Chapter 249
Chapter 249
Everyone else appeared to eat calmly, but their eyes secretly watched the scene.
Ji Lin looked up and saw Yun Youyou sneaking peeks like a little mouse, both eyes shining.
Just when everyone thought the Vampire would give up.
He tilted his head again. “Linlin, peel a little shrimpy for me.”
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Yun Youyou choked and began coughing violently.
Ji Lin: …
His grip on his chopsticks tightened.
Veins rose on the back of his pale hand. It was oddly sexy.
When he relaxed his hand, the chopsticks had already snapped.
The four broken pieces fell onto the table.
He turned his head. A storm seemed to rage within his dark brown eyes, yet they were as deathly still as a deep pool.
Ji Lin quietly stared at the Vampire.
“Want a knuckle sandwich?”
“No.”
The Vampire did not care about Ji Lin’s attitude.
If not for the chance to stay with Youyou, he would never have acted spoiled with Ji Lin.
Yun Youyou screamed inwardly: Vampy is incredible!
This was even more exciting than a melodramatic TV show.
She even lowered her head and asked Lu Keke.
“What do you think of those two?”
Lu Keke spoke like a little adult.
“Their style isn’t popular anymore.”
Yun Youyou played along. “Then what style are you going for?”
“I won’t do their domineering-CEO style. I’m going for beautiful, powerful, and tragic. A new ghost auntie told me obsessive types are popular outside now, so I’m going to work in that direction.”
Beside them, Fu Yiming nearly lost control of his expression.
Children these days were incredible.
Yun Youyou seriously offered her opinion.
“That’s a good idea, but…”
She hesitated. “Your little body isn’t suited to the beautiful, powerful, and tragic style.”
Those obsessive types might be skinny, but they were all over six feet tall.
As for Lu Keke…
Imagine this.
The room was dark.
Chains bound Lu Keke’s hands and feet. His chubby face was dark and withdrawn, with a trace of dried blood at his lips.
Then a beautiful young woman pushed open the door.
Her large, beautiful eyes gazed painfully at Lu Keke.
“Keke, you’ve suffered.”
Lu Keke smiled coldly, his feet planted in his enemies’ blood.
“Sis, you’re finally here. I thought you’d never return.”
His dark eyes were black as a deep pool, and the depth of longing in his gaze sent a chill down her spine.
Crying, the beautiful young woman unlocked his chains.
Lu Keke wiped the blood from his lips with a cold expression.
“Sis, why are you crying?”
“I gave you a chance to escape. This time, I won’t let you run again.”
Lu Keke possessively hugged the young woman’s knee, his deep devotion bordering on obsession.
The young woman crouched and tearfully gathered Lu Keke into her arms.
“You’ve suffered.”
Lu Keke was lifted into the air.
At only knee height, he could finally see her face clearly.
He scoffed coldly.
“You still cry so easily. With me around, you’re not allowed to cry anymore!”
The young woman grew tired from holding a child for too long.
So she put Lu Keke back on the floor.
“We should hurry and escape.”
Lu Keke strode ahead with imperious confidence.
He spotted a book on the dark corridor floor.
When he opened it, he found strange symbols inside.
Lu Keke flipped through the pages, then handed it to the young woman.
He had only learned phonics and could not yet read complicated words.
The young woman said, “It’s a copy of Grimm’s Fairy Tales.”
Lu Keke narrowed his eyes.
“This is definitely no ordinary copy of Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Bring it back. I’ll study it carefully tonight.”
The young woman obediently put the book away.
Tonight’s bedtime story would be Grimm’s Fairy Tales.
The two continued down the dark corridor.
After an unknown distance, small toys began appearing on the floor.
Teddy bears, race cars, and puzzles lay scattered everywhere as if they cost nothing.
Lu Keke smiled coldly and stretched out one short arm to shield the young woman behind him.
“Careful. They’re all traps.”
Cold and mature, he had long outgrown such childish toys.
The young woman murmured agreement and hid fearfully behind him.
They took a few more steps.
Customized Ultraman cards suddenly appeared on the floor.
Biting his lower lip, Lu Keke solemnly walked around them.
He was a mature man now.
They took a few more steps.
The cards vanished, replaced by a limited-edition Ultraman Tiga figure.
Not only was the figure as tall as Lu Keke, but every joint could move, and it even lit up.
Almost entranced, Lu Keke walked toward it.
The young woman’s desperate calls could not move him.
Even an obsessive man could not resist an Ultraman whose eyes lit up.
End of fantasy.
Yun Youyou lowered her head and looked at Lu Keke.
“I think cute and cuddly suits you better. Your height limits your options.”
Lu Keke waved his chubby hand with innocent cheer.
“But I can recite Ultraman’s entire family tree. I’m sure someone will recognize how wonderful I am.”
Yun Youyou: …
This child should not seek his future on Earth. He should go to the M78 Nebula.
Yun Youyou pulled herself from her thoughts.
Ji Lin and the Vampire were still staring at each other.
Yun Youyou sighed. “Is this the legendary moment when one glance lasts ten thousand years?”
Ji Lin and the Vampire: …
They immediately looked away.
Goose bumps rose on both their arms.
Their gazes held disgust.
Who wanted to share a ten-thousand-year glance with this man?
They thought the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, Ji Lin wiped his hands with a towel and began peeling a prawn.
The Vampire did not react at first.
Once he did, he thought: The book was right after all.
Ji Lin quickly finished peeling one.
The Vampire waited demurely for it to arrive in his bowl.
Instead, Ji Lin did not even glance at him. He placed the prawn directly in Yun Youyou’s bowl.
Yun Youyou: ?
Yun Youyou stared blankly at the prawn that had suddenly appeared.
Once she recovered, she said calmly, “What a good daughter-in-law. You even know to honor your mother-in-law.”
Ji Lin: …
His face darkened, and he reached out with his chopsticks to take the prawn back.
Yun Youyou reacted faster. She immediately stuffed it into her mouth and bobbed her head smugly.
Sometimes, this ghost really did ask for a beating.
Watching her sway her head, Ji Lin laughed with unreadable meaning.
Seeing “Yun Youyou” peel a prawn only for “Ji Lin,” Su Gou immediately pouted in displeasure.
“No. You can’t peel them only for him. I want one too.”
Ji Lin gave him an aloof glance and ignored him.
Being ignored hurt Su Gou.
But he did not want anyone laughing at him.
“Forget it. I don’t like prawns anyway.”
Su Gou stubbornly added, “I’ll peel one for you instead.”
Ji Lin gave him another look but still refused coldly.
“No need.”
If Ji Lin were a woman, he might have felt sorry for Su Gou.
Unfortunately, Ji Lin was a hard-hearted man.
Su Gou’s passionate devotion was destined to go nowhere!
