Chapter 17: No. 7 Middle School (17)

Bai You took off his mask, jumped down from the stage, walked to Si Yu, took the red rose from his hand, and flicked the petals with his white knuckles.

The red and tender petals were still stained with dew, and the water droplets danced randomly and scattered on his hands.

Bai You sniffed the rich fragrance, suddenly curved his eyebrows and smiled gently.

“But since you still remember to send flowers on the festival, I will reluctantly forgive you.”

Si Yu smiled softly when he heard her words, met her eyes, and raised his eyebrows slightly. Because of this action, the boy’s eyebrows showed some rebellious meaning, and his voice still had a cold and hoarse texture.

“Aren’t you afraid?”

“Of course I am afraid. But what can I do if I am afraid.”

Bai You smiled, tilted his head and continued to speak, with a coquettish tone.

“I can’t run away now, right?”

The moment Si Yu appeared in the lecture hall, Bai You had already discovered the abnormality.

The entire system was blocked by special signals and could not be connected, which meant that her administrator privileges could not be enabled. But this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that she could not leave the game.

All players would have a logout button after entering the dungeon. Players could choose to exit at any time, but once they exited, all rewards obtained in the dungeon would disappear, and the dungeon progress would not be saved, which was equivalent to restarting.

So players would not use this logout button casually unless there were extreme circumstances.

The disappearance of the logout button, the blocking of the system, the identity of the deceased when entering the dungeon, and all kinds of abnormal situations all indicated that the seemingly normal boy in front of him was the culprit for the abnormality of the dungeon.

“The weather is nice today.”

Bai You looked at the clear and bright moonlight at the door behind him, and suddenly said, “Christmas Eve, the streets should be fun.”

“Do you want to go?”

“Yeah.”

Bai You responded softly, then retracted his gaze to look at him, smiling, “Is it okay, boyfriend?”

The boy didn’t say anything for a long time, Bai You took it as his tacit agreement, stretched out his hand to him, and spread his palm.

Si Yu: “?”

Bai You blinked, his tone innocent, as if he was saying something very normal: “What’s wrong, don’t hold hands?”

“… No.”

“Okay.”

Bai You walked in front, snorted softly, and muttered softly, “Other boyfriends and girlfriends go out shopping holding hands, why are you so cold, one moment you dislike your girlfriend’s dirty hands and don’t let her touch, the next moment you don’t let her hold hands when you go out.

“I can hear you. “

Bai You kicked the stone at her feet, turned her head with her hands behind her back, and nodded openly, “It’s right that you heard it, I said it to you.”

“…”

“I can’t see that you are afraid at all.”

Who would face the crime scene directly, say that she is afraid, and want the murderer to hold her hand?

Bai You smiled and blurted out: “Because you don’t look like you want to kill me.”

Then, she paused, as if she felt that the next words were a little difficult to say, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

After a long while, she spoke in a low voice.

“Besides, I don’t think you are scary.”

After saying that, before Si Yu could say anything, she immediately raised her eyes, her snow-blue eyes were clear and transparent under the moonlight, and her face returned to that smiling look.

“Maybe this is the beauty in the eyes of the beholder? “

“…”

The girl was completely different from the reserved one when they first met.

At that time, she had to pretend to be Lin Songyue, so she spoke carefully and even acted pitifully, but he saw through her at once and teased her.

Now that everything was seen, she stopped pretending and exposed her true nature.

Si Yu’s eyebrows were cold and distant. He frowned slightly because of the too close distance, and his words were also indifferent and calm, “You should know that the letter is fake.”

Of course.

Bai You later figured it out. The letter was just a casual remark by Si Yu, and it was impossible for it to be a love letter.

“Yeah.”

She moved closer, staring at him with her pure snow-blue eyes without blinking, and her voice, which was originally a little cold, rose slightly, and her lazy tone was involuntarily stained with seriousness.

“But, what does this have to do with my liking you? “

“…”

“If you only care about love letters, I can write a few more and give them all to you.” She paused.

“In my own name.”

Si Yu lowered his eyelashes. There was no falsehood in her eyes. They were full of seriousness. Those eyes were pure and flawless, cleaner than anyone he had ever seen.

She seemed to be serious…?

But why?

“No need.”

Without a response, Bai You was relentless. He stared into the boy’s eyes and continued, “What about you? Don’t you like me? “

The last half of the sentence fell, with a strong sense of grievance, like an abandoned puppy.

Something seemed to be wrong with the development of the matter.

Si Yu originally just wanted to play for a while longer, and kept her by his side to watch the pretended ease on her face break and turn into a look of fear.

Her expression now should be full of fear and terror, struggling to escape and stay away from him. Instead of being like now, if he hadn’t controlled the distance, she would have been close to him.

Si Yu stared at her with heavy eyes, trying to find a little fear on her face, but there was none at all.

The girl pouted her lips in grievance, looking very disappointed. If she had a tail behind her, it must be drooping now.

“…No.”

“I knew it! “Bai You smiled, and her expression suddenly brightened up, and her happy mood even infected him.

He almost couldn’t help laughing, but he took it back when he reacted, with a cold face.

Looking at the girl’s face, this answer came out of his mouth for some reason, and he regretted it the moment he said it.

…What I like or not.

He should kill her now.

–

Probably because it was Christmas Eve, it was already twelve o’clock, and many stores on the street were still open, and the crowds were noisy. .

Every store will decorate some Christmas decorations more or less, and there are Santa Claus dolls and gifts in the windows. In the distance, there is a huge Christmas tree in the center of the square, wrapped with red and yellow colored lights, and a bright and shining Star of Bethlehem on the top.

People are coming and going around, and the lights are bright.

Si Yu sat on a chair, watching the girl come back from the door of the milk tea shop next to her, holding a cup of sundae sprinkled with Oreo crumbs in her hand.

His voice was flat, and no emotion could be heard.

“Is this the big thing you said you were going to do?”

“Of course. It’s a waste of winter not to eat sundae in winter.” Bai You scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth, feeling the cold milk taste melting in her mouth.

She shook the spoon, moved closer to him, and asked him kindly, “Do you want to eat? “

Si Yu didn’t answer the question at all. He thought of the strange looks from the people next to the store, as if they were looking at something dirty, disgusted and pitiful.

“What did you say to them just now?”

Bai You recalled and said truthfully: “I didn’t bring any money.”

“Then I told the owner that today was our third anniversary and my boyfriend wouldn’t let me eat, saying he didn’t have money to buy me one. The owner just gave me a cup.”

She blinked and smiled, “Am I smart?”

“…”

He understood why those people looked at him like that.

The sundae was not big, it was a small portion. Bai You ate almost all of it after a few spoonfuls. When she threw the box into the trash can and came back, she suddenly saw Si Yu walking towards the milk tea shop.

Bai You: “? “

Brother, didn’t you say you didn’t want to eat?

Three minutes later, the boy came back with a large paper bag from the milk tea shop and put it on the table. He pushed the bag with his slender knuckles and pushed it in front of Bai You.

He tapped the table with his fingertips, and his eyes, which had returned to black, were faintly smiling.

“In order not to waste your winter, please.”

Bai You opened it and saw sundaes of various flavors, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry… a full dozen cups.

She fell silent instantly.

She just said that casually to the owner. What a rotten kid, why is he still holding a grudge?

“By the way, do you not need to eat?”

Bai You remembered Si Yu’s true identity, closed the bag, and gestured a little, “It’s the food of humans, can you eat it?”

“Yes, but it tastes terrible. “

“So in order to maintain a normal life, do you have to…”

Catch someone every day to bite or something?

In fact, Bai You has been curious about vampires for a long time. She has read a lot of novels and comics, but the descriptions of vampires are mostly different. Now that a real one is in front of her, she naturally wants to ask more questions.

Although the vampire in front of her seems to have just been summoned by Lin Songyue’s blood sacrifice, it doesn’t look very smart.

The young man smiled slightly, his black eyes seemed to be soaked in snow water, and his cold voice was vaguely dangerous, and he spoke slowly.

“Do you want to try it?”

Bai You rolled her eyes and thought carefully. Anyway, it’s not real, and being bitten won’t turn into the same kind. At most, it will hurt a little, and you can also experience what it feels like to be sucked by a vampire.

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, so she slapped the table, “No problem, come on. “

Bai You pulled her scattered hair to reveal her fair neck, touched her own blood vessels, and looked at Si Yu with clear eyes with a little doubt.

“Where are you supposed to bite?”

Si Yu: “?”

–

In the end, Bai You didn’t eat more than a dozen cups of sundae, and gave them to the young couples on the road.

The game’s [feeling] system is 100% real. If she eats so many sundaes, she will either die of fullness or have a stomachache from the cold.

There are too many people on the street. In order to take care of Si Yu’s feelings, Bai You still didn’t choose to go to the center of the street to play.

The amusement park at midnight is no longer crowded during the day. The various amusement facilities are empty, and there is a strange silence in the emptiness.

Bai You didn’t choose to go to the playground. Instead of playing exciting projects, she went to the leisure park and took Si Yu to sit on the pink rotating teacup that was not powered at all.

The space inside the teacup was very small, just enough for two people to sit face to face, and their legs would touch each other inadvertently.

Thinking of Si Yu’s cleanliness and dislike of her dirtiness, Bai You raised her foot and stepped on him maliciously, leaving a half gray mark on his shoe surface.

I thought he would frown and get angry, but I didn’t expect him to still look calm and asked her instead.

“Since you want to play, why don’t you turn on the power?”

The power distribution room is right next to it. With her ability, it is a simple matter to open the door.

“It will cause unnecessary trouble to others.”

Bai You counted them carefully, “For example, employees wake up in the middle of the night and find that the facilities that should have been shut down suddenly move by themselves. Such ghost stories?”

Si Yu’s eyelashes dropped slightly, and his tone was contemptuous.

“Even if they see it, they won’t remember it.”

“Eh, is that so? “

Bai You hummed a little, blinked, and said in a low voice: “Actually, there is another reason. I have never played it before, so I am afraid that I will be embarrassed if I don’t do it well.”

The air was quiet for a while, about five minutes, and neither of them spoke.

The weather in early winter is still cold, and the cold wind blows, and the girl can’t help but shiver.

She stared at her toes and suddenly spoke, her voice was thin.

“You should know that I am not Lin Songyue herself.”

“Yeah.”

He has seen Lin Songyue many times, even if he doesn’t pay attention, he still remembers it.

“Actually, my name is Bai You.”

She smiled, “To tell you something incredible, I am actually dead, but I was inexplicably brought here by a system and reborn here.”

“The system issued a task to me, telling me that if I complete the task, I can continue to live in this world, and if I fail to complete it, my fate will be like the boy who was just next to us. “

“Everything in this world is very strange and totally contrary to common sense. I will die if I’m touched lightly, and I have no ability to fight back.”

“I’m scared.”

“But I don’t want to die. I don’t want to.”

The girl’s eyelashes trembled, and stars fell in her eyes, falling on the back of her clenched pale and helpless hands, sparkling.

She raised her face, her snow-blue eyes were moist and bright, as if she had found some hope, looking at the person in front of her.

“You are a vampire, right?”

The girl’s eyes were hopeful, soft but cautious.

“Can you… turn me into your kind? “

Things are getting more and more wrong.

He should have killed her when they first met.

Instead of letting her serve him and rest, he softened his heart and let go of the person who should have died. He didn’t do it to her again and again, and it became uncontrollably like now.

But it seems that it’s not as bad as she said.

Become his kind and fall into the abyss of eternal life with him.

He changed his mind.

The night was as dark as ink, and the moon had been blocked by heavy clouds without knowing when. When the wind blew, something cold and icy slowly fell.

It was snowing.

Si Yu’s eyelashes dropped slightly, and his eyes turned dark red again. The special color of his eyes was like a sea of ​​blood that made people indulge in it.

He reached out to her and spoke like the devil’s happy whisper.

“Of course. “

Bai You nodded cautiously.

She gently placed her fingertips on his palm, and instantly felt the cold temperature passing through her fingers, and the coldness penetrated her body.

Then she was gently pulled, and her body fell into an embrace that seemed like a cold pond.

Her hair was pushed aside by the cold knuckles, and the accumulated heat dissipated instantly. Her ears suddenly felt cold, and the coldness that accidentally touched her neck made her shiver.

Sharp teeth scratched across her delicate skin, and the coolness came with a slight sting. Bai You grabbed the corner of his clothes and called him softly.

“Si Yu.”

The fragile blood vessels were exposed, and the girl fell into his arms defenselessly. Even if she was killed by him in the next second, she had no power to resist.

But her trembling voice and the hand that tightly grasped his clothes still revealed her fear, but the words she said made people involuntarily think of abuse.

“Can you… be gentler. ”

“I’m afraid of pain.”
