Bai Xian and others walked around the cemetery for a long time before they found Gao Shukai. At that time, he was digging a grave with a shovel. Lin Dan was sitting on a big rock, supporting his cheeks with both hands, watching him quietly.
"Gao Shukai, are you okay?" Zhou Nan ran over immediately, his tone very worried.
"With Lin Dan here, what can happen to me? You came at the right time, help me dig a grave, my friends are all in it." Gao Shukai said breathlessly. There was a lot of dirt piled up in the open space next to him, and two unconscious teenagers were lying beside the dirt, their faces very pale.
"Do you need my help?" Lin Dan asked again.
"No, no, no, you sit down, I'll do the rough work." Gao Shukai reminded him tirelessly: "Sit further away to avoid getting your clothes dirty with mud." When he first talked about digging graves, he was really scared to death, but when he saw Lin Dan picking up the shovel and preparing to shovel the soil, he couldn't stand it anymore. How could Lin Dan be allowed to do such a dirty, tiring and scary job? Is he still a man?
So Gao Shukai plucked up the courage to do it. He found Lin Dan sitting beside him, staring at him intently. In an instant, he felt full of strength. Unknowingly, he dug up two graves and rescued his two friends. Anyway, as long as Lin Dan is around, he will be motivated to do anything.
The group spent most of the night and finally found the remaining teenagers. Fortunately, they were just knocked unconscious and nothing happened. They just need to lie down for ten days or half a month to replenish their yang energy and they will be fine. Bai Xian woke up a few people and asked them to cover the grave with their own hands. They knelt in front of the tombstone, kowtowed to the dead spirit and apologized, and burned some paper money before going down the mountain.
It was still dark in the woods, and everyone was huddled together, all of them terrified.
Gao Shukai hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice: "It's too dark and the road is not easy to walk on. Lin Dan, how about I hold your hand?" As he said this, he couldn't help rubbing his trouser legs with his hands to prevent his palms from being stained with too much sweat.
Lin Dan shook his head and said, "No need, I can see even the darkest road."
"Oh, then walk slower." Gao Shukai's voice was muffled.
Lin Dan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly held his fingertips and whispered: "Come with me."
Gao Shukai's heart was pounding, but he tried to maintain a calm expression on his face and asked in a low voice, "Where are we going?"
“Go collect my reward.” Lin Dan walked slower and slower, and when he reached a fork in the road, he pushed the boy into the bushes, pressed him against a tree trunk, stood on tiptoes, and looked straight into the other’s eyes.
Her beautiful face was getting closer and closer, and Gao Shukai felt as if he was about to melt in her hot breath. He couldn't help holding his breath and stammering, "You, what do you want to do?" Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help licking his dry lips.
Lin Dan said nothing, but buried his head in the boy's neck and gently bit his skin. The sweet blood rushed into her body with surging power, making her moan comfortably.
Gao Shukai leaned stiffly against the tree trunk. He first felt a pain in his neck, and then a tingling sensation drew him away. He held on when he was trapped by evil spirits, and he also held on when he was tortured by endless reincarnations. But now, he feels that he can no longer hold on. His knees were shaking slightly and he almost slid down the tree trunk and sat on the ground.
Lin Dan put her arms around his neck and licked his wound carefully. He didn't dare to move, but he was not frightened by her strange behavior. Instead, he plucked up his courage and quietly put his hand on her lower back, crossing his fingers and tying a knot.
The long-lost feeling of fullness washed over Lin Dan's limbs and bones, gradually warming up her cold body. She rested her head on Gao Shukai's shoulder, looking lazy.
Gao Shukai held her gently, not even daring to breathe heavily for fear of disturbing her. Although his blood was inexplicably sucked, he felt it was worth it. He was even willing to endure the cycle of death a hundred or a thousand times. Just because of this moment, everything was worth it...
Lin Dan lived in hunger every day, and this rare fullness was like heaven to her. At this moment, she was too lazy to think about anything and just hung on the tall and strong young man, enjoying the drowsy feeling after the meal. She couldn't remember how many times she woke up hungry and how many times she couldn't sleep all night because of the cramps in her abdomen. If her willpower was weaker, she would have gone crazy long ago.
She closed her eyes in the boy's warm arms, and within a few seconds she began to snore softly.
At first Gao Shukai thought he had misheard. After a long while, he carefully lowered his head to look at Lin Dan's profile, only to find that she was sleeping soundly on his shoulder. Her cheeks, which were always as pale as paper, now had two blushes on them, making her look very cute.
Gao Shukai's wildly beating heart slowly calmed down, and his chest felt like it was filled with honey, sweet and soft. He had seen Lin Dan's slender fingertips turn into black claws, and he had also seen her release a bunch of bugs with a wave of her hand, but it didn't matter to him whether she was a Taoist priest, a witch, or a vampire. He had given up on finding answers, because nothing mattered more than her.
He gently picked up the girl and walked down the mountain path, trying to make his steps steadier, steadier...
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Lin Dan woke up slowly and found herself sleeping in Gao Shukai's arms. Her expression became complicated. Since when did she become so wary of this person? What if he sold her? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a headache.
Gao Shukai rubbed his hands angrily, looking very disappointed. If Lin Dan was unconscious, he could carry her into the car and send her home. An hour's drive would be enough time for him to be overjoyed. Alas, it's a pity that he is not lucky enough...
The two looked at each other and then looked away awkwardly.
"Let's go. We've been waiting for you for a long time." Bai Xian drove an SUV to the intersection. Ai Yu, Zhou Nan, and Bai Sheng were sitting in the front row, watching them quietly. The other car carrying the other six teenagers had already driven away some time ago.
"You go up first, be careful." Gao Shukai put his hand on the girl's head to prevent her from bumping into it.
Lin Dan climbed into the back seat. Gao Shukai waited until she was seated firmly before climbing up and sitting close to her. The SUV was driving on the highway, and everyone was thinking about their own things, so no one spoke. Gao Shukai sat there in silence for a while, and finally couldn't help but pointed at his neck and said in an inaudible voice: "Is this the reward you mentioned?"
Lin Dan nodded without saying anything.
Gao Shukai touched the bite marks that had long disappeared and continued to ask: "Will you always charge me this kind of compensation when I ask you for help in the future?"
Lin Dan was willing to talk this time: "That depends on what favor you're asking me to do. If it's a big favor, I'll charge you more, and if it's a small favor, I'll charge you less."
Gao Shukai seemed to have thought of something, his cheeks slowly turned red, then he lowered his head and stopped talking.
It is only natural to get rewarded for saving people, and Zhou Nan and Bai Sheng did not think there was anything strange about the conversation between the two. Ai Yu turned around and took a closer look at Gao Shukai, but found nothing unusual, so she gave up.
Lin Dan got off the car halfway, and Bai Xian sent Gao Shukai back to the Gao family mansion.
Gao's mother hugged her son with tears in her eyes and scolded him, "Where have you been? You made the whole family worried to death! Your grandfather is so old, and he hasn't slept for two nights just to find you. If you don't come back, he will fall ill. How many times have I told you to bring bodyguards with you wherever you go, but you didn't listen! Are you going to scare us to death?"
"I'm sorry, Grandpa." Gao Shukai quickly ran over to support his grandfather.
The Zhou family head who had been guarding the mansion said with a smile: "Old man, we have fulfilled our mission and finally brought Shu Kai back safely. You should be relieved now, right?"
Just as Mr. Gao was about to thank him, Gao Shukai complained, "I wasn't rescued by your people, I was rescued by my classmates. My family spent so much money to hire Zhou Nan and Ai Yu, but they all ran away after school. I might as well just wait to die before they come to rescue me."
The smile on Zhou Xinghe's face froze for a moment.
Mr. Gao looked at Bai Xian, who immediately said frankly, "It was indeed not us who saved Gao Shukai. When we were still trapped in the ghost cave, he and his classmates had already broken free. Mr. Gao, we are really ashamed. To express our apology, Ai Yu's job will be replaced by my nephew Bai Sheng. Tomorrow I will arrange for him to be a teacher at Haicheng No. 1 Middle School. Do you think this is okay?"
The magic circle on his grandson's body no longer had any effect. No matter how dissatisfied Grandpa Gao was, he could only suppress it at this moment. No one knew where the master had gone at that time, and he didn't dare let anyone else know his grandson's fate, so he had nowhere to turn to. Fortunately, my grandson’s horoscope is extremely complicated, and ordinary Taoist priests can’t even read it, let alone understand it.
"Oh, forget it, just be more responsible from now on." Mr. Gao sighed, looking very tired.
Bai Xian then said goodbye and left with his group.
Gao's mother repeatedly asked Gao Shukai who saved him, but he did not give a direct answer. Instead, he found an excuse to slip away. After returning to the room, he took out his phone and sent a text message to Lin Dan: "I didn't tell my parents about you, don't worry."
"Yeah." The other side replied with one word in seconds.
"However, they asked me to give you some gifts as a thank you. What do you want?" The tips of Gao Shukai's ears slowly turned red.
"I have already accepted the gift." Lin Dan answered seriously.
"You can still collect it again. My life is very valuable." Gao Shukai persuaded.
"Then wait for me in the grove behind the school flower bed tomorrow." Lin Dan wanted to reject this temptation, but couldn't control herself.
Gao Shukai buried his head in the pillow and rubbed it hard. After a long while, he raised his head and showed a red face. "Okay," he wrote word by word, "I'll wait for you in the grove at 12:30 tomorrow noon. By the way, don't buy breakfast in the morning, I'll bring it for you. What do you like to eat?"
There was no reply for a long time.
Gao Shukai stared at the phone screen without blinking.
About twenty minutes later, Lin Dan sent a message: "It's already 3:30 in the morning. I think it's best for you not to come to school today. Rest at home for a few days. Good night."
"No, I'm going to school today and I don't feel tired at all. What do you like to eat?" Gao Shukai could hardly open his eyelids, but he still stubbornly set the alarm for seven in the morning. As long as he can see Lin Dan, he can hold on no matter how tired he is.
Lin Dan didn't reply for a long time, she must have fallen asleep. Gao Shukai held the phone like a big baby and slowly fell asleep.
