His nose wrinkled at being recommended a romance. Romance stories were for women and Ouyang Zizhen.
And Ignacio-qianbei, apparently. There had to be some deeper value to it than just a cringy love story if he held in such esteem.
A thoughtful look crossed his face hearing that the book was also about vampires trying to fit into society. Ah, that explained it. He closed the book to eye the cover again. It was a surprisingly realistic painting, but nothing about it suggested vampires, werewolves, or romance. Unless oranges were considered a symbol of one or the other where Ignacio came from.
"So this Edgar and Jericho are enemies?" He followed Ignacio's gesture and settled himself into one of the heavily cushioned couches.
Now that he knew that the book provided examples of both vampires and werewolves -- two beings especially relevant to him recently -- he returned to reading the opening paragraphs with more intent. To his surprise, it was told from the point of view of a girl named Belinda, not the vampire Edgar he was expecting.
"Tea," he said after a moment delay, "Green, the freshest leaves they have."
