Holding the script, I want to give up.

As the saying goes, "A walk after a meal will help you live to ninety-nine." After finishing her meal, Ziyu took them for a walk in the backyard garden.

"And who are you, this fallen nobleman? Do you need me to help you get revenge?"

Ziyu noticed his refined and otherworldly demeanor, guessing that some powerful family was fighting over inheritance and had driven him, a man who couldn't even kill a chicken, out of the house.

"I don't need your help. I don't ask for much. I'm just glad I'm alive."

"I have no intention of revenge; you're just making wild guesses."

Bai Li smiled calmly at her.

"Oh, okay, if you want, then stay. One more person won't make a difference anyway."

Tzuyu was a little dazed looking at his smile.

Aren't you curious about me?

Bai Li suddenly stepped in front of her to block the light for her.

"I'll listen if you tell me, and I won't ask if you don't."

Ziyu narrowed her eyes, no longer looking at him, but instead looking at the distant twilight.

"...Well, my parents' marriage was a political one; there was no love between them."

"Therefore, the people in the clan do not like me."

"Because I am the eldest son, I have the greatest right to inherit. Even if I don't fight for it, the others will..."

"As you saw that day, I... didn't want to live at that time, it was too depressing..."

"At the time, I thought it was because of my special blood type..."

Bai Li said self-deprecatingly.

"...Um...sorry, my nose is malfunctioning, I can't smell anything special..."

"At the time, I just felt sorry for you and took pity on you."

Ziyu had no choice but to explain helplessly.

"You... have you only ever drunk my blood?"

An unreadable emotion flashed in Bai Li's eyes.

"...Yes, I'm a vegetarian."

"Animal blood is more cost-effective."

"Why don't you come with us?"

Ziyu smiled faintly. Actually, she felt that she was not much different from humans, and drinking their blood always made her feel guilty and afraid!

Besides, how could those humans let them drink their blood for no reason? She couldn't bring herself to kill them. So, she had no choice but to become a vegetarian.

"okay."

Bai Li had a smile playing on his lips. Zi Yu didn't know what he was laughing at and found it inexplicable. It was just about bloodsucking! What was so funny?

"I'm too tired lately, I'm going back to the cemetery. Take care of yourself!"

"Please help me protect Youyou."

After Ziyu finished speaking, she walked towards Mu with sleepy eyes. Bai Li did not respond to her, but instead circled around and followed behind her.

"Hey—did you hear what I said?! Help me with this, and I'll give you a super awesome present when I get out!"

Seeing that they were almost there, Ziyu turned around and stopped him, saying that she was really worried if he didn't agree! After all, she might be asleep for several years and wouldn't be able to take care of Youyou, while he was her first embracer and would definitely be able to protect Youyou.

She wouldn't be able to fall asleep if he didn't agree. She looked at him with expectant yet slightly pleading eyes.

"Yes, I heard you. Go ahead."

Bai Li smiled faintly, and before watching her enter the coffin, he pulled her back and gently hugged her.

Ziyu was stunned for a moment, but did not hug him back. She only left him with the words, "Wait for me." After he let go, she turned around without hesitation and stepped into the coffin.

......

Three years later, Bai Li did not return to his family. Instead, he staged a car accident to obtain a death certificate, bidding farewell to his former self... Yi Wanrong then remained in the castle, tending to her flowers...

"How boring! When will my king wake up?!"

Youyou sprinkled water on the flowers in the garden intermittently. Bai Li, on the other hand, pruned the branches and leaves, cutting off the flowers with a long blooming period and placing them in a flower basket and vase.

"It'll be soon, I can sense her."

Bai Li brought the bouquet from the basket back to the living room and carefully tended to it in a vase.

The coffins in the cemetery seemed to have shallow cracks, which, though not obvious, indicated that the coffins were about to break apart.

"Hmm... I wonder how long I've been asleep. Are they still there?"

Ziyu, as if resurrected from the dead, sat bolt upright in her sleep! She got up and flew towards the front yard.

"king!"

The moment Youyou saw Ziyu, she was so excited she couldn't speak. She ran to her and hugged her tightly, as if afraid it was all a dream.

Tzuyu hugged her back and patted her back gently with one hand to comfort her.

"I'm back. How are you all?"

"Are there any other vampires causing trouble?"

Ziyu glanced at the person arranging flowers in the hall. Why wasn't he coming to pick her up? And why was he so calm?

"We are fine, no."

Youyou quickly answered her question and pulled her directly into the hall.

"Bai Li...at your home?"

Ziyu wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to ask so obviously, for fear of hurting his feelings.

"Bai Li doesn't exist anymore!"

Bai Li smiled mischievously at her and even winked at her! Ziyu rubbed her eyes in disbelief, indicating that she hadn't seen wrong. How could things have changed so much?

"How long did I sleep?"

"So what's your name now?"

Ziyu felt she had only slept for three months at most, and didn't think she had slept for a long time. She sat on the sofa with her legs crossed and asked calmly.

"Three years."

"Bai Li".

The boy walked over and sat down beside her, handing her a red camellia.

"Hey Bai Li, don't come near me! I need to take a shower first!"

You wouldn't believe it until you hear it. Ziyu jumped up from the sofa and ran to the bathroom. She didn't even have time to think about the boy's new name or the flowers anymore.

The boy stared blankly at the flowers in his hand, realizing he hadn't given them away yet! He chuckled to himself, casually tossing the flowers into the vase without caring whether it ruined their original beauty.

Youyou watched this scene and fell into deep thought. As an outsider, she had a clearer perspective, but she didn't know whether she should tell Wang or not.

"It feels like I haven't eaten in ages! Youyou, the food you made today is especially delicious! Or is it because it's my first meal since I came out of the coffin?"

Tzuyu's expression turned joyful as she ate, looking like she was thoroughly enjoying herself.

"Cough...cough...Your Majesty, this was made by Bai Li."

Youyou felt a little embarrassed, which meant she was slacking off.

"Wow~ They really are hiding their true abilities!"

Ziyu sighed but didn't ask any further questions, continuing to eat. Baili, standing to the side, however, had a darkening look in his eyes.
