Chapter 165 Adapting to the Darkness
Gu Chao had no choice but to hold Lu Ming in his arms, constantly talking to her to comfort her and divert her attention, then reached out and gently blew the air around her eyes so that she could feel a little bit of coolness.
Slowly, the burning sensation climbed up from her eyes to the top of her head. Lu Ming felt so uncomfortable that her temples felt throbbing and her head was burning, as if someone was holding an iron and repeatedly ironing the inside of her brain.
She had lost all ability to think at this moment. She couldn't hear what Gu Chao was saying beside her. Only his voice could reach her. However, she felt that the sound was suddenly unbearable. She screamed and bit the noise maker. She didn't know what part she bit, but it seemed to have bones and it felt extremely hard.
Gu Chao didn't say anything, letting her bite his shoulder hard, while his other hand continued to hold her and caress her gently.
Cheng Ming looked at the state of the two people and realized that there was nothing for him to do. He didn't want to have a midnight snack anymore, so he walked out of the room considerately, closed the door gently, lay down on the sofa in the outer room, and sighed softly.
Dating is such a hassle.
Tsk.
inside the house.
Lu Ming bit hard. Although her fifth-level physique was not as good as Gu Chao's, it was not much worse. Her teeth were deeply embedded in his flesh. If it weren't for the large range of the bite, a piece of flesh would have been bitten off.
Blood flowed down his shoulder and was about to drip onto the ground, but he caught it with his clothes to avoid the trouble of cleaning it up.
Tasting the salty and fishy taste in her mouth, Lu Ming regained some of her sanity. Her head seemed to no longer be so hot, so she loosened her mouth and subconsciously licked the bitten area.
Gu Chao didn't dare to hum when he felt the soft and moist touch. He could only tense his body and feel this wonderful experience of itchiness and pain.
She leaned on him and panted for a while, but the calm did not last long. The hot feeling suddenly came again. She covered her forehead and clenched her teeth, making a creaking sound.
Gu Chao was afraid that she would bite her tongue or mouth, so he quickly opened his sleeves, stretched his arms to her mouth, and gently pinched her cheeks. "Be good, let go and bite here."
Lu Ming turned his head away, but he didn't give up and chased after him. Lu Ming was annoyed by his persistent attempts and bit his hand hard.
In this way, the two of them went through a cycle of pain - calm - pain again. After a few hours, Lu Ming suddenly felt the burning sensation disappear. He relaxed all over and fainted from exhaustion.
Gu Chao also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know how many bite wounds were on his body. Later, he took off his shirt and threw it on the ground to make it easier for Lu Ming to bite him and prevent blood from flowing everywhere.
He gently laid her down on the bed, went to the bathroom to wash her up, applied some medicine to the wound, and then wrung out a towel to wipe Lu Ming's face.
Her head was covered in cold sweat, her hair was wet and stuck to her forehead, and her mouth was blood red. The dried blood made her skin tight, making her look very uncomfortable.
Gu Chao helped her clean up, then walked out of the room and went to discuss things with Cheng Ming.
Lu Ming didn't sleep for long. She woke up and opened her eyes slightly expectantly, but found that it was still pitch black in front of her. She breathed a sigh of disappointment.
What are you doing?
Is there any danger in upgrading the space?
This crappy prop is too unreliable.
But she was only resentful for a short while before her mind was distracted by the memories of last night.
She seemed to have bitten him several times...
Gu Chao was not there, and there was no smell of blood in the room. She sat up and felt that the pain in her eyes was no longer there. She wanted to get up and see if she could live her life as usual if no one else was around.
She groped her way out of bed, walked slowly to the bathroom, bumped into the sink, and began to brush her teeth and wash her face.
It's a bit difficult to squeeze the toothpaste, but the rest is pretty easy.
But she soon encountered a problem: how to pick out a set of clothes from the closet that would not look strange?
After carefully distinguishing the styles, she finally recognized her own black shirt and jeans. She changed, slowly walked to the door, opened it, and went out.
The layout of the outer room was a bit complicated. She walked around to familiarize herself with the environment, knocked over many things, hit her knees many times, kicked the furniture countless times, and finally tripped over a small step above the ground on the side of the room.
She just sat on the ground exhausted and dejected.
Without her vision, her fifth-level physique seemed to have disappeared as well. Her reactions were always a beat slower, and she felt as if she had fallen into an unknown world, a place completely separated from this real world.
And she was the only one there, she could never leave and no one else could come in.
She held her forehead and tears silently fell.
Why couldn't the heart be trained like a muscle? That way, at least her heart could be as strong as her bones, instead of feeling fear, confusion, and helplessness like it was now, so fragile that it seemed like it could break with a single poke.
Although she believed that Gu Chao would always be by her side, no one else could share her confusion and pain. No one would ever understand her feelings unless they experienced it themselves.
Gu Chao opened the door and came in. He saw her sitting in the corner of the room. His heart skipped a beat. He strode over and half-knelt beside her. He held her face and asked, "Why are you here? Are you hurt? Are your eyes hurting again?"
Lu Ming lowered her head and shook it gently, then leaned into his arms, saying nothing. However, she placed one hand on his shoulder and slowly treated the wound from her bite.
Noticing that she was in a very low mood, Gu Chao stopped talking and just hugged her tightly.
That night, Lu Ming woke up feeling uncomfortable again. The two of them tossed and turned for half the night just like last night, and then fell asleep in each other's arms, exhausted.
On the third day, there was no improvement.
On the fourth day, there was still no improvement.
Lu Ming's heart grew colder and colder, and she began to suspect that something was wrong with the space.
These days, although Lu Ming tried his best to dissuade her, Gu Chao still accompanied her every day and rarely went out. He handled daily affairs in the room and asked Cheng Ming to convey his opinions during meetings.
Until the fifth day.
That night, Lu Ming's eyes were not only burning, but also began to hurt, as if someone was drilling his eyes and brain with an electric drill. He kept screaming, and each scream was like a knife cutting into Gu Chao's heart.
In the second half of the night, the pain reached a peak and she even lost control and started fighting with Gu Chao.
She had lost her rationality and acted on instinct, somewhat without any plan, yet with immense power.
Gu Chao tried to restrain her, but she struggled too hard. Afraid that she would hurt herself, he gave up this approach and just treated himself as a moving sandbag, taking the punches and kicks. At the same time, he was careful not to let her get hurt by his actions. It can be said that he was very tired.
As the sun rose, Lu Ming finally lost her strength and passed out gasping for breath. Gu Chao breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, carried her to the bed, and cleaned her himself.
However, when he walked out and looked up, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Lu Ming, who was supposed to be in bed, actually...
Gone.
