Chapter 160

Both of them stood at the door but Xu Si didn’t invite Xi Ning to sit down in the room first. Xi Ning also looked very nervous and restrained. Seeing this, No.1 took a chair and handed it to Xi Ning.

Xi Ning whispered a thank you, and sat stiffly on the chair.

Xu Si was still grabbing his left hand and gently applying the ointment on his hand. The cold sensation of the ointment penetrated into the skin as soon as it was applied, but he only felt a slight pain.

Xi Ning tried his best to recall what happened when he and Xu Si first met. The night when he bit Xu Si for the first time, the satisfying feeling after drinking blood made the vampire’s reaction very slow, and he only remembered some vague memories. After Xu Si asked his name, Xu Si seemed to call him Ning Ning.

Even his parents never called him Ning Ning when he was a child. Xi Ning began to suspect that he misheard it. How could Xu Si call him like this?

However, the more Xi Ning thought about it, the more clearly he recalled what happened that day, and he could even remember Xu Si’s slightly low voice when he spoke near his ears.

Xi Ning’s ears turned red and he quietly glanced at Xu Si who was still applying ointment to his hand. Fortunately, Xu Si kept his head down to apply the ointment carefully and didn’t notice his abnormality.

No.1 also did not disturb them and was standing alone by the bed while looking out the window.

Other than this incident, Xu Si also appeared at Jian Yue’s shop at a later time and Xu Si also happened to run into him when he had nowhere to go last night, and now he even helped to apply the ointment on him.

Xi Ning called out the system and asked, “Does Xu Si know the original host of this body?”

The system didn’t dare say anything else, and only told him, “Master, this body has been buried in the cemetery for sixty years, and Xu Si was not born sixty years ago, so it is impossible for him to know the original host.”

Since they don’t know each other, why did Xu Si…… Xi Ning still thought that for Xu Si to act like this, he had an ulterior motive towards him.

The headgear has already been taken off, why didn’t I leave? Xi Ning thought to himself calmly, because it is daytime, if he escaped immediately, he would be exposed to the sun. Moreover, Xu Si must not be as kind as he looked. Maybe he had prepared some traps outside, just waiting for him to be caught.

Xi Ning planned to stay still for the time being to see what Xu Si was planning to do.

Thinking this way, Xi Ning relaxed a lot and sat quietly in front of Xu Si.

When the subordinate brought the ointment, he also took some medical gauze. After applying the ointment, Xu Si carefully bandaged around his wound, and finally tied a small bow on his index finger.

Xu Si exhorted Xi Ning, “Don’t touch the water today. You can probably remove it at night.”

Xi Ning withdrew his hand, and said blankly, “Say, what do you want to do?”

Xu Si stared at Xi Ning. He leaned back in the chair and said, “You drank my blood twice, and I brought you back. Is there any problem?”

Xi Ning did not expect that he would say this at all, and was stunned for a long time. “Then you…… are you going to ask me to pay?”

Xu Si couldn’t help but smile. He was actually joking, but he followed the conversation and said, “This is not necessary, but I hope you can stay here and work for me.”

“Work?”

“I still lack a personal bodyguard by my side,” Xu Si replied, “I will pay you a lot of money. If you still want to drink my blood, I can also consider adding this as your remuneration.”

It sounds like a good deal, maybe because only Xu Si can relieve his illness. Except for his blood, Xi Ning had no interest in and even disliked other people’s blood.

But Xi Ning did not immediately agree, his expression on his face seemed unmoved. “I am a vampire, and it is useless for me to have too much money. As for drinking blood, the streets are full of people.”

Xu Si was stunned for a while, and there were faint signs of unhappy emotion showing on his face, but he still said gently, “Do you have any other accommodation? If not, do you have money to rent a house? It should be difficult to find a job you can be interviewed for at night. Well, your best choice is to stay with me.”

Xi Ning still wanted to speak, but Xu Si interrupted him and continued, “You had a conflict with the customer at the shop last night, right? You ran out and wandered the street until so late, and didn’t want to go back soon even when it was near dawn. I guess you didn’t want to stay by Jian Yue’s side anymore right?”

These are all speculations by Xu Si based on his observations over this period of time. He guessed right. Xi Ning was silent for a few seconds. “You are monitoring me? I just came out temporarily. How do you know that I won’t go back?”

Xu Si didn’t refute the previous sentence, but slightly bent over to get closer to Xi Ning, wanting to reach out to touch the hair on his forehead but was quickly avoided by Xi Ning.

Xu Si didn’t mind his reaction. He withdrew his hand and persuaded softly, “Why do you want to be with a human being like Jian Yue?”

Xi Ning immediately put up his guard, because the last mission reminder he received was when Xu Si had doubts about Jian Yue’s identity. Xi Ning was worried that he would notice something, and his tone was obviously weaker. “You….. Aren’t you also a human?”

Xu Si thought his attitude was softened a bit, and said softly, “Stay by my side and I can give you more freedom and it’s more safe.”
