Chapter 44.2 – I promised you

44th -I promised you

Under the illumination of the flashlights night light, they could see the stones on the ground. Zhang Yueshan pinched a few of them in his hand and moved his fingers like he was playing with a Rubiks Cube to relieve his anxiety.

School Flower, why arent you afraid? I wont hide it from you, Im really very scared. While telling myself to be calm, I cant help but be frightened. Im only 17 years old. I havent even taken the college entrance exam, nor have I seen my parents faces. Will I just right here? Thinking this way, I just cant calm down.

Chu Yu thought for a while. Its probably because Im not afraid of death.

He easily uttered the word death.

Chu Yu also stared at the little light of the night light.

His mother had already given up on him and was usually occupied with work. If he really couldnt return this time, Shi Yaling might still feel sad, but she was never a person whod let her emotions get the best of her, so shed soon be back to work.

His brother and sister would definitely cry. However, theyd soon fall in love, get married, have children, and have their own career, family, and future.

Time would easily whittle away the grief.

Lu Shi

Lu Shi.

Chu Yus heart seemed as if it was gripped tightly, a little uncomfortable.

If he died, what would happen to Lu Shi?

That day in the classroom, Lu Shi had said that if hed only live for a few years, then Chu Yu would be given a few years of his blood. Whereas if he lived for hundreds of years, then until death, his blood was Chu Yus.

Or, the two of them could simply die together. That way, after Lu Shi died, he wouldnt go around drinking other peoples blood.

Chu Yu thought, then what about me.

If I die before you, would you let others suck your blood?

No, it was unlikely.

After all, in this world, it was estimated that there was no second little monster who consumed blood like him.

He didnt want to have other people drinking Lu Shis blood.

Didnt want it one bit.

Darkness seemed capable of nibbling away all bright emotions.

Chu Yu was leaning on the clammy rock wall, thinking that it didnt matter if he suddenly died here, he was a blood-sucking monster anyway.

Cant.

Chu Yu shook his head and shouted stop at himself in his heart.

Cant have such thoughts.

It wasnt known how long it took, but suddenly there was an unbearable dry itching and slight pain in his throat. When the familiar heat surged from every blood vessel, Chu Yu realized he was thirsty for blood again.

Since having Lu Shis blood, Chu Yu hadnt experienced this unrelievable feeling of hunger for a long time.

Every nerve seemed to be roasting on fire. The blood vessels in his temples drew taut and throbbed, giving the illusion that theyd burst in the next moment.

Chu Yu shifted his position and plastered his hot palms on the rock wall. Class Rep, Ill sleep for a while. Im a little sleepy.

Zhang Yueshan, who was lost in thought, nodded when he heard his words. Okay, you go to sleep.

He said he was going to sleep, but Chu Yu didnt fall asleep much.

His consciousness floated back and forth between sleep and wakefulness. Lu Shis tranquil sleeping face sunken in a white pillow when hed woken up this morning involuntarily emerged in his mind. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a dark cave where a large group of black bats was suddenly flying out with their flapping wings.

In a trance, there was light at the entrance of the cave.

Chu Yu muttered, Someone came to save us?

School Flower, are you awake?

Hearing Zhang Yueshans voice, Chu Yu slowly sobered up and realized that he was dreaming, or hallucinating just now.

He rubbed his eyes. En, I woke up.

The flashlight was placed on the ground, akin to a small lighthouse in the dark.

Zhang Yueshan was worried. School Flower, are you ill? I heard you breathing heavily and thought that you had a fever, but I touched your forehead and it seems that you dont. The temperature was normal.

Chu Yu shook his head. I dont have a fever.

His throat was a bit hoarse.

At this time, Chu Yu smelled a faint bitter odor.

After a while, Chu Yu remembered that there was a wound on Zhang Yueshans lower back, so it should be the smell of his blood.

He wasnt hungry previously and didnt notice it.

But now that he was, he was instinctively sensitive to the smell of blood.

By the way, I found a good method!

Zhang Yueshan said excitedly, Isnt there a battery indicator on my flashlight? There are five bars in total. The night light can stay on for fifty hours, that is to say, every time an indicator light dies out, about ten hours have passed!

Chu Yu smiled and replied, Hmm, right, this way we can know the time.

When the second indicator light diminished, Chu Yus reaction had already begun to get sluggish. His heartbeat slammed against his eardrums and his brain was muddled.

He repeatedly pressed his hot palm and the back of his hand against the cold rock wall alternately.

Hearing a small sound, Chu Yu smiled and said, Class Rep, your stomach is calling.

He then pointed to the biscuits. Would you like to eat some first?

The hungry Zhang Yueshan tossed and turned but couldnt sleep. Unexpectedly, Chu Yu had heard the sound of his stomach grumbling. He was indeed quite hungry, but he also knew that they only had this little food in total.

Chu Yu knew what he was thinking. Its okay, we have four packs of biscuits. Open one pack and eat, and drink a little water as well. Then quickly sleep and have a good rest.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yueshan didnt object again. He opened a packet of biscuits, took out two pieces, and quickly put them in his mouth. He poured a bit of water into his mouth as he swallowed the food. The feeling of hunger in his stomach was only half gone.

Zhang Yueshan fell asleep.

Chu Yu stretched out his hand, took out the remaining piece of biscuit from the wrapping paper and hid it in his pocket, pretending that hed eaten a biscuit too.

At the villa.

Seeing Fang Ziqi coming in, Dream-Ge stood up abruptly and hurriedly asked, How is it? Did anyone find them?

Still the same, no progress.

Fang Ziqi poured hot water to reduce the moist and cold water vapor on his body.

The search and rescue team is already in place, but the most troublesome thing is that we cant confirm School Flower and Zhang Yueshans exact location. He gestured the numbers with his fingers. This time, the Qingming Mountain landslide has collapsed in three places, one in the south and two north of us. People went to these three locations and are looking everywhere. But, theres no definite aim for digging, thus theres no efficiency. Not to mention its a waste of rescue time.

Dream-Ge basically didnt sleep, so there was a layer of greenish black beneath his eyes. He patted his forehead and thought hard. When Class Rep took School Flower out of the villa, I asked where they were going to find Matsutakes. Class Rep answered that theyll leave it to luck.

Several people had been recalling the scenes before Zhang Yueshan and Chu Yu had left countless times, but they hadnt remembered any useful information.

Dream-Ge lay on the table, saying the words hed said an unknown number of times, If only I had persuaded them to stay when they were about to leave.

Li Hua patted Dream-Ge on the shoulder and said nothing.

Fang Ziqi put down the cup and suddenly remembered. By the way, wheres Lu-Shen?

Li Hua shook his head. I dont know, Lu-Shen went out last night and hasnt returned until now.

He still clearly remembered how Lu Shis face had suddenly paled when he learned that contact with Chu Yu had been lost and it was unknown whether hed met with disaster.

At that moment, hed worried if Lu Shi could stand stably.

Dream-Ges eyes were red. He wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and spoke in a low muffled voice, We were obviously still telling ghost stories the night before, why did this happen all of a sudden? School Flower and Class Rep are so good, surely they wont get into trouble, right?

Li Hua turned his face away, his eyes flushing badly.

Outside the villa, Shi Yaling, Chu Xi, and Chu Xuan were all there, listening to the analysis of experts from the search and rescue team.

According to several students, they left the door between 7:30 and 8:00 in the morning Based on their walking speed, here to here, is the farthest range they can go. But it doesnt rule out the possibility that they were washed down by the mudslide and buried. Also

Chu Xis assistant hurried over and leaned to Chu Xis ear. Young Master Yus classmate is looking for you!

Chu Xi wanted to wait a while before going, but when it reached her lips it changed to, Mom, Brother, you guys listen first.

Chu Xi walked to the villas yard.

A boy of 16 or 17 was standing on the lawn. His whole body was soaked with rain and because his clothes were sticking to his skin, his figure appeared thin. His attire was a bit dirty, probably due to walking through the woods for a long time, and several holes were cut into them. There were also blood marks scratched by branches and vines on the back of his hands.

His back was ramrod straight, but it seemed to be held up by a breath. When that breath dispersed, the boy would no longer be able to stand.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Lu Shi turned around and looked at Chu Xi.

Chu Xi met Lu Shis dark black eyes and felt that there wasnt the least bit of vitality in them, causing a chill to suddenly rise from the bottom of ones heart. She composed herself and said, I am Chu Yus sister. Were you looking for me because you have any clues?

His clean-cut hair: lit. fragmented/broken down hair. Idk what haircut that is -> I think it can be split or whatever at the front, as long as the sides are cut 2-3 inches high from the ear to the back. was drenched by the rain and stuck to his forehead. Lu Shis voice was very hoarse. Bring a few specialists and follow me, I found where Chu Yu is.
