Chapter 103 Little Vampire VS Vampire Hunter (Fifteen) Not...
The warm body temperature from another person completely enveloped my palm.
Heat was transferred between the two people's skin touching each other.
The always cold palms seemed to have created an illusion.
It felt like it was starting to generate heat on its own and was becoming warm as well.
Both the way to the supermarket and the way home were unexpectedly peaceful, and no trace of the mixed-blood monster was seen.
But their hands were still tightly clasped together, and neither of them suggested letting go.
It was not until we got home that I let go because it was inconvenient to hold his hand to open the door.
My palms were hot and damp, and I didn't know who was sweating from nervousness.
And this heat seemed to be transmitted to other places. Ruan Chao felt that his face began to get hot inexplicably.
He quietly raised his eyes and looked at Lu Xingyao beside him.
The man's handsome profile remained the same as always, and his expression was calm with no particular changes.
Only a small red spot appeared at the base of her ear.
It showed that he was far from being as calm as he appeared.
Ruan Chao stared at his red ears in a daze. He felt his fingers were a little itchy and wanted to touch them to take a look and compare to see if the temperature was higher than that of his palms.
Perhaps his gaze was too focused, Lu Xingyao turned his head to look at him.
Although he hadn't done anything wrong, Ruan Chao inexplicably felt as if he had been caught.
His eyes dodged and avoided Lu Xingyao's gaze.
The next second, he felt that his dodging action was a bit too exaggerated, as if he was afraid of Lu Xingyao.
So to prove himself, he immediately looked back.
Stare straight into each other's eyes without blinking.
This time, it was Lu Xingyao's eyes that flashed for a moment, then he looked away.
Although he had clearly won, Nguyen Chao did not feel any joy of victory. Instead, he felt his face getting hotter and hotter.
For a moment he began to doubt his own species. After all, vampires' body temperatures were known to be low, and the blood flowing in their veins was also cold. How could they automatically generate heat like humans?
A strange atmosphere began to spread between the two.
Ruan Chao opened his lips and started to make small talk, "Are you sleepy?"
"Not sleepy." Lu Xingyao's tone was also a little stiff.
"I got up very early today. I'm going to catch up on my sleep."
Lu Xingyao hummed, then felt that this answer was too perfunctory, and added: "Go ahead."
Two human-machines.
…
Ruan Chao pulled the heavy curtains, turned the air conditioner to the lowest temperature, then wrapped himself completely in the quilt and put on an eye mask.
After finishing all the preparations, start to coax yourself to sleep.
I was so sleepy on the road that it seemed like I would fall into a sweet dream the next second after closing my eyes. But after taking a shower, changing into pajamas and lying on the soft bed, the sleepiness disappeared inexplicably.
The bedroom door was ajar and not closed, so one could clearly hear what was happening in the living room.
Ruan Chao heard Lu Xingyao answer a phone call.
Although the other party lowered his voice intentionally for fear of disturbing his sleep, Nguyen Chao still heard some information.
Maybe there was a riot somewhere, or the vampires somewhere were not obeying them again, and there were too few people to control the situation, so support was needed.
In short, he came to work overtime again.
This time I go out, and I don’t know how late I will be before I come back.
The Nguyen Dynasty became more sober.
He pulled off the blindfold, lifted the quilt, sat up directly on the bed, and started changing into pajamas as quickly as possible.
After changing, he rushed directly into the living room and spoke loudly to Lu Xingyao who was about to leave.
“I want to go too!”
Lu Xingyao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked back at him.
Nguyen Chao added: "Don't even think about leaving me alone at home again."
The call is still ongoing and has not been disconnected.
He spoke very loudly, and his colleague opposite him obviously heard what he said.
His originally anxious tone suddenly turned into a gossipy tone, and he couldn't wait to ask.
"Who is talking? I heard it! Brother Lu, you are at home, right? There is someone else at home! Don't you always live alone?"
"What?" someone shouted exaggeratedly, "There's someone else in Lu Xingyao's house, how come I didn't know about this?"
There was a burst of noise on the other end of the phone, as if the phone had been snatched away by someone.
Then there was a burst of noisy chattering.
"Huh? Lu Ge is living with someone?! Is this true? I'm still single, but he can find a partner! This is too unfair!"
"Then wouldn't that give him even more reason to take a vacation in the future? That doesn't make sense!"
I don't know how many people are on the other side.
The rumors became more and more outrageous as they spread, and some people even started spreading rumors to their faces.
"??? Lu Xingyao is getting married? And living with his spouse?! Should I give a gift? How much should I give? Damn, I just spent all my salary this month."
…
Lu Xingyao's ears hurt from the noise.
He held the phone farther away, ignored his colleagues who were waiting on the other end of the line, and said "OK" to Ruan Chao directly.
"But you have to follow me closely and don't run around."
"But you have to follow me closely and don't run around..." The colleague deliberately lowered his voice and imitated Lu Xingyao's words in a weird accent, laughing.
Lu Xingyao: “…”
"You guys are so free, you don't need me, you can solve your problems yourself."
"No, no, Brother Lu." The colleague got anxious when he heard this, but immediately softened his tone and said, "You are a magnanimous person, don't bother with us, we are just talking casually, if you want to live together, then live together, if you want to get married, then get married, it all depends on your heart."
The colleague coughed lightly and whispered in a low voice, "Just remember to invite me to the wedding banquet when the time comes."
Lu Xingyao: “…”
"address."
Colleague: "Okay, okay, I'll send it to you right away!"
…
The mission situation this time was not particularly urgent.
So Lu Xingyao did not jump directly from the 20th floor like he did last time.
It took them half an hour to reach the scene of the crime.
The Nguyen Dynasty was very obedient.
After getting off the car, he followed Lu Xingyao closely.
Her fingers tightly grasped the man's clothes, and her fingertips turned white from being stretched too hard.
This street had obviously been cleared in advance. There was hardly anyone on the road. A red cordon was set up from a long distance away, and red bloodstains could be vaguely seen on the concrete ground.
Nguyen Chao's mood was also affected by the atmosphere and he began to become nervous involuntarily.
The next second, he felt his palms surrounded by a warm heat source.
Maybe it's a case of the first time being unfamiliar, the second time being familiar.
Lu Xingyao's grip was extremely natural this time.
The ears are no longer red.
His colleagues were on another neighboring street, suppressing the rioting vampires and protecting ordinary people who were forced into the battlefield.
They need to go through an alley to join them.
When the mixed-blood hiding in the corner pounced over, Ruan Chao did not have time to react. He only saw the opponent's blue-white body leaving a shadow in the air and falling heavily on the wall more than ten meters away.
Then there was the sound of a blade slicing through flesh and the sound of bones breaking.
But the Nguyen Dynasty did not witness these bloody scenes.
He didn't even know how the mongrel that suddenly attacked was killed.
He blinked, and his long eyelashes brushed against the man's rough, thinly-wrapped palm. He felt surprised and a little bit at a loss as to what was going on.
Afterwards, he heard Lu Xingyao's voice, asking him if he was afraid.
Ruan Chao pulled his hands down, squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the bluish-white monster lying on the ground in the corner like a pool of rotten mud.
The lowest level of vampires, they prefer to move in dark environments, have low intelligence and slow movements, are afraid of light and heat, and have no hair covering their bodies. The sun is their biggest enemy.
They have no human emotions, and their language function has completely degenerated. They are left with only the bloodthirsty and cannibalistic instincts. Because of their mixed blood and ugly appearance, they are called mixed-blood species.
Actually, I'm still a little scared.
But he still pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "I'm not a child, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Although he spoke boldly, the strength with which he gripped Lu Xingyao's hand had obviously increased a lot.
Lu Xingyao laughed softly, "Then you are better than me, and I am very scared. Very scared."
Ruan Chao: “…”
Weren't you the one who just kicked it against the wall and couldn't pull it down?
Why can't I see that you look a little scared?
So, can you please make your lies more decent? Do you really think I believe everything?
Nguyen Chao had a lot to say, but since this place was quite dangerous and he didn't know when another bastard would pop up, he better leave as soon as possible.
"Hurry up and go." He urged, "There are people waiting for you, don't make them wait anxiously."
"They should just wait." Lu Xingyao's voice lowered. "Whenever something happens, they call me over to take care of things. Do they treat me like a babysitter? I have to clean up after them every time. Can't they just try to solve the problem themselves?"
"With great ability comes great responsibility." Ruan Chao placed his hand on Lu Xingyao's shoulder and patted him gently, comforting him sincerely, "Who made you better than them?"
Obviously, words of comfort are common and old-fashioned.
But Lu Xingyao really likes this.
The corners of his lips, which were originally pressed down, couldn't help but curl up.
"Okay, it's not impossible to help them one last time."
They crossed the alley and came to the opposite street.
Soon someone noticed the two of them and waved in their direction.
In order to let them see, one person even jumped up and shouted, "Brother Lu, over here, over here."
There are eight people in a team.
But there are only four people left here.
The other half went after the offending vampires, and no news has been received yet.
Everyone had a sad expression, and they looked better after seeing Lu Xingyao.
Ruan Chao sniffed slightly and smelled the smell of blood in the flowing air.
He soon discovered the source of the fishy smell.
It was a young man with short blond hair who had an injured arm. The wound seemed to be very deep, and the hastily bandaged wound was already soaked with bright red blood.
In addition, he also had some minor scratches on his face.
Ruan Chao held his breath, subconsciously took a half step back, and hid behind Lu Xingyao.
The man had a cool minty scent mixed with the scent of his favorite detergent, which relieved his discomfort to a great extent.
Allowing him to breathe freely.
"How's the situation?" It was Lu Xingyao asking for information.
The one who answered him was a girl with long curly hair, "Residents within a ten-kilometer radius have been evacuated urgently, and there are no particularly serious casualties at the moment."
"But the situation was miscalculated. The leading vampire was not a second-generation vampire, but a first-generation vampire."
Lu Xingyao's cold expression showed a rare look of surprise, "The one causing the trouble is a first-generation vampire?"
The first generation of vampires are usually very powerful and have high status among the vampire clan, and they hold certain rights.
If this kind of riot and conflict continues to develop, it is very likely to escalate into a diplomatic incident between the two ethnic groups.
"Yes." The girl nodded with difficulty. "Zhao Cheng has already chased after them, but he is unable to arrest them with his strength, so he can only keep shrinking the encirclement."
Therefore, Lu Xingyao still needs to take action.
"Okay, I'll go and take care of it." Lu Xingyao responded decisively.
He took off his coat and put it on Nguyen Chao, wrapping him completely in the coat, leaving only his small, white face exposed.
"Chao Chao, you stay here." The man was silent for a moment and promised, "I'll be back soon."
Strange environment, strange people.
Ruan Chao didn't want to separate from Lu Xingyao at all.
But the situation now seemed a little urgent, far from the relaxed and comfortable feeling they had during their previous conversation.
It seemed like a small trouble had turned into a big incident.
The kind that must be resolved immediately.
But the current situation was not the time to be willful. Ruan Chao lowered his eyes and was about to agree when he heard Lu Xingyao say forget it.
"It's not like I can't protect you."
