Chapter 1105: The Forbidden Rose Song (15)
When Ming Shu woke up, it was already evening the next day.
There was no light in her apartment. The thick curtains prevented any light from entering.
Tong Ye sat beside her and looked at her worriedly. When he saw her waking up, he heaved a sigh of relief. “You finally woke up.”
Ming Shu scanned her surroundings. “How long did I sleep?”
“You slept from yesterday night till this evening…” Tong Ye looked at the time. “It’s 6 PM now. What did you do? Why did you faint suddenly? Vampires can fall sick? Did you eat expired food? Did Angel Song sell fake blood?”
Tong Ye bombarded her with a series of questions.
Ming Shu sat up and raised her hands. Then, she clenched them into fists. “I seem to be stronger than before.”
“What?”
“Power.”
Tong Ye: “…”
Tong Ye touched Ming Shu’s forehead. “You don’t have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense?”
Ming Shu slapped his hand away. “My power really increased.”
“Why are you talking gibberish after you wake up? Don’t scare me.”
A vampire’s power increased steadily over the years. No one could suddenly become powerful within one night.
Is she dreaming?
Ming Shu didn’t want to argue with him. She changed the topic. “Where is Su Mian?”
Tong Ye pointed outside. “He just went to rest…”
Tong Ye tried to stop her, but Ming Shu rushed out. She saw Su Mian sleeping on the sofa. She stood at the stairs and stared at him for a while before returning to her room.
“Su Mian called me and said that you fainted. He couldn’t give me any other information. What on earth happened?”
Ming Shu shook her head. “Nothing. I might have eaten too much tonic.”
“Are you sure?” The little ancestor looked weird today.
Ming Shu raised her hands to show that her body was normal.
Tong Ye observed her. She seemed fine. He touched his chin and said, “Is there something wrong with the blood from Angel Song?”
Ming Shu: “…”
Tong Ye didn’t suspect anything. “I told you that you shouldn’t eat too much. Humans get sick if they eat too much. We are the same. We have all kinds of viruses in our blood too.”
Ming Shu interrupted Tong Ye. “Help me check Su Mian’s background. I want all the information about him from the time he was born till now.”
“Why do you want to investigate him? Have you watched too much television and think that he is a secretly rich second generation?” Tong Ye asked.
“Just do what I tell you.”
“Fine, fine, fine. You’re the boss.” Tong Ye was still worried. “Are you really okay?”
“Yes,” Ming Shu promised.
She finally managed to send Tong Ye away.
“Oh, you brought him to Angel Song yesterday so it will be good if you put your mark on him. Other vampires might hara.s.s him in order to take revenge on you.”
Tong Ye wanted to tell her to stay away from this human, but based on her character, she would not do it. Hence, he decided to swallow his words.
Also, Su Mian stayed beside her for the entire night. He went out an hour before she woke up because he couldn’t stay awake any longer.
He didn’t know what happened between them, so he should just let them handle their own matters.
Ming Shu turned serious. “Yes, I know.”
She closed the door and looked at the person on the sofa.
Yesterday, she made her mark on him… If Tong Ye didn’t remind her, she wouldn’t have noticed that his mark disappeared.
His blood.
Ming Shu could feel her power increasing by stages.
In the past, Fu Yu was fearful of the princes. Now… she felt that she didn’t need to be afraid of them anymore based on her strength.
She was stronger than them now.
Of course, personally, she was never afraid of anything.
Was Su Mian’s blood like Tang Priest’s blood? Was she able to become stronger after drinking it?
Ming Shu walked toward the sofa. There were eyebags under Su Mian’s eyes. He seemed to be having a troubled sleep.
Ming Shu took a thin blanket and placed it on Su Mian. Then, she crossed her legs and sat on the floor.
Su Mian’s eyes fluttered open.
He sat up immediately. “You’re awake?”
“Yes.”
Su Man sized her up. He sounded anxious. “What happened… why did you faint? I didn’t dare to send you to the hospital so I called Tong Ye with your cellphone…”
When she fainted, his mind went blank.
He tried to tell himself that he was worried about her because he needed her.
However, when Tong Ye came and told him that there was nothing wrong with her body, he started to have many different thoughts.
The question that Tong Ye asked him kept flashing through his mind.
Did he like her?
Why?
They were not close and based on his personality, he would not like someone he just met.
Before, he could still tell himself that he needed her.
But now, he knew that she was not the only vampire in the world. Why did he still want to stay beside her?
The only reason he could think of was—he liked her.
He really liked her.
He liked her for no reason.
“I’m fine. I might be having indigestion.” Ming Shu pushed him back onto the sofa. “Continue sleeping.”
“You…”
“Shut up, close your eyes and sleep.”
“…”
Su Mian felt that he needed to calm down. He closed his eyes and lay still. He slowed down his breathing and tried his best to get some rest.
However, he couldn’t. She was beside him. He couldn’t fall asleep.
Su Mian felt something cold on his wrist. Someone was holding his wrist.
It felt unfamiliar but it calmed him.
He turned and opened his eyes. Ming Shu didn’t feel awkward when she noticed that he saw what she was doing. She held it tighter.
Su Mian asked instinctively, “Do you want to join me?”
“Are you inviting me?”
“I think so…” Su Mian almost slapped himself. What the h.e.l.l are you saying?
Ming Shu instantly lifted the blanket and lay beside him.
Su Mian: “…”
Did you accept just like this?
What happened to self-control?
Shameless!
Su Mian was forced to move a bit. At the start, Ming Shu lay beside him. He felt uncomfortable and made to hug Ming Shu instead.
He said, “You haven’t told me why you kiss me yesterday.”
“Ritual,” Ming Shu replied seriously.
“… When you bit Liu Wanyue, you didn’t kiss her!”
“The ritual for males and females is different.” Ming Shu remained calm.
“Oh.” Su Mian smiled. “I thought that you liked me.”
“You are thinking too much. To me, humans are just food.”
“…”
Kill her!
Su Mian didn’t know when he fell asleep. However, he had a good sleep.
Ming Shu waited for him to fall asleep before moving her body. She looked at his neck.
The area where she bit him yesterday was slightly pink.
She smiled. She leaned over and opened her mouth…
The moment her fangs touched his skin, she retracted them. The bite seemed like a kiss.
