Chapter 315 : Liang Ge’s Story 41 (2/2)
“Blood?” Liang Ge looked at her arm. “But…it’ll hurt a lot.”
“No it won’t.” The boy suddenly neared her. “I know magic. It won’t hurt at all. If you let me drink a mouthful of your blood, I’ll help you teach those bullies a lesson. It’s a fair trade.”
Liang Ge bit her lip. After a lengthy consideration, she actually nodded.
Thinking back on it now, perhaps the reason why she hadn’t felt guarded against him was because he had been too good-looking.
He moved closer to her. She could feel something cold and sharp press against her neck. Before she had time to feel fear, pain numbed her nerves.
She could hear the distinct sounds of slurping and gulping. He had definitely taken more than a mouthful of blood.
Soon though, she felt excitement bubble up.
When he released her, she rubbed her neck and found no wound there. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him. “You’re a vampire, aren’t you? Vampires really exist!”
The boy appeared to have been caught off guard by her reaction. At that moment, he had probably been wondering whether or not he’d scared her silly. For his expression was so priceless, it still brought a smile to Liang Ge’s face whenever she recalled it.
The boy really did help her teach the bullies a lesson.
But being drenched while suffering from blood loss caused her to come down with a fever the moment she got home. By the time she woke up, the memories of that period had gone a bit fuzzy. She asked her parents whether or not they’d seen a very good-looking big brother. She even told them he was a vampire.
But her parents thought it had just been the fever speaking. They told her vampires weren’t real, that it had just been a dream.
They felt very guilty about this. Ever since then, no matter how busy her parents were, they would always make sure at least one of them made time to care for her.
Liang Ge didn’t believe her parents, but she really never saw that guy again. It was as if it really had been just a dream. A dream that she had met the vampire she liked the most.
“You seem a bit off lately. Want to talk to me about it?”
Liang Ge turned to look at the person who was walking towards her. She jumped off the windowsill and softly called out to her, “Senior.”
“Does it have something to do with Rui Yi?”
Liang Ge nodded hesitantly. She’d kept this to herself for too long. Now that Shi Sheng was asking, Liang Ge soon told her everything.
After hearing Liang Ge’s story, Shi Sheng merely smiled and patted her head. “Then you must’ve gotten it wrong; Rui Yi never left the territories before, because he’s the eldest and thus wasn’t allowed to.”
A hint of disappointment flashed in Liang Ge’s eyes. ‘I got it wrong after all?’
“But Rui Yi had a younger brother called Rui Xue… I don’t know if he’s the one you met, but he’s already dead.”
‘Rui Xue…
That’s right! That guy told me before…his name was Rui Xue.’
Rui Xue as in timely snow[1].
“How…how did he die?” ‘Such a good-looking guy is dead?’
Shi Sheng shook her head. “I don’t know. Godfather never told me, and Rui Yi never talked about it. Never mention this matter to Rui Yi, understand?”
Liang Ge dumbly nodded.
“Gotta look towards the future. Rui Yi’s pretty good.”
Liang Ge’s face turned red. “Senior, what are you talking about?”
“Nothing.” Shi Sheng laughed as she left.
In actual fact, Shi Sheng knew the reason why Rui Xue had died.
Rui Xue had only just come of age when he sneaked out of the territories. By the time Ke Er and Rui Yi found him, he was already dead. He’d died at the hands of vampire hunters.
No one knew what had really happened.
But Shi Sheng reckoned she shouldn’t tell Liang Ge this.
[1] The original was 瑞雪 which according to google translate means timely snow. Because in Chinese, a bunch of words with different meanings have the same pronunciation, they usually clarify which character their name is by attaching another word that will help the listener identify. This case was a bit confusing because the same example was used for both characters so I cut it down so it wouldn’t confuse you.
