Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 67 : Unexpected Turn

Carrying Xifeng's unbelievably light body in a princess carry and placing her on the bed, He Pingge felt irrepressible heartache. She felt Xifeng was like a feather that could be blown away by any slightly stronger wind.

Clearly already a fourteen-year-old girl, yet her weight was less than that of a somewhat sturdy eight or nine-year-old child. With such poor physical condition, Xifeng must have many inconveniences in daily life.

He Pingge gently removed Xifeng's dress, covered her with a blanket, and tucked in the four corners, afraid of waking the sleeping Xifeng.

Looking at Xifeng's delicate nose and pink cheeks flushed from alcohol, He Pingge almost couldn't resist the urge to secretly steal a kiss, but she shook her head and drove all inappropriate impulses from her mind.

Kissing was something only lovers could do. At least until Xifeng agreed to establish a relationship with her, she wouldn't do anything inappropriate. This was also a kind of personal principle for her.

This was both respect for Xifeng and respect for herself.

"Xifeng, wait for me. I'll come find you in half a month."

Speaking softly, He Pingge took one last deep look at Xifeng, then turned and left the room.

Crescent City Tianshui International Airport.

Standing at the security checkpoint entrance, He Pingge turned and waved to Ji You.

"Be careful on the road." Ji You also waved at her. "Don't let today's events affect your mood. The college entrance exam is your most important thing right now. I believe you can do it."

"Mm-hmm, see you in half a month." He Pingge replied with a smile, then turned and entered the security checkpoint.

Watching He Pingge's figure disappear into the crowd, Ji You slowly showed a meaningful smile and muttered to himself: "Summer is coming. The lilies in my hometown should be blooming soon too, right?"

Sitting in her airplane seat, He Pingge tried hard to adjust her mindset, but no matter what, she couldn't return her mood to normal.

Accompanied by the sudden increase in engine noise, the plane began accelerating. After more than ten seconds, a feeling of weightlessness struck, and the plane broke free from gravity's constraints, soaring into the sky.

She turned to look out the window. Through a layer of glass, Crescent City in her view became smaller and smaller. The high-rise buildings gradually turned into small black dots, until finally the plane flew above the clouds, leaving only a vast expanse of white in her view.

He Pingge leaned back in her chair and slowly closed her eyes.

She had come to Crescent City happily, but was returning with a heavy heart.

Spending time alone with Xifeng after not seeing her for so long, she had thought this would be a pleasant journey, but unexpectedly, fate was constantly playing tricks on her.

She had arrived just one step too late. Missing this chance might mean missing it for a lifetime.

With this departure, it was like releasing a tiger back to the mountains. How things would develop between Xifeng and Bei Yaoyue, she didn't know and couldn't interfere at all.

All she could do was wait and hope.

The wild geese fly high, so distant and hard to find; my heart breaks in vain with melancholy thoughts.

So cold... so painful...

When Xifeng woke up, only these two sensations remained in her mind, rampaging through her consciousness like two demon kings.

The cold spreading throughout her body was like standing naked outdoors in the depths of winter, making Xifeng's body begin to shiver frantically. At the same time, earth-shaking pain from her head made her clutch her head in agony, her body curling up in pain. Her heartbeat was as fast as a glass marble bouncing rapidly before hitting the ground, her entire chest feeling so stuffy it might explode at any moment.

"Mmm..."

Cold and pain combined, assaulting Xifeng's taut nerves. Suffering crept across her cute face as she unconsciously clenched her teeth.

Forcefully wrapping the blanket tighter around herself, Xifeng tried to draw warmth from the thin blanket, but her body seemed to have lost the ability to generate heat. Even with her entire body wrapped in the blanket, she still felt unbearably cold.

"Where is this?"

Muttering to herself quietly, Xifeng struggled to open her eyes, using her somewhat blurred vision to observe her surroundings.

Soon, she discovered this was her own bedroom. By her count, she hadn't lived here for just two weeks, but now it already felt somewhat unfamiliar.

She tried to get up from the bed, but found her body was as stiff as if it had been frozen for three days and nights in ice and snow. Even sitting up was extremely difficult, let alone getting out of bed.

"...?"

Xifeng struggled to find her phone from beside the pillow. Unlocking the screen, it showed it was now 9 PM.

Her memory still stopped at desperately drinking and pouring her heart out at noon. She remembered nothing after that. Thinking about it now, perhaps after she got drunk, Ji You and He Pingge had sent her home.

All this wasn't hard to understand. The splitting headache felt exactly like the feeling the day after a hangover, but the bone-chilling cold spreading throughout her body and the muscle stiffness that accompanied the severe headache left Xifeng completely puzzled.

But Xifeng's brain was obviously fine. Although she didn't know the specific situation, she could be certain that something was seriously wrong with her body.

Instinctively, Xifeng wanted to call 120, but after entering those three numbers, she suddenly felt like an idiot.

She was no longer that sunny youth Jiang Feng. Now, as a vampire, going to the hospital would be little different from walking into a trap.

Moreover, as a creature that shouldn't exist, Xifeng believed that absolutely no one in this world would understand vampire physiology. Even if she risked being discovered by going to the hospital, whether the doctors could cure her illness was still questionable.

Thinking of this, Xifeng helplessly realized that aside from toughing it out, there didn't seem to be any good solutions.

Because she was really too cold to bear, she picked up the air conditioner remote from beside the bed, turned on heating mode, and set the temperature to 30 degrees.

Xifeng hesitated about whether to tell Bei Yaoyue, but after brief consideration, she decided against it.

She didn't think Bei Yaoyue could really provide any practical useful help, so she didn't want Bei Yaoyue to worry unnecessarily about her.

Moreover, she had just requested that they separate and calm down for a while. How could she now ask Bei Yaoyue to come take care of her?

Xifeng opened the status bar in the system.

"[Status]:

Satiety: 9.7%

Health: 4.5%

Mood: 8.7%

Shame: 2.2%

Sensitivity: 28.3%

Arousal: 2.7%"

The various data obtained from the system gave Xifeng quite a shock. Looking at all the numbers in the system, five out of six didn't exceed double digits—this was a first. And the only one as high as 28% was actually sensitivity, an attribute she found hard to look at directly.

And that health at only 4.5% was truly alarming.
