The Bright Moon Hangs High, the World Is Like a Painting, Visiting a Vampire at Night (Revised)

The door opened a crack, revealing Shangguan Dandan's two eyes, one up and one down, as she tilted her head and stared at Liu Chang'an from inside.

"Want some mooncakes?" Liu Chang'an handed Shangguan Dandan a soft, white, plump meat bun overflowing with sweet meat juice.

Shangguan Dandan stretched her little hand out from the crack in the door, grabbed the plump meat bun, and then took small bites of it.

Liu Chang'an looked at Shangguan Dandan in surprise. She just picked it up and ate it like that? She seemed no different from an ordinary person, and there was no point in observing her at all.

"This is a meat bun." Shangguan Dandan ate in small bites, but she ate very quickly. Under Liu Chang'an's watchful eye, a large bun disappeared into her small mouth, which seemed to be struggling to hold even a thumb.

"Can you eat like a normal person?" Liu Chang'an found it somewhat boring. It would be interesting if Shangguan Dandan exhibited some kind of anomaly, such as a story about a dead person named Zhou who was resurrected from hell and would vomit after eating food from the living, or some zombies who would feel disgusted after eating roasted brains, or some vampires who would have their wounds healed more if they bought blood packs containing HIV.

"Anything else?" Shangguan Dandan held out her palm.

"Zhou Dongdong has some at home, I'll bring some for you tomorrow." Liu Chang'an wasn't a stingy person. "I thought you only needed to absorb life force and blood essence."

Shangguan Dandan didn't realize Liu Chang'an was trying to get information out of her, but she didn't give Liu Chang'an any useful information either. "I'm a normal person."

"Don't you have some misunderstanding about what 'normal' means? Someone like me is what's normal." Liu Chang'an pointed to himself. "People like you, we 'normal' people call you shut-ins."

Shangguan Dandan was unhappy and slammed the door shut.

Liu Chang'an looked up; the black shadows formed by the swarm of bats had already flown a long distance away.

Although he couldn't be sure if the swarm of bats was related to Mrs. Karnstein, Liu Chang'an still decided to go and take a look, since such a sight was truly rare, especially over a city.

So Liu Chang'an quickened his pace, leaping through low old alleys and streets, passing several rising high-rise buildings, and finally landing on the roof of Baolong Center. From this height and in the bright moonlight, he could see a swarm of bats flying towards the river.

"BIU! BIU! BIU!"

Several jets of water hit Liu Chang'an's back. Liu Chang'an turned around expressionlessly and saw Zhu Juntang hiding in the pool, shooting at Liu Chang'an with a water gun.

"The bright moon hangs high, the world is like a painting, life is so beautiful, why don't you cherish it at all? You just want to die." Liu Chang'an looked at Zhu Juntang with incomprehension and walked step by step towards the swimming pool.

"I... I just wanted to say hello." Zhu Juntang quickly threw away the water gun and swam to the center of the pool, even though such a distance was not very safe for her.

"Is this the way you greet someone because your little skirt and socks are practically asking for trouble?"

"No... no... they're innocent and lively, and they want to live a long time."

Liu Chang'an turned his head to look at the bright moon behind him and the river and Mount Lu under the moonlight. He stopped wasting time arguing with Zhu Juntang and asked, "In this kind of weather condition at night, can a helicopter take off?"

Hearing Liu Chang'an change the subject and no longer seeming to focus on her skirt and socks, Zhu Juntang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously, "I know takeoff is definitely possible! But we can't just land anywhere."

"Then there's no problem. Send me a helicopter." Liu Chang'an pointed in a direction, "I need to chase a swarm of bats."

"I want to go!" Zhu Juntang excitedly climbed out of the pool. Qin Yanan had gone back to see Qin Peng, and they had originally agreed last month that she would take Qin Yanan with her. However, Zhu Juntang suddenly changed her mind at the last minute. Zhu Juntang also wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her cousin to show their closeness, but her cousin also planned to go back to her hometown. So, Zhu Juntang was extremely bored and could only eat mooncakes, play with water guns, and admire the moon in the pool... Now that the most fun-loving Liu Chang'an had appeared, Zhu Juntang wanted to participate actively in his affairs as always.

Most of Zhu Juntang's swimsuits are cute, but the one she's wearing now is an exception—a blue and white striped lace-up bikini. She only realized what was happening halfway up when she saw Liu Chang'an watching her calmly. Her cheeks flushed slightly. "Turn around!"

"There's nothing here." Liu Chang'an nodded, indicating he wasn't nostalgic, and made an objective comment.

Zhu Juntang was somewhat angry. She picked up the water gun and shot Liu Chang'an a few more times. Confirming that she was now of great use, she didn't have time to force herself to put on her skirt and socks. She hurriedly went to change her clothes.

Zhu Juntang didn't spend much time this time, because she just wiped herself down, didn't even fix her hair, changed into her underwear and a simple white dress, and ran out to board the helicopter with Liu Chang'an.

"Where are you going?" To allow the pilots to adapt to the night vision requirements of night flight as quickly as possible, the cabin environment was not bright. Zhu Juntang consciously lowered his voice, maintaining a sense of participating in a mysterious mission.

"I told you I'm chasing a swarm of bats, and they're heading out of the city. But tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people everywhere are looking up at the sky. If I'm jumping around in the air, too many people will see me. So I'm borrowing your helicopter," Liu Chang'an explained, then asked, "Do you have a parachute?"

"This is a multi-engine configuration, not one of those cheap, beat-up helicopters that relies entirely on autorotation to land if one engine fails," Zhu Juntang said proudly.

"Is that what I asked? If I'm going to jump, I should at least wear a parachute to make it look like it, otherwise should I just kill these two pilots to silence them?" Liu Chang'an pulled Zhu Juntang over and said in her ear. Of course, he wasn't worried about the helicopter crashing at night. Wearing a parachute... Besides, if a helicopter really crashed, it wouldn't be able to escape by parachute.

"I want to jump too!" Zhu Juntang's ears itched, and she was very excited.

"Whatever."

"Then you'll have to carry me down," Zhu Juntang muttered. "Like carrying Yaya. I'm not stupid. You mean I have to jump down by myself? I'm sure I'll fall pretty badly."

"She told you about this too?"

"Women can't help but share their romantic experiences with someone. If you don't take me, I won't lend you my plane next time."

"Romantic? You'll be scared to death in a minute." Liu Chang'an thought for a moment, then casually lifted Zhu Juntang up. She was much lighter than Qin Yanan, so it seemed that even a long journey wouldn't cause any delays. He was a reasonable person, and since he needed her help, rewarding her with a unique experience wasn't a problem.

After all, Qin Yanan was much heavier than Zhu Juntang in terms of chest and buttocks alone, not to mention her advantages in height, frame, and subcutaneous fat.

"Do you think I'm a chicken?!" Zhu Juntang felt a little insulted. She knew that Liu Chang'an was weighing her, just like he was picking up a chicken's wing at the market to see how heavy it was.

Zhu Juntang had a very unforgettable experience. Once, she and Qin Yanan went to the vegetable market. Even though she was standing more than 20 meters away from the market, she still felt that it was filled with the stench of various livestock. Qin Yanan even caught chickens with his bare hands in the chicken coop at the entrance without wearing gloves.

From then on, she never went grocery shopping with Qin Yanan again.

"Tell the pilot to maintain this direction, fly to Mount Lu, keep the altitude below 500 meters, then we'll jump and let them return to base on their own."

Upon hearing the word "we," Zhu Juntang knew that Liu Chang'an had truly agreed, and immediately became obedient, giving the instructions as instructed.

The highest point of Mount Lu is only 300.8 meters above sea level. The helicopter flew up and hovered over Mount Lu. Liu Chang'an jumped down with Zhu Juntang in his arms.

Zhu Juntang was just standing next to him, thinking that he would at least say something like "Are you ready?", "Hold me tight", or "Ready, jump". But when the cabin doors opened, he just grabbed Zhu Juntang and jumped out.

Zhu Juntang was completely unprepared. Just as she was about to scream, the strong airflow blew her so hard that she couldn't make a sound. She could only bite her lip tightly and cling to Liu Chang'an like an octopus, unleashing a strength that she could never possess in her usual fairy-like state. It was like the desperate struggle of someone on the verge of death. Even when she landed, Liu Chang'an's casual pull didn't manage to pull her off his body.

"Is it romantic?" Liu Chang'an had no choice but to remind Zhu Juntang to land.

Zhu Juntang groggily came to her senses, but her limbs were weak. She finally let go of Liu Chang'an, staggered a few steps, grabbed a small tree for support, pressed her chest as if to vomit, but ultimately could not vomit anything.

"You... you did this on purpose!" Zhu Juntang stared at Liu Chang'an, panting. It wasn't like Qin Yanan had said at all; it wasn't funny at all!

Liu Chang'an looked up and could just see the shadows of the swarm of bats in the sky, which was obscured by trees. He figured he could catch up with them in a little while, so he sat down and began to massage his legs.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Juntang was a little surprised, because she knew that Liu Chang'an, a superman, would not do such a thing.

"The height was a bit too high, and when I jumped down, my legs absorbed too much impact, and they're a little sore." Liu Chang'an was fine, and he could continue jumping around without any problem, but he's never been an impatient person, so sitting down to rest wouldn't delay anything.

"We really jumped out of the helicopter!" Zhu Juntang knelt down beside Liu Chang'an to rest, seemingly only now coming to her senses, looking up in disbelief at the returning helicopter in the sky.

Liu Chang'an didn't speak, but glanced at Zhu Juntang. Zhu Juntang tilted her head, seemingly unsure how to express herself at this moment, and raised her small fist to start hitting Liu Chang'an's calf.

After smashing her hands for a while, Liu Chang'an pushed them away, but Zhu Juntang persisted and smashed them a few more times. Finally, she regained some of her enthusiasm for the mysterious mission and showed some excitement. "Why are we chasing bats?"

"Bats aren't common in cities, let alone swarms of them. I've seen several swarms of bats recently, and I need to get to the bottom of this today," Liu Chang'an explained. "Maybe it's related to some vampires."

"There really are vampires!" Zhu Juntang pulled her white dress between her legs and squatted down again. "Then let's call this operation 'A Night Visit to the Vampire'."

Liu Chang'an didn't care what the operation was called; he was just reminded of Europe hundreds of years ago, and the movie he and An Nuan had watched together.
