After resting in his arms for a while and regaining her strength, she leaned in and planted a hard kiss on his cheek. “Honey, I’m going to class now.”
Without waiting for him to respond, she ran out of the room without a trace of reluctance.
Ming’an sat cross-legged on the bed and let out a deep sigh. “What a heartless little girl.”
She’d just abandoned him like that. Was studying really more important than he was?
A faint rustling came from the tree outside the window. The corner of his eyes lifted slightly as he let out a soft, drawn-out “Oh?” The rising tone was inexplicably alluring. He smiled. Though the smile was handsome, it was far from friendly—there was a chilling darkness hidden beneath it.
“It’s just a dog, and it dares to covet what’s mine.”
The entire room turned icy.
Fengguang had no idea that a werewolf had slipped in and been quietly dealt with by her man. She was hurrying toward class now. After her earlier entanglement with Ming’an, she was about to be late. It wasn’t that she was afraid of the teacher—she just didn’t want to walk in after class had already started and give Situ You that jerk a reason to laugh at her.
Halfway there, she ran into Yan Bai, who was strolling along casually, nibbling on a chocolate bar.
Yan Bai turned around and jumped when he saw her. Instinctively, he held out the chocolate in his hand. “My lady, would you like some?”
“No.” She refused without hesitation. She used to like chocolate, but now the only thing she could stomach was Ming’an’s blood. Then she asked curiously, “Don’t vampires usually hate human food? Why do you like it?”
“That’s probably because… maybe a quarter of my blood is human,” Yan Bai said shyly. “And Xiaoxiao really likes chocolate. If she likes something, I want to try my best to like it too.”
Fengguang’s expression changed immediately. She had always thought Yan Bai was timid and weak, but she hadn’t expected him to seem so charming when talking about someone he liked.
Since they had run into each other, she walked with him. “So how are things between you and Chu Xiaoxiao now?”
“About the same… Xiaoxiao may act as if she hates me, but she always secretly takes care of me.” Yan Bai’s face turned red. “After all, I’m useless. She’s always the one worrying about me.”
“But she’s willing to worry about you. I wouldn’t have guessed—Chu Xiaoxiao looks so cold on the outside, but she’s actually pretty good to you.”
“My lady, Xiaoxiao is really a good person. Last time, when she sent us to the principal’s office to be punished, it was actually because she was afraid you might find out about us and report it to the Council. That’s why she acted so cold.” Yan Bai looked at Fengguang sincerely. “Thank you for not exposing us.”
“I’m not some gossip,” Fengguang said. Besides, her situation wasn’t much different from Yan Bai’s. The only difference was that he and Chu Xiaoxiao were still too nervous to truly take that step, while she and Ming’an had already gone several rounds long ago.
Yan Bai smiled brightly. He already had a handsome face, and when he smiled, he looked especially adorable. “Everyone says you’re hard to approach, my lady, but I think you’re a good person.”
“Stop calling me ‘my lady.’ It sounds weird.” Fengguang said, “Just call me by my name from now on.”
“No, no! Your status is higher than mine. I can’t be disrespectful!”
Kid, the monarchy’s been gone for ages!
