CH 190.3

The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 190, The Charismatic Vampire

"You were right, I regretted this." As Cong Ying Yu embraced nothingness, a tear fell from the corner of her eyes.

Cong Ying Yu returned to her castle with the only cloak left by Chi Han Lin. Then she shut herself in the room and never came out again.

When Ou Zheng Ying came find Nie Zhen'er to persuade her, Nie Zhen'er said, "Uncle Ou, I can't intervene in these emotional matters and my mother won't listen to me either."

Ou Zheng Ying sighed, "Who would have thought that Ying Yu would be this infatuated?"

After the Chi Han Lin incident, Luan Qing Xiao noticed that someone was following her and Nie Zhen'er.

The person following them was extremely secretive. They could feel they were being spied on, but they couldn’t catch them.

When the two went to the Si Qi Courtyard to attend classes, they happened to meet Wen Xi Qin. Seeing Nie Zhen’er was furrowing her brows, he asked, "Zhen'er, what's the matter? Did you encounter any difficulty?"

Nie Zhen'er hesitated, "Professor Wen, I kept feeling that someone is following me and Qing Xiao, but we haven’t been able to catch them."

Hearing this, Wen Xi Qin immediately discreetly looked around, "Why would someone follow you?"

Suddenly he thought of a possibility: Did someone discover Nie Zhen'er's identity, so they were following her to collect evidence?

Wen Xi Qin took this matter to heart. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would go stroll around the courtyard where Nie Zhen'er was attending class. There was one time that Wen Xi Qin met Ding Sheng. He noticed Ding Sheng was watching Nie Zhen'er from a distance with a strange look.

Could it be Ding Sheng who was following Nie Zhen'er?

But Ding Sheng was too eye-catching. If he was following Nie Zhen'er, there’s no way they wouldn’t have been able to discover Ding Sheng.

Since Nie Zhen'er couldn't solve it by herself, she told Ou Zheng Ying. In just a few days, Ou Zheng Ying found out who the person following Nie Zhen’er was.

It turned out that the person was Shu Li, a reporter sent by the News Daily to investigate.

Ever since Ding Sheng told Shu Li that Nie Zhen'er was a vampire, Shu Li began following Nie Zhen'er to collect evidence against her.

Shu Li has been stalking Nie Zhen'er for a period of time, but didn’t manage to collect any evidence. However, in order to win the prize, Shu Li ignored the lack of evidence and began to fabricate reports out of thin air, trying to pin Nie Zhen'er as a vampire through her report.

When Ou Zheng Ying found her, Shu Li was almost done writing her report.

Ou Zheng Ying didn’t tell Nie Zhen'er about this matter, but instead wrote a letter and mailed it to Wen Xi Qin.

Since Wen Xi Qin is well known for being an obsessive fan of vampires and knows Nie Zhen'er’s identity, after informing him, Wen Xi Qin will definitely resolve the trouble for her.

With autumn arriving, the weather was getting colder and the police station received a call saying that Goethe University had found an unrecognizable female body.

The police quickly launched an investigation. Shortly afterwards, the forensic doctor discovered some hair that didn’t belong to the woman's body. Through testing, the owner of the hair was discovered to be Wen Xi Qin, a finance professor at Goethe University.

The identity of the female corpse was also quickly discovered.

When the police arrested Wen Xi Qin, Wen Xi Qin confessed to killing Shu Li.

However, no matter how the police interrogated, Wen Xi Qin didn’t say why he wanted to kill Shu Li.

The police investigation revealed that Shu Li was currently preparing a report about a vampire whereas Wen Xi Qin was a well-known vampire enthusiast. Vampire was the only connection between the two. This may be why Wen Xi Qin killed Shu Li.

With conclusive evidence of the murder, Wen Xi Qin was convicted to a death sentence with a year of reprieve.

After Luan Qing Xiao learned that Wen Xi Qin had been sentenced to death, she didn't know what to say.

If the male lead dies in the virtual world, the world will instantly collapse.

She can only say that fortunately, Wen Xi Qin wasn’t executed immediately which left Nie Zhen'er and her a buffer period of a year.

When Wen Xi Qin was executed a year later, Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er were sitting on the beach with Nie Zhen’er hugging Luan Qing Xiao's waist, leaning against her.

Luan Qing Xiao held Nie Zhen'er's hand and said out of context, "Remember to wait for me at the usual place."

Nie Zhen'er turned her head, confused, as Luan Qing Xiao smiled and kissed her on the lips.

At this moment, the world froze and then like scattered sand, it collapsed in an instant.

The Real World

Once Luan Qing Xiao woke up from the virtual world, she hastily greeted Qu Wei before taking a shower next door and putting on the new clothes she bought last time. Then, she went in front of the third floor elevator door to wait for Nie Zhen'er.

The sunlight outside the window fell on Luan Qing Xiao through the fine branches and leaves. She waited patiently until finally the elevator started to move down from the fifth floor.

After each treatment, Nie Zhen'er has half an hour of free time. When the half hour was over, she needed to return to the fifth floor to continue receiving treatment from the psychotherapist.

Since she has an extremely serious world-weariness mentality, if she is left alone, the idea of destroying the world will appear in her mind.

After six worlds of treatment, Nie Zhen'er's psyche changed and her world-weariness had begun to improve significantly.

Originally, she needed a psychotherapist to accompany her downstairs. Ever since the last time, she has been allowed to come down by herself.

"Ding!" The elevator came to the third floor, stopped, and the door slowly opened.

Luan Qing Xiao stared at the elevator without even blinking.

Little by little, Nie Zhen'er's figure appeared. Once the elevator door was fully opened, Luan Qing Xiao couldn't help showing a bright smile. She stepped forward and extended out her hand to Nie Zhen'er, "We meet again, my princess."

Nie Zhen'er's somber eyes appeared much clearer than last time. She looked at Luan Qing Xiao's brilliant smiling face blankly and then glanced down at her outstretched hand.

Seeing Nie Zhen'er hadn’t moved, Luan Qing Xiao stubbornly walked half a step towards her with a deliberately uncomfortable expression on her face and said pitifully, "Zhen'er, my arm is so sore. If you don’t hold my hand, I can’t put it down."

When Nie Zhen'er heard her voice, her curled eyelashes trembled before finally raising her arm and putting her hand in Luan Qing Xiao's hand.

Nie Zhen'er's fingers were cold. Luan Qing Xiao held her cold little hand tightly and gently pulled her along to let her walk out of the elevator with her.

"Zhen'er, why are your hands this freezing?" Luan Qing Xiao said, while holding Nie Zhen'er's other hand by her side.

She held Nie Zhen'er's hand up with both hands and lowered her head slightly. Her lips approached closer to that cold ice of a hand and blew gently at them.

Nie Zhen'er didn't expect Luan Qing Xiao would do such a thing and was startled. Her eyes widened slightly as her fingers couldn't help curling up.

Luan Qing Xiao raised her head and smiled at Nie Zhen'er, "I’m helping you warm your hands."

Her gaze was so clear and warm that Nie Zhen'er fell into a daze until her hand touched that heat source, she recovered her senses.

She realized that her hand was on Luan Qing Xiao's cheek and Luan Qing Xiao's hand was still holding hers on the outside.

A warm feeling passed through Nie Zhen'er's fingertips to her entire body. Even Nie Zhen'er's pale face became slightly warm and her cheeks flushed lightly.

"That’s enough." Nie Zhen'er felt extremely awkward and wanted to withdraw her hand.

Luan Qing Xiao let go and let her retract her hand.

"After today, there are still three days before we can see each other again." Luan Qing Xiao said regretfully, "I really want to be with you forever."

Nie Zhen'er felt that although she withdrew her hand, that warmness not only didn’t subsided, but had intensified instead. Her face had already started burning up.

The staff of the Plot Correction Institute kept passing by, but Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er seemed to have erected a high wall around them so that there were only two of them inside.

For others, thirty minutes might not be too long or short. However, to Luan Qing Xiao, it felt extremely short.

She hadn't even said more than a few words to Nie Zhen'er and didn’t have the time to make her laugh. It was as if thirty minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

The supervisor had to come out from his office to remind them of the time and urged Nie Zhen'er to quickly return to the fifth floor.

Nie Zhen'er's reaction was quite dull. There wasn’t any disappointment visible, yet after she got on the elevator, she saw Luan Qing Xiao who was staring at her outside the elevator. A mist suddenly appeared in her eyes. Nie Zhen'er blinked her almond eyes aggrievedly, trying to blink away the fog that blocked her from seeing Luan Qing Xiao, but the fog only became deeper and deeper.

"Zhen'er, don't be afraid, three days later, I'll wait for you." Luan Qing Xiao promised. Her eyes were reluctant to leave Nie Zhen'er for even a moment.

"Okay." At the last moment the elevator was about to close, Luan Qing Xiao got Nie Zhen'er's response.
