Su Liu is a well-known angel investor in the industry, having partnered with many projects. Compared to those low-budget yet explosively popular works, "City of Spark" could only be conside...
Blue-eyed confidant
Over the years, Yuanyue has been like a fish in water in this world, and has won over all AOs.
Be friends with Alpha and hug Omega.
Anyone who interacts with him will only feel that he is indeed a little too familiar and too enthusiastic. No one will be sensitive enough to doubt his gender and then protest. Of course, he will not think that there is anything wrong with his behavior.
Su Liu secretly looked at Yuan Yue for a while.
Yuanyue is neither tall nor short, about 165cm, which is the ideal height that most Alphas expect in their partners.
His face, which is warm even without a smile, makes him naturally approachable, but the slightly upturned inner corners of his eyes reveal a bit of charm and temptation.
He looks somewhat similar to his sister Zhuyu, but his sister always keeps her head down and dares not look at people. She is not as generous and free as he is.
The smile on Su Liu's lips grew even wider.
The "female protagonist" Yuan Yue is indeed very different. Putting aside the dirty thoughts in her heart, just looking at the first impression she gives people, she is indeed not bad.
No wonder he has so many close friends around him who can’t forget him even when they die.
"Yeah, I don't like people getting too close to me. After all, there are a lot of OO relationships in Nancheng. Who knows if you are one of them? Am I right?" Su Liu said.
Yuan Yue's mouth twitched slightly, and there was a subtle hint of disdain in his eyes. Then he pretended to understand and said "Oh" and smiled cheerfully, "This is my first time in Nancheng too. I didn't know there was such a thing."
At this time, Pei Yunxiu seemed to sense something and took a step forward to separate Su Liu and Yuan Yue.
"This gentleman from the Book Club has an elegant nickname, Muxiachen."
Pei Yunxiu broke the deadlock and formally introduced Yuanyue to Su Liu. It was obvious that the Lu family did not give Yuanyue to Pei Yunxiu as a blood slave. "This time, he will represent me in the written test."
"Just call me Chenchen," Yuan Yue waved his hand and gave Su Liu a very modern greeting. He tilted his head and smiled, sticking out his tongue mischievously.
Yuan Yue's good temper reminded Su Liu of the relationship between the characters in the original book -
Pei Yunxiu also seemed to be Yuan Yue's lover.
As the Nth male supporting role, Pei Yunxiu doesn't have many roles. Every time he appears, it's after Yuan Yue is hurt by the king's unromantic man, and then comes to stay with Pei Yunxiu for a few days.
The two vampires do nothing else when they are together. Pei Yunxiu is like a trash can for people to dump their negative emotions. He is the white moonlight in the heart of the "heroine" that is always spotless.
Therefore, Yuan Yue's attitude towards Pei Yunxiu was not like his attitude towards other vampires. There was no impure relationship between them such as "drunken deep kiss" or "one-night stand".
Probably, there is always such a person around an Omega: you know he likes you, but you know very well that he is not suitable for you, so you are close to him but not too close, neither rejecting him nor getting too deep into him, pretending to know nothing, always keeping a proper distance, letting him have a crush on you to the end, feeling desolate in his heart, and finally having only one thought left, that is, to protect you.
Such a person is usually called a friend of the opposite sex.
That is, "more than friendship, but less than lovers."
Su Liu thought for a while and found that the description of Pei Yunxiu in the original book was always full of compassion. Now thinking about it, it is very likely that the author was indeed implying that Pei Yunxiu had an intellectual problem.
There are several classic scenes in the original book.
What Su Liu remembers most vividly is the scene of watching fallen leaves on a snowy night.
“…It snowed during the night.
Yunxiu stood under the open window and looked at him.
The wind and snow were wrapped in snowflakes, clear and cold.
"What happened? Did the snowman I built melt?" he asked, leaning on the windowsill.
Yunxiu shook his head slightly, and a childlike smile appeared on his fair and soft face.
"Chenchen, look—" Yunxiu took out a leaf frozen by the snow.
He took it and looked at it, "What's this? It will just be a leaf after it melts."
The lines on the leaves are like annual rings. As time goes vertically forward, they also age vertically.
But he is different from it.
He is a vampire, he will never grow old.
I'm so glad.
"It's different, it's different." Yunxiu sighed and looked at him, his eyes shining like the moon.
It seemed like he was expecting her to say something.
"It was originally free and unrestrained, but it was imprisoned here by the ice crystals formed by the cold snow. What a pity." He turned the leaf over and over, but didn't feel any meaning, so he just said it casually.
"...This isn't confinement, it's protection," Yunxiu said seriously.
…
“Many years later, he still thinks of that snowy night.
The wind blew Yunxiu's sleeves like a fairy.
That pale and soft face looked at him calmly.
Then he opened his lips slightly and said slowly: "That is not imprisonment, it is protection."
He thought: If I am a fallen leaf destined to wither, then let Yunxiu be the snow that seals me.
In this world, only Yunxiu understands his fragility and his wandering.
But he didn't understand at that time.
He actually watched the snow on the leaf melt in his palm.
...Later, he sat alone in the wind and snow, watching the leaves fall one after another.
I feel empty inside.
He asked himself: What are you expecting?
A voice told him: It was probably a lonely leaf that was frozen by the snow.
At that moment, he understood.
It turned out that he loved the boy who was as white as snow.
But in the end.
It's too late.
He knew it, but it was too late.”
The following memoir was written many years after Pei Yunxiu was accidentally involved in the battlefield of the protagonist group and sacrificed himself to block the knife for the "female protagonist". One time, the "female protagonist" accidentally passed by the corridor where Pei Yunxiu had stood before, and was suddenly reminded of the scene.
People who read the book roughly think that this male supporting role is very innocent. He is obviously a vampire who is more than 3,000 years old, but he actually wastes such a good time not actively pursuing love, but instead pulls the protagonist to discuss some philosophy of life. He is so pure and unpretentious.
Su Liu felt something was strange at the time.
Fortunately, the author did not explicitly state it, otherwise if a beautiful vampire was actually mentally retarded, some of the beautiful artistic conception in the text would collapse in an instant.
"Which 'Chen'? The 'Chen' of dust?" Su Liu smiled innocently.
He successfully blocked the word "dust" in Yuan Yue's sentence "harmony with the light and dust".
"...Haha," Yuan Yue smiled awkwardly.
Afterwards, they chatted for a few more minutes, and in the end, they both felt the other's perfunctory and tiredness, so Pei Yunxiu asked the housekeeper to take Yuanyue downstairs to rest.
Wait until they are far away.
Pei Yunxiu leaned over and asked, "You hate him? Why?"
"I'm a bad guy. Do I need a reason to hate someone?" Su Liu glanced at Pei Yunxiu.
But he thought to himself: I don't want to pretend to be on good terms with Yuanyue in exchange for benefits. I will make my attitude clear and turn against him later without having to worry about past friendship.
"Really?" Pei Yunxiu lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly smiled slightly.
"Why do you have such an expression, as if you know something incredible?" Su Liu tutted, and then added, "I'm not jealous."
"Well, you didn't," Pei Yunxiu nodded slightly, still not looking at Su Liu with his lowered eyes.
"......" This seems even more difficult to clear.
After dinner, Su Liu lay on the bed to rest.
He seemed to have gotten used to Qi Fengling's presence.
He used to fall asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow, but now he always felt that he had to chat with Qi Fengling for a while before he could fall asleep.
Su Liu closed her eyes and dozed off.
I don’t know how long it took.
There was suddenly a different atmosphere in the room.
The breath slowly approached Su Liu along with the flow of wind.
Finally, it stopped above Su Liu.
Su Liu didn't move.
As if he didn't notice anything.
The person who came seemed very patient and didn't make any sound, just looked at him quietly.
The atmosphere was tense for a while.
Su Liu couldn't bear it anymore and started laughing first.
It seemed that he was really serious about this relationship. He knew almost immediately that the person coming was Qi Fengling.
Su Liu closed her eyes, reached out to hug Qi Fengling and kissed him, then opened her eyes after the kiss. "No wonder you seem so useless even though you are a prince. You really have to hide your incompetence, otherwise no matter how many defenses we have, we won't be able to stop you."
Qi Fengling took the opportunity to put his arm around Su Liu's waist and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Su Liu said playfully: "I'm waiting for you."
Before going to bed, he was still wondering whether Qi Fengling would come to him secretly, on the one hand because of his possessiveness, and on the other hand to ask him for the reward for completing the task.
Unexpectedly, he really came.
"He didn't bully you, did he?" Qi Fengling asked tentatively.
"Bullying!" Su Liu bit Qi Fengling. "Two out of three sentences you said were about advising me to do good deeds. It's really annoying. Did you enjoy preaching so much back then?"
Qi Fengling breathed a sigh of relief but also said aggrievedly, "I was a bit of a male chauvinist back then, and I really did like to teach others."
"Do you often substitute for the teacher and teach your classmates?" Su Liu hesitated, "You have a strong sense of being a teacher."
"...I tutored my deskmate," Qi Fengling said. "My deskmate's mother was the class teacher's secret crush when he was young."
"So, you're 'abusing your power for personal gain' and specifically transferring someone to your side so you can give him free tutoring?" Su Liu held Qi Fengling's face in her hands, carefully examining her innocent features. "That seems like something you'd do. Sometimes you really are like a saintly father who asks nothing in return."
Qi Fengling covered Su Liu's hand, "That's not entirely true. He has a good foundation, so it's not difficult to teach him. Besides, while I'm teaching him, I can review some knowledge points. It's just a matter of convenience."
"The workload in high school is very tight, right? Remember you said you were a day student in high school and you still found time to write novels when you got home. How could you have so much time to tutor others?" Su Liu asked doubtfully. Although he did not go to school seriously, the youth campus dramas he watched were basically narrated realistically about campus life, so he was not unfamiliar with it.
"Usually it's during evening self-study and after class. He and I have a clear division of labor for homework. He writes what he knows, and I write the rest he doesn't know... I only need to teach him how to do the questions he doesn't know, which are just a few." Qi Fengling narrated truthfully.
"Won't you write down what you know?" Su Liu asked.
"It's too simple, there's no need for that," Qi Fengling said, "It's a waste of time."
"......" Su Liu laughed. He remembered that when he was nineteen years old, he had contributed to the national examination results.
While being "locked up" somewhere for a month, he was responsible for answering questions and specifically looking for loopholes in the questions. The guys who set the questions were most afraid of seeing his half-smile.
Because that means some of the questions are ridiculous.
Su Liu had an inexplicable feeling at that time——
Higher-dimensional beings may not need to communicate with lower-dimensional beings to know what kind of civilization they are in.
Sometimes, you can learn a lot of information from just one college entrance examination paper.
Conventional common sense and conventional thinking often lock them in a low dimension.
And they are still complacent...
Qi Fengling's complaints made Su Liu feel the same way.
Some questions are not only simple but also ridiculous, and there is really no need to do them.
"How do you know that your deskmate's mother is friends with your head teacher?" Su Liu smiled.
