Heartthrob: The vampire princess doesn't want to be a stand-in

Yuri nodded and put the phone on the coffee table. Several people just stared at their phones without blinking.

Liu Yu's father just felt a little embarrassed, and suddenly thought of something and spoke.

"Would you like some tea, my Lords?"

"No need, you are busy with your business."

Yuri refused outright, and several people continued to stare at their phones, not knowing what they could see.

Liu Yu's father was a little embarrassed, but he still got up to boil water and make tea.

"Big brother, what is this?"

Liu Yu's younger brother Liu Tian slowly approached Yuri, pointed at the sword on his waist and asked in a low voice.

"Knight's sword."

Yuri, who was in a trance, was stunned for a moment, took off his sword and placed it across in front of Liu Tian.

"Can I touch it?"

Liu Tian looked at Yuri cautiously, but his bright eyes were eager to move.

Yuri nodded, and after getting permission, Liu Tian carefully placed his hand on the sword and slowly stroked every pattern.

The entire sword is silver in color, made of the hardest Kendoni steel on the Carter continent, and is decorated with ancient totems carved with roses and vines.

Having experienced wars and been bathed in blood for many years, the entire sword has special marks of use, adding a touch of mysterious charm to it.

"Wow! So beautiful."

Liu Tian couldn't help but sigh as he stroked the sword. Such things always had a fatal attraction to him.

After all, he had had a strong interest in weapons and equipment since he was a child, and his goal of becoming a medical researcher like his brother was just influenced by the atmosphere of the whole family.

If he could follow his heart, he would rather become a weapon smith or a real knight.

"Xiao Tian, ​​come here quickly! What are you doing!"

Liu Yu's father, who came out with a cup of tea, panicked when he saw Liu Tian and Yuri walking so close. He immediately pulled Liu Tian back and apologized to Yuri repeatedly.

"Sorry, sir, I'm disturbing you because I'm a child without manners."

"Don't be angry. Don't argue with a child."

"I'm really sorry, he's just too curious!"

"I will definitely teach him a lesson and give him a good beating to calm you down!"

"Okay, it's okay."

Yuri waved his hands irritably at Liu Yu's father. He originally liked this child very much.

But Liu Yu’s father’s reaction was too much.

"Thank you for your generosity, sir. Thank you!"

Liu Yu's father thanked him repeatedly as if he had been pardoned. He then pulled Liu Tian back to the sofa and held him tightly beside him.

"Brother, is it difficult to become a knight?"

Liu Tian rolled his eyes and suddenly asked again.

"you shut up!"

Liu Yu's father covered his little mouth angrily and looked at Yuri with an apologetic smile.

Facing Liu Tian's sincere questioning face, Yuri didn't care about his father's flattery and thought for a long time about how to answer the question.

“It’s going to be hard.”

Finally, Yuri nodded.

“But nothing is easy in this world.”

"Even to become a researcher like your brother, it takes a lot of effort."

After hearing Yuri's next words, the dim light in Liu Tian's eyes brightened.

He has always taken his brother as his role model and been proud of him, but he also hopes that his own little ideal can blossom.

This is also the reason why Yuri did not say anything bad about Liu Yu. Although he looked cold, he had a warm heart.

Be tolerant and patient enough towards children, and be unwilling to destroy a child's faith.

After all, it was his brother who made the mistake, and it had nothing to do with him.

"Then can a commoner like me become a true knight and have my own knight's sword?"

Liu Tian stood up, his brown eyes sparkling and full of longing.

"As long as you can get into a military academy and pass the rigorous training and assessments, there is great hope."

Yuri nodded and explained to Liu Tian in detail how to become a knight.

His father just stared at the two of them communicating harmoniously like friends.

He never knew that his youngest son had such a dream.

He has always taught Liu Tian to take his brother as a role model. His brother is the pride of the entire Liu family. He teaches Liu Tian medicine and saves lives, and makes contributions to the country.

But I have never really listened to Liu Tian's inner voice.

I thought Liu Tian really liked him and that he wanted to be as talented as his brother when he grows up.

Without Liu Tian's mediation, the whole house fell into an eerie silence again.

The clock on the wall ticked mechanically, and the ticking sound made people feel anxious.

The kitchen door was closed, but the aroma of food still slowly overflowed and spread into the living room.

In such an evening, the smell of fireworks made Yuri lose his concentration unconsciously.

Suddenly he felt a buzzing in his head, and after a needle-like pain, a blurry picture appeared in front of his eyes.

It was a midsummer evening not unlike today, and he seemed to see himself sitting and chatting with a few elderly people.

There were bursts of cicadas and frogs chirping outside the window, and when I looked up I could see a busy figure in the small kitchen.

Her figure looked familiar, but her temperament was a little unfamiliar.

Yuri seemed to smell the aroma of food emanating from the kitchen. He stood up, walked around the coffee table, and walked towards the kitchen involuntarily.

He watched his hand slowly reaching for the figure's shoulder, and just as he turned her body around and was about to see her face, the sudden ringing of a cell phone broke this rare tranquility.

"grown ups."

"Sir, it's my son's phone!"

Liu Yu's father's worried voice completely brought Yuri back to his senses. He didn't have time to think more and immediately shifted all his attention back.

"What should I say?"

"Turn on speakerphone, do everything as usual, and try every possible way to lure him out."

Yuri frowned and sat down next to Liu Yu's father, and his mother opened the kitchen door and ran out anxiously when she heard the cell phone ringing.

Liu Yu's father pressed the answer button with trembling hands.

"Hello, is this Ayu?"

After a rustling sound from the other side, Liu Yu's low voice came into his ears.

"Dad, how are you doing over there?"

Liu Yu felt relieved when he heard his father's voice.

"Your mother and I are safe. No suspicious people have come to visit us. How about you?"

"How are you doing, where are you now?"

As he spoke, Liu Yu's father glanced at Yuri, who nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"I'm fine right now, but I can't contact the people above me, so I've been hiding in a safe house."

Liu Yu sighed, his tone somewhat indignant.

The person who instigated him to do these things clearly promised to protect his safety and told him that he did not need to go out because someone would deliver meals to him on time every day.

Now as soon as I got the information, I cut off contact with him.

He always felt as if he was being used.

"Ayu, did you eat well?"
