Chapter 33 Success Lu Tinghe's eyes were filled with unspeakable darkness...
Take a picture, now?
His pants are off and his tail is still there, why are you patting him?
The phone fell into the bed with a click. Shi Shang's eyes widened in surprise, and the little heart at the tip of her tail popped out and hurriedly covered the front camera.
The lights in the dormitory were off and my roommates were all asleep. I could hear steady, even breathing coming from the bed opposite me.
Darkness as thick as ink came from all directions, surrounding the stunned Shi Shang. Only the screen blocked by the tail leaked a little light.
After being stunned for a moment, Shi Shang's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly came to her senses.
Why did Lu Tinghe want his photo?
Didn't he say that the only effective way to cure skin hunger is through physical contact?
After moving the tail that was blocking the screen, Shi Shang discovered that the message had been withdrawn and Lu Tinghe had sent two more messages.
[He: It's okay. I can't sleep, so I just need to deal with some paperwork. It's so late, Shangshang, go get some rest.]

Shi Shang looked at the cute kitten emoticon package typing, and a soft emotion suddenly surged in her heart.
I'm afraid that what I just said is what Lu Tinghe really thinks.
After hesitating for a moment, he typed a line of words.
[ss: Senior, what do you want my photo for?]
Instead of receiving a reply, Lu Tinghe's note on the chat window turned into the big words "typing".
Then, these words changed back to "Lu Tinghe" again, rising and falling several times, as if one could also glimpse the hesitation of the person opposite.
After several minutes, the message from the other side finally came.
[He: I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous and scared Shang Shang.] [Heartbroken]
[He: I missed hugging Shangshang so much, and I thought seeing Shangshang's photo would make me feel better. I accidentally said something strange, and I didn't expect it would make Shangshang feel embarrassed.]
[He: I will try my best to control my illness. Can you please stop being afraid of me?]
Shi Shang was a little overwhelmed by the messages that popped up one after another.
After shifting her gaze back and forth between several messages, Shi Shang finally understood what Lu Tinghe meant.
I'm apologizing for the message I sent earlier.
Although she was clearly feeling very uncomfortable, she still took the time to comfort him. Lu Tinghe valued their friendship more than he imagined.
The image of Lu Tinghe suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, with his brows lowered and his expression of guilt and self-blame.
Shi Shang's heart suddenly softened and she quickly replied.
[ss: I'm not scared of you, senior. I'm just a little surprised.]
Shi Shang, Shi Shang, have you forgotten the experience of not having enough to eat and tossing and turning in bed, feeling so uncomfortable that you couldn't fall asleep?
I'm afraid Lu Tinghe's current situation is no different from yours back then.
Since he fed you and now needs your help, how can you just ignore him?
In order to help Lu Tinghe effectively treat the disease, Shi Shang searched the Internet for some information.
According to the information, patients with skin hunger syndrome desire close contact with others. When the disease occurs, they may experience emotional problems such as loneliness and emptiness, or even physical discomfort.
Misunderstandings may also arise due to the inability to express needs appropriately, such as being mistakenly considered "overly clingy." ①
A picture suddenly appeared in Shi Shang's mind.
In the empty hotel room, Lu Tinghe lay weakly on the bed, unable to sleep due to the illness.
The young man's face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and he looked extremely painful. He unconsciously sent out a signal for help, but there was no one around who could help him.
Just thinking about it, Shi Shang felt as if her heart was being gripped by a big hand, causing it to hurt.
It's just a photo. Since it can help Lu Tinghe cure his illness, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just be careful and don't affect your roommates.
Shi Shang comforted herself, her tail wagging happily in front of her, and she hooked the folded pajamas next to her over.
[ss: No offense, senior, wait a minute, I'll take a picture of you.]
Lu Tinghe sat in front of the window, a smile on his lips, waiting patiently.
Not long after, the screen was lit up by a pop-up message, and he lowered his eyes to look at it.
The photo was taken from an upward perspective, and the phone seemed to be leaning against the soft quilt, with a vague outline of blue and white plaid visible at the edge.
Only a small area of warm yellow light was lit up in the dark bed curtains, making the boy in front of the camera look radiant and bright.
Shi Shang, who was in the center, tried hard to look directly into the camera, opened her eyes wide, and tried to make her gaze appear sincere and natural.
But her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her pink lips were slightly pursed and sunken, like a cherry that had been bitten not long ago, easily revealing her nervousness.
Lu Tinghe's thumb swept across that spot, and his mind instantly recalled the wet and soft touch of the two lips, and his eyes darkened a lot in an instant.
The beds in school were narrow, making it difficult to frame him in the photo. Shi Shang had to spread his legs, kneel on the bed and lean forward slightly to barely fit into the camera.
The light yellow pajamas were a bit too big, and the collar hung loosely around the neck, revealing half of the delicate collarbone.
Because of the kneeling posture, the trouser legs inevitably rolled up halfway, revealing the ankles. They were very thin, as fragile as flower branches, and seemed to be able to break with the slightest force.
Further down, the tender white instep was stretched somewhat awkwardly, and the curled toes were also delicate, round and cute.
Shi Shang's temperament is clean and pure, and her eyes are calm and pure. Although she has no intention of teasing, her body exudes temptation everywhere.
Pure and astringent.
Little succubus, born to seduce and captivate people.
There was an unspeakable darkness in Lu Tinghe's eyes, his chest was shaking, his breathing was heavy, and the restlessness in his heart was suddenly ignited.
The person who started the fire sent me an innocent message asking, "Is this photo okay?"
Shi Shang sat on the bed, holding the phone and waiting for a while. Her waist began to ache, and the reply came half a beat late.
[He: Thank you Shang Shang, I feel much better after seeing your photo. ][Heart]
[ss: I'm glad it's useful. Then you should go to bed early.]
[Send a little heart.jpg]
[He: Okay, good night, Shangshang.]
[receive the little heart.jpg]
Shi Shang's face flushed with excitement. The heavy stone hanging in her heart fell to the ground. The tail that had just been retracted emerged again and swung around excitedly.
It’s great that I can help Lu Tinghe! It’s really great!
He lay in bed for a while before calming down his excitement.
After a long time, Shi Shang began to feel sleepy. She turned over, hugged the pillow, leaned her whole body weight on it, closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.
He didn't know that Lu Tinghe on the other side replied to the message, put down his phone and went into the bathroom.
The sound of water in the bathroom continued until almost midnight.
*
The group photography assignment for the public course is scheduled for Thursday evening.
Shi Shang rushed to the wisteria corridor in front of the teaching building. Lin Zhuoran and other team members had arrived and were discussing something.
He thought he was late and apologized quickly with a red face.
Several girls burst out laughing and explained, "You're not late, we came early."
Zhuang Zhengya also smiled at Shi Shang and handed him the folder. "This is the final version of the script. Take a look first."
For this midterm assignment, Teacher Zheng asked them to form groups of six and shoot a ten-minute promotional video with the theme of "New Ideas Entering Campus".
Zhuang Zhengya served as the main planner, Shi Shang appeared in the film, Lin Zhuoran took the photos, and the rest of the people were responsible for costumes, props and post-production editing.
Before this, Shi Shang had read the script several times in advance, and the final version only modified some minor details compared to the previous ones.
He recited it silently a few times and soon became familiar with it. He said in a soft voice, "Okay."
The girls looked at each other, took out props from somewhere, and their eyes lit up. "Okay, let's start putting on makeup now!"
This was also the process they had agreed upon before. After a simple makeup, the camera effect would be better.
Shi Shang clenched her hands into fists stiffly and placed them on her knees. She sat quietly and obediently, allowing them to apply powder and makeup on her face.
After an unknown number of steps, "Okay!" the girls moved away from him, their eyes sparkling.
Lin Zhuoran's eyes also sparkled with excitement, and he exclaimed exaggeratedly as if he was amazed: "Shangshang, your skin is so white, this foundation suits you so well, and the eyeliner instantly makes your eyes look bigger."
A girl quickly agreed: "That's right, Shi Shang has a small face, flawless facial features, and good skin. I didn't even do any retouching. She is simply the perfect beauty blogger."
People around her said with a smile, "Pure natural beauty, this is the living signboard of our art school."
The atmosphere suddenly became lively, everyone was very enthusiastic, and Shi Shang felt a little embarrassed.
"Is it that exaggerated?" He took the makeup mirror, tilted his head and looked left and right, but didn't find any obvious changes.
Zhuang Zhengya coughed and said, "It's getting late, let's start filming. We have to finish the first half today."
Everyone: "Okay."
A few people packed up their things, found a perfect background wall, and started the shooting task.
Shi Shang wore a white shirt sponsored by Lin Zhuoran. She faced the camera with her back straight, recalling the contents of the script and speaking according to Zhuang Zhengya's instructions.
At the beginning, she was a little nervous and stumbling, but under everyone's encouraging gaze, Shi Shang became more and more confident as she spoke, and she quickly found the feeling and proceeded smoothly.
A few hours later, they finally finished filming.
Everyone was a little tired, so they went to a nearby convenience store and had a quick bite to eat.
Zhuang Zhengya reviewed the film in Lin Zhuoran's hand and commented, "Well, Shi Shang's performance is very natural, her posture is good, and her pronunciation is clear. The overall effect is great."
"But about that little topic later..." She thought for a few seconds and said sincerely, "Shi Shang's face is a little too tender, so her persuasiveness will be a little weak."
Shi Shang humbly said, "Yes, I also feel that the second half is more difficult to control, so the performance may not be that good."
Zhuang Zhengya gave him a soothing smile. "It's not your fault. It's Master Zheng who's asking too much. The previous part was done very well."
She looked around at everyone and asked, "We can find an outside helper. Do you have anyone suitable?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Zhuang Zhengya pondered and said, "Don't worry about it. Once we find the right person, we can reshoot the rest."
"Thank you all for your hard work today. It's getting late, so let's stop here."
After separating from Zhuang Zhengya and the others, Shi Shang strolled around with Lin Zhuoran for a while.
The two of them were walking along the tree-lined avenue with bare branches. Lin Zhuoran suddenly touched Shi Shang's shoulder and winked at him.
"Shang Shang, I think Senior Lu is the most suitable person to talk about the rest of the story."
Shi Shang also agreed. When Zhuang Zhengya suggested seeking external assistance, the first person that came to his mind was Lu Tinghe.
However, "Senior Lu is on a business trip and I don't know when he will be back. Besides, he is usually so busy with work that he may not have time."
Hearing this, Lin Zhuoran shook his head regretfully, "Okay then, let's look for someone else."
In the past two days, Shi Shang would take photos for Lu Tinghe from time to time. Except for the first time, he chose to take photos during the day.
Every time I asked about Lu Tinghe's condition, he said it was getting better.
Hugging and holding hands with top-notch SSS food is very effective. Shi Shang is not hungry even after not seeing it for a few days.
It would be great if Lu Tinghe was as easily satisfied as him.
After saying goodbye to Lin Zhuoran, Shi Shang returned to the dormitory.
I opened the door with my key, and the room was pitch black. My roommates had not returned yet.
Shi Shang turned on the light and took a change of clothes to the bathroom to take a shower while no one was in the dormitory.
Having not washed the wings for several days, Shi Shang specially took out the wings tonight, rubbed them into foam, and rubbed them carefully for a while. When she walked out of the bathroom, her steps were still a little unsteady.
As he walked into the room, there were several noises from the door lock.
Thinking that it was Jiang Yao and the others who came back, Shi Shang looked up unconsciously.
The next moment, his eyes lit up with surprise, "Senior!"
