A Guide to Raising a Little Human [Vampire Clan]

Chu Lin still found this statement very strange.

"Don't you find that strange?"

"There's nothing strange about it; it's just a limitation imposed by the laws of nature."

Chu Lin blurted out, "But isn't the reason there are so many vampires now precisely because the laws of nature haven't properly restrained you?"

Alpha was stunned: "What?"

Chu Lin shook his head.

"If a race consists of only a group of immortal old men, then that race is destined to be rotten, lifeless, and dull. All thoughts and decisions will be solidified in a small group of vampires, the first generation of vampires you mentioned who are close to immortality. They will only become more and more tired and more and more ignorant."

"That's why we need fresh blood, we need to reproduce and pass on our heritage, we need to learn, develop technology, and advance civilization. You can reproduce, but the price of reproduction is that it turns those fresh blood into almost disposable tools. All the development of civilization, all the benefits, all the money, basically goes back to the first generation of vampires... I don't think that's reproduction..."

"This should be called offering sacrifices. It's like a bunch of immortal bloodsucking worms feeding themselves by having children."

Alpha looked at Chu Lin in surprise. He had never heard of such a statement before; after all, no vampire would disrespect the first generation of their branch bloodline.

After Chu Lin finished speaking, he was somewhat afraid of Alpha's reaction.

This is tantamount to insulting their entire family... If Alpha gets angry, then he can understand.

"You're right, that's what I think too."

Chu Lin was stunned for a moment.

Alpha sighed helplessly, "But there's nothing we can do, those old fogies just won't die."

Chu Lin fell silent.

Okay, let's leave this topic at that.

Whether you hate it or find it disgusting, if you can't get rid of it, then you can only sulk by yourself, which is really meaningless.

Alpha held Chu Lin in his arms, wanting him to fall asleep as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Chu Lin's thoughts jumped to another topic.

"You're saying that many young vampires are attracted to humans?"

"right."

"Why? Aren't we food in your eyes? Anyway, I'll never like roast chicken, and I don't think roast chicken is cute."

"..."

"It's normal to like vampires because they look a lot like humans. Besides, vampires don't like all humans; they only like the good-looking ones."

Chu Lin murmured, "Those who are good-looking are kept as pets, while those who are not good-looking are raised, drained, and then eaten... I feel like I'm living in a horror movie."

Alpha didn't know what to say, so she simply kissed his cheek to soothe the food's emotions.

Chu Lin nestled in Alpha's arms: "It's okay, I'm not blaming you. You're just a little vampire...you can't change the world."

As he spoke, Chu Lin suddenly looked up: "But you really don't want to drink my blood? Does my blood smell bad? Then aren't you sleeping with something you don't like to eat every day... If it were me, I would throw up. How can you be so kind..."

Alpha was almost laughing in anger.

"Do you really have to compare yourself to a roast chicken?"

"I am a beautiful roast chicken."

"..."

Long ago, after Alpha failed to change Chu Lin's routine, he should have realized that he... had no way to deal with this person.

Alpha then picked out a heartwarming and funny animated movie on the computer, silencing the chatterbox.

Chu Lin leaned on Alpha's shoulder, and as he watched, he quietly fell asleep.

……

"I'd like a hot coffee."

Chu Lin took the coffee from Alpha and was about to drink it when Alpha stopped him.

"Just take a sip, don't drink too much."

Chu Lin then drank half a cup in one gulp, and then returned the cup somewhat guiltily.

Alpha took it and found that the weight was obviously wrong. He patted his head helplessly and then led Chu Lin into the Ferris wheel cabin.

The amusement park normally opens at 8 p.m., but given Chu Lin's schedule, he can't just go home after playing for two hours.

So when he begged for coffee, Alpha couldn't refuse.

After all, it's the last day of the holiday.

This week, he took Chu Lin for a trip around the neighborhood. When asked where he wanted to go, Chu Lin said he wanted to see everything.

Alpha took him to all the attractions according to the schedule: the zoo, the aquarium, the exhibition hall, hiking, and even took him to a concert... Unfortunately, the snow wasn't very heavy, and the indoor ski resort wasn't very interesting, so they ended up going to the amusement park instead.

Alpha looked at the antler headband on Chu Lin's head and the way he happily leaned over the window of the gondola looking down, and found him more and more adorable.

"This Ferris wheel is so slow..."

"It's definitely not as fast as a roller coaster."

"Yes, we can come again sometime. Um, can we come again in the future?"

"Of course, I get annual leave every year."

"Very good!"

Chu Lin turned around and looked at Alpha, who was wearing a headband with little devil horns, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch it.

"These two little red horns suit you so well... Evil Demon King."

Alpha grabbed Chu Lin's hand, pulled him into her arms, and kissed him on the cheek.

He looked at Chu Lin and suddenly remembered an urban legend about a Ferris wheel.

If couples kiss at the highest point, they can stay together forever.

Alpha looked at Chu Lin and asked, "Will you always like me?"

Chu Lin was somewhat surprised to hear Alpha's question, feeling that it was not something Alpha would say.

Why ask that?

"Because humans are very fickle. Studies have shown that human attraction to a romantic partner has a time limit, roughly eighteen to thirty-six months, after which the person may lose interest and want to move on to someone else..."

Chu Lin didn't understand: "In comparison, vampires have such long lifespans, they should be more fickle, right? Maybe you're the one who disliked me first..."

Alpha suddenly sat up straight, holding Chu Lin's arms with both hands, and his expression became serious.

Chu Lin: "W-what's wrong...?"

Alpha: "Why would you say something like that? Shouldn't you let me continue to like you too?"

Chu Lin remained silent for a while.

"I do not want."

Alpha was stunned for a moment, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and didn't know what to say.

After Chu Lin finished speaking, he felt the atmosphere had become a little tense, so he explained, "I'm not doubting you, I just... you should know, I'm human, I can't stay with you for long..."

Alpha's eyelashes trembled, she lowered her eyes, and grasped Chu Lin's hand.

Chu Lin tried to salvage the situation: "Actually, it's been a long time for me. Maybe we can be together for another twenty or thirty years, which is already a long time for me... By then I'll be old, and maybe you won't like me anymore."

Alpha held Chu Lin's hand, as if watching his hand gradually rot, slowly grow old, and turn into withered bones.

In the end, it became a lonely tombstone.

"Alpha, Alpha? You squeezed my hand so hard, are you okay...?"

Alpha regained her composure, looked at Chu Lin, and shook her head: "I'm fine, I know, you're right..."

Chu Lin said earnestly, "I will always like you."

With a "ding," the Ferris wheel announced that they had reached the highest point.

Alpha looked at Chu Lin, then leaned forward.

Chu Lin tilted his head back and gave him a kiss.
