Faced with Rujia's tit-for-tat, An An did not back down. Her eyes were firm, as if they could penetrate the night and look directly into people's hearts.

"Ms. Ruka, matters of the heart are not something that can be easily judged by outsiders. Senior Shu's choice is based on his own feelings and understanding. All I can do is let nature take its course."

"Oh, let it be?"

Ruka said sarcastically: "What do you mean by letting nature take its course? You and Master Shu are from two different worlds. You are just a human being. What right do you have to harass us?"

An An straightened her back, her eyes full of unyielding light. She knew very well that she was not a soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated. Facing Rujia's sarcasm and contempt, An An not only did not back down, but directly retorted: "Don't use your status to pressure me. I'm just an ordinary human being. I don't understand those big principles. As long as he doesn't give up on me, I will never step back."

Ruka's face darkened, and just as she was about to take action, she stopped in a hurry because of the appearance of a person.

Takuma Ichijo is a vampire of equally pure bloodline and distinguished status.

As Zero Kiryu's confidant, his appearance undoubtedly added a few unpredictable variables to this delicate situation.

"Miss An An," Takuma's voice was gentle but powerful, and he walked towards the two of them step by step.

Takuma turned his head to look at Ruka and ordered, "Go back."

Rujia glared at An An angrily, then left reluctantly.

For a moment, Takuma and An'an were the only ones left in the huge garden. Takuma said to An'an, "Please don't mind Ruka's behavior. Her emotions are often dragged down by her obsessions and she can't control herself.

Just as Miss An An said, emotional matters are inherently complex and changeable, and cannot be fully controlled by reason.

Everyone has his or her own persistence and pride, which is the most extraordinary and special thing in itself.”

After that, Takuma made an inviting gesture and continued, "Lord Kuran has ordered me to come and greet you. Please follow me."

Hearing this, An An raised a bright smile on her face. She nodded and followed Takuma's steps forward.

In the ancient courtyard bathed in moonlight, An An followed Takuma's lead and stepped into the pavilion.

She felt both nervousness and anticipation in her heart, until the moment she saw Kiryu Kiryu, she pouting her lips, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.

However, before she could organize her words, Zero Kiryu's voice sounded as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Silly girl."

He sighed softly, with a bit of helplessness in his tone, "Not long ago, you warned me earnestly that I should be cautious and not act rashly, but why did you lose your sense of proportion today?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Anan's anger did not subside, but became even more violent: "It's still that Kiryu Zero! It was all because of that stinky guy who put Yuuki in danger again... I was so angry that I... took action."

She took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound less trembling: "Kiryu Rei, that self-righteous guy, he always carries all the burdens on his shoulders, but never considers the consequences, let alone our feelings!

I really want to beat him to death!"

Kuran Shu listened quietly to Yu Anan's venting, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He slowly took a step forward and gently placed his hands on Yu An'an's shoulders, giving her silent support and comfort: "An'an, I understand your feelings.

Although Kiryu Rei acted rashly, he did it all for Yuuki and you, so you can't blame her for everything."

Yu Anan felt the coolness in Kuran Shu's palm, and the anger in her heart gradually subsided.

"You're right, Brother Shu, I was so angry that I lost my mind and acted too extreme. I will find a way to deal with Kiryu Zero's matter. It's not good to blame him blindly."

Kiryuu Kiryu's eyes, as deep as the night sky, now seemed to be covered with an imperceptible layer of mist.

He pursed his lips tightly, revealing a trace of indescribable loneliness, and slowly said: "An An, can you not mention other people for the time being."

There was a hint of pleading in his tone, and more of an imperceptible vulnerability that made people feel pity for him.

However, An An saw through the subtle emotions behind him, and a sly smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She shook her head gently, raised her head and leaned closer to him and said, "Okay, okay, Lord Kuran..."

An An deliberately prolonged her voice, with a hint of doting in her tone: "Since you don't want to hear it, I will follow your wishes and not mention anyone else.

Why don't we talk about personal matters?"

Her words were like a warm breeze, gently blowing through Shu Kiryu's heart, taking away the last trace of haze and relaxing his tense expression a little.

Although her smile was not fully revealed, the light in her eyes was noticeably softer, as if she was silently approving of An An's mischief.

At this moment, there seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two that did not require much words. They looked into each other's eyes and smiled.

……

As the night wore on, An An's conversation with Kiryuu was gradually coming to an end.

Kuran Shu tidied up An An's hair that was messed up by the wind, and said to Kuran Shu with a smile: "Then I will leave first. I still need to check the surrounding situation. We will... talk next time."

Kuran Shu nodded gently and said considerately: "Go, be careful."

Their hands touched lightly in the air and then separated. He watched An An's back gradually disappear into the night, while Kuran Shu stood there alone, staying for a long time before making up his mind.

"Master Shu, it's late, we should go back."

"Takuma, you go back first, I'm going to take care of some things."

"Yes, Master Shu."

Zero Kuran's pace was neither hurried nor slow, and each step seemed extremely steady.

He knew that his meeting with Zero Kiryu was not only because of the bond between An An and Yuuki, but also because of the upcoming crisis.

There is always a bit of indifference and arrogance on the face of Zero Kiryu. There is a natural barrier between him and Shu Kiryu... No, it should be said that there is a natural barrier between him and vampires.

Whenever the two met, the atmosphere was always tense. In the end, it was Zero Kuran who broke the silence first and said, "I know that there are many differences between us, and we can even say that we are in opposition.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t like me. It’s a bit confusing to say, but it’s just because we care about the same people, so we have to join forces. "

Zero Kiryu's eyes flickered slightly. He had never thought that Kiryu Zero would come to him in person. Although he still had many doubts in his heart, he also understood that the compromise and peace at this moment were for a longer-term goal.

He nodded slightly, accepting this unexpected "peace agreement".

The atmosphere between the two gradually eased. Although they still maintained a certain distance, the tense feeling had improved a lot.

Apart from the obvious differences, they actually have a lot in common, such as cherishing their family...

This alone is enough to restrain the two of them.

As night fell, their conversation gradually came to an end.

Kuran Shu stood up, and before leaving, he turned his back to him and said, "Kiryu Rei, we may never be true friends, but at least, we share the same wish for their well-being. I'll wait for you to come find me."

Zero Kiryu looked at the departing back of Kiryu Shuu and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Cooperate with vampires? Kiryu Zero smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that he couldn't change the will of heaven.

For Yuuki, for his father, and for An'an... he had no choice.
