Chapter 287 : A Rose Wedding 13 (2/2)

‘Sincerity… What sincerity? If I was ugly, would she still chase after me like this?’

Xi Yin’s attitude to Shi Sheng was just as cold as before, though that didn’t deter her from continuing to court him.

For a period of time, people from the BHA would appear in their vicinity every now and then. Their purpose was probably to keep tabs on Shi Sheng and Xi Yin.

As for the person who died, the BHA had used some unknown means to convince his family to not cause a scene.

The case with humans being bit still had no leads. The BHA were still in the midst of a tense investigation.

And it seemed like the leads were in the middle of a cold war. On the other hand, Sikong Sa and Ai Wei’s relationship was developing rather smoothly. Shi Sheng would catch sight of the two of them acting lovey-dovey every so often.

Of course, she’d also always catch sight of Zuo Lie standing in the distance, watching their public displays of affection with a foul expression.

Shi Sheng wasn’t in the same class as Ai Wei. As long as they didn’t deliberately look for each other, they wouldn’t cross paths all that often.

Recently, Shi Sheng had been busy dealing with Xi Yin. Hence, to avoid any unnecessary trouble that would waste her time, she’d avoid the FL when she could.

……

Xi Yin woke up in the middle of the night because of the sounds coming from outside his room. He furrowed his brows. ‘What’s that woman up to in the middle of the night?’

Tossing aside his blanket and getting off the bed, he walked over to the door where he suddenly stopped. ‘Her scent’s very strong.’

He opened the door and left the room. The entire corridor was filled with her scent. The door to her room was wide open.

Her scent was coming from downstairs. Xi Yin made his way down. None of the lights in the living room were on, but he could just vaguely make out the silhouette of a person curled up on the sofa.

His heart leapt in his chest. It had already been two months since she’d last fed.

“Xi Yin?”

“En.” Xi Yin lightly responded, walking around the sofa to draw closer to her.

“I’m really hungry.” Shi Sheng sat up on the sofa and tilted her head up to look at the person in front of her, her eyes glittering with a faint blue light.

She hadn’t felt hungry ever since drinking the substance Xi Yin gave her the other time. But today, the hunger returned stronger than ever.

Xi Yin silently rolled up his sleeve and placed his arm in front of Shi Sheng’s mouth. “Drink.”

Shi Sheng wanted to take a bite but couldn’t bring herself to do it. She shrunk backwards. “That thing from before…”

“It’s too late to buy it now.” Xi Yin interrupted her. He then fell silent before continuing, “And drinking too much of that isn’t good for you.”

He had only been probing her then…

He hadn’t expected her to really drink it.

Now that they had this relationship, he naturally couldn’t allow her to drink that substance again.

“I think I’ll just wait it out.” ‘Really can’t accept drinking blood.’

“You should head back.” Shi Sheng curled up in a corner of the sofa.

Xi Yin didn’t know why she holding back. If she dared to do that, he didn’t see why she was so hesitant about drinking some blood.

‘Forget it. It’s her problem if she doesn’t want to drink.’

He withdrew his hand and turned around to head back upstairs.

The living room soon turned silent once more.

Shi Sheng scratched at the sofa. ‘Just what’s with this damned setting… So hungry! So very hungry!’

Shi Sheng felt like her stomach was convulsing with hunger. The only thing left in her mind was blood. ‘What a tasty scent…’

It was coming from outside.

‘Wanna drink…’

Shi Sheng clambered up from the sofa and made to walk out the door. But just as she was about to open it, she was suddenly pulled by someone from behind and spun around so that she was pushed against the door.

“You’d rather torment yourself than drink my blood, hm?” A low, hoarse voice spoke beside her ear, bringing her back to her senses.

She shook her head, answering weakly, “I don’t like blood.”

‘Drinking that… I can’t accept it.’

“Ha…”

‘How could there be such a thing as a vampire that doesn’t drink blood?’

“I’ll give you one more chance. Are you really not drinking?” Xi Yin placed his hand in front of Shi Sheng’s mouth.

She turned her head to look away. ‘Not drinking even if you beat me to death!’
