Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 61 : Nine-Fold Water Bottle

"This effect was really amazing!" Coming out of the exit, Xifeng recalled the experience of the past few minutes, still somewhat excited. "When the performance reached that shipwreck scene, I almost thought I had really sunk to the bottom of the sea. It gave me such a fright."

No wonder Xifeng was so immersed. As a project with one of the highest approval ratings in all of Disney Land, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure" had mastered atmosphere and performance effects to perfection—lifelike mannequins, stirring music, 360-degree high-definition screens providing the ultimate realistic visual experience, water splashes during cannon battles... everything made people feel as if they were really there, as if they themselves were pirates risking their lives to compete for sunken treasure.

"If you like it, we can play it again. We don't need to queue anyway." Bei Yaoyue pointed to the fast lane entrance.

"No need. Time is precious, there's no point wasting time on the same attraction." Xifeng shook her head, looking at the seemingly endless queue beside them, couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

The predicted queue time displayed at the entrance had reached 130 minutes, which was enough to show how popular this attraction was.

At this moment, Xifeng was somewhat grateful. Fortunately Bei Yaoyue had come along, otherwise she and He Pingge would probably have wasted eighty to ninety percent of their time queuing today.

"Huh? What's that?"

Not far away, a huge castle was surrounded by a vast crowd three layers deep, catching Xifeng's attention.

"Golden Fairytale Fanfare." Bei Yaoyue looked at the attraction information on her phone. "A large-scale performance held at Fantasyland. It only performs three times a day. Do you want to watch?"

"Since we happened to catch it, let's go take a look." As she spoke, Xifeng was already leading the way quickly toward the castle. Bei Yaoyue and He Pingge exchanged glances and followed.

But when they reached the outer edge of the crowd, Xifeng discovered a reality that made her quite desperate—she was really too short, so much so that the dense sea of people was like an insurmountable wall of sighs for her.

All Xifeng could see were heads. She could barely see the upper half of the towering castle, and trying to clearly see the performance on the stage in front of the castle was simply a pipe dream.

"Damn it!" A trace of embarrassed anger appeared on her face. Xifeng stamped her feet in frustration. Why did she have to endure this humiliation!

At 140cm tall, even for a fourteen-year-old, she could be called short. She clearly remembered that when she was fifteen years old before, she was already 168cm.

Damn it, why!?

Beside her, watching Xifeng bouncing around, wanting to see but unable to see anything, Bei Yaoyue couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Let me take some photos for you."

Really unable to watch anymore, she walked to Xifeng's side, raised her phone to take several photos of the stage, then handed the phone to Xifeng.

"Who, who asked for your help!"

Her face flushing red, Xifeng turned her head away in shame and anger. Wasn't Bei Yaoyue basically pointing at her nose and calling her too short?

"Is that so? Then I won't bother with you." Bei Yaoyue said indifferently, then ignored her and watched by herself.

"Mmm..."

The feeling of being ignored made Xifeng feel terrible. Listening to the tsunami-like discussions and applause from the crowd around her, she felt as if she had been forgotten by the world—lonely, weak, and helpless.

"Fine, since you've already taken them, I'll give you this face and reluctantly take a look." Speaking somewhat awkwardly, Xifeng directly snatched the phone from Bei Yaoyue's hands. "What's the unlock password?"

Slightly stunned, Bei Yaoyue said softly: "060404."

It was Xifeng's birthday.

Xifeng was also momentarily stunned, but immediately pretended not to have realized this was her own birthday and quickly unlocked Bei Yaoyue's phone.

She searched for the photo album on the desktop. Suddenly, she noticed that on one of the pages, there were two gear-shaped icons. These two icons looked identical at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there were some subtle differences.

Strange, why would one phone have two settings apps?

However, Xifeng's attention wasn't on this at the moment, so she didn't think much about it, just finding Bei Yaoyue's phone somewhat odd.

She opened the photo album and found those few photos just taken. The photos showed a girl dressed as a princess in a blue top and yellow skirt, with several exaggeratedly dressed dwarfs beside her. It looked quite fairy tale-like.

Xifeng had an impression of this outfit—it seemed to be called a Disney Princess or something, quite a famous anime character.

Bei Yaoyue's eyes turned, and taking advantage of the time when Xifeng was looking down at the phone, she walked to He Pingge's side and said to her: "Help me with something."

"What favor?" He Pingge perked up. "As long as I can help."

Her sister-in-law personally asking for her help—this was a great opportunity to show herself!

"Xifeng wants you to help her record this performance."

"Oh..." He Pingge nodded understandingly. Since it was Xifeng's favor, she definitely had to help.

She never considered the possibility that Bei Yaoyue might be lying to her. After all, in her view, Bei Yaoyue had no reason to deceive her, right?

"The angle and view aren't very good from here. Go record from over there." Bei Yaoyue pointed to a viewing platform to the south. "You should be able to capture the entire stage from there."

It would take a big detour to get from here to the viewing platform, with walking time of at least ten minutes each way.

"Mm... are you two still going to stay here?"

"Yes, I need to watch over her. You go record first. There's about half an hour left until it's over, we'll wait here for you to come back."

"Alright then." He Pingge nodded and turned to leave.

Watching He Pingge's retreating figure, Bei Yaoyue showed a disdainful cold smile. Nine-fold water bottle?

Think about it—if she couldn't see, why would Xifeng still stay here?

This was obviously a not-very-tight lie, even full of holes, yet He Pingge didn't suspect anything at all and was just deceived by Bei Yaoyue like this. Should she be called innocent, or stupid?

By the time He Pingge finished recording and came back, the two of them would definitely be long gone.

Although such a double-sided lie would definitely be exposed afterward, Bei Yaoyue didn't care at all. So what if He Pingge found out? Wasn't she the one who won the time alone with Xifeng?

"Where did you go?" Xifeng looked around and didn't see He Pingge. "Huh? Where did Coo Coo go?"

"She had a stomachache and went to the restroom." Bei Yaoyue said with an unchanged expression, showing no sign of lying.

"Oh."

Unable to see the program on stage, Xifeng became increasingly restless and couldn't help asking: "What's being performed on stage?"

"Mm..."

Pinching her chin and organizing her words, Bei Yaoyue slowly said: "The general plot is that once upon a time, there was a very beautiful girl who was oppressed by her stepmother daily and forced to do rough and tiring work.

"One day, the prince held a ball and invited all the girls in the city to attend, but the stepmother wouldn't allow this girl to go and assigned her lots and lots of work.

"At this time, a fairy appeared...

"...Finally, the prince found the girl and passionately proposed to her, and they lived happily ever after."

"Although you told it well..." Xifeng pressed her forehead helplessly. "But isn't this the story of Cinderella? What does it have to do with Disney Princesses?"

She had actually listened seriously to Bei Yaoyue's long story, only realizing halfway through that Bei Yaoyue was telling Cinderella's story.

"It has nothing to do with it." Bei Yaoyue said seriously, speaking incomprehensibly. "I just wanted to tell it to you."

"...Why tell me such an overheard story?"

"Because..." Smiling lightly like a gentle breeze, Bei Yaoyue lowered her head and whispered in Xifeng's ear: "If I were the prince, would you be willing to be my Cinderella?"

"...!"

Goosebumps scattered all over the ground. Xifeng quickly stepped back, looking at Bei Yaoyue with disgust and frowning: "Aren't you being gross? Ugh."

Bei Yaoyue didn't respond to her complaint, but blinked her beautiful eyes and asked: "Do you know the difference between you and the stars?"

"...What."

"Stars are in the sky." Bei Yaoyue gently took Xifeng's hand, holding her palm, with a smile in her eyes. "But you're in my heart."

"...My god, where did you learn such cheesy pickup lines?" Feeling like she might vomit last night's dinner, Xifeng couldn't help complaining. "It's 2020, can't you say something more decent?"

"Sure." Bei Yaoyue's eyes sparkled, seemingly containing brilliant galaxies, her bright smile filled with warmth like winter sunshine.

"I like you."
