Chapter 48: My thoughts were in a mess and my heart was filled with a sore feeling...
lovers.
Shi Shang knew that the relationship between lovers was much closer than that between good friends.
The Succubus Academy textbook says that when two humans fall deeply in love, they will develop a unique love for each other, which will in turn induce a desire for intimate contact with each other.
This kind of love and desire is unique and exclusive. No one can interfere with it, not even a succubus can change it.
Therefore, the first rule every new succubus learns when entering school is always - humans in love are not edible.
Shi Shang certainly knew this too.
The question is, does Lu Tinghe also fall in love?
This thought popped up in her mind uncontrollably, and Shi Shang suddenly felt a little depressed.
Humans are unconsciously attracted to their lovers and desire intimate contact with them.
In other words, once Lu Tinghe falls in love, his skin hunger will be cured without treatment.
Lu Tinghe might be like the young couple he ran into today, secretly hiding in a deserted place with his lover, unable to control himself and kissing passionately.
Or maybe, as the textbooks say, he will be immersed in his lover's loving eyes, his heart filled with unspeakable sweetness.
What about him?
He will never be able to eat Lu Tinghe again.
You can't hold hands with him, nor can you be hugged tightly by him.
A sour feeling secretly grows in a corner of my heart, quietly occupying my entire heart.
For a moment, Shi Shang was a little confused.
This bitter feeling of loss stems from the succubus's instinct to protect its food, which makes him subconsciously unwilling to share food.
Or is it for some other reason?
The feeling of emptiness and soreness in her heart was so strong that it even overwhelmed Shi Shang's worry about not having enough to eat.
It also made the devil confused and unpredictable, as if there was a vague gauze curtain between them.
He tried to open his eyes wide, but he couldn't see clearly what was hidden behind the gauze curtain.
Shi Shang sat there in a daze for a while, her mind still in a mess and she couldn't sort out her thoughts.
Seeing that his roommate was about to come back, he pursed his lips, climbed back to the upper bunk, took out his pajamas, and slowly went into the bathroom to wash up.
Turn on the warm light in the bathroom, adjust the water heater switch, and warm water will flow out from the shower head, and the surrounding temperature will rise rapidly.
Shi Shang closed her eyes, put her head under the shower, and shook it vigorously, trying to clear the strange thoughts in her mind.
The water wet his hair and face, and flowed from the slippery tips of the horns all the way to the tails, and the two smooth devil horns suddenly became wet.
Shi Shang likes water very much. When the hot water completely wraps around his body, it feels like he has returned to the safest place in the world.
The water gently hit his body, the crisp sound of water rang in his ears, and the irritability and discomfort in his heart were all washed away by the water.
Gradually, the unbalanced heartbeat returned to calm, and the two devil horns turned into stars and dissipated in the air.
When he opened his eyes again, the boy's eyes became clear and bright again, and all the accumulated worries were swept away.
Shi Shang wrapped her hair with a dry towel and returned to the room with a damp body.
He had just turned on the hair dryer when the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
Shi Shang pressed the open screen button and found that it was a message from Lu Tinghe.
The other party sent a message twenty minutes ago.
[He: Shang Shang, are you still feeling unwell? Have you taken any medicine?]
[He: If you still feel very uncomfortable, I will take you to the hospital.]
There was no reply, and he sent another one just seconds ago.
[He: Shang Shang, what's wrong?]
In order to get back to the dormitory earlier, Shi Shang lied and said that she caught a cold and had a headache.
Unexpectedly, she caused the other party to worry. Shi Shang suddenly felt guilty and quickly typed a line of words and sent it over.
[ss: It's okay, it's okay. I just took a hot shower and it feels much better now. The headache is gone.]
News from the other side followed closely.
[He: Okay, Shangshang, go to bed early. Good night.]
[Strong Bunny.jpg]
Seeing the cute bunny emoticon with one hand clenched into a fist, Shi Shang's expression suddenly fell and she felt depressed.
Lu Tinghe is so nice, the human he likes in the future will also be nice.
The hot water seemed to have lost its soothing effect, and the tingling and soreness in my heart surged up again.
——Don’t think about Shi Shang, it has nothing to do with you!
He shook his head, turned on the hair dryer to the highest setting, and blew it wildly at his hair. While blowing away his thoughts, he also successfully blew himself into a black-haired lion.
After drying my hair, Jiang Yao and Wen Cong also came back.
Shi Shang said hello to her roommates, then climbed back to the upper bunk, pulled down the bed curtains, and threw herself into the soft, thick quilt.
The thick quilt wrapped around my body, and darkness surged from all directions like a tide.
He thought he would have insomnia again tonight, but he was very tired after a busy day.
Before his brain could continue to wander, a strong sense of sleepiness swept over him.
Shi Shang's eyelids became heavy and she soon fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, Shi Shang was still a little nervous. She carefully paid attention to the changes in her body, fearing that there would be another fluctuation of magic power and the devil's horns would suddenly appear.
But for several days in a row, Shi Shang's body was normal and she did not feel hungry.
Reason took over her mind again, and Shi Shang came to a conclusion after repeated thinking.
It was all because the moonlight was too hazy that night. He wanted to kiss Lu Tinghe only because he was stimulated by the young couple.
The idea that his desire for Lu Tinghe had increased must have been his illusion.
*
On Thursday afternoon, Shi Shang went to Liu Yu's house as agreed to draw a picture for his pet dog Andy.
Liu Yu lives in a single-family villa area on the outskirts of Beijing, where the environment is quiet and security is tight.
If the Liu family's driver hadn't come to the school to pick him up, Shi Shang would not have been able to get in alone.
Shi Shang rang the doorbell, and the Liu family's nanny opened the door for him, took him into the living room on the first floor, and brought him tea.
Senior Liu was still in a meeting on the second floor, so he sat down on the sofa obediently, took out his painting supplies and easel from his bag, and arranged them according to categories.
Soon, the sound of a door closing was heard from upstairs.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Shishang, something happened at the company and kept you waiting for so long." Liu Yu hurried down the stairs.
Shi Shang: "It's okay, Senior Liu, I just arrived too."
Liu Yu burst out laughing: "Our little girl is still the cutest. I won't waste your time, let's get started."
Shi Shang nodded obediently: "Okay."
The nanny brought the dog over. The Pomeranian had a round head and a well-behaved appearance. Its neatly trimmed hair was fluffy and soft, like a round and cute little snowball.
The dog was very friendly. As soon as it saw Shi Shang, it barked excitedly and ran up to him affectionately. It used its two front legs to pull at his trouser legs, and its tail was almost shaking behind it.
Shi Shang was overjoyed and quickly hugged the Pomeranian in her arms, kissing and hugging it for a while before finally putting it on the soft pillow next to her.
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Andy likes you very much. She is obsessed with looks. Usually when Old Wu comes, she won't even glance at him."
Shi Shang smiled shyly, "No, maybe Andy just likes the smell of me."
Shi Shang clamped the drawing paper on the drawing board, mixed the paint, and quickly started painting.
Liu Yu sat next to him, drinking tea and observing him.
The boy seemed to have lost some weight, his profile softened, his features became more delicate, his eyes sparkled, and he kept moving back and forth between Andy and the drawing paper, completely immersed in the painting.
Even at a social distance, this face is flawless and can definitely withstand the lighting of the big screen.
Liu Yu felt itchy after seeing this. If he hadn't chatted with Shi Shang before and knew that he had no intention of entering the entertainment industry, he would have tried his best to sign Shi Shang to his company.
It would be a waste not to let the audience appreciate such a beautiful face!
Three hours later, Shi Shang stopped writing and said with a smile, "Okay."
The soft and cute dog sits on the soft pillow, its black eyes are smart and bright, very classical style.
Liu Yu praised repeatedly: "Xiao Shi Shang's painting is really good. This is the style I want. I will send it to be framed later."
He asked Shi Shang to sit on the sofa and poured him some tea. "Take a rest. You are tired."
Shi Shang had just taken a sip of tea when Andy jumped onto his lap, wagging his tail and asking for a petting.
Shi Shang's heart melted as she gently stroked the dog's fur along its back.
Seeing him like this, Liu Yu casually mentioned, "Come to think of it, Old Lu also raised a little black rabbit."
When Shi Shang heard Lu Tinghe's name inadvertently, her heart skipped a beat.
Recently, Lu Tinghe went on a business trip to the neighboring province again and seemed to be very busy. Shi Shang only chatted with him for a while at the beginning and did not send any messages afterwards.
Actually, it’s better this way. Ever since she had assumed that Lu Tinghe couldn’t eat when he was in love, Shi Shang always felt a sense of inexplicable discomfort in her heart.
For a moment, he didn't know how to face Lu Tinghe.
He pursed his lips to hide his inner thoughts and asked politely, "Really?"
"Yeah, you didn't expect that." Liu Yu crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows.
"It happened a long time ago, when we were still in elementary school," Liu Yu said. "He loved this rabbit so much that he would rush home to take care of it after school every day. He usually wouldn't let us touch it."
He stroked his chin and recalled, "But that rabbit was indeed very cute. Its eyes were round and black, but the fur inside its belly was very white, like a sesame dumpling."
Shi Shang was intrigued.
A smaller version of Lu Tinghe appeared in my mind, wearing glasses, neatly dressed, and looking like a serious little adult.
Every day when he came home from school, he would put down his schoolbag, tiptoe to the rabbit hive, and gently hold the little rabbit in his arms.
Talk to the bunny, stroke its furry head, feed it grass, and maybe even scoop chocolate chips for it.
Shi Shang was amused by her own imagination and touched the Pomeranian's head.
Liu Yu paused, shrugged helplessly, and said, "Unfortunately, not long after, the little rabbit fell ill. Treatment was ineffective, and it always curled up in a ball."
"After that, we never saw it again. Old Lu's family never kept a pet again."
Shi Shang understood what he had not said, and she lowered her head and pinched the puppy's soft paws, feeling a little sad.
For Lu Tinghe at that age, it must have been difficult to accept the sudden death of his pet.
Shi Shang held the dog and chatted with Liu Yu for a while, then prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Liu Yu called him and handed him a card.
The pink card was exquisitely crafted, with gold-stamped patterns on the edges. Shi Shang opened it and saw that it contained a formal invitation with his name printed on it.
Liu Yu tapped the card and said cheerfully, "Actually, in a few days it's not just Andy's birthday, it's mine too."
"Xiao Shichang, I like you very much. You must come. If you don't want to be alone, you can also bring other friends."
He blinked narrowly and added, "Boyfriend is fine too."
