Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 56 : Cross-Server Chat

While eating breakfast, He Pingge silently watched Xifeng across from her, who was quietly nibbling on a steamed bun in small bites. The smile in the corners of her eyes was about to overflow.

Her Xifei was really cute no matter how you looked at her. Even the way she ate a steamed bun was so elegant, just like a noble young lady well-versed in etiquette and graceful in manner.

But if Xifeng knew what He Pingge was thinking, she'd probably face-plant on the ground. The reason she ate the steamed bun in small bites was actually because she had no real need for normal food. Eating was just for show, so naturally she chewed slowly and carefully, eating as little as possible.

He Pingge, absorbed in admiring Xifeng, was completely unaware that Bei Yaoyue beside her was also staring intently at her. But unlike her gaze filled with laughter, Bei Yaoyue's eyes were full of coldness and wariness, like a fierce sheepdog glaring tightly at a wolf trying to harm the flock, ready to strike hard at the slightest movement.

He Pingge didn't notice, but Xifeng clearly felt the explosive atmosphere radiating from Bei Yaoyue. She felt somewhat depressed, increasingly unable to understand why Bei Yaoyue had such great hostility toward He Pingge.

Although she knew Bei Yaoyue had a strong possessiveness toward her, she and He Pingge were just very good friends. Wasn't this level of hostility a bit excessive?

Lowering her head to nibble on the bun, Xifeng wondered how she could explain to make Bei Yaoyue believe that her relationship with He Pingge was truly purer than white paper.

"Xifeng." Halfway through eating, Bei Yaoyue suddenly spoke. "Go to the Starbucks next door and buy three caramel macchiatos, hot, with seven parts sugar."

"Eh?" Swallowing the tasteless food in her mouth, Xifeng scratched her head. "Why do you suddenly want caramel macchiatos?"

"Don't ask, just go."

"What's the rush? Let's buy them together after we finish breakfast." A trace of dissatisfaction appeared on Xifeng's face.

"Just go." Bei Yaoyue frowned and repeated.

"...Fine, fine, fine. You really are something."

With a long sigh, Xifeng helplessly stood up and said to He Pingge: "You two eat first. I'll go to Starbucks."

"Okay~" He Pingge readily agreed. After Xifeng left, her usually smiling expression became serious and solemn.

If Xifeng couldn't see it, how could she not? This was clearly her sister-in-law deliberately sending Xifeng away, intending to test her alone to see if she was worthy of Xifeng.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her. Maybe if she performed well and satisfied her sister-in-law, she would allow her to be with Xifeng.

Looking at He Pingge, who had suddenly straightened up with a posture of attentive listening, Bei Yaoyue was completely confused. What was this situation?

Frowning, Bei Yaoyue asked directly: "Is your sexual orientation toward men or women?"

Eh, starting with such a sensitive topic right away?

As expected of sister-in-law, her insight was really good. She could tell at a glance that her sexual orientation was different from ordinary people.

Showing an awkward but polite smile, He Pingge answered: "I like girls."

From a very young age, He Pingge had surprisingly discovered that she was different from other girls. She would not only instinctively dislike boys her age, but would also develop a strange feeling toward girls of the same sex that she couldn't understand at the time.

Puzzled, she posted her innocent confusion online and quickly got answers from helpful netizens, embarking on a path different from others from that day forward.

That day, she first encountered words like "yuri," "homosexual," and "lesbian." She also learned that the feeling she had toward girls her age was called "liking," and she understood that she was homosexual.

However, she had always been a very optimistic and positive person. Once she accepted this fact, it wasn't a big deal. Wasn't cuddling with fragrant and soft girls a hundred times better than men?

Learning He Pingge's answer, Bei Yaoyue's expression became even more grave. Her gaze turned icy, her voice sharp as she asked coldly: "Then do you like Xifeng?"

Here it comes!

He Pingge perked up. Indeed, sister-in-law was here to test her. This question was completely within her expectations, and she had already thought of her answer.

"Of course I like her." Wearing her characteristic energetic smile, He Pingge blinked. "Xifei is so cute, who wouldn't like her?"

After a brief silence, Bei Yaoyue showed a cold smile and said mercilessly: "Well said. I like Xifeng too."

After speaking, Bei Yaoyue had a moment of confusion. She suddenly realized that she had been quietly turned gay by Xifeng without knowing when.

Before meeting Xifeng, she was indeed a straight woman with very normal sexual orientation. She drew yuri only because she didn't like and wasn't good at drawing male bodies, plus yuri had a big market.

As for that yuri-flavored group name, it was changed by those mischievous administrators. She never managed the group and never got involved in such things.

Looking back, in just less than two weeks, she had been completely turned into a yuri by Xifeng—though perhaps that wasn't quite accurate, because she only liked Xifeng alone.

Bei Yaoyue's extremely confrontational words sounded completely different to He Pingge at this moment. Wasn't it normal for sisters to like each other?

"Xifeng also said she really likes you. You sisters have such a good relationship, I'm so envious." He Pingge said with some emotion, while secretly nodding to herself. This made it even more important to maintain a good relationship with sister-in-law, which would undoubtedly be greatly beneficial for turning Xifeng gay.

"..." Bei Yaoyue's face darkened, completely broken by He Pingge's innocent words, taking 10,000 points of critical damage.

What she least wanted to hear now was people mentioning their sisterly relationship. He Pingge's words undoubtedly touched the point in her heart she was most unwilling to face.

"My liking for her might be somewhat different from the kind of liking you're imagining." Bei Yaoyue said with a gloomy expression.

"Eh? Not the kind of liking I imagine sisters would have? Could it be..." After frowning and thinking for a moment, He Pingge had a sudden realization. "I understand, it's the kind of liking a mother would have, right? Sigh, I can understand. There's a saying that the eldest sister is like a mother. Xifei is just a child who never grows up, so worrying. Sometimes I really feel like an old mother. As her sister, you must have worried yourself sick over her too..."

"...?"

Bei Yaoyue looked at He Pingge with complete bewilderment, wondering if this person was pretending to be stupid or really was stupid, as she had somehow imagined countless things in an instant.

But this really couldn't be blamed on He Pingge. After all, in He Pingge's eyes, although the two weren't blood-related, they had legally become sisters. Who would think—or dare to think—in that forbidden direction?

Frowning, Bei Yaoyue was about to continue explaining when she saw Xifeng returning with the caramel macchiatos. After hesitating, she strangely closed her mouth.

She could tell that Xifeng didn't know about He Pingge liking her, and she naturally didn't plan to let Xifeng know about this, to avoid complications.
