Before the bell rang for the first class in the afternoon, my playboy brother dropped me off at the gate of my original school. When he drove me out of the car, facing his smiling and complacent face, I glared at him angrily and walked to my classroom alone.

"Don't be so slow, class starts in about ten seconds!" He shouted from behind me, with a hint of smile in his voice. But I just pretended not to hear. Facing a person like him, it was impossible to find a better way besides being cold and completely ignoring him.

"Let's go home and have dinner now!" I recalled the conversation in the car when I came back from that Western art school.

"Why go home for dinner! You have to go to class in the afternoon, what are you doing at home now?" His annoying voice asked, pretending to be very surprised.

"Didn't you say you've already asked for leave for me?" I asked in confusion at the time.

"I have already asked for leave for you, but I only took half a day. But I didn't expect it to be so late. It seems that there is no time for lunch, but you are a vampire anyway, so it doesn't matter whether you eat or not."

"Where's the schoolbag?" I asked coldly.

"Here!" It seemed that he was thoughtful.

He paused and then said, "I can help you take another half-day off! But everything has to have a price. Today I made an appointment with a few friends to have dinner together. If you are willing to pretend to be my girlfriend and accompany me, then . . . ”

The more he spoke so lightly, the more infuriating he became. What didn't you expect? At this time, I fully understood in my heart that he had already planned it, but I wouldn't let him succeed. Wouldn't it just mean missing a meal? What's the big deal? Even if I'm not a vampire, I won't starve to death even if I skip one meal. So you can imagine how I could give up my dignity for a small meal! The results of it? Just like this, he drove me to the school gate. The car drove at a snail's pace on the road, and now he was still urging me behind my back, making it seem like he was really worried that I would be late.

But fortunately, I was not late. To be precise, I should be late, but the teacher was also late. The result was that I arrived earlier than the teacher, so the teacher did not know that I was late. But even if the teacher knows, he doesn't necessarily know what he will do. Anyway, I haven't been here for a long time, and the teachers are used to it. Now that there is suddenly an extra person, they may be a little uncomfortable!

After class, the teacher just asked me how I was feeling out of responsibility. Is it better? Of course I nodded in acquiescence, but other than that, I didn’t have much to say. I couldn’t say that my body was fine, I just didn’t want to come to school and do exercises all day long!

But before the teacher left, he also said, "Don't come to school dressed like a young lady." Only then did I really understand what was going on with Henry Zhang's smile behind my back just now.

"Price? Everyone has to pay for what they have done." I said coldly in my heart. Suddenly I felt an empty feeling in my stomach, and a trace of pain inevitably flashed across my face. It seems that he was wrong. Even if I am a vampire, I will still be hungry when I am a human.

"Jing, are you really okay?" Xiaoya, who had been staring at me, seemed to have noticed something and asked very worriedly. After not seeing each other for a few days, her face no longer had the faint helplessness and sadness that she had when she last faced me, but instead was filled with endless worry and concern. This is the Xiaoya I know.

"My body is fine." I replied coldly.

"Then why didn't you come to school for a few days?" She didn't believe it.

"I don't want to come." I said without any regrets.

"Really?" She still didn't quite believe it, but after I nodded again, she showed a look of belief on her face. But she suddenly asked curiously, "Where is your current home?"

"I don't know where that place is," I replied. She originally wanted to ask something, but when she thought of my cold face, she shut her mouth and never asked anything again. She just told me some random things. During my absence, , gossip among classmates, and some new mock exam arrangements in school, but I just listened without saying a word, just like before, without expressing any opinions. This is also what I have done the most when I am with her. Most classmates can't stand it at all, so they keep a certain distance from me. But she didn't seem to care. She never forced me to talk. As long as I listened, she would keep talking, and she talked so happily. That's why I get closer to her.

"Jing really hasn't changed, it's still the same Jing." After talking for a while, she suddenly stopped and said to me with a face full of joy.

"Xiaoya!" I don't know what to say, but I deeply feel that Xiaoya is no longer the simple and ignorant little girl she used to be. She has grown up and matured a lot. It all surprised me a little bit. But people always have to grow up, and it’s better to grow up early. After all, she has a brother who is a hunter. Although she now has the "Blood Eye" I gave her, something unexpected happened. If she didn't bring it with her when she met the vampire, or the vampire who planned to harm her didn't look at it, What about the "eyes of blood" on her body? These are all possible, even if she is not harmed, but when she discovers that the existence she thought is impossible really exists, then the stimulation she will receive is not something that a small and innocent child's heart can bear.

"Ding ling ling!" The class bell rang again. And she just gave me a faint smile and said nothing, but her faint smile contained too much meaning, which was enough for me to remember deeply for a while.

When I came home from school, Xiaoya didn't leave silently alone like last time. Instead, she put me in the car and walked to the station alone. I looked at her relaxed and happy face in the reversing mirror, and suddenly I felt a strange feeling in my heart, but I couldn't tell what it felt like. It should be a human feeling! After all, I am only half a human, maybe not 50%, so I have to spend more time slowly understanding and exploring this creature with extremely complex emotions.

"Old Chen, is your young master at home?" I suddenly asked in the car.

"Master? He should go home now!" Lao Chen didn't expect that I would suddenly ask about Henry Zhang, because we have been either arguing endlessly or I have turned a blind eye to him. Therefore, in the hearts of Lao Chen and Granny Xiao Hui, they have long believed that this young master and I have a long-standing feud. Of course, their feelings are also very accurate. Therefore, they would almost never mention him in front of me, and it was certainly even less likely that I would take the initiative to mention him. Except this time.

"Oh! That's good!" I said with a cold smile in my heart. This kind of laughter even startled me, but it was impossible for these old Chens to hear it, so it shouldn't scare him.

"What happened?" Lao Chen asked worriedly when he saw that I was silent. After all, this was the first time I'd ever asked about Playboy.

"I want to treat him to dinner." I replied coldly.

"Is it true? Have the young lady and the young master reconciled?" Although Lao Chen was a little surprised, he was still very happy. After all, for a period of time, the discord between the young master and me was their biggest worry.

"Yeah!" I replied coldly. Just from the tone of my voice, let alone Lao Chen, I don’t think even God could hear any malice, and of course he couldn’t hear any good intentions. But there is the second half of the sentence, which is, "Everything has its own price." This is what he taught me. (To be continued)
