What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Xia Libing naturally understood what Zhang Qian meant instantly. He lowered his head and glanced at the big, old backpack in his arms. Even part of the edge of the strap was a little worn and cracked.

This bag was used to hold clothes for her when Xiang Kun helped her bring her clothes to Citong, but later she got used to it and the bag stayed with her.

Xiang Kun's big computer bag is indeed very useful for Xia Libing. It's big and can be packed in, comfortable to carry, and quite durable. She's used to it, and it's better than plastic bags. Used too much.

Xia Libing raised her head and said, "The bag you gave me is very good, but it contains less and is more delicate. I can't bear to travel with it." In fact, she has never used it once. Xiang Kun's backpack is really useful. It was so convenient that she didn't want to change it to anything else. Of course, she knew what to say to make Zhang Qian feel more comfortable.

"Oh, that's right." Zhang Qian smiled and nodded, "I thought you didn't like that brand of bag or that style."

"You have good taste. Nana and my cousin both said you are good-looking." Xia Libing said. This bag was handed over by Tang Baona and Yang Zhener. They did praise the bag at that time.

"That bag is suitable for tall girls with good figures to carry. I also think it would look particularly good on you, Lao Xia." Zhang Qian said with a smile.

Yang Jie also agreed: "Yes, yes, I also looked at that bag when I chose it. It really looks good. And that color scheme seemed to be the last one available at that time?"

"Which brand C bag? Is it expensive?" Xiao Min also asked curiously.

"The price is pretty good. Come on, let me search for pictures and show them to you." Yang Jie said and turned on her phone.

Although Zhang Qian, Yang Jie, and Xiao Min were not people obsessed with luxury goods in the car, they still had some instinctive interest when it came to bags, and the topic suddenly started.

…

On the other side, Xiang Kun, Tang Baona and Yang Zhener sent the little fat girl home.

Shiling's mother, who opened the door for them, said "Happy Birthday" to Xiang Kun and reached out to pick up her sleeping daughter.

As soon as she felt that Xiang Kun let go of her and was about to put her down, the little fat girl immediately hugged Xiang Kun's neck tightly and shouted: "My cake! Don't steal it! Don't steal the egg yolk pie! I'll go first Food! Let me take a bite first!"

Hearing the sound from the room, Egg Yolk Pie, who was strolling out to greet his little master, shrank his neck. He was frightened and was a little confused about the situation.

Shiling's mother couldn't laugh or cry as she pulled off her daughter's chubby hand that was holding Xiang Kunguang's forehead, and then with the help of Tang Baona and Yang Zhener, she took the little chubby girl off with all kinds of tricks.

However, this loud roar woke Liu Shiling up. She looked around confusedly and then subconsciously wiped the corners of her mouth: "Bald uncle, where is my cake?"

Shiling's mother couldn't laugh or cry, half holding her daughter and saying: "What time is it and you still want to eat! You little snack! How fat have you become... With you Sister Nana, Sister Zhen'er, Guang... Xiang... Uncle, say goodbye, brush your teeth before going to bed!"

"Uncle Cake, Sister Cake, Sister Egg Fairy, goodbye..." Liu Shiling said drowsily, her eyes almost closed.

"Oh my God." Shiling's mother couldn't help but want to cover her face. She really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

After sending the little fat girl off and walking back into the elevator, Yang Zhener said to Tang Baona, who was also laughing so hard that she was almost crying: "Nana, you are still laughing at the little bell. I don't know who can even remember her own and sister's names wrong today." of."

Tang Baona smiled and pinched Yang Zhener's waist: "You first need to reflect on why Xiao Lingdang called me and Xiang Kun both cakes, and you are the egg fairy."

Xiang Kun smiled and said, "Nana, we should be lucky, otherwise I would be Uncle Danguang and you would be Sister Danliang..."

"Dan Guang...Dan Liang...I'll go...hahahaha..." Tang Baona was immediately struck with laughter and burst into tears. She laughed so hard that she slapped Yang Zhen'er on the back, making her scream.

Tang Baona and Yang Zhener lived in the same building as Little Fat Girl and her daughter, so the elevator was just a few floors down.

After Xiang Kun said goodbye to the two of them, he continued to go to the hotel. When he left the hotel, Xiang's father and Xiang's mother had just been driven to the hotel by Zicheng and the others. During this time, Zicheng, Chang Bin, Yang Jie, and Yang Zhuo A large group of people, including Xiang Kun and Lao Xia, also stayed in that hotel.

Although it was already very late after returning to the hotel, knowing that his parents were still asleep, Xiang Kun naturally went to their room to say hello and good night.

However, in the room, the parents who always go to bed early are very energetic now, and can even be said to be a little excited.

Dad pulled Xiang Kun and asked him with great interest about the process of starting a company with Zhang Qian, Nana, and Zhen'er. Did they encounter any difficulties in the process of making games? What are the company's funds, channels, etc. No questions or anything like that.

But before I could ask a few questions, my mother interrupted: "Kunna, did you and Xiaoxia... have a fight? Did Xiaoxia get into trouble with you? Didn't you break up?"

Xiang Kun was stunned and couldn't laugh or cry: "Hey~, Mom, why did we break up? We are not together, and Xiaoxia and I have not confirmed our relationship! Please don't talk nonsense!"

But he immediately understood why his mother asked this, because there was a big difference between Lao Xia's behavior today and her behavior when she was getting along with her parents in Citong during the Chinese New Year.

Sure enough, my mother said: "Anyway, I think Xiao Xia seems to be worried and unhappy. Or...does she have something going on at work or at home? Kunna, you need to pay more attention to Xiao Xia!"

Dad Xiang also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Xiaoxia feels like flowers and plants that haven't been watered or basked in the sun for a long time. They are wilted and have no energy."

But her mother corrected her: "No, Xiaoxia still seems to be quite energetic, but she doesn't seem to want to talk and doesn't fit in well with the circle. Hey, Kunna, is Xiaoxia with your group of friends? Which one is contradictory?"

Xiang Kun was also a little bit dumbfounded. Lao Xia's expression today was perfectly normal in his eyes and in the eyes of other people who were familiar with Lao Xia. But after getting acquainted with Lao Xia who wore a "good and lively mask", my parents were not used to this "normal version of Lao Xia" and felt that Lao Xia was having a temper.

Xiang Kun knew that Lao Xia would definitely realize this in advance, and it was not that he had forgotten the "unified version".

If it was only Lao Xia who came to pick up his parents this time, or just him and Lao Xia, then she would most likely keep the same style as when they met at his house last time, and slowly adjust to let the old couple get used to it.

But this time there was a large group of people picking up the plane. If she acted in such a lively and well-behaved manner, it would definitely arouse the surprise and attention of a dozen other people.

So after weighing it, Lao Xia chose to present the "no filter version" of himself in advance.

Xiang Kun thought about it for a while, and then he helped explain with half truth: "Mom, Dad, Xiaoxia is actually like this when she is normal. Didn't you look at other people and didn't think there was anything wrong with her? It was just before Xiaoxia went to our house as a guest, just to please you two elders. When I pick up so many of you today, Xiaoxia is embarrassed to flatter you like she did at our house."

"What kind of flattery and flattery are you talking about? It's a mess. Xiaoxia is called sensible and polite!" Xiang Ma patted her son's shoulder angrily.

However, with Xiang Kun's explanation, most of Xiang Ma's doubts were cleared up, because she also discovered that, indeed, as Xiang Kun said, other friends, especially Xiaoxia's cousin, also behaved very normally. , and did not feel that Xiao Xia was in a bad state at all, which proved that his son was right, Xiao Xia might indeed be like this in normal times.

This did not change Xiang's father and Xiang's mother's attitude toward Xia Libing. They still thought that Xiaoxia was a very good girl.

To put it bluntly, elders have preconceived attitudes when looking at younger generations.

If the little girl says something nice in front of her, she is sensible and well-behaved. If she doesn't like her, she is frivolous and glib. After all, it is not a matter of principle.

After chatting for a while, Xiang Ma talked about the little chubby girl again. As soon as she mentioned the little chubby girl, a smile appeared on her face subconsciously: "Oh, this little bell is really cute. It really makes people look the same." I like it, she talks cute, walks cute, laughs cute, sings cute, even eats cute, it’s so rare.”

Xiang Kun smiled and said, "Children are of course cute."

Xiang Ma rolled her eyes at him and said, "You weren't that cute when you were a kid. You were like a monkey. I got a headache when I saw you and my temples were throbbing."

Xiang Kun could only laugh twice.

"By the way, that Miss Tang is Nana. She is a cute and delicate girl who wears glasses. She is said to be your partner." Xiang Ma suddenly asked: "What is your relationship with her?" relation?"

"It's just a relationship with friends and partners. I'm basically responsible for technology, company affairs, marketing and operations, finance and administration. Nana and Zhen'er help with it, as well as with Mr. Zhang. The docking mainly relies on them." Xiang Kun said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Dad Xiang smiled and said, "You don't know, before you even returned to the hotel, your mother was already here telling me about a love triangle drama! She said you might be working in a company. At that time, I fell in love with Miss Tang, and then Xiaoxia broke up with you very simply. But when we were together again, it was inevitable that she had a grudge in her heart, so she smiled less and didn't talk much today. Your mother I felt so sorry for Xiaoxia just now that I almost shed tears when I said it, and I was thinking about how to beat you, this heartless person."

Xiang Kun looked at his mother speechlessly. His mother's imagination of the eight o'clock TV series could compete with Yang Laosan's Pegasus Xiangkong's imagination.

"I'm not just guessing." Xiang Ma rolled her eyes at Xiang Dad and said to Xiang Kun, "Kun, tell me honestly, does that Miss Tang like you?"

"Ah?" Xiang Kun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, what did you discover again?"

He held out a finger to his mother, paused for two seconds and then said, "Intuition."

"Mom, you'd better go to bed early. I'll take you to the company tomorrow morning." Xiang Kun said, and was about to go back to his room to stay any longer. He had a hunch that his mother would come up with a lot of unreasonable gossip. Infinity left him scratching his head and asking questions that he couldn't answer.

But when he arrived at the door, Xiang Ma couldn't help but said: "Kun Na, do you like Xiao Xia or Miss Tang?"

Xiang Kun smiled bitterly: "Mom, who do you think your son is? Why should I choose between Xiaoxia and Nana? Stop thinking so much and go to bed quickly."

"How could I not think so much? After your birthday today, you are already 31. If this continues... I don't know if I will be able to hold my grandson."

On the other hand, Dad Xiang put his arm around Mom's shoulders and smiled and said, "Don't worry so much. I see, our son has changed a lot now. He talks, behaves, and treats people much better than he did in the past few years. His career is also developing now." That's good. Don't worry about him not being able to find a wife. Whether he's with Xiao Xia, Miss Tang, or another girl, it's all a matter of mutual love between young people. As parents, we just have to support him. .”

After returning to his room, Xiang Kun also sighed a little. A year ago, just a few days after his thirtieth birthday, the company closed down, he lost his job, and then slept for two whole days, and his body mutated.

Unconsciously, a year has passed and he has reached the age of thirty-one, but under the influence of the mutation, his life has been completely changed.

It can even be said that it was not only him whose life was changed, but also Lao Xia, Little Fat Girl, Little Apple, Tang Baona, Yang Zhener, You Meng, Zicheng, Liu Caifu, Liu Gaoshang, Liu Zhengyi , Qi Haoguo, Mr. Liang, Guo Tianxiang, John, Joel and many, many others.

Even in a sense, the entire human race and all biological communities on the earth may undergo huge changes due to his mutation.

And the most critical moment is coming soon.

The next morning, Xiang’s father and Xiang’s mother, accompanied by a large group of people, went to visit “Tengjiao Interactive Entertainment”.

Although Xiang Kun should be dominated by "Qiankun Technology", for the time being, "Qiankun Technology" does not have a decent office space in either Pengcheng or Haixi Province, but "Tengjiao Interactive Entertainment" now has one The weather of a large company. Anyway, through "Qiankun Technology", Xiang Kun holds a considerable share in "Tengjiao Interactive Entertainment", so there is nothing wrong with saying that this is his partnership company.

Zhang Qian enthusiastically introduced the company's situation to Xiang's father and Xiang's mother, and took him to visit various places of the company. This office building occupies a total of three floors, and the other floor has also been rented, and some soft decoration and preparations are being done. , people were coming and going from various departments. Although Xiang’s parents were confused about what was introduced, they could still see that the company was indeed prosperous and about to do big things.

Seeing his parents' expressions of emotion and relief, Xiang Kun, who was following him, couldn't help but think that when he had just graduated and entered that company, he was so full of ambition and imagined that one day he would become famous and take his parents to a big city. Here, he lived in the mansion he bought, and then took his luxury car to his company. Under his introduction, he visited his technologically-rich company layer by layer.

But now, most of his dreams have come true so easily.

He knew that if he was willing, with Alice's help, it would not be difficult to obtain a huge amount of wealth, drive a luxury car, live in a mansion, and have a company that dominates his life.

But for him now, these seem to have become insignificant trivial matters, and they can only make his parents smile.
