Fengguang shot him a sideways glance. “Whatever—do what you want.”
Yan Bai scratched his head awkwardly and asked, “My lady, class starts in one minute. Aren’t you in a hurry?”
“One minute?” Fengguang pulled out her phone to check the time. “You’re right—there’s only one minute left! Hey, why aren’t you panicking?”
Yan Bai blinked in confusion. “One minute is more than enough time for me. Why would I need to rush?”
Fengguang pressed a hand to her forehead. She’d forgotten—his special talent was speed.
“My lady… are you not going to make it in time?”
She glared at him. “Obviously.”
It’s not like she could run at super speed.
“Well…” Yan Bai suggested timidly, “How about I carry you to class?”
Fengguang nodded without hesitation.
In the end, thanks to Yan Bai acting as a human taxi, they reached the classroom three seconds before the bell rang.
He was considerate enough to avoid gossip—he put her down before they entered the room. But when the two of them walked in together, Situ You, who was sitting in the last row, let out a teasing “Oh?” He said, “The proud young lady of the Xia family actually showed up with Yan Bai, the biggest coward around. Now that’s a rare sight.”
Yan Bai lowered his head and silently went to his seat.
Fengguang’s gaze didn’t miss Zeng Xue sitting beside Situ You. With her arms folded, Fengguang mimicked his tone. “Haven’t seen you in a few days, Young Master Situ. Looks like you’ve got yourself a human girlfriend now?”
The word “girlfriend” made Zeng Xue blush instantly—and made Situ You fly into a rage. “Xia Fengguang, watch your mouth! I keep this woman by my side because her blood tastes good. She’s just my servant, not my girlfriend.”
“Then she’s not,” Fengguang replied casually. “Why are you getting so worked up?” Seeing the teacher walk in, she grabbed an empty seat in the back row. She glanced at the crestfallen Zeng Xue and reminded herself not to meddle. Since Situ You had taken Zeng Xue under his wing, it meant the story was back on track—she didn’t need to worry about the female lead’s safety anymore.
Because of the recent incidents and the many students still recovering from injuries, the classroom was only half full. The remaining students looked exhausted and dispirited. Every one of them still had to undergo questioning by both the Elders’ Council and the Hunters’ Association. The Council was one thing, but no one wanted to deal with the Hunters—not out of fear, but because putting two opposing groups in the same room made everyone tense.
After a dull math class, Fengguang noticed students filing out of the room. She called to Yan Bai nearby, “Is school over already?”
Yan Bai knew she must have come without checking the schedule—he could tell from the fact that she didn’t even have any books. He explained, “Next period is P.E., so everyone’s heading to the field.”
“Wait… there’s outdoor P.E. at night?”
Yan Bai looked puzzled. “Why wouldn’t there be?”
Alright then—apparently the A Division’s curriculum was the same as the B Division’s. Fengguang had always attended human schools before, and now that she was in a vampire school for the first time, she was still figuring out how things worked.
She followed the girls to the locker room, secretly hoping she could skip class since she hadn’t brought any athletic clothes. But once inside, she found a locker with her name on it. When she opened it, there was a brand-new uniform inside, along with a milk bottle filled with red liquid—and a straw placed neatly beside it.
