Chapter 34 if line: Succubus Zhizhi (11)
"Are you leaving, Qin Yu?" Song Zhi put on a loose shirt and asked while leaning on the table, his tone full of excitement.
Qin Yu lowered his eyebrows and perfunctorily responded that he couldn't understand the excitement of this little succubus, and swallowed the last bite of dry bread in his mouth.
"Drink it first." He handed over a cup of hot milk.
"Oh." Song Zhi touched his still bulging belly and wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Qin Yu opened yesterday's package and found a brand new set of clothes. The shirt and shorts were children's sizes, which were just right for Song Zhi to wear.
The bakery wasn't far away, just two blocks away. When he got there, the female owner was serving steaming croissants fresh from the oven. Song Zhi quickly ran over and offered to help with the plate. "Oh, you're here so early! Be careful, it's hot," the owner said, her face familiar, wiping her hands on her apron.
"Yeah." Song Zhi smiled, with a shallow dimple on the right side of his cheek.
Song Zhi uttered an "ah" as if he had almost forgotten, and pulled Qin Yu's sleeve and said, "I can go back by myself when the time comes, no need to pick me up."
Qin Yu glanced at the hand pulling his sleeve and said calmly, "It's okay, it's on the way. Are they calling you inside? Go get busy first."
Song Zhi turned to look inside the house, then turned back and said, "Then Qin Yu, goodbye!"
"Um."
The thin shirt on the training ground was soaked with sweat, revealing his strong muscles. Qin Yu unscrewed the kettle and took a sip of water. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone approaching, seeming to want to say something but hesitant.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yu frowned and put the kettle back to its place and asked.
"Isn't that guy from yesterday...coming?"
“…”
"Don't go. You haven't answered me yet." The man tried to stop him, but Qin Yu turned around, looked at him, and then withdrew his hand.
"Why are you so fierce? He'll run away in a few days if he follows a poor guy like you." The man muttered to himself as he saw him walking away.
Qin Yu ignored him and continued walking. When the sun was about to set, his inspection was over. He walked around half of the city and arrived at the store entrance. Song Zhi was squatting and helping to wash dishes when a shadow appeared in his sight. Song Zhi looked up and saw Qin Yu, "Qin Yu, you're so fast? I still have a few dishes to wash."
Qin Yu didn't say anything, squatted down and continued to wash the plates.
"Song Zhi." A voice called from inside the house, and Song Zhi hurried over. "Okay, you can go back first. Here's your wages for today."
"Thank you!" Song Zhi wiped the wetness from his hands onto the hem of his clothes and took it. When he returned to his original place, he said, "You can go now. Hey, how come you've finished washing?"
"Then let's go." Qin Yu didn't explain, got up and walked back, taking some pork with him.
When he came out of the crowd, Song Zhi was talking to someone else, pulling at his clothes and saying something, with an excited look on his face.
"You've never seen anything good, so you've treasured everything." The man said helplessly. He glanced at Qin Yu who was approaching, glanced at him, and then turned to say goodbye to Song Zhi and left. "Be careful. If you get sick, it will be difficult to find you."
"Yeah!" Song Zhiying said and waved his hand.
"Let's go, let's go. What did you buy?" Song Zhi curiously opened the bag to see what was inside. He found that it was freshly slaughtered meat covered in blood, so he quickly let go of his hand.
The next few days were like this, but Qin Yu didn't fuck him anymore. No matter how he pestered him, it was useless. He would pull out even after entering.
Annoying guy.
"Where's Song Zhi?" Qin Yu had come so often that the boss was familiar with his face. Hearing his question, he replied, "That's strange. I just saw him helping to pack bread in paper bags. How come he's gone now?"
"Boss, give me three of these."
"Oh, sorry, I have to go and get busy. Thanks to Song Zhi, there are a lot more customers in the store these days. Please wait a little longer. He won't leave until he sees you." The boss apologized.
"It's okay." But after waiting for more than ten minutes and still not seeing Song Zhi, Qin Yu felt something was wrong. He had waited too long.
He frowned, thinking, could this little succubus be put in a bag and taken away in a matter of moments? If that were the case, all his years would be wasted. But who knew, would someone drug him, tie him up, throw him on a carriage, and sell him off to some lecherous nobles?
Qin Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so he told the shop owner that if Song Zhi came back, he should let him stay in the shop while he went out to look for another place.
As night approached, the market gradually dispersed, and most people packed up their stalls and prepared to go home. There were few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a few carriages drove slowly by. Qin Yu borrowed a horse and quickly searched the surrounding area, but there was no trace of him. The bosses around also shook their heads and said they had never seen Song Zhi.
Qin Yu turned his horse around and went to the shop owner's place. He still didn't see Song Zhi in front of the shop. He also checked at home, but no one had come.
Where could he go? It was impossible to leave the city at this time, and he didn't see any strange carriage.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a little beggar stealthily reaching out his hand to steal some bread.
Qin Yu drew the sword from his waist with a swish and pointed it at the beggar. The beggar was so frightened that his face turned pale and he fell to the ground, begging for mercy with trembling hands, "Don't, don't kill me, sir, spare my life, I'm just too hungry, I'm just too hungry..."
"Have you seen the clerk in this store?"
"Shop, shop assistant? The pale and skinny one...? No." The beggar shook his head.
If he disappeared out of thin air, there must be some traces. Where did he go? Qin Yu retracted his sword and ignored the stealing beggar.
He really disappeared. It wasn't even a week after the agreed date, and he disappeared without any suspicious traces. Did he go back to the mountains so soon? It would be a good thing if he went back, otherwise it would be troublesome. We searched for him for so long and couldn't find him. I'm afraid this succubus just got tired of the novelty and went back. Aren't succubi like that? They get tired of the old and love the new. He can protect himself, so what is there to be afraid of? Others should be afraid of him.
You come without saying anything and leave without saying anything. How rude of you.
"What are you doing there?" Qin Yu saw a cloaked figure squatting next to a trash can. He looked like a drunk old lunatic or a pharmacist from the alley. He was already in a bad mood, and if he saw an annoying dog on the side of the road, he might ask the dog why it was pooping on the roadside.
“…”
"Can't you speak?" Qin Yu frowned and asked, getting off his horse to pull the man up. His behavior was so strange. There was no place like home, but he had to squat next to the trash can and pretend to be a dead body. There must be some reason for this.
He pulled hard, but there was no movement. The black cloth was stretched tightly there, trembling as if it was about to be torn apart.
"If you don't let go of my hand, don't blame me for being rude."
Sizzle——
He saw a pair of slender white wrists. The wrist bones were covered with dense black scales, which gradually disappeared into the skin along the arms. The scales seemed to have broken out of the flesh, with bloodstains at the ends. The arms that should have been as smooth as jade now had several long cracks.
A familiar black tail came down, and he covered his head and dared not move.
"...Song Zhi, why are you here?" Qin Yu's facial expression improved a lot, and there was a softening and relaxation in his tone that he could not detect, but he thought he was scolding.
“…”
"I'm not." He said in a low voice.
"Song Zhi, your tail is showing. Stop playing and go."
"I said it's not, so it's not. Why are you so annoying, human..." He turned his back, and his arms covering his head began to tremble, and a few more scales appeared on his body.
Why are you still crying?
"Then what's your name?" Qin Yu didn't understand what game he wanted to play, so he asked slowly following his words.
"Do you deserve to know? Get out of here!"
"What's wrong with you?" He really started crying. Qin Yu grabbed his wrist and pulled it away forcefully.
"...I look very ugly now...please, please go away first...I will be back soon...Qin Yu, I beg you not to look at me now, please go back first." He turned his head and turned his face to the elbow of his other arm.
I thought it was nothing serious. "It's just a few scales, it's not ugly. Does it hurt? Do I need to go back and apply medicine?"
"You didn't see..." Song Zhi cried, his voice trembling. "It's always... everyone hates me." He said, his voice choking.
Qin Yu examined it carefully again. It turned out to be a horn on its head. It was black and round, with a blunt, rounded tip. He reached around to the other side and forcibly twisted Song Zhi's face. He felt a wet, sticky liquid on his palm. He suspected it was tears, but in the moonlight, he could see that it was also covered with a large amount of blood.
Scales spread from the body to both sides of the cheeks. The scales on the cheeks broke out accompanied by warm and sticky blood. The cracks spread from the periphery to the center. The skin around the tip of the nose luckily did not grow back, but it seemed as if the skin was torn open to reveal its hideous true appearance.
Song Zhi's eyelashes drooped, and his long eyelashes were full of tears, but the tears that flowed down mixed with blood and turned dark red, as if blood was flowing out of his eyes. Song Zhi raised his eyes, and his pupils also changed color to become bright red.
“…”
Qin Yu was silent for a few seconds, then wiped away the tears with his fingertips, kissed Song Zhi's eyelids, and held her wrist. "Okay, stop crying. You scared me to death. I'll go back and apply some medicine on you."
