Will the plagiarism girl be a substitute for the preference for women?

No, Xiangzi wouldn't be that kind of person!

China shook her head violently, letting her hair fall messily across her face.

What's wrong with her? Did they put alcohol in her drink while she was eating?

However, Xiangzi's face did not show any signs of drunkenness, nor did he smell of alcohol.

She slowly leaned closer and calmly gave a reasonable explanation: "Starting rehearsals so suddenly will allow you to better immerse yourself in the witch's panicked situation."

Indeed, it worked very well; the intense fear even brought tears to China's eyes.

"Xiangzi, although I usually call you 'sister,' I'm the one who pays your salary... You can't bully your boss like this!"

"Hmph~ Is that so?"

Xiangzi tilted his head slightly, lowered his eyes, and seemed to be disregarding Qiannai's identity.

She improvised some lines for the rehearsal: "No matter how well you do in the human world, you're still just a weak witch, destined to be played with by vampires."

"Xiang...Xiangzi?" Qiannai didn't know if Xiangzi was too engrossed in his performance or if he was using the guise of rehearsal to encourage the performance.

"No, that shouldn't be the case... You should have always been annoyed by me and disliked me."

"I never said I liked you. I was just rehearsing," Xiangzi said flippantly.

"that's true……"

China glanced left and right, trying to convince herself to believe in the even more absurd possibility.

"Yes, they're rehearsing!"

She responded, her breath coming in short gasps as she spoke.

"I even told you about pretending to be you and doing *that* in front of the mirror last night. You're already being kind by not breaking up with me, right?"

"yes……"

Xiangzi stared coldly, looking at the small fry with disdain and anger.

"How can you say something so shameless, with a face just like mine?"

Her lips twitched, and she spoke each word through gritted teeth:

"And I even swallowed my pride and tried to smooth things over for you, saying it was your way of confessing your feelings to me. Thinking about it now makes me sick..."

China was stunned by this aura and the extremely strong contrast, and the guilt she felt for doing something bad rose up again.

Even though Xiangzi didn't press down on her hands very hard, she felt as if she were being pressed down by a strong force, unable to move or resist.

"Not a bad expression, witch~"

Xiangzi raised his thumb and pried open Qiannai's tightly pursed lower lip, his face also moving closer, and the two could feel each other's warm breath.

"You were right before, I should indeed punish you properly."

"It's time for me to taste your blood~"

Xiangzi brushed aside the ends of Qiannai's hair and unbuttoned the buttons one by one.

"Spare me... spare me..." China said in a trembling voice.

"You performed with great dedication, very good, keep it up."

After Zhongkendi offered a word of encouragement, Xiangzi immediately switched back to his performance mode, raising one corner of his mouth and slowly stroking down his body like a snake until his mouth was facing Qiannai's collarbone.

With a ripping sound, China's collar was ripped open.

Xiangzi was about to take a bite when he frowned.

It's not that China has been eating too much lately, making her collarbone less defined.

Instead, there were bite marks left on one side of her collarbone.

When Shoko was taking a bath with China earlier, China's bangs covered this area, so Shoko didn't notice.

"Whose?"

Xiangzi looked serious, and many guesses flashed through her mind, but none of them seemed good to her.

However, she was not blinded by her dissatisfaction and professionally added a line on the spot.

"Has another vampire seized the initiative?"

Of course, it's also possible that she didn't want to hear the real name halfway through.

"Yes Yes……"

Chika stammered, then suddenly her eyes darted around, and she calmed down from her nervousness, putting on a composed smile and cooperatingly continuing her lines.

"She is not a vampire, but a human widow."

"widow?"

Xiangzi stroked his chin, lost in thought for a moment.

"Is it that person...? When I was still human, I married her..."

"Oh? So you weren't a purebred vampire after all?"

As if she had obtained unexpected information, China's smile became even more arrogant, and she gradually regained the upper hand.

"You faked your death and abandoned her?"

"It's none of your business!"

Xiangzi, who had inadvertently let slip the secret, immediately warned.

She then looked at the bite mark with a bored expression: "Forget it, if you were bitten by that guy, I'm not interested anymore."

She was about to get up when China forcefully pressed her head down and pinned her back down.

Xiangzi's mouth almost touched the teeth mark left by Su Shi.

"Chika, wait a minute! You're playing a witch, you can't possibly be stronger than a vampire!"

She strained back, tilting her head back to try and keep her distance from the bite marks, as she shouted.

"You're not a powerful pure-blooded vampire, so it's reasonable for me to slightly enhance my power with magical mania, right?"

The Heavenly Generals were reversed, and the panicked party became Xiangzi.

"No! Don't let me touch the teeth marks! They're the seal that guy left! If I touch them, I'll never be able to get rid of her for the rest of my life!"

"Really? Then you deserve it."

Chika said casually, raising her voice.

Suddenly, an undeniable air of intimidation settled on her face.

Her words, as if frozen in ice, each syllable sharp and forceful, struck the heart like a heavy hammer, a solemn and earnest warning:

"No matter what difficult reasons forced you to leave her, at the very least, you should sincerely apologize to her."

"No one is obligated to understand your feelings when you haven't even explained the basic situation."

"You didn't ask them to be understanding of you, but at the very least, you have to be understanding of them."

"Eliminating your weaknesses never means becoming cold-hearted; rather, it means forging a braver and warmer heart through setbacks and difficulties."

A myriad of complex thoughts lingered in Xiangzi's mind.

The witch's words were like sharp blades, making it difficult for the vampire to let go.

Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes sometimes flickered with hesitation, and sometimes with a resolute look.

"A witch who only knows how to preach..." she finally murmured helplessly.

China loosened her grip and gently stroked Shoko's hair.

"I'm not just a preacher... I can accompany you... to become human."

Xiangzi's lips trembled slightly, as if he was trying to suppress the emotional storm surging within him.

She got up, sat down next to China, and gazed at the night sky outside the window for a while.

"I'll take you somewhere."

"where?"

"Qianshideng Pedestrian Bridge".

Chapter 160 A Thousand Generations Ascend the Walkway Bridge

At night, the stars twinkle, and cars stream back and forth under the overpass like neon lights. A gentle breeze brings a touch of coolness.

Contrary to what China had imagined, the place Shoko took her to was not a spectacular sight.

The streets are lined with houses, and there is no hustle and bustle like in the city center, only quiet lights.

An ordinary residential area.

"I want to be human."

The streetlights cast a soft glow, like tiny starlight dancing in the mist. Xiangzi gazed at the distant overpass through the mist and said softly.

"I know."

Chika had just responded when the other person finished speaking.

“I used to shout that out loud when I stood on that bridge.”

"...in front of the lamp, he encouraged her and personally demonstrated how to do it."

Xiangzi walked through the hazy mist, his hair and skirt swaying gently in the breeze.

With each step she approached the overpass, her steps became less light, but rather firm in her determination to "face the innocence and arrogance of the past," and she strode forward more steadily.

"The term 'human being' seems to be too... sublime for the original meaning of the word."

After strolling for a while, Qiannai's previously high emotions gradually subsided, and she slowly reflected:

"This concept is simply...as perfect as marble."

"Yes"

Xiangzi stopped and turned around, his face filled with regret.

"I actually said something like wanting to become human in front of the light..."

China tried to guess what the other party was thinking.

"Do you think that doing it back then was a bit like Versailles?"

Since I couldn't find a more reasonable way to describe it, I asked it this way.

Xiangzi hesitated for a moment, as if something invisible was pressing against her chin, and she nodded in protest.

Previously, Deng felt that she was different from ordinary people, that she was not good at communicating, and that she lacked the ability to empathize with others. That's why she wanted to step out of her closed-off heart and become human.

Xiangzi, born into a wealthy family, has the ability and resources to practice her kindness, help others, and realize her dreams.

The light that brought hope to others actually shouted out to his face, "I want to become human."

How can someone like Deng, who only aims to be an ordinary person, bear to define "humanity" with his own high standards?

As her thoughts gradually returned, Xiangzi was still bathed in the misty light, the yellowish glow acting like a filter, placing her in the past.

"Speaking of which, you've set a very high standard for killing my weakness."

She slowly repeated China's words, each one as clear as yesterday.

"Forge a braver and warmer heart amidst setbacks and difficulties, and learn to empathize with them."

Chinatsu immediately offered a ritualistic defense: "That was during rehearsals, and we conceived the lines that way to create tension for the performance."

However, the script discussion time had already ended, so she explained the true situation.

“It was mania that made me say that… I’m not used to setting high standards for others… I feel like I’m not worthy.”

Xiangzi gazed intently at Qiannai, and as he approached, he said, "But you do realize that there are areas where I can improve."

"and……"

Xiangzi said with gratitude,

"Without you, I'd probably still be working right now and wouldn't have the energy to think about these things."
