Chapter 664 Love
The moonlight shines brightly on the tranquil beach, and the silver light interweaves with the fine sand, creating a dreamlike scene.
Li Muhan and Xia Grace walked one after the other, their footprints leaving a series of traces of varying depths on the beach. As the waves gently caressed them, they gradually became blurred and eventually dissipated.
Xia Grace's short silver hair shone softly in the moonlight, like stars fallen to earth, dotted among her hair.
Her skin appeared even more delicate under the moonlight, as if transparent, revealing a beauty that was otherworldly.
"Li Muhan, do you still remember the first time we met?"
Xia Grace said as she walked slowly forward.
"I remember, you touched my porcelain." Li Muhan replied.
The girl was slightly stunned, and then burst out laughing: "You are just like what Xia Luer said, you are really an interesting person."
Her steps were light, and every time her feet touched the sand, they seemed to be in sync with the breathing of the sea. Her every movement revealed a kind of elegance and calmness.
"That time I really just wanted to see what it is about you that can fascinate my daughter so much."
"So, you admit that you are worried about Xia Yue?"
Li Muhan followed behind her, his eyes falling on Xia Grace from time to time, and he couldn't help but be impressed by her beauty.
"I admit that Xia Yue used to make me feel boring, even disgusted. I don't know why the child I gave birth to would be so boring, so when she ran away from home, I didn't try to stop her."
"But you have been protecting Xia Yue secretly for so many years, right?" Li Muhan asked.
Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, as if she were telling an ancient secret: "Although I don't quite understand the meaning of mother, they are all flesh and blood that fell from my body. I never thought I would become a mother before."
The girl raised her hand slightly and gently tucked her hair, which was flying in the sea breeze, behind her ears.
"But the truth is so magical. I found that I couldn't give up my attention to the two of them. After that man ran away, I even thought about killing the two little guys. That might make Elias miserable."
When hearing this, Li Muhan still felt a little uneasy.
Because he subconsciously felt that the former Xia Grace might really be able to do such a thing.
"Why, are you wondering how there could be a mother in this world who would harm her own children, but..."
Xia Grace stopped, turned slowly, and walked to Li Muhan's side. She gently lifted Li Muhan's chin with her fingers and said softly, "I want to tell you, Li Muhan, I don't belong to this world. I come from another world."
Li Muhan was slightly stunned, then he took a step back and asked, "Is this why Director Lin dislikes you so much?"
"One of the reasons is that thing, no, now she can really be called a woman. She hasn't stopped harassing me since the moment I set foot on Chinese land, but she can't kill me. It's really interesting. So the pursuit between us eventually evolved into a game, a cat-and-mouse game. Sometimes I'm the cat, sometimes she's the cat. Anyway... now that I think about it, it's quite interesting."
Hearing this, Li Muhan suddenly felt that the relationship between Director Lin and Xia Grace was a bit like that between Hati and Xia Yue.
"But when I really wanted to kill them, I found myself unable to do it no matter what."
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and every blink seemed to stir ripples in her heart.
"They are obviously... just like me, they are not from this world. The so-called vampires are just a disguise we put on in this world..."
At this point, Xia Grace's voice trembled a little.
"But they're really... adorable. You know, when Shallia and Charl were little, they actually had a very close relationship. They always slept together and always ate together. You know, our habits are different from humans'. We usually sleep during the day, and when Charl couldn't fall asleep, Shallia would sing to her... So, in the end, Shallia developed the habit of sleeping at night."
Having said that, Xia Grace showed a kind smile on her face.
It's like a mother showing off her child.
Li Muhan finally understood why Xia Yue, as a vampire, always liked to sleep at night.
"...I heard they broke up over a dog named Williams, is that correct?"
Li Muhan asked.
"Not entirely." Xia Grace smiled and shook her head. "Actually, as a mutant dog, Williams' body is full of various diseases. That incident can't be blamed on Shallia. I also explained it to Shallure... In fact, their real breakup was because Shallia suddenly ran away from home."
"You know, for a little girl who lacks maternal love, her sister is everything to her. Now her sister is gone without even saying goodbye. She feels abandoned. At first, she thought she had upset her sister. That little cutie practices singing every day, hoping that one day Shayla will come back so she can sing to her sister to sleep like she did before."
Unfortunately, she didn't wait.
Li Muhan didn't say it out loud, because she had already seen everything from Xia Grace's expression.
The girl's expression changed from the sweetness of memories to loss. A deep sorrow flashed in her eyes, as if she was telling of a past that could not be undone.
"It's my fault. I didn't stop Xia Liya from leaving, nor did I go looking for her, and I didn't explain everything to Xia Luer. So Xia Luer waited for three hundred years... One day, she suddenly told me that she was leaving too. I asked her if she was going to look for her sister. That's when I realized that Xia Luer seemed to have inherited my genes..."
Xia Grace's voice gradually became low. She squatted down, and her fingers gently brushed the sand on the beach, as if feeling the passage of time.
"The smile on her face was very devilish, but also very strange. She smiled and told me that she didn't have an older sister, only a younger sister who didn't understand anything."
"Perhaps in her heart, the current Shallia is not the sister she remembers from her childhood."
So that's it... Is there another reason why Xia Luer and Xia Yue are so obsessed with their sisterly relationship?
Li Muhan watched Xia Grace turn around and face the sea, then heaved a long sigh as he looked at the horizon under the moonlight.
"Do you know, Li Muhan, Xia Liya and Xia Luer, what they mean in our world is..."
"Moonlight and the sea." Li Muhan blurted out.
......
Xia Grace was silent.
Li Muhan also fell silent. He didn't know why he knew...
It's like a memory engraved deep in my brain...
After a long while, Xia Grace turned around and looked at Li Muhan and said, "You really look like him, Li Muhan. Everything about you is so similar to that man..."
“…” Li Muhan knew who she was talking about, Elias.
The love of this woman's life, even though she didn't want to admit it.
"Can I trust you again..."
A hint of crimson shone in Xia Grace's eyes. "Can I once again give my precious things...to the one called love?"
"I love her."
Li Muhan took the initiative to approach Xia Grace and stared into her eyes.
"This is the only promise I can make. I love her, no matter if she is Xia Liya or Xia Yue, no matter if she is a vampire or a being from another world, I love her."
Xia Grace smiled slightly, and then looked at the moonlight in the distance.
"Then...promise me one thing, Li Muhan."
"Any time."
"Don't let Xia Yue go."
"Alone with her father."
"Always remember...this sentence."
When Li Muhan opened his eyes again.
He was still standing on the beach, but there was no trace of Xia Grace in front of him.
Only a ruby necklace on the gravel at her feet still gleamed.
There was a card next to the necklace. Li Muhan picked up the card and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile.
Please give her to my daughter, Shallia.
"What a dishonest mother..."
