Of course, he hadn't yet developed deep father-daughter feelings for Xifeng, since emotions need to be cultivated rather than appearing from thin air, but this didn't affect his genuine concern for Xifeng—because he could see that Bei Yaoyue cared about Xifeng very much. If something happened to Xifeng's body, Bei Yaoyue would probably be very sad too.

"I'm here to take care of her, you don't need to worry." Bei Yaoyue turned her head away with an unfriendly tone. "Go busy yourself with your work."

Being mercilessly mocked, Bei Yaochen couldn't help but show a bitter smile, then said to Xifeng: "Then I won't disturb you. Rest well, and tell Dad if you need anything. I'll leave first."

Gently closing the hospital room door, the smile on Bei Yaochen's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a very heavy expression. His sword-like eyebrows furrowed tightly, as if he was contemplating something.

"Something's not right......" he muttered gravely to himself.

Inside the hospital room.

"This isn't quite right of you......" Xifeng scratched her head somewhat awkwardly. Even she couldn't stand watching Bei Yaoyue's attitude toward Bei Yaochen.

"What's not right about it?"

"Uncle... Dad probably dropped everything he was doing and rushed over after hearing the news, right? He should care about both of us very much. Treating him like this will hurt his feelings."

"Hurt his feelings?" As if hearing some funny joke, Bei Yaoyue's lips curled into a cold smile. "When my heart was cruelly hurt... who cared about that?"

"......"

Xifeng was speechless. She could see that the lonely experiences of childhood were a knot in Bei Yaoyue's heart that was difficult to untie. Changing her mind would definitely not happen overnight.

The two fell into an awkward silence, but obviously Bei Yaoyue, who was already used to this, didn't care at all.

Fortunately, both tacitly avoided mentioning the kissing incident, otherwise the scene would have been even more awkward.

"Speaking of which......" Xifeng wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and sat up on the bed. "We're skipping class today, aren't we?"

"It's fine, I had Dad explain the situation to the teachers."

"That's good... by the way, does Dad have any connection with our school? It seems like many teachers at school know him?"

"Not much of a relationship."

"What kind of relationship is 'not much'? Tell me specifically."

"Do you know about the No. 9 teaching building that's currently under construction?"

Bei Yaoyue's gaze unconsciously drifted toward Xifeng's direction, as if wanting to see something through the blanket's wrapping.

"Of course I know."

Being stared at by Bei Yaoyue's predatory gaze made her feel uncomfortable all over, so Xifeng subconsciously wrapped the blanket even tighter.

"Building No. 9, the upcoming Building No. 10, and the new gymnasium were all donated by our dad. Plus, our dad is the second-largest shareholder of Tianshui No. 1 High School."

"I see......" Xifeng nodded thoughtfully, but then fell into shock. After a brief daze, she almost jumped up from the bed.

"Donated three buildings!? Second-largest shareholder!?" Xifeng was stunned. Bei Yaochen was that rich?

She had known that Tianshui No. 1 High School was a private school, but she never expected the second-largest shareholder to be Bei Yaochen.

Doing real estate business in a place like Crescent City where every inch of land was worth gold, the Bei Yao family's wealth might be an astronomical figure for Xifeng.

"Just a little money, pocket change." Compared to Xifeng's inexperienced shock, Bei Yaoyue was much calmer.

"Li-little money?" After being stunned for a while, Xifeng collapsed expressionlessly on the bed.

"Damn it! I want to be able to say such willful rich person statements too!" Xifeng was very displeased. They had agreed to achieve common prosperity together—why did some people always betray the revolution?

"There will be a chance. If nothing unexpected happens, that money will sooner or later all be mi......"

Halfway through speaking, Bei Yaoyue's voice suddenly became quieter, becoming almost inaudible.

"......and yours."

After saying this, she lowered her eyes as if wanting to hide.

"Eh? I have inheritance rights too?" Xifeng looked confused. She felt that Bei Yaochen's property should all go to Bei Yaoyue, right?

Xifeng didn't really care about inheritance rights. After all, she was just an outsider—these things didn't originally belong to her, so naturally she wouldn't covet them.

"......"

Bei Yaoyue didn't answer. Xifeng's failure to understand the meaning in her words made her feel disappointed and dejected.

This statement could be interpreted from two angles, and Xifeng's understanding was completely opposite to her intended meaning.

She suddenly remembered that line from Zhang Xiaoxian's novel "The Single Bed in the Purse."

The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, not being far apart, but standing right in front of you while you don't know that I love you.

She felt this line was perfectly suited to this moment.

"Have you rested enough?" Hiding her inner thoughts, Bei Yaoyue stood up from beside the bed. "Let's go home."

"Okay."

After saying this, Xifeng stared intently at Bei Yaoyue, and Bei Yaoyue kept looking at her. The two looked at each other for a long time without any movement.

"I say......" Xifeng finally couldn't stand it and was the first to speak: "I need to change clothes. Shouldn't you step out?"

"What's there to avoid? I saw everything when I helped you undress."

"You!" The verbal teasing made Xifeng feel intense shame. She didn't care about her image anymore and shouted loudly: "Get out!"

"Fine then, if you insist I go out, I'll go out." Shrugging indifferently, Bei Yaoyue waved her phone. "It's just that the two nude photos I took of you earlier might be seen by more people."

"Fuck your mom, don't!"

Xifeng turned pale with shock and quickly threw off the blanket. Not caring about her naked body, she desperately lunged for the phone in Bei Yaoyue's hand.
