“Junior Yuchen’s flustered appearance is also quite cute,” Kristia glanced at his fingertips, shimmering with a moist sheen. “See, the wound is healing, right?”

“B-But…”

“But what?” Kristia asked back. “When there’s a wound, it should be cleaned promptly, right?”

Cleaned… Su Yuchen involuntarily glanced at Kristia’s slightly glistening lips… saliva is water, so it doesn’t seem wrong.

“Do you think I did something wrong, Junior brother?” Kristia blinked.

“I… I don’t know,” Su Yuchen mumbled.

“I’m a top student; what I say is definitely correct,” Kristia adjusted her glasses, exuding an aura of an academic genius, which she indeed was.

“Oh.” Su Yuchen lowered his head, pretending to examine his injured finger under the table.

A hint of amusement flashed in Kristia’s eyes. Although the light bulb exploded this time, she was in a good mood. A good explosion.

But that didn’t mean there wouldn’t be compensation.

There had been enough contact now. Due to baseless rumors, it was not advisable to get too close. Today’s interaction would end here.

“Junior Yuchen, military training is starting soon; you should head over.”

“What about you, Senior Tia?” Su Yuchen subconsciously asked.

“I have class too.”

“Oh.” Su Yuchen stood up, somewhat disappointed. “Well then, Senior, I’ll go first.”

“Go ahead.” Kristia nodded. “By the way, I might not be able to bring you milk tea this afternoon. Sorry~”

“I-It’s fine.” Su Yuchen, looking embarrassed at the mention of milk tea, lowered his head and left the restaurant.

‘Ha! You were definitely thinking about something naughty with me just now, little virgin, can’t control yourself, huh? Hmph!’

Kristia picked up her thermos and stood up. Next to her came a teasing voice, not too loud: “Tia, you’ve changed your taste. Weren’t you uninterested in men?”

Kristia turned to look at her good friend, Vivian, from the same clan who was also the only one in the Sky City who knew her identity. “He’s mine. Hands off.”

“Miss’s orders, how could I dare disobey?” Vivian chuckled, leaning closer and nudging Kristia’s arm with her elbow. “Who’s that freshman, huh? How did he attract your attention?”

As she spoke, she glanced at Su Yuchen’s departing figure. Apart from being good-looking, his scent was quite ordinary.

Kristia stepped forward. “After tasting a lot of beautiful delicacies, it’s time to switch and taste some ordinary home-cooked food.”

Vivian shrugged. “But does that mean you should pick a man with such an ordinary scent? His blood’s scent is so faint. Is he very weak?”

“I have a taste for it, is that a problem?”

“As a commoner, I really don’t understand Miss’s taste.” Vivian teased and followed along.

“What about you? Have you had enough of the blood bags provided by the school these days?”

“Not bad, we, the Newmoon Clan, aren’t as addicted as those old folks.”

“Okay then… don’t follow me. What if you get suspected?”

“We’re classmates and heading in the same direction. Any issue with that?”

“Yes!”

“Alright then, I’m going to find that junior sister I just set my eyes on and have some fun. Bye-bye.”

…

The scorching sun persisted.

Bathed in the blazing sunlight, not worried about any mishap, Su Yuchen glanced at his fingertip… luckily, he wasn’t too twisted; otherwise, he’d have licked it for sure.

And… she’s really good at sucking blood.

If it wasn’t from the finger but from…

Cough!

A light cough helped him shake off his fantasies. He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his military uniform and headed toward the playground.

“She said she’d take me to eat delicious food, but I’m the one who treated her to something delicious…”

Mumbling softly, Su Yuchen remembered the unfortunate incident with the exploding light bulb. He intentionally teased Kristia like that and was quite satisfied with the result.

Besides physical contact with Kristia, her attitude towards him internally could also avert misfortunes.

It seemed his unfortunate constitution had become a sort of indicator for goodwill.

But why could Xia Yushuang also sometimes avert his misfortune?

“Forget it. I’ve gotten a good result from Tia Yufei. The specific reasons will become clear as we continue to interact.”

Arriving at the playground, military training hadn’t started yet, so he found a shaded spot to rest for a while.

Not staying in the school dorms was inconvenient in this regard… In the future, attending classes meant no midday naps at home.

…

Military training was dull and boring. Kristia didn’t come in the afternoon, not just due to rumors but also because she didn’t want to come out in the scorching sun.

Although modern vampires were no longer afraid of sunlight, they were creatures most active at night and naturally disliked sunlight.

After finishing the afternoon training and participating in an hour of evening recreational activities, the commuting students could head home early.

Walking out of the school gates, he didn’t spot Xia Yushuang anywhere within sight… As expected, he had angered her.

Entering the city area, the Judgement Blades of Magic Adjudication Bureau were still patrolling. The sudden disappearance of a deputy captain-level Judgement Blade wasn’t a small matter.

The Magic Adjudication Bureau, known for its efficiency, still hadn’t found any results, indicating they probably couldn’t catch the culprit.

However, the nights in the Sky City had regained their liveliness these days as unregistered vampires had stopped their criminal activities.

“All thanks to me.”

Thinking this as he walked, Su Yuchen chuckled. “They should give me a medal for this.”

As he spoke—

Vroom, vroom!

The all too familiar engine revving.

The modified motorbike’s engine noise didn’t exceed the noise pollution regulations of the Sky City. The bright light instantly illuminated the street, drawing a silver-white line of light on the road, then—

A muffled “bang” accompanied by screeching brakes.

This time, it wasn’t a brake failure or engine malfunction; it was a tire blowout.

The out-of-control motorbike swerved, unbelievably heading towards Su Yuchen on the sidewalk again.

The high beams dazzled him, and Su Yuchen squinted.

Senior Jiang Shengyue’s motorbike… was eyeing him?

Just as he was about to dodge, the motorbike, at a peculiar angle under Jiang Shengyue’s control, didn’t overturn but instead produced a lot of smoke and a few sparks from the wheel rims due to the hard brake.

Finally—

Different place, but the same distance.

Sizzle—

When the sparking motorbike stopped in front of him, Su Yuchen raised his right hand, once again catching a screw.

The third one.

Being able to control such a heavy motorbike even with a flat tire, this senior sister’s ability was indeed exceptional.

Su Yuchen looked at the figure on the motorbike.

“Phew… sorry, sorry, didn’t scare you, did I… hmm? You… it’s you?”

“Why is it you again?”
