Chapter 17: The Holy Chocolate Festival

  "Lily, why is that one so excited?" pointing at the one who was even more eager than Lantang.

  Lily glanced faintly at a humming Taro, then silently stared at me "Don't know, Aoi Sakura, chocolate."

  "Alright, I'll give it to you when we get back to the dorm." She nodded and prepared a lot of chocolates. Although Valentine's Day is a day for giving chocolates to boys, it seems that girls can also exchange them with each other, like friendship chocolates.

  "Hmm..." Looking at Lili, she silently nodded and gently hugged me in her arms. I felt a little happy, I like the people from the Night Department.

  "Ah! I want some of the chocolate that Sakuragi made too!" The sharp-eared Rukawa immediately rushed to the front of the girl who was being hugged, afraid that he wouldn't get any.

  "Why does Aoi Sakura have to give it to you." Riko shoots a hostile glare.

  "What! No why, I just want to!" Lantang was momentarily speechless, then suddenly became furious.

  I silently raised my hand while being held and watching their scramble... "I also want to eat handmade chocolate."

  "I'm all set." Lily took out a small, exquisite gift box from her pocket and placed it in my hand.

  Looking at the exquisite gift box, the aroma of chocolate wafted out... "Lily, thank you, I like it very much."

  "What! Sakuragi is waiting for me, I'll go make handmade chocolates right away!!" Aodou looked at the girl with a slightly red face and a happy smile as she ran out like she was stimulated "She's just as cute as young Hozuki-sama!!"

  …………

  ………

  Every location is marked with the name of a male student from the night department, and the girls are queuing up. I couldn't help but feel that it's a grand day, just like it's specially for the male students from the night department.

  "I'll be the first!" Blandor rushed out faster than anyone else at this time.

  "Wait, Blue Tang!" Ueki tried to stop the disciplinary-breaking Blue Tang, and of course, was very concerned that her brother would be stopped.

  "Lan Tang, you must be elegant in your demeanor."

  "Ah, yes, the head of the Kyoran dormitory." Aodou was so excited to hear that he had received more chocolates than anyone else, but at times like these, he would always be scolded by Sukuna.

  Scanned the crowd and found Zero, who was looking unimpressed. Felt the chocolate in my pocket and knew I had to hurry up and give it to him, or else I'd have to wait until tonight.

  "Hei Zhu Tong Xue, please accept this." A boy suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a chocolate and bowing.

  Yuki looked around and saw a distant Ukiyo-e painting, seemingly not calling out to her. "Is this for me?"

  "Yes, here you go."

  "Thank you."

  Took away chocolate from his hand, couldn't help but feel happy, can eat a lot of sweets.

  "It's nothing." He looked at him with a red face and gave him a strange look, tilting his head strangely.

  "Miss Huaiying, what kind of food do you like to eat?"

  "Sweet things and delicious things."

  "Ah, hobbies are cute too!"

  …………

  ………

  "Sorry, I can't hold any more." Holding a towering pile of chocolates, he looked apologetically at the girl with expectant eyes.

  "No, thank you, Kurenai-senpai" Hearing herself being called senpai made her feel a little happy, although it might seem strange to others that someone younger than her was calling her senpai.

  "Hibiscus, you've received a lot of chocolates, haven't you?" A smiling face approached.

  "One piece, received a lot of chocolate." Looking at the one piece that had more chocolate than I did, I felt grateful to have grown up and be able to carry many things.

  "Kaito, go back." Hearing Akira's voice, he turned his head and saw his brother holding several chocolates.

  "Uh-huh..." Holding onto the chocolate, she nodded silently and walked towards Jiao.

  "Goodbye, Yuuki."

  "Ah, goodbye, Principal."

  Quietly watching the interaction between brother and Youki, as long as brother is happy.

  "Wow! Ah! Wait, zero!"

  "Jiulang student."

  A beautiful arc threw a green packaged chocolate into the brother's hand, and the brother took a look at the chocolate in his hand to confirm who sent it.

  "Thank you, Yuuki." Kuranosuke smiled warmly at the disheveled Yuuki, looking at the displeased and gritting Blue Dou with some confusion. Zero had clearly meant well in saying... [The person who forgot to give chocolates is in trouble]

  …………

  ………

  "Lily, this is for you." He handed her a pink-wrapped chocolate.

  "I will treasure it." For some reason, I was hugged again.

  "Rantō, Shu Kui, one Ruka. These are for you." Handing them the differently colored wrapped chocolates.

  "Wow! None of you are allowed to grab it!!" Lan Tang's eyes sparkled as he stared at the gift box, and then immediately puffed up his fur, threatening others, receiving a unanimous look of disdain from everyone.

  "Ah, thank you." Chaki received the chocolate with a listless and sleepy expression.

  "Thank you, Kurenai." A message with a sunny smile...

  "Why give it to me? Whatever, I'll just accept it then." A bewildered Ruka.

  She sneaked a glance at her brother, whose expression was very gentle. Her brother's mood should be good now. "Jiao, can I have this?" From behind his back, he pulled out a cobalt blue packaged chocolate gift box tied with snow-white ribbon, giving off a refreshing feeling.

  "Ah, for me? Thank you, Kurenai." The gentleman was surprised for a moment, then smiled and accepted my chocolate. If everyone else's were friendship chocolates, then brother's would be love chocolates, I suppose?"

  "No, I'm very happy to be back..." She lowered her head in embarrassment, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, and took a few steps back, looking around at the empty room with a puzzled expression.

  Lily and Lando are nowhere to be found... However, one of them is still savoring the chocolate they received with a card attached, humming a tune.

  Ran into something hard in the pocket, took it out curiously, a silver-wrapped chocolate gift box... The card reads "Zero, Happy Chocolate Day" "Ah... forgot..."

  "Kurenai, where are you going?" My body stiffened, and I turned my head to find my brother with a shining smile. The Night Department can't go out at night... but after 12 o'clock, it's no longer Holy Chocolate Day...

  "I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back." The aimless wandering towards the door suddenly turned into a sprint.

  Jiulang glanced at the girl who had run out of the broken door and disappeared, his mouth involuntarily curling up, making his already stunning face even more captivating.

  "Ah, Kaito and Akira have both run off somewhere, I wonder where they've gone?" A beautiful emerald-green eyed gaze was filled with amusement, it was unclear whether it was due to the excitement of receiving many chocolates or because the occasional cute expressions of that girl had tickled his funny bone.

  "She went to find Cong Sheng classmate, on the chocolate gift box written his name." Leng Xia lowered her head and turned a page of the book.

  "That girl is a dazzling existence for us vampires." One of them said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.

  "She has qualities that everyone can like."

  "Yes, it's just like Zhū."

  The two of them exchanged a glance, with something inscrutable in their eyes that perhaps only they could understand.

  I took a look around and didn't see the dormitory brother's figure, nor did he come to catch me, this undisciplined student who ran out randomly.

  …………

  ………

  The stable, the rooftop, even by the pool have all been searched, but there's no Zero...

  “…Akane?” Feeling himself becoming more and more bloodthirsty, Zero had thought of a place with no one around, but instead saw the girl with brown long hair standing not far away from him, looking very anxious. He unintentionally called out her name.

  Hearing a familiar voice, I turned around and saw Zero standing beside me with a somewhat dazed expression. "I've finally found you."

  "Looking for me?" A hint of puzzlement flashed in Ling's eyes.

  "Ah, today is St. Chocolate Day, so I'm giving you this..." From the snow-white school uniform, she pulled out a chocolate box wrapped in silver wrapping paper and tied with sky blue ribbon, which looked very similar to her brother's packaging.

  "This is the chocolate for Rei, I made it myself, should be delicious right?" Rei took the chocolate from the girl's hand. Made by herself? As long as it's not as terrible as Yuuki's cooking (referring to Yuuki's cooking when she was 9 years old).

  "En." Zero glanced at the girl, who also gave Jiulian a nod.

  "......Huh? Zero, why do you hate vampires so much?" This question is more accurately directed at him, I'd like to know why he hates us vampires.

  “…………”

  "Don't you want to say?"

  "Vampires are all beasts wearing human skin." Beasts? Why beasts? Some looked at him with incomprehension.

  "Oh no! Zhēng Shēng Líng, you actually spoke ill of us at Huī Yīng's place! What do you mean?!"

  Startled, he stared at the blue hall that suddenly popped out of nowhere, seemingly as furious as ever...
