Children of the Lin family
Su Liu slept very well. He fell asleep while being kissed. There was no distracting thoughts in his mind. He had no dreams all night and his mental state was of course very good.
With Su Liu, the experience of kissing gradually became not as bad as imagined.
Qi Fengling leaned close to look into Su Liu's eyes, then quickly pressed his lips against Su Liu's. Compared to Su Liu, he had not slept all night.
Su Liu blushed and did not curse as usual. Instead, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a shy smile.
Su Liu likes gentle kisses, and Qi Fengling took notes in his heart.
After washing up, the two vampires came to visit with small gifts.
When they arrived at the specific place at the foot of the mountain, Su Liu did not make a fuss like last time, but obediently took the trekking pole.
When they were about halfway up the mountain, Su Liu felt a little exhausted. There was no one else on the road this time, so she fell on Qi Fengling and refused to get up. "Carry me."
"You were able to finish the walk last time, Su Liu, but you're cheating again," Qi Fengling did not choose a more labor-saving method, but picked up Su Liu.
"Why do you make me walk so far? Is there any treasure on the road?" Su Liu leaned on Qi Fengling's shoulder and panted.
"This is truly a Feng Shui treasure land. Walking around here will help release all distracting thoughts from your body. Don't resist, it will be very comfortable." Qi Fengling's breathing was steady, and his slow tone seemed to carry a hint of magic. "There's a very sweet scent. Smell it carefully."
Su Liu closed his eyes, put aside all distracting thoughts and felt it silently for a while. He seemed to smell the fragrance as well.
"Put me down," Su Liu stood on the ground again and felt the wind, soil, forest, and dew...
At that moment, he was as light as a swallow.
In the second half of the journey, Su Liu didn't even use a trekking pole and walked all the way to Pan Xuesun's residence.
"Where is your master?" Su Liu asked.
The butler took the gift with both hands, glanced at Qi Fengling, and said hesitantly, "The Duke just left."
Su Liu immediately looked at Qi Fengling. Qi Fengling's eyes trembled slightly and he was a little evasive. It was obvious that it was rare for him to see Su Liu enter such an ecstatic state, and he was reluctant to disturb her.
"Where did she go? Was there anyone with her?" Su Liu glared at Qi Fengling, then turned back to ask the housekeeper.
"The Duke is taking Young Master Ji He out for a trip, saying they might go to Nancheng... Nancheng will be hosting a cultural and sports competition next month, so it's going to be quite lively." The butler said carefully.
"Where are Ji Bai and the other three?" Su Liu couldn't help but mention it when she remembered that Ji Bai was also Ji He's sister.
"They are both hardworking and skillful people, and are exactly the talents that are indispensable to the manor," the housekeeper answered in a serious tone.
"I didn't mean to rob anyone," Su Liu laughed. The housekeeper's words sounded strange. Did Pan Xuesun specifically tell him something? Why did he act like Su Liu was a robber?
Although their Spark City is more suitable for Omegas to live in, staying with Pan Xuesun is also a good home.
The butler didn't dare to look at Su Liu, and lowered his head in silence.
Since he didn't see Pan Xuesun, Su Liu didn't bother the housekeeper anymore. After a few polite words, he said goodbye and left.
The road down the mountain was almost all downhill, which was not very friendly to the knees. Qi Fengling spread his wings and walked on the "empty road" while holding Su Liu.
Su Liu was in no hurry to return to Spark City. After all, Dr. Lin was still in the city, eagerly awaiting the blood sample of the second-generation vampires. Su Liu held Qi Fengling's hand and strolled along the street. Previously, this street had been decorated with red lanterns to cater to the atmosphere of a "beauty pageant," and the pedestrians were mostly Alphas. But now, the scene had completely changed.
Omegas with their hair styled like women's buns walked in groups on the street with a few pretty Omega children. Their faces were no longer sad, and they seemed to be discussing something.
"Did you hear? Spark City is going to take over the 'Beauty Pageant'. That's great..."
"I've always said that the Pei family is no good. Otherwise, why are there always a few people missing every time they hold an event? I guess those missing Omegas were accidentally killed by these shameless Alphas..."
"Shh, keep your voice down. The king's patrol is still here."
The crowd was silent for a few seconds, but soon they started discussing again.
"Have you seen this year's winner? She's very beautiful and seems very kind, unlike that vixen-like bitch from last year."
"Those judges just love vixens, don't they? Their taste hasn't changed in all these years. The City Lord must have good taste."
After listening to this for a while, Su Liu felt a little embarrassed. Although he was determined to win the right to host this "beauty pageant", who knew whether these Pei family members would go to Pei Yunxiu to complain overnight and think of a bunch of conspiracies and tricks to mess this thing up in various ways.
Su Liu gave them time to make arrangements, and it all depended on their abilities.
The two vampires paced slowly.
Su Liu was just casually glancing at the corner not far away, but unexpectedly caught sight of Pan Xuesun.
He ran over immediately.
Pan Xuesun was waiting for the sugar figures. Ji He, who was standing next to her, stared at the craftsman's operation and smiled like an innocent child.
The atmosphere around this couple was that of good friends, without even a hint of ambiguity. So when the craftsman handed the finished sugar figure to Ji He, he just told him to hold it firmly, and did not tease Pan Xuesun.
Pan Xuesun really kept his promise and handled Ji He's attitude very measuredly, not a bit too much to cause misunderstanding, nor a bit too little to make people uncomfortable.
"Is it delicious?" Pan Xuesun pointed at the little sugar man and teased him deliberately, "Pinch off one of its ears and let your good friend taste it. If it's delicious, I'll buy one too."
"It's not so good," Ji He was obviously very happy while eating the candy man. His originally pointed little chin became round. Now seeing that Pan Xuesun, a vampire, also wanted to eat candy, he quickly refused.
What if I get an upset stomach?
"What's wrong with that?" Pan Xuesun persisted. "Aren't we good friends?"
Ji He blinked his big eyes twice, then quickly licked the front and back of the sugar man, paying special attention to the two little ears that Pan Xuesun liked. After licking, he smiled so hard that his beautiful eyes narrowed, as if saying, "Oh, sorry, it's all my saliva."
This was a side of Ji He that Su Liu had never seen before.
In the past, Ji He was weak, self-deprecating, and didn't know how to get along with others...
"You're too stingy," Pan Xuesun didn't notice Su Liu's arrival. She held Ji He's shoulder lightly and pointed forward, "Want to eat that sweet cake?"
"Too many," Ji He shook his head.
"Then let's continue shopping. Tell me what you want to eat. There's still more than half a month to go before the Nancheng Cultural and Sports Competition. There's no rush. Let's have fun along the way," Pan Xuesun said like a tour guide.
"Yeah." Ji He has not seen the scenery of other cities. He was born in Taocheng and trapped in Taocheng. Now he is finally going to leave Taocheng and go out to see the world.
"Ji He," Su Liu couldn't bear to watch Pan Xuesun leave. He took a few steps forward and put his arm around Ji He's shoulders. When he looked at Pan Xuesun again, the wariness in Pan Xuesun's eyes quickly disappeared, and he gave Su Liu a standard smile.
"Come and sit with me," Su Liu brought Ji He and Pan Xuesun back to the yard rented by Dang Xia.
"Peach wine," Su Liu enthusiastically poured blood wine for Pan Xuesun.
Pan Xuesun picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, his eyes wary again, "Are you offering your kindness for no reason?"
Su Liu glanced at Ji He and then looked at Pan Xuesun: This is not your attitude towards Ji He.
Pan Xuesun raised his eyebrows: He has a simple mind and is not as complicated as you.
Su Liu laughed, "Then I'll just say it straight."
Pan Xuesun almost couldn't hold the wine glass.
"I want a little bit of your blood," Su Liu told Pan Xuesun about Lin Miao's latest discovery.
"...Okay," Pan Xuesun stretched out his hand and let Su Liu draw blood.
Then Su Liu immediately ordered Qi Fengling to send the blood sample back to Spark City.
Pan Xuesun looked at Qi Fengling, who was being ordered around by Su Liu, with complicated eyes.
She sighed as the silver-gray bat flew away.
The blood has been drawn, so I have to drink the wine.
Pan Xuesun took a sip and thought it was delicious, so he filled his glass again.
Afterwards, he chatted with Su Liu about the current situation while drinking.
Ji He sat aside eating a candy man, listening carefully to Su Liu and Pan Xuesun exchanging information.
In the past, Ji He would just cover his ears and not want to listen, but now he is happy to join their discussion.
"Since Dr. Lin is the brother of the pharmacist, why don't he come forward and ask whether the blood sample in the pills is from His Majesty the King?" Ji He asked.
Pan Xuesun laughed. Unlike Lin Changping, she didn't wantonly mock Ji He's ignorance. She patiently explained, "Although Dr. Lin and that person are siblings, they are not born from the same mother. The Lin family is a bit complicated."
Ji He didn't understand. He and Ji Lian were half-brothers but had the same father. The blood relationship between them was thicker than water, but there was never any hypocrisy between them.
Pan Xuesun didn't ignore Ji He's doubts, nor did he use superficial theories like "How can a poor person like you compare to the powerful and wealthy?" to brush Ji He off. Instead, he analyzed the Lin family's current situation from multiple perspectives. "...They used to rely on Omegas to establish their family, but now they're afraid of Omegas taking power, so they deliberately stir up family feuds. These Omegas in the Lin family, whether they married into the family or were born into the family, are all very pitiful."
Ji He suddenly realized something. He had once heard Lin Changping mention that rumors spread that the Lin family's Omegas were known for their feuding, and that marrying one of them would bring misfortune to the family. There was always a reason for every rumor, and a prime example of this was the current head of the Gu family, a member of the Lin family. She was known for her jealousy, cruelty, and ruthlessness.
"What is Xiao Jihe thinking about?" Pan Xuesun was like a reliable guide, patiently and persuading people.
"I used to be like those people, thinking that this jealous Omega was bad and cruel. I secretly thought that he was a scum and was smearing our Omega community. It seems that I was too shallow," Ji He reflected.
"He is indeed not a good person. You are right. But among those who say that about him, how many are like you, with clean hands?" Pan Xuesun said with a sigh. Perhaps she thought of something bad, she picked up the wine glass and drank the blood wine in it.
"Only when you keep yourself clean can you demand that others be clean too; otherwise, it's all nonsense," Pan Xuesun concluded.
Su Liu smiled and poured another glass for Pan Xuesun, obviously thinking that what Pan Xuesun said was very good.
When Ji He looked at Pan Xuesun, there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.
"Why don't you drink?" Pan Xuesun looked at Su Liu who kept pouring wine for her. She had already drunk four or five glasses while she was talking. Although this kind of fruit wine would not make her, a pure-blooded vampire, drunk, she was the only one drinking it, and it always felt like the atmosphere was lacking.
"You've held too many banquets, and you're not satisfied without anyone to accompany you, right?" Su Liu exposed him mercilessly.
Pan Xuesun seemed not to want Ji He, the pure white Omega, to know that she had done some dissolute things in the past. She coughed a few times while holding the wine glass and signaled Su Liu with her eyes to stop.
"The Lin family also has smart people. I heard that a branch of the Lin family, in order to give his daughter a normal childhood, set up his own family with his wife and daughter more than 20 years ago, and no longer called himself a member of the Lin family. At that time, the little baby was still in swaddling clothes. I don't know how he is doing now," Pan Xuesun said, taking a sip of the wine. She began to savor it slowly, no longer drinking glass after glass as if she were drinking alone.
"He's quite a man of integrity," Su Liu also said with emotion, "There's nothing shameful about being self-sufficient. This kind of Alpha is rare."
As they were talking, there was a commotion not far away.
Pan Xuesun and Su Liu looked at each other and stopped talking.
After a few moments, Dang Xia and Lu Liang pulled and pushed open the half-closed door.
"Are you sure about what time it will be in two days?"
"Can I really meet the city lord tomorrow?"
"What time tomorrow? Can I wait for him if I come earlier? Are you kidding me?" Lu Liang's voice was relentless.
Because Dang Xia was pushing and shoving with Lu Liang, he obviously did not use his dynamic vision. When he saw how lively the yard was, he was also stunned.
"City Lord Suliu?" Lu Liang immediately let go of Dang Xia and ran in. When he saw Pan Xuesun as he got closer, she cried out again, "Your Excellency the Duke, it's me, Aliang! You held me in your arms when you were little!"
Su Liu glanced at Dang Xia, who spread his hands towards him with a helpless expression. "This little Alpha is very difficult to deal with. I was really at my wit's end. That's why I deserted my post and ran to Spark City yesterday. It's really hard for me to do what I want."
"Sir, the heir of the Lin family is getting married in three days. It will be a grand occasion. You must do me the honor of staying and watching the ceremony." Lu Liang explained his purpose.
"I'm not interested," Pan Xuesun still wanted to take Ji He for a walk and play to watch the cultural and sports competition in Nancheng.
"Then I'll hold your legs and not leave," Lu Liang immediately wrapped around him like a snake.
Pan Xuesun also felt sorry for her young age and inexperience, and he also had a bond with her because he had held her in his arms when she was a child, otherwise he would have kicked her off long ago.
Su Liu almost laughed out loud. He originally thought that Dang Xia was embarrassed to accept the gift, but he didn't expect Lu Liang to be so clingy.
Most likely, the fan was forced upon me.
