Bite Your Fingertips
Chapter 46
Chu Yu had nightmares the night before. When he got into the car and went down the mountain, he was so sleepy that he dozed off.
He forced himself to stay awake and told Lu Shi about his dream last night.
"It was in that cave. I dreamt that I couldn't get out, and the class monitor wasn't there either.
Then, with a sizzling sound from the black fog, a lot of ghosts jumped out from nowhere!
Lu Shi, can you imagine?
They started having fun in the cave as if there was no one around!
Ghosts dancing and disco is not nice at all!
There was also a drummer, a DJ, and a DJ with a broken neck and broken hands. The scene was too painful to watch! "
"So it's not that you're not sleepy, but that you don't dare to sleep?"
After being exposed by Lu Shi, Chu Yu was not angry. He hummed and nodded. "I think there are some sequelae. I don't know if the class monitor has any. We can talk about it when we get to school."
"What sequelae?"
Chu Yu summarized, "First, it's the sequelae of the ghost story. I really won't participate in any ghost story conventions anymore!
Second, I'm afraid of the dark.
Third, I had a hallucination in the cave. I kept feeling that someone was coming to save me, but when I woke up, I realized that it was fake.
Now, I'm a little … "
Chu Yu did not know how to describe it. "It's … It's just that I keep feeling that I'm dreaming now, and that I'm still trapped in the cave at night. That's the real thing.
I might not be able to distinguish between reality and dreams. "
He leaned his head against the car window dejectedly and lowered his voice. "My brother contacted a psychiatrist for me, but I don't want to see him.
Don't they say that psychiatrists are very good at hypnosis? What if I accidentally tell him my little secret?
The psychiatrist will probably think that I'm crazy and delusional. "
When he first developed the problem of sucking blood, Chu Yu had also flipped through psychology books. There were a few psychological explanations for his behavior of sucking blood.
"Then don't go."
Lu Shi reached out and grabbed Chu Yu's neck. He pulled him over and pressed him against his shoulder. "Go to sleep."
"No, I'm not going to sleep. What if I dream of ugly ghosts in the cave?"
"No, I won't dream of it."
Perhaps it was Lu Shi's hypnosis that worked, but when Chu Yu woke up, he realized that he did not have any dreams.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the dormitory building, Chu Yu hopped out of the car with one leg and was surrounded by people.
Meng Ge patted Chu Yu's shoulder. "You're finally back. Without you in school, it feels like there's something missing!"
Chu Yu laughed out loud. "Meng Ge, where did you go to learn 180 different ways to flatter someone?"
Meng Ge scratched the back of his head. "I've always known how to do that!" He coughed twice. "But, isn't my flattery a little more powerful now?
I always feel like I'm not good at chatting with girls.
According to the advice online, you have to practice more in your daily life. "
Chu Yu felt that he had indeed made progress. He was also concerned about Meng Ge's love life. "You haven't won her yet?"
"How can it be so fast?
She told me to study hard and not be distracted.
I've studied hard, but I still miss her. I really can't control my feelings. "
Zhang Yueshan was too lazy to listen to Meng Ge's conflicted thoughts. He showed his bandaged hand to Chu Yu. "Do I look like a ninja?
Handsome, right? "
Chu Yu looked at Zhang Yueshan's hand and then looked at his foot. He felt that Zhang Yueshan's hand was indeed many times better looking than his. How infuriating!
When they went upstairs, Meng Ge and Li Hua carried Chu Yu up the stairs. They did not give him a chance to touch the ground at all.
When they arrived at the dormitory, Chu Yu rummaged through a pile of snacks. The group of people quarreled until it was dark before they left.
At night, Zhu Zhifei also came to knock on the door. When he saw Chu Yu, his eyes immediately turned red.
Chu Yu pointed at his foot. "Other than spraining my ankle, I don't have any other injuries. I'm also fine."
Zhu Zhifei sniffed and could not help but laugh. "I haven't even asked yet. Why did you answer first?"
"Didn't I say that because I have experience?"
Chu Yu's eyes curved into crescents as he smiled. He pretended to sigh. "Ah, good will be rewarded. I guess I'm too kind. Even God can't bear to accept me."
Zhu Zhifei laughed. "There's another saying. Fortune favors fools!"
Chu Yu threw the tissue paper in his hand at him and scolded jokingly. "Is there anyone who visits a patient like you?"
"Didn't I set a precedent?"
Zhu Zhifei threw the tissue paper back and looked inside. "Where's Lu Ge?"
"Lu Ge went to eat. Help me pack some food while you're at it."
"Okay then. I'll go back first.
I've been going to cram school all day. I'm so busy that I haven't even finished my homework. "Zhu Zhifei was relieved after he confirmed that Chu Yu was fine. He even closed the door carefully before he left.
After everyone left, Chu Yu was the only one left in the dormitory.
He sat on the carpet in a daze for a while. Then he propped himself up, hopped on one leg, and turned on all the lights.
When the entire dormitory was lit up, he thought for a while and found an unused flashlight from the glove compartment. He stuffed it into his school bag.
Chu Yu carried his school bag and put it aside. Then he sat down again and randomly found a comic book to read.
In the evening, Chu Yu responded to everyone's condolences in the class group chat. He called Chu Xi and Chu Xuan to report the situation. He also listened to his Aunt Lan nagging for half an hour on the phone. Chu Yu looked at the time and realized that it was almost midnight. He lay on the bed and prepared to sleep.
However, after closing his eyes for a while, he sat up again, took his school bag, and placed it beside his pillow.
After falling asleep in a daze, Chu Yu suddenly felt the bed shake violently. Sand and stones kept falling from the ceiling.
He opened his eyes abruptly and instinctively jumped out of bed. However, he quickly realized that it was an illusion.
Under the bright light, Chu Yu leaned against the white wall and swallowed his saliva.
After looking around, Chu Yu was still breathing rapidly. His heart was beating faster and faster. He couldn't calm down no matter how hard he tried.
Chu Yu grabbed his new phone and instinctively called Lu Shi. He didn't even realize that his voice was filled with fear.
"Lu Shi, can … can you come over?"
In less than two minutes, the door was unlocked. Lu Shi opened the door and came in with the key.
Chu Yu stood against the wall and stared at him without moving an inch.
Lu Shi didn't ask why all the lights were on in the middle of the night. He also didn't ask why he put his school bag beside his pillow and why he wasn't lying on the bed. Instead, he was standing barefoot against the wall.
He just walked over and lay down on Chu Yu's bed. "Come on, it's time to sleep."
The moment he saw Lu Shi, his heartbeat slowly calmed down.
Chu Yu composed himself, jumped over on one leg, and lay down on the bed again.
Chu Yu didn't know what to say. "Did you sleep just now?"
"No, I took a shower. I'm doing practice questions."
"Practice questions?
Which subject? "
"Physics."
"Oh." After Chu Yu asked, he asked again, "Are the questions difficult?"
"Not difficult."
Chu Yu still wanted to ask, but Lu Shi raised his hand and covered his eyes. "It's time to sleep."
"Okay."
Chu Yu stumbled and whispered, "Your hand … can you not take it away first?"
"Okay."
When he heard Lu Shi agree, Chu Yu became nervous again. "Do you think I'm so troublesome?"
He was a little afraid that Lu Shi would find him annoying.
"No."
At this moment, the phone vibrated.
Chu Yu propped himself up with his hand and looked over. "The phone is on the desk. It should be yours. Do you want me to get it for you?"
"Lie down."
Lu Shi got up and stepped barefoot on the carpet. He picked up the phone but didn't answer it.
Chu Yu hugged the blanket and looked at Lu Shi's tense face. He couldn't help but say, "If you don't want to answer it, don't answer it.
Or I can answer it for you. Just say that you're not here. How about that? "
"No need."
Lu Shi answered the call and put the receiver to his ear.
The phone was close and the room was very quiet. Chu Yu could vaguely hear a man talking. His tone wasn't very good. He seemed to be blaming Lu Shi for not answering his phone for the past two days.
Lu Shi was wearing loose black sweatpants and a gray T-shirt. He looked lazy with his left hand in his pocket and his eyes downcast. His expression didn't change at all.
"Are you listening or not?"
Lu Shi finally said, "I'm listening."
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while. Then, a woman's voice sounded.
Lu Shi saw that Chu Yu was listening attentively. The word "curiosity" was almost written on his face, so he put the call on speaker.
"Lu Shi, don't argue with your father. He's very worried about you because you haven't been answering your phone for the past two days."
Chu Yu immediately recognized the voice. It was Lu Shi's mother who spoke strangely!
He hugged the blanket and felt that this logic was very strange. When did Lu Shi argue with his father?
Fang Weiyun continued, "Last time, you promised your father that you would definitely come back for Grandpa's birthday banquet. Your father wants to ask you when you'll be home."
Lu Shi's voice was cold. "I'll be there on the day of the birthday banquet."
Lu Shaochu's words were full of anger. "He wants you to go home? Does he want your life or what?
You'll be there directly?
You might as well not come back! "
Lu Shi's tone was calm. "Really?"
He was obviously waiting for Lu Shaochu to agree so that he wouldn't be coming back.
"Lu Shi!"
Lu Shaochu was furious. After being persuaded by Fang Weiyun, he managed to suppress his anger. "Come back early. You're my only grandson. The guests are already here. How can you not be there?"
"Got it."
"Who do you think you're talking to with that tone of yours?
You — "
"Shaochu, don't be angry with the child. Let me talk to him." Fang Weiyun snatched the phone and said in a gentle voice, "Lu Shi, don't argue with your father.
You're alone outside. Mommy can't take care of you. You have to take care of yourself, okay?
The weather is cold. Wear more clothes. Don't be like Mommy, who can't even get out of bed when she's sick.
If you're sick, Mommy's heart will ache, won't it? "
Chu Yu felt that this aunt was starting to say these strange things again. He tried his best to make Lu Shi look bad.
He was a little worried that Lu Shi would be angry or sad. However, when he carefully observed Lu Shi's expression, he realized that Lu Shi was smiling. Her eyes were full of mockery and her tone was casual. "Are you done?"
Fang Weiyun was stunned. "Lu Shi, why are you talking to Mommy like that?
Are you in a bad mood? Did something happen to you outside? "
Chu Yu listened and watched from the side. He felt that Lu Shi was coldly watching a show.
Before Lu Shaochu could say anything, Lu Shi said, "I'm going to sleep." After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Lu Shi threw the phone aside and asked Chu Yu, "Is it interesting?"
Chu Yu nodded. "It's quite interesting. The way your mother talks … is still strange."
Lu Shi lay down again and pulled the blanket over herself to satisfy Chu Yu's curiosity. "She's not my mother."
Sure enough.
Chu Yu nodded. "Yes, I can tell."
When he realized that Lu Shi didn't want to say more, Chu Yu didn't ask further. He secretly imagined a big drama in his mind. At the same time, he felt sorry for Lu Shi, who had been ostracized by her stepmother. In the end, she had no choice but to run away from home and fend for herself.
"What are you thinking about?"
Chu Yu said frankly, "I'm thinking about you."
Lu Shi raised her hand and covered Chu Yu's eyes. "Don't think about it. Go to sleep."
Chu Yu obediently closed his eyes.
Chu Yu was woken up.
He felt a fingertip brushing against his lips. It was soft and itchy. The other party slowly slid along the line of his lips and finally stopped at the position of his lips. Moving down an inch, the fingertip reached directly into his mouth.
Then, very gently, but completely irresistibly, the fingertip pried open his teeth.
Chu Yu suddenly didn't dare to open his eyes.
He could feel Lu Shi's fingertip touching his tongue. It was as if the fingertip was toying with his tongue as it pressed up and down.
Then, the fingertip pushed against the soft and slippery inner wall of his mouth.
Chu Yu recalled the phone call Lu Shi had received before going to bed. He guessed that Lu Shi was probably a little emotional right now.
He tried his best to relax and didn't struggle. Instead, he loosened the finger that was holding Lu Shi and let him do whatever he wanted.
Until Lu Shi's other hand pinched his earlobe and whispered in his ear in a hoarse voice, "Since you're awake, bite down and tell me if you like the taste of my blood."
