Chapter 315 : Liang Ge’s Story 41 (1/2)

For a long time after Liang Ge had been turned by Rui Yi, she appeared rather out of sorts.

The next time she saw Rui Yi was at the wedding ceremony of her Senior and Xi Yin. Their ceremony was very unique.

Within a sea of roses, they stood at the centre of a strange formation. The procedure was both complicated and time-consuming.

Liang Ge was watching the ceremony in a daze, so she hadn’t even noticed when someone came to stand beside her.

“This is the blood contract. Only two vampires who really love each other would form it so that they can share their life and death.”

Liang Ge was startled from her thoughts and subconsciously turned, only to find a perfect profile behind her.

“It’s you…”

Rui Yi looked at her. “You seem to know me from somewhere?”

From the first time they’d met, her eyes were practically screaming this.

She lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.

Just as Liang Ge was preparing to answer, someone in the distance called out to Rui Yi, who turned around and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As the bride’s eldest brother, he had to recite blessings for Shi Sheng and Xi Yin before the ceremony ended.

Liang Ge watched as he recited words of blessing with a solemn and dignified tone, before finally handing Shi Sheng over to Xi Yin with a serious air.

She didn’t see Rui Yi again after the wedding ended.

There were times when Liang Ge wondered whether or not the person she’d once met really had been just a dream. And Rui Yi…just so happened to look like him.

But that dream felt too real—she could still remember all the details.

That year, she was ten.

Because her parents had been busy with their careers, she always went to and from school alone.

On that fateful day, she’d gotten into a dispute with a schoolmate. Because they were very popular, while she usually didn’t speak very much, everyone helped the other person.

In the end, her textbook had been torn up and her clothes dirtied.

Upon returning home, Liang Ge found the babysitter absent and that she hadn’t brought a key with her, so she was locked outside.

She wanted to go to her parents’ company to look for them, but it started raining heavily on the way there.

For some reason, she squatted down and started sobbing, feeling very wronged.

“Why are you crying?”

She could hear someone speak.

Something had blocked the rain from falling on her at some point, as watery curtains streamed down all around her. She lifted her head slightly. With eyes blurred from tears, she saw a very good-looking boy standing beside her, an umbrella in his hands.

“Why are you crying?” The boy asked once more.

Perhaps it was because she felt quite wronged, for her tears —nearly under control—started falling once more. “They tore my textbook.”

The face of the ten-year-old Liang Ge was so fair and tender, like one could squeeze out water of it with a pinch. Thus, her current aggrieved crying would probably pull at the heartstrings of anyone watching.

The boy suddenly squatted down. His face was clearly very clean, but a hint of a wicked smiled played at his lips. “Want to bully them back?”

“C-can I?” Liang Ge foolishly stared at the boy. The cause of the dispute hadn’t been her fault, so she felt very wronged. Hence, when she heard he could bully them back, she immediately forgot about crying.

“Of course. But you’d have to give me something in exchange.” The boy nodded.

“I-I have…” Liang Ge pulled her dirty schoolbag in front of her and rummaged around before pulling out some girls’ toys and presenting them to the boy.

But he merely smiled and shook his head. “That won’t do.”

“Then what do you want?” Liang Ge immediately raised her awareness. She glanced at her surroundings. At some point, it had turned completely deserted, leaving her alone with this boy and the unceasing rain.

“Your blood.” The boy’s eyes seemed filled with starlight as they shone with a brilliance one couldn’t look away from. “Just one mouthful.”
