When Ming Shu woke up, it was already evening the next day .
There was no light in her apartment . The thick curtains prevented any light from entering .
Tong Ye sat beside her and looked at her worriedly . When he saw her waking up, he heaved a sigh of relief . “You finally woke up . ”
Ming Shu scanned her surroundings . “How long did I sleep?”
“You slept from yesterday night till this evening…” Tong Ye looked at the time . “It’s 6 PM now . What did you do? Why did you faint suddenly? Vampires can fall sick? Did you eat expired food? Did Angel Song sell fake blood?”
Tong Ye bombarded her with a series of questions .
Ming Shu sat up and raised her hands . Then, she clenched them into fists . “I seem to be stronger than before . ”
“What?”
“Power . ”
Tong Ye: “…”
Tong Ye touched Ming Shu’s forehead . “You don’t have a fever . Why are you talking nonsense?”
Ming Shu slapped his hand away . “My power really increased . ”
“Why are you talking gibberish after you wake up? Don’t scare me . ”
A vampire’s power increased steadily over the years . No one could suddenly become powerful within one night .
Is she dreaming?
Ming Shu didn’t want to argue with him . She changed the topic . “Where is Su Mian?”
Tong Ye pointed outside . “He just went to rest…”
Tong Ye tried to stop her, but Ming Shu rushed out . She saw Su Mian sleeping on the sofa . She stood at the stairs and stared at him for a while before returning to her room .
“Su Mian called me and said that you fainted . He couldn’t give me any other information . What on earth happened?”
Ming Shu shook her head . “Nothing . I might have eaten too much tonic . ”
“Are you sure?” The little ancestor looked weird today .
Ming Shu raised her hands to show that her body was normal .
Tong Ye observed her . She seemed fine . He touched his chin and said, “Is there something wrong with the blood from Angel Song?”
Ming Shu: “…”
Tong Ye didn’t suspect anything . “I told you that you shouldn’t eat too much . Humans get sick if they eat too much . We are the same . We have all kinds of viruses in our blood too . ”
Ming Shu interrupted Tong Ye . “Help me check Su Mian’s background . I want all the information about him from the time he was born till now . ”
“Why do you want to investigate him? Have you watched too much television and think that he is a secretly rich second generation?” Tong Ye asked .
“Just do what I tell you . ”
“Fine, fine, fine . You’re the boss . ” Tong Ye was still worried . “Are you really okay?”
“Yes,” Ming Shu promised .
She finally managed to send Tong Ye away .
“Oh, you brought him to Angel Song yesterday so it will be good if you put your mark on him . Other vampires might harass him in order to take revenge on you . ”
Tong Ye wanted to tell her to stay away from this human, but based on her character, she would not do it . Hence, he decided to swallow his words .
Also, Su Mian stayed beside her for the entire night . He went out an hour before she woke up because he couldn’t stay awake any longer .
He didn’t know what happened between them, so he should just let them handle their own matters .
Ming Shu turned serious . “Yes, I know . ”
She closed the door and looked at the person on the sofa .
Yesterday, she made her mark on him… If Tong Ye didn’t remind her, she wouldn’t have noticed that his mark disappeared .
His blood .
Ming Shu could feel her power increasing by stages .
In the past, Fu Yu was fearful of the princes . Now… she felt that she didn’t need to be afraid of them anymore based on her strength .
She was stronger than them now .
Of course, personally, she was never afraid of anything .
Was Su Mian’s blood like Tang Priest’s blood? Was she able to become stronger after drinking it?
Ming Shu walked toward the sofa . There were eyebags under Su Mian’s eyes . He seemed to be having a troubled sleep .
Ming Shu took a thin blanket and placed it on Su Mian . Then, she crossed her legs and sat on the floor .
Su Mian’s eyes fluttered open .
He sat up immediately . “You’re awake?”
“Yes . ”
Su Man sized her up . He sounded anxious . “What happened… why did you faint? I didn’t dare to send you to the hospital so I called Tong Ye with your cellphone…”
When she fainted, his mind went blank .
He tried to tell himself that he was worried about her because he needed her .
However, when Tong Ye came and told him that there was nothing wrong with her body, he started to have many different thoughts .
The question that Tong Ye asked him kept flashing through his mind .
Did he like her?
Why?
They were not close and based on his personality, he would not like someone he just met .
Before, he could still tell himself that he needed her .
But now, he knew that she was not the only vampire in the world . Why did he still want to stay beside her?
The only reason he could think of was—he liked her .
He really liked her .
He liked her for no reason .
“I’m fine . I might be having indigestion . ” Ming Shu pushed him back onto the sofa . “Continue sleeping . ”
“You…”
“Shut up, close your eyes and sleep . ”
Su Mian felt that he needed to calm down . He closed his eyes and lay still . He slowed down his breathing and tried his best to get some rest .
However, he couldn’t . She was beside him . He couldn’t fall asleep .
Su Mian felt something cold on his wrist . Someone was holding his wrist .
It felt unfamiliar but it calmed him .
He turned and opened his eyes . Ming Shu didn’t feel awkward when she noticed that he saw what she was doing . She held it tighter .
Su Mian asked instinctively, “Do you want to join me?”
“Are you inviting me?”
“I think so…” Su Mian almost slapped himself . What the hell are you saying?
Ming Shu instantly lifted the blanket and lay beside him .
Su Mian: “…”
Did you accept just like this?
What happened to self-control?
Shameless!
Su Mian was forced to move a bit . At the start, Ming Shu lay beside him . He felt uncomfortable and made to hug Ming Shu instead .
He said, “You haven’t told me why you kiss me yesterday . ”
“Ritual,” Ming Shu replied seriously .
“… When you bit Liu Wanyue, you didn’t kiss her!”
“The ritual for males and females is different . ” Ming Shu remained calm .
“Oh . ” Su Mian smiled . “I thought that you liked me . ”
“You are thinking too much . To me, humans are just food . ”
Kill her!
Su Mian didn’t know when he fell asleep . However, he had a good sleep .
Ming Shu waited for him to fall asleep before moving her body . She looked at his neck .
The area where she bit him yesterday was slightly pink .
She smiled . She leaned over and opened her mouth…
The moment her fangs touched his skin, she retracted them . The bite seemed like a kiss .
