Chapter 3: I Have No Plans for a Relationship

Fang Cheng suddenly sprang back to life, leaving Kanzaki Rin’s mind blank for an instant.

She had stabbed the silver dagger into his chest—why was he still alive?

Silver was a sharp weapon against vampires. Higher-level ones might ignore it, but for low-level vampires, especially a newbie like Fang Cheng who’d just transformed, it was lethal on contact.

Confident he’d die, Kanzaki Rin had relaxed after driving the dagger in. His revival caught her off guard.

Dazed for a moment, she snapped back to focus.

But it was too late. Fang Cheng tackled her, wrapping around her body like an octopus.

Kanzaki Rin’s hands and feet were agile and powerful. She wrenched his elbow joint outward, trying to break free.

Fang Cheng, remembering the earlier lesson, clenched his teeth and held on despite the pain.

They rolled across the living room, panting heavily.

The fight ended quickly. When Kanzaki Rin broke one of Fang Cheng’s arms, he yanked the dagger from his chest and pressed it to her neck.

Both froze, faces inches apart, breaths mingling.

No hint of romance—only fury in their locked gazes. Fang Cheng’s sweat dripped onto her face.

Not from exhaustion, but the agony of his shattered arm.

Kanzaki Rin bit her lip, mind racing for a plan.

…

Ten minutes later, she lay tied on the sofa with turtle shell binding.

Fang Cheng, now clothed, glared down. The number in his vision remained 3.

Kanzaki Rin had thought she’d taken him out, but the dagger had missed his heart. The wound healed once removed.

He loomed over her with a baseball bat, wolf eyeing prey.

Her lips pressed thin, she stared back defiantly.

Her attitude infuriated him. Who was the intruder here?

His healed arm still throbbed.

He jabbed the bat into her stomach repeatedly, making her gag. Then he whacked her head. *Thud. Thud.* “Name?”

Two lumps rose on her skull. She didn’t scream. “My teammates outside will come for me.”

“Teammates? I get four just by starting a game.”

Studying her face, recognition struck. “Kanzaki Rin? Class 2-A, Kashima High?”

She stiffened. “How do you know?”

They were classmates.

He attended Kashima High too—same grade, different class.

Kanzaki Rin was Kashima High School\’s renowned beautiful girl, consistently topping both \"Most Desirable Female Classmate\" and \"Ice Queen You Wish Would Scold and Step on You\" rankings since enrollment.

No wonder she seemed familiar earlier. Fang Cheng hadn\’t recognized her immediately due to the original owner\’s chaotic memories.

\"How would I know?\"

Fang Cheng snorted. \"I wrote you several love letters. That\’s how.\"

Truth was, Kanzaki Rin had been one of the original owner\’s secret loves. Her photos still hid in a \"study materials\" folder on his computer – the kind every guy understands.

Fang Cheng nearly groaned. The woman who broke into his home at midnight to burn his butt with flames was actually his secret crush. Could anything be more clichéd?

Kanzaki Rin\’s eyes widened at the love letter revelation. More shocking was Fang Cheng\’s blunt confession.

For any other boy, this unrequited secret love would be black history – something to deny forever. But Kanzaki Rin genuinely didn\’t remember. She received dozens of daily love letters – enough to sell by the kilogram each semester. She never opened them, let alone remembered senders.

Their classmate relationship relieved Kanzaki Rin. She\’d been struggling to find an escape route.

\"Thank you for the letters.\" She softened her tone, forcing gentleness. \"But I\’m not interested in dating now.\"

Fang Cheng nodded. \"Should we skip to marriage then?\"

Kanzaki Rin: \"…\"

Is this guy mentally ill?

Reading her expression, Fang Cheng feigned surprise. \"Can\’t take a joke? Who\’s crazy here?\"

Kanzaki Rin\’s jaw tightened as blood pounded in her ears, chest constricting.

Thwack!

Fang Cheng\’s stick struck her head again, raising a new swelling.

\"You…!\"

\"Me what? Explain! Why break in? Why burn me? Wait – how\’d you make flames? Are you human?\"

Fang Cheng rapid-fired questions. He needed answers to sleep tonight.

\"Who\’s the inhuman one?\" Kanzaki Rin retorted through her headache. \"Should I explain your healed chest wound?\"

Fang Cheng\’s breath caught. The vampire bite was recent. How did she know? The street cameras had been destroyed.

\"How?\"

\"My drone monitored you.\"

Fang Cheng grimaced. He\’d noticed drones during his return – never imagining they were hers.

Kanzaki Rin continued, “You’ve been turned into a non-human by a vampire. I’m here to retrieve you.”

Fang Cheng snapped, “What’s my vampirism got to do with you?”

Kanzaki Rin didn’t get angry, instead fixing him with a look reserved for idiots. “Don’t you know about the Disaster Countermeasures Department?”

Fang Cheng froze. Having just arrived in this world recently, his memories were still fuzzy. After straining to recall, fragments about the Disaster Countermeasures Department surfaced.

To combat supernatural monsters, various governments had created specialized agencies.

Area 11’s organization was called the Natural Disaster Countermeasures Department—shortened to Disaster Countermeasures Department—tasked with handling supernatural incidents.

This high-ranking department maintained its own armed force separate from police and military: the SAT Mobile Unit, evolved from Area 11’s anti-terror squad. They could detain citizens for 48 hours without cause, overriding normal criminal procedures.

The soldiers Fang Cheng had fought alongside against vampires were likely SAT operatives.

If Kanzaki Rin truly belonged to the Disaster Countermeasures Department, her actions were legally justified.

Fang Cheng also vaguely remembered online rumors about Department agents wielding supernatural powers. Without this prompt, he’d never have dredged up these details from his host’s decade-old memories.

“You’re really from the Department?”

Fang Cheng eyed her skeptically. “Aren’t you just a high school student?”

Since when did the government hire minors?

Kanzaki Rin mirrored his suspicion. “Are you joking? I’m an intern.”

She suspected he was mocking her with obvious questions.

Thankfully interns weren’t issued firearms—she might’ve shot this infuriating guy otherwise.

Kanzaki Rin’s words reminded Fang Cheng about the Department’s confidential intern program for cultivating talent.

This complicated matters. If she’d been a common burglar, he’d have subdued her without hesitation.

But her official status meant kidnapping a government operative would bring severe consequences.

After a tense pause, Fang Cheng demanded, “What happens if you take me in?”

He studied her eyes for deception.

Kanzaki Rin met his gaze evenly. “With no offenses recorded? You’ll probably be imprisoned.”

“Imprisoned for existing?”

“Vampires must attack humans to survive. Containing you is necessary.”

Fang Cheng bristled. “Why attack? Can’t I buy blood?”

Though currently feeling no thirst, he assumed donated blood or even pig’s blood could suffice. He’d always enjoyed pickled cabbage with pig’s blood vermicelli.

Kanzaki Rin fell silent. She’d never considered alternatives.

Even if blood could be acquired legally, authorities would never permit a vampire loose among civilians.

The awkward silence shattered when Kanzaki Rin’s collar communicator vibrated—an incoming call.

Fang Cheng spotted the movement and grabbed the buzzing device.

Tension spiked.

This confirmed Kanzaki Rin’s teammates were trying to reach her. Fang Cheng faced three terrible options:

Release her and face capture?

Kill her and incur the Department’s wrath?

Flee and become a fugitive?

All choices repelled him. His face darkened as no alternatives emerged.

Kanzaki Rin’s heartbeat hammered like war drums. Her life hung on Fang Cheng’s next decision.
