A Trip to the Water Park / A Girl's Feet Are a Gift from Heaven

Lin searched through the intricate alleyways, but clearly found nothing.

It was noon, and all the darkness was laid bare, leaving not a trace of shadow. The girl who could not live in the sunlight was probably in some corner, enduring the bloodlust within her, waiting for night to fall.

Suddenly, a slight stinging pain on Lin's neck, as if resonating with him, made him subconsciously turn his head.

Like black snowflakes, they fell on the scorching summer day.

What are you looking for?

The girl's voice seemed to have a temperature, cool and refreshing against the skin.

There was wariness and doubt in her eyes, but when she saw the bandage on his right cheek, a hint of guilt, like ice melting, welled up deep in her eyes.

"..." Lin looked at the vampire girl under the sunlight. Her long silver hair was even more dazzling in the brilliant light, as if... she was born in the light.

"Human, I ask you, what are you looking for?"

When Theresa saw that Lin didn't answer and was just staring straight at her, she felt a sudden panic and asked again.

Lin's lips moved slightly, and he said calmly, "I'm looking for the entrance to another world."

"An entrance to another world?"

"I've heard that beautiful girls' skirts lead to another world, so I'm looking for a beautiful girl who's willing to let me go to that other world."

"..." Theresa blinked after hearing this, and after a moment she suddenly realized what was happening. Her pretty face flushed red as if it had been set ablaze by the sun. "You, you, you..."

So she actually knows about this stuff.

Lin thought Theresa was completely ignorant of the basics of relationships between men and women.

"You human... a bedbug?" Theresa glared at him angrily, her teeth grinding together, after realizing that Lin was teasing her.

To her surprise, Lin immediately covered his right cheek, half-squatting on the ground and groaning in pain. "Hiss..."

"Hey... are you alright?" Theresa, who was still angry, looked at him helplessly, her hand frozen in mid-air, unsure whether she should help him up.

"It's going to split open! It's going to split open! It feels like half of my brain is falling out! Ah!"

Without hesitation, the vampire girl ran to Lin's side. She swallowed hard and stood on tiptoe to look at the part Lin was covering.

"I... I'll take you to the hospital!"

After saying that, the girl reached out and tried to lift Lin up completely.

However, her hand froze halfway through its reach.

The moment she approached, the black-haired man immediately returned to normal, then squatted down in front of her with a serious expression, his hand reaching under her skirt...

"Bang!"

This time, the head really split open.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Trip to the Water Park

As expected of an artificial human created using Honkai technology, Lin almost fainted from the slap.

A little blood seeped through his bandages, and unsurprisingly, the wound inside had reopened.

Theresa, a half-human, half- Honkai Beast, is not strictly a vampire. She can walk freely in the sunlight and is not afraid of silver. Her only side effect is a strong craving for blood. Otherwise, her strength and speed far exceed those of ordinary people. So, what should we call her?

A fusion of half-human and half- Honkai Beast... let's just call it Flame-Chaser.

"Hey, human, are you alright?"

"Not very good."

Lin shook his head, unable to say whether the fragments of memory in his mind were clearer or more chaotic after being slapped.

Theresa stood in the shadow of a house three steps away, gazing at Lin's right cheek, a complex mix of emotions flashing across her eyes.

"You..."

Before she could say anything, Lin spoke first, "Why were you able to come out at this time?"

"... I can sunbathe all the time. You have a stereotype about vampires, don't you?"

"No, what I mean is..."

You don't seem to be losing control at all, and... your biological clock shouldn't make you incredibly energetic at this time, right?

Theresa understood the unspoken part of Lin's sentence. Although she was puzzled as to how Lin knew her so well, she still lowered her head shyly and explained, "I... drank your blood."

"..."

I see.

Lin's mind raced. He remembered that after he fed Theresa blood last time, her bloodlust had lessened and her mind had returned to normal. So, she should be able to maintain her rationality for a period of time after receiving a certain amount of blood.

But did Theresa take that much of his blood yesterday? Could it be that after Hayashi and Himeko left, she went back and knelt down to drink it...?

"What are you thinking now, you wretched human!" Theresa stomped on Lin's instep, clearly hearing the cracking sound of her foot bones breaking. As she silently crouched down to hug her foot, Theresa's pretty face flushed slightly. "I just drank the blood from my hand..."

Theresa herself found it strange that she needed to ingest a certain amount of blood to feel "full," but last night she only licked Lin's blood twice and regained her senses, as if his blood was of much higher quality than others.

Moreover, from the moment Theresa saw Lin, she felt an inexplicable connection between them.

After explaining, Theresa stared nervously at Lin's right cheek and whispered, "Your right..."

"Want to go somewhere fun?"

"Varied..."

"Let's go to the water park. It just so happens that Canghai City has the world's second largest water park."

Before the vampire girl could say anything, Lin took her hand as a matter of course and led the girl away, who was so shocked that she forgot to resist.

"Do you... do you really know who I am?"

Theresa couldn't understand, she simply couldn't understand this man.

He knew she was a vampire, and that she had split half of his face open after she was done with him, causing him to lose his right eye, but he didn't care at all and even dragged her to some... water park.

Although this season is indeed perfect for going to a water park, and she really wanted to go to the water park she had seen in the book, this was completely inappropriate, wasn't it? Going to a water park at noon with a vampire who had blinded her right eye?

"It's not too late to get to know each other now. What's your name? My name is Lin."

The girl followed the man unsteadily, her hand held by his strong one, as they walked forward.

The light fell on their shoulders, creating a hazy, indistinct, and beautiful effect, like that of an old-fashioned film.

"... My name is Theresa."

"Now that we know, let's go."

Emerging from the shadows into a shower of golden light, the girl followed, bewildered, the man she had only met once, yet who evoked complex emotions within her.

There was no beach, no sea, no parasols...

Save your breath. Even though Canghai City is a coastal city, there are no seaside resorts here. Most people will choose water parks, which are more convenient and cost-effective. As the saying goes, as long as you have the sea in your heart, anywhere can be the Maldives. It's better to make do a little for yourself, your wallet, and society.

Of course, the most important thing for Lin was that he couldn't take Theresa away.

Lin quickly changed into his beach shorts. The bandage on his head attracted a lot of onlookers, but he didn't care much. He then waited quietly outside the women's changing room for Theresa to change into her swimsuit.

"Humans... can this really be worn?"

Theresa's shy voice rang out in the locker room, while Lin, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said calmly, "No problem."

"..."

After a moment of silence, a soft rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other was mixed with a girl's shy sobs.

"W-W-How is it?"

Theresa poked her head out, her original pigtails now down, her long, silver hair cascading down like a galaxy. She asked Lin cautiously yet expectantly.

Do you think the foundation of this house is beautifully done?

"The foundation?" Theresa asked doubtfully. "How can I know if it's beautiful or not if I can't see it?"

Lin nodded expressionlessly. "Yes, I didn't see it, how would I know what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Theresa puffed up her cheeks in anger, but after hesitating for a long time, she reluctantly took small steps and walked out.

Theresa is Xiao Ke. Most people would think she looks like a little sister when they first see her. But once you get to know her, you'll find that she is very mature and doesn't look like a child at all. She is also a very aloof type.

So when Lin saw Theresa wearing the black and white swimsuit that Lin had chosen for her, he was not surprised at all that she could have a "sexy" vibe.

Unlike those swimsuits that seem to shrink so much fabric that only bandages remain, Lin chose a white swimsuit with lots of black lace trim, paired with a matching skirt. With her red lips and white teeth, she looked like a princess straight out of a fairy tale.

"It suits you perfectly."

Lin's praise brought a smile to Theresa's face, who had been rubbing her hands together in frustration, but she quickly suppressed it. Why was she happy about this person's praise? It was so strange.

"Let's go." Lin took Theresa's hand again, but she pulled away.

"What's wrong?"

"I should be asking you what's wrong, human. Who gave you the right to hold my hand like that?"

Faced with Theresa's questioning, Lin stared at Theresa for a few seconds until she felt uneasy, before reaching out his hand again.

This time, he pulled the pretty silver-haired girl into his arms, and while her brain went blank, he walked forward as if nothing had happened.

He glanced discreetly behind him before heading towards the first attraction.

Chapter Thirty: A Girl's Feet Are a Gift from Heaven

Here is a prescription.

Abandon it and you will die; submit it and you will perish.

I reached for the elixir, yearning to drink poison to quench my thirst.

"Sir, your head..."

"This is my personalized style of dress. Are you taking away my right to dress as I please?"

The staff stared silently at the man's half-bandaged face, which looked like it had stepped out of a horror movie set, wondering if fashion art had become this advanced recently.

"No, I mean, are you injured in the head...?"

"If you continue to deprive me of my right to dress as I please, I will have no choice but to post you online."

"..."

Why does this kind of shameless talk sound so familiar?

The staff member's face was twitching, and the other person had already quite energetically taken out their phone to take pictures. He had no choice but to cover his head and say with a headache, "Okay, you guys go in, don't make things worse for me..."

Although he was the one who was contacted when something happened, he didn't want to continue arguing with this person. Otherwise, he felt that he would probably be condemned by people from another dimension before the incident even happened.

Lin led the exceptionally well-behaved Theresa to the back of a long queue. Because the slide was so popular, the crowd was more intense than expected. The crowds kept coming in waves, and Lin and Theresa were almost separated.

So Lin simply hugged Theresa tightly, using his body to block the crowd and prevent her from being pushed out of his reach.

"You..."

Theresa, held in his arms like a little doll, felt her face burning. She struggled a little, but Lin said seriously, "Stop fooling around." Then Lin patted her smooth, creamy back and even caressed her skin without any restraint, which scared her so much that she dared not move anymore.

Or... she herself doesn't really want to break free.

Theresa was startled by her own thoughts. How could she think like that? She had only just met this man, yet she felt incredibly safe and secure in his arms, with a familiar and warm scent.

"What are you thinking, human?" Theresa's crimson, beautiful eyes gleamed in the sunlight. Under Lin's protection, she stood safely in the crowd she had never dared to imagine. "What do you want from me? What do you want to do to me?"

"..."

Lin's sudden silence chilled the otherwise bustling atmosphere.

Some cold water droplets fell on my shoulder, as cold as snow in February, making me shiver.

Theresa, who had been wondering what she was expecting, suddenly froze, the fire in her heart cooling rapidly and becoming even colder than before.

This silence is a tacit admission that he did indeed have ulterior motives.

Theresa couldn't help but feel a sense of self-mockery. What was she thinking? This man was someone she had only just met, and she had not only seriously injured him but also caused him to lose an eye.

What's wrong? Is she fantasizing about men repaying evil with kindness?

"Let me go." The vampire girl's eyes widened, revealing a terrifying expression and sharp canines to Lin, as if she would pierce his neck at any moment.

However, Lin Fei did not let go immediately; instead, she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him even tighter.
