The Vampire Parenting Diaries

Chapter 31 Day 31

Due to his long lifespan, Elphons didn't have a very obvious sense of the passage of time in the past.With him, a human's life is just a time of deep sleep, not a long time.He has no real sense of the changes in time, and cannot detect the difference between each day and the previous day. In a sense, he is not even alive, so for him, existence and time are just vague concepts.

Time could not carve traces like human beings on him. He has been like this since thousands of years ago, and he has not changed at all now.

However, after having Ulea, although time still cannot leave traces on him, some things are different after all.

Every morning, I would send Uriah to school, and I would watch it by myself. In the afternoon, I would receive visits from the blood vampires, and in the evening I would wait for Uriah to come back.I don’t know how long this regular life has passed, until one day old Evan brought back some clothes ordered for Uriah, and said casually: “Uriah came here at this time last year. of."

It dawned on him that a year had passed.

The first time he saw Uriah was in mid-autumn, when Uriah had been in the manor for a while, about a week or two since old Evan told him that he had picked up a human, and now old Evan held the The autumn clothes that Yulea had ordered, the time was indeed about the same.

A vampire's life is very long. If there are no accidents, they are unwilling to perish. They are greedy for the world and can live for a long time.Proportional to their long lives is their memory. Due to the strengthening of various abilities, their memory is very good. If conditions permit, they can even recount what happened to them when they were young hundreds of years ago, and they can tell every detail Be clear.

Therefore, they are known as one of the most vengeful species. Under normal circumstances, they seldom provoke them, otherwise it is easy to be attacked by vampires who have offended them decades or even a hundred years later. Stab in the back.

As the longest-lived vampire so far and the most powerful ancestor in the history of the blood clan, Elphins naturally has a good memory.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, he remembered the child's appearance when he first saw Uriah, and he could clearly remember every slight change in his expression.

He remembered the tear stains on Uriah's face when he first jumped out, the teardrops were like small pieces of sapphire in his eyes, the child looked terrified, but it wasn't because of him, and he wasn't afraid of the terrifying gesture he deliberately made, Obviously it was only the first time they met, but they dared to hold his leg and ask him to help find grandpa and call him Mr.

The title has been used since then, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he didn't allow it to be changed.

Thinking about it now, I still feel that the child is very courageous in some aspects, and he is not afraid of him, the real ancestor of vampires.

Instead, they will be afraid of lightning, thunder and darkness.

He is much scarier than darkness.

However, it is also cuter.

It was not once or twice that the prince lost his mind during the conversation. The blood race on the opposite side was already familiar with this kind of scene. When he saw His Highness turned his gaze out of the window, he stopped wisely, and waited for His Highness to turn back before stepping forward in time to finish his sentence .

He was still rushing home to prepare for his lover's birthday, so he planned to leave after reporting the matter: "Your Highness, I'm leaving first."

Elphonse didn't keep him, he walked out of the study quickly, answered a phone call from his lover, and said as he walked, "Honey, I'll go back right away."

Through a wall, his voice clearly reached Elphonse's ears.

"...a gift? Of course it's ready. Today is your birthday, and I specially prepared a surprise."

"Your Highness, everything is normal today. There is no more marker in Lockwood Manor, don't worry."

"Okay sweetheart, close your eyes, count to a hundred and then open them, I guarantee that I will appear in front of your eyes."

"I love you too. Bye."

The words ended with a kiss across the screen, and Elffins looked at the tightly wrapped figure that appeared out of the window. The other party was obviously in a hurry, and almost ran into an afterimage, and passed from the manor gate in the blink of an eye. disappear.

He remembered what he had just heard, as if he wanted to go back to celebrate his lover's birthday?

Birthday...?

Tapping his index finger slowly on the table, Elphons closed his eyes, ignoring the afterglow of the setting sun that shone through the window.

He was born for too long, and the exact date is unknown. Even if he knew, it would not be a day worth celebrating. The ancestor of the blood race did not have the habit of celebrating his own birthday.Some vampires transformed from humans retain this habit, but the specific circumstances are still different. Some use their birthday date when they were still humans, while others regard the day of their transformation as their birthday to celebrate their rebirth.

For Elphons, every date is an ordinary day, without any special meaning, so he never took this kind of thing to heart, but after the vampire said it just now, he suddenly remembered , in the human world, birthday seems to be a very meaningful day.

In human terms, this day represents their birth, and besides growing one year older each time, it also represents many special meanings.

Some humans even hold a birthday party on this day, inviting relatives and friends to celebrate their birthday together.

There are indications that, for humans, birthdays are important.

Ulea is also a human being, does she also like birthdays?

It is unrealistic to understand human nature with a vampire's thinking. Elphons didn't think for a long time alone, so he called the old Evan, who he thought was of reference value, and asked this question.

The butler, who was accustomed to facing various problems directly, maintained a very steady style as he wished. After listening to his questions, he first made a note of the arrangement for Uriah's birthday in his heart, and then replied: "If you want He'll love it if Uriah prepares for her birthday."

Elphonse nodded.

Elder Evan then asked a crucial question: "But, do you know when Uriah's birthday is?"

Elphinx: "..."

Of course he didn't know.

He didn't pay much attention when the child was picked up, and he didn't have the concept of having a birthday when he was with him later, and he never mentioned related topics. He didn't even think about it, so how could he know.

There was a brief silence in the study, and after a long while, old Evan said, "Actually, I asked Ulea this question."

Elphons looked up.

Old Evan continued: "But he doesn't remember."

"..."

Elphons frowned, but he didn't express his dissatisfaction with Uriah for forgetting his birthday.

This is understandable. After all, the child is still so young. Even if he has been raised by his side for a year, he is only seven years old. The previous life can't even fill his stomach. It's not surprising that he can't remember his birthday.

But this made his plan almost aborted from the beginning.How to prepare if you don't even know the date?

Elphons thought about it seriously, and suddenly remembered what old Evan said a few days ago, and asked, "What date did you meet Ulea?"

Old Evan remembered clearly: "September 9th."

Today is September 9nd on the calendar.

7 days left.

Elphons said, "Then his birthday is on the ninth..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that such an arbitrary decision was not fair to Uriah. After all, it was the child's birthday, and he should decide it by himself, so he cut off the end of the sentence abruptly, and only asked old Evan to "prepare first."

Old Evan got the task, looked at the time, it was time to pick up Ulea, so he left first.

Elphons wasn't sure how humans would generally feel about tampering with one's own birthday, but Uriah clearly wasn't going to refuse his offer.

An hour later, accompanied by familiar footsteps, Uriah appeared before his eyes.

A year of good diet and nutrition has made Uriah's originally thin body shape a bit more normal. She finally has some flesh on her body, and she can feel real when hugged, but her facial features have not changed much.Elphons let Uriah sit on his lap as usual, and listened to the latter talking about his daily life at school that day.

The height gap between the child who grew a little taller than before was still significant, sitting on his lap, with the toes barely touching the ground.

Ulea sat back a little, so that his feet were far away from the ground, allowing him to swing his toes as he wished.

I just started school yesterday, after a long vacation, there are a lot of new things in the class, most of them are where the parents of some classmates took him, what they saw, everyone has their own story, and we will talk about it as soon as class is over up.Because it was just the beginning of school, and the teacher hadn't started class yet, I just greeted them roughly and talked about what I had seen and heard during the holiday.

This has accumulated many topics for Uriah.

The child excitedly relayed the "adventure" story of his classmates, saying that he went to the grassland and saw a lion there, which was so big and looked very majestic.

Elphons also took Uriah to several places during the holidays, mostly amusement parks, but he did not give him the opportunity to get in touch with this animal.Because the power of the ancestor of the blood race is too domineering, if it is released unconsciously, large beasts will only surrender when they encounter them. If they are not able to withstand it, they will easily be frightened and paralyzed.Once that kind of scene occurs, it will be more troublesome to deal with it later.

Seeing the interest in that scene in Uriah's eyes at this moment, he couldn't help thinking whether he should avoid the crowd and take the child there.

When a child is serious about doing something, he always puts his heart and soul into it. If he agrees to share his campus knowledge with him every day, he must finish it well.Elphons listened quietly, nodding from time to time, putting his hand on the back of Uriah's head, and slowly stroking that brilliant blond hair.

When Uriah finally finished speaking, he made a conclusion: "Wait for the next vacation, I will take you to see an ancient and mysterious oriental species, you should like it very much."

There was light in the blue eyes, Uriah said happily: "Okay!"

"By the way," Elphons asked casually, "do you remember your birthday?"

As expected, Ulea showed a blank expression: "I don't remember."

"Then how about it," Elphons casually elicited his purpose, "How about taking the time you came here as your birthday?"

The child has no objection: "Okay."

purpose achieved.

Elphons bent his lips: "Now let's go downstairs for dinner."

"Ah."
