Chapter 7 About Him and Him 3
No matter how unwilling I was inside, in the end, when the two of us came out of the park and went to the supermarket to buy food, my first stop was still to go straight to the meat freezer.
I despised myself deeply in my heart, and comforted myself: We were here to celebrate this guy's discharge from the hospital, so I should be more accommodating to him. Besides, it's just steak, a simple request, and it's okay to satisfy it. I have always been a very generous person.
Yes, it is like that.
I pushed the cart to the freezer, where there were many steaks that had been sealed with plastic wrap. I was about to choose beef, but Lagoud stopped me with an experienced look, pointing to the other side and said, "Look, there is beef that has just been delivered and has not been cut or packaged yet. That is the freshest, and we can just ask them to cut as much as we need to buy, how great."
I looked at this guy in surprise: single life really can train a person, even this guy who looks so good as if he is out of touch with the world can actually express the aunties' arguments without any confusion!
"Okay, since the beef over there is fresh, let's go buy it." I pushed the cart over there. When I was about a meter away from the counter, a strong smell of blood suddenly penetrated my nose.
I felt my heart beating violently and my steps stopped.
"What's wrong, Kiki? Hurry up." Lagood looked at me with a smile and stretched out his hand to push me forward.
"No, Lagude—" The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and I felt the terrible desire in my body begin to awaken again. No, I can't!
I want to stop.
“Lagude——” I looked at him fearfully.
"Qiqi, hurry up, look, the uncle is cutting beef. The meat is really fresh and the blood is bright red." said Lagood.
Bright, bright red...blood.
A strong smell of blood rushed into my nose.
The desire in my body kept clamoring, and I wanted to turn around and run away, but when I finally turned around, I found that my hand was being held by Lagood. What was worse was that this careless guy didn't even notice anything wrong with me and just dragged me forward.
"No, I can't go over there anymore!" I opened my mouth, but unfortunately the words of rejection just stayed in my mouth and no sound came out.
"Would you like to buy some beef? The meat is very fresh. Take a look if you don't believe me." The butcher greeted the customers warmly when he saw them coming. He also handed me the freshly cut beef, trying hard to prove that what he said was true.
When the fresh piece of beef was handed to me, I felt my brain go blank. The only concrete and real existence was the smell of blood at the tip of my nose that was fatally attractive.
I was completely powerless to resist, whether it was the desire in my heart, the changes in my body, or the taste of the delicious beef in front of me.
…
"Ah——" Waves of screams rang out in panic, finally awakening my originally scattered consciousness.
"Mom, she's so horrible, she eats raw beef."
"Is this girl a monster? She keeps sucking blood from the beef!"
…
I saw that I didn't know when, but I was surrounded by people. They were about two meters away from me, looking at me with fear and curiosity.
I looked down at my bloody hands, and the piece of beef fell dryly at my feet. Everything showed that, at that moment, I had turned into a blood-sucking monster again.
what to do?
I didn't dare to raise my head too high, for fear that people would notice my bloodshot eyes. I didn't dare to speak, for fear that my canine teeth would be exposed. I didn't dare to move, for fear that if I moved, I would be attacked from all sides.
Even though I had no intention of hurting anyone, if I dared to get even one step closer to them, they would probably throw things at me without saying a word.
I lowered my head and tried hard to force myself to calm down.
"Mom, she's not moving! Is she dead?"
"Little boy, don't go over there. Be careful. She will suck all the blood out of the beef and then come and suck yours."
"Yeah, yeah, I think we should stay further away from each other."
"That's right. Let's call the police. Who knows, maybe she will really attack us."
"I don't think so. She's just a little girl. I guess she just has some mental problems. Maybe we can call the mental hospital?"
…
The sounds of discussion around me kept coming into my ears. I squatted down in fear and huddled in a corner of the closet.
Who, is there anyone who can save me?
Who can help me, tell me what to do? I am not a monster, I am not a psychopath, I will not hurt anyone. I don't want to be like this at all. I am just an ordinary student. Why is this happening? Who can save me?
"Qiqi! Qiqi, are you okay?"
"Qiqi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left to pick vegetables. I'm sorry I'm late."
"Qiqi, don't be afraid, I'm here."
A series of anxious shouts rang out when I was most panicked and helpless. I looked up and saw Lagude holding a bag of vegetables in his hand, trying desperately to squeeze through the crowd and walk towards me. Because the bag of vegetables was too much of a hindrance, he was so anxious that he threw it away, and then pushed through the crowd in a few seconds and ran towards me.
"Qiqi, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." Lagude hugged me with great guilt, saying sorry non-stop. My head leaned weakly on his shoulder, looking at the large group of people lying on the ground behind him. Those people were pushed to the ground one by one when he just pushed them away in a hurry. I didn't expect that this weak guy who was holding me, this guy who fainted at any time on weekdays, could have such great strength when he was anxious, and pushed so many people to the ground in a few strokes. He must be too worried about me. Thinking of this in my heart, the originally helpless mood slowly calmed down. Qiqi, it's okay, Lagude is here. He said that he would always be with you, so don't be afraid. I reached out and hugged him back, and I clearly felt that his body trembled violently at that moment. A sweet smile appeared at the corner of my mouth.
"I'm sorry for scaring you all." After comforting me, Lagoud bowed to the people around him and apologized, explaining in detail, "In fact, we are now filming a program about various strange diets around the world, one of which is sucking fresh beef blood. In order to increase the effect of the program, our host did it himself, but he didn't expect to scare everyone."
"Excuse me, uncle!"
"I'm sorry, pretty auntie."
"And little sister, were you scared just now? I apologize to you."
...Lagude bowed to everyone and apologized politely. Although everyone had questions on their faces, when a handsome guy who was comparable to a big star apologized so politely and thoughtfully, no one was embarrassed to ask any more questions. It seemed that if they continued to ask questions, they would be bullying the handsome guy.
"Come on, Qiqi, I'll support you, let's go." After apologizing, Lagood came over and hugged me considerately, letting me lean all my weight on him, and then the two of us walked out of the supermarket slowly, step by step.
"It's okay, Qiqi, I'm here." Seeing that I didn't say anything all the way, Lagude couldn't help but speak again and again to comfort me. The words of comfort were pale, and there was only one sentence after all, but every word and every sentence, one by one, went into my heart.
I reached out and grasped his hand tightly.
Qiqi, you may not know that you have entered the most critical period of mutation, and from my observation, your bloodthirstiness is higher than others. If you stay , it will only put them in danger and you will fall into pain...
Jiusha's words suddenly came into my mind like a magic spell.
I felt as if I was pricked by a needle and quickly let go of Lagood's hand.
I will harm Lagoud, I will harm him.
If I could still confidently say that I would be with Lagude well when facing Jiusha in the morning, now, all my confidence has been shattered.
Even a small piece of fresh beef can easily turn me into a vampire. Why should I be so confident that I will never hurt Lagude?
"Qiqi, don't be afraid, I'm here." Lagude reached out and held me in his arms again, saying it over and over again.
"No, that's not the case! Lagude, what should I do? I...now even a piece of fresh beef can turn me into a vampire. I feel that my bloodthirstiness is getting stronger and stronger. What should I do?"
"It's okay, it's okay. At worst, I can just eat more blood-enriching foods and exercise more in the future, and that's it." Lagood said confidently.
"It's useless. Stop kidding." I shook my head and broke free from Lagoud's arms. "I can't control my bloodlust, you know? Today I can't even stand fresh beef. If it's your blood, I'm afraid that one day, I won't be able to resist and suck all the blood out of you in one breath."
I held my head in pain. I couldn't even think about such a scenario, let alone what I would do if it really happened.
"Lagud, please go away and let me be alone for a while." I pushed him away from me.
"No, I won't leave." Lagude stood beside me stubbornly. "Qiqi, I've said it before. Rather than leaving you, I'd rather die. There's nothing scary about death. What's scary is living like death."
“But…but…”
"No buts." Lagude held my hand tightly. "Your behavior today is indeed very strange. Let's go find your friends at the Human Research Institute. Didn't you say they are very powerful? Maybe they know what happened to you."
"In short, Qiqi, no matter what happens, I will be by your side. You don't have to be afraid, and don't even think about getting rid of me." Lagude said firmly, "You have to know that my heart has been with you for a long time, so I will not leave you."
"Unless--" Lagood looked down at me, and I looked back at him. At that moment, there was an obscure emotion in his eyes that I could hardly understand.
"Unless what?" I asked, unconsciously following his words.
"Unless you give me my heart back." He said, and when he finished speaking, the expression on his face became very dark and gloomy. I had never seen La Gude look like this before, and for a moment I didn't know how to respond to him, so I could only look at him stupidly. It was not until a long time later that he smiled at me again and returned to the La Gude I was familiar with.
"Idiot! Ai Qiqi, you are such a little fool!" He hugged me tightly, smiling brightly and sighing deeply.
I know I'm stupid, but after being "praised" by this guy without any hesitation, even a good-tempered person would get angry, so I raised my fist and couldn't help but hit him "hard" a few times, but who knew that this made him laugh "hahahaha" instead.
I rolled my eyes at him, and then laughed too. All the panic, uneasiness and fear seemed to be bearable with a smile because of this guy by my side.
Lagoud, I feel like, in fact, I have already given my heart to you.
