Chen Shuo, Don't forget to go to my home on weekends.

When Su Xiyan heard this "Get lost" from Chen Shuo,

Chen Shuo felt like he had received amnesty!

But he couldn't show that he was too smug about it either. He lazily sat up from Su Xiyan's sofa, stretched, yawned, and then slowly walked towards the door.

As he walked, he kept grumbling:

"Firing the ox after getting the millstone! Dismantling the bridge after crossing the river! Kicking me out after I've cleaned up!"

"Woman, you are heartless!"

Su Xiyan: "..."

"Either get lost or die!"

Every word from Su Xiyan seemed to be squeezed out through gritted teeth, full of killing intent!

Chen Shuo felt a chill down his spine. He immediately left Su Xiyan's home.

The moment he closed the door behind him, Chen Shuo felt relieved!

He had finally escaped!

Luckily Su Xiyan hadn't discovered his little scheme.

Chen Shuo pressed the elevator button and waited. The more than ten seconds he waited for the elevator felt like more than ten years.

After entering the elevator, the doors slowly closed...

Chen Shuo heaved a long sigh of relief.

Suddenly, between the closing elevator doors, a fair hand reached in.

The elevator doors immediately reopened as well.

Together with the opening doors, Chen Shuo saw Su Xiyan's face, cold as frost, once again.

Chen Shuo's hands held a garbage bag. His palms were drenched in cold sweat. He pretended to stay calm:

"What? Can't bear to see me go? Or do you want me to spend the night at your place?"

Su Xiyan looked every bit like a queen. She said:

"From now on, come over every weekend to clean my place."

"And come whenever I call you."

Chen Shuo's life was still in Su Xiyan's hands. On the other hand, he also wanted to stay by Su Xiyan's side and infiltrate the demon hunter organization to get in contact with legendary-level demon hunters.

Only demon hunters at the legendary level had the ability to reverse his bloodline and turn Chen Shuo back from a vampire into a human.

The revolution had yet to succeed. Chen Shuo had to cling on for now.

After agreeing to Su Xiyan's demands, she finally turned and left.

Watching Su Xiyan's proud, retreating figure disappear around the bend of the corridor, as the elevator doors closed, she vanished from Chen Shuo's sight.

With a "ding", the elevator arrived at the first floor.

Chen Shuo threw the garbage he was holding into the garbage bins, sorting them properly, before heading out into the night, leaving the compound where Su Xiyan lived.

The moon had reached its apex by now.

Silvery moonlight slanted down, shining on Chen Shuo.

Looking at his moonlit shadow, Chen Shuo felt this had been a very long day! He had hovered on the brink of death several times.

Luckily, he was still alive.

But how would he deal with a domineering queen like Su Xiyan in the future?

Oh well, he had no solution for this problem yet. He could only take it one step at a time. Su Xiyan was no ordinary girl. She was strong in combat power, with an impressive aura, high IQ, agile mind, yet also moody and unpredictable.

With all the dangerous buffs stacked up,

he could only take it one step at a time.

When Chen Shuo returned to Nanyang University, it was past 11 at night.

The campus curfew was already in effect. Luckily his dorm mate had informed Chen Shuo over WeChat that there would be no room checks by the teachers tonight.

Chen Shuo found a section of the perimeter wall where the surveillance camera was blocked by tree leaves.

Light as a swallow, he leapt upwards. With a quick foothold on the camphor tree beside the wall, he cleared the school perimeter and entered the male dormitory building.

A vampire's skills shouldn't go to waste, after all.

Chen Shuo's dorm mates were all very tactful. When someone didn't make it back to the dorms in time, they would leave the door unlocked.

In the dark of the night, with no lights on, only the faint glow coming in from the streetlamps outside,

Chen Shuo's vision, far superior to an average human's, made the deepest night seem like brightest day to him.

Returning to his dorm room, Chen Shuo lay on his bed, listening to the familiar snores of his roommates.

Usually the snores of his roommates bothered him to no end. But now, listening to them snore, Chen Shuo strangely felt a sense of comfort and security.

After an afternoon and night of torment, Chen Shuo was somewhat tired. But lying in bed, he found himself unable to fall asleep.

Staring blankly up at the ceiling with bright eyes,

he knew his life was about to undergo tremendous, earth-shattering changes, starting from today. And all of this was closely tied to that woman called Su Xiyan.

A sleepless night.

In the next few days, Chen Shuo's life temporarily returned to its former tranquility.

Just like any other freshman, he went from class to class, dining hall to dorm room to classroom, spending all his time among those three places.

Occasionally he would participate in club activities, or go out with his dorm mates to the off-campus snack street for street food.

It was another easy Friday with few classes.

Chen Shuo went to the school cafeteria for lunch with his dorm mate Lu Chen.

As they walked along the shaded path, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. His entire being became excited.

"Chen Shuo, look! Up ahead! Quick, look!"

Chen Shuo: "What is it?"

Unable to contain his excitement, Lu Chen urged:

"Look who's up ahead?"

Following the direction Lu Chen was pointing,

Chen Shuo immediately stopped in his tracks.

What the?!

Destined adversity??

Up ahead on the tree-lined path, a girl in a white blouse and gray skirt, wearing high heels, was walking towards them.

Her long, slender legs were sheathed in black stockings.

Her entire being exuded an aura that made it hard for others to look directly at her—the aura of a queen.

This... damn it! It was Su Xiyan??

Chen Shuo knew Su Xiyan attended the same school as him. These past few days, he had been deliberately avoiding anywhere Su Xiyan might show up.

Even the hangouts of the juniors and seniors, Chen Shuo gave them a wide berth,

just to avoid running into Su Xiyan.

But on this tree-lined path with no place to hide, he just had to bump into Su Xiyan like this.

Lu Chen's beady eyes radiated undisguised anticipation, looking just like a boy experiencing his first crush.

"Chen Shuo, what should I do to catch Su Xiyan's attention when she walks past me?"

Chen Shuo: "..."

Thought to himself: Bro! If you're looking to die, don't drag me into it!

Lu Chen glanced at the dumbstruck Chen Shuo, and muttered:

"Chen Shuo, could it be you've never seen a great beauty like Su Xiyan before? Look at you, can't even walk properly."

It wasn't that Chen Shuo was afraid of Su Xiyan, just that he felt avoiding trouble was better than inviting it.

Seeing Chen Shuo, the corners of Su Xiyan's mouth quirked up in an interested smile. She really wanted to reach out and pinch his puffed up cheeks. This little vampire was rather cute, to some extent.

She restrained herself, not forgetting to remind Chen Shuo: "Come early this weekend, don't keep me waiting too long."

Having said that, under the dumbfounded stares of Lu Chen and the other spectators, Su Xiyan disappeared around the bend of the tree-lined path, the clacking of her high heels on the bluestone pavement crisp and clear.

It took Lu Chen some time to react. He punched Chen Shuo on the shoulder:

"Chen Shuo, you rascal, since when did you get to know the school beauty Su Xiyan?"

"She even invited you to her home this weekend?"

"Come clean! What's your relationship with her?"

Just as Chen Shuo was about to brush it off with a few words,

a strange sensation came over him.

He felt like a peculiar pair of eyes behind him was staring at him!

His keen vampire senses told him it was another vampire, and no ordinary one at that!

Chen Shuo whipped around abruptly!
