A Guide to Raising a Little Human [Vampire Clan]

Human breeding center.

The smell of disinfectant was largely dissipated by the wind blowing from the top floor.

A human boy wearing a white lab coat stands on a rooftop, with a woman kneeling in front of him.

The woman slipped a miniature cat plush toy into the boy's hand.

"Lin means grace or favor. Your name is Chu Lin."

The five-year-old child couldn't understand what grace was, nor did he know why this woman was crying in front of him.

The women in the human breeding center had bellies that swelled and shrank, and they aged quickly. The woman in front of him, who claimed to be his mother, was the same.

My mother only appears occasionally, and each time she does, she's a little thinner and her complexion is a little duller; only her belly is big.

"We must resist, we cannot remain silent... we must fight..."

Chu Lin listened to the woman's words, seemingly understanding but not quite, and replied, "Okay."

The woman shook her head again, looking at Chu Lin with her dull, tear-filled eyes: "Lin, do you want to go with your mother?"

Chu Lin nodded and reached out his hand to his mother.

"Drip—drip—drip—"

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded all around them, and "people" kept approaching them and shouting at them. Chu Lin heard his brother, who drew blood from him every day, calling out his number.

But Mom seemed to have suddenly changed her mind. She pushed Chu Lin hard, shoving him away from the edge of the rooftop.

"sorry."

After saying those three words, she turned around and, without the slightest hesitation, jumped off the rooftop.

Soon, Chu Lin seemed to hear a muffled thud, followed by screams and arguing from who-knows-where.

Chu Lin took a few steps forward, peeked out, and saw his mother lying motionless on the ground downstairs, as if she were watching him.

Chu Lin took a few more steps forward, and just before he was about to fall, a hand grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"She is dead."

Chu Lin turned his head in surprise and found a very tall man with blue eyes, wearing a somber black suit, and someone holding an umbrella for him.

Because he was saying the same things as his mother, Chu Lin asked him, "What does 'dead' mean?"

Ians, however, assumed he was asking why and casually replied, "If you can't think straight, you die."

He took Chu Lin's hand and took the kitten plush toy from his palm. There was a small zipper on the toy's belly, inside which was a note with a name written on it.

Ians read aloud, "Chu Lin."

Chu Lin looked up and asked in quick succession, "You know me? Why do you know me? Who are you?"

Ians shoved the small pendant back into Chu Lin's hand, his tone somewhat impatient.

"Don't make a sound, come with me."

Chu Lin shut his mouth, feeling a little aggrieved. Because he was still angry, he refused to follow Ians no matter how much they pulled him.

Ians had no choice but to pick Chu Lin up: "Just call me Father."

"Father."

"...He is a priest."

"Waaah..."

"what ever."

Chu Lin leaned on Ians's shoulder and suddenly felt a strange discomfort.

As he passed through the cordon, he still wanted to see his mother, but Ians covered his eyes with his black-gloved hand.

Chu Lin gripped the little doll in her hand tightly, and couldn't help but secretly shed two tears.

……

"Brother Lin, wake up."

Chu Lin opened his eyes and first saw Xiao Bai's smiling face, then realized that he seemed to be holding something in his palm.

"What is this...?"

He raised his hand and glanced at the white rabbit keychain, seemingly puzzled as to why this thing, which was hanging on his backpack, was here.

Xiao Bai seized the opportunity to complain: "It was Xiao Hei. He took this apart yesterday to throw it away, and I managed to pick it up with great difficulty..."

Chu Lin casually stuffed the pendant under his pillow, next to the knife: "Hmm, I'll hide it then."

Xiao Bai nodded in satisfaction.

Chu Lin casually patted Xiao Bai's head.

Then, I got up, washed up, changed my clothes, and looked around the nearby rooms.

Little Whitey followed him around like a tail, talking nonstop.

"Brother Lin, his house only has a TV. I'll go steal the remote for you."

"Brother Lin, here, have this for breakfast... These little cookies are really delicious."

"Brother Lin, that vampire is coming back soon. Stay away from him; he's still carrying a lot of resentment from just getting off work..."

Before Chu Lin could realize what those words meant, he heard the sound of the door opening.

He leaned over the second-floor railing and quietly looked down.

"I'm back……"

Bush changed his shoes, slumped onto the sofa in a very dejected manner, then suddenly sprang to his feet and locked his gaze on Yu Ci, who was waiting for him in the living room.

"Little Black, why are you so aloof? Why don't you come over and give me a kiss?"

"Don't you welcome me home?"

"Hmm? Say something. Why do you stop talking when you encounter a difficult question?"

Yu Ci couldn't understand the vampire language, but she didn't run away. Instead, she walked up to Bush.

Bush happily patted his head, pinched his cheeks, and finally hugged Yu Ci tightly, treating him like a heated pillow.

"I'm so tired today..."

Yu Ci endured for about three minutes before finally pushing away Bush's head that was leaning in.

"Ah, Xiao Hei, your temper is getting worse and worse..."

Bush grabbed Yu Ci's collar to prevent him from escaping, then commanded him, "Put your arms out."

Yu Ci should have understood the meaning of this command this time, and obediently stretched out his arm.

Bush took a bite out of Yu Ci's bare arm.

"Hmm!"

Just as Chu Lin was about to speak, Xiao Bai covered his mouth from behind.

Thin streaks of blood slowly flowed down the bite marks. Chu Lin saw Yu Ci turn her head, a pained expression on her face.

The act of having one's skin bitten open and drawn blood is incredibly painful, no matter how sharp the fangs are...

Fortunately, the eating only lasted for a short period of time.

Bush quickly cleaned up the wound on Yu Ci's arm and put on a band-aid. Then he patted Yu Ci's head with great satisfaction.

"Alright, go play with your human friends. I'll make you breakfast later."

After Bush left, Yu Ci got up and slowly walked up to the second floor, where she saw Chu Lin standing at the top of the stairs, looking frightened.

Yu Ci looked up at him: "What's wrong? Haven't you ever had your blood sucked?"

Chu Lin: "...Yes."

Yu Ci: "What's so strange about that?"

Chu Lin was momentarily speechless.

Because it's been a long time since I've seen this scene...

"Of course I'd be scared," Xiaobai said, putting a hand on Chu Lin's shoulder. "It's so inelegant..."

Yu Ci sneered: "What is elegance? Drinking blood in a wine glass?"
