A Guide to Raising a Little Human [Vampire Clan]

In the past, Alpha would never have dared to imagine that his little human would actually give him such a hug.

She suddenly hugged him, wrapped her arms around his waist, and said in a coquettish tone, "Thank you."

Alpha felt her heart melting.

He lowered his head, nuzzled the little human's soft hair with his chin, and hugged him around the waist.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier all around.

Alpha also felt a chill, and in comparison, the little human in her arms seemed exceptionally warm.

In Alpha's eyes, humans are energetic beings, like a burning fire.

Unrestrained, warm, and intensely emotional, it can only burn itself out briefly before dying.

However, in the vampire worldview, the higher the level of the vampire, the more indifferent they tend to be, like ice that never melts, stubbornly retaining its original form.

Alpha once didn't understand overly fervent emotional expressions, nor did he care about things that were meaningless to him.

So when the little human confessed his love to him, his first reaction was... shock and incomprehension.

My second reaction was that it didn't seem to matter much.

Look, this poor little thing, it won't live long anyway, so isn't it nice for it to live in the beautiful illusion woven by its owner?

As long as he lives, we'll play along and act with him for a day. All in all, it'll only last a few decades at most before the burning fire goes out.

Therefore, the first thing Alpha said to Chu Lin was that he liked him, and it was indeed a lie to comfort him.

But for some reason, even after he found out that the little human was lying, he still couldn't bring himself to expose it and comfortably occupied the position of boyfriend.

He kept crossing the line, exploiting Chu Lin's guilt after being rescued by him, trying to gain Chu Lin's greater dependence and affection for him...

In other words, he went from giving purely to taking.

They demand love, companionship, and trust.

In that instant, Alpha suddenly realized that she could no longer explain those intimate actions as simply trying to make the little human happy or playing the role of a companion...

His feelings for Chu Lin were actually liking, and the degree of liking might even have surpassed that for Chu Lin as a human being.

It's not that Chu Lin can't live without him, it's that he can't live without Chu Lin.

Upon realizing this, Alpha felt a chill run through her body and even experienced a fear she had never felt before.

He was clearly holding Chu Lin, but he never felt that hugging was such a lonely action.

It's like holding a flame that's about to go out at any moment...

"Alpha, what's wrong?"

Alpha's thoughts were pulled back by Chu Lin's voice.

Chu Lin probably noticed his unusual behavior and looked at him with some concern.

Alpha immediately composed himself.

"It's okay, it's nothing... It's too cold outside, let's wait until the snow stops before we come out, okay?"

Chu Lin's fingers were already red from the cold. He hadn't even worn the gloves he was wearing. After hearing what Alpha said, he hummed in agreement and took his hand to walk forward.

Alpha followed behind him, holding an umbrella, watching Chu Lin's somewhat excited figure.

It's heartening to see that Chu Lin seems to be in a much better mood and has become more lively since this trip.

Back at the hotel, Chu Lin even took the initiative to ask, "Where are we going tomorrow? I saw a park over there, can we go there?"

Alpha: "Of course. I have an appointment with an art exhibition, and I can go after it ends."

"An art exhibition?"

"It's a place where paintings are displayed."

"good!"

Alpha was surprised that Chu Lin agreed so quickly and was still a little confused.

"I remember you used to really dislike going out, didn't you?"

Chu Lin's smile froze.

He thought for a moment and decided to be honest: "This place is far from where we live, right... so it's also far from my enemies."

Alpha: "An enemy?"

Chu Lin: "Those vampires who raised me before, they're connected to the church, they might be looking for me."

Alpha grabbed his hand: "That's not called raising animals, that's called abuse."

Chu Lin lowered his head: "Mm."

Alpha: "So you wanted to run away before because you were afraid they would find you if you stayed in my house?"

Chu Lin nodded: "That's part of the reason..."

Alpha suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked a problem.

He had always thought that Chu Lin had been abandoned, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

"Did you escape from the family of the previous vampire?"

"Yes, he raised me for twelve years, and when I was seventeen, he raped me and then locked me in the basement, imprisoning me for two years."

Chu Lin spoke calmly, as if these few words could already summarize the first half of his life as a human being.

Alpha was stunned.

In other words, a human who had been abused for a long time finally escaped the control of those vampires, almost trading half his life for freedom, only to be imprisoned by them in another way, under the guise of love...

He could argue from his own perspective that he was saving an innocent life, but from a little human's point of view, how could he possibly trust any other vampire? Let alone running away, it would be considered kind of him not to assassinate himself.

"Sorry, I don't know..."

Alpha even regretted asking the question, fearing that Chu Lin would be stressed and that it would ruin his slightly better mood.

Chu Lin shook his head: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with you... I shouldn't have doubted you because of these things, you're a good person..."

Alpha met his gaze silently, then extended his hand.

Chu Lin suddenly pouted, stepped forward, and threw herself into Alpha's arms, saying aggrievedly, "I really hate them."

Alpha held the person in his arms and said, "Yes, they all deserve to die."

Chu Lin leaned against Alpha's chest, and hearing those words made him feel much better.

"Don't worry, I won't hold a grudge against you. I know you're different, and I like you..."

Alpha responded in a gentle voice.

"I love you too."

……

That night, while Chu Lin was asleep, Alpha searched on his phone.

[Lifespan Range of Pets in Human Circumstances]

A: The lifespan of pets is generally between 30 and 40 years. Because humans face increased risk of various chronic diseases as they age, and their appearance gradually becomes less attractive, humans in breeding centers are typically genetically controlled. This has been proven to be an effective measure to reduce the probability of pets being abandoned…

Alpha closed the page in frustration.

A message came from Xiwen.

[Seichi: Boss, you have received a legal summons.]

[A: A commercial dispute?]

[Seichi: There's a property dispute. They say you illegally seized another vampire's property. They want to discuss it further when you have time.]

[A: Contact your legal department yourself and don't bother me this week.]
