Volume 2: The Morning Star
Prologue (Volume 2)
A desolate, abandoned city, where the [Beyond] had left its scars, and dark beastly shadows roamed the ravaged land.
A doomsday-like curse had fallen upon this place, where night represented despair and death.
A world that existed not just in legends, where time stood still, and life was extinguished. The minute hand of Big Ben on the clock tower was the only beating heart in this silent city.
A black-clad girl, stripped of her memories, wandered alone like a grim reaper with a scythe across this unclaimed land. She looked up at the pitch-black night sky, yearning for the never-before-seen morning star above.
The demon-slaying girl, hoping for the starlight to save her, perhaps awaited its appearance…
…Ruo Xiaoxi, lying bewildered amidst discarded debris, stared at the cold iron rod pointed directly at her. She felt an unknown hostility from the unfamiliar girl in black. By some strange twist of fate, she had arrived in this prison-like world.
Looking at the scene, so utterly different from the city she knew, she wondered if her first adventure as a vampire was about to truly begin, unprepared…
“Mmm, this beautiful older sister in black, who kicks and fights well, seems particularly difficult to get along with…”
Ruo Xiaoxi pondered, seriously considering how she, as a vampire, would survive this adventure. Suddenly, a fleeting figure caught her eye, and she blurted out, “Wow, such beautiful long legs, Senior, kick me!!”
Chapter 100: If You Like Me, Come Chase Me~
After military training, new students faced the bustling club recruitment activities.
During military training, many new students had already browsed information about various clubs, chosen their favorites, and some club presidents even came to the classrooms to promote and recruit.
From this day on, the school’s sports field would be filled with various clubs, setting up tables in two rows, hanging colorful flags to display their club’s characteristics, attracting incoming freshmen.
It was said that the annual club recruitment was like a small school festival, its liveliness comparable to a market.
Under the shade of a tree in front of the convenience store, Ruo Xiaoxi held two cups of milk tea. She handed one to the senior, and the two beautiful girls sat face to face at a table.
“Phew, the weather is still a bit hot.” Ruo Xiaoxi fanned herself with her small hand.
“Mmm. Junior Xiaoxi, all the major clubs are recruiting today. Why aren’t you recruiting? Do you have time to treat me to milk tea?” Yin Huixue adjusted her straw and took a small sip.
Ruo Xiaoxi sighed softly, enviously glancing at the bustling sports field in the distance. “I came to find you for this very reason, Senior. Look, I’ve even bought you milk tea, you have to help me.”
“What’s wrong? Did you run into trouble?”
“Same old. I wanted to recruit people today, but I haven’t even established a club yet, and there’s no table or space for me to put up a promotional stand.”
“Then establish the club first before recruiting people?”
“If I could establish the club, I wouldn’t need to recruit people! Right now, I can’t even gather the initial five members needed to establish a club, but without a club, I can’t participate in recruitment activities.”
“So that’s it, a vicious cycle?”
“Yes, waah… What about you, Senior? You said you’d help me ask last time?”
Yin Huixue shook her head slightly. “I asked a few juniors I know, and they all seem to have joined clubs already. I can’t help either. Can’t you get your dormmates or something?”
Ruo Xiaoxi had asked Xiaomei and An’an, but they had already decided which clubs to join. Ruo Xiaoxi didn’t feel right trying to poach them.
“They… all have their own interests, and Xiaonuo will establish a club with me.”
“Sigh, I’m sorry, you came to find me specifically today, and I really can’t offer any solutions—wait, hmm…” Yin Huixue suddenly furrowed her brows, recalling something.
“What’s wrong? Is there a way?”
“I remember there are quite a few conditions for establishing a club. You only need to meet one.”
“What?! There are other conditions?” Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyes lit up.
“Mmm, but the other conditions seem even stricter. I remember one rule: if a club’s activities can already operate with its own club funds, then even one or two people are enough.”
“Club funds… what does that mean?”
“You should ask Senior Xia Zhibai about that. She’s the student council president and handles those matters. She knows more than I do.” Yin Huixue poked her straw, looking back. Xia Zhibai should have been here earlier.
“Thank you, Senior, this might be very helpful!” Ruo Xiaoxi pondered, about to stand up, but suddenly noticed Yin Huixue smiling at her neck.
The senior’s meaningful gaze seemed to have something to say.
“Ahem… Senior, your gaze is quite… explicit.”
Ruo Xiaoxi tugged at her collar, trying to cover the hickey on her neck. She probably knew why the senior was staring at her neck.
When she woke up that morning and looked in the mirror, she noticed the hickey hadn’t completely faded, leaving a faint pink mark. For a moment, she didn’t want to go to school.
How am I supposed to face people like this? Who did this?! Senior Xia or Xiaonuo?! So embarrassing!
“Little junior, I’m curious, whose bed did you end up sleeping in last weekend?” Yin Huixue crossed her arms, a smile appearing on her face.
“What… what do you mean, ‘whose bed’? I don’t understand! And can’t we just… together…?”
“Hmm?” Yin Huixue’s clear eyes showed a hint of surprise. “Together?”
“Nothing! I don’t want you to interfere, Senior!” Ruo Xiaoxi blushed and quickly shook her head, crossing her small hands over her chest, leaning back in her chair, and unhappily swinging her dangling feet.
She didn’t help me when I was in trouble, she just added fuel to the fire and watched the show! So mean!
“How nice. I also want to taste this sweet and delicious rice.” Yin Huixue said in a teasing tone, but the little junior was so pretty and cute. Sometimes she really envied Xia Zhibai for having such a soft and adorable girl by her side.
“Are you talking about me? Hmph, Senior, you wish.” Ruo Xiaoxi showed off her fair and rosy face, adopting an expression that said, ‘Do you think I’m cheap?’
Hmm, come to think of it… Senior Yin did say she was a little interested in me, didn’t she?
Looking at Yin Huixue’s longing, envious gaze, Ruo Xiaoxi’s thoughts turned mischievous. Little devil horns seemed to sprout from her head, and the corners of her mouth curled into a sly smile.
Heh heh, for the next meal ticket, maybe I’ll just…
She was also a little tired of always being the one to flirt with older girls.
“However, if Senior likes me…” Ruo Xiaoxi stood up, leaned close to Yin Huixue.
She whispered in her ear, like ASMR, “Then come chase me. If you catch me, I’ll let you taste my sweet flavor~”
“Eek!?” This ambiguous, soft whisper in her ear, Ruo Xiaoxi’s clear, nightingale-like voice lingered, like a soft cotton swab brushing against her ear, both comfortable and unbearable.
Yin Huixue felt her entire body go limp as if struck by an electric current, involuntarily shivering. Her crossed legs under the table immediately separated, and she stomped her feet on the ground with a thud.
“Ruo Xiaoxi, you…!”
“Senior Xia! Hi, I’m over here.”
But before Yin Huixue could finish, she turned to see Xia Zhibai approaching. Ruo Xiaoxi, having just finished flirting with the senior, immediately put on an innocent face and enthusiastically greeted Senior Xia with a cheerful smile.
It was all part of her plan. She had seen Xia Zhibai, so she stood up, deliberately flirted, and then ran off.
Yin Huixue’s stirred heart had no outlet for its burning desire. Her slender, fair hands had nowhere to go. She felt restless, wanting to stand up and chase after this little tease, Ruo Xiaoxi, but could only sit down obediently.
Xia Zhibai! Can you please control your little green tea? Tell her to stop flirting with everyone!
“Hmm? I was looking for you too. I was about to take you to the club recruitment area. Where were you just now?” Xia Zhibai hugged Ruo Xiaoxi, asking her in a doting voice.
“Oh, oh, I was just chatting with Senior Xue. I wanted to ask you about club funding.”
“Is that so? I do manage that area. Shall we talk as we walk?”
“Mmm, okay.” Ruo Xiaoxi nodded obediently.
She held Senior Xia’s hand, not forgetting to secretly turn her head and glance at Yin Huixue, who was sitting under the distant shade of the tree. She mischievously winked, finally blowing a cute, alluring kiss.
“Hehe, bye-bye, Senior Xue~” Ruo Xiaoxi mouthed silently to her.
Combined with seeing Ruo Xiaoxi’s pitiful look as she embraced Xia Zhibai, and Xia Zhibai’s familiar and natural way of wrapping her arms around Ruo Xiaoxi’s waist, Yin Huixue’s eyes widened, filled with envy.
She felt her throat burning, constantly swallowing. Her fingers tightly gripped the armrest of the chair, her shoe soles almost worn through, her chest heaving with agitation.
The girl whose heart had been stirred was both angry and annoyed, wanting nothing more than to taste this little green tea from head to toe! But she was also elusive, not easily touched, leaving Yin Huixue to watch her slender, white-stockinged legs intertwine and walk away, longing for her.
“So annoying! She’s seducing me! She’s seducing me!” The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Finally, Yin Huixue decided she would just imagine Ruo Xiaoxi as her… “side dish” tonight.
