Feng Nianen spent the rest of his time in front of his desk.
Li Zilin's collection of information was very comprehensive, from the first generation vampire Cain to the most ancient blood kin in the legend, methuselah. From this information, Feng Nianen finally understood what the Camarila treaty was.
However, although the information was complete, it was not completely accurate. At least vampires did not have a heartbeat, could not come into contact with sunlight, and could not eat ordinary food.
Just as he was about to finish reading the information in one go, the alarm clock rang, reminding him that it was time to pick up Zhang Hanwen.
If he didn't want to be late, he had to get ready to leave now.
He stood up, put away the documents, changed his clothes, and walked out of the room.
Zhang Hanwen's residence wasn't far from his residence. This arrangement was made to ensure that he could be called at any time.
He quickly went downstairs to Zhang Hanwen's residence and dialed his phone to inform her that he had driven the car out of the garage.
Five minutes later, a slender figure walked over briskly. She was wearing a black leather jacket, bright red skin-tight leather pants, and a pair of red leather boots. Her red hair made her beautiful face look even more energetic.
She sat beside him and looked at him with a picky expression.
"Why is it this one again? I've seen it three times this year."
"Is that so?" He quickly looked down at his clothes.
Zhang Hanwen had always been particular about his clothes. Not only did he have to dress according to the occasion, but he also couldn't bear to see him always wearing the same clothes. Therefore, he would usually carefully stagger his clothes. However, in his panic today, he forgot that this combination had appeared for the third time this year.
"Forget it." Zhang Hanwen snapped his fingers." Let's go to Zhongshan Road first. I haven't bought you spring clothes this year."”
"No need, my clothes are enough.”
She had given him all his clothes for the past three years.
She glared at him." I'm the one who's losing face when you're dressed like this! I don't need you to spend money, so what's the point?”
At the mention of money, Feng Nianen looked at her hesitantly.
"What's the matter?" Sensing his strange gaze, she turned to look at him.
"Hmm…"
"What do you mean by 'uh'? A man has something to do. Why are you stuttering?”
"If it's possible, can I ask Miss to advance my salary?”He took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the steering wheel as he quickly finished speaking in one breath.
Zhang Hanwen rested his chin on his hand and looked straight at him. Feng Nianen's face quickly turned red.
"You have a girlfriend?"
"No, no."
"Then what do you want the money for?"
"I…I have a friend. He's been in a bit of trouble recently, so he asked me to borrow ten thousand yuan.”
"You should have 10,000 yuan, right? I don't think you can spend that much normally. Don't tell me you gave all the money to Uncle Feng.”
"It's better to keep it for Dad so that I don't spend it carelessly.”
"You're just wasting it?" Zhang Hanwen sneered." Let's go and get the money now."”
"Thank you, Miss."
"Thank you for what? Do you think this money is given to you for nothing? I'll deduct it from your salary."
Feng Nianen started the engine. As soon as the car started, Zhang Hanwen suddenly asked,""What friend?"
"What?"
"I asked you which friend wanted to borrow money from you. I've never heard of you having any friends.”
"Yes, an old friend. He's studying in another city.”
"You met him in your hometown?"
"Yes."
"Very close?"
"Yes, I am."
"A girl?"
"No."
" Oh..." Zhang Hanwen replied. He leaned back in his seat and didn't say anything else.
When they arrived at Zhongshan Road, Feng Nianen went to park the car. When he came back, Zhang Hanwen had already taken the money out. The two of them then entered a specialty store.
Although Zhang Hanwen had a lot of clothes, he was still very straightforward when it came to buying clothes. In less than half an hour, not only did she choose a suit and two casual clothes for Feng Nianen, but she also added a long dress and two hats for herself.
Even though he had been accompanying Zhang Hanwen to bars and other places for the past three years, Feng Nianen still couldn't get used to this place. The loud music, the dazzling lights, the men and women dancing, and the strange smell of smoke and perfume were all things that he couldn't get used to growing up in a quiet village.
As usual, he sat in front of the counter and watched Zhang Hanwen, quietly drinking a liqueur called Campari Soda.
He drank it painfully because the color of the wine was as dark red as dried blood.
When he saw the bartender make a glass of this wine for another customer, he couldn't help but order it. The only consolation was that this wine didn't taste like blood, but had a sweet bitterness.
He stared blankly at the cup. Even now, he was still attracted by the scarlet color.
You have to suck 800 milliliters of blood every ten days.
Lan Ya's clear voice rang out in his ears once again.
Before seeing this glass of wine, he had always thought that he could overcome this, especially after discovering that he could eat normally like ordinary people. He had even thought that if he didn't drink blood, he wouldn't be a complete vampire.
But now, he began to suspect that if he couldn't even resist a glass of scarlet liquid, how could he resist blood?
"Bloody Mary, two cups."
A clear voice pulled him back to his senses. Feng Nianen looked up and saw Lan Ya nodding at him.
" You…" He was shocked." The Prince promised me!”
"Don't worry, boy." Lan Ya smiled." This was completely an accident. I didn't come for you.”
Feng Nianen looked at him suspiciously, then exhaled." I'm sorry. I was too nervous."”
"There's nothing to be sorry about. I was really surprised when I heard that you weren't willing to join us!”He chuckled." But I should teach Cang Ya a lesson so that he doesn't think he can do whatever he wants just because the prince favors him.”
Feng Nianen didn't say anything.
" That guy…" Lan Ya shook her head and continued," He thinks that everything in the world has to go according to his wishes. Your refusal to join is a big blow to him. For this, I have to buy you a drink."”As he spoke, he pushed the Bloody Mary to Feng Nianen.
It was a rich red color, sticky and bright. It was as if even the tomato smell had turned into blood that emitted a fatal temptation.
Feng Nianen looked at the low-waisted Brandy glass in front of him and could not help but gasp. He suddenly felt unusually thirsty, as if he had not eaten for many days, and the thing in front of him was his only food. If he did not drink it immediately, it would disappear, and he would be hungry forever...
His fingers moved, but when they were about to touch the wine glass, he suddenly retracted them. He closed his eyes and shook his head desperately.
"No, I don't want this!"
"Don't you want it?" Lan Ya whispered in his ear," Then open your eyes and look at it, then tell me you don't want it.”
"I don't want to!"
"Open your eyes, open your eyes and tell me that you don't want it. If you can't even do this, how can I believe that you really don't want it?”
Feng Nianen opened his eyes and bit his lips hard. Blood flowed into his mouth through his pale teeth, and he shivered. "I, don't, want!"
Lan Ya chuckled." You have perseverance, boy.”He finished the wine in front of Feng Nianen in one gulp." I hope you can be as persistent in five days. Then, we might be able to see the first vampire who starved to death voluntarily."”
"I can eat normal food!" He growled.
"Is that so? Oh, of course, we can eat ordinary food, or else we wouldn't have a big meal every ten days.”
" You mean…" Feng Nianen looked at him in confusion." If I eat more ordinary food, I won't need to drink those things?"”
Lan Ya couldn't help but laugh." There aren't many fat people in the Blood Clan, but even if you feed yourself like Simkos, you still can't avoid the feast that comes once every ten days. Enjoy it to your heart's content. Boy, you've drunk that stuff before. Even in a coma, your body should still remember the sweet taste.”
Feng Nianen gritted his teeth and downed the Kembali Soda in his glass. Yes, he remembered. It was because he remembered that he couldn't resist this scarlet color.
" But..." Lan Ya whispered into his ear, and a cool and bitter smell like absinthe immediately overshadowed the rich smell in the bar. "However, if a virgin is willing to shed tears of sincerity for you, perhaps you can become a human again.”
Feng Nianen suddenly raised his head." The tears of a virgin? Are you saying that a virgin's tears can change me back?”
Lan Ya raised her eyebrows." What? Did I say something just now?"
"You…you said that if I can get the tears of a virgin, I can change back.”
"Oh? What did I say?" He finished another glass of Bloody Mary." Did I say that?”
"You said it! I heard you clearly!" Feng Nianen growled.
"Then you must have heard wrongly." He shrugged, threw down two hundred-yuan bills, and got up to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Feng Nianen immediately chased after him." Speak clearly!”
He followed Lan Ya to the dance floor and was about to pull him when he saw Lan Ya's shoulder tilt and cleverly go behind a man. Feng Nianen pushed the man away and looked up. Lan Ya was no longer there. He hurriedly ran to the door and looked around. There was no one on the street at night.
"Did someone come out just now?" He looked around and asked the security guard beside him.
"No, sir, no one came out.”
He returned to the dance floor, his head swelling as he tried to identify each face under the dazzling, swaying lights.
"What are you looking for?" Zhang Hanwen looked at him in surprise.
"No, no, I'm not looking for anything."
Feng Nianen's gaze scanned the dance floor. In the end, he could only hang his head and walk back to the bar counter unwillingly.
"Anything else, sir?"
"The tears of a virgin." He muttered absentmindedly.
"What? What did you say? The tears of a virgin?" The bartender said awkwardly," Sorry, we…"
"Ah, nothing. Just give me a cup of green grasshopper.”
Feng Nianen leaned on the counter and couldn't help but recall the scene just now.
Did he really see Lan Ya? Did he really hear what he said? Or was everything just his imagination?
"Hey, nerd!" A powerful palm landed on Feng Nianen's shoulder.
He looked up and blinked. It took him a while to recognize that the person in front of him was the girl next door he had bumped into this morning. "It's you?"
"Why? Can't I come here?”The young girl wrinkled her nose." But this place is really f * cking expensive. The minimum cost is 80 yuan, and there's even a member to guide us. How about it? Treat me to a drink."”
Feng Nianen frowned." Order it yourself."”
"Really?" The girl turned to the bartender with a smile." Give me a glass of Lake Lerman Dream."”
Feng Nianen looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect her to order a cocktail that was known for its elegance, mystery, and love.
"What's wrong?" The girl turned her head." Is this wine very expensive?”
"No, haven't you drunk it before?"
The young girl pursed her lips." How can poor people like us drink this? If it wasn't for a guy who said he was treating us, do you think I would order this wine?”
He looked at her in confusion. If she couldn't even afford a cocktail, why would she spend 10,000 yuan on a dress?
"You must be thinking that if you can't even afford to drink, why would you buy a dress from Cacharel, right?”
Feng Nianen turned away awkwardly.
The girl sneered." It's because I want to buy a Cacharel dress that I don't have the money to drink.”
She picked up the tall glass and took a sip. She could not help but frown." Boring. It's like juice. It's not as satisfying as beer.”
"Many cocktails are fruit juice flavored, but the one you drank was made from sake, cherry wine, white sweet wine, lemon juice, and ice cubes.”
The young girl tilted her head." You know him so well. He's indeed rich."”
Feng Nianen forced a smile and drank the green grasshopper. He took out the salary that Zhang Hanwen had given him in advance from his wallet.
"What?"
"Since you've already found the money for the dress here, you won't have to make another trip.”
The girl tilted her head and looked at him for a while." You really want to give it to me?”
He nodded.
"What a fool!" She took the money and stuffed it into his pocket." I don't want it anymore."”
"What?" He was shocked.
"If you don't want it, then you don't want it. What's there to be surprised about?”
"But, but your dress…"
The girl shrugged." I suddenly feel that this is quite cool, so I don't want it.”She finished the blue liquid in the glass and stood up.
"Remember this!" She almost leaned on Feng Nianen's shoulder." You owe me ten thousand yuan.”
"But you…"
"I changed my mind again."
"Then take it!" As he spoke, he handed the money back.
"No, I want you to owe me. I'll take it when I want it.”She patted his shoulder and turned to leave.
Feng Nianen looked at the bodies that were writhing crazily on the dance floor and shook his head. He smiled bitterly and finished his green grasshopper. He would never understand what women were thinking.
The bar at night was always a good place to kill time. A few songs, a few glasses of fruit wine, and some boring banter passed the night.
Every time they came out of that world of debauchery, it would be the next morning. Feng Nianen parked the car and reached out to carry the drunk Zhang Hanwen.
"Feng Nianen, you're a fool! Fool, do you know?"
"Yes, Miss." He carried her out of the carriage and dealt with her punches and kicks.
"No, I can't! You don't know. If you knew, you wouldn't be here. You don't know. You don't know anything! You fool, the greatest fool in the world, the greatest fool!”
Feng Nianen didn't reply. Instead, he half-dragged and half-carried her into the elevator.
"You have a girlfriend, right?"
She suddenly hugged him and giggled at him with her drunken eyes. The strong smell of alcohol mixed with the perfume on her body formed a special smell that made him dizzy.
"You have a girlfriend, right? Isn't that right?"
"No, no, I don't have a girlfriend.”
"Liar! Dummies shouldn't lie! Do you think I didn't see it? Two, two women came looking for you today. Do you think I didn't see them?”
"It's not that." He carried her out of the elevator." The first is a man, and the second is my neighbor.”
"Liar! Liar! "All men like to lie, but a fool shouldn't lie. You're a fool, the biggest fool in the world, a big fool who doesn't know anything..." As she spoke, she actually cried.
Feng Nianen was stunned. Although Zhang Hanwen often went to bars, he rarely got drunk. Even if he was drunk, he would usually sleep. He had never been as noisy as today.
"You don't know anything!" She shouted," Do you think my father is really doing this for your own good? Do you think you can enter the company by following me like this? Wrong! He only treats you as a butler, a servant, just like Uncle Feng. You'll drive for him for a lifetime, be his chauffeur for a lifetime, keep his secrets, and keep his shameful things a secret.”
Feng Nianen didn't say anything and carried her into the bedroom.
"Why do you think he put you by my side so that we can develop a relationship? Idiot! He is testing you to see if you will be loyal to me. He has already helped me find a fiancé. Don't you know? You don't know anything. That guy will be back in a month. He will join another company. Those companies that are against the Zhang Corporation. Then, he will crawl until the old man recognizes him. Then, he can come and marry me. He will destroy those companies one by one and use them as betrothal gifts, understand? You fool, fool!"
Feng Nianen helped her take off her shoes and covered her with the blanket.
"But if you do that, the old man won't trust him completely. That's your use. He won't let you enter the company so that he can stay and restrict that guy. That's your only use.”
"Would you like some water, Miss?"
"Water?" She looked at him and giggled. Suddenly, she sat up and vomited all over him.
"Idiot, the number one idiot in the world! You don't know anything!" She shouted as she vomited.
Feng Nianen patted her back. After she finished vomiting, he helped her take off her coat and took a towel from the bathroom to wipe her face.
"Why? Why do you have to make such an arrangement?" Zhang Hanwen twisted his body on the bed.
"Am I not human? Can't I choose for myself? What am I…Are you my father? " Are you my father…" She muttered to herself. Her voice became softer and softer as she finally fell asleep.
Feng Nianen wiped the floor clean and cleaned up the filth on her body. Then, she looked at Zhang Hanwen's sleeping face.
Her face was flushed red, and even in her sleep, she was still seductive. Her long eyelashes were like small brushes that cast a shadow on her eyelids, creating a pitiful feeling on her charming face.
He stood there in a daze for a moment. When he saw that Zhang Hanwen was fast asleep, he went into the kitchen to cook some porridge and left a note on the bed. Then, he stuffed his shirt into a bag and walked out of the room.
A fool? He looked at the white crescent moon in the sky, its curved sharp hooks and faint brilliance, like an illustration in a fairy tale. The cool breeze and the swaying branches on the tree made him shiver. He ran to his residence with the bag.
Feng Nianen returned to his residence and tidied up a little. He sat by the window and quietly looked at the dark blue sky. Zhang Hanwen's words of " idiot ", Lan Ya's dream-like figure, and the strange behavior of the girl next door kept replaying in his mind.
What am I doing? Why are you always thinking about useless things? He patted his face and took out the information that Li Zilin had organized.
According to past records, there had never been a vampire who could turn back into an ordinary human. However, there was a legend that if the vampires could obtain the true tears of a virgin, they could turn back. However, this legend had always been just a rumor. It had not appeared in any ancient books, nor had there been a successful precedent, so it could only be used as a reference for the time being.
Feng Nianen closed the folder and took a deep breath. After he calmed down, he opened the folder again and read the information carefully twice.
The tears of a virgin?
It seemed like Lan Ya really did say those words in the bar, but why did Lan Ya not admit it later? Why didn't this legend appear in any of the ancient books? Why did the Prince say that there was no other way? Was there a problem?
Feng Nianen shook his head. No matter what the problem was, this was his only solution.
But the tears of a virgin…
He thought of these words with a headache.
If he had a sister, it might not be a problem, but he did not. In his twenty-two years of life, other than his grandmother, the only woman he knew was Zhang Hanwen. Even his mother had passed away early, so her memory of her had long faded.
He stared at the text. No matter how he looked at it, he had to find a woman to make her fall in love with him and cry for him. Moreover, this woman had to be a virgin!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but moan. How could he know if the other party was a virgin? Should he ask her this question?
Even though he didn't know much about women, he knew that this question wasn't something that could be asked casually. If he met a woman with a bad temper, she might even slap him twice. Of course, he could also ask after dating for a while. But what if she wasn't a virgin? Break up? Wouldn't that be letting him down?
Moreover, he thought of a report he had read before. It said that the average age of virgins in the world was below 18 years old! In other words, even an eighteen-year-old might not be a virgin. Unless it was a younger child, there was no guarantee.
A child?
Feng Nianen's eyes lit up and he quickly read the information again.
That's right, it only said that she was a virgin, but there was no age limit. It also did not say that it had to be for love, which meant that he could find a little girl to cry for him.
A little girl, no need to be too old, just below ten years old. As long as he was kind to her, buy her two beautiful clothes and some candy, and after she fell in love with him, he would ask her to cry for him once, or he would feel a little guilty and make up a tragic story to make her cry for him.
That's right, that's it!
Virgin, Sincerity, Tears. He had achieved all three elements. If the legend was true, then he could return to normal!
He stood up excitedly and paced back and forth in the room.
He had to find a timid little girl. Such a girl was the softest. She might fall in love with him immediately and be willing to cry for him in less than two days. Then, he would not have to worry about what to do in four days.
Feng Nianen suddenly stopped in his tracks when he thought of the 800 milliliters of blood he would get every ten days.
'It won't be that simple,' he told himself. If he could break free from the ranks of vampires just like that, it was impossible that there had not been any successful examples in the past. Was he the only one who didn't want to become a vampire all these years?
He grabbed the folder and studied it carefully.
No matter how one looked at it, virginity, sincerity, and tears were the only three requirements. Was the temptation of eternal life so great? Or was this legend useless?
He shook his head. No matter what, this was still a path. Even if there was a cliff in front of him, he would only know after walking. Although he was very excited, because he had finally found a way out and had not slept well for a few days, he fell asleep almost as soon as he lay on the bed.
When Feng Nianen woke up again, the sky was completely dark. It was drizzling outside the window. He blinked and jumped out of bed barefoot. He pushed open the window and saw the drizzle. His vision was blurry. He cursed angrily and almost couldn't help but curse the heavens.
It was fine if he was in this state, but he had finally found a way out, and now he was here to make trouble. Although the rain was not heavy, there would definitely be no children playing outside.
He lay back on the bed dejectedly and moaned under the blanket. Suddenly, he thought of something and picked up the phone to call Zhang Hanwen.
"Miss?"
"Yes."
"Are you alright?"
"Yes."
" Well…there's warm porridge in the pot. If you don't want to eat, have some. If you have a headache…"
"Aren't you annoying?" Before he could finish his sentence, Zhang Hanwen shouted in annoyance," I saw the note you left. I know that there's porridge in the pot and I know what to do if I have a headache. Why did you call? Go! I've already given you a break. Go do whatever you want. If you want to get a girlfriend, go get one. Don't bother me!”
After she finished shouting, she hung up the phone.
Feng Nianen put down the microphone and took a deep breath. Alright, since it had nothing to do with him, then he would make some preparations for his plan. He changed his clothes and walked out of the house. First, he bought a T-shirt with a cartoon pattern from a small shopping mall nearby. Although this shirt looked ridiculous on him, who was already in his twenties, he thought that little girls would like it.
He held an umbrella and went to the park near the community. This was the place he had planned. Although he rarely came here, he knew that many children nearby liked to play here.
This place could no longer be called a park. Other than the flower bed in the center and the trees planted on the four sides, the other facilities were a vermilion wooden horse, a sky-blue seesaw, a slide with an elephant pattern, and a children's favorite sandpit that was half the size of a swimming pool.
Of course, it was cold and cheerless here. The water flowed down from the top of the slide to the ground like a stream, and the sand pit was as muddy as yellow soup. It was unknown if it was because of the rain or because it had always been like this, but there were traces of paint peeling off on all the facilities. The entire park was like a wasteland.
Feng Nianen looked at the dark sky and could only pray that tomorrow would be a sunny day.
He stood in the rain with an umbrella in his hand. He didn't really want to go home, but he couldn't think of where to go for a moment. He remembered that he hadn't eaten for a day, and his stomach, which wasn't hungry at first, suddenly became hungry.
I'll go eat something before making plans!
He walked out of the park and happened to catch a bus. He jumped on it without thinking.
He didn't care where the bus was going. He just blindly got off at a brightly lit place.
Although the sky was still drizzling, there were quite a few pedestrians on the streets. Under the colorful umbrellas were couples playing and hugging each other.
He was very hungry, but he didn't know what to eat, so he followed a couple into a restaurant that was filled with the rich aroma of beef.
There were many people in the restaurant, and there were no independent tables. He was led by the waiter to a table by the window. A man in khaki casual clothes was reading the newspaper with his head lowered.
Feng Nianen did not see the man's face, but he felt a little uncomfortable. It was like an animal's instinct, vaguely reminding him of danger!
At the same time, the man put down the newspaper and looked at him.
The waiter apologized to the man while taking out a small notebook.
The man didn't say anything more. He just looked at Feng Nianen deeply.
Feng Nianen glanced at the menu on the table and pondered.
" If it's your first time here…" The man suddenly said," I suggest you try the beef noodles here."”
"Then a bowl of beef noodles and a cup of lemon tea.”
"A bowl of beef noodles and a cup of lemon tea. Okay, that's 85 yuan in total. Please wait a moment.”The waiter took the money and left.
Feng Nianen looked at the drizzle outside the window restlessly. He knew that the man opposite him was sizing him up. Even without the reflection of the glass, he could feel the man's undisguised gaze on him.
He subconsciously covered half of his face with his hand and almost couldn't help but walk away. Fortunately, the food that the man ordered was served at this time. He also withdrew his gaze, and Feng Nianen could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn't enjoy the meal. Although the man didn't look at him again, Feng Nianen still felt that he was paying attention to him. He hurriedly drank the lemonade and casually ate a few mouthfuls of noodles before standing up.
The man was still chewing his noodles slowly, as if he did not care about his departure.
Feng Nianen walked out of the restaurant and ran quickly on the street without holding an umbrella. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he was out of the street. Just as he was amused by his actions, he suddenly shivered. The cells in his body received a dangerous message again!# specific
