It takes a moment for her to calm herself down . Though the intense pain is gone, there's a dull ache in her soul -- an empty feeling in the bottom of her stomach . She places her hand on her chest as the tears roll out of the corners of her eyes . She breaks into sobs suddenly, not knowing the reason why .  

"Hurts . "

The pain is not physical . There's not a single wound on her body . It's coming from the bottom of her soul . She's yearning for something that's too far away . If she outstretches her hand, there's no one to hold it for her . It's empty and cold . Suddenly, she feels most alone in the world . Why is she feeling this way?

The bond is weak, not overwhelming like before .  She can't sense Fu Sheng as if he's gone from the world . Where did he go? She receives another sting of pain in her heart . She gasps and punches the center of her chest . Then, the pain fades again -- not completely gone . She blinks in surprise . Why?

Does she have heart disease or something?

[Host?]

[Xiao Chun Dan, where were you?]

[Host, I was blocked by the bond . What happened? I see that the bond is weaker than before, but it's not completely gone . ]

She doesn't know either . Fu Sheng told her that he would let her go if she pushed him once . She did and he was suddenly gone . Did that affect the bond? Why did it work this time? In the past, she rejected him many times . Did she not?

[Host, let me have a look . ]

While the system is busy looking into the matter, Huang Qiuyan pulls a bed sheet around herself . Her top was torn away by Fu Sheng earlier . She touches the wound on her neck . Why did he look so sad? Why did he suddenly stop and leave? He was pretty determined to do what he wanted to do .

She's worried about him anyway . She hasn't known him for long, but that didn't seem normal . The sorrow that she saw in his eyes is p.r.i.c.king her heart . She purses her lips . She wants to cry . Why? Her heart is restless . Why? She wants something . What is it? She sighs . What is she looking for suddenly? What's gone? 

She scratches the scalp on her head . Fu Sheng's face before he disappeared comes back to haunt in her mind . The man is a pureblood vampire . How could he have such expression? Why did he show that expression to her? Isn't he a vampire king? s this another trickery? He wants her to feel bad for him and fall for his trap .  

She looks at the sc.r.a.pes of her s.h.i.+rt on the floor .  She won't surrender . Her heart only belongs to him . Ignoring the vague restlessness in her heart, she walks to the wardrobe . Why do her clothes always end up torn away? Can't he remove them like a normal person? The wardrobe is bigger than her bedroom at her mother's house . She sighs . He's a king, alright .  

She walks into the wardrobe, wondering what she should pick up . Hopefully, he won't mind . Well, he didn't mind when she wore his clothes and ran the first time . The man has so many clothes . That must be the reason why he doesn't think once before tearing away clothes before having s.e.x with her .

Insane!

His choices are pretty plain . The coats are only black . The s.h.i.+rts are either blue or black, having the same design . The leather shoes are black or brown .  The quality is top-notched . She sighs again . Does he have a problem with his brain? 

Shaking her head, she picks up a random black s.h.i.+rt . She tosses away the bedsheet and wears the s.h.i.+rt . It's big on her, reaching up to her thighs . It looks like a short s.h.i.+rt-dress . She nods her head in approval when she looks at her reflection . Her skin is paler than the time she was human . Her hair is a bit lighter than before . The color of her eyes has a slight red glint . She looks slightly different from the time when she was human .

She slaps the muscles on her belly . Do vampires get fat? They drink only blood though . How would they get fat? Does blood have fat? 

Fu Sheng and her depression are forgotten .

The mark on her throat attracts her attention . It's faded, nearly invisible . She furrows her brows . Strange! She's sure that it was darker before .  

[Host, I found the answer . It's pretty complicated . Shall I explain?]

"Yes," She replies calmly, though her heart is anything but calm .
