A Guide to Raising a Little Human [Vampire Clan]

"Hey, you said it. A hunger strike? Is he in a bad mental state? We're not really friends, we just lived together for a while..."

Chu Lin was lying on Alpha's lap looking at his phone when he heard these words. He immediately became alert and tried to move closer, but Alpha pressed his shoulder down with one hand.

"Okay, I understand, I'll consider it."

After Alpha hung up the phone, Chu Lin got up again: "Was that Xiaobai? What happened to him?"

Alpha paused for a moment, but still told the truth: "His mental state hasn't been good lately. He hasn't been eating, and going to the hospital hasn't helped."

Upon hearing this, Chu Lin's expression immediately turned sour.

Alpha didn't continue speaking, but waited for Chu Lin to speak.

He knew that his little human family valued their kind very much and would definitely say something.

Sure enough, Chu Lin hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Alpha, I want to ask you for a favor."

Alpha's heart sank.

"Um?"

"I want to go see Xiaobai."

Hearing this request, Alpha breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you would let me bring Little White over."

Chu Lin shook his head: "No, I know you don't like Xiaobai, and you got hit by a car because of Xiaobai, so you definitely don't want him living here. I just think his owner can't understand him and probably doesn't know why he won't eat."

Seeing Chu Lin's expression, Alpha couldn't help but pat his head: "Okay, I'll drive you there later."

Hearing this, Chu Lin felt a little better: "Thank you."

He struggled out of Alpha's arms, then rummaged through his backpack and walked to the snack cabinet in the living room.

Alpha felt a pang of sadness watching the little human frantically stuffing snacks into his backpack.

Are we so unwilling to eat these things ourselves, that we should give them to our fellow human beings?

While humans are social animals, isn't this a bit too kind...?

Alpha leaned closer: "You don't need to give him yours, I can take you to buy some."

Chu Lin waved his hand: "It's okay, I couldn't finish all of this anyway, you don't need to spend any more money."

Alpha couldn't refuse him, so she simply ordered a few more pages of human snacks.

It was at this time that he received a message notification in the family group chat.

A loving and close-knit family

[Weiwei: @A@Vampire Emperor. Next weekend is a family gathering; I need to go back to the old house.]

[Vivi: Red Envelope]

[Vampire Emperor: 'Red envelope received']

[Vampire Emperor: Aaaaaah! No! There are only coffins to sleep in in this old house! And there's no WiFi!!!]

[Pu: I can't refuse.]

[Weiwei: Who said there isn't? Your great-great-grandfather set one up a while ago, so you'll definitely have no problem with online classes.]

[The Vampire Emperor: ...]

[Vampire Emperor: How long will we be staying this time...?]

[Weiwei: About half a month.]

[Vampire Emperor: Crying.jpg. You might as well just kill me.]

A: I'm not going.

[Weiwei: Hmm? Why?]

[A: I need to take care of my human family.]

[Weiwei: Oh right, right, Xiaobao is so pitiful, you should stay with him.]

[Vampire Emperor: Hmm?! Alert.jpg]

[Vampire Emperor: Mommy, I actually have a human companion too, can I not go?]

[Weiwei: I'll smash your head in.]

[Vampire Emperor: QwQ]

[Pu: @A. It can be fostered by another vampire, but you must come.]

[Weiwei: Indeed, that reason isn't very convincing to them. How about you find a friend to foster your child for a while, and tell Xiaobao you're away on a business trip... if he understands.]

[Vampire Emperor: Wow, bro, you really taught him vampire language? That's awesome, bro.]

[A: If I take him with me, can I stay with him indefinitely?]

[Pu: No.]

[Vampire Emperor: Yeah, brother, you'd better not bring him. Your little human is so timid, I'm worried he'll get traumatized.]

Alpha frowned as he read the message.

Given his current schedule, he already has very little time to spend with the little human... half a month, two weeks, he can't just leave Ah Lin alone in the house.

Jackley... I can't send him to Jackley's house, that guy will definitely take him to pubs to fool around.

Finding another vampire to foster him is one option, but he's a little worried that the little human might be afraid of unfamiliar vampires.

Bringing them back to the old mansion... those ancient, undead things would terrify him. And those blood servants, it's best the little humans don't see them...

Alpha was genuinely troubled this time.

"Ah Lin..."

Chu Lin, who was packing his things, turned around: "Hmm?"

Alpha tentatively asked, "I might have to go on a business trip for a while. Would you like to stay at home alone, or would you like to stay at my friend's house?"

Chu Lin was somewhat puzzled.

"How long is 'a period of time'?"

"About two weeks."

Chu Lin's eyes flashed: "Then can I stay at Xiao Bai's house?"

Alpha was completely unprepared for this reaction from her human: "Why didn't you ask me if I could come with you?"

Chu Lin paused for a second: "Is that alright?"

Alpha: "No."

Chu Lin: "I knew it was wrong, otherwise you wouldn't have asked me that."

Alpha was momentarily speechless: "..."

Chu Lin walked over, sat down next to Alpha, and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"So, can I stay at Xiaobai's house? Please... I'm so worried about him. I promise I won't run away, and I can't, really..."

Alpha patted Chu Lin's head, feeling increasingly unbalanced as he listened.

Why was he so conflicted for so long, while his family members were so accepting of this matter?

Alpha then cupped the little human's face in both hands, squeezing his cheeks until they bulged out.

"Lin, is it a small matter for you not to see me for two weeks?"

Chu Lin didn't know why Alpha suddenly snapped, "I'll miss you."

Alpha was still dissatisfied: "Is it because you feel you can live with your own kind now that you don't care about me anymore?"

Chu Lin: "???"

"Definitely not."

Alpha persisted, "How can you say it isn't? How do you intend to prove it?"

Perhaps not knowing what to say, Chu Lin simply cupped Alpha's face and kissed him on the lips.

Alpha's voice disappeared instantly.

After kissing for a while, Alpha gradually calmed down.

He held Chu Lin as if he were holding a constant source of heat, selfishly absorbing all the heat from his body.

"Yes, I'll miss you too."
