“Bloodfang!” The young man’s eyes were wide in shock.
It’s a conical tooth that is much longer than a normal tooth. It clearly doesn’t belong to a normal human being and if you observed it closely, it looked more like the canine teeth of some large carnivore beast.
According to the book, each Bloodling has a pair of fangs called bloodfangs. They use their long, pointed and hollowed teeth as their feeding tools to draw their main sustenance, “blood”.
“Not bad. You know about bloodfangs.” Xia Yuzhou had hooked the kid at last and sat back on the chair.
“Are you a Bloodling? No, you’re indeed a Bloodling!” The young man rushed to Xia Yuzhou incoherently, looking at him left and right, as if he had found a dragon along with its big gold nest. He held the two short hands and was at a loss for a while.
The child’s exuberant appearance greatly pleased Xia Yuzhou. This was the first person to become so happy when they found out he was a vampire. Hm. That’s how it should be. Bloodlings are so precious that it deserves the treatment of a giant panda.1
However, the excited human seem to not know how to “act in a civilized manner to spectate a ghost”.2 As an overly excited little hand suddenly touched the bloodfang that was hooked on his lower lip, “Can I touch that tooth?”
The smile on the corners of Xia Yuzhou’s lips froze instantly, and instinctively reacted with a crisp 'slap.” When he recovered, the giddy young man had been slapped down by him and fell severely on the hospital bed, unable to move.
“Oops.” Xia Yu Zhou rushed to check.
The extensive aggressive drug treatment had hollowed out his young body. Chen Mo tried hard to stick up his neck to get up but he can’t even breathe properly. He’s like a flipped over little turtle as he wriggled his limbs in vain.
Xia Yuzhou knelt one knee on the bed, grabbed and adjusted the child’s posture. He pressed and kneaded with a natural and unforced3 motion over and over again, before the child could finally breathe easily.4
“Cough, cough, cough…You’re really a doctor. The doctor in the emergency operation department had also done this.”
“Ah.” Xia Yu Zhou felt very uncomfortable when he heard his words. He took out a mint gum and threw it into his mouth as preparation for the biting.
The young man suddenly got up, his appearance quite different from his previous situation, “I thought you were fooling around! This was easy!”
Xia Yuzhou squinted at him, “What is easy?”
The teenager replied, “First Embrace, didn’t you just ask me if I want to join the God of Darkness? I am willing, I am especially willing! But I will be cured after the First Embrace, and it will arouse people’s suspicion.”
Xia Yuzhou’s head hurts, where is the god of darkness?
The young man didn’t feel that he was wrong at all. He was still gushing, “Transfer me to your department, just say that I was misdiagnosed before. Then you can cure me naturally and it won’t be suspicious.”
Xia Yuzhou, “It makes sense.”
Young man: “What department are you in?”
“Dentistry.”
“……”
He pulled the curtains and closed the door.
Xia Yuzhou spat out the chewing gum, held down the over-excited child, and stroked his neck in the posture of eating sugar cane, “Risk notification, it’s also my first time to turn someone. Biting your neck may cause your artery to rupture and lead you to instant death. To the Bloodling’s history, there were 72 sequelae that can be counted till present. Of course, it’s better compared with your half dead state. Do you have anything else to ask?”
“Are vampires immortal?” It was only after lying down that the young man finally thought of some basic problems.
“No,” he said.
“Can I become a bat on the night of the full moon?”
“No,”
“Can it add points to the college entrance exam?”5
Xia Yuzhou silently raised his head and palm in a slapping position.
“Okay, I see.” the young man shrunk back. “You6 just can’t be nice to your soon to be kind.“
Nice? Xia Yuzhou sneered and grasped the young man’s pale and slender neck, then slowly moved to his ear. He said in a low voice, “Boy, I think you might have misunderstood. Kids should be civilized and polite. You address me as if we’re some kind of friends.”
The danger of being choked to death made the young man shudder, and the blood that had just circulated instantly condensed into ice that froze him from head to toe. Sure enough, this evil vampire doesn’t have good intentions. But this is his only hope to survive, even if he had to sell his soul. He stubbornly glared at Xia Yuzhou and said, “What should I call you then? My lord? Benefactor? Or master?”
Xia Yuzhou opened his mouth and it exposed his hollow tooth tip as he said, “Listen boy, after the First Embrace, I am your Father!”7
“Father is Dad… Huh?”8
As a Bloodling, the concept of this First Embrace for Xia Yuzhou was akin to siring his oldest son. In his twenties no less, not to mention a freshly delivered 16 years old son.
“What are you doing?”
A voice that shouldn’t have appeared at this moment rang at the door like an alarm, causing both father and son in the room to freeze.
Xia Yuzhou had thought about the scene of his reunion with Si Jun many times.
At that time, he was already a world-famous dentist that even foreign presidents knelt down to, begging him to fix their teeth. And Si Jun, a young doctor who had just passed his training, made a meager income to support his frail wife and hungry young children at home. By the time they meet, he would be a depressing and dejected sight.9
Or maybe, he was still a world-renowned dentist but he grew the diamond teeth of all Hollywood stars, and so he returned home in splendor and brilliance. As for Si Jun, a little doctor who has just passed his medical training would pitifully hold 99 roses while crying and begging him for forgiveness.
There are thousands of different scenes, all of which are similar but they won’t be the one front of him.
“What are you doing?” Dressed in a white coat, Si Jun stood expressionless at the door of the ward while he looked at Xia Yuzhou, who was about to bite his patient’s neck. He did not have a dejected and depressed face, nor did he cry bitterly. He had a slack posture, and his face was even more handsome than when he was in college.
