Chapter 76 Senior 43
Perhaps due to the blood he had been feeding on, little Wei Jing'an's health was gradually improving. His human body felt as warm as if it were bathed in sunlight, a temperature that never appeared in the cold and dark deep sea. He went from feeling uncomfortable at first to being fascinated by it. Occasionally, when he was walking on the road and exposed to the sunlight, he would inexplicably think of the little girl lying on the bed, stretching out her hands for him to hug her.
Monsters are sensitive and suspicious, and he is no exception. Any attempt to show weakness could inadvertently kill him. He would only allow little Wei Jingan to climb onto his chest when he was awake. Behind the thin layer of skin lay the monster's fragile heart.
Her hand pressed there.
It was as if he was a new and interesting toy, being touched here and bumped there. Gradually, his tense emotions relaxed under her playful touch. He was already able to control his appetite by then, and was being forced by his parents to learn about human beings. He was very impatient to play with such a fragile little girl who could only babble, but she kept pestering him. He thought of her frail heart, so he had to let her touch him randomly.
After all, I raised him myself.
When little Wei Jing'an was three years old, her mother sent her to kindergarten. The short separation made him feel relieved as he could finally get rid of the annoying little creature. But a few days later, he saw little Wei Jing'an chasing after other humans, with her arms outstretched as if asking for a hug, and shouting "Brother, I want to play too." She was sensible and obedient, and the children in the kindergarten were all willing to play with her and do whatever they asked her to do.
Little Wei Jingan is as beautiful as Snow White in the fairy tale, with skin as white as snow, long straight hair as black as ebony, eyes like grapes, and lips like petals. She sits on a small stool, straightening her back obediently, allowing children slightly older than her to clip colorful hairpins in her hair and rub her hair into the messy curls in TV dramas.
At that time, the little girls who loved beauty liked to play this kind of dress-up game. Among them, Wei Jingan was the most obedient. Even if the style was very ugly, she would not notice it. Instead, she grinned the most foolishly because of other people's guilty compliments.
He watched quietly.
I don't understand why I came to the kindergarten.
I don't understand why I am looking for Wei Jingan.
The most common idea that came to mind at that time was...
He was the one who discovered her. Monsters don't have the virtues of humility and tolerance that humans require. How could his "food" be coveted by others?
So he walked right in, picked up Wei Jingan, who was coaxed into a giggle in the crowd, and led her out of the kindergarten under his arm, spewing out words that made his hair stand on end, hinting at his future paranoid personality:
"Don't laugh, don't talk to them, don't let them touch you again!"
"I found you!"
Little Wei Jingan didn't understand what was going on and thought her brother was here to play with her, but when she heard those words that were obviously a scolding and revealed her anger without any concealment, she was so scared that tears immediately flowed and she returned home sobbing.
The little girl's eyes were filled with tears, and tear marks were imprinted on her face. Lin Yanzhou felt guilty and explained helplessly that he was not mean to her. What he thought at the time was that he could not let her cry anymore, otherwise her mother would scold him when she came back. He had to comb her messy hair with clumsy skills.
The little girl stopped crying immediately, sat on the small stool, swung her legs, and directed in a baby voice: "Be like a princess, with curly hair and a big bow, it will be so beautiful!"
How could Lin Yanzhou do that?
The little girl took out the photo and showed it to him.
Finally he decided to braid his hair.
He was already very skilled in using his hands, but after braiding one strand of hair, there were still several strands waiting in line. The little girl didn't like two big thick braids, she preferred a head full of small braids, so he had to secretly use his soft fingers to help. When the little girl dozed off, he had done everything in less than five minutes.
The result at that time was that little Wei Jing'an stared at her messy hair that looked like a bird's nest, and was coaxed by Xiao Lin Yanzhou to hold the mirror and admire it for a long time. Then she knelt on the stool, hugged his neck, and left a loud "smack" sound on his face. Xiao Lin Yanzhou was shocked by her behavior.
When I came to my senses, I found that she had run away.
When she saw her mother coming back, she snuggled into her arms and boasted, "My brother did this. I love Brother Yan Zhou the most!"
His mother, a person with a rich imagination and romantic feelings, always joked that Wei Jingan was the little wife he had found for himself when they were alone together, and asked him to pamper her and not lose his temper with her... Wife? This was a very distant word, so distant that he had no idea what it meant.
But as he spent more time in human society, those dark, violent thoughts gradually began to be hidden deep within his heart. He learned to be like his brother, keeping a low profile and burying all his thoughts, becoming a sensible and obedient child. The monster's competitive spirit made him outstanding in his studies. At that time, there were very few things that could make him feel difficult or unhappy, except for one thing -
Wei Jingan has a friend.
Wei Jingan, who has same-sex friends, began a brief psychological change of staying away from the opposite sex. The gap between girls and boys suddenly appeared, as if they were in different camps. She no longer hung on him like she did when she was a child, and no longer asked him to hug her or braid her hair. She learned to do it herself, and made appointments with same-sex friends to play after school and talk about secrets between girls.
This made him panic for no reason.
He began to observe her life from the shadows. Watching her holding hands with her friends, he remembered the feeling of her holding his own hands. He really wanted to snatch those hands away, he thought to himself. Seeing Wei Jingan whispering with her friends head to head, a surge of nameless emotions enveloped his heart. He really wanted to kill and eat every human who came close to Wei Jingan.
He gave birth to the first—
If only her eyes could stay on him.
It was a rainy evening. Wei Jingan was blocked in a narrow path by the boys in the upper grade. Never underestimate the malice of children. The lack of physical education made the boys in the restless youth develop an inexplicable courage and fearlessness. They wanted to explore the secrets of the opposite sex in the pretty girls. They came in groups of three or two and blocked Wei Jingan and the three girls who were traveling with her.
Lin Yanzhou followed behind.
Thinking with jealousy, who can protect you?
Only when you are wronged or bullied will you stay by his side obediently.
The continuous rain intensified the dampness of the air, as if several silk threads appeared out of thin air, pulling at his violent and restless heart. Wei Jingan's tears intensified his negative emotions. Both boys and girls were suddenly swept up and thrown away by the tentacles that appeared like something from a horror movie... Amidst the screams, Wei Jingan's voice was particularly prominent. She fell to the ground, her tear-stained face full of shock and fear.
He slowly approached, forgetting how nightmare-like the tentacles hanging all over his body would be to humans. Cracks also appeared on his face, and lumps of black flesh appeared clearly in the girl's eyes.
He said, "I told you not to get close to other people, not to talk to other people, not to look at them..."
"Don't leave me..."
The tone was blurred by the heavy rain.
The girl's eyes widened: "Monster, disgusting... Get out of here, get out!"
…
The memories end here.
The man's tone seemed particularly distant and lingering in the dim night. His eyes, filled with love, looked at Wei Jing'an, who was already sleeping in his arms. The trembling caused by memories gradually faded, and he spoke of his final painful time: "I lost control... I overestimated my control over my body. Your disgusted expression made me resentful, sad, and heartbroken. I bit you... After waking up, you forgot what happened, but your body still had a fear of me. You trembled whenever I approached. I had no choice but to send you away..."
He sighed, "Jingjing, I've never been absent from your growth. You loved playing by the creek behind the house, and I'd hide underwater to watch you. One time, you accidentally touched my tentacle and thought it was waterweed..."
The night is deep.
Listening to the woman's breathing, Lin Yanzhou closed his eyes, hugged his girlfriend tightly in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.
…
Wei Jing'an woke before dawn. She'd been so sleepy the previous night that she'd fallen asleep before Lin Yanzhou finished his story. But she managed to grasp the general idea of what had happened. Had they been together since infancy? Even though those memories were long gone, the instinct etched into her body remained. No wonder she loved his proximity so much. She felt inexplicably at ease when he was around.
Wei Jing'an lay on her side for a moment, then out of boredom, she pulled at the soft, sticky surface of the bed, which felt like a pool of water, and successfully woke Lin Yanzhou. He opened his confused eyes, his eyelids still a little closed, and half-covered his eyes as he asked vaguely, "Are you hungry, Jingjing?"
He lifted the quilt to make breakfast, but Wei Jingan hugged him from behind and threw him onto the bed. Looking at his energetic girlfriend pressing on his chest, his confused thoughts slowly came to his senses, and he patted her back with some helplessness and indulgence.
He asked, "What's wrong, Jingjing? Did you have a nightmare?"
Wei Jingan shook her head and buried her head in his chest.
A muffled voice came out: "I heard what you said, but I have no impression of it at all..."
He laughed: "Yeah, it's okay Jingjing, and I remember it."
The warm breath sprayed on his chest, burning his skin and making it shiver. The awakened soft touch was as excited as its owner. In just a blink of an eye, the bedroom was covered with black and red soft touch, blocking the light from the window and the morning sun could not get in.
"You were young and frightened at the time, so it's normal that you don't remember. What's most important is our present and future."
The future is such a beautiful word. Wei Jingan recalled the scene when she first met Lin Yanzhou. At that time, she just thought he was incredibly handsome. She had never felt such strong emotions towards a boy before. It turned out that these emotions had already been buried deep in her heart and took root when she saw him again.
Wei Jingan could hardly suppress the negative emotions that surged in her heart. She endured it and decided to ask, holding the soft touch tightly with both hands. Because she had Lin Yanzhou's oral account as a guarantee, the extra childhood experience gave her more capital to be willful in front of him.
She asked, "After sending me away, did you regret it? Did you think about me?"
Lin Yanzhou said he had thought about it, very much.
Wei Jingan still felt unsatisfied. She turned over, lifted the quilt and crawled in, staring at him with unknown emotions flashing in her eyes, as if she was blaming him for sending her away and losing the time she had with him for nothing.
Lin Yanzhou said, "My worries at that time outweighed my reluctance to leave you. Under the premise of ensuring that I wouldn't hurt you, I really didn't dare to take the risk of keeping you by my side... Jingjing, my thoughts at that time were very extreme. I thought the friends you made were trying to steal you from me. I couldn't tolerate the way you looked at them. If you continued like this, sooner or later I would hurt you... Jingjing, I miss you every moment..."
Wei Jingan approached him: "Then did you go looking for me? I mean, did you hide in the dark and watch without me noticing?"
Lin Yanzhou's affirmation made Wei Jingan feel extremely satisfied. She lifted the quilt covering her body, laughed and threw herself into the man's arms, sighing with satisfaction: "That's good...Lin Yanzhou, please keep loving me like this."
Lin Yanzhou was surprised: "Won't you feel suffocated?"
Wei Jingan raised her voice: "No way."
Lin Yanzhou smiled, and the two of them were intimate for a while, then got up and prepared breakfast.
