Chapter Twenty-Nine/The Top of the Blood Shadow

The next morning, the warm sunlight poured in through the window, and the dark shadows of the grass and trees outside the window were dotted between the floor and the white futon to form a chic abstract painting, and the shadows swayed left and right with the light wind, like small fish swimming in the clear waves.

Yin Shixue woke up from her sleep, and the moment she opened her eyes, she felt that the surrounding environment was too unfamiliar, and it took her a second to think about how she climbed into bed last night, and when she was sure that she couldn't remember anything, she screamed and bounced up from the bed.

She glanced at herself in the futon, and was a little relieved to make sure that her clothes were in good condition, Huo Jiangyi shouldn't be the kind of person who takes advantage of people's danger, right?

"Awake?"

Huo Jiangyi stood at the door at some point, and Yin Shixue was startled when he made a sound.

Yin Shixue hurriedly pulled the quilt over her body and looked at Huo Jiangyi at the door nervously.

Huo Jiangyi was wearing a light blue sweater, lining his skin to snow white, his hair had a slight curl when he first woke up, but he was also naturally handsome, and he was wearing a pair of homely slippers at his feet.

He gently leaned against the door frame, holding a cup of freshly brewed coffee in his hand, his slender fingers flicked the porcelain spoon, gently stirring the coffee in the cup, the action was elegant and charming, and the whole space was filled with the aroma of coffee in an instant.

Yin Shixue sat on the bed and looked at him, and while brushing the hair from her ears, she pretended to be calm and said, "You, where did you sleep last night?"

Huo Jiangyi took a sip of coffee slowly.

Yin Shixue looked at him nervously.

"So concerned about me?"

Yin Shixue was embarrassed and asked again, "You won't ...... I haven't slept all night. ”

"I, sleep on the couch!"

He turned and walked to the living room, and a voice came from the living room, "Are you still going to class today?"

"Of course!" Yin Shixue replied immediately!

As soon as I came out, I found that Huo Jiangyi had already prepared breakfast, milk, toast and eggs, the tablecloth was printed with white flowers, and even the colors and styles of the tableware were very early in the morning.

Next to the table is a delicate dark green vase, in which is a bouquet of dew-stained flowers, fresh and elegant.

Yin Shixue had to sigh, Huo Jiangyi lived a life too exquisitely, probably every day was like acting in a romantic movie, at this moment, his lazy pace and vigilance in front of vampires were completely different.

Yin Shixue sat down in surprise, and Huo Jiangyi sat opposite her.

Yin Shixue stared into his eyes while eating.

Huo Jiangyi probably couldn't stand it anymore, so he glanced at her, "Eat well, and go to class as soon as you finish eating." ”

"You're really not a vampire, are you??"

Huo Jiangyi also stared at her eyes seriously, "Do you want to give it a try?"

"What?"

"Let me bite you, and you'll know if I'm a vampire or not. ”

When Yin Shixue heard this, she leaned back vigilantly, "That's still forget it, I don't have this hobby." Yin Shixue ate obediently.

When the two came to the school gate, they found that many people had gathered next to the campus flower bed, as well as the police.

"It won't be ...... again" Yin Shixue looked at Huo Jiangyi nervously, Huo Jiangyi's eyes became gray and cold at the moment, and he ran over quickly, sure enough, there was another dead person last night.

Huo Jiangyi opened the crowd and checked the two slightly concave tooth marks on the girl's neck. His brow furrowed, his fingers whitened from the clenched force, and he walked out silently.

"Huo ......" Yin Shixue originally wanted to call him, but stopped, he should be uncomfortable at this moment, there are dead people, how many zombies are there in this city?

That day, Lin Keke saw Huo Jiangyi at school, rushed to him and said that he wanted to thank him for saving his life last night, Huo Jiangyi still had a cold expression, he responded that he still had something, and then went to discuss the case with Peng Yuan.

Since the successive vampire biting incidents, Huo Jiangyi stipulated that Yin Shixue could not leave his sight at night, but girls are often very inconvenient, sometimes Yin Shixue is anxious, and he doesn't choose to speak, "Huo Jiangyi, do you have a crush on me?"

Yin Shixue still remembered Jack and Yi Han's expressions at that time, and they both looked at Huo Jiangyi with expressions of "I also want to know".

Huo Jiangyi sat at the table by the window and typed on the keyboard of the computer, the warm sunlight after autumn flooded his side face, and he couldn't see his current expression clearly.

At this time, Coco called, "My parents came back from Hong Kong last night and asked me why you weren't there?"

"You, how did you answer?"

"How else can you answer, could it be that you ran away with the man?"

"Coco, what are you talking about? ”

"Okay, go home tonight, my mom said, if you can't see you, you'll have to break my legs!"

After hanging up the phone, Yin Shixue turned to Huo Jiangyi and said, "I have to go back."

"No", Huo Jiangyi refused directly, without even raising his eyelids.

"Isn't it still bright now?"

"People die every day in this city, if you want to live longer, just stay here and don't go anywhere!"

"Then you send me back, I promise not to run out at night. ”

In the end, at Yin Shixue's insistence, Huo Jiangyi agreed to send her back, after all, it was indeed Yin Zhen who asked the Lin family to help take care of Yin Shixue.

When I returned to Lin's house, I heard Mrs. Lin asking, "Now there are rumors about vampires outside, is it really fake?"

Aunt Liu walked over, "Really, it's all in the newspapers, every day, it's scary." ”

"Aunt Liu, remember to close the doors and windows tightly at night, Keke, Shi Xue, you two stay at home at night and don't run out, do you hear!"

"I hear you. The two replied obediently.

When she was in school that day, Yin Shixue felt the beads on her chest vibrating sharply, emitting a trace of ghostly light, and she looked around in shock.

When she walked alone on the road, she noticed someone following her, and the beads on her chest vibrated more and more.

But it doesn't make sense, aren't vampires not coming out during the day?

Behind her was a man wearing a black jacket, a hat on his head, wearing a black mask, and only a pair of deep and sharp eyes were revealed under the brim, Yin Shixue crashed into his bottomless eyes as soon as he turned around.

β€œNelsonοΌŸβ€

Yin Shixue felt that her voice was trembling, these eyes were most familiar to her, they must be him.

The man in front of her had unusually bright eyes, his long eyelashes casting a shadow in the autumn twilight, and her cold breath could be felt from afar, she had never seen Nelson's true appearance during the day, why could he appear during the day?

"Who are you, and why are you following me?"

Nelson slowly raised his ink-colored eyes, the light of different colors flashed, he didn't speak, and when he approached, Yin Shixue saw his eyebrows clearly, like a sword aura.

"You look like a woman I've ever seen. ”

His voice lingered in Yin Shixue's ears like a spell, it was clearly Nelson's voice, reason told her to stay away from this devil, but the man in front of her seemed to know her vanished memory very well.

"Do I look like the guy you've met, where is she, what's her name, and how old is she?"

The more Yin Shixue spoke, the more excited she became, because she had forgotten everything in front of her for 10 years, forgot everything about her mother, and couldn't remember anything, but the man in front of her mentioned her when she was a child over and over again, I hope he knew something, I hope he could tell her a little news, even a little.

My father said that my mother was dead, but there was not a single photo of the family.

Her name was ...... Clear," Nelson squinted.

Qingyue, this is the name my father would shout every time he got drunk when he was a child.

Her mother.

She hadn't come back to her senses in shock, Nelson had already turned to leave, because he saw Huo Jiangyi following behind Yin Shixue at this time watching their every move, and he didn't want to expose himself in broad daylight and fight with that guy.

Yin Shixue came back to her senses and found that the slender figure had walked around the corner of the street, she followed by a ghost, the corner of the street in autumn was a little depressed, and the roadside was paved with layers of golden fallen leaves.

Huo Jiangyi didn't think of him as a vampire, thinking that this eccentric man was probably a pervert or a robber thief, and if he wanted to plot against Yin Shixue, he would definitely come forward and break him into pieces.

But Huo Jiangyi didn't expect Yin Shixue to chase after him, and his eyes became sharp at this time.

Passing through the street corner, Nelson had long since disappeared at the end of the blurred dusk, and Yin Shixue stood in front of a bubble tea shop and looked around, but he was never seen again.

Huo Jiangyi looked at her from a distance in the corner, maybe it was just because of Yin Shixue's father's entrustment, or maybe he was willing to protect her.

Yin Shixue walked alone, and the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to know the answer.

The night of City A is neon, bright as day, she stands alone on the street corner, the autumn breeze is slightly cool, but she doesn't feel a little cold.

Yin Shixue inadvertently raised her eyes, and suddenly saw a familiar figure standing on the overpass, still the black dress on the street corner, wearing a hat and a black mask, Nelson was leaning on the iron fence and watching the traffic under his feet intently, and behind him was an endless sea of stars, intertwined with darkness and light, Yin Shixue stood under the overpass and couldn't see his expression clearly.

Maybe Nelson is really different from those bloodthirsty vampires, Yin Shixue hit the courage to go to the flyover.

At this time, there are only a handful of people passing by in City A at night, probably because of the recent vampire incident, everyone chooses to travel by car, thinking that this may be able to avoid harm, but in fact, it is useless, just to lie to themselves.

Nelson rested his elbows on the railing, his eyes fixed in the distance ahead, his black hat obscuring the side of his face, only to feel his figure stretched slender in the dim light, frozen in the air like a stone sculpture.

Yin Shixue looked at his silhouette from a distance on the side of the overpass, but she didn't dare to take a step closer, to be honest, she was still a little afraid in her heart, after all, it was a living vampire, not a casual conversation on the side of the road, and she might be in danger of dying if she wasn't careful.

After a while, I saw Nelson slowly lift the hat of his jacket and take off his mask, the whole outline became clear, he was really good to see, people wanted to suffocate, Yin Shixue wondered if there would be another face under this skin, otherwise how could a vampire be so handsome. Shouldn't it be as terrifying as the vampire I saw yesterday?

Nelson's misty eyes were a little more lazy, and he slowly turned his face sideways to look in the direction where Yin Shixue was, it turned out that he had already discovered her existence.

Yin Shixue, who was discovered, only felt that his whole heart was beating wildly, but this kind of face really made people think that he was a vampire.

Remembering that Nelson had saved her life when she was in the forest, and had never really hurt her, Yin Shixue couldn't help but touch the spirit bead hanging on her chest.

This magical bead had saved her many times, and she couldn't understand why Nelson was so unkind to her, maybe he really wasn't that terrible?

Maybe he shouldn't be so curious about him, after all, there is a saying that curiosity kills a cat, maybe it's just his conspiracy, but for Yin Shixue, if she doesn't take this step, there are some things that she may never know, such as where those hideous-looking vampires came from, and how her mother died! In any case, she believes that since Nelson wouldn't hurt her before, she won't do it today.

Yin Shixue grabbed the corner of her clothes and took a deep breath.

Nelson smiled meaningfully not far away, a sinister glint in his eyes. The whole portrait was glowing, attracting Yin Shixue to get closer step by step.
