The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 187, The Charismatic Vampire
The kidnapping and killing of a Goethe University student by the pub owner Ke Ming Ding caused a lot of commotion within the city because of its involvement with vampires.
The president of the News Daily sent reporter Shu Li to the Goethe University to investigate the situation. If Shu Li can write this report well, she might win an award and gain both fame and fortune. As such, Shu Li was very positive about this.
On the second day after Ke Ming Ding was arrested, Shu Li came to Goethe University under the identity as a transfer student identity and began to secretly investigate the Ke Ming Ding incident.
After Luan Qing Xiao got together with Nie Zhen'er, her bedroom basically became a clothing room. Luan Qing Xiao only went back there to grab something or change clothes. The rest of her time was spent with Nie Zhen'er. Since they both didn't have a class first period today, the two finally could sleep in for once. Nie Zhen'er was awakened by the sound of the phone next door.
She opened her eyes in a daze, and nudged Luan Qing Xiao, who was cuddling her, "The phone in your room is ringing."
In this world, there aren’t any mobile phones. However, each dorm room was equipped with a landline and there were plenty of phone booths on the street.
Luan Qing Xiao opened her eyes and lowered her head to peck Nie Zhen'er on the forehead before retracting her arms and sat up on the bed, "Who’s calling me this early?"
"Go pick it up. It’s going to hang up in a second, maybe it’ll be something important." Nie Zhen'er lay on her side and pushed her waist.
"I know, I'm going right now." Luan Qing Xiao grabbed Nie Zhen'er's hand and lifted it to her mouth to kiss it. Then, she got out of bed and opened the door to her room.
In Zhen’er’s room, she didn't actually hear the phone ringing, but the noisy ringing filled her ears the moment she opened the door.
Luan Qing Xiao closed the door and walked over to answer the phone, "Hello, this isLuan Qing Xiao."
"Qing Xiao, it's Uncle. Haha, taking so long to answer the phone, were you sleeping in?"
Luan Qing Xiao had to think about it for a while before realizing who the uncle on the other side was.
An office colleague with the male lead Wen Xi Qin and the biological uncle of the original owner, Professor Luan.
"Uncle, there was no class first period, so I accidentally slept in." Luan Qing Xiao smiled and replied familiarly.
"En, it's normal, it's normal. Just now, only did Professor Wen remind me did I realize that us two uncle and niece hadn't seen each other for a long time. You used to always come to my office to find me. What happened this month? I couldn't see you even if I wanted to."
"This month has been relatively busy. Your niece has to focus on her studies, otherwise what wouldI do if I can't find a job after graduation?" Luan Qing Xiao found an excuse. The original owner only came to your office every day to see Wen Xi Qing, but she doesn't like him.
She dragged the chair in front of the table and wanted to sit down and say, only to find a layer of dust had settled on the chair.
"It's good to focus on your studies, but you have to do it step by step. Your parents asked me to take care of you at school. Yet, I can't even see you in person. Come to Uncle's office at noon today, Uncle will take you out for a big meal."
"En… …" Luan Qing Xiao mused, "Uncle, can I bring a classmate with me?"
Professor Luan’s voice was surprised, "Huh! I didn’t know if you made friends at school? Is it a boyfriend or a normal friend ah?"
"Uncle, how can I have a boyfriend? She's my girlfriend." Luan Qing Xiao said helplessly.
Professor Luan didn't think much about Luan Qing Xiao using the word, “girlfriend”. He only thought that Luan Qing Xiao said it because she was emphasizing it was a female friend.
"Bring her along. Okay, Uncle won't tease you anymore. This is the first friend Qing Xiao made at school except for that kid He Hai, I’ll have to meet her."
After hanging up the phone, Luan Qing Xiao cleaned her room a little. Only when there was no obvious dust on the surface did she return to Nie Zhen'er's room.
When Luan Qing Xiao pushed the door and entered, Nie Zhen'er had just hung up the phone. A person’s name immediately came to mind as she pouted and asked, "Could it be Wen Xi Qin called?"
Nie Zhen'er was surprised, "Huh? You heard Professor Wen's voice?"
It's really him!
On the one hand, he made Professor Luan Luan invite her to lunch, while he called Nie Zhen'er by himself on the other hand. He was truly a scheming man.
Luan Qing Xiao walked over and sat on the bed with Nie Zhen'er in her arms, embracing her face to face. She placed her chin on Nie Zhen'er's shoulder and sulkily said, "Wen Xi Qin Yu made my uncle call me and say how he hasn't seen me in a long time. In the end, he invited me to lunch at noon."
"What about you? What did Wen Xi Qin say to you?" Luan Qing Xiao raised her head.
Nie Zhen'er responded, "He also invited me to lunch. When I said I would go with you, Professor Wen agreed."
"He told you nothing else?"
Luan Qing Xiao asked.
Nie Zhen'er tried to think back, "He first asked me how I was during this time? Then he comforted me that he knew not all vampires are bad, he believed me that this time Xu Ni's matter has nothing to do with me. He told me to relax and continue to study at Goethe University. If there’s any difficulty, he’ll definitely help me. I also said a lot of things afterwards, but I got impatient listening and wasn’t listening too carefully. I don’t really remember what he said."
Luan Qing Xiao gently held Nie Zhen'er's face with both hands, "Zhen'er, don't be fooled by his sweet talk. Remember, Wen Xi Qin only cares about you because he is an avid fan of vampires. If you weren’t a vampire, he never would have remembered who you are."
Seeing Luan Qing Xiao's nervous appearance, Nie Zhen'er also put her hands on Luan Qing Xiao's cheeks and pressed her forehead against Luan Qing Xiao's forehead with a smile, "I know. How about I repeat what you said three times before going to bed everyday from now on? That way you won’t always worry that I’ll fall in love with someone else."
Luan Qing Xiao stated solemnly, "No, don't recite Wen Xi Qin. You'd better throw him out of your mind."
Nie Zhen'er was stunned, "Qing Xiao, why are you so nervous about Professor Wen? I'm pretty sure I don't like him in that manner."
"I'm not worried about you falling in love with someone else. Our love is stronger than anything, no one can destroy it." Luan Qing Xiao explained, "I’m nervous about him because what if you are too nice to him and he keeps pestering you? By then, it’ll be troublesome if you want to get rid of him."
"That won’t happen, Professor Wen is a gentleman. Don't worry, I will treat him a little colder from today, OK?" Nie Zhen'er kissed Luan Qing Xiao's face.
Luan Qing Xiao pointed to her right cheek, "This side too."
Nie Zhen'er: "... …" Kiss.
The two got up to change clothes and grabbed their textbooks for class. After class, they went to Si Qi Courtyard to find Professor Luan and Wen Xi Qin.
Luan Qing Xiao knocked on the door and a "come in" sounded from the office.
Luan Qing Xiao opened the door and let Nie Zhen'er go in first before closing the door once they both entered.
"Nice to meet you, Professor Wen." Nie Zhen'er greeted Wen Xi Qin.
"Uncle, long time no see." Luan Qing Xiao walked over and gently hugged Professor Luan who stood up from his seat.
When Professor Luan saw Luan Qing Xiao closing the door, he asked strangely, "Qing Xiao, didn't you say you want to bring a friend? Was she busy?"
Luan Qing Xiao said, "How is it possible, isn't she here?"
Luan Qing Xiao glanced toward Nie Zhen'er.
Nie Zhen'er came over and smiled docilely, "Hello Professor Luan, I'm Nie Zhen'er, Qing Xiao's classmate."
"It turns out that the friend Qing Xiao said was you. Hai, I was wondering who it could be. If it’s just you, then I’m relieved. Professor Wen has been praising you every day to my ears, saying how talented and diligent you are. In all, he described you in all sorts of good ways. No wonder Qing Xiao suddenly wanted to study hard. It turned out she was driven by you. As her uncle, I have to thank you."
Professor Luan is a handsome man who was different from Wen Xi Qin. He spoke quickly. After listening to his long paragraph, Nie Zhen'er finally reacted and smiled, “It’s actually Qing Xiao who's pushing me to study. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Professor Wen."
"Oh? Qing Xiao’s actually pushing you to study?" Professor Luan’s face was full of disbelief.
Nie Zhen'er smiled bashfully, "Last time I wanted to skip a class, it was Qing Xiao who dragged me to prevent me from skipping the class."
"Is this true?" Professor Luan asked Wen Xi Qin.
Wen Xi Qin was surprised at the rapid progress between Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er. Hearing Professor Luan’s question, Wen Wen smiled gently, “There was indeed such an incident.”
"Uncle, don't underestimate your niece." Luan Qing Xiao smiled.
"Okay ah. Sure enough, having someone to study with makes people more motivated. Uncle treats you guys today, you guys can order whatever you want to eat." Professor Luan generously waved his hand.
When the four of them walked outside, Professor Luan went to drive his car over while Wen Xi Qin asked Nie Zhen'er how her recent studies were.
Before Nie Zhen'er spoke, Luan Qing Xiao intervened in the middle of the two, "Professor Wen, you can just ask me if you want to know Zhen’er’s studies."
Wen Xi Qin felt a little jealousy radiating from Luan Qing Xiao. He was slightly relieved, thinking that Luan Qing Xiao was jealous because he got too close to Nie Zhen'er.
He smiled and replied, "I’m going to ask you both. I won’t favor one over the other."
Luan Qing Xiao said, "No need, just asking me would be the best. Recently, Zhen'er’s throat isn’t feeling too comfortable and can't talk too much. I know everything about her. No matter what you want to know, ask me, I can tell you."
Luan Qing Xiao's words were slightly aggressive. This aggressiveness was aimed at him, which Wen Xi Qin was able to pick up on it.
He was slightly stunned, not understanding why Luan Qing Xiao was like this.
The natural intimacy between Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er also puzzled him.
Clearly the last time the three were together, the two girls were still very incompatible. The main reason was that Luan Qing Xiao was against Nie Zhen'er. She always wanted to stab her when she talked. At that time, he was still trying to mediate the peace.
Who knows how the relationship between the two people became this close? Judging from the state of their relationship, they are more intimate than him.
Besides, he felt that Nie Zhen'er had become colder towards him. There was no light in her eyes when she spoke to him and also didn’t talk as much to him.
Just now when Luan Qing Xiao spoke to him like that, she only watched from the side and didn’t refute Luan Qing Xiao. It can be seen that in Nie Zhen'er's heart, he was no longer as important as Luan Qing Xiao.
Wen Xi Qin felt a little flustered.
He barely managed to keep his smile up as he asked Luan Qing Xiao a few questions that wouldn’t offend Nie Zhen’er but also only people with close relationships with each other would know him would know. In the end, Luan Qing Xiao answered them all extremely smoothly.
"Qing Xiao wouldn’t have made them up, would she? How could you even know how many hours a day Zhen'er sleeps?" Professor Luan drove back and happened to catch Luan Qing Xiao's answer after pulling down the car window.
Wen Xi Qin was very grateful to Professor Luan for asking this question for him.
Luan Qing Xiao opened the rear door and let Nie Zhen'er go in. After Nie Zhen'er sat down, she closed the door and went to the other side to open the door and slid in.
Wen Xi Qin took the passenger seat.
Once Luan Qing Xiao shut the door, she said to Professor Luan, "Of course, I didn’t make it up."
Professor Luan started the car and slowly drove out of Goethe University, merging onto the traffic on the road.
