Ye Yingzhi said that he rented a house in Sophis for vacation, and asked Chi Yan to meet him at the house he rented.
The house is not big, with a small yard, the house is clean and tidy, and it is very close to Chi Yan's dormitory and school. Chi Yan thought to herself that it was no wonder that Ye Yingzhi had rushed over so quickly after she learned of her accident last time.
Ye Yingzhi made hot pot at home. The bone soup is spicy and spicy. It is said that it is spicy, and the numbing is enough, but the spicy is not enough. The soup is almost white, with only a little red oil floating. Ye Yingzhi said that he was just sick and could not eat too spicy, so he would make red soup pot later.
Chi Yan took a small spoon and poured a little white soup into the pot to drink. The tongue could feel the obvious numbness, and the delicious and honest feeling spread throughout the whole mouth. Small ingredients, simply delicious.
Chi Yan remembered that Ye Yingzhi once said that his mother was of Chinese descent, so he looked up and asked, "Yingzhi, did you learn from your mother? The craftsmanship is really good."
"Really?" Ye Yingzhi ate slowly, in stark contrast to Chi Yan, "My mother couldn't cook, and she died when I was very young, and my father also had other wives who didn't care about me anymore. , I can hardly remember what she and my father looked like now. This is what I learned to do by myself, and I am still worried that it will not taste good.”
Because he couldn't taste any food other than blood, he could only do it by his own feeling.
"This way..." Chi Yan didn't expect his vampire hunter friend to have such a past. He regretted bringing it up for a while. His mother died early and his father remarried. Ye Yingzhi's relationship with his parents should not be deep. Will "barely remember what they looked like"
Next, he deliberately changed the subject and gave Ye Yingzhi his own life in the country.
Ever since "the flowers bloom in our school in March and April every year, the yellow, pink and white ones are very beautiful. I still remember riding a bicycle to a cafeteria one morning when I first entered school two years ago, when I was at a fork in the road. I stopped to get my phone, and when I looked up, I saw a tree of snow-white flowers, one of which was sparse and sparse, and a bunch of flowers at the top of the branch just above my eyes. Unfortunately, this year in Sophis, I just missed a season of flowering.” "My mother used to keep a tank of goldfish. When she changed the water for the goldfish, the goldfish was dishonest. It kept jumping out, and it was about to jump to the ground. My mother was very angry and began to criticize the goldfish. 'I am saving it. You, how come you don't know what's good and bad'...". He was talking about trivial matters around him, but Ye Yingzhi kept smiling and listening patiently.
Until the two of them finished eating, Ye Yingzhi packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash the pot, and Chi Yan also followed him and stood beside him and continued to talk to him. He had already talked about the fact that he couldn't eat watermelon when he was three years old and put the rest of it in the refrigerator. Seeing that all the things he remembered before in this life were almost finished, he didn't want to give up halfway.
Ye Yingzhi lowered his head to wash the dishes and smiled to himself, and there was an irresistible joy in his smile. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Chi Yan, who was seriously talking about his kindergarten journey. He thought proudly that you and I would act so sane and solemn every day. Xiao misses me. Little badass.
He felt dissatisfied again, and wanted to tell the other party that he really didn't mind, even if he kissed him, hugged him, touched him and called his husband in reality, he wouldn't mind, really. Welcome to dream come true. Otherwise, the dreamer can't hold back, and he, who is regarded as the dream lover of the dream object, can't hold back.
Seeing Chi Yan finally finished speaking, Ye Yingzhi took the initiative to hand him a cup of tea and asked warmly, "You said on the phone that you wanted to ask me about Prince Aimer?"
Chi Yan nodded: "Yes, I always feel that his attitude towards me is a little strange. But I also figured it out later."
Chi Yan looked up at Ye Yingzhi: "When people get old, they will add some strange hobbies. For example, after my father turned 40, he began to like listening to cross talk and turning walnuts. I think Prince Aimer has lived for thousands of years. Well, there's nothing wrong with acting weird."
He tried to make an innocuous joke with his friend: "In that sense, His Royal Highness is well-maintained, right? At least he doesn't suffer from Alzheimer's disease. I'm worried that I'm getting old. Then there will be dementia.”
However, he found that his friend didn't go along with his joke, instead his expression was a little weird, and some, twisted
The vampire hunter sternly corrected him: "In fact, vampires can be regarded as a kind of ghosts. They are inanimate, and naturally they can't talk about age. Logically, their biological age should be calculated according to their strength, not according to their existence. How long does it take to count, Prince Aimer's power is at its peak now, so according to the standards of the blood clan, he is still in his prime."
————
After that, the two continued to keep in touch by phone and information. However, Ye Yingzhi waited for four days, and Chi Yan didn't take the initiative to ask him to meet again, and even the time on the phone with him was shortened a lot. He only called twice, and every night, within 20 minutes of calling, Chi Yan said that he was tired and wanted to rest.
Ye Yingzhi couldn't hold back a little, although he knew that he was the one who was regarded as the lover of his dreams, he should be properly restrained and enjoy the feeling of being pursued, and at the same time, he should not let the other party think that he got it too easily. He, maybe even knowing that he is actually a vampire, he will be reluctant to continue to hug him and call him husband... That scene is very beautiful, as long as he can bear it, Ah Yan must have him in his heart Otherwise, why would you have such a dream with him without any grudges
He understands the truth, and he has been persuading himself in this way for the past two days. However, he still took the initiative to ask for a meeting on the fifth day of the call: "...you wanted to eat red soup hot pot last time, right? I want to try it this time. Would you like to come over and taste how it tastes? ?"
Very tempting proposition. But Chi Yan still reluctantly refused: "I can't go back now, I'm in Cairns now."
"In Cairns?"
"Well, come on a tour. I just went to the Great Barrier Reef to dive yesterday, went to Kuranda today, and is now on the train from Kuranda back to downtown Cairns."
This is an old-fashioned train for tourists to experience the viewing style. It is completely the product of the last century. The speed is extremely slow, the windows can be opened freely, and the very vintage carriages decorated with yellow wooden structures are not interesting. There were not many people in the carriage, so Chi Yan could occupy a whole row of seats by himself. The train would pass through the undeveloped forest, and the signal on the train was not good. Ye Yingzhi's voice sounded very low and a little unclear. Chi Yan had to go to the door of the carriage to talk to the other party, and it was difficult to pass through. Voices identify each other's emotions.
"… When did you leave?"
"It was the day after the hot pot was eaten, and our school had a two-week vacation from that day."
There was a pause for a second: "Are you alone?"
"No, I'm with three classmates, two girls and one boy. Jiang Tian helped me get in touch, I didn't know them before. But they are all very nice, and it's fun to hang out with them." Especially his companions All have rich travel experience, strong rationality and practical ability, and arrange everything in an orderly manner.
Don't you like me? How can you hang out with others without saying hello to me? And the secrecy is done so well. Chi Yan doesn't have the habit of posting travel photos on social media. The two didn't talk about related topics when they chatted in the past two days. Chi Yan didn't even think about taking the initiative to tell him that he had left Sophis to travel.
You don't take the initiative and don't even care, and you don't even travel with your crush to cultivate relationships. When will we be able to be together in reality? Do you still expect your dream lover to take the initiative to seduce you
Ye Yingzhi blurted out, "Why didn't you tell me? I'll find you."
Chi Yan was very surprised: "I told you that the day you ate hot pot, you were still smiling and nodding. You probably forgot. But you don't have to come here. We booked a two-person room, and you don't have any extra to stay here. Place. And I'm flying straight to Sydney tomorrow, and then back to Sophis directly from Sydney."
Double room... He also lives with someone else. Ye Yingzhi's face was silent. At that time, he should be looking at the person in front of him and thinking about the beautiful and expectable scene at the same time. He was so complacent that he missed such important information.
Really, the proud will lose. Ah Yan was so shy, he would definitely only mention it vaguely, and would not take the initiative to invite him, but he actually missed it. He covered his forehead in annoyance.
Chi Yan arrived in Sydney at four o'clock in the afternoon the next day. His other three companions had been to the city many times, so they all flew straight back to Sophis.
Chi Yan ordered a single room online. The location of the hotel is a bit out of the way. The entrance is in the middle of a small road in a place similar to a residential area, and the surrounding area is not close to the main road. However, the advantage is that it is relatively close to the subway station, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk out of the subway entrance. The environment is clean, the decoration is fresh and elegant, and the price is reasonable. You can also enjoy a simple buffet breakfast every morning.
After Chi Yan got out of the subway, he dragged his luggage and searched for a while before he found his hotel. The single room was very small, with only one bed and one table. The toilet and bathroom were shared and distributed in the corridor. For less than $80 a night, he was very satisfied with a hotel with such conditions for the price in Sydney.
After he put his luggage away, he saw that it was still early, so he decided to go around the neighborhood and come back after dinner.
The weather forecast said that there will be rain in Sydney these two days. The sky has been cloudy and foggy, and the pressure is very low. Coupled with the old Gothic-style buildings that can be seen along the way, it makes people feel like they are back in the Middle Ages. There were no attractions near the hotel, and Chi Yan didn't plan to go far. After eating at a nearby restaurant under a comprehensive shopping mall, he took out the map on his mobile phone and checked it out, and decided to go to a nearby church.
He does not believe in God or any religion, but he is also willing to learn about various religious cultures. Many of the churches here are beautifully built and have unique styles.
The building of this church is not large. Chi Yan walked around and came out after more than ten minutes. He looked at the time at 8:30 in the evening, the sky was completely dark, and there were tiny raindrops falling on his face .
He didn't know the direct way back to the hotel from here, so he could only rely on Google Maps for guidance, and electronic maps were sometimes unreliable. For example, this navigation always led him to various indistinguishable paths. Maybe the map thinks it's closer.
After he walked out of the church for about ten minutes, he only felt that the further he walked in the direction of the hotel where he lived, the quieter and fewer pedestrians. There is no street light at all on a section of the road, and it can only be illuminated by the lights of other businesses on the road and far away.
At this time, Chi Yan heard a woman's shrill scream coming from the side road. He was startled, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but stop and stand on the spot. And then there was another cry for help, this time he heard it clearly, it was "Help!" in Chinese.
Chi Yan didn't hesitate any longer, took out her mobile phone and quickly looked up the local police number, and at the same time quietly walked towards the fork in the road. He tried not to make any noise, and hid behind the wall to look secretly at the place where the sound came from, only to see a young girl in a white shirt being dragged forward by four people.
The girl sat on the ground, her mouth was stuffed with something, so that she could not make a sound, she struggled, but could not resist the strength of the other four, she was still dragged forward quickly. Jeans screeched against the ground.
But those four people were unmoved at all, just like robots dragging her limbs forward, like dragging an animal.
Chi Yan could see the girl's face under the faint white light of the fork in the road. He felt that the girl's face was familiar, he thought about it carefully, and then recalled that it was Bai Qiu, a Chinese girl he met at the airport when he first arrived.
He turned his eyes and finally saw the faces of the other four people. Their faces were extremely pale, faintly cyan, and they looked as terrifying as the legendary ghosts. More conspicuous were the two sharp and slightly curved scorpions. Teeth stick out of their mouths.
is a vampire. And the lowest level of vampires.
Chi Yan unconsciously raised his head slightly and clenched the phone in his hand nervously.
