Chapter 16: The Tube Building (16) The reward... I am very satisfied. ...
When Wen Yin finally returned to the building carrying Xiaotuan, she was soaked and felt a little exhausted.
The tube building was still dark late at night, but fortunately the moonlight was exceptionally bright after the rain, and there were no strange things on the stairs.
Xiaotuan's head was still resting softly on her neck, and there was a burning heat where their skin touched.
Wen Yin put her face against Xiaotuan's forehead and found that he indeed had a fever.
Wen Yin knew some simple physical cooling methods, but Xiaotuan was obviously burning with fever, and he didn't know if there were any other problems.
She stood in the moonlight in front of the door of 501 with Xiaotuan on her back. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and knocked on the door of 502.
She wanted to take a gamble.
Knock knock knock.
There was a sharp knock on the door, and the echo floated in the square courtyard in the middle of the tube building, and it was particularly clear in the quiet night.
There was no movement from behind the door of 502.
Wen Yin knocked again, but still no response.
Just when Wen Yin suspected that the other party was really not in the room, 028 in her mind suddenly spoke.
[Host, Shen Sinian is in the room, standing behind the door.]
There was a simple cat's eye embedded in the old door panel in front of me.
Shen Sinian stood behind the peephole, observing her quietly.
[Because of your special identity, all the weird people in the world will like you especially]
At this moment, Wen Yin's mind flashed again with the words that the ghost thing that invited her said to her before entering the small world.
Wen Yin took a deep breath and lifted up the little ball that was about to slide off her back.
He staggered in front of the door with unsteady steps, his face pale and his body soaked, looking so weak that he looked like he would faint at any moment.
“Doctor Shen, are you there?”
"I'm feeling a little unwell, can you help me?"
The tone was as natural as if nothing had happened during the day, as if everything that had just happened in the muddy and wasteland was a fictional illusion.
Shen Sinian didn’t move.
He stared at the petite figure swaying precariously through the cat's eye, his slender knuckles tapping rhythmically on the hem of his windbreaker, his expression murky and unclear.
The girl outside the door didn't get a response and sighed in disappointment.
She slowly turned around, holding the miscellaneous items beside her, her eyebrows slightly drooping, and her thick and long eyelashes looked like a black feather under the bright moonlight.
The feathers blinked slowly and fluttered past his vision, and the girl's weak voice came from outside the door.
"Then I'll... go find the landlord."
"He should... help me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door lock made a light click.
Shen Sinian opened the door.
They looked at each other in silence.
"Come in."
It was Shen Sinian, who was hidden in the shadows, who spoke first.
A rare gentle smile appeared on his face, free of the mask. When he looked at Wen Yin, his pupils were filled with a thick vortex that made people dizzy, just like the black puppy.
Wen Yin really had a headache.
She barely held up Xiaotuan, and under Shen Sinian's gaze, she stepped into the room without hesitation.
-
The old desk lamp was turned on, and the not-too-bright light filled Wen Yin's vision.
After adjusting to the light, she placed the little ball with a red face on Shen Sinian's bed.
"Doctor Shen, can you please check on Xiaotuan first? He has a fever."
Shen Sinian stood in front of the bed, his eyes naturally swept over Xiaotuan, and then turned to Wen Yin, who was soaked and pale.
"you……"
He dragged out the ending of the tone.
"As if I'm not afraid of you."
"Why?"
Wen Yin got caught in the rain and carried Xiaotuan home, and her strength was almost gone.
At this moment, facing Shen Sinian's pupils that were so dark that they made people dizzy, she only felt a blood vessel on her temples throbbing.
It gives me a splitting headache.
"Of course I'm afraid..."
Her head was spinning, and Wen Yin suddenly bent down and held onto the end of the bed, her fingertips turning pale from the force.
After a long pause, she finally spoke, her voice so soft that it almost blended into the quiet night.
"But I want to...live more."
"Um?"
Shen Sinian snorted in confusion, as if he couldn't understand the inconsistency in Wen Yin's words.
"Don't go out, then move away, and you will survive naturally."
Wen Yin raised her eyes, her wet hair still clinging to the side of her face in a messy manner.
She looked at Shen Sinian's fingers hanging by his side, smooth, slender, and without any wounds.
From the moment she entered the room, she had been tapping his clothes rhythmically, as if she was silently planning something.
“Doctor Shen.”
Wen Yin spoke in a gentle voice, her amber pupils still tinged with moisture, staring straight at the young man in front of her.
"Can I still get away?"
"Oh."
Shen Sinian chuckled, and the expression on his face finally became lively.
He raised his hand to adjust the frameless glasses on his nose, his expression showing an indescribable surprise and curiosity.
His gaze moved from the corners of Wen Yin's eyes down to her plump but pale lips.
"That's right, you can't leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow suddenly fell in front of Wen Yin.
Shen Sinian's slender five fingers passed through her wet hair, and with an irresistible gesture, he bit it hard.
The icy breath instantly invaded Wen Yin's mouth and nose as their skin touched.
She opened her eyes wide in shock and met those dizzying eyes directly.
In those dark pupils, a sticky black mist surged wildly, as if it wanted to wrap up the person in front of him and drag him into the abyss of infinite darkness.
"Shen... Ugh!"
Before Wen Yin could utter a word, she felt a sudden stinging pain on her lips that were being ruthlessly rubbed.
The smell of blood emanated from the two people's lips that were pressed together.
It was he who bit her lip.
There was a wet and slippery touch licking across the lips, with a temperature lower than that of an ordinary person.
Wen Yin's scalp tingled, and she raised her hand to push away, but her wrist was clamped and she fell into a tighter embrace.
"Don't move. This is...reward for your treatment."
The young man's thin lips were stained with her blood, and his expression was gloomy. After a brief separation, he licked her bitten red lips again.
Time seemed to be stretched infinitely long in the tight embrace, until he licked the blood off Wen Yin's lips clean, and finally let her go with satisfaction.
He was well-dressed and had a lazy demeanor.
This was in stark contrast to Wen Yin, whose face was flushed from holding her breath for a long time.
If there wasn't a trace of blood at the corner of his lips, one would have doubted whether the scene just now was Wen Yin's hallucination.
"I've accepted the reward and I'm very satisfied."
Shen Sinian returned to his gentle appearance.
"I'll take care of Xiaotuan. You, go back to your room."
Wen Yin endured the dizziness and looked up, her lips were blood red, revealing a kind of wilted beauty.
She looked at the elegant young man in front of her as if nothing had happened, and then looked at the little girl on the bed who was in an unknown situation.
After a few seconds, she lowered her eyes and nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you... Doctor Shen."
-
[Host, will he really save Xiaotuan?]
028 has already seen that the existence of the small group seems to be the key to the formation of the weirdness.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the countless corpses buried in the weeds.
028 waited for a long time but didn't hear the host's answer. Then it realized that the host's face was abnormally red.
It's not simply because of the unnaturalness after close contact, but...
She also has a fever.
The rain, fear and running around made Wen Yin's already unhealthy body overloaded.
Finally, the taut string finally broke completely in Shen Sinian's silent plunder.
Yes,
Wen Yin's answer was somewhat weak.
He didn't have to lie to me.
At this moment, Wen Yin was only cursing in her heart the ghost thing that pulled her into the small world.
He just pulled her in, but didn't give her a healthy enough body.
Her current fragile appearance is only slightly better than her sick state in the real world.
She went back to her room and used her last bit of energy to change her wet clothes.
After pouring himself a large cup of hot water, he immediately buried himself in the quilt.
[Host, are you okay?]
028 is a little worried.
[Should we go ask Shen Sinian for some fever-reducing medicine? He has a medicine box.]
There was a wound on Wen Yin's lip, and it felt stinging when touched.
She buried her head in the quilt, and her voice was a little muffled.
[No, who knows what he will ask for in return.]
After that, he fell silent.
A few minutes later, 028 felt Wen Yin's breath again.
Because of the fever, her breathing was a little faster than usual, but very regular, so she must have fallen asleep.
It slipped over to 502 next door to take a look.
The light in Shen Sinian’s room was off.
In the darkness, he sat quietly beside the bed, looking down at the little boy who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
After a long time, he finally got up, moved the little boy into the bed, and covered him with a thin blanket.
A gentle voice sounded in the darkness at the same time.
"You are such a lucky kid."
