The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 176, The Charismatic Vampire
Nie Zhen'er repeated, "... …Made a wish to the wall???"
No wonder, Luan Qing Xiao didn't know that she was a vampire and of course she wouldn't think she could hear her.
Luan Qing Xiao said, "Yeah, I only gave it a try, but I didn't expect it to work. I’ve decided I’m going to make a wish to the wall every night before going to bed."
Nie Zhen'er: "... …" She was so stupid, why would she think Luan Qing Xiao said that to her? She’ll never flatter herself again.
The two first went to the cafeteria for breakfast. Nie Zhen'er only ate a boiled egg, while Luan Qing Xiao ate some Xiao Long Bao.
After eating, the two of them leisurely walked to Si Qi Courtyard’s classrooms.
The two of them got up quite early. There were still fifteen minutes before class when they entered the classroom.
Luan Qing Xiao glanced at the scattered students in the classroom and turned her head to ask Nie Zhen'er, "Where do you want to sit?"
Nie Zhen'er looked around and saw there was no one sitting by the window. "I'll sit over there." She pointed to the third row.
"I'll sit with you." Luan Qing Xiao followed behind her. The two walked to the seats chosen by Nie Zhen'er and sat down.
Putting the books down on the desk, Nie Zhen'er took out the homework she did last night from within. Luan Qing Xiao saw it and asked her, "What did you do?"
Nie Zhen'er replied, "The homework teacher assigned."
"The teacher left homework?" Luan Qing Xiao's voice was full of disbelief.
Nie Zhen'er turned her head to look at her and was even more full of disbelief than hers. "The teacher assigned it the day before and it’s due today. If you don’t do it, then you’ll get a zero for the semester. Don’t tell me you didn’t write it?"
She only arrived yesterday. How did she know the original owner didn't care for her studies that much?
"I won't lend you mine to copy." Nie Zhen'er covered her homework with her hands, feeling that she finally got Luan Qing Xiao once and was in a good mood.
Luan Qing Xiao approached her, pretending to be aggrieved, "Do you really want to see my final grade return to zero? I was so nice to you yesterday."
Luan Qing Xiao’s pretending was so good that Nie Zhen'er began to wonder if she was too much. Her hand covering her homework couldn't help but loosen.
With one glance, Luan Qing Xiao could tell Nie Zhen'er had softened. She quickly pressed on, "I stopped you from skipping class and the teacher took attendance during that class. You liked Mao Xue Wang, so I bought you Mao Xue Wang. You want to drink juice, so I risked danger to buy you juice too. With me being this good to you, do you have the heart to let me get a zero in this subject?"
Luan Qing Xiao made Nie Zhen’er’s face flush, she did act pretty good to her yesterday. She really can’t treat her this way now, could she?
Nie Zhen'er removed her hand and put the homework in front of Luan Qing Xiao, "Okay, okay, I’ll give it to you. Just copy it quickly."
Once Luan Qing Xiao got Nie Zhen'er's homework, her face changed and the grievances on her face disappeared. She instantly burst into a smile, "Sure enough, Zhen'er really cares about me."
Looking at Luan Qing Xiao's brilliant smiling face, her heart slightly stopped. She turned her head and glanced out the window, muttering, "I still think you’re tricking me."
Since Luan Qing Xiao was concentrating on copying homework, she didn't hear it. But even if she heard it, she would only be secretly proud. After all, she really did trick Nie Zhen'er.
When Luan Qing Xiao finished copying the homework that took Nie Zhen’er an hour in five minutes, the classroom was filled with students one after another.
Two minutes before class, an unfamiliar tall boy walked in. His clothes were crumpled and the students in the front row immediately covered their noses when they smelled the alcohol on his body.
The boy anxiously scanned the crowd. Who knew what he was looking for?
When his eyes fell on Luan Qing Xiao, his eyes suddenly brightened.
Excluding Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen’er, there was only a girl sitting on the furthest outside in that row. The boy strode over and patted the shoulders of that girl, "Classmate, can you let me in?"
From the moment the boy walked into the classroom, Nie Zhen'er could smell the alcohol on him. She furrowed her brows and Luan Qing Xiao asked, "What's wrong?"
Nie Zhen'er pointed at the boy, "Do you know him?"
The next second, the boy approached Luan Qing Xiao with bright eyes.
"He’s here to find you." Nie Zhen'er said, "Why is your friend an alcoholic?"
Luan Qing Xiao looked dumbfounded, "I don't know him."
Although Luan Qing Xiao said she didn’t know him, she suddenly remembered that she hadn’t accepted the original owner’s memory. Maybe the original owner knew him.
Before Luan Qing Xiao had time to ask 520 about the identity of the boy, the boy had already sat on the chair next to Luan Qing Xiao.
"Luan Qing Xiao… …" The boy's eyes suddenly reddened after calling Luan Qing Xiao's name.
The smell of the hangover was extremely unpleasant and because Nie Zhen'er’s sense of smell was more sensitive than ordinary people, while the boy talked to Luan Qing Xiao, she immediately covered her nose and mouth, turning her face out of the window.
Luan Qing Xiao frowned, "Who are you?"
The boy bleakly introduced himself, "You probably haven’t seen me before. I’m in the same club as your childhood friend, He Hai. I'm Fang Rui, the president of the club."
"Oh… …" Luan Qing Xiao recalled him.
Yesterday He Hai wanted to ask herself to go to a pub with him for a drink yesterday, just to introduce Fang Rui to her.
"You guys drank all night? Why didn't He Hai come to class? Did you come to class for him?" Luan Qing Xiao wondered.
"No… …" Fang Rui lowered his head, looking very guilty, "I'm here to tell you that He Hai may be missing."
Luan Qing Xiao’s gaze fixed on him, "What do you mean? He Hai may be missing? You guys went outside after drinking yesterday?"
"No, we didn't go outside."
Fang Rui began to explain to Luan Qing Xiao why he thought He Hai might be missing.
"Yesterday we went to the newly opened pub after class. Because there were no girls, we planned to drink all night. Because He Hai’s alcohol tolerance wasn’t good, he soon passed out on the table. However, the other people in the club continued to drink until after eleven o'clock in the evening. When we were all done, we staggered our way to the hotel on the second floor of the pub and opened a room to rest."
"He Hai was drunk, but I clearly remember that it was me and another boy who helped him to the second floor!" Fang Rui was a little aggravated when he got to this point.
"The three of us slept in the same room. In the middle of the night when I went to the bathroom, I blindly patted my way off the bed. I was sure He Hai and the other person were there before I went out. But when I returned from the bathroom, I realized there was one person missing from the bed."
"At that time, I realized that, but I only thought that person also went to the bathroom too. So I didn’t think too much about it and fell back to sleep. Until I woke up the next morning, we suddenly discovered He Hai was missing. Hotels, pubs, school canteen, boys’ dormitories and his classrooms, we’ve searched all these places and there’s still no trace of He Hai."
"Where about last night’s security footage from the hotel?" Luan Qing Xiao questioned seriously.
Luan Qing Xiao had just finished asking and Fang Rui hadn't answered yet when the starting bell suddenly rang.
Before the teacher came in, Luan Qing Xiao said to Nie Zhen'er, "I’m going to miss this class. Zhen'er, remember to hand in the homework for me."
After speaking, she stood up and pushed Fang Rui out, "Let's talk outside."
Who knows if Luan Qing Xiao's lucky physique came into play that it was only after the two of them left the teaching building that the teacher arrived late.
Luan Qing Xiao led Fang Rui to the empty sports field next to the teaching building and carefully went through what happened.
Fang Rui said, "Neither the hotel nor the pub has security cameras and we don't have the right to check the cameras on the street. Because it hasn't been 24 hours since He Hai's disappearance, it would be useless to go to the police station to report it."
As Fang Rui spoke, his eyes reddened again, "I should have taken more notice about it last night. Why did I fall asleep? If something happens to He Hai, I will never forgive myself."
Luan Qing Xiao felt thoughtful after hearing Fang Rui's words.
"Is it possible for vampires to have entered the hotel or pub?" Luan Qing Xiao asked.
Fang Rui shook his head affirmatively, "That's impossible. There is a bunch of garlic hanging on the walls of the pub and hotel, even the doors and window frames were covered in silver foil. Every two hours someone will sprinkle diluted holy water on the ground. All these are what vampires fear most, there’s no way vampires could have gotten in."
"Take me to the pub first. That’s where He Hai disappeared. There must be some details that you have overlooked." Since this world is a world where vampires and humans coexist, it’s impossible for humans to disappear out of thin air. If this happens, it must have been done by a vampire.
The only other possibility was that Fang Rui lied.
Maybe because Fang Rui saw He Hai didn't bring her along last night and misunderstood that He Hai liked her. After getting drunk, the thought of killing him occurred. It was possible he killed He Hai in the middle of the night.
He said it himself neither the pub nor the hotel upstairs has a camera. Even if he did something that late at night, it would be difficult to be caught.
