The Vampire Parenting Diaries

Yulia left the kitchen in a daze, with Elphin's words still echoing in her ears—"We like each other, and you promised me, of course we are now in a relationship."

He and Mr. started dating.

Back in the restaurant, Uriah covered his hot face again and sat down. He realized that he had asked a stupid question. He and his husband had confessed their love to each other and kissed each other. Of course, they were considered to be in love. ah.

Thinking of the overly intense kiss in the garden, Uriah subconsciously touched his lower lip, feeling a little numb. When he realized what he was doing, he withdrew his hand again like an electric shock, and put his hands flat on the table, straightly Sit down.

Elphons quickly came out with the dinner. As soon as he went out, he saw Uriah sitting on the chair, looking forward to it. He walked over in a good mood and put the dinner in front of Uriah , I sat next to him and said, "Let's eat."

He directly put everything in front of Ureya's eyes, and there was only one portion. Ureya picked up the knife and fork, a little strangely, and asked, "Sir, don't you want to eat?"

Elphons pointed to himself and said, "I'm a vampire. Human food is useless to me. I don't need to eat it."

"Ah yes," Ulea almost forgot his identity, and only remembered after he reminded him, but after thinking about it, he asked again, "But I remember that sir used to eat?"

After asking, he came to his senses, asked himself and answered, "Could it be to avoid revealing my identity in front of me?"

"That's right," Elphons admitted.

"No wonder Mr. ate so little each time," Uriah said, recalling those times. "I thought it was to keep fit."

Elphons was amused by his thought, and stroked his hair, "Since you know now, I don't have to pretend anymore. Eat quickly, and I'll take you to the basement after eating."

"Ok!"

Ulea still remembered their agreement, he was very curious about the collection of Elphins that may have gone through several centuries, and immediately buried himself in eating.

Although Elphins couldn't taste the taste of human food, after so many years of practice, he had a very precise grasp of Uriah's taste, and every time he made something, Uriah could hardly stop eating.The child ate without raising his head, and he just sat and watched, passing water and paper towels from time to time. Ulea didn't even need to open his mouth, what he wanted was already in front of him.

Getting used to this, the two of them didn't feel anything wrong, and they cooperated very tacitly.

Ulea quickly finished his dinner and noticed that Elphin was looking at him, he wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "It's delicious, thank you sir."

"As long as you like it." Elphons put the dinner plate into the kitchen.Old Evan had equipped all the kitchens in the manor with dishwashers some time ago, so he handed over the washing work to the machine with peace of mind, opened the dishwasher, put things in, set it up, and then left.

"Are you going now?" Yulia asked expectantly, waiting for him at the kitchen door.

Elphons took Uriah's hand and said, "Let's go."

As soon as the hands were clasped, Uriah calmed down, obediently being led by him, and followed him half a step behind him.

The basement is hidden under this building. Yulia never knew that there was such a space in the place where she lived since she was a child. She felt a little exciting, but she didn't feel scared, probably because Elphons was by her side. So he instinctively dared to face everything, because he knew that the other party would always be able to protect him.

Elphons led him up the second floor.Open the huge bookshelf in the study room, and a door is revealed behind it. After opening it with a special key, there is a flight of stairs, winding down in the dark, and the end is also dark.Ulea subconsciously squeezed Elphin's hand.

"Don't be afraid."

Elphons held him back, reached out and groped the wall behind the door for a few times, found the switch, pressed it, and the lights on both sides of the corridor would light up one by one, every few steps, and the dark corridor suddenly became as bright as daytime.

The light dispelled the unformed fear in Uriah's heart, he was relieved, and heard Elphons ask, "Are you okay?"

"Ah."

Yulia nodded slightly: "It's okay."

The stairs are wide enough for two people to walk side by side.Elphons and Uriah interlocked their fingers, leading the child down, explaining the decorations as they walked.

Pointing to the empty candlesticks that appear every few meters on the wall, he said to Ulea, "This place was originally lit with candles, which is more in line with... the mysterious temperament of vampires? Many humans say that Of course, it was also because there was no electricity in the past, so we could only rely on that kind of thing. The electric lights were installed a few years ago, because old Evan often needed to go down to sort things out, and it was troublesome to pick up the flashlight."

"Do vampires also need light for illumination?" Uriah asked.

"No," Elphons replied, "we're just using it for decoration."

Yulia looked at the candlesticks and noticed that they were carved with many patterns and even inlaid with precious stones. He reached out to touch them and asked, "When were these candlesticks made?"

"Probably the fifteenth century," Elphons said casually, "the manor was built around that time."

"The fifteenth century." Uriah recalled the scraps of paper she had seen in a history textbook, and said with emotion, "That was really a long time ago."

While talking, they had already reached the last step. Elphons turned his head to Yulea and said, "I have existed longer than them."

"But I look younger than all of them," he said before Yuriah could speak, "so maintenance is very important."

Ulea almost didn't realize that it was a cold joke, so she didn't have time to cooperate.

Elphons didn't care about his dullness, motioned him to look around, and said, "Here we are."

Ulea subconsciously followed his indication, and immediately widened her eyes.

Within his line of sight, there is a whole row of bookshelf-like storage shelves neatly arranged in the basement, but they are much higher than ordinary bookshelves. It was full of things, Uleas glanced roughly, there were paper books, there were also slightly larger collection volumes, he didn’t know what was in them, his sight could only see half of them, no matter how high the place was, he couldn’t see clearly.

Taking a deep breath, Uriah asked Elphonse: "Are these all the books collected by Mr.?"

"Well, not quite."

Elphons led him to walk in, passed through this row of bookshelves, and seeing the scene inside, Uriah finally understood what Elphons meant by "not all".

Behind the row of bookshelves, a larger space appeared in front of his eyes. There was no single row of storage shelves like the row of bookshelves he had just seen, but the bookshelves and the wall were skillfully integrated into one. It was so natural, at a glance, there was not a single grid that was empty.

The middle is not all empty space, but there are many transparent display cabinets, which contain many exquisite utensils. At first glance, I thought it was a museum.

Elphins introduced those "exhibits" to him.

"When I was traveling around, I saw this one by chance in country Z, and I liked it very much, so I bought it." Pointing to the porcelain vase in the display cabinet, he said, "I originally planned to use it as a It was a vase, and things were piled up here later, and I gradually forgot about it. Old Evan tidied up this place some time ago, and when I found this, I was surprised, saying that there was a bottle with a similar shape to it some time ago. Auction, he thought I bought it."

Ulea asked, "How much did the auction cost?"

"Probably tens of millions." Elphons said, "I didn't hear clearly at the time."

Immediately afterwards, he opened the display cabinet, took out the porcelain vase, and asked Ulea in a very relaxed tone: "Do you like it? Do you want to take it back for flower arrangement?"

This bottle is really beautiful, Yulea looked at it for a while, and was about to say yes, but then thought: "But we don't have any flowers to put in?"

"There will be," Elphons said, "I'll give you one flower a day. I heard that human couples will send flowers."

Ulea was stunned: "Don't we have a garden?"

"The meaning is different," Elphons explained, "the flowers in the garden have existed in the past, they grow freely and open freely, and anyone can see them when they go, but the flowers I send you are exclusive to you, only you People can have it. It exists because I like you."

Caught off guard and being confessed again, Uriah's cheeks were slightly red. As a cover, he lowered his head and touched the porcelain bottle, his tentacles were slightly cool, "Then take it back."

"Ah."

Elphons put the bottle aside casually, and took it with him when he went out, and then continued to introduce the things he was interested in to Uriah.

There are also paintings in his collection, hung in order on the walls, covering the collection behind.

Uriah looked at them one by one, and was not surprised to find that Elfins collected many paintings by famous artists who are said to be extinct now. Elphons explained the source to him, saying that he made friends with the painter, and the painter I gave it to him.

Looking at these paintings, Uriah thought of the ones that Elphons had hung in the study, and asked, "Are the paintings in the study above also real?"

"Yes," said Elphonse, "but I bought those."

These paintings seem to have different styles, but upon careful observation, it is easy to find that some of them have roughly the same brushstrokes. Ulea guessed that they were probably the works of the same person, and this guess was confirmed by Elphons.

"They are all the works of a very talented human being," Elphin said, "but he only lived in his 30s before he died of illness, and before he left, he gave these paintings to me. Human Always so fragile."

The last sentence is like sighing, but also like sighing.

Ulea thought for no reason that after living in this world for so many years, Elphin must have seen many life and death. Even like this, he witnessed his friends weaken to death, but he always existed.What will Mr. think then?Will you be sad?

Feeling a little depressed, Uriah turned around and hugged Elphons, and expressed her doubts in the surprised eyes of the other party.

Elphons didn't expect him to think of this question, he thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Is Uriah feeling sorry for me?"

"Yes." Uriah admitted bluntly.

"I didn't feel bad," Elphons said, "but there was a period of time when I felt that there was no point in living, that living wasn't like living, that death wasn't like death, and that life wasn't very interesting."

Ulea's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in a worried tone, "And then?"

"Then," Elphons put his arms around Uriah, kissed Uriah's forehead, and said, "Then I met you, and when I saw you smiling, I felt that it would be good to continue living in this world. "
