Chapter 45: Couple in the making!

Suddenly, the sound of the door of the infirmary opening could be heard in the room. Nevis curiously looked over. As soon as the door opened wide for a person to pass through, Nevis saw Leila entering the room. A few trays filled to the brim with various delicacies were floating behind her and one was held in her hand. A single tray was filled with enough food to feed five people. After she had placed all the food onto the table, she sat down on a chair spotted near Vincent's bed.

"Big brother and little brother haven't eaten anything for a while. They will feel hungry once they wake up. Thankfully, I came prepared and brought some of their favorite dishes with me. There's more than enough for the three of us." Leila thought as her gentle gaze landed upon Vincent and Peter. They were both unconscious–a result of their own suicidal and masochistic actions.

She placed her smooth and petite hands on Vincent's forehead. "I hope you will wake up soon or else the food will get cold," Leila said as she rubbed his forehead.

Although he was fast asleep, an expression of comfort could be seen taking over Vincent's face.

On the other hand, Nevis stared at Leila intensely. One look at her pretty face and slender figure caused the eyes of Nevis to turn into saucers. How could such a cute girl that looks like a cute little bunny exist? Why is she being so good to another man?

"So pretty. Beautiful sister, are you also an examinee?" Nevis asked as he looked at her. He already knew that she was an examinee. He was just trying to strike a conversation with her.

"Yes," Leila replied coldly without even glancing once in his direction signifying that she has no interest in talking with a stranger.

Nevis took her casual attitude at face value. He felt sad as the beauty have completely ignored him. His sadness was short-lived as hunger took over. Attracted by the smell of the food that lingered in the surroundings, he looked at the food as his belly growled with hunger.

"Beautiful sister, can I have one?" He said while pointing at one of the trays placed on the table.

"Hmm, okay." Leila passed a tray with the least amount of delicacies to him. "If you want more than just tell the droids or the faculty members."

"Thanks but I don't think I will need any more than this." Nevis nodded and he then proceeded to fill his stomach with delicious food. 'Oh my god! This is what real food feels like. My tongue tingles as the delicious aroma of the dishes bursts in my mouth. It's so delicious! Ah, I am no longer in that hellhole. There are no servants to bully me, here. I will no longer see the eyes of my father that had always looked at me with disappointment. I have escaped the torture of my crazy step-siblings that would beat me, lock me up in a dark basement, and starve me for days. These are the beginning of my wonderful days,' Nevis thought in pleasure as he stuffed his mouth with meat and salty side dishes. The mouthful of saucy meat and fried potatoes went down his throat with a single gulp. Then, he once again stuffed his face with another mouthful of food. All of this, he streamed it to his live stream's viewers.

Most of the viewers only had the following thoughts in their minds.

"Damn! He is a mukbang beast!"

"Who is that pretty lady?"

"Hey, man, stop eating and ask for her number!"

Unable to hear their replies, Nevis continued to eat like a hungry beast, filling the emptiness in his tummy.

A while later, the eyes of Peter squeezed.

"Sis, what are you doing here? What about the tests? Are the examiners holding one right now?! Did we miss one?!!" Peter asked once he woke up.

"Shh. big brother is still sleeping."

After she said those words, Leila slowly explained what happened after Peter lost his consciousness. Nevis already knew about all that as Jun have explained it to him.

"I understand. So the next assessments will be held tomorrow, that's great." Peter said as he exhaled a breath of relief, releasing tension that had bubbled up inside his body. "I can smell food. Is that for us?"

"It's for you. After all, I knew you will be feeling famished once you wake up."

"You are the best sister in the world," Peter exposed a wide smile as he spoke before picking up a tray that had dishes that he liked the most.

After a while of massaging his head like a faithful wife, Leila felt physically tired and mentally exhausted, and drowsiness could be seen slowly taking roots in her pretty eyes.

Waking up from his sleep feeling dazed, tired, and confused, a familiar scent of sweet flower assaulted his senses. He was very familiar with this scent. Ever since he became a demi-human, a certain someone scent started to attract him. It was a young woman, a very pretty one.

"Big brother, you are finally awake," Leila exclaimed cheerfully.

Vincent turned to look at the source of the sweet voice tainted with hints of worries, only to see Leila's pair of large, gleaming eyes looking at him, and the two looked into each other eyes seemingly having no intentions to look away. Vincent could see that her eyes were filled with worry while Leila saw his scarlet eyes brimming with unexplainable desires.

"Do you know how worried I was?" Leila broke the silence as she spoke in

"Sorry for worrying you," Vincent said as he patted her soft fur-like white hair. "As you can see, I'm alright."

"Yes, I am relieved," Leila said.

At the very moment, the doors to the balcony slid open and Jun entered the room once again.

"Oh, you guys are finally awake. How are you feeling?" He asked as he looked at Vincent and Peter.

As a mouthful of food was in his mouth, Peter gave him a thumbs-up signifying that he was feeling perfectly fine.

"I'm feeling alright, just a little tired," Vincent replied.

"Well, that's because you overworked your blood vessel."

As Leila moved the chair to the corner of the bed, Jun stepped up to Vincent. After Jun checked his pulse and his temperature, he said, "Your conditions are currently stable, but it'll worsen if you strain your blood vessel once again. It will better if you do not use your innate traits for around four days."

"I understand," Vincent nodded.

"Great. I will be stepping out for a while. Once you are done eating, you guys may return to your respective rooms." Jun said before he left the room in a hurry, making his way to meet Senior Theodore.

"Big brother, let's eat." Leila placed a tray on her lap while facing Vincent.

"Blood soup, blood sausages, blood pancake... the food in this tray is just to my taste." Vincent licked his lips as he stared at the delicacies that stirred his hunger and desires.
