Chapter 72: Someone Dumped the Young Lady
Chapter 72: Someone Dumped the Young Lady
Fang Cheng’s life settled back into calmness, though it wasn’t boring since he kept busy.
Each day he exercised his stamina and abilities at home, then trained at the training ground with Takeda Masumi in the evenings.
Though Fang Cheng could now pin Takeda Masumi with one hand, the woman possessed diverse skills beyond combat. Learning everything she knew would take time.
He attended school every other day. After neutralizing the threat from Morishita Yamato, Asaka Akihime resumed classes without any odd behavior. The class notes she shoved at Fang Cheng grew thicker daily – she truly treated him like a younger brother, nagging about homework completion.
His cooperation with Kanzaki Rin evolved too. They now hunted monsters beyond vampires. Kanzaki Rin selected targets and crafted plans, eliminating Fang Cheng’s need for late-night patrols. Wandering blindly risked low efficiency and worse – bumping into Kamikawa Takumi might lead to an idol pummeling his own fan.
“Hey, Senpai!”
Fang Cheng had just left school when Uka Mirai sprang from a corner, grinning. She’d learned her lesson, maintaining an arm’s length to avoid another punch.
Today she sported twin ponytails with a lace chiffon skirt beneath her jacket, showcasing flawless thighs. Fang Cheng’s appreciative gaze wandered until landing on her chest, where his interest evaporated. Having seen stormy seas, still ponds left him unimpressed.
Uka Mirai instinctively covered her chest. His look held no lust, just mild disdain.
“What’s today’s excuse?”
As Fang Cheng walked on, she trailed him: “Just passing by!”
They occasionally messaged online, with Uka Mirai straining for conversation until Fang Cheng escaped via “Shower time” or “Bed now.”
Schoolmates would riot knowing their campus goddess simpered after another school’s boy daily.
“Senpai, isn’t going home early boring?” She fiddled with her ponytail, still angling for an outing.
Fang Cheng ignored her probing questions about Sundays and sweets. When her magpie-like chatter continued, he finally asked: “Why keep calling me Senpai?”
“What else?” She tilted her head, finger tapping her chin. “Help me choose!”
“Any demands?”
Uka Mirai brightened. Nickname exchanges meant progress!
Uka Mirai, Great Victory!
She thought for a moment, feeling a bit shy. “Something unique… like a name that sounds plain but makes people think there’s a story behind it.”
She decided: no matter how absurd the nickname her senpai came up with, she’d stubbornly keep using it. Then she’d make him give her a nickname too—a perfect chance to deepen their bond.
“Plain but with a hidden story?”
Under Uka Mirai’s eager gaze, Fang Cheng paused before replying, “Call me Dad.”
Uka Mirai: (°ー°〃)
Well… that nickname *did* hint at a story, but it was outright insane!!
Her mind short-circuited, utterly failing to track Fang Cheng’s logic. As he kept walking, she snapped back to reality and yanked his backpack. “Senpai, pick another one! Please! Senpai~~~”
Her sugary whine gave Fang Cheng instant goosebumps.
He stopped abruptly. “Do you like me?”
😆😆😆Golden Novel translates the best Chinese web novels for you!😆😆😆
She froze, stunned by his bluntness. While she stammered, he turned away. “If not, stop bothering me. Dating without marriage plans is just playing around.”
“Wait! Senpai!”
She grabbed his sleeve, panicking at the thought of him misunderstanding. Was he the type to skip romance and demand instant answers? How mortifying!
Blushing crimson, she twined two fingers together. “I… kinda like you. A little.”
Fang Cheng studied her hopeful, embarrassed face and sighed. “Sorry. We’re incompatible. Stop liking me.”
“Wha—?!”
She turned deathly pale, rooted to the spot. When she finally blinked, tears welled up. “Why?” she whispered, voice cracking. “Tell me why.”
He glanced at her chest. “You’re too flat. I’ve got big appetites. Our kids would starve. Not compatible.”
Uka Mirai: (⊙_⊙)
She stared at her chest, then at Fang Cheng’s retreating back.
Her brain flatlined, one phrase on loop: *Too small? Too small? Too small?!*
…
Uka Qingxue stood beneath a tree, her maid uniform immaculate, beauty surpassing even CGI perfection, aura icy and pristine. Bodyguards kept bystanders away as she took a call.
“Has Mirai gone to see that boy again?” asked the voice—calm, elegant, conjuring images of a polished noblewoman.
“Yes, Madam.”
“Your surveillance results?”
“The target is Fang Cheng, 17, orphaned, resides in Shizi District…” Qingxue recited his entire history, down to elementary school mischief.
“On the 20th last month, Fang Cheng stumbled into SAT’s operation against the Blood Queen. Likely turned vampire. Countermeasures Department intern Kanzaki Rin failed to apprehend him. They’ve since collaborated repeatedly—he may now be external personnel.”
Such “external personnel” were government-cooperating monsters, usually possession-type.
While Kanzaki Rin’s investigation of Mirai failed, Qingxue had dug up *her* entire life.
“A scheme to approach Mirai?”
“No evidence yet, Madam.”
The Madam paused. “Qingxue. I won’t have Mirai entangled with a vampire, nor him connecting to our family through her.”
“Understood.”
As Qingxue hung up, Uka Mirai tackled her, wailing. “He rejected me! Said my chest’s too small!!” Dog ears sprouted from Mirai’s head, her fluffy tail drooping.
Qingxue stroked the ears, soothing her. A dry thought surfaced:
*Mission accomplished early, Madam. Someone dumped your daughter.*
