Kulan Yuki took me and iris to visit the classroom of the black master academy.

Many people greeted her along the way, and it was obvious that she was quite popular.

She also introduced me to her best friend, Wakaba Sarai.It was a very gentle human girl with a sweet appearance, and she greeted me and Calamus with a smile.I smelled it and thought this girl smelled a bit like soufflé.Soft and light without being cloying.

Thinking of this, I felt a little hungry, so I turned to calamus.

Calamus and I looked at each other for a few seconds, and then began to unbutton the collar of his shirt with a tacit understanding.

I leaned forward, stood on tiptoe, and hugged his side.The pupils turned red, licked, fangs grew, and the mouth opened...

Just when I was about to bite into it, Jiulan Yuki's eager yell startled me: "Wait! Cool!! What are you doing!!"

"Eat? I'm a little hungry." I didn't know what Jiulan Yuki was making a fuss about.After all, she's a vampire too, isn't she?Naturally she should also know about the 'thirst' belonging to vampires.

"Xiaoliang," Jiulan Yuki pressed her forehead with some nerve-wracking. "All blood-sucking behaviors are prohibited in the academy. Maybe I forgot to tell you just now."

"But...but I'm hungry." I said a little at a loss.

How can a vampire survive without drinking blood?Is it to maintain life by the power of love as described in the novel?

"You may have just returned to Japan, and you don't know yet." Kulan Yuki took out a beautiful small box from her pocket. "This is a blood lozenge, which is a new invention here in Japan. Just take out a small piece and soak it in water, and you can get the same liquid as human blood." She took out a piece, and in Ruo Yesarai took a disposable paper cup from there, filled it with water, soaked it in it, and handed it to me with a smile. "Here, try it. Besides, as a vampire, Xiao Liang has to learn to suppress her hunger and thirst."

I looked at the paper cup in Jiulan Yuki's hand.

As time passed, that small piece of medicine slowly dyed the white water into the color of blood.

Calamus never taught me to restrain my blood-sucking urges.

Ever since I stopped eating human blood and started 'hunting' directly from Calamus, whenever I feel 'hungry', Calamus will silently satisfy my desire.

If there was no one else, or in the world of vampires, he'd let me get the freshest blood straight from the veins in his neck like this.If we were in the presence of humans, he would quietly pass me his wrist, or put me in his arms, covered by his coat, and eat and eat whatever I wanted.

Being pampered by him without a bottom line, sometimes I even playfully took his hand when I was not hungry, bit his fingertips lightly, just tasted a little bit of blood and used the blood of a vampire. Saliva helped him recover.

Because vampires in order to trap prey, when sucking blood, saliva will produce a toxin, giving humans a feeling of obsession.

Played by me like this, he sometimes looks at me helplessly, but never rejects me.This is the feeling of tolerance I want from him.

This feeling makes me feel that I am really extremely happy.

"Xiaoliang, take it. Try it." Yuki's voice brought me back from my thoughts.I subconsciously went to take the paper cup in her hand, only to find that a hand had already taken the cup away before me.

It is calamus.

"Ryo doesn't need such a thing. I let her suck blood voluntarily," he said.

"But, Calamus-kun." Yuuki obviously did not expect such a situation. "This is the college's regulation. And blood lozenges are harmless to us. You are also a vampire, if you are worried about Xiaoliang drinking blood lozenges, you can try it first."

"Wait, Calamus, I want to try some." Seeing Cang Pu's movement as if he was about to pour the glass of water into a flower pot beside him, I hurriedly stopped him.

He was not very willing at first, but I looked at him, blinking, eyes full of earnestness.It took a while before he relented to me. "Just a little lick. This stuff doesn't taste good."

I took the paper cup in his hand and took a sip.

Actually, it's okay.Compared with real blood, this blood lozenge is like fake meat with dried beans and real meat products.It must be that fresh blood is more delicious.

But... although it can make me feel full, the hunger in my throat doesn't go away.

However, looking at Kuran Yuki who looked at me expectantly, it was hard for me to say something that made her feel sad-it would make me feel guilty.So, I still showed a smile and said to her: "Actually, it's not as exaggerated as Calamus, I think it's okay."

Yuuki happily handed me the exquisite iron box in her hand. "That's great, Xiaoliang. I think you will be able to adapt to life in Heizhu Academy soon. I'll give this to you first. If you run out, remember to ask me directly, or senior Lan Tangying. .”

"Yeah." I nodded at her.But the unfinished paper cup in my hand was taken away by Cang Pu, as if he had quietly thrown it into the trash can.

"You Ji." Blood Hunter with short silver hair appeared at the door. "Bai Lu Geng's carriage is coming, and the chairman wants us to meet it. It is said that a Tama is also following her." Although this time the blood hunter named Coni Shengling did not show any disgust towards us, But in fact, he didn't look at me and Calamus at all, he just regarded us as air.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoliang." Jiulan Yuki smiled apologetically at me. "I have to pick up Miss Geng from the Bailu family. She is as beautiful and powerful as Brother Shu. But recently I heard that Brother Shu..." She lowered her eyes sadly and disappeared. words behind. "However, I will protect her well. I will prove to Brother Shu that humans and vampires can coexist harmoniously!" But Yuki became excited again, as if her fighting spirit was ignited.

She took us to say goodbye to Wakaba Sarai, and sent us to Yezhiliao. "I'll take you here first, Xiaoliang, nice to meet you. See you tomorrow!"

"Okay," I said to her, smiling too. "Then I'll take the calamus to rest first. I'll see you in class tomorrow."

"Okay!" Yuuki waved to me, then pulled Ai Shengling away.

Calamus took me back to our room.

He had made our bed before leaving.So, now I only need to brush my teeth and wash my face, and then I can fall asleep beautifully in bed.

When I was about to wash up, Cangpu grabbed my arm. "Liang, are you hungry? It's really hard work for you. You have endured for so long today." He had already unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, revealing his shoulders that looked thin but were actually strong and powerful. "Do you like Heizhu Academy? Do you feel a little unfree? I'm sorry, you may need to be patient for a while. We need to settle some things here, and then I will take you back to Europe again."

"Wait, wait, Calamus! Didn't Yuu Lan Yuki say that? Blood-sucking is forbidden in the academy." Although I learned to endure this kind of 'hunger and thirst' for the first time, it doesn't really matter much, after all There is no shortage of 'food', so you can't die.But just like human beings can only eat boiled vegetables for three meals a day, they will be very greedy.

"You don't need to be patient, Liang." Calamus smiled, and hugged my head to his most vulnerable neck.His special ability was activated, and the rapidly growing plants wrapped us up, isolating all breaths, as if there were only him and me in the world.

"Eat, cool. It's okay." Calamus's voice sounded in my ear, as if it was tempting me, but it also seemed to resonate in my blood.

Sweet blood finally flowed into my mouth.

A reassuring feeling.

It was like being back in the mother's womb.Totally trust and relax.There is only one thought left in the subconscious - this person will never hurt me.

As the thirst in my throat fades away, I hear our heartbeats resonate.It was as if my heartbeat had synced up with his, and the two of us were supposed to be the same person.

Therefore, blood lozenges cannot really replace the act of sucking blood.

Because cold pills will never give us the comfort we crave.

The other person's emotion, the other person's mood.

In the small world wrapped by calamus plants, the two of us embrace each other tightly, linked by blood, forming a uniqueness that is indispensable to each other.
