What It's Like Being a Vampire

“Why do I feel like that bald guy singing just now sounded a bit like Jacky Cheung?” This is a girl’s voice.

“I wanted to call you blind, but I also had this feeling. As if, I vaguely saw Jacky Cheung singing.” This voice came from a boy who shared the booth with her.

“I just recorded a video, I’ll share it later in my WeChat circle, to see if people think it looks similar.” The boy said and then opened the video to watch with the girl.

A moment later, the girl said: “I think we both must be hallucinating…”

These two individuals were just under the influence of “Emotional Assimilation”. Watching a video without the effects of emotional assimilation, naturally they would react like that. It didn’t surprise Xiang Kun, he just shifted his attention and continued to “eavesdrop”.

“What’s the name of this song again?” A woman asked her companion.

“He must have mentioned it just now, it’s called ‘Big Husband’, by Jacky Cheung.” Her companion replied.

“It’s really strange, I felt like I was at a concert just now and even heard the sound of symphony. I have never heard this song before, it’s so bizarre.” The woman voiced, filled with puzzlement.

“Look at this, I found the video. It’s Jacky Cheung singing at a concert.” Her companion handed the phone to her.

“Eh? Eh eh? Really spooky! I honestly saw this scene just now, this stage, this conductor, this singer, um, some details are not exactly the same, the singer’s clothes are different, and the looks of that conductor are different too. This is so bizarre! I have never seen this video before, why am I having such a hallucination?” This woman is filled with existential doubts.

She, of course, was also one of the people affected by Xiang Kun’s “co-manifestation”.

While Xiang Kun was eavesdropping on the conversations in the bar, Chang Bin said he was going to the bathroom, so he got up and left first. At this time, one of the people whom Xiang Kun was trying to “eavesdrop” on, and who had been “co-manifested” by him, walked towards him.

“Hey, fortune teller, do you remember me?” A bespectacled, bookish girl named Yang Jie and a handsome tall boy walked over.

Xiang Kun smiled: “Of course I remember, hello Yang.”

“I never expected that you could sing, and also sing so well, I just felt like I was witnessing a Jacky Cheung concert.” Yang Jie said with a laugh.

“Haha, you flatter me, it was just the right atmosphere and the right mood. Actually I don’t have much singing skills, if you hear it again I guarantee it would get on your nerves.” Xiang Kun knew that Yang Jie didn’t just “imagine” she saw it, she really did see that image, because she was one of the ones who had eye contact with him.

“Who is this?” Xiang Kun asked about the tall boy next to her.

Just as the boy was about to introduce himself, Yang Jie suddenly stopped him. Then, she put her arm around his and teased: “Aren’t you a fortune teller? Try to figure out how much information you can get about him.”

Xiang Kun shrugged: “I do fortune telling with a computer, there’s no computer here. But I don’t have to fortune tell. Just using deduction, when you clung to this handsome guy’s arm, he looked a bit disgusted but didn’t shrug you off. And from his physical reactions, he doesn’t seem to mind the intimacy with you. In theory, I should guess he’s your boyfriend. But just now, when you wanted me to tell his information, you deliberately clung to his arm, which is doubtful. So I took a closer look, this handsome guy’s facial features actually resemble yours very much, especially the lips. Plus the intimacy and his age, I can guess he is your little brother, and most likely your full brother. The long National Day holiday has passed, if he were a high school student, you wouldn’t take him out at this time, and you also mentioned last time that you are not local, so he might have come here for University. Those guys over there seem to be students from your college, you and your classmates are out playing with your brother, so I guess he may have been admitted to the University where you are?”

Yang Jie and her brother were stunned. To be honest, when Yang Jie let Xiang Kun “fortune tell”, it was just a casual comment. But, she didn’t expect this guy to really be able to guess it correctly that he is her brother, let alone he also accurately guessed that her brother got admitted to her University.

Thinking back to that miraculous Al+ paper incident, Yang Jie suddenly became extremely interested in that fortune telling software Xiang Kun mentioned that Liu Chuang and him are working on.

“Wow, you’re amazing! I always thought those detective series exaggerated when depicting the intelligence of the lead characters. I never expected the real deal or imagined meeting one in person, this is so cool!” Yang Jie’s brother was sincerely impressed.

Xiang Kun laughed. He thought to himself, ‘I even know your name and which dormitory you live in…’

He, of course, didn’t work it out by deduction, he had a more direct approach eavesdropping.

All the words Yang Jie said to her classmates when introducing her brother were heard by Xiang Kun. If you know the result, it’s much easier to find a few seemingly plausible reasons to explain it.

Just when the three of them were planning to chat more, cursing was heard from not far away. Xiang Kun reacted quickly and rushed over there because he already recognized Chang Bin’s voice.

After Chang Bin went to the bathroom, he heard a notification from his cell phone when he came out and picked up his cell phone to reply. However, he lowered his head without caution and accidentally bumped into a group entering from the entrance.

The person he bumped into happened to be a girl among that group. Although it was just an unintentional collision and no one got hurt, the several boys who entered with the girl gathered around Chang Bin not letting him go, accusing him of intentionally taking advantage of the situation because he was drunk and trying to flirt, all vying to show off in front of the girl.

Of course, they didn’t really take any action, they were just trying to act tough.

Chang Bin knew that there was nothing to compete with these twenty-something or even under twenty-year-olds. If he did, he would just make himself look bad. He raised his hand and apologized repeatedly, stating that it was truly unintentional.

“What are you doing!” Before the bar security came, Xiang Kun pulled apart the young men surrounding Chang Bin and walked up to stand in front of Chang Bin.

“Holy shit, you dare to push me, you’re asking for trou…” The tall young man who was pushed away by Xiang Kun was initially enraged, he wanted to show off in front of his friends since his brother runs the bar. But when he clearly saw that iconic pair of glasses and the bald head, he was literally lost for words at the death threat.

This tall young man previously had a brief encounter with Xiang Kun in a KTV corridor at Tang Baona’s birthday and his neck was pinched once.

After that incident. he originallv wanted to ask a cousin who owned a bar to

avenge him, but his cousin, who always had a wide network of connections and was considered resourceful in his eyes, warned him not to mess with the person who pinched his neck once he got a description of the person, and then shared a few speculations about the mysterious background of that bald guy with glasses.

If it was someone else saying all this, he would just mock them for being spineless, being a coward. But the person saying all this is his cousin, the cousin that everyone calls “Brother Dong”. So, he deeply believed all these saying and thought that the bald guy with glasses is not someone he could afford to mess with.

And what he didn’t expect is, today in his cousin’s bar, he ran into that mysterious guy again.

Not only the tall young man, another young man named “Ah Hua”, who had encountered Xiang Kun in the KTV hallway, also recognized him. Therefore, both of them shut up and instinctually stepped back.

The others in the group, who usually follow their lead, sensed something was off even though they didn’t understand the situation. They didn’t make any more noise and also opened up a pathway.

Not far away, Yang Jie’s younger brother saw this scene, stretched his neck and said: “Sis, your fortune teller friend, he’s not going to get into trouble, is he?

Should we go and help?”
