Bite Your Fingertips

Chapter 42: What did she say

42nd What did she say

The two went back to the classroom.

The whole school building was empty, so their faint footsteps were audible.

From the sports field, distant sounds of starting guns, whistles, shouts, and speakers singing and cheering chants could be heard.

Lu Shi walked in front with his arms hanging down, carrying a bottle of mineral water.

Chu Yus throat was itchy.

The classroom door opened.

The windows were unshut and wind was blowing in.

The desks were neatly arranged and there were various textbooks and reference books stacked on top of them. Unfolded test papers and notebooks were being blown by the wind, making soft rustles from time to time.

Lu Shi put the mineral water bottle on a desk and leaned his lower back against the edge of the table in the process.

Chu Yu stood at his seat and suddenly felt somewhat uneasy.

He moved his mouth and asked, A-are you tired?

Not tired.

Lu Shi questioned directly, Shoulder?

Huh? Al-alright.

Chu Yu licked his slightly dry lips.

Suddenly, Lu Shi leaned over and placed his hands on the sides of the others waist and exerted force.

Before realizing what was occurring, Chu Yu found himself picked up by Lu Shi and seated on the desk.

The pen on the desk fell to the floor with a pata.

Lu Shi let go, but didnt back away. Instead, he inched closer and delivered his shoulder to Chu Yus mouth. Bite ba.

Very close.

His whole person seemed to be enveloped by Lu Shis scent and body temperature. Chu Yu was a little nervous and didnt respond for several seconds.

Lu Shi softly asked, Dont want to?

No.

Chu Yu promptly denied it.

He touched it with the tip of his tongue first, assuming that there would be a hint of the salty taste of sweat. After biting down, blood spilled out, and in an instant, an indescribable sweetness filled his mouth and slipped down his throat.

Beside his ear, Lu Shi made a light hiss, not like in pain, but more like in utter comfort.

Chu Yu couldnt care about that anymore. He slowly sucked Lu Shis blood, fascinated. Because he wasnt hungry, it was more of sampling the flavor. A huge sense of pleasure exploded from his brain, spreading along his nerves to his whole body, causing his fingertips to uncontrollably tremble.

He instinctively lifted his hands, embraced Lu Shis back, and unconsciously tightened, then tightened some more, until the other partys clothes were distinctly wrinkled under his grip.

Time appeared to have stretched, until a bang sound of a gunshot came from a distance. Chu Yu then seemed to be awakened and abruptly returned to his senses.

His teeth also released Lu Shis shoulder, as he habitually licked the wound with the tip of his tongue.

Enough?

Mm, enough.

The tone of Chu Yus speech was a bit vaguely soft, and his eyes were bright as he added another sentence, Sucking too much isnt good for your body.

Lu Shi casually arranged his collar.

There was no other person in the classroom, and all the voices were far from there. Chu Yu stroked the table with his fingers hanging down beside him, hesitating. Lu Shi.

Hm?

Chu Yu lowered his eyes. I read a manga last night, its about vampires and hunters, and I couldnt sleep after reading it.

Why?

Because, Chu Yus voice became softer along with his fingertips pressing harder, I was thinking, what if this blood-sucking problem of mine that suddenly appeared, wont disappear in the future? T-that, what should I do if after several decades, I still need to drink blood?

In fact, I rarely take the initiative to think about these issues, but Im just very scared.

Scared of what?

I am afraid that if I change species, Ill live for hundreds of years, or maybe just a few years. Im afraid that in this life, Id have to live by consuming blood, never knowing why.

Chu Yu stated in a joking tone, Im also afraid that youll have someone dear to you, have your own life and career in the future. I cant always pester you and suck your blood.

No matter how he clung, he couldnt cling for a lifetime.

Chu Yu didnt fall asleep last night until early in the morning. Just like a suppressed thought in the weekdays which erupted like a volcano and uncontrollably jumped out, filling his mind until it was all messed up.

He customarily tried to make himself happy, keeping his thoughts simple, not overthinking, and letting nature take its course.

However, at night, peoples emotional defense line was reckoned to be much weaker.

He even flipped over and got off the bed to grab a pen. After deciding and comparing, he chose the most beautiful piece of paper and wrote a few large characters: My suicide note.

But the pen tip hovered over the paper for a long time, unable to write the first word.

Finally, he threw away the pen, tore the paper to pieces, and threw it into the trash can.

In other words, the unknown was the most terrifying. It was so terrible that it presented no opportunity for psychological preparation.

Wont.

Chu Yus fingers pressing against the desk suddenly loosened. What?

I said, I wont.

Lu Shi stared at Chu Yu as he spoke in a husky voice, If you can only live for a few years, then my blood will be given to you during those few years. If youll live for hundreds of years, then until I die, my blood will be yours.

Or-

Lu Shis fingers traced Chu Yus neck to his jaw, cheek, and finally stopped at the end of his eyes.

His voice was dangerous yet captivating. Or, die with me? This way, after I die, you wont drink other peoples blood.

Chu Yus pupils shrank.

But strangely, he actually didnt feel afraid.

It seemed like this suggestion also wasnt bad?

Plus, he didnt even know if he could accept anothers blood if Lu Shi was gone.

And even if there was such a person, could they accept his blood-sucking trait? Would they think that he was a monster?

A little blood-sucking monster.

Chu Yu didnt move away from Lu Shis hands. He looked him in the eyes and remarked, This proposal isnt bad.

Lu-Shen, School Flower, so you two really

Dream-Ge pushed open the classroom door and his voice halted. Yi, it seemed like he just saw Lu-Shen touching School Flowers face?

Blurred vision?

Anyway, Dream-Ge then raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, my information was correct. You two really quietly went back to the classroom to laze around!

Chu Yu got off the desk and asked Dream-Ge, Whats the matter?

The anxious Dream-Ge patted his forehead. If it isnt fucking Fang Ziqi being too unreliable! He was nervous from the moment he got out of bed. Earlier, when it was almost his turn, he insisted on doing warm ups, thats right, when its burning hot. As a result, he barely ran two steps when his foot sprained, that deceitful pit!

Sprain? Is it serious?

Miraculously, it isnt very serious. No bones were injured, but that guy will definitely not be able to run a thousand meter. After discussing with Class Rep, I was sent to ask Lu-Shen if he could run on behalf of Fang Ziqi?

After speaking, Dream-Ge was actually quite guilty deep inside.

Two months after school started, he and Lu Shi were talking acquaintances, but they didnt seem to be familiar either. In regards to being unfamiliar, talking about topics, eating together, and playing basketball were all of no problem.

But still, there was uncertainty in his heart.

Lu Shi didnt answer immediately, but rather looked towards Chu Yu and inquired with his eyes.

Chu Yu tacitly understood. He first recalled that hed restrained himself from drinking blood, and had sucked very little. Then he asked Lu Shi, Do you still have some physical strength?

Have.

Chu Yu asked again in a low voice, Do you find it troublesome then?

No trouble.

Then, do you want to help fill in the pit made by the study committee member?

Its okay.

This Q and A conversation made Dream-Ge, who was listening, confused.

Isnt Lu-Shen the one participating in the run? Why make School Flower decide? What is this operation?

At the inspection location, Chu Yu helped Lu Shi by holding onto his phone and mineral water.

Zhang Yueshan wandered around Lu Shi, appearing repeatedly and saying things such as being the class tribute, Fang Ziqi must work like a cow to repay this times rescue of the show, and so on, then jumped out of the scene as if he didnt want money: lit. Dont want money or free of charge. Probably means he voluntarily did these things and doesnt want recognition .

When the contestants stood at the starting position, the phone Chu Yu was holding for Lu Shi suddenly rang. The referee was already in place and there was no time to answer the phone, so Lu Shi moved at the last moment. He tilted his head and said to Chu Yu, You help me answer.

The starting gun rang and Lu Shi started off smoothly.

Chu Yu exited the track and cheering crowd beside it, stood in an empty place, and answered the phone.

Since what was displayed was just a string of numbers without details, Chu Yu spoke politely, Hello.

What came from the earpiece was a mild, soft female voice, which was a bit weak. It was unknown whether it was due to surprise that the call was connected, or that the voice from the call was unfamiliar, but it took a slow half beat before there was a sound. Hello, wheres Lu Shi?

Im Lu Shis classmate. He has something going on right now. Is it convenient for you to call back in 15 minutes?

It turned out to be Lu Shis classmate, Im his mother.

Lu Shis mother?

He remembered Zhu Zhifei mentioning to him that Lu Shi lived in his mothers old house on Qingchuan Road. Lu Shis mother, Zhu Zhifeis and Wei Guangleis mothers were even neighbors whod grown up together.

But hed never heard Lu Shi say anything about his family, not a word.

Chu Yu pondered his tone. Hello, Auntie.

Hello, I want to ask, hows Lu Shi doing recently?

Fang Weiyun sighed softly. This kid, because of a little conflict, he hasnt been home for more than a year and wont answer my calls. Hes outside all by himself, so Im very worried. Is he okay lately?

Chu Yus brows wrinkled.

These words were quite strange.

While not being sure of his relationship with Lu Shi, she told him these falling out with mother, not coming home for more than a year, and not answering phone calls kind of things, was that really okay?

His tone of voice didnt change. Lu Shi is fine, please dont worry.

Thats good. Fang Weiyun explained with a smile, Im not in good health during this period of time. Ive been suffering from headaches and cant sleep at night. Im always worried that hell become ill and lose weight outside, or something else will happen. Now that I know hes fine, I feel relieved.

Chu Yus brows wrinkled tighter.

Hed been sensing some hidden meanings in this aunts words.

Was this her telling him that Lu Shi was unfilial, that his mother was sick and unwell, but he didnt even go back to check on her?

Chu Yus eyes were constantly following Lu Shi on the track. Seeing that hed reached the last lap, he said into the phone, Auntie, I have a little something at the moment, so Ill hang up the phone first.

Lu Shi dashed to the finish line, clinching first place. Zhang Yueshan attentively handed a towel and water while excitedly saying, Why do I feel that it has only been half of the first day, yet overall first is already waving at our team? Lu-Shen, youve worked hard!

Lu Shi responded and turned to Chu Yu. Who called just now?

Chu Yu didnt answer.

Zhang Yueshan perceived the atmosphere and waved his hand. Ill visit our other classmates, School Flower, Lu-Shen, Ill leave it to you!

When Zhang Yueshan left, Chu Yu handed the phone to Lu Shi. That person claimed she was your mother.

Chu Yu sensitively discovered that Lu Shis body aura probably dropped by ten degrees when he heard these words.

His hand holding the mineral water bottle subconsciously clenched, forming a dent.

Feeling uncomfortable, Chu Yu wanted to change the subject, but Lu Shi didnt want to. What did she say to you?

I said youre busy and Im your classmate. Chu Yu intended to gloss over it. She said some trivial matters and I replied that youre fine.

What did she say?

Lu Shi asked again.

Chu Yu was no longer vague this time and told the truth. She said that because of a little conflict, you didnt answer her calls nor returned home in more than a year. She also said that she was sick and unwell.

Seeing Lu Shi stare at him with a deep gaze and with his usual expression, Chu Yu still felt that Lu Shi seemed a little nervous?

He didnt know if it was an illusion.

After struggling for two seconds, Chu Yu stated euphemistically, Anyway, I think this is just what I think what she said was weird.

After that, he saw Lu Shi smile.

The kind of in-a-very-good-mood smile.

Chu Yu stared, thinking that this person was also a little too handsome when he smiled.
