Soon after the couple arrived in London, Ann arrived in the United States.
When he found out that Qing'er had been injured by the Spanish bulls, he was also furious, but he did not show it.
An'an, at the age of twenty-one, was indeed Wen Yi Fei of the past. Moreover, he was more reserved than Wen Yi Fei. His words and actions were better than Wen Yi Fei's. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking or doing.
He left London the next day, knowing that Ching was all right.
On the night before they left, An An and Joseph, the two youths, left Lan Yufeng's house.
"Joseph, you are really going too far this time. You actually dragged Qing'er into your sin."
In the most inconspicuous corner of the noisy bar, An An looked at Joseph with displeasure.
"I was thinking too simply. I just wanted her to know the difficulties and retreat. I just wanted her to understand that my heart belongs to her."
Joseph drank the golden liquid in his glass. He knew that he was wrong. Luckily, Qing'er was still alive. Otherwise, he would never forgive himself in this life.
"You started fooling around twenty years ago, but this time you almost lost your life. Could it be that four years of amnesia made your brain's nerves shrink?"
Although Qing'er was fine, she was still brooding over the consequences of Joseph's reckless actions.
"An An, do you mean that I should stay away from Qing Er?"
Joseph took the wine from Anthea's hand and drank it up.
"Can you do it?"
"I don't know. I'll try."
Joseph's smile was uglier than crying. Could he do it? If he could do it, he wouldn't be in so much pain.
"I'll tell you a secret. Give me a promise."
Having been brothers for so many years, how could Anthea not understand. Even though he was not the elder brother to worry about his sister due to the presence of his parents, he was also a man.
"Secret?"
Joseph's eyes were red.
"Yes, Qing Er told my mother yesterday that as long as you stay in China, she will date you. From the moment you start dating, she will be the kind of person that you are to date."
An An nodded and focused on Joseph, watching her face change from grief to surprise to ecstasy.
"Did Qing'Er say it herself?"
Despite his ecstasy, Joseph still found it hard to believe that Qing'er had firmly rejected him the last time they were in China.
"Of course, although it may not be true, but there is always an opportunity. Our family thinks that you are more suitable for Qing Er."
An'an encouraged.
The bystanders knew that Qing'er's feelings for Joseph should have been more like those of a friend, but since ancient times, no one had made it mandatory for a couple to love each other to the point of death.
Those who loved each other so much that they would be happy for the rest of their lives. However, those who loved each other to the point that they might not have a good ending.
Far away, Liang Zhu from ancient China, the legendary Xu Xian and the White Wife, there were even more that came closer, not to mention this was the material era, who would talk about pure love?
This world was no longer the world of princes and princesses, let alone Qing Er who was almost killed by the prince in reality.
"What do you think is the good of it? If Qing Er herself told me that she was willing to be my girlfriend, it would be the happiest moment of my life. "
Joseph laughed.
"Fools have good fortune. Perhaps you will wait until this day."
Anthea laughed.
"I hope so, thank you, brother."
Joseph poured himself and Joseph drinks and clinked glasses.
The two of them sat in the bar for another half an hour before returning to the hotel.
Although Joseph had originally lived in Lan Yufeng's house, their identities were different. One was a politician, and the other was the crown prince of the underworld. Yesterday, Joseph had left the Lan family.
Another week passed, and Qing Er's wound had also healed. Wen Yi Fei and Wan'er were probably afraid that Lance's return would affect Qing Er, so they decided to leave.
"Uncle, Auntie, I'll send you to the airport."
Today, Joseph, who had obtained the safety intelligence, came to Lan Yufeng's house early and diligently helped them carry their luggage.
"Joseph, we're going back to China. When are you going back to Sicily?"
Qing'er asked as she packed her luggage.
Although she knew that she had to leave today, she seemed to be looking forward to something. She hadn't moved at all. She was almost at the airport when she started to pack up.
"Qing Er, do you really want me to go back?"
Joseph asked bitterly.
"You have to show it to Uncle Kyle, or he'll worry."
Qing'er was stunned as she looked at Joseph.
"I've already called. Father told me to take care of you."
Joseph did his best to 'bang bang...' He really wanted to hear Qing Er say that.
"I'm fine now, there's still one more summer to go back to. I'll be fine when the school starts."
Qing Er's mind was blank. She actually didn't want to go back. She wanted to wait for Lance and see his safe return.
But Aunt Nell told her that Lance had left Spain long ago because there had been some problems with the company's new drug after it went public in the United States. She didn't know when she would be able to return.
"Qing'er, I'm sorry, I …" I shouldn't have taken you to Spain. "
Joseph looked at Qing'er, suppressing what he wanted to say.
"No, Joseph. After this matter is over, there is no need for us to investigate whether we are right or wrong. I just want to ask you one thing. Do you really like me?"
Looking at Joseph's stuttering expression, Mommy's words once again rang out in Qing'er's ears.
Was Joseph really the best of all the opposite sex around her?
Although Uncle Blue Eyes and Father were the same age, he didn't seem to have changed at all in the past ten years. But now, there were obvious wrinkles at the corner of Father's eyes, people and vampires are really different, Lance might just be a dream about a prince in her childhood.
This time, the truth told her that she had to be more realistic and obedient. Although her life had been a little monotonous, she was still very happy to be with her family.
Would Joseph really be the prince who guarded him in her life?
"No, it's not love. It's love. When we were young, we didn't understand much about love, so we could say that we liked each other. But now, I can say with certainty that this is love, a love that will never change."
Joseph's blue eyes were determined sincerity. Perhaps he was not mature enough, but in terms of feelings, he was absolutely serious.
"Then... Will you accompany me in China? "
Qing'er bit her lip, still hesitating.
'If you want to fall in love, Joseph is definitely the best choice, 'he said. His mother's words kept repeating in his ears.
Joseph thought he was hallucinating. He couldn't react for a long time until Qing Er sighed and bent over to pack her clothes.
"Qing Er, what did you say just now?"
Joseph asked with a trembling voice.
Qing'er zipped up her travel bag and remained silent for a while.
"I don't want to give up on China for now. Are you going to accompany me there?"
"Qing'er, are you serious? Can I be delusional? "
Joseph's hands were shaking, and he didn't know where to put them.
"Josef, would you like to be my boyfriend?"
Qing'er closed her eyes and made her final struggle, saying the words everyone hoped for.
"I am willing. Qing'er, my wish has finally been fulfilled. You are my angel. Please allow me to be presumptuous."
Josef held her tightly, his heart beating like a drum.
Qing'er listened to the 'thump thump thump' sound of her heart beating. She realized that she was a bit cruel. But today, she wasn't cruel anymore. What about another day?
To whom would this decision, which was to suit everyone's wishes, end up being cruel?
"Thank you for always waiting for me. Thank you for always loving me so much …"
Qing Er said with a trembling voice that she could not even imagine.
Having made this decision today, everything would change. Joseph would be by her side in the future, and the vampire prince that he saw every year would perhaps grow further and further away.
Qing'er, you don't need to thank me. Today is the happiest and happiest day of my life.
Joseph lightly opened up a distance between the two of them, holding Qing Er's face in her hands. Her blue eyes were like an endless ocean, so deep that it was easy for people to sink into them.
Although Qing'er was still a little confused, but facing Joseph who was in such deep love, she could not help but feel touched.
His small hands lightly wrapped around his neck as he stood on tiptoe and put his lips to his own.
They were already man and woman, and kissing was normal. Looking at the blue eyes filled with joy, Qing'er closed her eyes.
She lightly touched him, but her heart felt like it had been pierced by something. It was unknown if it was her lips or if it was ice. Other than the ice-cold pain, she didn't feel the slightest bit of joy.
Qing'er was at a loss. When she was at a loss, Joseph's tongue, filled with violent emotion, opened her slightly cold lips.
"Lance, why aren't you going in?"
Nell, who had gone through a lot to get Lance back, looked at Lance, who was standing outside the door, not moving forward, in confusion.
Nell's words scared the two people in the room apart.
"Qing'er, look how nice it is for me, my godmother. I know you don't want to part with Lance, but I spent a lot of effort to bring him back."
Nell, who didn't know what was going on in the house, came in smiling as if asking for a reward, until she saw the blushing faces of Qing'er and Joseph.
"After you return, stop running around. No matter how strong you are, you are still alone. There are over 5 billion people in this world, and there will always be someone stronger than you."
Lance said calmly, like a junior that was told by his elders to go on a long journey.
"I know, if I eat something, I'll grow wise. In the future, I'll be more obedient, and only good children will feel pain."
Little Qing didn't know what was wrong with her and felt so sore that she wanted to cry, but she smiled sweetly at him and even put her head on Joseph's chest.
"Sigh, let's go quickly. Don't miss the flight."
Lance said as if trying to chase him away.
"So it turns out that I'm really annoying."
Qing'er picked up her luggage and said with an aching heart.
Lance's mouth was slightly open, but soon closed again. Since Qing Er already thought of it that way, since she already had a boyfriend, there was no need to explain.
"Auntie Neal, let's go."
Qing'er took Joseph's hand and walked past Lance, not even bothering to greet him.
Lance didn't go downstairs to send them off, he just stood there like a weathered stone sculpture. He only slowly walked into the empty room after the sound of cars leaving came from outside.
Sitting on Qing'er's bed, for the first time Lance felt the warmth of his blood.
The blood of the Strigoi had always been cold, different from the constant temperature of humans, and that was why it was possible to enter a state of dormancy as it had been waiting for me.
Unlike humans, they couldn't feel the temperature of their blood, but this time, when he watched Qing'er tiptoe up and place her red lips on his, he felt the temperature of his blood, like a volcano erupting. In that instant, his body felt like it was about to explode.
Smelling the familiar fragrance, he finally understood what he felt.
