Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 66 : Seeing Through, Letting Go

Opening the door, Bei Yaoyue walked into the living room in a daze, collapsing onto the sofa like a puppet with severed strings.

After so many years, she had clearly grown accustomed to living alone, but now, looking at the empty living room, she felt terribly uncomfortable, as if she had lost something important.

Recalling Xifeng's angry glance and extremely disappointed look before leaving, Bei Yaoyue lowered her head heavily, staring vacantly at the gaps between the tiles on the floor.

"If you continue being so selfish, then I can only say... you don't deserve to like her."

He Pingge's words to her stuck in her heart like a poisonous thorn, bringing waves of irrepressible heartache and loss.

She just wanted to be with Xifeng—was that wrong?

Bei Yaoyue asked herself this question, but unfortunately, she didn't know the answer, and no one could help her solve her doubts.

Actually, looking back, from the beginning, she had resisted this wrong feeling. This could be seen from her attempt to make Xifeng her sister to dispel her excessive thoughts.

But as it turned out, she had been too naive. Her plan had failed.

Liking someone is just liking—there's no reason for it.

When her love and desire for Xifeng exceeded her worry about consequences, she finally set aside all concerns and bravely took a step forward.

She never expected that the biggest obstacle constraining their relationship was created by her own hands. This was completely deserved.

Bei Yaoyue closed her eyes wearily and lay sideways on the sofa. She felt Xifeng was right—perhaps it was time to calm down.

Her heart felt particularly uncomfortable. Just lying here feeling depressed didn't seem like a solution. Bei Yaoyue thought she should find a way to go out and clear her mind.

So Su Weiai's name unconsciously popped into her mind. Whenever she wanted to confide in someone, the first person she thought of was always this person who had quietly stood by her side since childhood.

"Su Weiai."

"Mm... It's Bei Yaoyue. What's the matter?"

Su Weiai's voice sounded obviously somewhat dejected. Bei Yaoyue heard it but didn't want to ask about unrelated matters.

Just like herself now, she also had unpleasant troubles, but she didn't want anyone asking her why she was sad at this moment.

"Are you free this afternoon?"

"Yes."

"Then let's go out for coffee and chat."

"Okay."

Twenty minutes later, Yuhua District, Blue Butterfly Dream Café.

Light blue wallpaper, dark blue sofas, cobalt blue coffee tables, azure blue chandeliers, all complementing each other. Elegant violin music floated in the air. Stepping inside felt like being in a deep azure sea, making one naturally feel inner peace and tranquility.

In this atmosphere, almost everyone consciously lowered their voices, conversing as quietly as possible. No one spoke loudly.

In a corner of the hall, Bei Yaoyue and Su Weiai sat facing each other, chatting.

But calling it chatting, it was basically Su Weiai doing the talking while Bei Yaoyue listened quietly, occasionally responding with a few words.

Due to her personality, Bei Yaoyue really had no talent for conversation and couldn't find topics. Most of the time, she just symbolically chatted a few sentences following others' topics.

After years of interaction, Su Weiai had grown accustomed to this style of conversation with Bei Yaoyue, so she remained cheerful throughout, showing no displeasure.

Looking at the milk art on the Italian latte in her cup—as perfect as Xifeng's smile—Bei Yaoyue couldn't bear to destroy this beauty.

She had clearly come out to forget about Xifeng and clear her mind, yet Bei Yaoyue had accidentally let her figure intrude into her thoughts again, and couldn't drive her away no matter how hard she tried.

"By the way, Bei Yaoyue, let me ask you something."

Su Weiai's voice brought Bei Yaoyue slightly back to attention. She raised her head: "Mm, go ahead."

Looking at the obviously distracted Bei Yaoyue, Su Weiai propped her chin and asked tentatively: "What exactly is the relationship between you and Bei Yaofeng?"

"..."

A flash of panic crossed her eyes, but Bei Yaoyue quickly suppressed it, saying as if nothing had happened: "Sisters, of course. What else could it be?"

"Really?" Su Weiai looked at Bei Yaoyue's expression. "I don't want you to lie to me."

"Mm, of course it's true."

When saying this, Bei Yaoyue's gaze flickered unnaturally, as if she didn't dare look directly at Su Weiai, and her voice clearly lacked confidence.

"Then..."

Gently biting her lip, Su Weiai finally made up her mind. She pulled out the photo of the two kissing that Ye Liqin had sent her this morning and placed her phone in front of Bei Yaoyue.

"This is you and Bei Yaofeng, right?" Su Weiai smiled lightly, trying hard to chase the sadness from her face.

"..."

Just glancing with her peripheral vision, Bei Yaoyue knew what photo it was. She averted her head as if escaping, not speaking.

Although she didn't give a reply, the answer was obvious. In the face of absolute evidence, any excuse would be pale and powerless.

She didn't ask how Su Weiai had obtained this photo. With so many people present at the time, she wouldn't be surprised if the photo had spread across the entire internet.

But Bei Yaoyue didn't regret it. Since she had done it, she wouldn't look back and forth hesitantly.

She couldn't help thinking that Su Weiai must see her as a beast and pervert who wouldn't even spare her own sister.

She had even prepared to be scolded, but Bei Yaoyue never expected that what awaited her wasn't the imagined angry scolding or accusations, but an extremely soft sigh.

"How wonderful."

"...Wonderful?" Bei Yaoyue was stunned. She had imagined several possible reactions from Su Weiai, but never expected such an evaluation.

"Yes."

For some reason, after receiving Bei Yaoyue's personal confirmation, Su Weiai felt much more relaxed, and her tone recovered some of its usual cheerfulness.

She had always been able to see through things and let them go, because she firmly believed in one saying: what's meant to be will be, what's not meant to be shouldn't be forced.

Perhaps it was because of such a broad outlook on life that she could gain friendships and connections beyond ordinary people's reach, but at the same time, she would also lose many things that might have originally belonged to her.

"You have someone you like, and you have the courage to express your feelings. That's something I could never match in my lifetime." Su Weiai said ethereally.

Sensing something wrong, Bei Yaoyue frowned. She vaguely felt that Su Weiai seemed to have hidden meanings in her words, as if hinting at something.

Suddenly, an extremely absurd guess appeared in Bei Yaoyue's mind. Could it be...

"Does Bei Yaofeng like you?" Su Weiai asked again.

Bei Yaoyue looked at Su Weiai's amber eyes covered with a layer of mist, becoming more certain of that guess. For a moment, she didn't dare admit it, but she really couldn't bear to lie about such a question, so she could only nod: "Yes."

"Is that so..." Her eyelashes lowered, Su Weiai tried hard to maintain a steady smile. "I really envy you."

"Envy?"

"I've always felt that having someone you like who also happens to like you back is a person's greatest fortune in life." Lowering her head to stir the foam floating on her cappuccino with a spoon, Su Weiai smiled gently. "Someone who loves you mutually is worth cherishing for a lifetime."

Cherishing for a lifetime...

Hearing these words, Bei Yaoyue found them somewhat ironic. Of course she wanted to, but the current situation was that the other party wasn't willing to give her this opportunity.

"If only I could be as brave as you." As she spoke, Su Weiai's face showed a trace of self-mockery. "I like someone, but I've never had the courage to express my feelings to her. And while I was still hesitating, I've already lost the opportunity forever."

"..." Bei Yaoyue was speechless.

Su Weiai's almost explicit words had laid everything bare, but she was also wise enough not to mention the two people's names, so it wouldn't be too awkward between them.

"So..." Showing a light smile, Su Weiai gently took Bei Yaoyue's small hand, staring at her azure eyes filled with bewilderment. "You must seize the opportunity. Don't be like me, only knowing regret after missing it."

She thought that if she could have made up her mind and gathered courage earlier, perhaps the situation would be very different now.

"Also." Su Weiai's smile grew even brighter. "No matter how the world views you, at least I will always support you."

Bei Yaoyue didn't resist, letting Su Weiai gently hold her hand.

She was surprised to learn that someone had been secretly in love with her all along, and besides surprise, she only felt guilty, because she couldn't respond to Su Weiai's feelings. All the space in her heart had been reserved for another person.

And Su Weiai had perhaps seen this clearly, choosing very calmly to withdraw voluntarily.

Just holding hands—perhaps this was the only compensation she could give Su Weiai.
