Chapter 272 Looks almost exactly like A Chu [25]
Seven or eight men were sleeping on the large communal bed, each in a different sleeping position.
Nan Xingye slept in the spot against the wall.
The room was filled with the smells of sweat and feet, as well as some other unidentifiable odor; in short, it was quite unpleasant.
All I could hear were snoring, teeth grinding, and sleep talking.
Nan Xingye frowned and sat up in bed, unable to bear it any longer.
Perhaps he made too much noise, waking up the person snoring next to him.
The man opened his eyes and saw Nan Xingye sitting there. He lowered his voice and asked him, "Xingye, can't you sleep?"
Nan Xingye's furrowed brows remained unchanged. Who was Xingye calling for? Him?
Seeing that Nan Xingye didn't speak, the man simply sat up.
A pale red light shone in from the window, which had no curtains, making it barely possible to see anything clearly.
Including the young man sitting up next to me, who looked to be in his early twenties and had a fairly handsome appearance.
The young man raised his hand to pat Nan Xingye on the shoulder, but Nan Xingye nimbly dodged it.
The young man wasn't annoyed, but simply asked, "Ah Xing, are you still upset about being forced to raise horses? Actually, raising horses isn't so bad, they're the young lady's horses."
"The young lady loves those horses and goes to see them almost every day. Doesn't that mean you get to see her every day?"
"maybe……"
Nan Xingye finally spoke, his voice cold and deep: "What are you saying?"
The young man exclaimed "Ah!" as if somewhat bewildered, then asked with concern, "Ah Xing, have you lost your memory?"
Nan Xingye really had no memory of it, so he just hummed in response.
Upon hearing this, the young man immediately replied, "Your name is Xing! My name is Xi, and we've been best friends since we were little!"
Yeah?
But when Nan Xingye looked at the young man in front of him, he felt no sense of familiarity whatsoever.
Nan Xingye's good friend A-Xi tells him that they are servants in the castle, and their parents were servants in the castle.
They grew up in the castle, serving its master.
Oh, by the way, this castle is a vampire castle because the owner of the castle is a vampire.
The servants in the castle are all human.
Ah Xing also told Nan Xingye that he was originally a reserve member of the castle guard, but because he offended the second young lady of the castle, he was almost beaten to death and kicked out.
It was the beautiful, kind, and gentle young lady who saved him and let him go to the stables to raise horses first.
Ah-Xi: "Ah-Xing, don't be resentful. Raising horses is quite nice..."
Nanxing doesn't talk much, but every time she opens her mouth, it makes Ah-Xi talk even more.
Ah-Xi didn't seem surprised by his amnesia.
Through what Ah-Xi said, Nan Xingye conjured up many images in his mind, but they were all unfamiliar.
He felt that what Ah-Xi said was not him.
The most diligent and hardworking servant in the castle...
What? He's also one of the servants who secretly admires the young lady...
Nan Xingye felt that she didn't belong here.
But where did he come from?
Nan Xingye didn't know.
After all, he couldn't even remember his own name.
Ah-Xi seemed to be specifically responsible for telling Nan Xingye some information. After he finished speaking, he yawned, looking very sleepy.
"It's getting late, go to sleep. You have to report to the stables tomorrow, don't be late."
After saying that, Ah-Xi lay down and fell asleep, snoring loudly.
Nan Xingye didn't sleep. He put on his shoes, got out of bed, and went to the window.
Outside the window was a large, unobstructed meadow.
Looking up, the moon is red.
Therefore, the light that shone in was pale red moonlight.
I spent a sleepless night.
The next day, Nan Xingye went to the stables to report for duty.
There are about ten horses in the stable, all of excellent quality, including a mare about to give birth.
The stable's original horse groom had to return home due to an emergency, so when Nan Xingye arrived, he was pulled aside to learn all sorts of horse-raising knowledge.
Although Nan Xingye didn't feel a sense of belonging here, he decided to focus on doing what needed to be done first.
He learns things very quickly; he can remember what the horse groom says after hearing it only once.
Seeing that Nan Xingye was getting the hang of it so quickly, the horse groom left with peace of mind.
Then, only Minami Hoshino remained in the stable.
Seeing that there was a place to sleep in the stable, Nan Xingye simply moved in. He didn't want to smell the stench of feet and sweat, nor did he want to hear snoring, teeth grinding, or sleep talking.
This is the stables of the castle's young lady, much more spacious and comfortable than the servants' dormitory, and it's cleaned every day, making it even cleaner.
Nan Xingye adapted quickly.
But I had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Since the horses in this stable are the young lady's beloved horses, why is there only one stable master?
Now that he's the only new horse breeder left in the stable, aren't you worried he'll ruin the horses?
On his first day working as a horse breeder, Nan Xingye didn't go outside.
However, it was Ah-Xi's good friend who came to see Minami Hoshino.
Through him, Nan Xingye learned a lot.
I mostly heard Ah-Xi mention that gentle, kind, and beautiful young lady.
Everyone in the castle has a wish: to be embraced by the young lady and become a vampire.
Ah-Xi: "Ah-Xing, you're taking care of the young lady's horses now, you're in a great position to benefit from this!"
"With your handsome looks, you might actually catch the eye of the young lady!"
"If you ever become a vampire count, don't forget your good brother!"
Nan Xingye did not answer.
That afternoon, he met the legendary young lady, Aliya.
She had long, golden curly hair, almost translucent white skin, a perfect figure, delicate and beautiful features, and a faint smile on her face.
When she walked over, she seemed to be glowing.
She doesn't seem like a vampire; she's more like a compassionate angel.
If Nanxingye had any memories, he would recognize that Aliya looked almost exactly like Achu, except for the color of her hair and eyes.
As Nan Xingye watched Aliya approach him step by step, he felt a strange, inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Aliya stopped a few steps away from Minami Hoshino, looking gentle, noble, and ladylike.
"Your name is Ah Xing, right? Are you adjusting well to working in the stables?" Aliya's voice was also very pleasant.
Nan Xingye pursed his thin lips before answering, "Adapt."
Aliya seemed completely oblivious to his lack of humility and disrespect in his reply.
She still had a gentle smile on her face: "Take me to see the horses."
Nan Xingye then took Aliya with him.
Aliya interacted with each of the horses, and she seemed to really like them.
She lingered for a long time when she saw the pregnant mare.
"Isn't it due to give birth in the next couple of days?" Aliya asked Minami Hoshino.
Nan Xingye nodded. Master Ma had specifically mentioned that this mare was about to give birth.
So, he was just reading a book about postpartum care for mares.
Aliya then instructed Nanxingye, "If it gives birth, send someone to let me know."
Nan Xingye hummed in agreement.
Aliya prepared to leave: "Ah Xing, thank you for taking care of them."
"Don't worry, once Ana calms down in a while, I'll arrange for you to join the castle guard."
Once you join the castle guard, you're no longer just a servant.
Moreover, he was one step closer to becoming a noble vampire.
