"What exactly did you come here looking for?" Lu Shi asks this question eight hundred times a day.
What could a vampire from the future, who has traveled to a time a thousand years in the past and is fighting his instinct to drink human blood, possibly be after?
I usually jab him hard in the forehead. "If you know too much, when it's time for me to leave, I might not be able to stop myself from killing you."
Lu Shi just laughs, unfazed. He's as carefree as ever.
But it's true. I won't leave my secret behind in this time. Even if Lu Shi matters a little more to me than an ordinary person, I won't care too much about him.
My eyes turned scarlet as I slaughtered all the ghosts in this other world, but that was only because I was furious at being unable to find anything worth longing for.
"We've been together for three years. After all this time, are you really going to leave without a word?"
"Of course I can. I'm a vampire, after all. Three years don't mean anything to me."
I smile indifferently. I was born without love or pain, so how could I ever be tied down?
But in the end, perhaps even that confidence won't hold.

(Why does fixing a typo count as an update every time~~ Honestly, it's kind of satisfying to keep seeing myself updating.)
