useless vampire

The decoration workers came early in the morning, and Jiang An couldn't help, so he just served tea and water.

Soon the lobby on the second floor took shape, with comfortable sofas, retro-style tables and chairs, and huge walls that were delivered in full boxes. There were real books, not decorations.Jiang An finally found that he had something to do. While the workers were decorating, he put the books on the shelf one by one.

Some books are unopened, and some are second-hand books recycled at high prices.Jiang An carefully arranged the books according to the categories, and he was in a good mood, even humming a little song.

He was forced to live, and dropped out of high school before finishing high school.The vampire class is very special. The age of students in a class may vary greatly, because some vampires have such high IQs that they have to skip grades.And like Jiang An, there are very few vampires who are almost as old as humans and go to high school.So Jiang An sitting in a high school classroom full of children is already a very "shameful" example.

Even so, he is very eager to read, even if life makes him so difficult.

At dusk, the workers were gone.

Jiang An packed up all the books, took the book, and sat beside him to read.

It was getting dark, because he was so fascinated by it that he didn't notice that the dim decorative lights were still on in the room.

Suddenly, with a "pop", Jiang An's pupils suddenly narrowed, and the main light turned on.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?"

Jiang An stood up quickly, and was pleasantly surprised to see He Zizhou standing at the door.

"I forgot." Jiang An replied.

He Zizhou put a big bag on the table and said, "You take this."

Jiang An walked over and saw that they were all blood packs, and they were packed in cartons. His heart skipped a beat, "This is..."

"It's a pity to throw away the rest of the experiment." He Zizhou said coldly.

Jiang An didn't care about He Zizhou's cold tone, his eyes were bright, and his mind was full of Dr. He giving me so many blood bags, Dr. He giving me so many blood bags...

He Zizhou glanced at the book in his hand, it was a collection of essays written by the famous blood writer Lawrence, and asked, "Do you like reading this?"

Jiang An nodded, "I learned one of his essays when I was in school, and I liked him very much. I borrowed his books in the library, but after I dropped out of school, I didn't have the chance to read them."

He Zizhou looked at him with his head down, his appearance was both cute and pitiful.Sighing, her hand hung over his head unconsciously, the moment it touched his hair, it stopped, and then fell on his shoulder.Patted lightly, said: "Then you see, I still have something to do."

Jiang An sent He Zizhou out of the club, holding a book in his arms, watching He Zizhou's car leave.

The club is almost ready, and Jiang An will be an adult the next day.

It was a gloomy day, but it was good weather for a vampire like Jiang An.He put on sunscreen, put on a sun protection suit, and went for a walk.

I ordered a cup of fresh fruit plasma smoothie at a smoothie shop. Blood and special fruit ice cream were mixed together to form a dreamy blue.

"Please take it well," the young lady with a bright smile handed him the smoothie and instructed, "Be sure to drink it within an hour, otherwise it will go bad."

Jiang An took the smoothie and took a sip cautiously, feeling a sense of happiness welling up in his heart. Although he had heard that this smoothie shop was delicious, he had never tried it.After taking another big sip, he sealed the smoothie again, put it flat in the canvas bag, and continued shopping.

Rare happiness has to be savored slowly.

At this time, he passed by a bookstore and saw a discount promotion written in front of the door.He walked in, the bookstore was not well lit, and there were many people inside, especially many middle school students gathered here to buy reference materials.He stroked the beautiful spine, sighed, and finally decided to buy a copy by Lawrence.

Just as he was about to turn around and go to pay the bill, suddenly a boy who was a little younger than him bumped into him.

"Ah—sorry—" the boy apologized repeatedly.

He was really hurt by the bump, and even the bag fell off his shoulder, but the boy apologized sincerely. He said "it's okay" and went to pay the bill.

There were a lot of people in the bookstore. Looking at the long queue in front of him, he was thinking about the smoothie in his bag. It would not melt, and it would go bad after an hour.But it was inconvenient to drink in the bookstore, so he sighed and looked around casually. He turned to the door of the bookstore. The boy just now was standing near the door, as if waiting for someone, and suddenly they looked at each other.He smiled, but the boy quickly looked away uncomfortably.

Jiang An: "..."

Jiang An waited for a long time to get in line, paid the money, turned around and was about to leave, but what he didn't notice was that the boy followed.

As soon as he stepped out of the anti-theft device at the door, he heard a piercing "beep-beep-" sound like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

He was stunned, and at the same time felt a sudden push from behind, he staggered and fell out, a figure disappeared at the end of the dark street.

"Hey—you stop!"

A big rough hand grabbed his shoulder, and he felt a pinching pain, and he was dragged back to the bookstore.

He stood numbly in the crowd, and several strange faces showed the same expression: disgust and excitement.Everyone put down what they were doing and twisted their necks to watch the trial of the theft case.

"Hand over the book!" the clerk shouted.

"Why?" Jiang An was stunned, his brain was in chaos, and he didn't know how to figure out the situation in front of him.I paid for a book just now, but there was a "beep" sound when I went out, and now I want to take out the book I just bought?

Jiang An opened the bag, stretched his hand in, and suddenly paused, besides the book he bought just now, how could there be a book he had never seen before?

"Take it out!" The clerk jerked his elbow, and both books shook out.

The clerk saw at a glance that one of them had not been paid for, so he proudly picked it up, as if showing off a trophy, and said, "This is the one."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Jiang An glanced at the book, and his face turned pale in an instant, not only because there was an inexplicable stolen book suddenly, but also because this book was a horror book, and the cover showed a person lying in a pool of blood.Blood……

But in the eyes of bystanders, Jiang An's paleness was a sign of confession.So the bystanders twisted their necks even harder. If the store manager hadn't come out to stop him, someone would have recorded a video with their mobile phone and tried to post it on Douyin.

"follow me."

The store manager pushed aside the crowd, took Jiang An to the warehouse, held the book in his hand, and said, "See, you're not an adult yet, ask your parents to come and take you."

Jiang An grabbed the bag tightly and said, "I didn't steal it..."

The store manager glanced at him coldly and said, "I'm getting tired of hearing that."

Jiang An bit her lips tightly, "I really didn't steal it!"

"Should be 14 years old?" The store manager asked suddenly.

Jiang An was taken aback, "It's full."

The store manager chuckled, threw the book aside, sat down on the chair with dignity, took out his mobile phone, and said: "Then I can't help it, now everyone automatically enters the integrity system when they reach the age of 14, if I report it , it's not good for your future."

Jiang An was stunned. He is not very familiar with these systems as he has always been law-abiding, but he knows that as long as he is 14 years old, he must consider the consequences of everything he does and bear certain responsibilities.The most common one is the integrity system, which is especially important for college admissions and job hunting.

The blood in Jiang An's body seemed to be coagulated, and he stood there blankly, thinking about everything in his head, but nothing made sense.

"Don't report it..." Jiang An choked up.

"Give me your adult's number," said the store manager.

Jiang An thought for a while, only to realize that he only knew one number, which was Dr. He's.

"Dial by yourself, slowly." The store manager handed him the phone impatiently.

His eyes were already blurred, he was staring at the phone, and dialed out with difficulty, "Di-di--" The phone was waiting to be connected, but he actually hoped that the waiting sound would never stop.

But He Zizhou quickly picked it up, "Hello."

"He... Dr. He..." Jiang An's voice was trembling.

"Jiang An?" He Zizhou was taken aback, Jiang An's voice was very strange, as if he was about to cry.

"Tsk," the store manager was really impatient, grabbed his phone back, and said, "Your kid is stealing in the store, come here quickly."

He Zizhou was stunned at first, listening to the stranger fabricate a "child" out of thin air, and said he was stealing something, he stroked in silence, understood, and calmly said: "Got it, tell me the address, I will be there soon."

The store manager told me the location of the store, hung up the phone, and went to other things.

Jiang An grabbed the hanging bag and stood in the corner of the warehouse, staring at the dust and reptiles in the corner, wishing to be burned to ashes like a human being and disappear into the air.But vampires can't die.

After a while, the warehouse door was pushed open.

He turned around, with tears in his eyes, he couldn't see the person who came, but he was sure that it was Dr. He, and there was a light outline in his eyes.

"This is that book." The store manager came up aggressively and put the book in front of He Zizhou.

He Zizhou glanced at him, pushed away the arm, walked towards Jiang An in the corner, and said, "Let me understand the situation with him first."
