Chapter 3: The Glory of the Past
Ding ding ding——
The sound of the alarm clock woke Li Muhan up.
He slowly opened his eyes.
He slept very comfortably, and it could be said that it was the most peaceful sleep he had had since he lost his parents.
He sat up and checked the time.
It's 6 o'clock in the evening.
Have you slept from 7am till now?
Normally, one would feel dizzy after sleeping for so long, but now Li Muhan felt that his head was very clear and his whole body was relaxed.
He picked up his phone and took a look, only to find that his ex-girlfriend Gu Ruoxi had posted two Moments.
"I forgot to cancel the special care offer. What bad luck."
Li Muhan sighed. He had no intention of reading what Gu Ruoxi had posted, but curiosity drove him to open Gu Ruoxi's Moments.
[Last night was the first time in my life that I attended a cocktail party and the first time that I wore such an expensive evening gown. This will be the most unforgettable day of my life.]
The accompanying picture was a photo of Gu Ruoxi wearing a very high-end-looking aqua blue evening gown and standing at a magnificent cocktail party.
She had a graceful figure and her hair was carefully styled. Gu Ruoxi was holding a tall wine glass in her hand and following a handsome and tall man. She looked a little immature but so beautiful.
Li Muhan knew that this was the other world that Gu Ruoxi had described to her.
The skirt she was wearing alone, no, even the decorations on the skirt, were not something she could afford.
The winter night sky doesn't have such a brilliant starry sky, but if I could get closer to the sky, I think I could catch the moon.
The second picture showed Gu Ruoxi snuggling with the handsome tall man in the open air on the top floor of a luxurious restaurant, admiring the moon.
It seems that man is the key that can take her to another world.
Li Muhan was a little unwilling. He thought he had let it go, but after seeing these...
"Hmph, things change over time! Don't look down on the poor young man!"
"Hmm."
Li Muhan was startled by a noise coming from beside him.
When he turned around, he saw the black-haired girl lying next to him.
She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at her phone lazily.
"Is this your girlfriend?"
"ah!"
Li Muhan was so frightened that he almost jumped out of the bed.
"You, you, why are you here?! And why aren't you wearing any clothes!?"
Li Muhan said as he looked at Xia Yue who was rubbing her eyes with half of her body sticking out of the quilt.
"There is only this one bed in your room, so I have no choice but to sleep with you."
As she spoke, the girl yawned, clearly not waking up yet.
Li Muhan tried hard to recall what happened last night. Last night he picked up a vampire girl and took her home, and even asked her to suck his blood.
What happens next?
I have no recollection of it at all, I only remember that Xia Yue seemed to have bitten my neck.
"I've already fulfilled your wish. It's too late to regret it now."
Li Muhan was about to reply when he suddenly discovered that after Xia Yue sat up, one side of her loose T-shirt had slipped off her shoulder. He only needed to slide it down a little more to reveal the girl's chest.
Li Muhan quickly turned his head away and didn't dare to look.
"Put on your clothes first."
Li Muhan stood outside the bedroom door and waited for the girl to put on her clothes and come out before he dared to continue talking about this topic.
"So, having your blood sucked doesn't mean you'll die?"
Li Muhan asked Xia Yue who was sitting across the table.
"High-level vampires do not rely on human blood to survive. They only drink blood to maintain their strength."
"You know what, it feels pretty good to have your blood sucked by a vampire."
Li Muhan recalled the feeling of last night. In addition to the warm feeling when his blood was sucked, he also felt another feeling in his sleep.
It was a feeling of comfort he had never experienced before.
puff--
But when Xia Yue heard Li Muhan say this, she spat out all the water she had just drunk.
"Fuck!"
Li Muhan was so scared that he quickly went to get her a towel.
"Why are you reacting so strongly?"
Xia Yue grabbed the towel and held Li Muhan's hand.
"What's so comfortable about it? You masochist! Don't mention last night anymore."
Her tone was not serious, but rather contained a hint of pleading.
"Please...don't mention it..."
Li Muhan was slightly stunned, but still nodded.
"Can you let me take another shower?"
Xia Yue suddenly asked Li Muhan with a red face, the water that was sprayed just now had wet her clothes.
"You can wash as you like, and I'll prepare a change of clothes for you."
"Thanks......"
Just as Xia Yue went to take a shower and was considering whether to order takeout or cook a meal, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Here I come."
Li Muhan walked to the door and opened it.
When the door opened and Li Muhan saw the person coming, he was stunned.
Because the person standing at the door was none other than Li Muhan’s ex-girlfriend Gu Ruoxi.
In fact, the moment he opened the door, Li Muhan did not recognize that the person in front of him was Gu Ruoxi.
Because she looks completely different now than before.
The ponytail was replaced with a carefully styled hairstyle.
The originally playful and cute clothes and jeans have now become luxurious long dresses that Li Muhan can tell are very expensive at a glance.
And those gentle and lively eyes gave Li Muhan hope to move forward more than once.
At this moment, it seemed as if it was covered with a thin layer of frost, and looking at Li Muhan was like looking at an unrelated passerby.
That kind of arrogance and coldness was a Gu Ruoxi that Li Muhan had never seen before.
"I have something to ask you."
Her tone was flat, without any emotion.
Li Muhan was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
"Look, here comes the unconventional plot."
Li Muhan turned his head, looked at the empty room, pointed at Gu Ruoxi and said.
“…”
Gu Ruoxi ignored Li Muhan and just stared at the young man in front of her with cold eyes, her eyes full of disdain.
"That's perfect. Since you're here, there are some things you didn't clean up last time. I've packed them for you. You can take them all with you."
"Just throw those things away. I don't need them anymore."
Just throw it away?
Li Muhan was a little confused. Those were all their past memories. Most of the clothes and accessories in them were gifts he gave to Gu Ruoxi.
Now in her eyes, it has become something that can be discarded at will?
Ignoring Li Muhan, Gu Ruoxi walked straight into the house. When she looked at the dining table, she sneered with disdain.
"What's the problem?"
Li Muhan closed the door and turned around to meet Gu Ruoxi's disdainful face.
"Li Muhan, we are both adults, not children anymore. I know you love me, but it is impossible for us to be together."
Li Muhan was baffled by what Gu Ruoxi said suddenly.
This woman came here late at night just to tell him these things.
"I've told you before, don't have any more expectations of me. You're a smart person, Li Muhan, so don't waste your time on impossible things."
"What are you talking about?"
Li Muhan frowned slightly.
Gu Ruoxi walked to the dining table, picked up a cup, then turned and looked at Li Muhan with a smile.
"This is my cup, right? You actually still keep it, and you're still using it. Don't you feel disgusting?"
"No, sister, you misunderstood. I don't need this cup. I just have guests, so..."
Li Muhan wanted to explain, but Gu Ruoxi threw the cup directly into the trash can.
"Don't use my things anymore, and don't keep anything of mine. This will make me look down on you, Li Muhan."
Li Muhan was silent.
Looking at the beautiful yet unfamiliar woman in front of him, he felt a little sad.
"I know what you're thinking. You think I'm vain. That's right, Li Muhan. You're an orphan, and my parents are just ordinary working-class people. They've been poor their whole lives, so poor that even I'm scared. I once thought about working hard with you, but that was because we were too naive and hadn't seen the world."
Gu Ruoxi's parents can be said to be like a rebirth for Li Muhan. After the orphanage was exposed, Li Muhan was adopted by Gu Ruoxi's parents.
So from a certain perspective, there is a brother-sister relationship between Li Muhan and Gu Ruoxi.
But at this moment, Gu Ruoxi looked at Li Muhan as if he was looking at some kind of garbage.
She lifted the bag in her hand slightly.
"Do you know how much this bag costs? It's more than you can earn in a year's work. And this bracelet and pendant, do you understand what they represent?"
Seeing that Li Muhan didn't say anything, Gu Ruoxi became more and more excited.
"These are the keys to the upper world, Li Muhan. You should have seen my WeChat Moments. The Garden Restaurant he took me to last night was beyond your imagination. Lobsters, abalone, all the ingredients were airlifted in and cooked on site. Do you understand what this means?"
"Does that mean you're a wealthy lady now?"
Li Muhan laughed and joked.
"It means the gap, Li Muhan, it means happiness, the happiness you can never give me."
