Chapter 191
Before leaving, Shen Mingzhen deliberately approached the Second Young Master and asked with a wicked grin, “Oil Field, need to use the bathroom?”
The living oil field glared furiously at Shen Mingzhen.
Shen Mingzhen did not care. He whistled and strolled away with flair.
The others gradually finished eating and left as well.
Only Yun Youyou, the Vampire, and the Second Young Master remained at the table.
Afraid of being poisoned, Yun Youyou always waited until everyone else finished before eating.
The Vampire stayed to wait for her.
The Second Young Master swallowed his anger.
Losing patience over a small matter could destroy a greater plan.
To seize the inheritance and complete his Instance task, he needed to endure.
“If you can be with this pretty boy, why can’t you try being with me?”
Yun Youyou was in the middle of eating when the Second Young Master suddenly spoke.
She did not hesitate for a second. “No. We can’t be together.”
The Second Young Master was confused. “Why?”
Yun Youyou said, “Because women are made of water.”
He still did not understand. “So?”
Yun Youyou pointed first at herself, then at him.
“Oil and water don’t mix. That’s why we can’t be together.”
The Second Young Master: “…”
When he finally understood, he nearly vomited blood from rage.
He shot to his feet and shouted, “So what if I’m oily? Do you know how expensive oil is now?”
Then he suddenly ran into the kitchen, retrieved a bottle of olive oil, and placed it before Yun Youyou.
Yun Youyou: “?”
The Second Young Master said, “A little oil for you. No need to thank me.”
Yun Youyou said, “…Thank you, future oil tycoon.”
The Butler came downstairs and passed the Second Young Master.
He immediately spotted the olive oil on the table and looked confused.
“Who brought this out?”
The Butler glanced at Yun Youyou, who sat closest to the bottle.
She calmly replied, “The future oil tycoon.”
The Butler: “?”
What new fit had possessed Madam now?
Wisely, the Butler asked no further questions. He picked up the bottle and returned it to the kitchen.
Yun Youyou continued eating.
The Vampire rested his chin on one hand and watched her, his slightly lowered eyes appearing languid.
He raised his gaze, thick lashes trembling softly. “Actually, I have a little oil too.”
Yun Youyou took a sip of soup without paying attention.
“What oil?”
“Olive you.”
Pfft!
Yun Youyou sprayed out a mouthful of soup, half of it landing on the Vampire.
“Cough, cough…”
She could not stop coughing.
Seeing her like this, the Vampire sprang to his feet in helpless panic, like a child who had done something wrong.
Yun Youyou pulled out a tissue.
“Cough… Where did you learn that?”
Where had the innocent Vampire gone?
How was even a pure Vampire becoming greasy?
The Vampire looked at her uncertainly. “You don’t like it?”
Yun Youyou said, “Of course I cough… don’t like it!”
Who could enjoy such a greasy pickup line?
The Vampire paused. “But human men do this. I thought women liked it.”
Yun Youyou shook her head at him.
“My child, you’ve been deceived.”
The Vampire frowned. “Then what should I do?”
Yun Youyou said, “That face is all you need. Just speak less.”
Silent, he was a beautiful, aloof man weary of the world. The instant he opened his mouth and said, “Olive you,” the contrast was unbearable.
Yun Youyou went upstairs to deal with her soup-stained clothes.
The Vampire remained at the table.
After a while, Shen Mingzhen came down for water and casually pulled out the chair beside him.
“What’s wrong? Bad mood?”
Once he quenched his thirst, Shen Mingzhen glanced at the Vampire and asked without much thought.
The Vampire happened to have a problem troubling him.
At least he and Shen Mingzhen had met once before. That was better than asking a complete stranger.
“Do women like direct language?”
Shen Mingzhen had not expected such a question. His brows rose in surprise.
He had little romantic experience himself, but surely he knew more than a Vampire who spent every day lying in a coffin.
“That depends on what you’re saying.”
The deliberately profound answer only made the Vampire frown harder.
How was that different from saying nothing?
Still, he needed advice, so he patiently asked, “Can you give me an example?”
Shen Mingzhen’s expression stiffened as he racked his mind.
“For example… when you’re shopping, say, ‘Buy all of it.’ Anyone would love hearing that, man or woman. Even I’d love it.”
The Vampire nodded. “What would they dislike?”
Shen Mingzhen said, “Suppose your girlfriend works hard to cook dinner, and you tell her it tastes awful. Forget your girlfriend. Even I’d want to slap you.”
The Vampire found the lesson highly educational.
“I understand. Thank you.”
Afraid of leading him astray, Shen Mingzhen immediately added, “Of course, that’s only my opinion. You need to adapt to the situation and improvise!”
The Vampire kept walking. “All right. I understand.”
Enlightenment had struck him.
Shen Mingzhen watched his back with doubt.
Had the Vampire truly understood, or was he pretending?
At dinner, Shen Mingzhen watched him constantly.
The Vampire remained as quiet as ever. He spoke to no one else and only exchanged an occasional word with Yun Youyou.
Seeing that, Shen Mingzhen finally relaxed a little.
When no one was watching, he even slipped beside the Vampire and whispered a reminder. “Watch more romance movies in your spare time. You’ll understand naturally.”
The Vampire accepted his kindness.
Yun Youyou stared suspiciously at the two men pressed close together.
They normally never spoke. Why were they suddenly so intimate today?
They stood so close they were almost kissing. What were they doing?
Once everyone finished dinner and left, the Butler immediately turned off every downstairs light.
Shen Mingzhen had noticed that the Butler was exceptionally environmentally conscious.
The moment a room emptied, he switched off its lights without wasting a single unit of electricity.
What an admirable, resource-saving Butler.
As usual, the Vampire said good night to Yun Youyou before returning to his room.
Tonight, instead of immediately lying down and closing his eyes, he switched on the projector he had never used.
His first attempt was clumsy. It took a long time to align the image on the white screen.
He opened the search box and entered: One Pregnancy, 18 Babies: What Happened Between Yama and Me in the Eighteenth Level of Hell.
The movie had a rating of only 4.5, yet the comments below all claimed it was excellent.
The Vampire fell into confusion.
Was it good or not?
