It was a good plan, but in the end, Hao Ren was too embarrassed to chase Vivian away.
He had said it before, he was a good person. He would not get involved in things that he could not help with, but he would not turn a blind eye when it was within his power to help others. If he chased Vivian away, what would happen next? The vampire lady, who seemed to be living a miserable life, would have to sleep on the streets. Then, just like she said, she would have to spend the night in ruins or graveyards in the wilderness. She would have no food, no water, no home, and no job. If she went to any train station, she would be alerted by the police. She would either be forcibly taken in or forcibly deported … How pitiful.
Most people would not be able to bear to see such a beautiful lady in such a state.
Although Hao Ren felt that a vampire would not end up in such a state, it was hard to say. It seemed that the vampire he had met was not a normal vampire. Anyway, there were no novels or movies about vampires being this stubborn. Not only was she poor and unreasonable, she was also a good lady who loved humans.
However, he did not directly ask Vivian to live in his house for free. He was not a saint, and he had to consider Lily's feelings. So, he could only compromise and let Vivian owe the rent for the time being. When she found her wallet (the chances were slim), or when she found a job and made money (the chances were slim), she would pay it back.
"Is this really okay?" Vivian did not seem to believe that such a good thing would happen to her. She looked at Hao Ren in disbelief. "It might take me a long time to return the money. I'm not very lucky …"
Hao Ren's eyebrows twitched. Look at the vampire lady's expression. She sounded like she had accepted her fate. How bad could she be?
"Don't think about anything else. Just stay here for now." Hao Ren waved his hand and looked at Lily, who looked unhappy. "It's decided! This is my home. At least, I have the final say when it comes to renting. "
He then looked at Vivian. "There's an empty room upstairs. I'll bring you there. Where's your luggage?"
He should have asked this earlier: Lily had to drag a huge suitcase that weighed more than a hundred pounds when she came from another city. This vampire girl could not be so poor that she only had a set of clothes left, right?
"Oh oh, outside!" Vivian suddenly remembered her luggage and hurriedly ran out to retrieve an old duffel bag that was left at the door. Fortunately, her bad luck with money had not spread to her belongings. The large bag was left at the door for a long time, but it was not lost.
Looking at Vivian's luggage, Hao Ren could not help but sigh. He vaguely remembered that when his father was still alive, he would often carry a similar bag when he went on business trips. That bag was passed down from his grandfather.
He swore to himself that he would never see another movie about vampires again.
Just as he was about to go upstairs to help Vivian tidy up her room, a loud rumbling suddenly came from the side. Lily rubbed her stomach awkwardly and stood up. "Mr. Landlord, let's have breakfast?"
Hao Ren looked up at the clock in the living room. It was already ten in the morning. It was such a mess that he almost forgot about the breakfast setting. The only one in the house who could fill her stomach was Rollie!
"Damn it, I'm not even as good as a cat these days." He muttered to himself. Then, he heard Vivian's surprised voice. "Huh? Meals are provided here? Do I need to pay extra? "
The vampire maiden's face was filled with surprise. Hao Ren really wanted to tell her that meals were not provided here and that it was a special time. However, when he saw the blissful expression on her face, he could not say a word. Damn it … It was so pitiful for a vampire to live like this!
Breakfast had been delayed until now. Rather than calling it breakfast, it was more like lunch. So, Hao Ren decided to make his best dish — noodles. Lily looked like an omnivorous werewolf who wasn't picky about her food, and Vivian was so poor that she probably wouldn't be picky about what she ate. She just had to make do with what she could. Of course, before he went to the kitchen, he turned to the vampire maiden and asked, "Vivian, do you … eat normal food? I heard that vampires can only drink blood. They can't digest normal food. "
As he said that, he felt a cold breeze on his neck!
"I'm a member of the Blood Clan, not a low-level vampire," Vivian corrected him seriously. Then, she scratched her face in embarrassment. "Other members of the Blood Clan can only digest blood, but I can eat normal food. It can't be helped. These days, humans and animals alike, are plagued with strange diseases. If I accidentally drink unclean blood, I'll have diarrhea for a few days. Before I drink blood, I have to check if the target has a health certificate. Sometimes, those with a health certificate might have gotten a fake one … I can't stand it. I haven't touched blood for years."
Hao Ren was speechless.
Just as he was about to enter the kitchen, a loud ringtone came from the sofa. Lily rushed over to take a look. She raised Hao Ren's small Nokia color screen phone that was almost five years old and shouted, "Landlord! A phone! It's a very strange number! "
Hao Ren ran over and took the phone from her. He was still wondering what kind of strange number it was, but he was dumbfounded. The caller ID was a string of numbers: 00000012345!
Was there such a number in this world?
The monotonous ringtone continued to ring. The strange caller ID was clearly displayed in front of him. Hao Ren could not help but pinch his face to make sure that he was not mistaken. He was not sure if it was an illusion, but the ringtone was getting louder and louder. It felt like it was coming from all directions. He felt that the phone in his hand was getting hotter, and the ringtone was getting faster and faster … His sixth sense, which he had developed since he was young, was getting restless. He instinctively felt that the call was unusual.
As if possessed, he couldn't help but press the answer button and put the phone to his ear. "Hello? How are you? "
A very pleasant but somewhat noisy female voice came from the phone. "Hello? Hello? Hello? It's Hao Ren, right? "
"Uh, it's me," Hao Ren said as he tried to recall when he had leaked his phone number. At the same time, he tried to recall when he had met a woman with a similar voice, but he could not remember. "Who are you?"
"Don't worry about it for now," the strange woman on the other side of the phone said loudly. She seemed to be on the phone in a very noisy place, and he could vaguely hear a strange whistling sound. Maybe she was at a construction site. "I'm from Shi … Oh, an import and export trading company. You submitted your resume for a job two days ago, right? I'm informing you to come for an interview this afternoon. "
An import and export trading company? Hao Ren was stunned, and then he remembered that there was such a thing. When he decided to go out to look for a job, he did submit a lot of resumes, but basically, he was just trying his luck. After all, he did not have much work experience, and he was not a graduate of a famous school. He had been hit by a wall for a whole day, and he did not have much hope in submitting his resume. However, he did not expect that someone would ask him to come for an interview today, and it sounded like it was from an impressive unit — an import and export trading company?
Was he going to get lucky?
However, he glanced at the two new tenants in the living room. Back then, he submitted his resume for a job because he could not afford to rent out his apartment, and he had no choice but to do so. But now, it seemed that he had tenants …
Well, these tenants were not very reliable. One was a stupid werewolf, and the other was a poor, starving, stubborn vampire. Not to mention anything else, it was incredible that their species could honestly pay his rent. He felt that he could not continue to place his hopes on his rental business.
At this time, the woman's impatient voice came from the phone again. "Hey! Are you still listening? I'm informing you to come for an interview this afternoon! "
Hao Ren thought about it and nodded. "Okay, I'll go in the afternoon."
The strange woman gave him an address that did not sound too far away, and hung up the phone.
Hao Ren stared blankly at the phone that showed "Call time: 0 minutes, 0 seconds." He then switched to the call log.
It was blank, as if the number 00000012345 had never appeared.
