With that, she reached out and pulled me up from where I sat leaning against the bed, still confused. He Yizi looked at me and nodded.
“Okay…”
I had no idea what was going on, but somehow the two of us followed behind her, running down corridors that looked even bigger than the Young Master’s mansion.
We went down who knows how many steps before arriving at a brown double door. With a creak, Miss He Fengji strained to pull it open.
“Huff… huff…”
Having run all the way down, Miss He Fengji and I stood with our hands on our hips, catching our breath. He Yizi watched the two of us with a look of contempt.
“Useless! Human strength really does have its limits… vampires never… uh… Chuye, stand up straight! Don’t embarrass us vampires!”
He Fengji pushed up her glasses in her signature way, then stood up straight and smiled at the two of us.
“If I could, I’d really like to chat with you two little ones a bit longer… huff… We’re almost there. Hurry up.”
“Okay.”
I stood up straight and nodded. He Fengji led us through an empty forest, then pointed at a glowing spot not far away.
“It’s right there. Remember to say hello to Young Master Fuwelle for me! I have to go.”
I took the glasses she had given me earlier out of my pocket again.
“Um, these glasses?”
“They’re really yours. They were just for show… keep them. Bye-bye!”
“Okay. Thank you for being willing to let us go…”
“Hmm…”
She opened her mouth like she still had something to say, but in the end, she only let out an “mm.” Then she turned around, slipped into the bushes, and left.
It seemed like she had more to say just now. But why didn’t she say it? While I was wondering, He Yizi patted my shoulder.
“Stop thinking. Let’s go.”
“Ah! R… right.”
But just as we got close, an arrow flew out of the light with a swish. He Yizi shoved me backward hard, and the two of us slammed into a nearby tree. Rather than both of us, it was really more like I was the cushion.
“Are you okay?”
“Thanks for caring. I’m fine… my head just hurts a little…”
“It’s not like I was worried… Get up.”
She didn’t pay me any more attention and instead shouted, “Hey! It’s us two. Don’t do anything rash!”
I struggled to my feet. Before I could even see what was going on, someone pulled me into a very warm embrace. The familiar scent of gardenias… ‘This is…’
I slowly raised my head. The Young Master was looking at me with a smile. Her once glossy, neat hair was now tangled like weeds.
“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry… Sorry… Sorry…”
The Young Master’s voice trembled. Her tears fell onto my face, then slid to the corner of my mouth… ‘So salty…’
“It’s fine…”
“It’s all your fault, you idiot Kelo, shooting arrows recklessly!” Xiao Linlin beside her wiped her tears as she looked at me.
“Isn’t it because we finally had a bit of hope… but I was also afraid it might be someone else’s trap, so I had to stay alert…”
I was even more confused. Why were they acting like this was a life-or-death farewell? Hadn’t only two days passed… right?
“What’s going on?”
Xiao Linlin came over and grabbed my hand.
“The Young Master has been searching for you two for a week…”
“A week?”
I looked at He Yizi. He Yizi looked back at me, just as confused.
‘No way…’
