Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 48 : Spouting Nonsense with a Straight Face

Academic Affairs Director's office.

Hao Kangde looked angrily at the two female students standing before him with their heads lowered, feeling his anger rising steadily.

He had been a grade director for over ten years, and this was the first time he had seen students dare to be so bold—skipping class was one thing, but to actually embrace each other and make ambiguous gestures.

What was even worse was that they were both girls!

Tianshui No. 1 High School had always placed great importance on school rules and discipline. This kind of behavior that seriously corrupted the school atmosphere would absolutely not be easily forgiven!

Hao Kangde stared at the two and asked coldly: "Which classes are you two from?"

He was determined to make these two girls forever remember just how serious the mistakes they had made today were.

"Class 101." Bei Yaoyue answered indifferently, her expression subtly unfriendly.

Today could truly be said to have perfect timing, location, and circumstances. She only needed five more minutes and she could have succeeded.

It was clearly such a heaven-sent opportunity, yet it was ruthlessly destroyed by Hao Kangde. How could she possibly give him a good face?

"......Class 102." Xifeng glanced at Bei Yaoyue, who seemed heartless and completely unconcerned, and immediately felt anger rising from within, hating her so much she wanted to twist her head off.

She was already at a huge loss from Bei Yaoyue's unprovoked bestial behavior, but then misfortune struck twice when she was caught red-handed by the academic affairs director.

Even though she had graduated from Tianshui No. 1 High School nearly four years ago, when she saw this familiar mahjong face again, Xifeng's little heart still clenched hard.

Hao Kangde was a legendary figure at Tianshui No. 1 High School, always known for his strictness. Anyone caught by him playing with phones or reading novels during class, unless they had extremely strong connections, basically none escaped being advised to withdraw. Almost every student maintained an extreme sense of awe toward the notoriously fierce Hao Kangde.

Therefore, Xifeng felt this time was more ominous than fortunate.

"What are your names?" Hao Kangde continued asking.

"Bei Yaoyue."

"......Bei... Bei Yaofeng."

Hearing their names, Hao Kangde frowned. Surnamed Bei Yao—weren't these Bei Yaochen's daughters?

Understanding that Bei Yaochen was someone who couldn't be casually provoked, Hao Kangde's attitude toward the two immediately warmed considerably, though he still maintained the dignity an academic affairs director should have: "Why weren't you two attending class?"

"My sister accidentally dropped her textbook in the woods, so I accompanied her back to look for it." Bei Yaoyue lied without batting an eye or changing color.

After hearing Bei Yaoyue's words, even Xifeng couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at her. Such thickness of face—even Xifeng had to admit defeat.

"Lost your book? Then where is it?" Hao Kangde looked at their empty hands and felt a moment of breathlessness. "I don't see you holding any books either?"

"Haven't found it yet."

Bei Yaoyue's nonsensical words almost made Xifeng laugh out loud, but fortunately she forcibly held back her laughter.

"Haven't found it yet?" Frowning, Hao Kangde's expression gradually darkened. "If you haven't found it, why aren't you hurrying to look? What were you doing embracing each other over there? Hugging and holding each other at school—what kind of behavior is this!"

"My sister's hair tie came undone, so I was helping her fix her hair." Bei Yaoyue continued spouting nonsense with a straight face.

"......" Hao Kangde was momentarily speechless. You call that fixing hair? Your faces were almost touching—he wasn't blind!

But then he thought about it—since the two were sisters, they probably wouldn't do anything inappropriate. Maybe they really were just fixing hair, and perhaps he was overthinking it.

If it were other students, he would have started scolding directly, using his academic affairs director's authority to force the truth out of them. But the two before him were Bei Yaochen's daughters, so he had to consider which words he could say and which he couldn't.

"Director Hao, I'm sorry. My sister and I shouldn't have skipped class."

Afraid that Bei Yaoyue might say something else to provoke him, Xifeng quickly lowered her head to admit fault: "My sister and I seriously violated school discipline and caused extremely serious negative impact, but we have deeply recognized our mistakes and guarantee we will never make the same mistakes again. We earnestly request that Director Hao give us a chance to reform."

This template-style confession didn't even require thinking—Xifeng could produce it off the cuff, and if needed, she could even compose several more paragraphs.

After hearing Xifeng's words, Hao Kangde frowned and pondered for a while, then looked at Xifeng's sincere expression of admitting fault, sighed, and said: "Since you've already recognized your mistakes, I'll give each of you one chance. Go back and write a 2,000-word self-reflection, finish it within one day and submit it to me. If I'm satisfied with it, I'll let you off this time."

He shook his head helplessly in his heart. Due to Bei Yaochen's influence, he had no choice but to change his punishment plan from severely disciplining the two to writing a symbolic self-reflection.

After all, this really hadn't caused any bad impact. If the punishment was too severe and made Bei Yaochen unhappy, causing him to make things difficult behind the scenes, how could a small academic affairs director like him handle it?

Never having expected to be let off so easily, Xifeng was momentarily dumbfounded. Was this really the impartial, catch-one-kill-one hellish judge Hao Kangde?

"Thank you, Director Hao!" Quickly bowing respectfully, Xifeng grabbed Bei Yaoyue's hand. "Then we'll return to the classroom first. Goodbye, Director Hao!"

After the two left, Hao Kangde frowned and thought for a long time, then picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, is this Bei Yaochen? I'm......"

Closing the door to the academic affairs director's office, Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

"You don't need to be so respectful. He wouldn't dare do anything to us."

"He's still the academic affairs director after all. We should show the proper respect......" Xifeng laughed dryly. She felt Bei Yaoyue often displayed very poor manners, and perhaps she should find an opportunity to properly teach Bei Yaoyue the etiquette of social interaction.

While talking to her, Bei Yaoyue kept looking elsewhere. Xifeng curiously followed Bei Yaoyue's gaze and saw their hands tightly clasped together.

Xifeng's face immediately flushed red, only then remembering that to quickly leave that oppressive place earlier, she had instinctively grabbed Bei Yaoyue's hand. This was the first time she had actively held a girl's hand.

Somewhat awkwardly letting go of Bei Yaoyue's hand, Xifeng turned her head away with a slightly red face: "Don't misunderstand. I just wanted to leave quickly."

Bei Yaoyue didn't respond, just smiled slightly, bent down close to Xifeng's ear, gently brushed aside those silver-white strands, and whispered softly in her ear: "I want to ask, how exactly do you see me?"

Bei Yaoyue recalled that when she had gotten handsy today, Xifeng hadn't shown particular resistance. She felt this was a good sign.

Bei Yaoyue's scent accompanied by warm breath reached her, making Xifeng tremble slightly. The black hair brushing against her cheek made her feel somewhat ticklish.

"No particular view. Get lost!"

Feeling uncomfortable all over, Xifeng quickly stepped back two paces, creating distance from Bei Yaoyue, putting on a wary expression and saying sternly: "Bei Yaoyue, I'm warning you—if you ever do that kind of thing to me again, I... I... I'm going to get angry!"

After speaking, she glared at Bei Yaoyue with fierce eyes, then turned and left alone in a huff.

Although she was ruthlessly snubbed, Bei Yaoyue not only felt no heartbreak or disappointment, but gradually a charming smile that could enchant souls slowly appeared on her seemingly eternally frozen face.

A charming smile and beautiful glances.
