Chapter 279 : A Rose Wedding 5 (1/2)
Xi Yin was awoken by the scalding sunlight. Only after a long while did he adjust to the light and was able to see his surroundings clearly.
‘What is this place? Last night…I remember I met that woman who said she took a liking to me again.’
Xi Yin sat up. The soft fabric against his skin caused him to look down to check. Though the style was simple…it couldn’t hide the fact this was a woman’s nightgown. And the type with spaghetti straps at that…
Xi Yin, “…”
‘Who changed my clothes? That woman from yesterday?’
He felt around his waist. His briefs were still there. With a dark face, he surveyed his surroundings. This was quite obviously a girl’s bedroom. Well, apart from the coffin and two coffin lid halves sitting in the corner…
He was almost certain that this place belonged to that female vampire from last night; the scent was the same.
‘She actually took my clothes off without my permission! And made me wear…THESE! Where are my clothes?!’
His gaze suddenly fixed onto the painting in the room.
The swathe of roses appeared to have been dyed in blood. The child in the painting appeared to be trapped by the roses, unable to break free, unable to escape.
He stared at it for a moment before shutting his eyes and turning away.
The burning sensation on his back was uncomfortable, but the clothes he was wearing right now made him feel even worse. Xi Yin got off the bed and tugged the sheets off to cover himself up with. He opened the door and exited the room. In the corridor outside the room, all the other doors were tightly shut.
Thump! Thump! The sounds of footsteps coming from the direction of the stairs could be heard. Xi Yin lifted his head to have a look. A young girl was panting as she ran up.
‘It’s not her.’
Liang Ge and Xi Yin’s gazes met, whereupon a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. ‘What a pretty young man. But…why is he only covered in bedsheets?’
Thinking of what her Senior had entrusted her with, Liang Ge’s face turned even redder. She looked at Xi Yin as though she was at a loss on what to do. “Er… Senior Mi Nai told me to come deliver some clothes.”
Xi Yin’s gaze lowered and saw the bag she was holding.
‘That Mi Nai she’s referring to…is that woman?’
Liang Ge carefully moved forward to hand Xi Yin the bag. “Uh, I still have class so… Please help me inform Senior. I’ll be leaving first. En, I’ll help Senior ask for the day off.”
Once Liang Ge had finished, she ran downstairs with a bright red face. Xi Yin examined the clothes in the bag. They were all from the same brand.
He turned around and returned to the room just in time to see a certain someone hop in through the window. She cast him a glance before speaking calmly, “You’re awake. Have you received the clothes yet?”
“You changed my clothes for me?” Xi Yin’s grip on the bag tightened.
“Who else? Did you think you were in any state to change ’em yourself?” Shi Sheng rolled her eyes.
“What did you do to me?”
‘She changed my clothes…which means…she saw my body…’
Shi Sheng’s gaze fell to his waist. “I was planning on doing something to you. But you had to have a reaction first ah!”
Xi Yin didn’t react for a time, but once he did, he immediately used the bag to cover up his front.
“Your actions are enough for you to die several times over.” He stared at Shi Sheng as he enunciated.
Shi Sheng scoffed, “I say, at least think about your current situation before using threats. Right now I could beat you with one hand.”
‘People have to lower their heads when in other people’s territory, ya know?’
Xi Yin, “…”
Shi Sheng placed several items onto the table, her tone casual as she spoke, “Come take a look. See if any of these are useful.”
Xi Yin cast his gaze on the table, his eyes narrowing as he felt his heart move slightly. ‘These…aren’t easy to get a hold of. How did she get them?’
Only after a moment of silence did he speak, “It’s useless. My wound isn’t a normal one.”
“Oh.” Shi Sheng tossed the items into the bin beside Xi Yin, causing his eyelid to twitch. ‘How casual… Just like how she said she took a liking to me last night.’
