The heavy rain started in the afternoon and gradually stopped after several hours.
In the dripping bushes, a small brown frog jumped out, splashed the water on the ground, and quickly disappeared in the flower bed.
Chu Yu sat on the steps, picked up a branch that had been blown down by the strong wind, lowered his head, and poked the water accumulated in the small puddle repeatedly.
He was at first dazed, but also had some inexplicable fear.
But after listening to Lu Shi's words, his mood strangely found a fulcrum of balance, at least he had a little buffer time to clear his mind amid the chaos.
"I," Chu Yu emphasized first, "I really didn't cry just now."
Lu Shi glanced at him, did not refute, his voice was cold, "Well."
Using the branch in his hand to poke the shadows of the two under the street lamp, Chu Yu was a little lost.
A gust of night wind blew past, and the wet clothes were swept away by a chill, and he involuntarily shrank back and came back to his senses, "I... I have a lot to say, but my mind is very confused, and I don't know what the end is. Where to start."
Lu Shizheng lowered his head, patiently and meticulously folded the umbrella neatly, his fingers flexed in beautiful lines.
Buckling the umbrella button, Lu Shi turned his eyes and saw Chu Yu's curly eyelashes hanging down, listless.
He took over the initiative of the dialogue, "First of all, we can confirm that you are not an 'ordinary', 'normal' human being. Ordinary normal human beings will not have the ability to quickly heal wounds 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 me if there was something delicious hidden on my body. Because you were on me, I smelled a very good smell. ."
Lu Shi's eyes were calm, like solving a mathematical problem, he analyzed it piece by piece, "When did you smell that so-called very fragrant smell for the first time?"
Chu Yu told Lu Shi's thoughts, "I remember this! Qingchuan Road, on Qingchuan Road, when you were fighting with that group of Hua-armed brothers, wasn't the left arm injured and bleeding. I was at that time, It was the first time I smelled that very fragrant smell, and my throat was dry and itchy."
"Never before?"
Chu Yu is very sure, "Absolutely never."
Lu Shi asked him again, "Is there anything unusual after this?"
"Abnormal? There are many things to say about abnormality," Chu Yu began to count with his fingers, "I seem to be entering a period of rapid growth, my nails and hair grow so 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, eat will vomit.
Oh, by the way, the night I came home from Qingchuan Road, I started to have a fever. My blood vessels that are obviously hot are about to explode, but my body temperature is only 36.5, and I am very angry. Also," Chu Yu hesitated, "I will have the same dream repeatedly for many nights in a row. "
"What dream?"
"That's right," Chu Yu looked away, "I just dreamed of you."
Why is it so awkward to say this
Lu Shi lifted his thin eyelids and looked at Chu Yu, "Me?"
"Yeah, I always dream of you," Chu Yu broke the jar and described in detail, "Probably, you were standing in that alley, looking at me blankly, arms The wound on the top has been bleeding non-stop, and the color of the blood is dazzling red."
"I'm not very impressed with other things in the dream. The most impressive thing is the bleeding wound, right?"
Chu Yu was startled, and suddenly realized that it was indeed the case.
He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be sunshine, but when he recalled it carefully, he could not be sure whether it was sunny or not, and he could not recall the surrounding environment.
"Yes, indeed it is."
The sleeves of Lu Shibai's shirt were folded loosely, sitting casually, his voice mixed with the wet night wind, very light.
"I have two speculations. Their common premise is that before this, the 'blood-sucking' feature in your body has been dormant. My blood is a stimulus. When you smell my blood When you wake up from the dormant state, the feature of 'blood-sucking' lurking in your body, you begin to thirst for blood, and a series of changes occur in your body.
The first speculation is that you need to suck blood to survive. The blood here is not only mine, but also 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 the blood of another person can also stimulate your blood-sucking characteristics. "
Chu Yu rested his chin in his hand and listened carefully, "What about the second type?"
Lu Shi's eyes were dark and quiet, staring at Chu Yu's subtle expression, "The second is that you need to suck my blood to survive. Under this assumption, 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 no matter whether he smelled He Zhihao's blood or the blood of countless patients in the hospital, not only could he not have any appetite, but if he tried to suck it, he would also experience physiological nausea and 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, and the great pleasure and satisfaction generated at the same time were only experienced once, and it was engraved in the bones.
Moreover, he had a vague awareness that if he didn't suck blood, Lu Shi's blood, he might not be able to survive.
will die.
The five fingers holding the branch tightened, Chu Yu was not ready to say these words.
After all, he and Lu Shi have known each other for less than a month.
Before that, they even communicated very little, and their understanding of each other was even more pitiful.
He has not yet reached the level of "trust" towards Lu Shi.
"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, about that dream."
Lu Shi obeyed his wishes and changed the focus of 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 sober. 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, and it suddenly shatters. I always have a feeling like... I will never have the same dream again."
Lu Shi: "What do you think?"
"I was thinking, 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 now? Nothing is normal."
Lu Shi ignored the second half of his sentence and just objectively analyzed, "You started to have this dream after being stimulated by my blood. And this dream was shattered and ended when you sucked a lot of my blood. If Understand this dream as a special reminder, then it is logically true."
Chu Yu understood what Lu Shi meant.
The meaning of that dream was that after he awakened the feature of "blood-sucking", he repeatedly reminded him that he needed to suck blood, Lu Shi's blood.
When he is full, this reminder has no meaning.
"so."
Chu Yu raised his head, "What?"
"So, it is very likely that your blood-sucking feature has been completely stimulated. 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 now-known conditions."
Lu Shi looked at Chu Yu, he was almost certain that his blood was special to Chu Yu.
Not only the taste, but even, possibly, Chu Yu could only suck his blood.
This guess made Lu Shi's eyes as dark as night, as if a few stars were faintly hidden.
"Let's go, go back, we have class tomorrow."
Lu Shi got up, didn't care about the soaked black school pants, held the umbrella in his right hand, and walked out of Jiexin Park.
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 branches in his hand, and chased after him, "Wait for me, I'll be with you!"
The two returned to the school, at a fork in the road, and saw Lu Shi walking in the direction of the cafeteria. Chu Yu followed two steps and realized that he was full, but Lu Shi estimated that he hadn't eaten yet.
The point is, he has also sucked so much blood by himself.
For a while, guilt filled his heart, Chu Yu hurriedly pulled out his school card, "Would you like to—"
"No, I have it myself."
Lu Shi looked at Chu Yu's clothes that were soaking wet and were about to dry naturally, "Go back to take a shower first."
"Huh? Oh, good."
Without following up, Chu Yu stood where he was, looking at the warm light of the street lamp, which was not too bright, Lu Shi slowly walked away, and then he woke up and walked to the dormitory.
After taking a hot bath and wrapping in his 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 holding his breath and dialing a number.
"mom-"
"Hello, young master, I'm Mr. Shi's assistant. Mr. Shi is currently in a meeting. The meeting is expected to end in forty-eight minutes. If you have an urgent matter, I can convey it on your behalf."
The expression on his face was too late to adjust, and it stagnated slightly.
But since he had memory, he called his mother nine times out of ten. In the same way, he could not only memorize it, but also imitate his tone.
However, Chu Yu was still not used to it.
Leaning on the edge of the desk, Chu Yu squeezed a triangle in his hand and lowered his eyelashes to hide his emotions.
"Then I'll call back in forty-eight minutes."
"OK."
When the call is hung up, 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 found that he did not have Lu Shi's contact information.
Lying on the bed, Chu Yu swiped aimlessly at the mobile phone interface, and suddenly saw the QQ prompt message 99+, he clicked it, it was a class group.
[Academic Committee - Fang Ziqi]: About study, father and son bureau, whoever puts the pen first, who is the son, come
[Monitor - Zhang Yueshan]: Son, come.
[Civilian-Li Hua]: Do you write English papers? Are you going to write to me again
The following string of hahaha, mixed with a few "come" characters, responded to the academic committee.
Chu Yu tapped the screen to type.
[School Flower-Chu Yu]: I'll come too.
[School Flower-Chu Yu]: No, why is my title a school flower
[School Committee - Fang Ziqi]: Because the school flower is you, you are the school flower. We are responsible for studying hard, you are responsible for being beautiful!
[School Flower-Chu Yu]: Googling, I love learning, and learning makes me happy!
After sending two emojis, Chu Yu cut to the homepage of the class group and found Lu Shi's name from the member list.
Clicking on the temporary conversation, Chu Yu's fingertips were hanging on the keyboard, not knowing what to write.
He is really unfamiliar with Lu Shi. Although he has a strange bond now, he is still unfamiliar.
Chu Yu struggled for a long time, thinking that it's okay, maybe the news will be annoying.
Staring at the time, Chu Yu dialed the phone number again on time.
It was still the assistant who answered the phone. After saying a few words, the phone was handed over to Shi Yaling.
Chu Yu was subconsciously nervous.
"Mother."
Shi Yaling is used to talking straight to the point, "What's the matter?"
This mode, on the contrary, made Chu Yu relax a little.
"I recently-"
My heart beat abruptly by half a beat. Chu Yu stopped talking.
It can't be said, at least, it can't be said for the time being to expose Lu Shi's existence.
Chu Yu knows his mother's thinking pattern and style of doing things well.
If, if he told himself that he was thirsty for blood, that he would die if he didn't suck blood, and that he could only accept Lu Shi's blood, then the follow-up would be completely beyond his control and intervention.
Whether it was for the Chu family or for him, his mother would never allow him. He had such a fatal weakness and was held by Lu Shi.
In order to eliminate this risk, his mother will definitely control Lu Shi first.
Maybe, starting tomorrow, Lu Shi will be forced to "bind" with him, be restricted from freedom, and become his mobile blood bank until he doesn't need blood, or until he dies.
He remembered again that it was raining heavily on the steps of Jiexin Park, and Lu Shi held an umbrella and gently touched his wet hair, his eyes were calm, and he told him not to be afraid.
"What happened recently? I'm busy, don't waste my time."
Chu Yu took a light breath, and didn't speak until his fast heartbeat returned to normal, his voice tightened, "I've been feeling very unwell recently, as if I'm sick, I always feel thirsty and hungry, but I have no appetite. It's not good, I can't eat anything, I vomit after eating. Also, my whole body continues to heat up for a long time, and my heart rate is a little faster."
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, not me." There was a ringing of the phone from Shi Yaling, and the assistant reported in a low voice, and then Shi Yaling was arranging things one by one.
Chu Yu waited quietly.
When I moved my fingers, I realized that I was too tense, and my knuckles were stiff.
After half a minute, Shi Yaling's voice resounded in the receiver, "What else?"
"No," Chu Yu turned sideways, curled up, and said into the receiver, "Pay attention to your body, you are too busy at work, and you should rest properly."
"I see."
"That-"
The phone hangs up.
Facing the air, Chu Yu finished the second half of the sentence, "Good night mom."
