An Xiang's current residence was too far away from her current environment. Considering her current physical condition, the system thoughtfully used her pocket money to call an online taxi.
She was very sleepy, so she leaned against the back of the chair and fell asleep after getting in the car.
The jolting stopped without knowing when. An wanted to be woken up by the driver and opened her eyes in a daze.
Outside the window is a desolate scene, with a few old buildings standing alone among the trees.
I heard that a new district was originally going to be built here, but unexpectedly, the development was terminated due to unexpected circumstances, leaving only this old building forgotten among the ruins.
In the past few years, people have moved around so much that it is difficult to see anyone even during the day. At night, the abandoned playground in the community will automatically light up, making it look so ghostly that no one has the courage to come.
An's parents bought a total of three houses in this community, one with 200 square meters and two with 400 square meters. The two parents originally thought they could make a fortune with the demolition money, but they didn't expect that people are not as good as God. Today, they can only make a living with extremely low prices.
Rent it out at a low price to support my daughter’s monthly living.
An wanted to live in the small apartment on the first floor with its own basement.
She took out the key from her bag and opened the door. The mess she saw made her stop instantly.
The curtains in the living room were tightly closed, and there were garbage and take-out boxes that had been there for an unknown amount of time on the floor. The smell was pungent and unpleasant.
An wanted to block her mouth and nose, so she struggled to find a clean place to put her feet down, carefully closed the door, and stood there looking at the mess in the room, suddenly feeling at a loss.
The system knew that the slow-minded An Xiang could hardly adapt to human life. He looked at the balance in his wallet and said sadly: [Do you need me to hire a cleaner for you?]
An Xiang came back to his senses, shook his head, looked around and found a pair of relatively clean rubber gloves, put them on and started to take care of them carefully.
Time passed by, and the dirty house gradually revealed its original appearance under her careful cleaning.
Although An Xiang worked slowly but in an orderly manner, the system couldn't help but be surprised: "It seems that you are quite suitable for human life." You are not as at a loss as it imagined.
The system's admiration made her move her hands and responded in a low voice: "I do it all the time."
[Why?]
"Family, don't care about me." An Xiang was still not used to speaking, her tone was warm and her words were unclear.
She and her tribe lived in a very spacious manor halfway up the mountain. An Xiang was taken care of by blood servants at first, but gradually, the family felt that there was no need to waste manpower and material resources on useless waste, so they expelled her.
Leave the manor and lock yourself in the dilapidated tower at the back.
The family regarded her as a shame and tried every means to conceal her existence, even if they saw her being bullied by her own clan, they were indifferent.
Anxiang, who lives in a high tower, is like a helpless mudworm floating in the sewer. She must live on, even if her life is not glorious.
An wanted to lower his eyes, temporarily ignore those unpleasant memories, and continue to focus on tidying up the house.
One day passed, the inside and outside were finally cleaned up, and An Xiang could take the opportunity to take a breath. As soon as he sat down, he saw the face reflected in the mirror next to him. It was a completely unfamiliar face, and he was still very young.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and her fingers unconsciously touched her cheeks.
This is the first time An Xiang has traveled through this body to take a good look at her current appearance. Judging from the information given by the system, the little girl is the same age as her, and her facial features are somewhat similar to hers.
She doesn't seem to know how to take care of herself. Her naturally curly long hair is messy and scattered around her waist. Her face is pale and her temperament is weak, like a dodder flower swaying in the wind and rain.
——A bit more fragile than human beings in our impression.
After resting, An wanted to find a small notebook to write down her plans for the future seriously.
She will live in this body for five years, and her savings are not very large. An wants to prepare comics or open a milk tea shop. That is what she often did when she was locked up, and now she can just use it as a way to make money.
Income. Part of the money earned is used for daily expenses, and part is left for the child in the belly.
besides--
She is going out to buy a big coffin tomorrow!
***
After tossing and turning all night, An Xiang got up at dawn and went to the most famous coffin shop in Jiangcheng.
The coffins were laid out in a deep alley in the suburbs, which was deserted and deserted. The old shop looked particularly deserted against the ancient walls and green trees.
The store is not big, with several newly made coffins on display, urns on the wall, and other scattered items.
"What does the customer need? We only accept customization here."
"I want to buy a coffin." An Xiang stared at the carved coffin in the center, her eyes shining brightly.
She grew up sleeping in boxes and wardrobes. If her family made her unhappy, they would throw her into the cellar and lock her up with rats.
An thought that she had never slept in a comfortable coffin in her life. When she was a child, she was particularly envious of her sister's crystal coffin and wanted to have a beautiful coffin of her own.
The store owner stood up to greet him, "This is a double coffin with dragon and phoenix made of golden nanmu. It is best for a joint burial. This one is made of rosewood, with hand-carved carvings on it. You can smell it, and it has a fragrance."
.”
Rosewood feels good to the touch, and its woody fragrance is refreshing to the heart and mind.
"Is it comfortable to sleep in?" The coffin boards were tightly closed, and An Xiang couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. For her, it was important to look good, but it was even more important to sleep comfortably.
The shopkeeper turned his back, pursed his lips, and muttered: "Dead people don't care whether they feel comfortable or not." He then asked, "Girl, are you buying it for your family or for a friend? If you are a friend, I would recommend this..."
An wanted to say: "I bought it for myself." She clenched her slender fingers nervously, and her tone was much slower, "So...is this comfortable to sleep on?" She said with expectant eyes and her breathing slowed down.
Store owner: "..."
Store owner: “…………”
"You...buy it for yourself?" The shopkeeper suspected that he had heard wrongly and couldn't help but ask again.
An Xiang, who was new to the human world, didn't feel anything was wrong.
All she wanted was a comfortable coffin. The store's doubts made her heart tighten. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip, and carefully uttered three very clear words between her lips and teeth: "Can't it?"
"..." That's not impossible.
The store owner looked at An Xiang in silence.
She was wearing simple and casual clothes, and her eyebrows were very delicate and beautiful, but she was a little thin. She stood there quietly, like a lifeless puppet.
He probably has no parents and is sick.
The store owner's thinking began to diverge, and he inevitably felt sympathy for her.
This is the first time that I have seen someone buy a coffin for me in such a long time since I opened the store. As expected, as long as people live long, they can see anything.
The shopkeeper shook his head and came to the first two-person coffin, "This one should meet your needs. It's 7,800 yuan after discount. It's more expensive to rush it. There are all discounted products there, and the material quality may not be as good as here.
Okay, let’s see which one you like.”
The business delivered to An Xiang's doorstep is not in vain, and the store owner still does his best to introduce the products to An Xiang.
Hearing the price, An Xiang hesitated immediately and unconsciously touched the empty wallet in her backpack.
The price of the coffin exceeded her expectations. Although the balance on her bank card was sufficient, it was only enough to sustain her life. If she bought a coffin today, she might have to save money next time.
But……
An Xiang glanced ahead several more times.
This coffin has exquisite patterns, uniform color, and feels great to the touch. Although it is somewhat different from the coveted crystal coffin, it is still likeable.
An Xiang gritted his teeth and made a decisive decision: "I want this double coffin!"
She is now an independent vampire and no longer needs to live under the supervision of her family.
Isn’t it just seven thousand and eighty, I can make it back in the future!
"Okay." The store owner nodded, "You pay the deposit here, and we will finish it in ten days at the earliest and deliver it to your door. Remember to leave your personal information."
An wanted to simply pay the deposit, fill in the address information carefully, say goodbye to the store and walk out of the shop.
The sun outside the house became hot, shining brightly on my shoulders.
The vampires of the new century are not afraid of bright light, but they also hate being exposed to direct sunlight.
An Xiang may be an anomaly. During the days when she was locked in a small shop window, she fantasized about the colors of the sun countless times, and looked forward to walking under the sun countless times and being kissed by the day. However, what responded to her was the endless night.
.
In fact, human life seems to be more suitable for her than vampires.
An Xiang looked at the daylight above his head in the distance, sighed, lowered his head and walked in the shadows.
Suddenly, a car silhouette passed quickly by her side. An Xiang hurriedly dodged. In the blink of an eye, the smooth black car disappeared from the end of her field of vision. She didn't pay attention, stopped a passing taxi and got on it.
The taxi drove away, but a black car not far away slowly stopped at the roadside.
"Mr. Pei?" The driver glanced cautiously at the back seat.
Although it wasn't hot yet, the air conditioner was fully turned on in the car.
The man sat quietly in his position, with his long legs crossed and a serious smile. His eyes were dark and deep under his black hair. His expression was very pale, his eyes were staring deeply out of the window, without saying a word, and there was no emotion on his face.
"It's okay, let's go."
He looked away, and the cold voice echoed in the car. The driver breathed a sigh of relief, slowly started the engine and left.
The man lowered his eyelashes, and a mole hidden in the eyelid folds was revealed. The red mole was not very obvious, and the cold white skin contrasted with it, making his facial features more eye-catching.
**
Ten days later, the coffin shop delivered the newly made coffin to An Xiang's home.
It was difficult to place such a large coffin in the bedroom. Fortunately, An Xiang had prepared it in advance and asked the deliveryman to place the large coffin in the basement.
The basement is spacious and cold, perfect for a nest.
After paying the balance, she couldn't wait to put the mattress she bought online into the coffin, lit two scented candles, and lay down happily in it.
An, who was wrapped in the woody fragrance, wanted to feel the long-lost happiness. Even though he was a human now, his soul was still a vampire in nature, and he had no sense of resistance to the comfortable coffin.
Sure enough, the decision to buy a coffin was the right one.
The more An thought about it, the happier she felt, and she happily rolled twice in succession on the soft cushion.
boom!
An Xiang was so happy that he didn't notice the space, and his head hit the hard wooden board hard.
She covered her hit head and groaned, and the next second she carefully protected her flat belly.
Don't be too happy, don't be too happy, be careful about your baby, miscarriage will be troublesome...
An Xiang kept thinking in her mind, and the system was speechless for a while: "Host, don't worry, even if you damage your brain, it will not affect the child."
An Xiang's ears turned red and he slowly turned over.
——I have decided that when I have money, I will buy a 2.5-meter-wide crystal coffin!
Chapter completed!
