"I made an appointment with a friend and wanted to go out for a few days."

Jiang Wan thought of a lot of reasons, and finally settled on this, a seemingly unreasonable reason.

She has always been disciplined and has excellent grades, and she looks like a good girl in the eyes of others. Only by doing the opposite can the reasons given be believed.

Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, Jiang Zhengwen immediately agreed, and his tone also revealed Yiyue.

He knew that Jiang Wan's greatest wish was to make friends, and Jiang Zhengwen's greatest wish was to fulfill his sister's wish.

Since he was a child, when he saw that his sister couldn't make friends because she was a vampire, Jiang Zhengwen felt uncomfortable.

Now when he hears his sister say that he has a friend, he is happy for his sister.

"Okay, go ahead, if you have enough money in your hand, I'll transfer it to you."

"It's enough ......" Jiang Wan just wanted to refuse, but then thought of Cheng Mingyue's instant noodles with no nutrients in the small pot, and changed her words: "Then thank you, brother." ”

"You." Jiang Zhengwen smiled dotingly.

When the call ends, a transfer reminder pops up on the phone.

Four zeros, Jiang Wan was satisfied with the payment.

Jiang Wan put the phone in his pocket, turned around and walked out of the house.

Cheng Mingyue finished eating the noodles and was drinking soup with a bowl, and when Jiang Wan came out, she just saw her put down the bowl.

Jiang Wan walked over a few steps, looked down at Cheng Mingyue and said with a light smile, "It seems that I am going to spend the night with you tonight." ”

There was no one at home tonight, and thinking of going back to face a cold room, Jiang Wan preferred to stay here with Cheng Mingyue.

Cheng Mingyue raised her head slightly, because Jiang Wan was close, she had to lean back slightly against the back of the sofa.

She was silent for a moment, looking at Shang Jiangwan's glowing eyes, the color of these eyes was lighter than ordinary people, even if the light in the room was a little dim, it couldn't stop the blazing gaze of these eyes.

Cheng Mingyue's throat rolled and tilted her head, "Hmm." ”

In order to make herself more comfortable, she moved her arms, stood up on the armrests of the sofa, and reached for the dishes and chopsticks on the coffee table.

Jiang Wan grabbed it one step ahead of time, revealing a bright smile. "I'll help you."

Cheng Mingyue knew that she couldn't stop her, so she didn't say anything and acquiesced to Jiang Wan's actions.

Jiang Wan walked straight to the kitchen with dishes and chopsticks.

Without warning, the kitchen lights went out, and the whole room was instantly covered in darkness.

Jiang Wan was shocked by this sudden phenomenon and froze in place.

Subconsciously, she turned her head to look at Cheng Mingyue.

I couldn't even see her clearly.

But it was only for a moment, Jiang Wan closed her eyes and slowed down for a moment, waiting for the blurry figure to come into view when she opened it again.

"There's a power outage, you wait." Cheng Mingyue seemed to be accustomed to it, and there was no panic in her tone.

The figure walked into the bedroom in the dark, and then the sound of Suo Suo came from inside, and then a subtle "click" sounded, and the room lit up with a red light.

Cheng Mingyue walked out of the bedroom, holding a long candle in her hand.

The candlelight flickered on and off, and her face softened a lot.

"Alright, let's go." Her voice was still cool and cool, and there was no emotion.

The faint candlelight illuminated the square inch of the place, and the surrounding area was like a black hole, swallowing all light sources, only the candle flame was lit up in dusk.

Jiang Wan turned around and walked in front, Cheng Mingyue held the candle on her chest and followed behind.

The senses of the blood clan are much more sensitive than those of the human race, and they can quickly adapt to the dark environment, and with the blessing of candlelight, Jiang Wan is not affected at all, and his steps are still brisk.

She walked into the kitchen and turned on the faucet.

Thankfully, there was no water or power outage, and the water was pouring out.

Jiang Wan lowered her head and carefully brushed the grease stains on the dishes, Cheng Mingyue held a candle and stood straight behind.

The two of them stayed in the small space one after the other, and no one spoke, only the sound of rushing water.

The flickering candlelight struck the shadows of the two against the wall, overlapping each other and turning into a large black shadow.

It's a different kind of warmth, and the atmosphere is just the right amount of mildness.

Jiang Wan's speed of washing dishes was not slow, she turned off the faucet and shook off the excess water on the bowl.

Place the dishes and chopsticks on the edge of the sink, next to the glass.

She turned around and smiled at Cheng Mingyue, "Okay, let's go out." ”

Cheng Mingyue turned sideways slightly, stepped out of the aisle, and motioned for Jiang Wan to go out first.

"You go out first, I'll follow you." Jiang Wan said.

Cheng Mingyue didn't speak, glanced at Jiang Wan, and took a step out of the kitchen first.

Jiang Wan followed cautiously behind her, lowering her head and learning Cheng Mingyue's steps.

Cheng Mingyue took every step very steadily, and her steps were big, but the speed was not fast, as if to take care of Jiang Wan, she turned the candle to the side.

The road in front of her was illuminated by candlelight, and Jiang Wan looked at Cheng Mingyue's back and felt warm in her heart.

Entering the bedroom, Cheng Mingyue put the candle on the table, and the bedroom was filled with warm yellow light.

Jiang Wan noticed that there was a small metal bracket at the low end of the candle, so that she could stay firmly on the table.

There was silence in the room again, Cheng Mingyue was still not used to entertaining Jiang Wan, she said uncomfortably: "You, sit down." ”

Jiang Wan was obedient, sat down on the bed obediently, and looked at Cheng Mingyue with her head slightly raised.

Cheng Mingyue pursed her lips and looked away.

Under Jiang Wan's gaze, she turned around and walked to the table, stood next to the table and picked up the remaining half bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap with one hand, and then picked out another bottle of medicine from the bag, opened the lid and poured out two pills.

I put the medicine in my mouth, drank my saliva and swallowed it with my head tilted.

After all, Cheng Mingyue has been injured for just three days, and the recovery ability of the human race is very weak, it stands to reason that she should not be discharged from the hospital now, and she is discharged from the hospital so early, and I don't know how her injury is.

Jiang Wan squinted and stared at Cheng Mingyue's back, as if she was about to poke a hole.

Xu is eyes were too warm, Cheng Mingyue was stared at uncomfortably, and she couldn't ignore it, she turned her head helplessly, and sure enough, she looked at Shangjiang Wan with full attention.

"Ahem, what's wrong?" Cheng Mingyue tried to make her voice sound normal.

Jiang Wan continued to look at her with her chin propped up, and asked, "Does it still hurt, your injury?" ”

Unexpectedly concerned, Cheng Mingyue, who asked, was caught off guard, even she didn't care about her injuries anymore, and almost had to lie that she had healed.

I didn't expect that this person, who had always been hated by him, would become the first person besides my brother to care about him.

Cheng Mingyue's heart was surging, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

She swallowed her throat and said, "It's fine." ”

The room was so quiet that she could hear her heartbeat, "plop, plop", panicked, and inexplicably uncomfortable.

She desperately wanted to leave this house and stay with Jiang Wan, which would only make her feel extremely despicable and make her reprimand her for what she had done to Jiang Wan.

She changed the topic and said to Jiang Wan: "You sleep first, I'll sleep on the sofa." ”

As she spoke, she was about to go outside.

"Wait." Jiang Wan called Cheng Mingyue, "You can sleep in the house." ”

Cheng Mingyue's body stiffened and did not speak.

Jiang Wan laughed lightly, "I won't eat you again." ”

Cheng Mingyue's face turned red, and she turned her head and frowned at Jiang Wan angrily.

Jiang Wan laughed even more, she didn't expect Cheng Mingyue to be so funny, so she said a word, and her face was red like a ripe apple.

Seeing that Cheng Mingyue's brows were frowning and she could kill mosquitoes, Jiang Wan was finally willing to spare her, "You sleep here, I'll lay on the floor." ”

As she spoke, she stood up and sat down on the floor next to the bed.

Seeing this, Cheng Mingyue strode over and scooped her up with one hand, without letting her face the cold swishing floor tiles at all.

"No, you sleep in bed." Cheng Mingyue said dryly, her voice a little hoarse.

Looking at her serious face, Jiang Wan pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "But I'm afraid of black ......"

However, as if she had made up her mind, she tried to curl the corners of her mouth, and reluctantly hooked a smile and said to Cheng Mingyue: "Okay, you can sleep on the sofa." ”

In the face of such a pitiful and touching face, no one could bear to leave her alone in this darkness for one night.

Cheng Mingyue is also one of them.

Although the mind on one side is still thinking, don't vampires love the dark and don't like the sun, why-

Reason is only half a moment, and the maternal attribute buried in the heart attacks the brain, and the mouth is faster than the brain.

"I'll lay on the floor, and you sleep on the bed."

The words blurted out, and Cheng Mingyue instantly regretted it.

Jiang Wan didn't give her a chance to regret it, she said: "Okay! ”

She happily looked at Cheng Mingyue's embarrassed appearance that had just opened her mouth slightly and was forced to close, and then said, "Can I take a bath?" ”

Jiang Wan held one arm in one hand and asked with her head tilted.

Cheng Mingyue gritted her teeth, pursed her lips and walked to the bed.

She crouched down and reached under the bed and pulled out a suitcase.

Jiang Wan stepped aside and looked curiously.

Cheng Mingyue opened the zipper of the suitcase and opened it, and there were neatly stacked clothes inside.

She took a set of clothes and put them on the bed, then quickly pushed the suitcase back to its original shape and pushed it back under the bed.

She stood up, picked up her clothes and handed them to Jiang Wan, "Clean." ”

Jiang Wan took it with both hands and thanked him with a slight smile.

Cheng Mingyue turned sideways, raised her arm and pointed out, and said, "There is a toilet on the left hand side of the door, and there is hot water." ”

Jiang Wan looked in the direction of her finger, and it was so dark that she couldn't see anything.

But she nodded, "Okay." ”

Jiang Wan held her clothes and smeared and found the door of the toilet, the doorknob was a little cold to the touch, she pushed the door open and went in.

There is a mirror in front of the door, and the figure is shining on it, inexplicably a little infiltrating.

Jiang Wan tilted her head to look at this small toilet, facing the door is a half-person-high sink, and on the right hand side is a squatting toilet, and there is a shower directly above the squatting toilet.

Jiang Wan pursed her mouth, she really has a long experience, isn't she afraid of falling off her shoes when she takes a bath like this.

Fortunately, the shower can be disassembled, Jiang Wan took off the change of clothes and put it on the sink, carefully took off the shower, put the sprinkler head against the squatting urinal, and turned on the water.

What flowed out was cold water, and the early autumn night was already a little cold, coupled with the chill brought by the cold water, Jiang Wan had a small pimple on his body.

She turned the switch again, and before the hot water came out, she thought the sprinkler was broken.

She turned off the water, walked to the door, pushed it open a small crack, and whispered outside: "Mingyue, the water is cold." ”

Cheng Mingyue heard it, she deeply adhered to the principle of ignoring incivility, stood by the bedroom door, leaned her head slightly against the door and said, "Open for a while, there will be hot water." ”

Jiang Wan listened, said "oh", went back again, obediently took off the shower, and turned on the water in the squatting urinal.

This time she put more water, and sure enough, the water temperature slowly warmed, but the temperature was still not high, only about the same as body temperature.

This is enough, Jiang Wan tried the water, and it was okay.

She pointed the sprinkler head at herself, and the slightly hot water splattered on her.

The wound he suffered at noon had long since healed, and he couldn't even see the scar at all.

Although she had wiped the blood stains at school, it was still not clean enough, and she could still feel a little wrinkled on her skin.

Now that I washed it with water, the feeling was relieved, and she rinsed inch by inch. Pain and exhaustion are all passed away with the water.

After taking a shower, Jiang Wan changed into the clothes and pants prepared by Cheng Mingyue, a simple color scheme, black five-point shorts and white short sleeves, the fabric is very soft and comfortable to fit the skin.

When she returned to the room, Cheng Mingyue had already laid out the floor - a small mattress was spread on the ground.

Cheng Mingyue sat on the ground, heard her footsteps, and turned sideways to look at her.

Coincidentally, the bedroom light came on and a call came.

The two looked at each other from a distance.

Jiang Wan was tall, and Cheng Mingyue was sitting on the ground again, and her head had to be tilted up slightly when she looked at her.

Jiang Wansheng is good-looking, with fair skin, just took a shower, her cheeks are a little crimson, her hair is still with water droplets, sticking to her forehead, the water slides down her cheeks, gathers on her chin, and a drop falls.

Cheng Mingyue's gaze also slid down with the water droplet.

She just sat like that, not moving.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Wan subconsciously felt that this girl was shy again.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she wanted to tease her again.

Jiang Wan smiled and moved forward towards Cheng Mingyue.

"Is this it?" Cheng Mingyue suddenly asked, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Wan, "The shackles that the human race gave you?" ”

The smile on Jiang Wan's face froze for a moment.

Following the direction she was pointing, Jiang Wan slowly moved her gaze.

At her ankles, on her snow-white skin, there was an abruptly black metal ring.

She had almost forgotten that she was still wearing something on her ankle.

Was it that she was so comfortable today that she got a little carried away?

After a moment's pause, she smiled again, trying to make herself look less concerned.

She walked over to the edge of the bed and sat down at the end of the bed.

Propped up the bed with both hands and looked sideways at Cheng Mingyue.

"yes, it's ugly." She laughed self-deprecatingly, and the smile was not as good as her eyes.

Cheng Mingyue didn't speak.

Jiang Wan's legs were folded together, stretching forward, her eyes fell on the black ring, and she continued.

"Actually, you don't have to be afraid of us, you look at this black ring, it's actually a handcuff."

"Our blood clan will not break away from the control of the human race, we can't hurt you, we won't use our abilities, and we won't suck your blood."

As she spoke, her voice lowered, as if she were muttering to herself.

"Otherwise...... This one will power me, it will hurt a lot, it's really ......"

In the end, there was almost no sound to be heard, and the ethereal smoke dispersed through the room.

The jet-black rings still look shiny at night.

This black ring has always been a thorn in her heart, reminding her from moment to moment that there is an insurmountable gap between herself and the human race.

The existence of this shackle speaks for itself, and under the Terran system, she is a prisoner and a sinner.

Terrans are forced to be handcuffed only if they have committed a crime, but in Terran law, whether they have committed a crime or not, the Terran must be put on this black and terrifying thing.

She didn't want anyone to see it, she had always hidden it well, but today-

The brilliance in her eyes gradually dimmed, and she didn't know where her gaze stopped, her eyes were empty.

Cheng Mingyue didn't expect that Jiang Wan, who had always been high in her opinion, would live such a humble life.

Seeing her like this, Cheng Mingyue felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

She stood up and cautiously approached Jiang Wan, her steps were very light.

She stood beside her, raised her hand to pat her shoulder, hand dangling in the air.

After all, she withdrew her hand and bit her lip, and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”

Her eyebrows were pressed very low, and there was a hint of resentment and pity in her eyes.

Even she herself would not have thought that in just one day, her attitude towards Jiang Wan would be full of twists and turns, and in the end, it would be her turn to "feel sorry" for Jiang Wan.

Perhaps, if it weren't for this leg cuff, Jiang Wan would not have been beaten so badly by Lu Linyu.

The method that the students discussed in the school and used to bind the blood clan turned out to be to shackle them.

This was the first time she felt from Jiang Wan's standpoint, and she had also thought about how the government restrained the blood clan before.

In the past, she actually felt that the blood clan lived very freely, which was enviable.

Perhaps feeling Cheng Mingyue's apology, Jiang Wan raised her head again, and smiled brightly on her face: "Actually, it's nothing, sometimes I think it's pretty good-looking." She lifted the leg and playfully said, "It's not like a decorative ankle ring." ”

She put her hand to her lips and yawned.

"I'm sleepy, let's sleep."

She smiled and looked up at Cheng Mingyue.

Cheng Mingyue noticed that Jiang Wan was changing the topic, and she was also taking care of her own feelings, not wanting her to feel guilty.

Cheng Mingyue glanced deeply, why didn't this girl get angry, why did she care about her feelings.

Obviously, he used to be so indifferent to her.

Cheng Mingyue wanted to ask her, why she lived so carefully, and why she was so good to her.

She couldn't ask.

Cheng Mingyue turned sideways, walked on the paved bunk and knelt down.

"Well, let's sleep." She leaned over and blew out the candles.

As she moved, the candlelight went out, and the faint but strong light vanished.

Jiang Wan climbed into bed, covered the quilt and lay down.

The quilt has the fragrance of Cheng Mingyue's body, and it also exudes a faint smell of sunshine.

Jiang Wan pulled the quilt under her nose and breathed softly.

She lay on her side, her eyes following Cheng Mingyue.

"Good night." She said softly.

Cheng Mingyue didn't respond, pursed her lips and turned off the lamp with a wooden face.

It was dark again.

Just when Jiang Wan thought she wouldn't say anything more, Cheng Mingyue's voice sounded.

Qing Qing was cold, her voice was very low, and her speed of speech was a little fast, she said:

"Good night."
