The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 187, The Charismatic Vampire

"I remember that you live in a single person room. If you and Zhen'er sleep in the same room, I can at least barely believe what you said just now. But you two don't live together. How do you know how many hours Zhen'er sleeps a day? It’s not like Zhen’er reports about this to you everyday."

"Zhen'er, you are a good child. Tell me the truth, was Qing Xiao making up the answer?" Professor Luan asked Nie Zhen'er.

Wen Xi Qin turned around to look at Nie Zhen'er, waiting for her to answer.

Internally, he expected Nie Zhen'er to say that Luan Qing Xiao was indeed making it up, so at least it would seem that the two weren’t as close as Luan Qing Xiao showed. It also proves that Luan Qing Xiao was only pretending to be close to Nie Zhen'er just to make him jealous.

Nie Zhen'er shook her head and said seriously, "Although I haven't counted how many hours I sleep every day, what Qing Xiao said should be true."

"If you haven't counted it, how did Qing Xiao know?" Wen Xi Qin pressed.

Luan Qing Xiao leaned on the backrest lazily. She raised her right arm and put it on Nie Zhen'er's shoulder, "Obviously because we sleep together."

Seeing Wen Xi Qin's stunned gaze, a triumphant smile on Luan Qing Xiao’s face, "I know when Zhen'er falls asleep and when she wakes up. From that, I can just figure out how many hours she sleeps."

"Sigh, Professor Wen probably hasn’t slept with anyone before and has never experienced that feeling of paying attention to the person who you share your pillow with."

Hearing how brazen Luan Qing Xiao was getting with each sentence, Professor Luan interrupted her with a laugh, "Cheeky, Professor Wen is your uncle and my good friend. Normally he treats you well based on your uncle’s face. No matter how you look at it, Professor Wen is also your elder, how can you talk like that?"

"Xi Qin, don't be angry. My niece has been spoiled by her family since she was a child. After lunch, I’ll definitely scold her."

Although Wen Xi Qin’s expression looked a little ugly, he forcefully kept up his smile, "It's okay, she's still a little girl. Children just like to speak their mind. How can I be angry with a little girl?"

After that, Wen Xi Qin never looked back again.

When they arrived at the restaurant reserved by Professor Luan, the four of them walked in together.

Professor Luan and Wen Xi Qin walked in front, while Nie Zhen'er and Luan Qing Xiao walked behind them.

Entering the hall, Professor Luan and Wen Xi Qin suddenly sped up their steps to greet someone familiar.

Luan Qing Xiao held Nie Zhen'er's hand and followed behind, only to see the history class’s professor, Ding Sheng.

Professor Ding was half a head taller than Professor Luan and Wen Xi Qin. After the three greeted each other, Ding Sheng raised his eyes slightly and saw the two female students behind the professor.

He squinted his eyes, "The ones behind you are probably my students."

Professor Luan quickly stepped aside and introduced Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er to Ding Sheng.

"Professor Ding, this is my niece Luan Qing Xiao, and this is Qing Xiao's good friend Nie Zhen'er. The two little girls are indeed in your class."

Luan Qing Xiao said, "Hello Professor Ding."

Yet Ding Sheng’s gaze fell on the Nie Zhen'er next to her, his eyes inquiring.

Nie Zhen'er didn't know why. So, like Luan Qing Xiao, she also greeted Ding Sheng.

Ding Sheng nodded and slowly looked away.

Just now, Ding Sheng's gaze was extremely oppressive. Nie Zhen'er didn't understand why Ding Sheng stared at her like that. Did he know that she once wanted to skip his class?

Since Ding Sheng has a weird temper to anyone, Professor Luan was already used to it and didn't think he was being strange.

Noticing how Ding Sheng was alone, he invited, "Professor Ding, are you here alone? Why don’t you join us?"

Ding Sheng shook his head, "No need, I'm used to eating by myself."

The three professors said a few more words before Ding Sheng left to eat in a private room he had reserved.

"Professor Ding’s eating alone in a big private room? Why does he have to come this far just to eat alone?" Luan Qing Xiao asked out of curiosity.

Professor Luan replied, "I'll talk about it later."

The waiter led the four people to the second floor and led them in.

The private room wasn’t the big round table Luan Qing Xiao imagined, nor was the box as big as she imagined. In the middle, there was a rectangular table with two chairs on each side.

After the four of them sat down, Professor Luan passed them the menu, "You guys can order two dishes each. Since today is my treat, don't hold back."

Luan Qing Xiao ordered a few dishes with duck blood and pig blood according to Nie Zhen'er's taste, while Nie Zhen'er ordered according to Luan Qing Xiao's taste.

After ordering and waiting for the food to be served, Professor Luan slowly talked about Ding Sheng.

"Your Professor Ding is very pitiful. His wife died in childbirth when she gave birth and only left him with a daughter. Professor Ding is extremely good to his daughter and often brought his daughter to university when she was young. Professor Ding's daughter was also really obedient. Whenever Professor Ding had a class, she would stay in his office, waiting for Professor Ding. It was only when the little girl grew up and started to go to school did she start coming less often to Goethe University."

“The last time I saw Professor Ding’s daughter was twenty years ago. At that time, Professor Ding’s daughter was just eighteen years old and was about to take the college entrance examination. Professor Ding used to like to laugh and always smiled to welcome both his students and colleagues. However, because of one thing, Professor Ding became the current person he is with a weird temper." Professor Luan sighed as he narrated.

"Professor Ding's daughter has an accident?" Luan Qing Xiao asked.

Nie Zhen'er stared at Professor Luan, waiting to hear what came next.

Professor Luan took a sip of tea from the teacup in front of him. He swallowed with furrowed brows, "Professor Wen will tell you guys the rest, I can't make myself say it."

Nie Zhen'er and Luan Qing Xiao turned to Wen Xi Qin at the same time.

Under Nie Zhen’er’s focused gaze, Wen Xi Qin couldn’t help clearing his throat and then continued Professor Luan’s story, “The day before the college entrance examination, Professor Ding’s daughter disappeared. The school reported it to the police and through the questioning of a friend of Professor Ding’s daughter, the police discovered that she had been walking extremely close to a boy recently. Many people have seen the boy, but no one recognizes the boy."

"After the college entrance examination, Professor Ding's daughter suddenly appeared. She went to the university and told Professor Ding that she had fallen in love with a vampire and wanted to leave with him and won’t come back again. Professor Ding had a cold expression and didn’t say anything. The little girl didn’t even glance back when she left and left Professor Ding at the university."

"What then? Did Professor Ding's daughter ever come back?" Nie Zhen'er asked.

Wen Xi Qin shook his head, "Professor Ding's daughter came back, but when she returned, she had already become a dried corpse. The vampire who seduced her was too weak to protect her and couldn’t protect her. When he went out to find food for her, the little girl was drained of blood by some other vampires."

"It was the vampire who seduced her who brought the little girl back. When he came, it was daytime, so he wore a black cloak. After handing the corpse to Professor Ding, he opened the cloak under the sun and burned into ashes."

Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er couldn’t speak for a long time. This is really a sad story, they don't know what to say at all.

Luan Qing Xiao grabbed Nie Zhen'er's hand under the table and held it tightly.

Fortunately, they won’t be like those two people.

Professor Luan coughed, "Because of this, Professor Ding loathed vampires. Now he goes to the Holy See to study every week. At all times, he carries a bottle of holy water with him. Occasionally he’ll stroll around the school at night and splash the vampire with the holy water when he encounters ones. According to some unreliable estimates, Professor Ding has used holy water to kill at least a hundred vampires in the past two decades." Professor Luan deliberately lowered his voice when he said the last sentence, trying to create a scary atmosphere. However, the three of them didn’t give him any face and only stared at him speechlessly.

"Uncle, there aren't a hundred vampires in C City in total. There’s no way Professor Ding killed them all. Next time, you make up a random number, at least make it realistic, alright?"

Nie Zhen'er told Luan Qing Xiao that there were only two castles in C City, Cong Ying Yu's and hers.

Excluding the thirty in their castle, there are only about ten lone vampires outside the castle.

Moreover, most of the vampires outside the castle were registered by the members of the Holy See as well as released to the public.

Wen Xi Qin also spoke up, "If there were that many vampires for Professor Ding to kill, wouldn't C City be full of vampires? Say, do you think our blood is enough for them to drink?"

Professor Luan also knew that he was exaggerating a bit. He chuckled as he scratched his head, "I was just trying to make you guys laugh. What if you guys can't eat after listening to such a depressing story?"

Nie Zhen'er nodded, "What Professor Luan said makes sense."

Professor Luan's eyes lit up, "See, Zhen’er understands me."

After he finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Luan Qing Xiao and said, "Why do I feel so fated with Zhen'er? Could it be that Zhen'er is actually my niece instead?"

Luan Qing Xiao: "... …"

Luan Qing Xiao really wanted to roll her eyes at him.

After a while, the waiter came to serve the dishes. Six dishes and one soup for four people was plenty.

Professor Luan smiled when he saw the pig blood and duck blood in the dishes, "It’s still my niece who understands my taste, these two dishes are my favorite."

Luan Qing Xiao stopped Professor Luan with her chopsticks, "Uncle, these two dishes are for Zhen'er."

"Huh?" Professor Luan went to look at Nie Zhen'er in surprise, "We have such similar tastes. Zhen'er can’t really be my niece, could she?"

Luan Qing Xiao: "... … Uncle, what I mean is, today you’re treating us and telling us to open up to eat freely, so please don't snatch the dishes Zhen’er likes with her."

Professor Luan: "..."

Nie Zhen'er almost burst out laughing from the expression on Professor Luan’s face. She took Luan Qing Xiao’s hand back and said to Professor Luan, “Don’t listen to her. How can I eat this many dishes? We just have similar tastes because of fate, you can just eat however much you like."
