A Guide to Raising a Little Human [Vampire Clan]

Chu Lin really didn't know what to say. He covered the receiver and explained in a low voice, "Besides, the reason you weren't cold when I held you was because you weren't covered with a blanket, which is why I said I was cold at the time."

The person on the other end chuckled softly.

The laughter was so soothing; it felt like Alpha was laughing in his ear, making Chu Lin feel weak all over.

But he quickly realized that they weren't talking about the same thing at all; he and Alpha didn't sleep at the same time in the first place...

Chu Lin then mustered up his courage and asked, "Hey, are you kidding me?"

Alpha: "No, I'm really angry. Even if humans are social creatures, there's no need for them to sleep together..."

Chu Lin had just regained his composure when he hesitated, fearing that Alpha wouldn't allow him to stay any longer. After all, Yu Ci and Xiao Bai had a history with Alpha, so it was already quite an achievement that they were allowed to stay for two weeks...

Chu Lin: "I'm sorry."

Alpha: "Say a sweet word and I'll stop being angry."

Chu Lin was stunned: "What?"

The person on the other end slowly said, "Anything is fine. I love you, I like you, I want to be with you, I want to see you right now... I want to kiss you, I want to see you take your clothes off willingly..."

Chu Lin's face turned completely red: "Stop, stop, stop... don't say anymore."

Alpha: "What's wrong?"

What's wrong? Why did you suddenly say something like that? It almost made him throw his phone away...

Chu Lin adjusted his breathing and said in a very fast, almost inaudible voice, "I like you."

The person on the other end paused for a moment: "Who likes it? Could you tell me more?"

Chu Lin felt she had exhausted all her courage: "I...can I say it another time?"

Alpha said with a smile, "Of course. It's alright, I'm just happy to hear your voice."

"Hmm..." Chu Lin felt like he was about to evaporate.

But just as he was about to say that he didn't want to talk anymore, he heard a rustling sound coming from the bathroom door.

"Call me again next time, bye."

Chu Lin hung up the phone, then put his hand on the doorknob and yanked the door open.

"ah--"

Yu Ci and Xiao Bai, who were squatting and listening at the door, lost their balance and fell inside. Chu Lin dodged them by stepping aside, and then they both fell in front of him.

Chu Lin stood in front of the two of them, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and bowed his head.

"You can't even understand vampire language, so why were you eavesdropping on my phone call?"

Xiao Bai looked up and held up one finger: "I understand a little bit... what you just said..."

Chu Lin: "Ahem, shut up, go eat."

Xiao Bai shut his mouth.

The two of them got up and followed Chu Lin outside.

Bush should have been getting ready for bed, as he wasn't seen on the second floor, only three small bowls of empty pet food.

Chu Lin saw Yu Ci naturally pick up a bowl and scoop out food with a spoon.

Xiao Bai sighed, "It really tastes awful, all dark and dry..."

Chu Lin also took a bite: "That means there are no palatability enhancers in it. You can add some water."

Xiao Bai gave Chu Lin a look of disdain, then looked at him expectantly: "Brother Lin, will there really be boiled corn tomorrow?"

Chu Lin poked at the beans with a spoon: "Maybe, perhaps Alpha will find another vampire to make some and send it over."

Seeing that Chu Lin was reluctant to eat, Xiao Bai said, "Brother Lin, if you don't like it, then don't eat it. You can eat the snacks, and I'll eat these for you."

Chu Lin shook his head and then began to eat in silence.

Yu Ci had already finished a bowl and asked, "What kind of corn?"

Xiao Bai was speechless: "Could your reaction be any slower?"

Yu Ci: "I was just too lazy to talk to you just now."

While eating, Chu Lin asked, "What do you usually do during the day?"

Yu Ci: "Sunbathing, spacing out. Occasionally, if that vampire doesn't lock the door, I'll go wake him up, and then continue spacing out."

Chu Lin: "..."

Xiao Bai said expressionlessly, "Pretty much... Anyway, we can't get out, and I can't understand the TV. I'm tired of looking at his face; it's like looking in a mirror."

Chu Lin: "Who told you not to study the vampire language properly? All you know how to do is play Candy Crush."

Xiao Bai said, feeling wronged, "I didn't. I studied very hard."

Chu Lin: "But you haven't even learned everyday phrases in three weeks. Logically speaking, you should be able to learn a language in a month."

Xiao Bai fell silent: "Are you serious?"

Chu Lin asked in confusion, "Isn't that right?"

Yu Ci: "I agree."

Xiao Bai glared at Yu Ci: "What do you agree with?"

Yu Ci: "You're an idiot."

Xiao Bai: "...Do you think you're so smart?"

Yu Ci: "At least I'm smarter than you."

The two of them were talking back and forth, and it looked like they were about to start arguing again.

Chu Lin watched the show while quietly finishing his pet food.

He had just finished eating when Yu Ci reached out and took his bowl away, saying, "I'll go wash it."

Chu Lin got up and chased after him: "Hmm? Can you wash dishes?"

Only when Xiaobai was the only one left sitting at the table, eating alone, did he realize: "Hey! You little black devil, you did this on purpose!"

Chu Lin followed Yu Ci all the way to the kitchen.

Yu Ci threw the bowl into the sink and then turned on the tap.

Chu Lin rarely had the chance to go to the kitchen alone, as Alpha usually locked the kitchen door, so he was a little curious and looked around.

Yu Ci initiated a conversation: "Did you know that each vampire prefers a different type of blood? If your owner doesn't drink your blood often, it might not suit his taste."

Chu Lin: "Huh?"

Yu Ci: "Type A, Type B, Type O... to them, it's like watermelon, mango, and grape flavors. If they find one they like, they'll want to drink it all the time. The rarer blood types are the most valuable... and they'll be kept in separate enclosures."

Chu Lin asked, somewhat puzzled, "Keep what?"

Yu Ci casually said, "What else can a person be? They are usually locked up in a breeding farm around the age of five. Children are treated every six months, and adults are treated every three months. Once their blood production function is almost exhausted, they are euthanized and then burned as fuel."

Upon hearing this description, Chu Lin instinctively felt his hair stand on end, and he was still somewhat taken aback.

"No, wasn't it said it wasn't human blood?"

Yu Ci paused.

He turned his head: "Did he really lie to you like that?"

Chu Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "I know of factories that produce blood."

Yu Ci didn't say anything, but walked to the refrigerator.

He opened the refrigerator door, revealing rows of neatly stored frozen blood plasma. He then picked up a bag and showed it to Chu Lin.

"I can't read the words on it, but you should be able to."

Chu Lin looked down at the label above.
