Second Night Elegant Bloodline Training 1
There was hazy fog all around, my mind was blank and I walked forward mechanically.
After a while, a door appeared in front of me and I opened it puzzledly.
A table full of delicious food was laid out in a cross shape, emitting wisps of steam.
My father, wearing glasses, was sitting at the dining table reading a newspaper, and my mother, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with my favorite stinky tofu.
"You're back! Dinner will be ready soon!" Mom came over with a smile and took away the schoolbag on my back.
Dad also put down the newspaper and smiled at me lovingly, "Our Xiaoye is back! Come and have dinner!"
"Gurgle, gurgle" - my stomach cooperated and sang the empty city plan.
Dad and Mom immediately smiled in understanding.
I touched my stomach embarrassedly, sat down at the dining table, picked up the bowl and started to eat.
The rice bowl contained bright red soup that smelled pungently of garlic.
"Mom! Are you cooking some weird food again?" I yelled in dissatisfaction.
Mom stood beside me with a smile on her face. She rubbed the top of my head and said with a gentle smile, "Our Xiaoye has grown up. It's time for him to absorb life energy."
I looked back in shock and saw that the bowl on the table was full of bright red liquid.
"I'm not a monster! I don't want to consume other people's life energy!" I overturned the dining table and closed my eyes to escape.
“I’m not a monster!” I screamed, sitting up and finding myself in an unfamiliar room.
Phew! It turned out to be a dream!
I grabbed the thin blanket covering me and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead.
Suddenly, I heard a voice in standard Mandarin: "Since ancient times, the blood descendants have been an evil race. The most direct way to deal with them is to expose them to the sun..."
I turned my head and saw a huge LCD screen embedded in the wall, playing a particularly old-looking... documentary?
In the black and white picture, a blood descendant with exposed canine teeth was tied to a tree trunk. A group of people in cloaks removed the parasol from his head. The poor blood descendant immediately let out a miserable cry, gradually turned into smoke and dust, and was blown away by the wind... There was a line of words in the lower right corner of the screen - "Guide to Hunting Blood Descendants".
I couldn't help shuddering.
When I looked away from the cruel scene, I noticed that there was a person sitting next to the bed, watching this inhumane video intently.
The hem of that man's clothes was adorned with sparkling exorcism gems that dazzled my eyes.
I quickly turned away my eyes that were almost blinded by the light.
"Hey, are you awake?"
The person who was watching the documentary with great interest turned around and smiled brightly.
I quickly smiled back reflexively: "Yes."
Then I was stunned.
Isn’t the person sitting on the bed watching TV the “miracle boy” I saw this morning?
When I thought that he might tie me to a tree trunk and leave me in the sun like the people in the expansion pack, I felt uncomfortable all over.
The boy probably noticed my uneasiness, so he explained sympathetically: "Don't be afraid, this is just a little hobby of mine."
I stared at him defensively.
The young man scratched his hair in annoyance, and continued, "I'm just more interested in how to kill the blood descendants..."
Seeing my face suddenly turn pale, he probably finally realized the fear in my heart, so he spread his hands and tried his best to pretend to be harmless: "Look, I won't hurt you!"
I looked at the gem dangling from the hem of his shirt with an accusing look.
He probably felt that what he said was not convincing, so he pondered for a while, then clapped his hands and shouted: "That's right! I am also a blood descendant, I can teach you a lot of knowledge that blood descendants must learn!"
Although I really wanted to say "Stop kidding", I just didn't have the courage to do so when facing a stranger who was interested in studying how to kill vampires.
"Don't be afraid! Was it a blond boy who asked you to come to me?" The young man changed the subject very familiarly, "My name is Huang Mingxi! I'm the owner of this castle!"
Blond boy? I don’t know any blond boy! Huang Mingxi? Huang? Could he be the doctor I’m looking for?
How could the “Doctor” be a teenager who only looks fifteen or sixteen years old!
"Hey! Your disbelief is written all over your face! How rude!" The boy who claimed to be Huang Mingxi picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, looking at me with interest, "Don't look at me as a child, I am your senior!"
Seeing that he had a very friendly smile from beginning to end, I couldn't help but relax my guard: "Do you really know the blood descendants?"
Huang Mingxi raised his chin confidently: "No one in this world knows blood descendants better than me! Also, as a new blood descendant, the first lesson you have to learn is to respect your elders!"
"Oh!" I nodded perfunctorily, "Then... do you know how to turn me back into a human?"
"Ah?" Huang Mingxi was stunned. "Don't you want to be a blood descendant?"
When I thought about how I was about to become a terrifying non-human, I wanted to go back in time and strangle that self-willed descendant! I was clearly a young girl who loved the sun and sports! But now I was facing the crisis of losing the sun and my family!
When I thought about the fact that I would only be able to hide in a dark room and secretly watch others laughing in the sun, without having close friends and without being able to reunite with my parents, tears of sadness filled my eyes.
A box of napkins was handed to me, and Huang Mingxi looked at me with pity: "I understand you! This feeling of loneliness is terrible. Good boy, wipe your tears quickly."
I awkwardly pulled out a piece of paper to wipe the tears from my cheeks.
I actually cried in front of the "miracle boy" while imagining the miserable life in the future! How embarrassing!
When I thought that “Huang Mingxi can help me recover as a human being”, I cheered up again - maybe the "future" that I feared would never come true!
I calmed down my excitement and looked at Huang Mingxi eagerly: "You must know how to turn me back into a human, right? Can you help me?"
Huang Mingxi's expression became a little awkward. He quickly looked away, his pink lips slightly pursed into a straight line.
What does this mean? Doesn't he want to help me at all?
I panicked immediately. "Finding Huang Mingxi" was like a life-saving straw to me. It was the only way for me to turn back into a human.
What should I do if Huang Mingxi is unwilling to help me?
With a panic in my heart, I quickly climbed up and grabbed his clothes. The small gem was held in my hand, and it felt cold. At this moment, I forgot my fear of the exorcism gem. I looked at him anxiously: "Please! Mr. Doctor! Help me turn back into a human!"
Huang Mingxi looked down at my hands and suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid of the exorcist gem?"
"No..." I answered blankly. Perhaps because I haven't completely become a blood descendant, I am not afraid of the sun or gems.
But maybe I’ll be afraid in the future!
Huang Mingxi held his chin thoughtfully, looking at my hands for a while, and then staring into my eyes.
Suddenly, he stretched out his hand, raised his chin towards me, his eyes sparkling.
I was full of questions and had no idea what he wanted me to do.
"Don't you want to bite it?" Huang Mingxi asked softly.
I immediately covered my mouth nervously.
I have personally experienced the feeling of having my teeth itching and wanting to pounce on someone and tear them to pieces. Although I don't have the urge to pounce on someone right now, who knows if it will happen in the next second!
Huang Mingxi raised his eyebrows and retracted his fair hand, a puzzled look on his face: "Strange, you should have become a blood descendant immediately after being bitten by 'him', how is it possible that you can still maintain human characteristics until now..."
I looked at him in confusion, feeling extremely nervous.
"Ah!" Huang Mingxi suddenly jumped up, "I know! You must be one of those 'atypical infected people'!"
He picked up a book that was more than ten centimeters thick from the bedside table and muttered to himself as he flipped through the pages: "For some humans, the process of transforming into a blood descendant is very long. That's because there is a kind of 'blood descendant antibody' in their blood... But even if the process is long, they will eventually become a blood descendant... There are no exceptions..."
As he spoke, I went from being full of hope to gradually feeling lost and then to complete despair, all in less than a minute.
Huang Mingxi put the book back to its original place and said with a little regret: "So far, there is no way to turn a vampire back into a human, but your current situation is a good sign. Maybe you can create a miracle!"
As he spoke, his eyes sparkled again.
He rubbed my head soothingly and said with a smile: "Keep working hard! I will also try my best to find information to help you!"
I nodded dumbly.
Facing this smiling face that captivated me, I felt like I was hypnotized and wanted to agree to everything he said.
This must be God's favor to me! Although I was facing the biggest crisis since I was born, the God of Destiny made me meet Huang Mingxi, the boy with the most beautiful smile in the world!
But it's a pity, Huang Mingxi is younger than me, otherwise I would definitely fall in love with him at first sight. However, facing such a beautiful and lovely boy, a desire to protect him gradually ignited in my heart.
Gratitude, admiration, love...all kinds of emotions lingered in my heart. I couldn't help but hold Huang Mingxi's hands, looked at him devoutly and said, "I will definitely work hard!"
Then I remembered another urgent matter, so I asked awkwardly: "Um... does your castle need a cleaner? I'm homeless now... so..."
The castle is so big, and I only saw Huang Mingxi from beginning to end. Maybe I can work in the castle and get a free meal...
Huang Mingxi blinked, seeming to be wondering why I asked this question: "No, I don't need it."
I couldn't help feeling disappointed, and I scratched my hair in embarrassment: "Haha... really..."
" But..." Huang Mingxi hesitated for a moment, "Aren't you the servant he hired?"
He? A maid?
What is he saying?
I have a lot of questions.
Huang Mingxi carefully observed my confused expression and said hesitantly: "Do you remember who bit you?"
As he said this, he pointed at my neck.
I touched the wound which still stung a little, and found that the only thing in my memory was the cold flash of teeth and the unbearable pain after the teeth pierced my skin. As for who was the culprit, I couldn't remember it at all.
I shuddered at the horrible memory, then shook my head honestly.
"Then who asked you to come to me?" Huang Mingxi looked unconvinced, "And you actually met me safely!"
"It's a..." I was about to stretch out my hands to draw a stroke, but suddenly I found that my memory was a little disordered. It seemed that someone told me about Huang Mingxi, but I couldn't remember who it was. "Why can't I remember it..."
I frowned and tried hard to recall, but I couldn't remember anything, as if... someone had taken my memory away. So I said a little embarrassedly: "Well... I don't remember who told me... maybe this is fate! Haha..."
Huang Mingxi looked at me with a complicated expression, and there was even a trace of inexplicable pity on his face: "If that's the case, then you can help with the three meals."
After that, he reminded her worriedly, "You will stay here for the time being. Remember not to wander around the castle casually. Although you have not yet transformed into a complete blood descendant, it is still better to be careful."
I hugged Huang Mingxi excitedly: "Thank you! Mr. Doctor! You are such a good person!"
Huang Mingxi was stunned for a moment, and began to struggle: "You! What are you doing!!"
If the hug at the beginning was my subconscious reaction, then after Huang Mingxi's almost negligible "resistance", I was blatantly taking advantage of Huang Mingxi.
It was a hot summer day, but Huang Mingxi's body temperature was very low. He was cool in my arms, and it was so comfortable! The soft touch and the faint rose scent emanating from him made me reluctant to leave. I once again sighed in my heart: How nice it would be if I had a brother like this! I couldn't help but rub against Huang Mingxi's chest.
“Let…let me go! You rude human!” Perhaps frightened by my bold action, Huang Mingxi pushed me away in a panic.
I had no choice but to let go of her hands and explained insincerely: "This is just a hug to express my gratitude, not to molest you! Don't get me wrong!"
Huang Mingxi's fair ears suddenly turned red. He bit his pink lips and stared at me for a long time before saying, "Vampires are all elegant and noble! How can you be like this! How shameless!"
After a short time together, my feelings towards Huang Mingxi have changed from awe to love like a younger brother. In my boring family, my mother is a workaholic and a destroyer, my father is a science madman and an idiot in life, and I have become independent too early because I have to take care of my parents who have no self-care ability since I was a child. I am used to taking care of others, but how could I meet a cute boy with a beautiful smile like Huang Mingxi? Soft emotions quickly filled my heart, making me want to hug Huang Mingxi and rub his hair, and then say to him: "Be good!"
"You! You really don't repent!" Seeing me looking at him "lustfully", Huang Mingxi's face turned completely red, "No! I must educate you to be an elegant blood descendant!"
When I thought about the possibility of becoming a monster that sucks life energy in the future, I frowned: "I don't want to become a blood descendant!"
Huang Mingxi showed his shining white teeth and smiled sinisterly: "This is not up to you. If you don't want to accept my 'teachings', you are not allowed to live here!"
Although his smile is cute, shouldn’t “doctors” be kind and gentle?
I am being threatened! Right?
After wandering around the Rose Castle for a few days, I came to a conclusion: the Rose Castle should not be called a "castle", we should call it Rose Manor!
why?
Because the Rose Castle is surrounded by a vast rose garden that stretches as far as the eye can see. Standing on the roof of the castle, you can see a bright red ocean. The rose garden vaguely intersects with the horizon, and you can't see the boundary at all. I don't know who takes care of so many roses.
Behind the Rose Castle, there is a hall with a separate entrance and exit, which is Huang Mingxi's "laboratory". According to my observation, there has been no third person in the castle so far. Huang Mingxi said that he hates noisy humans, so the castle is forbidden to enter on weekdays. But if this "on weekdays" covers the entire week from Monday to weekend, does it mean that the castle is not open to the public at all?
Except for the laboratory with an entrance at the back of the villa, this castle can be regarded as a home-style castle. The kitchen and living room are on the first floor, the second floor includes the master bedroom and study, and I am placed in the attic.
In fact, there is an empty room on the second floor. Huang Mingxi once warned me seriously not to approach that room casually. Aren't there usually "doors that cannot be opened" in castles? I can understand this, so until now, when I pass by the room at the staircase, I always walk around it by sticking to the wall.
Then, I discovered a secret. The "miracle boy" Huang Mingxi, who has an invincible smile, looks cute, but actually has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, especially some of his behaviors, which are simply outrageous!
Huang Mingxi is extremely picky about food.
For breakfast he only wants black tea and fried eggs.
I don’t know much about black tea, and I don’t understand what’s so special about tea leaves in jars. I even think that black tea is not as delicious as boiled water. But Huang Mingxi doesn’t think so. The water used to make tea is “melt water from glaciers”. After boiling, the water needs to be left alone for half a minute, and the tea leaves can only be brewed when the water temperature drops to 95℃. The teapot used to make tea is said to be a top-grade purple clay teapot, because the purple clay teapot has good air permeability and will not change the taste of the tea leaves... It’s okay to say that about making tea, but this guy actually put sugar cubes in the tea! If you are not used to drinking black tea, don’t force yourself! It’s so pretentious! It’s so awkward!
As for fried eggs, one side must be cooked through while the other side must be raw. This is not a problem for me, after all, frying eggs is just an entry-level cooking skill.
He only wants steak and red wine for lunch.
Huang Mingxi eats steak without any seasoning, only rare, and only eats 30 grams each time. The first time I heard him say this, I thought he was joking. 30 grams? Feeding mice? But then I thought, I guess he can't even eat 1 gram of rare steak without any seasoning. Maybe this super picky eater secretly eats snacks to fill his stomach? So I let it go.
As for the red wine, since I am still underage, of course I can't drink it! But Huang Mingxi said that red wine is a drink to soothe the mood, and drinking a little is good for the body, so I will start learning how to drink red wine today!
Dinner... For Huang Mingxi, is there such a thing as dinner? I lived in the castle for a week, and every night I had a plate of fruit for dinner.
Fortunately, Huang Mingxi never asked me to eat the same thing as him, so I am still well fed and well-fed for the time being.
Huang Mingxi is a super lazy guy, and his favorite thing to do is to hide in the study and watch expansion packs. And this guy's schedule is so messed up that it makes people frustrated.
When I got up in the middle of the night to drink water, I found that the light in the study on the second floor was on; when I got up at dawn to make breakfast, I found that the light in the study was still on; when I was about to take a nap at noon, I found Huang Mingxi in the study; when I woke up from my nap in the afternoon, I found Huang Mingxi was still in the study.
So, I can find Huang Mingxi in the study at any time of the day.
I originally thought that this guy used the study as his home, after all, Huang Mingxi's study was incredibly large, and there was a bed for resting. But when I was cleaning the study, I found that the bed and sofa in the study had not been used at all. And Huang Mingxi's own room had remained in the state after the cleaning since I sweated profusely on the first day - in short, it had not been used.
I thought he was working hard for a job, but he was watching a video about how to kill the blood descendants all the time. Is it really good for a blood descendant doctor to be so cruel? And he is so keen on studying how to kill the blood descendants, is it really safe for me to be his "blood descendant maid"?
But what I am most worried about is his health - this guy who is never resting when I am awake, won’t his body be able to bear such an irregular schedule?
" Nude! You've been staring at my face for too long!"
Huang Mingxi placed the wine glass on the dining table in dissatisfaction and snorted coldly, finally waking me up from my daydreaming state.
I shyly retracted my gaze and stirred the winter melon and pork ribs soup in the bowl as if to cover up: "Um... don't you need to sleep?"
According to my previous observation, Huang Mingxi's skin was pale and unhealthy. Because his skin was too white, he could not see any dark circles under his eyes. However, pale skin itself represented unhealthiness.
Huang Mingxi lowered his eyes and looked at the steak on the plate, and said casually: "When you want to sleep, you will sleep naturally."
It seems that he still takes a rest, but I just haven't seen it.
Seeing him cutting the already small pieces of beef in an elegant manner, I couldn't help but wonder: "You only eat this much every day, don't you feel hungry?"
Huang Mingxi glanced at me unhappily, put down his knife and fork, picked up the goblet and swung it gently: "It would be nice to have this."
As the rose-red liquid created seductive ripples in the glass, I couldn't help but frown: "Don't drink too much red wine."
To be precise, shouldn't minors be allowed to drink alcohol?
"This is called nectar." Huang Mingxi motioned for me to take a sip. "It should suit your taste. Also, it can provide the energy your body needs. When you become a blood descendant, you won't feel hungry after drinking this."
I used to think it was red wine, so I kept my distance from it. But now that Emperor Mingxi said this, I couldn't help but become curious.
I picked up the glass, put it under my nose and sniffed it, and sure enough, I didn't smell any alcohol.
