What is this rustic love talk

Chen Shuo hmm-ed: “Hmm? What’s wrong?”

“Did I step on your foot?”

Su Xiyan had been brewing her emotions for a long time, but was interrupted by Chen Shuo. She almost wanted to stomp on Chen Shuo’s foot right away!

With so many people around, Su Xiyan could only suppress her urge to kill Chen Shuo for the time being. She patiently asked: “Chen Shuo, I asked you before - after reversing your vampire bloodline to become a normal human, what are your plans?”

Chen Shuo: “Huh? Didn’t I answer you already?”

Su Xiyan lightly shook her head: “That was your previous answer. Now, I want to hear you answer again.”

Chen Shuo thought for a while and said: “There’s not much difference from before! However, for my future plans, there is one more person now.”

Hearing this, Su Xiyan’s heart raced violently. She tried her best to keep her voice calm to conceal the waves in her heart: “One more person? Who is it?”

After asking, Su Xiyan was full of anticipation. Was Chen Shuo going to confess to her?

In the dance hall with so many people, how should she respond appropriately?

In just one second, countless thoughts ran through Su Xiyan's mind.

Chen Shuo deliberately pretended to think hard for a while, then the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly grin: “I won’t tell you now.”

Su Xiyan: “...”

What was she getting so excited for? Chen Shuo didn't even intend to confess at all!

Seemingly aware of Su Xiyan’s disappointment, Chen Shuo continued: “I’ll tell you in a few days! Important things should be said at important times and places to be more meaningful.”

Su Xiyan carefully analyzed every word Chen Shuo said, like a private detective.

In a few days? What important day is coming up in a few days?

Important times and places??

Su Xiyan thought hard, the only day that met all these conditions was her birthday in a few days. It seemed that this year's birthday would definitely be different. Su Xiyan leaned her head on Chen Shuo's shoulder again. In an angle Chen Shuo couldn't see, the corners of her delicate lips curled up slightly into a sweet arc.

My birthday, I'm suddenly looking forward to it so much!

After the dance ended, Su Xiyan was still a little reluctant to leave. As she was leaving, Su Xiyan suddenly felt someone stepping on her skirt!

Wearing high heels, Su Xiyan immediately lost her balance.

The person stepping on her skirt was a girl wearing a big red evening gown. She didn't know which company’s rich miss she was, covered in gold and silver jewelry and all kinds of luxury brand goods. From her makeup and evening gown, it was apparent that she had made elaborate preparations for a long time to attend the ball.

It seemed that even before coming to the ball, this girl had planned to become the brightest star of the event.

However, she did not expect her limelight to be stolen by Su Xiyan. Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan. The combination of the handsome man and beautiful woman, dancing in harmony, was so eye-catching that everyone wanted to watch them more. Especially some of the men at the scene, no matter if they had a dance partner or not, their sights were drawn to Su Xiyan.

The girl in red felt that the attention that was supposed to belong to her was snatched away by Su Xiyan, a junior employee who only represented the company to attend the ball. Naturally, she was not happy internally. So, when the music ended and everyone was leaving the dance floor, the girl in red took the opportunity to use the skirt-stepping trick she had learned from clichéd idol dramas, stepping on Su Xiyan's skirt.

Seeing Su Xiyan lose her balance, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of the girl in red’s lips.

But Su Xiyan was Suzhou City’s most powerful demon hunter! Stepping on a skirt was nothing to her.

However, when Su Xiyan saw Chen Shuo standing beside her, she suddenly had another idea. Pretending to lose her balance, Su Xiyan took the opportunity to throw herself into Chen Shuo’s arms.

Chen Shuo reacted extremely quickly. One hand grabbed Su Xiyan’s slender waist, while the other hand steadily supported her back.

As if in an idol drama, the image of Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo froze there for a moment. Four eyes meeting, their emotions seeming to penetrate each other’s hearts instantly.

Su Xiyan’s eyes flashed a hint of light. Indeed, with Chen Shuo by her side, she would always feel safe!

Who’s protecting who here!? She was the powerful demon hunter, supposed to protect the weak, pitiful little vampire, okay? How did it become Su Xiyan herself seeking Chen Shuo’s protection now?

Su Xiyan steadied herself, two sweet soft blushes appearing on her cheeks.

Chen Shuo's eyes were twinkling like stars. He leaned over to Su Xiyan's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"In the world of demon hunters and vampires, you protect me."

"In the ordinary human world, I protect you."

"So happily decided!"

Thump thump~~!!

Su Xiyan felt her heart was about to jump out! What kind of cheesy line was this!?

But why did it sound so sweet?

Even the exquisite desserts on the nearby dessert stand weren’t as sweet as Chen Shuo.

The girl in red’s scheme had failed. She could only hide herself in the crowd.

Chen Shuo looked up and accidentally met the gaze of that girl in red. That girl's eyes were actually looking towards Chen Shuo??

And with some kind of special emotion??

What was going on?

Chen Shuo thought it was his illusion and didn’t think much of it.

After the dance ended, Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo went to the lounge area and sat on the soft sofas to enjoy the music performed by musicians from all over the world.

Su Xiyan looked around, seemingly somewhat disappointed.

Chen Shuo moved closer to Su Xiyan and squeezed together: “No traces of vampires found?”

Su Xiyan nodded: “Yeah! The information Tang Boss gave can’t be wrong. He has always been very rigorous.”

Chen Shuo raised his eyebrows: “Maybe because there were too many people, so the vampire that was detected didn’t come?”

Su Xiyan analyzed: “According to the data Tang Boss gave me, I have analyzed that the traces of this vampire are very consistent with a 9 to 5 office worker. Logically speaking, it should be someone working at Haiyuan Group. This ball was hosted by Haiyuan Group, and all employees have come to show support and participate without exception. I have confirmed this with Haiyuan Group’s people present.”

Chen Shuo spread his hands: “So the vampire that should have appeared didn’t show up. Where exactly is the problem?”

Su Xiyan thought for a while but was also clueless: “I don’t know. Logically speaking, as long as a vampire appears by my side, whether they have used vampire skills or not, I can sense it.”

“But throughout the ball, I didn't sense the existence of any vampires.”

Something was wrong with this!
