"My dear Meng! You're finally back to life! I thought you'd already found a cemetery and were going to be like a Western vampire, hiding in a geomantically perfect place to absorb yin energy for ten thousand years before showing up!"
On the other end of WeChat, Luo Yishan, Yuan Meng's best friend, was so excited that she was almost jumping out of her chair. Her typing speed was incredibly fast.
The innocent girl from before seemed to have completely disappeared. Yuan Meng curled her lips slightly and retorted bluntly, "What you're talking about is a zombie. Vampires suck blood, not yin energy. You're so uneducated."
"... You come back just to pick on me. Can we still be good friends?" Luo Yishan asked with a black look on her face. "You didn't come online just to pick on me, did you?"
"Of course not," Yuan Meng said. "Ling Qianchen and I slept in the same room today."
"??"
Luo Yishan sent a bunch of shocked emojis and asked in panic, "So, honey, did Ling Qianchen...? No way!"
"No!" Yuan Meng replied irritably.
Luo Yishan didn't believe it. "No way! You slept in the same room!"
"He slept in the bed and I slept on the sofa. It's perfectly safe. He has no interest in innocent girls. He has a physical aversion to them. We're just acting for his mother," Yuan Meng explained.
Luo Yishan asked the crucial question, "Innocent girl? You?"
"That's not the point. The point is, the crisis is temporarily over. I should be able to fulfill the bet within a month. Keep an eye on that scumbag Chai Yanyu and don't let him run away," Yuan Meng said.
"Okay," Luo Yishan sent a cat - face emoji and said proudly, "Once our Blue Net sets its eyes on someone, we can catch them even if they run to outer space."
"If he runs away, I won't forgive you even if you kneel until your knees are broken!"
Luo Yishan, "... "
Threatening her!
"I want to go to Blue Note tomorrow. Arrange it for me."
Luo Yishan was startled. "Sis, you're in the middle of fulfilling a bet! If you go to a bar, aren't you afraid your innocent - girl persona will be exposed? If Ling Qianchen finds out you're actually a wolf in sheep's clothing and can't help but fall for you, and then takes advantage of the fact that you're still his wife to... "
"Don't worry. He hates me," Yuan Meng said.
After all, Ling Qianchen still had a physical aversion to her.
Even though his mother was pushing so hard, he hadn't crossed the line. This man had his principles.
So, she was happy to take it easy. Her innocence was still very important.
She had endured for so long. It was just because she had gotten drunk and that scumbag Chai Yanyu had taken advantage of her drunken state to trick her into signing a bet about Ling Qianchen.
Everything was just to win!
Just as Yuan Meng and Luo Yishan were chatting merrily on WeChat, Ling Qianchen on the bed slowly opened his eyes. He turned his head and looked at the woman on the sofa, playing with her phone.
The light from the phone illuminated her whole face.
Ling Qianchen, looking at her through the night, suddenly felt a shock in his heart.
What had he just seen?
That woman's smile was so wild and charming!
It must be his eyes playing tricks on him!
The woman sensitively caught the strange look in the darkness. Calm as if she hadn't noticed him looking at her, she naturally tapped on the screen and switched her WeChat back to the account Ling Qianchen knew.
Her eyes blinked rapidly. The wild and charming look on the woman's face disappeared completely. She even pouted at the phone, made cute cat - paw gestures, and meowed twice.
This kind of soft and cute behavior made Ling Qianchen's eye sockets ache. He couldn't help but rub his forehead.
He must be crazy to think that this stupid innocent girl could smile so wildly and charmingly.
"Qianchen, you're awake!" The innocent girl noticed him. Her sweet smile was like a piece of candy. She asked excitedly, "You must be hungry after sleeping for so long. I just saw a tutorial on making baked cakes. Can I make a cake for you?"
Ling Qianchen replied without hesitation, "No."
"But Qianchen, aren't you hungry?" The innocent girl got off the sofa and bounced over to Ling Qianchen. She grabbed his pajamas with both hands and shook them. "If you don't want a cake, can I make something else for you? What do you like to eat? I..."
"If you grab my sleeve again, I'll chop off your rabbit paws!" Ling Qianchen's eyes turned cold and he replied menacingly.
"Um..." The innocent girl was so scared that her face turned pale. She covered her chest with one hand and started sobbing with a pout. "Qianchen, I'm just afraid you're hungry. Don't be so fierce, okay? I'm scared..."
Ling Qianchen couldn't bear it anymore and roared, "Get out!"
"No~" The innocent girl got excited. She pounced on Ling Qianchen and rubbed against him playfully. She said pitifully, "You brought me back to act for your mother. Your mother believed it, and she didn't scold me for the first time tonight. If you drive me out now, your mother will be even angrier than before, and I'll be in big trouble. Qianchen, you're the best. Don't drive me away. Help me..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ling Qianchen sat up suddenly. He quickly opened the drawer, tore open a roll of wide transparent tape, and without hesitation, taped her mouth shut.
With her mouth taped, the innocent girl finally quieted down.
But if her mouth couldn't speak, her eyes could still express.
The corners of the innocent girl's eyes drooped hard, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Pearly tears fell one by one. Her eyes accused: Qianchen, you're so fierce. I'm so scared...
Ling Qianchen rubbed his forehead and chose to ignore her look. He lay back on the bed.
What on earth was he thinking to come back and act in this play today!
After Ling Qianchen fell asleep, Yuan Meng tore off the tape. She rolled her eyes at him and lay down on the sofa.
That dog man actually taped her mouth shut!
It was just a few extra words. How stingy!
The next morning.
Ling Qianchen looked at Yuan Meng at the dining table, looking at him longingly. He lost his appetite and put down his chopsticks.
He had an allergy to innocent girls!
Since he was in middle school and teenagers started to have their first stirrings of love, there had been no shortage of girls coming up to him coyly, looking shy and cute. But every time, he would be nauseated by their coy voices and couldn't eat or sleep well.
Once, he even suspected that there was something wrong with his sexual orientation. His mother's insistence on him getting married and having children was also because she suspected his orientation.
But through his own experience, he knew that his orientation was normal because he was also impatient with men.
Later, he finally found that compared to coy innocent girls, he got along better with capable and straightforward girls and didn't have a physical aversion to them.
So he concluded: He liked capable girls.
