Ever since I saw her that day, my heart has no longer belonged to me. Her silver-white hair was like chains locking up my soul. Her radiant smile was like the winter sun. Her sweet voice plucked at my heartstrings. For the past three days, her figure has filled my mind every second of every moment. Every night, she came to me in my dreams and tangled with me in endless intimacy. God, if you’d just let me see her one more time, I’d die right now for it!

“Hello, I’d like two scallion pancakes and two cups of soy milk.”

God, pretend I never said that!

The young guy at the scallion pancake stall looked up. The girl he’d been dreaming about day and night was now standing right outside. Today, she wasn’t wrapped in that thick black coat anymore. Instead, she was wearing a lively light-blue tracksuit, making her youthful sweetness stand out even more.

Her sugary voice brushed gently across his heart. He stared at those soft, delicate pink lips, and his chest gave a sudden throb.

“Um, I’d like two scallion pancakes and two cups of soy milk.” Su Yue tilted her head and repeated herself. A trace of confusion showed on her face, cute and pure.

In truth, she was laughing like crazy inside. “Hahahaha, little virgin, you froze up the second you saw me. Don’t tell me you’ve been lovesick over me these past few days~”

This proved that when Su Yue was dealing with anyone other than Chen Yan, her game was still top-tier.

“Oh, right, okay. Please wait a moment.” Only after hearing Su Yue repeat herself did the stall guy snap back to reality. He hurriedly started packing everything up.

“Here you go.” He awkwardly handed the plastic bag to the beautiful girl in front of him. “That’ll be sixteen yuan total. Little sis, did you bring money today?”

“Thank you~” Su Yue took the bag and said sweetly, “I did. Add in what I owed from last time too.”

She pulled out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it over. When the stall guy reached for it, his hand stretched a little too far forward.

“Ahhh, I touched her fingertip! I’m never washing this hand again in my life!” the stall guy screamed internally.

Su Yue, meanwhile, kept a fake smile on her face. Without drawing attention, she hid the hand whose fingertip had been touched behind her back and wiped it against her clothes in disgust.

“Um, little sis, I can’t make change for this.” The stall guy barely suppressed his excitement and said, “How about I don’t charge you this time either? You can just pay next time you come.”

“That way she’ll definitely come again!” Still the stall guy’s inner monologue.

“Huh? You run a shop and don’t have change?” Su Yue asked in surprise, apparently forgetting that her own little shop didn’t have change either.

“People usually pay by phone now. The shop does have some cash left, but not enough to break a bill this big.” The stall guy explained awkwardly, “Of course, little sis, you can also pay by phone.”

“Oh, okay. I don’t have a phone...” Su Yue looked a little troubled, thinking maybe she should just put it on credit again today.

“I’ll pay.” Chen Yan appeared from behind Su Yue and scanned the QR code with his phone.

“Sixteen yuan received.” The mechanical female voice rang out.

“There, the money’s been sent. Give Su Yue her cash back.” Chen Yan showed the payment success screen on his phone and spoke to the stall guy.

“Hey, who asked you to pay for me?” Su Yue looked up at Chen Yan in dissatisfaction. She was supposed to be the one treating him this time.

“You can pay me back later when you have change.” Chen Yan smiled gently and raised a hand, wanting to pat Su Yue on the head, only for her to swat it away with a pout.

By now, the stall guy had completely turned to stone. He understood that a non-human race without a master almost never appeared in a human city. But he had never wanted to think about what kind of interactions there would be between the silver-haired Vampire Princess who had stolen his soul at first sight and her master. He couldn’t help imagining that the cute silver-haired Vampire Princess was actually a stray, ownerless vampire who had somehow wandered into the human city by accident, then developed feelings for him after accepting his scallion pancakes, and then...

But Chen Yan’s appearance dragged him back to reality and shattered his fantasy completely.

“Tch, fine. You can cover it for now. Big brother, could you give my money back?” In front of other people, Su Yue didn’t want to argue with Chen Yan. She still had an image to maintain, after all.

“Mm? Ah, right, sorry.” The stall guy was jolted awake by Su Yue’s syrupy voice. He dug through the register, pulled out a crisp new hundred-yuan bill, and handed it to her. “So your name is Su Yue, little sis. Your bill is kind of old, so big brother will trade you this new one instead.”

“Mhm, thank you, big brother.” Su Yue tilted her head and happily accepted the crisp new hundred. Her voice was so cloyingly sweet and fake that Chen Yan, standing beside her, got goosebumps all over. He’d really never seen this side of Su Yue before. It was honestly creepy.

As if sensing his gaze, Su Yue turned back and glared at him. She raised one finger and waved it, carrying a clear threat: say one extra word and I’ll kill you.

Chen Yan quickly waved both hands, showing he wouldn’t say a thing.

“Ah, I may not understand what they’re doing, but this must be some loving interaction between a master and his adorable Vampire Princess. Damn it, damn it, I’m so jealous!” The stall guy watched Su Yue and Chen Yan’s strange gestures and filled in the blanks himself.

“Well then, big brother, we’re leaving now.” Su Yue turned back around, and that innocent, adorable smile returned to her face.

“Mm, yeah, take care, little sis. Come again next time.” The stall guy’s heart was pounding wildly. By now, he had already thought up a hundred different NTR plots.

After saying that, Su Yue turned and left, with Chen Yan following right behind her. But as he was leaving, he cast the stall guy a meaningful glance. His pitch-black pupils were like endless dark whirlpools, instantly crushing every dangerous thought in the man’s head and making him shudder all over.

Of course, Miss Su Yue didn’t notice that little detail. She took out the crisp new hundred-yuan bill, held it up in front of her eyes, and said with a bit of disgust, “What do you mean, trading me for a new one? He obviously just wanted to keep the money I touched. Ugh, so gross.”

“If he grosses you out, why were you so gentle with him?” Chen Yan asked with a laugh after hearing Su Yue’s complaint.

“Hmph, what do you know? It’s called staying in character, okay? I’m protecting the beautiful fantasies in every young little virgin’s heart.” Su Yue spoke earnestly. She used to be a hardcore shut-in herself, the kind who didn’t even dare look girls in the face, so she knew exactly how fragile people like that were when dealing with the opposite sex.

If you didn’t handle them carefully, they might just snap and turn into some dangerous weirdo.

“I’m a young little virgin too. Why don’t you protect the beautiful fantasies in my heart?” Chen Yan successfully caught the key point in Su Yue’s words.

“You? I’ll believe the virgin part is real, sure, but what’s with the ‘young,’ old man?” Su Yue turned around, walking backward as she poked Chen Yan’s arm with a finger.

“I’m only twenty-four...” Chen Yan felt the need to defend his age a little.

“Not listening, not listening, turtle chanting scriptures. Old man, old man, old man!” Su Yue covered her ears, turned around, and ran off laughing.

“Honestly, does this count as her acting spoiled with me?” Chen Yan watched Su Yue run off happily, shook his head, and said with a gentle smile.

Of course not.

Miss Su Yue was just getting revenge for being called “auntie” by an elementary school kid this morning.
