Nanjiang No. 1 High School, boys’ dormitory.
The surroundings were pitch black, save for a single spot flickering with the faint glow of a smartphone screen.
Shen Ji lay in bed, pulling his quilt tighter around him.
He stared intently at a confession message sent by a contact named Ye Xi.
“Shen Ji, will you be my boyfriend?”
‘Damn, why is this woman so persistent?’
If such a stroke of luck had happened in his previous life, he would have already started fantasizing about what to name their children.
But as a transmigrator, he possessed the fundamental instincts unique to his kind: the prettier the girl, the more dangerous she was, and the more persistent she was, the more he should avoid her.
Coincidentally, on the day he transmuted, the **[Vampire Hunter System]** appeared just in time to validate his suspicions.
Ye Xi’s true identity was actually that of a dangerous member of the Blood Race.
The good news: At least he was on his guard instead of being completely in the dark.
The bad news: In this world where the Blood Race was a rare species, he seemed to have awakened a useless ability.
Furthermore, ever since he awakened the system, Ye Xi would frequently slip him small notes.
Most of the content involved asking him to meet her in some grove to “talk.”
When he first saw those notes, his first reaction was to stuff the paper into his mouth and pretend it never happened.
As someone who had already died once, his obsession with staying alive was exceptionally firm.
As for Ye Xi’s current behavior, a fact he was most reluctant to face finally stood before him.
She, Ye Xi, was using her status as a member of the Blood Race to try and drain him dry.
After thinking it over, Shen Ji felt that hiding forever was not an option.
He decided to use a tactical retreat to see what she was really up to.
“Ye Xi, what exactly do you like about me? I’ll change, okay?”
“I just like the way you don’t like me.”
“…”
There was a brief silence.
“Stop beating around the bush. I know you’re a member of the Blood Race. Why are you still pretending with me?”
What? Me? Blood Race?
Shen Ji felt his thoughts becoming muddled.
‘Wait, let me get this straight. Am I not a Vampire Hunter? Could there be a hidden usage for this system?’
“When did you find out?”
“Three days ago. You hide your aura well, though. I never noticed it before then.”
Three days ago?
Wasn’t that the exact day he had transmuted?
“Does anyone else know about this?”
“Of course not. After all, we’re the only two of our kind in this school. By the way, your aura is a bit weak. How long has it been since you last drank blood?”
Shen Ji’s heart raced.
Was the test coming already?
“Sigh, the last time I drank blood was… the last time.”
“…”
“Wait there.”
Looking at the last two words flickering on his screen, Shen Ji felt baffled. Was she actually coming to find him?
Shen Ji leaned out and looked toward the window.
A crooked-necked tree stretched its branches right toward his room.
However, looking down, he realized he was on the fourth floor.
How could she possibly get up here?
Shen Ji shook his head and rolled back onto his bed, beginning to organize the information he had gathered over the past three days.
The original owner of this body was a senior in high school.
His only family was a younger sister who had Leukemia.
To earn money for her treatment, he had worked as a long-term Drug Trial Participant.
It was a disastrous start to begin with, and now, he had to play the part of a fellow vampire in front of a real one.
It was getting harder by the second.
Over the last three days, he had tried searching for information online, but most of it was just general talk.
One thing worth mentioning was that while the original owner was working as a Drug Trial Participant in the Black Market, he had heard rumors about the buying and selling of vampires.
The reason wasn’t hard to guess—the decline of one race inevitably led to the oppression of another.
Shen Ji hadn’t cared back then, but now he had a vampire delivered right to his doorstep.
If he could keep Ye Xi steady and then sell her, he could not only save his cheap younger sister but also live a lavish life in this world.
As the saying goes, wealth is found in danger.
Shen Ji could not embarrass the reputation of transmigrators.
A bold plan began to form in his mind.
Shen Ji was deep in thought when he inadvertently turned around, only to lock eyes with a pair of red orbs outside the window.
His heart tightened instantly.
‘Was she not joking when she told me to wait?’
*Gulp.*
The surroundings were so quiet that only Shen Ji’s rapid breathing could be heard.
‘Ye Xi, Sister Ye, I was just thinking about it! I haven’t actually prepared to sell you yet!’
As the crimson eyes slowly approached, cold sweat broke out on Shen Ji’s forehead.
He placed a hand over his chest, trying to soothe his uncontrollable heartbeat.
He comforted himself: ‘Stay calm, don’t be afraid. This world is a society ruled by law. Even if an accident happens, she won’t dare to move against me.’
Just then, the moonlight spilled down.
Shen Ji finally saw clearly that the owner of the crimson eyes was actually a stray cat.
Shen Ji had just breathed a sigh of relief when a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
**[Ding — Vampire Ye Xi detected.]**
His heart, which had just settled, plummeted again.
Shen Ji looked up once more.
The stray cat had already jumped away, leaving behind a human silhouette with a pair of crimson eyes staring at his helpless self.
After noticing his terrified gaze, Ye Xi tilted her head.
With a light leap from the crooked tree, she landed firmly against the window.
Shen Ji glanced at his roommates who were dead to the world.
He crept toward the window and finally saw her face clearly.
She looked completely different from the cold School Beauty usually seen during the day.
Her hair was completely loose, her pointed ears were faintly visible, and paired with those crimson pupils, she possessed a sort of seductive beauty.
Except—Ye Xi’s cheeks were puffed out as if she were holding something in her mouth.
Shen Ji was momentarily stunned.
Seeing that he wasn’t reacting, Ye Xi frowned and tapped on the glass, signaling for him to open it.
Hearing the crisp *thump-thump-thump*, Shen Ji quickly snapped out of it and opened the window.
Ye Xi was barefoot.
She landed on the floor without a sound, wearing a black slip nightgown.
She leaned in close to Shen Ji’s neck and sniffed for a long time.
‘Is she confirming my identity?’
Shen Ji closed his eyes and held his breath, praying silently that he wouldn’t screw this up at the critical moment.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong.
Once the itchy sensation of her hair against his neck vanished, Shen Ji opened his eyes.
He was met head-on by those cold, crimson eyes.
Shen Ji felt goosebumps rising under her stare and quickly lowered his head to look at her slightly dirty feet.
But then he thought, ‘In her eyes, I’m a vampire too. What am I afraid of? When two of the same kind meet, it should be like two old friends reuniting with tears in their eyes.’
Shen Ji composed himself for a moment.
With his most soulful gaze, he looked up and said, “The floor is cold. Can you put on some shoes first?”
Ye Xi rolled her eyes at him and, without a word, pressed her lips against his.
A soft sensation accompanied by a heavy metallic taste of iron rushed toward Shen Ji.
His pupils dilated violently.
At this moment, he only had one thought.
‘Crap! So her telling me to wait was so she could deliver blood to me?’
Shen Ji subconsciously tried to pull back.
Ye Xi naturally wouldn’t give him the chance.
She slid her hands under his arms and firmly gripped the back of his head, transferring the blood from her mouth into his.
Shen Ji was now caught between a rock and a hard place.
If he swallowed it, he couldn’t get past his own mental barrier.
But if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be able to explain why, and he would inevitably expose his secret.
Just then, a startled cry came from behind them.
“Shen Ji, you bastard, let go of the School Beauty!”
