Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 64 : Can't Cry, Must Be Strong

Xifeng didn't know how long she had been sitting alone on the chair. She only knew that the surrounding pedestrians had changed batch after batch, and the sun had traced a considerable arc in the sky, slowly moving toward its highest point.

Whether from anger or something else, Xifeng felt her head was somewhat dizzy, making her already weak body even more listless.

Sitting on the chair, she didn't want to move a step. Taking out her phone, she discovered there were more than ten missed calls, all from He Pingge.

She struggled to support her body, thought for a moment, and still dialed Bei Yaoyue's number first.

Although this seemed somewhat unfair to He Pingge's concern for her, she had something she absolutely had to say to Bei Yaoyue.

The phone was answered almost immediately after connecting, but what followed was a long silence. The two seemed to have reached some tacit understanding, neither speaking first.

"Bei Yaoyue." Xifeng was first to break the silence that even the air found awkward. "Starting tonight, I'm going back to live at my own place.

"I think we both need to calm down, and take this opportunity to... think things through properly."

She couldn't delay any longer. It was time to make a decision.

By now, Bei Yaoyue had gone further and further down the wrong path, even showing signs of not turning back until hitting the wall. This was what Xifeng didn't want to see. If it really came to that point, it would truly benefit no one.

With things developing to this extent, Bei Yaoyue's stubbornness and obsession bore primary responsibility, the system's interference was naturally an important factor, but her own half-hearted compliance and inaction were equally culpable. If she could have been earlier, more decisive, and more ruthless in her rejection, perhaps their relationship wouldn't be as awkward as it was now.

Xifeng felt that if she were to describe her actions these past days in four words, it would be "abetting the tiger."

But the phone line only continued with persistent silence, so quiet it was as if their call had been disconnected.

Thinking Bei Yaoyue might be hesitating, Xifeng didn't rush her. She held the phone, boredly kicking the chair leg intermittently with her toe, waiting for Bei Yaoyue's answer.

Her head grew increasingly heavy, her body feeling somewhat unsteady, like the state the day after staying up all night gaming, making Xifeng's body sway slightly.

"...Okay."

After a long while, Bei Yaoyue finally gave an affirmative reply, seemingly having made a great decision.

But actually, whether Bei Yaoyue agreed or refused wouldn't affect Xifeng's decision. She had to completely distance herself from Bei Yaoyue for a few days, to let her calm down properly.

"Then let's leave it at that."

Having nothing else to say, Xifeng directly pressed the hang-up button, then dialed He Pingge's phone.

"Xifeng! Where are you!?"

Before Xifeng could speak, He Pingge's anxious and caring voice came through the phone.

She looked around and found a landmark building: "I'm at the entrance of 'Soaring Over the Horizon.'"

"Okay, wait there for me. I'm coming over now."

After hesitating, Xifeng asked: "Coo Coo, do you have any particular attraction you want to play?"

"No, why?"

"How about... we head back." Xifeng lightly tapped her forehead with her index finger knuckle. "I'm not feeling very well."

She hadn't paid attention to when her body started feeling strange, but as time went on, the dizzy and groggy feeling became more and more obvious.

After a brief silence, He Pingge answered: "...Mm, okay."

"Call Old Ji too. Let's have lunch together. I have... a lot I want to say."

Hansguang District, Fortune World Villa Area.

Sunlight shot through the gaps in the curtains, casting spots of light on the tiled floor, providing the only meager light source for the dim room.

A spacious soft bed, peach-colored sheets, light pink mosquito netting, plus crystal decorations everywhere refracting sunlight, gave this room a dreamlike feeling.

Su Weiai was curled up in bed, lazily lying on the pillow playing with her phone.

This was one of her favorite things—on weekend mornings when she didn't have to get up early, staying in bed after waking without having to do anything. This feeling was absolutely wonderful.

"Knock knock."

There was a knocking sound at the door. Su Weiai yawned and said lazily: "Come in."

A woman dressed as a maid pushed open the door, walked to the bedside, and said respectfully: "Miss, you should get up."

"No." Like a spoiled child, she wrapped herself in the blanket and turned 180 degrees on the bed, flapping her feet. "It's only just past nine."

Seemingly accustomed to this, the maid sighed lightly: "But if you don't get up soon, Master will be angry."

"Mmm..." It was clear that the title "Master" still had considerable restraining power over Su Weiai. Her expression instantly fell. "Let me lie down for just another half hour."

"But..." A hesitant expression appeared on the maid's face.

"I don't care. Just tell him that. If he gets angry, let him be angry."

"Yes."

The maid nodded and quietly withdrew.

"So annoying..." Su Weiai muttered in dissatisfaction, twirling her hair and swiping on her phone screen. "Won't even let me lie in a bit longer on weekends."

At this moment, a notification floating at the top of the screen entered Su Weiai's view. She casually tapped it open—it was from her friend Ye Liqin.

"I just encountered two girls kissing in public and even confessing on the spot."

"Eh, are people so open nowadays?"

A strange chord was struck in her heart. Su Weiai's mood became somewhat melancholy. She somewhat admired those two people's courage. If she could also be so brave in doing what she wanted to do, saying what was in her heart...

"Where did you encounter this?"

"Disney Land. The main thing is one of those two people seemed like your classmate. I found her quite familiar."

"Classmate?"

Slightly surprised, Su Weiai replied: "Do you have photos? Let me see."

"Yes."

Soon, Ye Liqin sent her a photo. She opened it, and after seeing the people in the photo clearly, her pupils suddenly constricted, her throat instantly becoming dry.

"Do you know them?"

She stared blankly at Ye Liqin's message, feeling as if something very important was missing from her heart.

Disney Land... that was a holy place for lovers' dates.

"I don't know them. You must be mistaken."

She didn't know how she managed to type these words.

"Alright."

"You go ahead and have fun. I won't disturb you."

Without even waiting for Ye Liqin's reply, she directly threw her phone aside, burrowed back under the blanket, and buried her head under the pillow like an ostrich.

Can't cry, must be strong.
