Bite Your Fingertips

The heavy rain started in the afternoon and continued for several hours before it gradually stopped.

From the dripping bushes, a small brown frog jumped out, splashed the stagnant water on the ground, and soon disappeared in the flower bed.

Chu Yu sat on the steps, picked up a branch that was blown down by the strong wind, lowered his head, and poked the water accumulated in the small puddle time after time.

He was originally at a loss, but also had some unexplainable fear.

But after listening to Lu Shi finished speaking, his mood strangely found a fulcrum of balance, at least he had a bit of buffer time to sort out his thoughts amidst the chaos.

"I," Chu Yu emphasized first, "I really didn't cry just now."

Lu Shi glanced at him, did not make a rebuttal, and said in a cold voice, "Yes."

Chu Yu poked the shadows of the two under the street lamp with the branch in his hand, and Chu Yu was a little lost in thought again.

A gust of night wind blew past, and the drenched clothes were blown cool, he flinched involuntarily, and came back to his senses, "I...I have a lot to say, but my mind is messed up, I don't know Where should I start?"

Lu Shizheng lowered his head, patiently and meticulously folded the umbrella neatly, and curled his fingers into beautiful lines.

After buckling the umbrella, Lu Shi turned his eyes and saw Chu Yu's thick and curly eyelashes drooping, listless.

He took the initiative in the conversation, "First of all, we can be sure that you are not an 'ordinary', 'normal' human being. Ordinary normal human beings do not have the ability to heal wounds quickly visible to the naked eye."

Chu Yu nodded sullenly, "Yes."

"In the restaurant on Qingchuan Road, and in the corridor outside the classroom, you asked me the same question, asking if there was something delicious hidden on me. Because you smelled a very fragrant smell on me .”

Lu Shi looked calm, like solving a math problem, and analyzed in detail, "When was the first time you smelled that so-called very fragrant smell?"

Chu Yu followed Lu Shi's train of thought, "I remember this! Qingchuan Road, on Qingchuan Road, when you were fighting with that group of flower-armed brothers, didn't you get a cut on your left arm, and it bled. That's when I was, It was the first time I smelled that very fragrant smell, and my throat felt dry and itchy."

"Never before?"

Chu Yu was sure, "Absolutely not."

Lu Shi asked him again, "Is there anything unusual after this?"

"Abnormal? If you want to say abnormal, there are many." His thoughts gradually became clear, and Chu Yu began to count with his fingers. "I seem to have entered a period of rapid growth. My nails and hair grow very fast, and I have to cut my nails almost every day." .Always thirsty, but do not want to drink water. Very hungry, but no appetite, poor appetite, and vomiting after eating.

Oh, by the way, it was the night I came home from Qingchuan Road that I started to have a fever.My obviously hot blood vessels were about to explode, but my body temperature was only 36.5, which made me very angry.What's more," Chu Yu stammered, "I will, I will have the same dream repeatedly for many consecutive nights. "

"What dream?"

"That's right," Chu Yu looked away, "I just dreamed of you."

Why is it so awkward to say this?

Lu Shi raised his thin eyelids and looked at Chu Yu, "Me?"

"That's right, I always dreamed of you," Chu Yu broke the jar after saying it, and described in detail, "Probably, you were standing in that alley, looking at me expressionlessly, with your arm in your arms. The wound on his body has been bleeding continuously, and the color of the blood is dazzling red."

"I don't have a deep impression of other things in the dream. What impresses me the most is the bleeding wound, right?"

Chu Yu was startled, and suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.

He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be sunshine, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't be sure whether it was sunny or not, including the surrounding environment.

"Yes, that's true."

The sleeves of Lu Shibai's shirt were loosely rolled up a few times, his sitting posture was casual, and his voice was very soft mixed with the moist night wind.

"I have two speculations. Their common premise is that before this, the characteristic of 'blood-sucking' in your body has been in a dormant state. My blood is a source of stimulation. When you smell my blood When you wake up from the dormant state, the "blood-sucking" feature lurking in your body will start to thirst for blood, and a series of changes will occur in your body.

The first speculation is that you need to drink blood to survive.The blood here is not only mine, it can also be someone else's.Under this kind of speculation, I and my blood are not special to you.That is to say, on the same day, changing another person's blood can also stimulate your blood-sucking characteristics. "

Chu Yu rested his chin on his hands and listened carefully, "What about the second one?"

Lu Shi's eyes were dark and quiet, staring at Chu Yu's subtle expression, "The second is that you need to drink my blood in order to survive. According to this kind of speculation, my blood is special to you."

Particularity.

Chu Yu subconsciously looked away again, and stopped looking at Lu Shi.

He was sure that Lu Shi's blood was absolutely special to him.

Because whether it was smelling He Zhihao's blood or the blood of countless patients in the hospital, not only would he not be able to produce any appetite, but if he tried to smoke, he would also experience physiological nausea.

Only Lu Shi's blood.

Lu Shi's blood was very fragrant, as if the taste buds on the tip of the tongue exploded. After swallowing it, the discomfort in the body would be relieved immediately. At the same time, the great joy and satisfaction would be experienced only once, and it would be engraved in his bones.

Moreover, he had a vague awareness that if he didn't suck blood, Lu Shi's blood, he might...be unable to survive.

will die.

The five fingers holding the branch tightened, Chu Yu was not ready to say this.

After all, he and Lu Shi have known each other for less than a month.

Before that, they even had little communication, and even less understanding of each other.

When he was with Lu, he hadn't reached the level of "trust".

"The second guess is correct. Your blood is very special to me. Other people's blood smells bitter and stinky, but yours...is different."

Chu Yu didn't answer the question in detail, "By the way, it's about that dream."

Lu Shi obeyed his wishes and changed the topic, "Huh?"

Chu Yu thought about his words, "In the evening in the constant temperature botanical garden, after I sucked a lot of your blood, my consciousness was ups and downs and I was not so clear. But I am sure that the picture in the dream appeared in front of me, which is the picture of you bleeding. But soon , The picture is like a jigsaw puzzle, suddenly shattered. I always have a feeling, as if... I will never have the same dream again."

Lu Shi: "What do you think?"

"I was wondering, could this dream be a symbol, an instruction or something? It's not normal to have a dream over and over again." After speaking, Chu Yu twitched his lips again, "However, where am I? Nothing is normal anywhere."

Lu Shi ignored the second half of his sentence, and only analyzed objectively, "You started to have this dream after being stimulated by my blood. And the picture of this dream was shattered and ended when you sucked a lot of my blood. If If you interpret this dream as a special reminder, then it is logically established."

Chu Yu understood what Lu Shi meant.

The meaning of that dream was that after he awakened the characteristic of "blood-sucking", it reminded him repeatedly that he needed to suck blood, Lu Shi's blood.

When he is full, this reminder has no meaning.

"so."

Chu Yu looked up, "What?"

"So, it is very likely that your blood-sucking feature has been fully activated. Or, you have completed a certain process in your growth stage."

Chu Yu nodded his chin, "It makes sense!"

"It's not necessarily correct, it's just a rough guess based on the known conditions now."

Lu Shi looked at Chu Yu, and he was almost certain that his blood was special to Chu Yu.

Not only the taste, but even, possibly, Chu Yu could only drink his blood.

This guess made Lu Shi's eyes as dark as night seem to be faintly dotted with a few stars.

"Let's go, go back, we still have class tomorrow."

Lu Shi got up, not paying attention to the drenched black school pants, holding the umbrella in his right hand, and walked out of the park in the middle of the street.

At night, it was raining again, and the surroundings were quiet and scary.

Chu Yu was timid and afraid of ghosts, so he quickly stood up, threw away the branch in his hand, and chased after him, "Wait for me, I'll be with you!"

The two returned to school, at a fork in the road, saw Lu Shi walking towards the cafeteria, Chu Yu followed two steps, and realized - yes, he was full, but Lu Shi guessed that he hadn't eaten yet.

The point is, so much blood was sucked away by him.

For a moment, guilt surged in his heart, and Chu Yu hurriedly took out his school card, "Do you want to—"

"No, I have it myself."

Lu Shi looked at Chu Yu's clothes that were all soaked and almost dried naturally, "Go back and take a shower first."

"Huh? Oh, good."

Not following him any more, Chu Yu stood where he was, watching Lu Shi walk away slowly under the warm light of the street lamps which were not too bright, and then he woke up and walked towards the dormitory.

After taking a hot shower and wrapping himself in pajamas, Chu Yu finally felt his whole body warm again.

He held the phone, locked the screen, unlocked it, and went back and forth several times before he held his breath and dialed a number.

"mom--"

"Hi, young master. I'm Mr. Shi's assistant. Mr. Shi is in a meeting now, and the meeting is expected to end in 48 minutes. If you have something urgent, I can convey it on your behalf."

There was no time to adjust the expression on his face, and he froze slightly.

However, since he could remember, he called his mother nine times out of ten. In the same words, he could not only recite it, but even imitate his tone of voice ten to ten times.

However, Chu Yu is still not used to it.

Leaning back against the edge of the desk, Chu Yu held a triangular ruler in his hand, lowering his eyelashes to hide his emotions.

"Then I'll call back in 48 minutes."

"Ok."

The phone is hung up, and the system automatically returns to the main interface of the phone.

Chu Yu stood for a while, thinking about it, and wanted to ask Lu Shi if he had finished his supper, but immediately realized that he did not have Lu Shi's contact information.

Lying on the bed, Chu Yu scrolled aimlessly on the screen of his mobile phone, and suddenly saw the QQ prompt message 99+, he clicked on it, it was the class group.

[School Committee-Fang Ziqi]: About study, father-son bureau, whoever writes first is the son, come?

[Squad leader-Zhang Yueshan]: Come on, son.

[Civilian-Li Hua]: Are you writing English papers?Are you going to write to me again?

The following string of hahaha, mixed with a few words "lai", responded to the school committee.

Chu Yu clicked on the screen to type.

[School Flower-Chu Yu]: I'm coming too.

[School Flower-Chu Yu]: No, why is my title a school flower?

[School Committee-Fang Ziqi]: Because the school belle is you, you are the school belle.We are responsible for studying hard, and you are responsible for being beautiful!

[School Flower-Chu Yu]: Rolling, I love studying, learning makes me happy!

After posting two emoticons, Chu Yu went to the homepage of the class group and found Lu Shi's name from the member list.

Clicking on the temporary conversation, Chu Yu hung his fingertips on the keyboard, not knowing what to write.

He is really not familiar with Lu Shi. Although he has a strange bond to connect him now, he is still not familiar with him.

Chu Yu struggled for a long time, and felt that it was better to forget it, maybe it would be annoying to send the news.

Staring at the time, on time, Chu Yu dialed the phone number again.

It was still the assistant who answered the phone, and after a few words, the phone was handed over to Shi Yaling.

Chu Yu was subconsciously nervous.

"Mother."

Shi Yaling used to speak straight to the point, "What's the matter?"

This mode, on the contrary, made Chu Yu relax a little bit.

"I recently--"

The heart beat suddenly half a beat faster.Chu Yu stopped talking.

It can't be said, at least, not all can be said for the time being, so as to expose Lu Shi's existence.

Chu Yu understood his mother's thinking mode and handling style very well.

If, if he said that he was thirsty for blood, would die if he didn't drink blood, and could only accept Lu Shi's blood, then the follow-up would be beyond his control and intervention.

Whether it's for the Chu family or for him, his mother will never allow it. He has such a fatal weakness, which is held in Lu Shi's hands.

In order to prevent this risk, his mother will definitely control Lu Shi first.

Possibly, from tomorrow onwards, Lu Shi will be forced to "bind" with him, be restricted in freedom, and become his mobile blood bank until he doesn't need blood, or until he dies.

He remembered that on the steps of the park in the middle of the street, it was raining heavily, Lu Shi held an umbrella, gently stroked his drenched hair, his eyes were calm, and told him, don't be afraid.

"What's the matter recently? I'm busy, don't waste my time."

Chu Yu took a deep breath, and he didn't speak until his rapid heartbeat returned to normal, his voice was tight, "I've been feeling very unwell recently, I seem to be sick, I always feel very thirsty and hungry, but my appetite It’s not good, I can’t eat, and I vomit after eating. What’s more, my whole body has continued to feel hot for a long time, and my heart rate is also a little fast.”

After saying this, he became nervous again.

He is conflicted.

However, if his mother knew something about blood sucking, would she find clues from the symptoms he said?

"Chu Yu, you're not feeling well. You should go to the family doctor instead of me." The phone rang from Shi Yaling's side, and the assistant reported in a low voice, and then Shi Yaling was arranging things one by one.

Chu Yu waited quietly.

I moved my fingers, only to realize that I was too nervous and my knuckles were stiff.

After more than half a minute, Shi Yaling's voice rang again through the receiver, "What else is there?"

"No more," Chu Yu turned sideways, curled up, and said to the receiver, "Pay attention to your body, you are too busy with work, you should take a proper rest."

"I see."

"That--"

The phone hangs up.

Chu Yu faced the air and finished the second half of the sentence, "Good night, Mom."
