The night sky, as dark as ink, unleashed a torrential rain that washed over the city alive with undercurrents.
Under the dimly lit street lamps, a luxury car zoomed past, splashing the muddy water from roadside puddles.
In the back seat, a man clutched his fist tightly, seemingly enduring something.
In the darkness, his face was indiscernible, but the faint “grating” sound emanating from his teeth suggested that he was nearing his limit.
From the front seat, a worried driver muttered, "Seventh Master, please hold on a little longer! We'll be home soon!"
No sooner had his words faded, the car jostled slightly again, splashing mud onto a girl roadside, her umbrella blown away by the wind.
Through the car window, the man's crimson eyes, like a hawk spotting its prey, fixed on the girl.
"Running out of time," he murmured, his voice as chilling as the falling temperature, while his blood-red lips barely opened.
Ning Zixi, who was about to graduate, was still grappling with her thesis in the school. She wouldn't have rushed home in the pitch-dark downpour unless necessary.
Now, to add to her irritation, her umbrella was blown away, and she was splattered with sludge from a speeding car on the road.
"Hey!" Ning Zixi yelled out angrily, without expecting any apology from the vehicle's driver.
Unexpectedly, however, the car halted and was soon backing towards her.
Before she could utter a word, the rear car door was forced open, and a slender arm extended from inside. It grabbed her wrist, pulling her forcefully into the car.
Only when she collided with a slightly hot body did Ning Zixi react. Terrified, she pushed the person away and blurted out, "Who are you? What do you want?!”
The man didn't respond to her question, instead, he pulled her close, lowered his head, and sank his teeth into her neck.
"Ah! It hurts! Help!"
Feeling her skin being pierced and her blood being swallowed by the man, Ning Zixi struggled even more in terror. However, the man didn't release her in the slightest.
The luxury car continued to speed, finally stopping in the parking lot of a building.
Having finally being released from the man's grip around her neck, Ning Zixi turned her head trying to get a clear look at the man's face.
But the light was too dim, and she could only make out the general outline of his face.
Despite not being able to see his face clearly, Ning Zixi could feel that the man's violent aura had lessened quite a bit.
Having lost her umbrella, utterly soaked, and bitten by a stranger, all these misfortunes combined led Ning Zixi to open her mouth without a second thought.
Forget about the saying of a gentleman taking revenge ten years later not being too late, if this man dared to bite her, she would bite him right back!
Ning Zixi swore that she used all her strength, and tasted a sickly sweet flavor in her mouth.
But not only did the man not cry out in pain, he chuckled lightly, "Hmm~ You dare to bite me?"
Hearing this deep, raspy voice, Ning Zixi instantly froze, unconsciously releasing her grip.
Was this the voice actor from a radio station? His voice sounds so good!
Without her response, the man, slightly displeased, grasped her chin in his hand, "What? Getting cold feet already?"
The warmth that came from her chin brought Ning Zixi back to reality. She shook her head, brushed the man's hand away and retorted loudly, "You bit me first!"
"Oh, is that so~"
Listening to the man's contemplative words, Ning Zixi suddenly had a bad premonition.
"What do you want!"
Her feigned fierce demeanor did nothing to stop the man's further actions, and soon, Ning Zixi could hear a voice filled with warmth and an enchanting urgency beside her ear.
"Not only will I bite you, but I also want to devour you."
Sensing his danger, Ning Zixi quickly reacted and reached out to push the car door.
The man, who had already sensed her intention, swiftly pulled her back, pressing her tightly in his embrace, and then lowers his head to seal her slightly parted lips out of fright.
Outside, the storm raged on uninhibited, while inside the luxury car parked in the parking lot, a different, burning scene was taking place.
