Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 192 171. Rainy Night, Bloody Water, Assassin (10,000-word chapter, seeking monthly votes)

Liu Dezhu looked at the three bags of blood in the refrigerator, and for a moment, he didnʼt know whether to laugh or cry.

He held the three bags of blood in his hands and suddenly realized that they all had ”Voluntary Blood Donation Site” written on them. Without even thinking, he knew that his parents must have done the same as him: donated blood, then lied about not wanting to donate anymore, and then ran off with the bags of blood.

Liu Dezhu had found out that ordinary people couldnʼt possibly buy blood unless there was a disaster or illness, whether from hospital blood banks or city blood stations. The blood bags they stored were considered strategic materials, with very strict inventory controls.

Therefore, it had to be his parentsʼ blood.

There are irresponsible parents in this world, like Qing Guozhong.

But such parents are really rare.

And the love most parents have for their children often appears somewhat tragic and silent.

Parents might skimp on their own needs to send their children to better kindergartens.

They might eat pickled vegetables and drink thin rice soup to give their children better learning conditions.

They might even sell the house they live in to help their children with a down payment for a matrimonial home and move into a rented place.

This kind of love, though riddled with barriers, is also heavy, and might even become suffocating for the children.

But this is the only way parents can think of, the only thing they can do.

Liu Youcai still couldnʼt understand exactly what the Time Traveler was all about.

The question he often asked his colleagues was, if the Time Traveler traveled back and forth, would his own child age faster than him?

Wasnʼt it too dangerous for his child in the Inner World?

He didnʼt care whether Liu Dezhu had become very capable, but he tried to understand everything related to Liu Dezhu.

Then, in his own way, he tried to understand Liu Dezhu, to support him.

Just like the two bags of blood in the refrigerator.

Liu Dezhuʼs nose tingled when he saw a yellow sticky note on the back of one of the blood bags. ”Son, drink without worry. If it runs out, your mom and dad will go buy more.”

Liu Dezhuʼs nose tingled. Finding these for sale was impossible: his parents were from the working class, and wouldnʼt know anyone managing blood banks.

But as touching as it was, it posed a problem afterward...

Which bag was his own anyway?!

And he must clarify this matter with his parents, he really wasnʼt a vampire and didnʼt need to drink blood!

Based on his estimate, given the volume of conversations between his boss and the holder of the Devilʼs Stamp, the 300CC he had would be enough for a month, if preserved properly.

What he feared was having to cut open a wound every day, not the amount of bleeding.

At that moment, Liu Dezhuʼs communicator in his pocket vibrated. He returned to his room and saw a message from his boss. ”What situation did you encounter, and how did you know someone wanted to kill you?”

Liu Dezhu replied, ”I went to the Voluntary Blood Donation Station to buy blood today, and on the way, I felt a couple watching me. Later, I entered the blood donation van, and through the reflective glass, I saw them moving slowly closer with their hands tucked into their pockets, just like assassins ready to draw guns in a movie.

I was pretty panicked and didnʼt get a good look at their faces before I hurriedly ran away.”

Qing Chen frowned, setting other matters aside for the moment. Going to a Voluntary Blood Donation Station... to buy blood?

What kind of move was that?!

But then again, Liu Dezhu had indeed improved a lot compared to before.

Liu Dezhu asked, ”Boss, do you know who wants to kill me?”

After thinking, Qing Chen replied, ”Iʼve got information already. Itʼs Wang Yunʼs family looking to seek revenge on you.”

”What should I do then?”

”Stay calm and stay home,” Qing Chen replied, ”Kunlun is watching over you. Not wandering around at home is the safest thing to do.”

...

...

Countdown 126:00:00.

6 oʼclock in the evening.

Jiang Xue was bustling about in Qing Chenʼs kitchen, and since it was the weekend, the meal she cooked was especially lavish.

Li Tongyunʼs grandparents were arriving in Los Angeles City by the 8 p.m. train, and Jiang Xue might be too busy to visit Qing Chen for several days. She decided to give his house a thorough cleaning as well.

Knock knock knock, the sound of knocking came.

Li Tongyun wanted to go open the door, but Qing Chen stopped her. ”Donʼt rush to open the door from now on. Itʼs very dangerous outside, and you donʼt know who is standing there.”

Li Tongyun nodded obediently, ”Mm, got it!”

After that, Qing Chen opened the door and was surprised to find Siyi standing outside. Experience new tales on empire

The girl raised a letter, ”Another one.”

Qing Chen froze, somewhat curious. Could the holder of the Devilʼs Stamp actually be trying to undermine him for real?

He thought to himself that when this holder eventually found out, doing this right in front of Qing Chen could really be a huge embarrassment.

”Did you read the contents of the letter?” Qing Chen asked Siyi.

However, the girl seemed not to hear him, her eyes fixed on the meal Jiang Xue had just brought to the table.

Braised pork ribs, shredded pork with green peppers, Mapo tofu, steamed bass, hot and sour chicken soup.

Qing Chen looked at the girl and asked again, ”Um, should I talk to the person, perhaps change the address?”

He had thought that not getting a response, the holder would stop sending letters, so he hadnʼt dwelled on it anymore.

But now this holder was bothering someone else, causing Qing Chen some embarrassment.

Still, Siyi seemed deaf, showing no reaction at all.

Qing Chen tentatively added, ”Or maybe sit and have some food?”

”Sure,” Siyi stepped in without hesitation, brushing past Qing Chen.

Qing Chen: ”...”

So she had her eyes on their food this whole time!

But if you wanted to eat, just say it, why pretend to be deaf and mute!

Siyi didnʼt see herself as an outsider at all, sitting down right next to XiaoTongyun and picking up chopsticks to start eating.
