Eve’s Farewell

As Eve gazed at Su Ran, her own tender and perfect face was likewise reflected in his eyes.

The radiance she exuded left Su Ran in a bit of a daze.

Having been with Eve day and night for so long, it was the first time Su Ran noticed that her gaze seemed to contain complex emotions.

His lips trembled slightly, but when the words reached his mouth, he held them back, not saying a word.

Perhaps only he himself knew what he wanted to say.

Seeing no response from Su Ran, Eve withdrew her gaze and turned to walk toward the kitchen.

Just a short moment of eye contact had stirred a feeling of reluctance in her.

She needed a moment to collect her thoughts.

Taking a deep breath, Eve tried to calm her inner turmoil.

She turned her back so Su Ran couldn’t see her expression, striving to make her tone normal and relaxed, “It’s still early. I’m going to the market, I’ll be back in a bit.”

With that, Eve walked out the door, leaving Su Ran’s room.

In the empty room, only Su Ran remained, looking in the direction Eve had left, feeling as if she were so far away from him.

Eve’s two-day vacation passed quickly.

For these two days, she basically stayed in Su Ran’s apartment, almost never leaving his side.

This also meant that for these two days, Su Ran didn’t dare to take off his hat at all.

He could only take it off for a breath of fresh air when Eve went back to her room.

In truth, for Eve, she had long since known about Su Ran’s little act, and she also knew about the long hair hidden in his hat.

The immense life energy contained within his body… even without placing her forehead against his, as a vampire, Eve could now clearly feel it.

However, since Su Ran didn’t plan on explaining it to her, Eve didn’t plan on exposing him either.

After all, everyone has their own secrets.

Besides, from Su Ran’s flustered performance these past two days, she found that pretending not to know made his reactions quite interesting, which diluted much of the sorrow of their impending separation.

In the morning, after packing her things, Eve looked at the apartment she had lived in for two years.

The room wasn’t large.

A bed was placed in the center, now covered with a dust sheet.

The desk and wardrobe near the wall were also neatly arranged, yet nothing had been taken.

Other than the school uniform she was wearing, Eve had left all her spare clothes here.

Although her time in the Human Federation only occupied a small part of her memory, because of Su Ran’s appearance, Eve’s entire world had been colored.

Eve took one last look at the apartment, closed the door, and turned the key.

All traces of “Eve” the human were left behind in the room with it.

In a few days, she would reappear with her royal identity.

Eve arrived at Su Ran’s door and skillfully opened it with her key.

At this time, Su Ran was already up and sitting on his bed.

“Are you leaving now?”

A common greeting, as gentle as ever.

After two days of being together, Eve was finally able to calm her thoughts.

“Yes, I’m going to the school to gather and set off today. Also, take these.”

Eve, who had come prepared, took out an envelope and stuffed it into Su Ran’s arms.

He opened it and was momentarily stunned.

“What are you doing?”

The envelope was stuffed with several thick stacks of banknotes, each one emitting the unique smell of freshly printed ink.

Su Ran did a rough count.

There was at least ten thousand yuan in there.

“This is the scholarship the school awarded me for getting first place in all my subjects. It’s time to buy a new wheelchair.”

After speaking, Eve’s gaze shifted to the wheelchair by Su Ran’s bed, which had several welding marks on it.

Those were the marks from Su Ran’s several repairs after its original owner had discarded it.

For him, his savings were not much.

Since he could earn living expenses through power-leveling, he naturally saved wherever he could in other aspects.

“No!”

The refusal slipped out subconsciously.

Although Su Ran looked at the money Eve had given him, which could solve his urgent need…

He could still distinguish what money he should and shouldn’t take.

Eve’s family situation was similar to his own.

Ten thousand yuan was not a small sum for her either.

He knew that the expenses of a superhuman were not small, especially when going to a dangerous place like the border city.

At this moment, he could not just accept the money Eve was giving him.

Saying this, Su Ran handed the envelope back to Eve.

Having already anticipated Su Ran’s refusal, Eve did not take it back, only smiling faintly, “The school scholarship is a lot, this is just a part of it. Just think of it as me lending it to you, alright? You can just pay me back a little more in the future.”

In reality, the so-called school scholarship was just an excuse Eve had made up.

This money was what she had saved from grocery shopping over the past two years.

Every time Su Ran gave her money for groceries, he always gave her plenty, afraid he hadn’t contributed his share.

Therefore, Eve had saved the extra money for him each time, intending to return it all at once now.

She was going back to the vampires.

This money would be useless for her to carry around, so she found an excuse to give this portion of money back to Su Ran.

Upon hearing Eve say that this money was a loan, Su Ran’s attitude immediately became hesitant.

Because he really needed this money to get the fourth potion.

“Alright, I’ll consider this money a loan from you. When you come back from the border city, I’ll have a surprise for you.”

After a moment of silence, he finally made up his mind and agreed.

He solemnly put away the envelope Eve had given him.

He planned to put this money into the Witch Game after Eve left, using the power of a Sequence Six to rescue the trapped witch.

Two days had already passed.

The Church had set the date for the public trial, and the money issue was pressing.

Su Ran’s idea was a good one.

After drinking the fourth potion, he would gain a superhuman talent.

Then, even if his legs hadn’t recovered, he could still tell Eve that he had every hope of returning to normal.

“Then I’ll have to come back early to see it as soon as possible.”

Even though she knew she wouldn’t have the chance to see it, Eve still put on an expectant look.

After bidding farewell to Su Ran, Eve walked out of his room.

The sunlight could no longer shine into the corridor; the only light came from the dim lamps.

Winnie, in a maid’s uniform, stood gracefully at the door.

Seeing Eve come out, she bowed slightly.

“Your Highness Eve, their raiding location this time is the Northern Border Defense City. The three Earls are leading them.”

“I was just lacking a reasonable excuse to get away. They’ve delivered one right to my door.”

Although she had devised a way to get away, the specific actions still required Eve to adapt to the situation.

The appearance of the raid gave Eve a good pretext.

“Three Sequence Six Earls? Let them serve as the stepping stones for my return!”
