36th -Only you
Trigger Warning: Self-harm
Chu Yu didnt notice any abnormality, and he wrinkled his nose. Hm, yeah.
If he was full and if he didnt specifically focus on slling other peoples blood, he wouldnt generally sense that much of a sll.
However, the blood of that gangster in the corner was truly too bitter and unpleasant. It was as if the odor was drilling into his nose, he didnt want to sll it at all.
Noticing that Lu Shi stepped behind him, Chu Yu fanned his nose with his hand while turning around and was stunned.
Lu Shi had conveniently placed the plastic bag on the ground. There were stead buns, soy milk, and a white transparent hard straw inside it.
One end of the straw had a sharp beveled opening.
Lu Shi took out the straw, held it in his right hand, and slashed it against the tip of his left index finger.
In the next second, crimson blood spilled out, seemingly thick and colorful on the cold white skin.
Chu Yus heart jumped twice.
He never knew that a straw could pierce the skin so easily.
Moreover, the mont Lu Shi had cut his skin with the sharp mouth, there was no hesitation or stagnation in his hand movent, and his expression was even duller, as if he were doing sothing hed normally do.
Behind the two of them, the several sleeve-tattooed guys found an opportunity, so they supported each other and ran away at lightning speed.
Soon, only Chu Yu and Lu Shi were left from the front of the narrow alley to its rear.
Lu Shi approached Chu Yu. Lowering his eyes, he ticulously sared the blood spilling from the tip of his index finger onto Chu Yus lips. His movents were soft and unhurried, they could even be described as gentle.
Does my blood sll good?
Already lingering at the tip of Chu Yus nose was a familiar fragrance.
He stood in place, letting Lu Shi sar it.
Until Lu Shi inquired with a low voice. He gazed into Lu Shis eyes and replied, It slls good.
The fingers movent stopped.
Lu Shis voice was like an ambiguous whisper among lovers, soft and husky. Then, why do you want to sll anothers blood, hmm?
Does his blood sll better than mine?
Chu Yu realized that Lu Shis current state was sowhat abnormal.
There wasnt his habitual coldness or indifference, and he didnt seem like the reserved and taciturn him during school tis, nor the hostile, frank, and violent him when fighting and beating people up.
His eyes were deep-black, as if covered with a layer of ink, where no light could shine through.
There was even sothing shocking within them paranoia.
A slight chill traveled up Chu Yus back while his heart was seemingly seized into shuddering.
The blood on his lips dried up as an uncomfortable and strained feeling arose.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing, but his throat seed to be fastened tightly with hoops for he couldnt utter a sound.
Lu Shi didnt receive an answer.
Suddenly, his expression beca completely cold and he took a step back.
The two didnt go to school together until the afternoon.
As usual, many students lined up by the elevator doors on the first floor. Neither Chu Yu nor Lu Shi went to squeeze in with them, instead choosing to climb the stairs.
On the fourth floor, they coincidentally ran into their horoom teacher Old Ye who was exiting the office.
Old Ye first saw Chu Yu who was walking in the front. He smiled, and with a gentle expression, concernedly asked, Has student Chu Yus illness gotten better?
His impression of Chu Yu was getting better and better. This student possessed a good temperant and a bright mind. When he wanted to study, he could calm down at least, very few students could stake everything all in one breath and study for over half a month, and then achieve an exam score ranking in the first two hundred of his grade. Whether it was due to the bet or his youthful spirit, it all proved that this student was greatly capable.
Chu Yu recalled the contents of the leave of absence Zhu Zhifei had described for him and promptly nodded. Thank you, Sir. Its much better now after taking dicine.
Good good good. But still, you cant just neglect your health on the basis of your young age.
Old Ye caught a glimpse of Lu Shi who was a few steps behind him. Lu Shi is here too ah. Have your family affairs been dealt with?
Lu Shi nodded. Mn, its been dealt with. Sir, Ill head to the classroom first.
Alright, go to your classmates to see the class notes of each subject from the past two days, dont fall behind.
Seeing Lu Shi walk towards the classroom, Chu Yu also wanted to follow. However, Old Ye rembered sothing and stopped him. By the way, you had a bit of a problem with your poem writingThe written poem/poem writing theyre talking about is the one morized from the book and written down as a test, different from poem composition. yesterday. Co, lets talk in my office.
Old Ye carried the touch of a scholars refined temperant. When facing the students, he seldom spoke sternly. If sothing was the matter, it was always, Co, lets have a chat in my office.
But most of the students in Class A didnt like chatting with Old Ye in his office because hed speak too much. His talk could pilgrimage from Yao and Shun Era to the Western Paradise, and could go from Confucius eastward lobbying to cutting trees in Washington.
From the pile of written poem papers, Old Ye singled out Chu Yus. Your writing before the monthly exam was basically alright, but this ti, theres a little too many mistakes.
Chu Yu knew very well in his heart, it was absolutely not just a little too many.
He hadnt morized it, not did he bother stealthily flipping through the book. He wrote a few words casually if he had an impression and left it blank if he didnt.
Old Ye didnt keep harping on as usual. He touched on the subject and left it there without saying too much. If you cant write it from mory, please morize it carefully. You can head to the classroom to rest. No matter what happens, you can co and talk with Teacher.
Chu Yu exited the office and walked along the corridor to the classroom.
A sparrow landed on the railing, but soon fluttered its wings and flew away.
Chu Yu rembered that during exam ti, hed stand in the corridor and take two breaths of fresh air in between classes, his mind full of poems and formulas circulating in a loop.
Before this, he himself couldnt imagine that in order to accomplish one thing and reach his goal, he could work so hard.
But what was the use?
Chu Yu stopped thinking about it.
As soon as Chu Yu went to his seat and sat down, Zhang Yueshan turned around. Covering the lower half of his face with a book, he asked in a low and muffled voice, School Flower, did you arrive with Lu-Shen?
Yeah, whats the matter?
Zhang Yueshan was worried. Lu-Shen has a two-ter-eight aura fieldManifestation of his terrible mood, just dramatically explained by Zhang Yueshan. Im guessing its a cold aura field based on the next sentence. today. Theres this feeling of getting frostbite when passing in front of him! Ive been saving questions for two, three days now and wanted to ask, but I didnt succeed in mustering up the courage!
Chu Yu ca up with an idea. Rep, how about you save up those questions again?
Okay, when Lu-Shen feels better, Ill ask then.
It was English class in the afternoon.
The English teacher entered the classroom carrying textbooks and lesson plans, and greeted them very vigorously only to receive a diocre response.
It was easy to get sleepy in the afternoon, so many students were dozing off. Only the few in the front rows who had good grades responded energetically. Majority of the rest were displaying fancy sleeping positions.
The English teacher was very accustod to this situation, having had a few conversations with the English class representative. Opening the English book, the English teacher asked Li Hua to get up and read the text aloud.
It may be because his na felt particularly cordialLi Huas na rely ans plum flower or magnificent plum. The teacher mightve felt the na cordial because it is often used as an example in textbooks. that the English teacher favored Li Hua so much, resulting in him never daring to doze off during English class.
And since Chu Yu had earned a good score of 148 in the monthly English test, hed quickly beco a favorite for English teachers to call on and ask.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Hua sat down, Chu Yu was called up to answer questions.
Li Hua turned around and whispered, Achieved the second-to-be-asked consecutive accomplishnt once again!
Halfway through the class, Chu Yu lay down. Not because he was sleepy, after all, hed slept well last night and didnt get up early in the morning. He just couldnt help thinking about the matter of this morning.
The bloody cut created by a plastic straw, as well as Lu Shis gloomy expression as he sared blood on his lips.
He began to contemplate them.
The first ti hed sucked Lu Shis blood was in the school infirmary. He wasnt aware of it and even regarded it as a dream. Afterwards, Lu Shi had pulled apart his own clothes in the glass greenhouse and let him bite down.
From then on, hed drink Lu Shis blood till he was full almost every day.
Lu Shis attitude and reactions were too ordinary and taken for granted. As a result, Chu Yu seed to have entered a blind spot and didnt notice the abnormality.
He and Lu Shi didnt have a deep friendship or a close relationship. After all, it hadnt been long since they t each other.
But Lu Shi quickly accepted Chu Yus bloodthirsty nature and was even willing to donate blood every day without delay.
No, Lu Shi had even discovered this bloodthirst before Chu Yu himself.
Chu Yu squeezed the pen and unconsciously drew countless disorderly black lines on the paper, tangled together like a ball of wool.
He suddenly realized that he needed Lu Shis blood no he needed only Lu Shis blood. This point seed to hold a very special aning for Lu Shi.
Therefore, when he went to carefully sll that odor this morning, Lu Shi reacted so fiercely and questioned why he wanted to sll soone elses blood, and if it slled better than his.
At that mont, Chu Yu admitted that hed been frightened to the point of not knowing how to answer.
But looking back at it now, Lu Shi seed to have been more scared than him.
Zhang Yueshan and Li Hua were the first to find sothing amiss.
These two sitting in front of Chu Yu had been deeply moved by their relationship.
At the start, they had found each other disagreeable and were mutually repulsed by having to sit at the sa table with the other. Then they had unexpectedly arranged their tables specifically in a row, one in front and one behind. Later on, it wasnt known what had happened, but the two had begun exchanging a few words occasionally.
Afterwards, twice School Flower had spent every three days bringing chicken soup to Lu Shi who gave supplentary lessons to Chu Yu conscientiously.
Due to these circumstances, they believed that the two had already entered into a harmonious relationship between front and back tables. They didnt expect that in the blink of an eye, it would instantly resemble winter.
Zhang Yueshan rubbed his arms and lanted with a long tone, Ah, its so cold.
Li Hua sowhat understood and also rubbed his arms, sighing with emotion. Ai, its really cold! When will spring return?
The two looked at each other, both seeing the worry in the others eyes when will this cold winter pass?
Dream-Ge, who ca over to play, saw Zhang Yueshan and Li Hua brushing their arms and sneered. Hahaha, you two weak chickens. Ill let you guys play basketball with so you can keep fit and have a healthy body. This wont do, it isnt even winter yet, but youre cold to the point of getting goosebumps!
Li Hua stated indistinctly, You dont understand.
Having said that, he carefully took a glance and found that Chu Yu was lying on his stomach, his posture unchanged. He didnt know if he was asleep or not. Lu Shi was answering questions, the expression on his face much icier than before.
At this mont, the cold ocean current from Western Siberia chilled his heart.
The air pressure between the two people was getting lower and lower. Even until the end of the evening self-study, Chu Yu and Lu Shi hadnt uttered a word.
Chu Yu looked back several tis, but still didnt say anything.
He didnt know what to say, or perhaps, he hadnt fully figured it out yet.
The bell rang and Dream-Ge dashed out of the classroom back door holding his basketball. Zhang Yueshan and Li Hua tidied up their school bags, sent a aningful glance to each other, and finally asked Chu Yu, School Flower, the cafeteria, do you want to go together?
Chu Yus mind was preoccupied, so his reaction was two seconds late before answering, Its fine, you guys go quickly ba. I wont go, Ill return straight to the dorm.
Without taking his textbooks, Chu Yu carried the comic book he hadnt finished reading and stood up to leave.
Lu Shi didnt lift his eyelids.
Zhang Yueshan and Li Hua looked at each other again it seed that the arduously cultivated friendship between the front and back desks had already capsized.
It took Chu Yu an hour or two to finish reading the comic book, and he couldnt even count the number of tis he went into a daze in the process.
As he was preparing to get up and take a bath, his phone rang. It was Zhu Zhifei.
School Flower, have you seen Lu-Ge?
Hes not in the dormitory?
No, I went to his dorm room and knocked on the door, but he wasnt there. Nor in the cafeteria as well. In fact, Lu-Ges an adult and I shouldnt be nervous, but Ive been a bit suspicious these past two days. Im always worried that hell do sothing stimulating in his bad mood. Zhu Zhifei sighed loudly. Im obviously only seventeen years old, but I unexpectedly possess an old mothers heart!
It shouldnt be, Chu Yu comforted Zhu Zhifei, Ill also look for him at school. Ill contact you later.
The weather in October beca cold at night after it rained.
Before Chu Yu left, he picked up a jacket in passing and once out the door, he noticed that it was Lu Shis.
After wearing it, he wasnt able to return it. Lu Shi didnt ntion it and he also forgot.
Putting it on, Chu Yu went downstairs.
Street lights were lit everywhere in the school and the school building, under the dark blue sky, only left behind a dark silhouette.
When he got downstairs, Chu Yu wrapped the jacket close, only to realize that he didnt even know where to find Lu Shi.
Lu Shi was very self-disciplined. His daily activities comnced in the classrooms, the dormitory, and the cafeteria. Occasionally, he went to the court with Dream-Ge to play basketball.
After thinking about it, Chu Yu decided to try his luck and went to the basketball court first to search.
It was already late and there was no one on the court. The street light next to it cast a bit of light, which was very fuzzy.
Chu Yu went in, looked around, and saw no one. He was about to switch to another place when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person sitting under the basketball hoop.
Almost at a glance, Chu Yu was sure that it was Lu Shi.
He walked over.
Lu Shi, who sat there, wasnt surprised when he saw Chu Yu. Hungry?
No.
Chu Yu stood still for two seconds before sitting down next to Lu Shi.
The night breeze blew and the green shrubs planted by the side of the stadium rustled.
Such a scene reminded Chu Yu of when he had sat on the steps of the street park the night he found out he needed to consu blood. Lu Shi had also sat next to him in the sa way.
Neither of them spoke.
After a long ti, Chu Yu asked, Does the wound on your finger hurt?
Doesnt hurt.
Chu Yu wanted to refute him; how could it not hurt? Using a plastic straw to pierce a layer of skin, it seriously hurts just thinking about it.
He placed his heel on the ground and subconsciously rubbed twice.
Lu Shi.
Mn.
When the words arrived at the tip of his tongue, Chu Yu swallowed them back.
Lu Shi stood up before his entanglent could bear fruit and said, Go back first.
But the next second, his sleeve was pulled. The strength wasnt heavy, but he couldnt throw it off, leaving him unable to move in the slightest.
Chu Yu tightened his fingers that were holding onto the cloth. His voice wasnt loud, rather his vocal cords were even dry. Its not like that.
Whats not like that?
Chu Yu had a feeling that Lu Shi was waiting for him to express his stance.
It was like a tacit understanding.
Throughout the whole afternoon until the evening, Lu Shi had been waiting for his answer.
Or, for a guarantee.
Chu Yu raised his head and stared straight at Lu Shis lowered eyes, his every word very clear. Only your blood slls good. Lu Shi, only you.
Lu Shis thin eyelids drooped as he repeated in a low voice, Only ?
En, only you.
In an instant, all the gloomy, sharp thorns on Lu Shis body were pressed down into the deepest part of his heart once again following these words.
He smiled, like the moon cleaving through clouds.
The author has sothing to say: Heres a moonlight shining on the ground, its also in the shape of a heart as my love for you~
Lu Shis behavior is very dangerous and painful, dont imitate it!
