Hibernating Beast
The entire garden is neither big nor small, about the size of twenty athletic fields.
There is a scene every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps.
Waterside pavilions and rockery are lined up one after another.
"The master is over there," the servant who led the way was a vampire Beta. The way he looked at Su Liu was like a salesperson who was eager to promote his own products.
In the pavilion not far away, there was a burst of sweet laughter.
In the middle of a dozen charming human Omegas was a handsome and elegant vampire Alpha.
That is Pei Yunxiu.
He is indeed very handsome.
There is a fresh and unworldly reserve between her eyebrows.
Not romantic, but pure.
He was holding a pen and painting flowers on the blood slaves.
Placi sat somewhere else, drinking alone, and it was obvious that he hadn't gained anything from this place.
"Sir," the servant reminded loudly.
Pei Yunxiu didn't stop his hands, he just tilted his head slightly to look over.
His eyes were cold, but when he saw Su Liu, he smiled gently like a young boy who had just fallen in love.
This is a very young and pure smile.
This is not the smile a vampire who has lived for three thousand years should have.
"...The protagonist of the convenience store?" Su Liu whispered to Qi Fengling.
Qi Fengling uttered a "hmm," and felt a rare sense of crisis.
"Su Liu," Pei Yunxiu put down his pen, walked sideways around the blood slaves, and came to Su Liu. His clear eyes looked at Su Liu cautiously.
"Do you know me?" Su Liu took Qi Fengling's arm.
Pei Yunxiu looked down at their intimate actions and shook his head somewhat disappointedly, "I've heard of it, but now, I know you."
"Then are we friends?" Su Liu said with a smile.
Pei Yunxiu said: "If you say it is, then it is."
"......" Isn't this the convenience store protagonist's catchphrase? Whenever he says this, it means he's actually a little angry. Su Liu pretended not to understand, "Then can you sign here, okay?"
Su Liu took out the "Indemnification Statement" from his pocket, pointed to the blank space next to Pan Xuesun's name and said, "Sign here."
"...No, at least not now," Pei Yunxiu's voice of refusal was soft and helpless.
"Why?" Su Liu wondered if Pei Yunxiu would also say the same thing as Pan Xuesun, "You're not going to marry me, so why should I sign?"
But he was wrong.
"If you sign, you'll have to leave," Pei Yunxiu said, "so it's not good."
"...Then when will you be willing to sign?" Su Liu couldn't help but pout. He didn't know why he was more relaxed in front of Pei Yunxiu than when he was facing Qi Fengling.
"I will sign after the cultural and sports competition is over," Pei Yunxiu looked into Su Liu's eyes, his face slightly red.
"That's still a month away, I can't wait," Su Liu looked at Bosi. Bosi seemed drunk and was lying on the table to rest.
"I'll help you with the other names," Pei Yunxiu offered. "I know all those vampires. I won't let you wait in vain."
Is this even possible? Su Liu gave Qi Fengling a look that said, "Look, he's still the best," and handed the document to Pei Yunxiu. Finally, she warned him worriedly, "If you lose it, I'll never let you go."
He knew that getting Pan Xuesun to sign again would not be as easy as before.
Pei Yunxiu unfolded the document and took a look. He seemed to see a familiar handwriting, and the faint trace of longing between his brows disappeared. "In a month, I will definitely return it intact to Zhao."
Returning the jade intact to Zhao State is not an idiom from this world.
Pei Yunxiu showed his cards.
"This is a friend of mine. He admires you very much and wants to find a job here," Su Liu pushed Yu Tu in front of Pei Yunxiu.
Pei Yunxiu's gaze paused for a moment on Su Liu's hand on Yu Tu's shoulder, and then he asked the butler to take Yu Tu away.
The butler looked at Yu Tu a few times and seemed to have a plan in mind.
As soon as Su Liu saw this look, she knew it was safe.
Yu Tu will definitely accept the formal view of marriage and love here.
Su Liu looks forward to seeing that day.
——Yu Tu ran to Su Liu with his wife, pointed at Su Liu's nose and cursed him angrily, asking why he extorted half of his income.
That scene will definitely be exciting.
Just like Ji He refused to wipe the bodies of the four people, it was inspiring.
"Why is he sleeping here?" Su Liu ordered Qi Fengling to take Bosi away. He had something to talk to Pei Yunxiu in private.
Qi Fengling was worried about Pei Yunxiu, but he was very confident in the protagonist of the convenience store. The protagonist's mental age was only nineteen, much purer than he was now.
So Qi Fengling picked up Platinum and followed a servant who was leading the way.
"I heard that the blood slaves here have seven days of vacation a month? Have you also arranged accommodation for their parents?" Su Liu asked as he sat down.
The blood slaves who had originally gathered together now dispersed and were rehearsing a dance not far away.
The way they looked at Pei Yunxiu was more of respect than admiration.
"Save one and save one," Pei Yunxiu obviously did not agree with the "survival of the fittest" law followed by this world.
"Has your sister come to see you?" Su Liu followed the direction Chu Liu said, but he didn't see Pan Xuesun and Ji He, and he didn't know where the two were abducted by the king.
"I haven't seen her for many years. This body has defects. It looks obedient and sensible, but it is actually mentally retarded. Pan Xuesun must hate me very much." Pei Yunxiu said.
"...What?" Su Liu suddenly felt that the flower tea in his mouth became bitter. He looked at Pei Yunxiu's face in shock.
This face is very outstanding and beautiful, even more beautiful than Pan Xuesun's bright face. If this face grew on an Omega, it would inexplicably reveal a hint of pity, as if... it was born to be a plaything.
Could this be "Kabuki syndrome"?
"It's mild," Pei Yunxiu said. "It's not very obvious, but up close, you'll feel he's quite stupid... In the past, the Pei family had the final say in Nancheng."
After taking over this body, Pei Yunxiu obviously put a lot of effort into building this unique Nancheng by decentralizing power.
"I also need you to sign the authorization for the beauty pageant," Su Liu mentioned the agreement between him and Pei Qing at the right time.
"I can't sign for you on my own initiative, but I can assure you that the hosting rights of the beauty pageant will be in my hands," Pei Yunxiu said. "Is that okay?"
"......" Su Liu only now understood why the Pei family insisted on letting him find Pei Yunxiu, but also allowed him to see Pei Yunxiu without any obstacles.
It turned out that in their minds, Pei Yunxiu was a moron who was firmly controlled by the Pei family. Su Liu was really impressed.
"It's a heart poison." Pei Yunxiu said, "I planted it a long time ago. My sister probably doesn't know about it. I sometimes lose control of my body."
Su Liu covered her collar and said warily, "What do I want to control you for?"
Pei Yunxiu laughed. "I won't do that. They control me only to make me profit for them, not to do anything to you. The heart poison they planted has a weakness. It can only control people with mental disabilities. Its effect on me is very weak."
Pei Yunxiu, standing outside the pavilion, stared at his reflection in the lake and sighed, "This body always makes me feel like all my points have been exchanged for beauty. What a loss."
A mentally retarded beauty is like a custom-made doll, not made for herself.
It's to please others.
If this isn’t a losing business, what is it?
Unless you are a sick paranoid, no one would give up an ordinary life and put all the points into the beauty column. Even if you become a mentally retarded person in the next life, you must become a beauty, right?
"You are the second Alpha that I think is so beautiful," Su Liu said.
The first one is still Qi Fengling, but the adult Qi Fengling does not look so pitiful. He has sharp edges and the characteristics of an Alpha are very obvious.
Although he is also good-looking, he and Pan Xuesun are not as good as Pei Yunxiu. They lack a bit of flavor.
A feeling of being ravaged.
"The vampires in your house are all so enthusiastic. Did the Pei family hint to you to seduce me?" Su Liu asked.
"...I pretended not to understand, after all, I am mentally retarded," Pei Yunxiu bit his lower lip lightly, not knowing what he was thinking about, and smiled with his head down.
Su Liu coughed a few times. The Pei family really wanted to get benefits from marrying into the family. Their method of solving problems has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and it has always been through marriage.
This time I'm going to give him a mentally retarded person...
If the protagonist of the convenience store had not possessed Pei Yunxiu, Su Liu might never have been able to force a mentally retarded person to sign. This is too shameless.
Pei Yunxiu raised his head and looked at Su Liu at some point. His eyes were clear, like a child's.
"Apart from your sister and the Pei family, who else knows that you are 'mentally retarded'?" Su Liu asked.
"They are the only ones who know that I'm not mentally retarded. I'm just a little dumb and lack comprehension. I'm not the type that looks mentally retarded at first glance," Pei Yunxiu explained.
"...Then don't forget the signature you promised to give me," Su Liu said worriedly, "As for the hosting rights of the beauty pageant, I don't need it, but I will send my people over."
Then, the two vampires came closer to discuss related matters.
During this time, Pei Yunxiu's hand was on the back of Su Liu's chair. The two vampires were enjoying the blood slave's dance and chatting at the same time. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
At night.
Su Liu was placed in a separate courtyard near Pei Yunxiu's main courtyard to rest. He hugged Qi Fengling and felt emotional about Pei Yunxiu's life experience.
Qi Fengling couldn't help but interrupt with a sullen expression as he listened. "Even if Pei Yunxiu was indeed mentally handicapped before, he's not mentally retarded now. Would you feel comfortable giving him the rights to host the beauty pageant? You two must have had private contact from time to time before."
"...But he's been poisoned by a heart poison. What can he do? If he blatantly surrenders to me, will the Pei family torture him?" Su Liu said with a "tsk" sound. "It's hard to explain to you. He seems to have changed after you met him."
Qi Fengling gritted his teeth secretly. He hugged Su Liu from behind, who had her back turned, and said, "He's good-looking and easy to control. He's your ideal type. You regret being with me, don't you?"
"I didn't!" Su Liu turned around angrily, "How can you be like this? He's a mentally retarded person, how can you not have any sympathy at all?"
"...He is not, he is very smart." Qi Fengling did not expect that the soul fragment of a nineteen-year-old would actually give him the heaviest blow.
"You don't understand how it tortures a brilliant soul to be trapped in a heavy, clumsy body," Su Liu's eyes flashed with heartache. "He can't live as he pleases and can only pretend to be stupid. How pitiful."
"...Su Liu, you've changed," Qi Fengling turned his head away angrily, "You've suffered a loss and are still counting money for others."
"Let go of my hand, don't get close to me," Su Liu pushed him, "What do you mean by others? He is also a part of you."
"So many smart people haven't been able to take advantage of you, and you, a moron, even gave up the right to host the beauty pageant," Qi Fengling sighed deeply, "I'm also a moron, please be kind to me."
"Are you sick?" Su Liu's anger suddenly subsided. He felt sorry for Pei Yunxiu, wasn't that just like feeling sorry for Qi Fengling's fragments? He was angry that Qi Fengling didn't understand him and didn't trust his love, but when he calmed down, he also vaguely felt that Pei Yunxiu seemed... indeed not quite right.
"Have you thought it through, Su Liu?" Qi Fengling pinched Su Liu's waist. He still underestimated his 19-year-old self.
At that time, he was the most rebellious in his life.
He pretended to be pitiful to gain sympathy and instigated sowing discord among his mother's suitors, making them wary of each other.
He tore off his usual gentle mask and coldly scolded the Omega who had come to his house crying after graduation and asked him to go out to see a movie. He said that if they didn't leave, he would call the police and accuse them of trespassing and attempting to harass him.
She also followed Su Liu's bodyguard, standing in the rainy night and desperately telling herself to stay calm. Later, she encouraged herself to endure by saying, "He doesn't have a boyfriend, I still have a chance."
Nineteen-year-old Qi Fengling is fearless and will take action to achieve what he wants.
It is different from the ignorance of sixteen, the sobriety of twenty-one after emerging from the rebellious period, and the calmness and clarity of twenty-three.
It was a beast that knew how to endure.
It was also the dark history that Qi Fengling did not want to recall.
