Bite Your Fingertips
Chapter 42
The two of them returned to the classroom.
The entire building was empty. They could even hear the soft sound of footsteps.
On the sports field, they could hear the sound of starting guns, whistles, shouts, and the recitation of cheers from the radio.
Lu Shi walked in front with a bottle of mineral water in her hand.
Chu Yu felt an itch in his throat.
The classroom door opened.
The windows were open and the wind blew in.
The desks were neatly arranged with various textbooks and supplementary books stacked on top of them. The open test papers and notebooks rustled in the wind from time to time.
Lu Shi put the bottle of mineral water on the desk and leaned against the edge of the desk.
Chu Yu stood in his seat and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
He asked hesitantly, "Are … are you tired?"
"No."
Lu Shi asked directly, "Your shoulder?"
"Huh?
Okay, okay. "
Chu Yu licked his slightly dry lips.
Suddenly, Lu Shi leaned over and placed his hands on the side of his waist, exerting force.
Before Chu Yu realized what was going on, he found himself being carried by Lu Shi and sitting on the desk.
The pen on the desk fell to the ground with a thud.
Lu Shi let go but did not back away. Instead, she moved closer and put her shoulder in front of Chu Yu's mouth. "Bite it."
It was very close.
His whole body seemed to be enveloped by Lu Shi's breath and body temperature. Chu Yu was a little nervous and did not react for a few seconds.
Lu Shi asked softly, "You don't want to?"
"No."
Chu Yu quickly denied it.
He touched it with the tip of his tongue first. There should be a little sweat and a salty taste.
After biting it, blood flowed out. In an instant, an indescribable sweetness filled his mouth and slid down his throat.
Lu Shi made a soft hiss in his ear. It did not sound like pain, but more like pleasure.
Chu Yu did not care about this anymore. He was fascinated and slowly sucked Lu Shi's blood. Because he was not hungry, it was more like he was savoring the taste.
A huge sense of joy exploded in his mind and spread through his entire body through his nerves. Even his fingertips couldn't help but tremble.
He instinctively raised his hand and wrapped it around Lu Shi's back. He unconsciously tightened his grip until there were obvious creases in her clothes.
Time seemed to be stretched out. It wasn't until the sound of a gunshot came from afar that Chu Yu seemed to be awakened and suddenly came back to his senses.
She loosened her grip on Lu Shi's shoulder and licked the wound out of habit.
"Enough?"
"Yes, that's enough."
Chu Yu's tone was a little soft. His eyes were bright as he added, "It's not good for your body if you take in too much."
Lu Shi casually adjusted his collar.
There was no one else in the classroom, and all the voices were very far away. Chu Yu's fingers, which were resting on the side of his body, moved across the table and hesitated. "Lu Shi."
"Hmm?"
Chu Yu lowered his eyes. "I was reading a comic last night. It was about vampires and hunters. I couldn't sleep after reading it."
"Why?"
"That's right." Chu Yu's fingertips tightened and his voice became softer. "I was thinking, what if … I suddenly have a problem with sucking blood and it doesn't go away in the future?
What if … what if I have to suck blood for the next few decades? "
"Actually, I rarely take the initiative to think about these problems, but I'm … quite afraid."
"Afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid that I'll change species and that I'll live for hundreds of years or only a few years.
I'm afraid that I'll have to rely on sucking blood for the rest of my life without knowing why. "
Chu Yu said in a joking tone, "I'm also afraid that you'll have someone close to you in the future and have your own life and career.
I can't always pester you and suck your blood, right? "
No matter how much he pestered her, he couldn't pester her forever.
Chu Yu didn't sleep until early in the morning last night. It was as if all the thoughts that he usually suppressed had all erupted uncontrollably like a volcano. His mind was in a mess.
As usual, he tried his best to make himself happy and simplify his thinking. He didn't want to think too much and just let nature take its course.
However, at night, a person's emotional defenses would probably be much weaker.
He even got out of bed, grabbed a pen, and picked up the most beautiful piece of paper. He wrote a few big words on it: "My Will."
However, the tip of the pen hovered above the paper. He couldn't write the first word for a long time.
In the end, he threw the pen away, tore the paper into pieces, and threw them into the trash can.
Therefore, the unknown was the scariest. It was so scary that he didn't even have the chance to mentally prepare himself.
"I won't."
Chu Yu's fingers on the table suddenly loosened. "What?"
"I said, I won't."
Lu Shi looked at Chu Yu and said in a hoarse voice, "If you can only live for a few years, then I'll give you my blood for a few years.
If you can live for a few hundred years, then my blood will be yours until I die. "
"Or …"
Lu Shi's fingers traced along the side of Chu Yu's neck, down to his chin and cheeks, and finally stopped at the end of his eyes.
His voice was dangerous and seductive. "Or … die with me?
This way, after I die, you won't suck other people's blood. "
Chu Yu's pupils constricted.
But strangely, he didn't feel afraid.
It seemed like this suggestion wasn't bad?
He didn't know if he could accept other people's blood without Lu Shi.
And even if there was such a person, would that person be able to accept his blood-sucking characteristic? Would that person think he was a monster?
A blood-sucking little monster.
Chu Yu didn't break away from Lu Shi's hand. He looked into Lu Shi's eyes and commented, "This suggestion is not bad."
"God Lu, school belle, you guys really —"
Meng Ge pushed open the classroom door and stopped. Eh, he seemed to have seen God Lu touching the school belle's face?
Was he seeing things?
Meng Ge quickly raised his eyebrows and said, "My information was right. You guys really went back to the classroom to slack off!"
Chu Yu got down from his desk and asked Meng Ge, "What's wrong?"
Meng Ge patted his forehead and said worriedly, "It's all because of Fang Ziqi. He's too f * cking unreliable!
He's been nervous since he woke up. Just now, when it was his turn, he insisted on warming up. Fine, so be it. In the end, he just ran two steps and sprained his ankle. Damn it! "
"Sprained his ankle?
Is it serious? "
"It's not serious. It didn't hurt his bones, but he definitely can't run a thousand meters.
I discussed it with the class monitor and asked God Lu if he could replace Fang Ziqi to run on the field? "
After saying that, Meng Ge actually felt quite guilty.
It had been two months since school started. He and Lu Shi didn't seem to be close.
If they weren't close, they could talk about topics, eat together, and play basketball together.
Anyway, he wasn't confident.
Lu Shi didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Chu Yu with a questioning gaze.
Chu Yu understood. He first recalled that he had restrained himself from sucking blood. Then, he asked Lu Shi, "Do you still have strength?"
"Yes."
Chu Yu asked again in a low voice, "Do you think it's troublesome?"
"It's not troublesome."
"Then, do you want to help fill in the hole that the class monitor made?"
"Okay."
This back and forth conversation confused Meng Ge —
Why did the school belle decide whether God Lu wanted to run on the field?
What kind of operation was this?
At the registration area, Chu Yu helped Lu Shi with his phone and mineral water.
Zhang Yueshan was walking around Lu Shi, saying things like "Contribute to the class", "Fang Ziqi will definitely do anything to repay you for saving the game", and so on.
When the contestants stood at the starting point, the phone that Chu Yu was holding for Lu Shi suddenly rang.
The referee was already in place, so there was no time to call. Lu Shi stretched his body one last time and turned to Chu Yu. "Answer it for me."
The starting gun sounded. Lu Shi got off to a good start.
Chu Yu left the crowd cheering on the track and stood in an empty spot to answer the phone.
It was just a string of numbers and there was no caller ID. Chu Yu politely said, "Hello."
A soft and gentle female voice came from the receiver. It sounded a little weak.
He didn't know if she was surprised that the call went through, or if she was unfamiliar with the voice, but after a while, she said, "Hello, where's Lu Shi?"
"I'm Lu Shi's classmate. He's busy right now. Is it convenient for you to call back in 15 minutes?"
"Oh, it's Lu Shi's classmate. I'm his mother."
Lu Shi's mother?
He remembered that Zhu Zhifei had mentioned to him that Lu Shi lived in his mother's old house on Qingchuan Road.
Lu Shi's mother, Zhu Zhifei's and Wei Guanglei's mothers were neighbors who grew up together.
However, he had never heard Lu Shi mention anything about his family. Not a single word.
Chu Yu considered his tone and said, "Hello, Auntie."
"Hello, I want to ask how Lu Shi is doing recently. Is he doing well?"
Fang Weiyun sighed softly. "This child hasn't been home for more than a year because of a small conflict. He doesn't answer my calls either.
I'm worried that he's out there alone.
Is … is he doing well? "
Chu Yu frowned.
This was a very strange thing to say.
When she wasn't sure about her relationship with Lu Shi, was it really okay for her to say that he hadn't been home for more than a year and didn't answer his calls because of a conflict with his mother?
His tone didn't change. "Lu Shi is doing well. Don't worry."
"That's good."
Fang Weiyun smiled and said, "I haven't been feeling well recently. I've been having bad headaches and can't sleep at night. I'm always worried that he's sick or lost weight, or that something has happened to him.
Now that I know that he's doing well, I'm relieved. "
Chu Yu's frown deepened.
He had a feeling that this auntie's words had a hidden meaning.
Was she telling him that Lu Shi was unfilial and didn't even visit his mother when she was sick?
Chu Yu's eyes followed Lu Shi on the track. When he saw that he was on the last lap, he said into the phone, "Auntie, I have something to do now. I'll hang up first."
Lu Shi rushed to the finish line in first place. Zhang Yueshan eagerly handed him a towel and a glass of water. He said excitedly, "Why do I feel that it's only the first half of the day and the school team's first place is already waving at us?
God Lu, thank you for your hard work! "
Lu Shi responded and turned to Chu Yu. "Who called just now?"
Chu Yu didn't answer.
Zhang Yueshan understood and waved his hand. "I'm going to check on the other students. School Belle, I'll leave God Lu to you!"
After Zhang Yueshan left, Chu Yu handed the phone to Lu Shi. "That person said that she's your mother."
Chu Yu sensed that Lu Shi's aura dropped by ten degrees when he heard this sentence.
He subconsciously tightened his grip on the mineral water bottle, causing it to cave in.
Chu Yu felt that something wasn't right. He wanted to change the topic, but Lu Shi didn't want to. "What did she say to you?"
"I said that you're busy and that I'm your classmate," Chu Yu wanted to gloss over it. "She said some nonsense, so I told her that you're fine."
"What did she say?"
Lu Shi asked again.
Chu Yu didn't beat around the bush this time and told him the truth. "She said that because of a small conflict, you didn't answer your phone or come home for more than a year.
She also said that she's sick and isn't feeling well. "
She saw Lu Shi looking at her with a heavy gaze. His expression was no different from usual, but Chu Yu felt that Lu Shi seemed to be … a little nervous?
He didn't know if it was an illusion or not.
After hesitating for two seconds, Chu Yu said tactfully, "Anyway, I just feel that her words are weird."
Then he saw Lu Shi smile.
It was the kind of smile that was in a good mood.
Chu Yu looked at him and felt that this person looked a little too good when he smiled.
