99 Can a rabbit eat a wolf? (1/2)
She waits for the hug, but it never comes. Dejected, she moves away from him. She shouldn't have said it. She feels like banging her head on the wall. The vampire king is stupid. She's even more stupid. Why did she confess like that? She should have waited. She should have apologized. It would have been better to never say anything at all. She's dying of embarrassment internally. This is her 157th rejection.
She stands up with a smile. ”I will find Jin.”
”Don't go.” He stares at her. ”Sit down there.”
”I think that I have embarrassed myself enough for the day.” Or for eternity. ”I can't face you anymore. I will lock myself in the room until you forget about it.”
Xiao Chun Dan, who has been watching and hearing for a long time, wants to comment out of habit. He stops when he notices that the bond between them it growing stronger again. It seems that the vampire king has accepted her again.
”Don't be dramatic.” He sighs. ”I am just surprised. Something is bothering me.”
Huang Qiuyan's soul shatters when she hears those words. He finds her vexing.
Seeing her ashen face, he guesses that she's thinking something strange again. He doesn't want her to misunderstand. He states, ”You have been on 156 dates.”
She scratches her head. ”Yes?”
”I wonder how many of them are alive right now.” He cracks his knuckles. ”They are lucky that the apocalypse arrived before I found you.”
Eh? She blinks her eyes. ”Why are you worried about them?”
”Do I seem worried to you?” His mood becomes worse. How thick-headed this woman is? ”Why would I be worried about men who went on the dates with my mate?”
It's not one or two. It's 156. He's more than four thousand years old. He has never ever gone on a single date. He did have a fiancee. But, his parents chose her for him and he never touched that woman. She died during the purge.
She shrugs. ”I wanted to get married before my 30th birthday.”
He stares at the woman in front of him. ”How many times have you been kissed or hugged by other men?”
She furrows her brows. ”I only counted the failed dates, but I never counted the hugs or kisses.”
He clenches his teeth.
”I might have been kissed 10 or 15 people before you, but it was barely a peck. They told me that they wanted to check chemistry.” She stares back at him with a blank face. ”It's the 21st century. Kissing someone is not strange.”
He has the urge to kill someone. Why did he even bother to ask? It was better if he didn't ask her anything. Humans are too modern these days. It's good that the apocalypse came and wiped half of the useless population.
”But, I was a traditional woman. So, I told them straight away that I wouldn't sleep with them before marriage.” She cocks her head and sighs. ”I slept with you before marriage.”
”Woman, vampires get married when they complete the bonding.” Fu Sheng resists the urge to smack the back of her head. ”It's the same as getting married in human terms. it's more than that. Being my true mate means you are my wife, my lover, my friend, and my comrade.”
”Am I?” She leans closer to him. ”Your lover, friend, comrade, and wife?”
”No, you are not.” He flicks her forehead. ”You rejected me. If you are curious what rejection means, it meant that we are divorced in human terms.”
”Is there a way to remarry?” She looks at him with starry eyes. ”Can't we get married in a human way? I want to wear a dress.”
