As soon as his hand touched the gun, Dio suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck and fainted.

The chaotic consciousness gradually became clear.

Dio found himself back in the old house in the slums, holding a white dog skin stained with blood, and his hands were full of the warm and smooth touch of flesh and fat.

He hated the dog and its fawning attitude toward humans. Especially, when Mia stares at it with shining eyes...

During the skinning process, the dog resisted too fiercely and the skinning was not complete, which made it unsightly as a gift, but he still gave it away at that time.

Thinking of what would happen next, Dio's pupils shrank suddenly and he took a step forward, intending to take away the dog corpse on Mia's bed and dispose of Lucky's body.

Eyelashes trembling, Mia opened her eyes.

Touching her gaze, Dio froze: "It's just an accident. I'll buy you a new one."

Her eyes, which used to be filled with love, were filled with tears, and there was a clear fear. Mia screamed loudly and backed away desperately.

A trace of panic flashed across his face, and Dio said softly: "Mia, listen to me..."

boom!

Mom opened the door and barged in.

This woman who had been gentle all her life changed her face suddenly when she saw the dog skin in Dio's hand, and she rushed forward and slapped him.

Dio was stunned, then slowly raised his hand and covered his burning cheeks.

Unlike Dario, my mother is gentle and kind to everyone. This was the first time he saw his mother hit someone as long as he could remember.

Her chest heaved violently, and her mother's face showed dazzling disappointment: "I thought you would be different from your father."

After saying that, without even looking at Dior, mother took Mia's hand and took her out: "Don't be afraid, Mia, mother will take you to eat cake."

Mia lowered her head and left with her mother without saying a word.

Dio looked at their retreating figures, as if he was frozen. He could not run to chase them, nor could he say an apology.

Just like he was when he was young.

With his heart beating rapidly and his clothes soaked in cold sweat, Dio woke up from his dream and found himself lying on the bed in the bedroom.

Uneasiness and fear gnaw at his nerves, and Dio instinctively looks for the only person he cares about.

He turned his head and saw Mia.

There was a buzz in his head, and Dio felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Mia sat on the chair and looked at him expressionlessly. That indifferent expression suddenly overlapped with his mother who was disappointed in him that day.

Dio's face turned pale, and he opened and closed his lips several times, but was unable to say a word.

Mia didn't come to coax him as usual, but just sat quietly, her cold gaze like a knife, pricking blood holes in his body one after another.

Dio lowered his head, covered his face, and forced his confused brain to start working.

Why is she like this?

Angry?

Is it because of Johnny? Or because...

Disappointed in him.

The feeling of weightlessness like falling off a cliff clenched his heart, and Dio struggled to squeeze out the words of peace.

"I shouldn't be so impulsive. I won't do it next time."

Mia didn't respond.

The blood vessels seemed to be filled with ice slag, feeling cold and painful. In order to find the only warmth, Dio desperately searched for his own crimes.

"I'll be nice to Lucky. You see, I fed him beef yesterday."

"Johnny... Johnny is a good man. I shouldn't miss you so much."

"I will never stab you with scissors again."

"The day I stabbed you with a knife... I really didn't mean it. Johnny said something about Dario, and my mind was very confused. When I came back to my senses, I was like that."

"The time Ghoul Street choked you, I was just worried about you. I didn't want you to take risks."

"I won't give you weird nicknames anymore. Actually, you're actually quite cute."

"If you want to eat chocolate, just eat it. I'll take you to buy it, okay?"

Dio stumbled and talked a lot, but Mia didn't respond at all.

Those who are favored are confident. But when the person who loves you withdraws that love without any warning, the sudden sense of gap will make you breathless.

Dio bit his lip tightly, the pain and the smell of blood brought him some clarity.

"I know you want to live a peaceful life. If you wish, we'll put aside the Ghoul Street thing and go buy a villa in the countryside..."

Mia didn't respond and seemed completely uninterested in his affairs.

The tighter you hold on to the sand, the faster it flows. Dio suddenly felt a sense of despair that he couldn't hold on to anything.

Dio put down his hand and raised his head, finding that Mia's expression did not change at all, as if his confession was just dust on the roadside.

He had never seen her like this.

Even on the day he killed Lucky, she still brought him strawberry cake without telling her mother and secretly applied medicine to his face.

The sand cannot be grasped no matter what.

What if the sand is wet with blood?

"Mia..."

Dio took out the knife, walked over to Mia, and put the knife against his cheek.

"look at me."

The blade slowly pierced the skin, and blood dripped.

Mia's face turned pale. She snatched away Dio's knife and stood on tiptoes to check his wound: "What are you doing? Does it hurt?"

Looking at the familiar green eyes filled with love and distress, Dio curled his lips and said, "It doesn't hurt."

The gentle smile and handsome face should have been good-looking, but the bright red blood made him look a little weird.

Seeing this, Mia's mouth twitched: "I just squinted for a while, why did you suddenly get nervous?"

Squinted for a while?

The smile on Dio's face froze: "Why are you narrowing your eyes for a while?"

Mia tilted her head: "Go to sleep. After I moved you back, I sat next to you and watched over you, but fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw you stabbing yourself."

"what?"

"I was afraid that you would shoot me, so I knocked you unconscious with a knife. It was obviously your neck. Why is your brain damaged?"

"Were you sleeping with your eyes open just now?"

"I'm so tired from going to the zoo every night lately. Maybe I fell asleep before I even had time to close my eyes."

After saying that, Mia noticed that Dio's expression was distorted, as if he had eaten shit in the chocolate.

With a thump in her heart, Mia hurriedly went to shake Dio: "What's wrong with you? Cheer up!!"

"Brainless idiot..." Dio suddenly hugged Mia tightly and cried loudly.

Mia's head was full of questions. She patted his back and coaxed him for a long time, but didn't ask anything.

After thinking about it carefully, Mia came to a conclusion——

Didn't she beat Dio stupid? !

The injury on Dio's face was not serious, so Mia disinfected him. Because of his strange behavior just now, Mia was very worried and followed Dio closely for the next time, fearing that he would accidentally die.

Dio leaned against the door, expressionless: "Can you please stop following me?"

Mia grabbed the corner of his clothes and was so anxious that tears came out: "My dear, I will be responsible for you and support you for the rest of my life. Let me go in with you, I don't trust you."

Dio squeezed the door frame: "I have to go to the toilet! Toilet! Do you understand?!"

Mia blinked: "Then, let me help you support you?"

Dio's cheeks turned red and he slammed the door.

"You are so stupid and you still have such a bad temper." Mia curled her lips and silently thought about where to find a famous doctor for him.

At this time, Johnny ran over with a worried look on his face: "Mia, Daisy said she went out to buy groceries, but she hasn't come back for two hours. I'm a little worried..."

Mia thought for a while: "I run fast, I go out to find her. You watch Dio at home."

Johnny volunteered: "I'll go too! The two of us will find him quickly."

"No, you'll be in trouble when you get lost too. Dio is a little uncomfortable, so keep an eye on him." Mia waved her hand and ran towards the door like the wind.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Wen Qing standing outside.

The Japanese doctor looked anxious and seemed to be about to knock on the door.

"Wen Qing? Why are you here?"

"Lord Mia!" Wen Qing's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and explained at a very fast speed, "There was a problem with the fishing plan. The bait was just taken away. It happened suddenly and our people couldn't stop it."

Mia was confused: "What fishing? What kind of bait?"

Wen Qing was also confused: "Didn't Master Dio tell you?"

"No." Mia scratched her head and led Wen Qing to the toilet, "I'll call him out and you can talk. If we can still talk."

Boom boom boom!

Mia knocked frantically on the bathroom door.

"Stop pooping! It's a shame to poop when you're a worker, you're a working soul!"

There was silence for a while, and just when Mia wanted to shout again, Dio opened the door with a dark face.

"I *you*, you better be okay."

Mia used a sweet voice when talking to children: "Can you wipe it?"

Dio's face turned even darker, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You..."

"Um..." Wen Qing, who was completely ignored, said cautiously, "Master Dio, there is something wrong with the fishing plan."

When did Wen Qing come in? Dio froze for a moment, his expression colorful for a few seconds before returning to his usual indifferent look.

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on me? What happened?"

The young man's eyes were like poisoned knives. Wen Qing lowered his head, his back soaked with cold sweat.

His plan went wrong and he saw something he shouldn't have seen. He won't be silenced, right?

I didn’t expect that Master Dio and Mia would get along like this in private...

Swallowing his saliva, Wen Qing reported the situation to Dio fearfully, fearing that the boss would be unhappy and throw him to the fishes.

Wen Qing and Dio used some code words in their communication, but Mia couldn't understand it. She only understood that it was related to the bald head.

After chatting, Dio pondered for a moment and asked Mia and Wen Qing to leave.

"Let's go! It's still too late to get there now. There are clues to the vampire..."
