Chapter 2 What? Proposal? 2
"Hey, are you okay?"
I squatted down and poked Lagoud with a finger.
He was motionless and made no sound.
I don’t know if it was my illusion, but I always felt that at that moment, I seemed to see a white soul-like thing floating out of his body...
Hey, hey, he's not really dead, is he?
I almost cried. He fainted just yesterday? And he caused me so much trouble...
Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through my mind: the time he fainted yesterday had already caused all kinds of inexplicable rumors to spread around the school. If other people found out that he fainted again, then I...
I suddenly felt a chill and almost fainted at the mere thought of that horrible scene.
No, we must not let the fact that he fainted be exposed!
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt like I was given an injection of chicken blood. I looked at the classmates in the classroom and they didn’t seem to notice me and Ragud. I immediately seized the time, gritted my teeth, carried Ragud on my back and rushed to the infirmary.
While running wildly, I was crying silently in my heart.
Sigh - it's only the first day and there are so many troubles! I don't know how I will get through the days with this guy in the class!
"Teacher, teacher, please come and take a look, my classmate suddenly fainted..." After running to the door of the infirmary, I wisely chose to put Lagood down and change to a supporting position.
"What's wrong?" The teacher in the infirmary heard the noise, opened the door and came out. Seeing me supporting a tall boy, he looked shocked and asked, "You supported him here by yourself?"
"Of course... not, it's just that the classmate who just came here left first for something." I lowered my head and whispered a little lie.
"I think so too. How can a girl like you support such a tall boy?" The teacher in the infirmary helped Lagood to the bed and started a series of examinations.
"Teacher, what happened to his body? He was fine a second ago, but he fainted after carrying the bucket for a while. It was such a short time, it's impossible to say that he was tired." I followed the teacher, watching him nervously, observing Lagoud's complexion from time to time, and measuring his blood pressure... Finally, 30 minutes later, the medical teacher stopped all actions and looked at me with concern.
"You are this boy's girlfriend, right? How come you don't care about your boyfriend's health?"
"No, teacher, I'm not——"
"You're still denying it. I've examined you very clearly. Your boyfriend's body is the weakest among all the patients I've ever met. Did you know that? Even those who are seriously ill and hospitalized for surgery may not be as weak as him."
"Ah——" I exclaimed in surprise, "No way? He looks quite healthy."
"Healthy? How can a healthy person suddenly faint? Let me tell you, this kid not only has anemia and low blood pressure, but his breathing is also very weak. Most importantly, his heartbeat is very abnormal. You'd better wait for him to wake up and take him to the hospital for a thorough check-up. I suspect he has a serious heart disease." The teacher in the infirmary listed a long list of symptoms in one breath.
"Heart disease?" My heart sank. No one knows the pain caused by heart disease better than me. This beautiful person in front of me, is he going to experience the pain I have experienced?
I looked at the young man lying on the hospital bed. Although his face was as pale as paper, he was still handsome and elegant. I could not accept that the rest of his life might be like mine before, and he would no longer have joy, anger, sadness... such ups and downs of emotions.
"Are you sad now?" The medical teacher looked at me and said, "You should pay more attention to your boyfriend in the future! Really, he is so weak, and you are still making trouble for him. Who knows - maybe he wants to propose to you because he knows that he doesn't have much time left!"
Propose, propose... My original worried and sad mood quickly dissipated because of the stimulation from the medical teacher's words.
Why does even the teacher know about this unfortunate thing?
I am simply speechless.
"Young people, listen carefully to the teacher's words of experience and cherish the people around you."
"ah?"
I stared blankly at the medical teacher's earnest expression, my face almost freezing.
Please, can someone tell me why someone would say such outrageous words so calmly? It's so scary...
At this time, the medical teacher patted me on the shoulder and said, "Okay, stay here with your boyfriend for a while. When he wakes up, you can leave. Oh - by the way, don't forget to take him to the hospital for a thorough check-up."
"But, but, I really am not——"
"Whether you don't care enough or not, the person you need to explain to is not the teacher anymore. Wait until your boyfriend wakes up, then you can explain it properly."
"No, teacher—"
"Okay, okay, teacher got it. As soon as I came to school today, I have heard no less than three versions of your love story. No matter which one it is, classmate, you must cherish it." The medical teacher winked at me in a very gossipy way, then closed the door and left, thinking he was very understanding.
I stared at the tightly closed door of the infirmary in silence, repeating to myself “gossip is always higher than reality” a dozen times, then pretended to be calm and sat down beside the bed, waiting for the gossip protagonist to wake up.
To be honest, it's not that I haven't thought about just walking away. After all, from yesterday to now, I haven't had a good impression of this guy in the two times I met him. But - thinking of what the teacher said just now, I just couldn't bear it. Even when looking at this annoying guy, I felt that he was not so annoying. Instead, I felt a little distressed.
It was a kind of sympathy and pain. And this guy's perfect appearance made people feel reluctant to part with him.
Such a beautiful boy turned out to be a heart patient... and not being able to experience extreme joy and sorrow means not being able to experience many meaningful things in life. Really - what a pity.
I just sat quietly by the bed, waiting for Lagoud to wake up. Maybe it was because it was too quiet, or maybe I was too tired from the nightmares for several days, but before I knew it, I fell asleep leaning against the bed.
I don't know how long it took, but in a daze, I saw large patches of green grass, with ripples in the cool breeze. I didn't know what was wrong with me, I just felt that I was looking for something, but I didn't know what it was, so I could only run non-stop until I saw the white figure in the layers of green waves.
The slender young man in white clothes lay quietly in the waves formed by the green grass, as if he was sleeping, and his slightly raised side had the most perfect curve I have ever seen.
Who is that?
I felt my heart pounding, but I couldn't remember who the white figure was. The only thought in my mind was that the person must be very important to me. So I ran towards him quickly, but for some reason, even though the distance was very close, I couldn't get closer no matter how hard I ran. Just when I was almost crying, I found that my body suddenly began to change, slowly turning from a human into a giant bat, flapping its huge wings and flying towards the white figure.
This time, I quickly came to the boy.
I quietly landed beside the boy and stared at his perfect face for a long time. After making sure that my blank mind had no memory of him, I suddenly smiled, a smile that even I found strange. It was around that time that I realized in panic that I could no longer control my behavior.
Then, the next second, I looked at myself in fear as I lowered my head and sniffed the boy's neck. Suddenly, a fatally attractive smell of blood filled my nose. This was a scent that was more attractive than any other scent I had ever smelled.
If I say that I have ever been unable to resist the taste of Jiusha's blood in my dreams countless times.
At this moment, this smell, which is more delicious than any other fragrance, is completely irresistible to me.
I watched myself lower my head, revealing my long canine teeth, and bite hard into the boy's beautiful neck.
The sweet and warm blood immediately rolled down my tongue and quickly slid down my throat. I felt my heart start to beat violently and uncontrollably, as if this was the blood that truly belonged to it.
My body was warmly welcoming the boy's blood. Almost every cell in my body was clamoring for its love for it. However, my brain was gradually becoming clearer because of the clear smell of blood that I had never experienced before.
Blood, such a strong smell of blood... No... No!
I tried hard to use my willpower to fight against my body, screaming and shaking my head.
"No, I don't want it--" I jumped up and screamed, and then I heard a wail of "Ah--".
It turned out that I woke up from a nightmare and accidentally collided with Lagude's head.
I was embarrassed and wanted to apologize to him, but I was not careful and tripped over the chair I had just sat on, and fell to the ground. Just when I was about to use my improved balance to correct my falling posture...
"Qiqi, be careful!"
Lagude hugged me. However, he got up from the bed too quickly and fell to the ground with a thud after hugging me.
It hurts!
I lay on the ground and started rolling my eyes uncontrollably.
I should be touched by his willingness to sacrifice his life to save others, but I could have made this all much simpler and safer if he hadn't been so nosy.
"Hey, let me get up!"
“Wait… wait a minute… ouch…”
I struggled to get up from the ground, but I didn't expect that the useless Lagude would hang on me with his weak legs and feet, causing me to be entangled with him in a strange way.
As we were entangled, I looked up and inadvertently saw this guy's white neck, which was almost exactly the same as the boy's neck in my dream. I wonder if it tastes just as delicious? This thought flashed through my mind uncontrollably.
Then, this idea grew wildly in my mind in an instant like a big tree taking root.
I felt an itch in my teeth, and the next second, two long canines protruded from my mouth.
With a "boom", my mind went blank.
Inhale quickly, inhale quickly, inhale quickly!
There was a voice rising from the bottom of my heart, urging me again and again.
I stared at Lagoud's neck blankly, and finally, I lowered my head instinctively.
