[Human x Vampire]

Chu Yue suspects her new neighbor has a crush on her.

The man is pale, with bangs covering his eyes, and gloomy as a mushroom growing in some corner. He doesn't say much, but he's always quietly doing nice things for her.

One time, she pretends to be drunk and catches her neighbor sneaking up to her. His warm lips hover just above hers, hesitating, uncertain.

Chu Yue thinks, What a coward.

She flips over, sits up, and presses her lips straight to his.

After that night, Chu Yue has a boyfriend.

Once they're together, her boyfriend no longer hides how obsessed he is with her.

It's as if he has skin hunger. He always wants to be close to her, often sniffs her to catch her scent, kisses her neck, and kisses her so hard he nearly bites her lips open.

Like an affectionate puppy.

Lost in love, Chu Yue thinks dizzily: So this is what my best friend meant by being physically attracted to someone.

-

Her boyfriend doesn't like garlic.

Chu Yue: "That's normal. Actually, aside from garlic crayfish, I don't like garlic either. That's only natural."

Her boyfriend carries an umbrella when he goes out on sunny days.

Chu Yue: "That's normal. Physical sun protection. No wonder my boyfriend's skin is so pale."

Her boyfriend is about to kiss her, but hesitates when he touches the silver necklace around her neck.

Chu Yue: "That's normal. Metal allergies are a thing. There are all sorts of weird allergens in this world."

Her boyfriend shows her his red eyes and fangs.

Chu Yue: "That's normal. My boyfriend is so talented. He even does cosplay!"

Her boyfriend snaps a werewolf's neck right in front of her.

Chu Yue: "That's nor...?!"

Chu Yue: "Holy crap, there is no way that's normal!!!"

-

Chu Yue finally understands.

So you just want to drink my blood!!!

She's on the verge of tears. So this is what it really means to be physically attracted to someone.

She immediately packs her things and runs. Who cares about love? Staying alive matters more.

But after running so far, she still gets caught and dragged back by the vampire.

The red-eyed, sharp-toothed vampire bends over and brushes his fangs against her neck, threatening her in a low voice. "You're the one who came after me first."

"How can you just leave me... Master?"

- Tides, Tides

After her father dies, Duan Wenxi is found by a grandfather she hasn't seen in seventeen years. He takes her back to the capital to claim her place in the family.

That same day, Duan Wenxi meets Shen Guanchao for the first time.

The man wears a perfectly tailored suit with crisp restraint. His gaze is as deep as a cold pool, and even a glance from him is intimidating.

Duan Wenxi takes half a step back and presses her lips together. Then, still, she politely greets him.

The man speaks coolly. "You're my brother's daughter. I shouldn't have to look after you, but I'll take responsibility."

And so he reviews Duan Wenxi's test papers, corrects her homework, attends her parent-teacher meetings, and helps her fill out her college applications.

Cool and distant, he keeps his promise and fulfills every duty a parent owes his brother's daughter.

There's only one thing he can't give Duan Wenxi.

"Wenxi, I'm your uncle."

The air falls deathly silent. Duan Wenxi hears her heartbeat thunder, then stop like a clock that has run down. She forces herself to smile as sweetly as she did when they first met.

"I've always known, Uncle."

-

Shen Guanchao doesn't care about her, and he could never love her.

The night he rejected her without mercy, Duan Wenxi lay awake all night. The next day, she left Shen Guanchao's home and blocked him on every platform.

What she didn't know was that after she left, Shen Guanchao went mad.

-

Later, Duan Wenxi has no choice but to attend a family dinner.

There she sees her uncle, no longer restraining or concealing himself. He pins her against the wall with all his strength, his voice hoarse. "Wenxi, I regret it."

Duan Wenxi pushes him away and smiles politely. "Don't you remember what you said?"

"I'm your niece, Un-cle."
