Chapter warning: violence, attempted murder, swearing, and a lot of blood
Su Lin thought he must be bewitched.
His tactic was transparent, so Su Lin cautioned himself repeatedly against it.
Don’t fall into the trap.
Don’t fall into the trap.
And yet, when he came face to face with it, he lost all reason and simply jumped in head-first.
Su Lin pressed his lips against those lips that were so close to his, and his arms came up subconsciously to wrap around Xu Qichen, pulling him even closer.
Xu Qichen was filled with joy as he slipped his tongue in between Su Lin’s lips. His fingers climbed up Su Lin’s back to rub gently at his neck.
This light movement seemed to be rubbing directly on Su Lin’s heart, which has long been still.
The tip of his tongue gently swept over his smooth teeth, unable to go any further. Only when Xu Qichen snorted a little angrily did Su Lin relax and let the soft tip of his tongue enter his mouth as he wished.
The refreshing and slightly sour aroma of lemon rushed in at once, gently mixing with the gentle and sweet melted cream. The satisfaction of the taste buds made his heart feel as if it had been placed in the clouds, floating lightly.
Just as he sensed Su Lin’s response, the tip of his tongue deftly dodged, searched for that hidden sharp tooth, licked it gently, and quickly left Su Lin’s lips before he could react.
Xu Qichen looked at Su Lin, who was still slightly stunned, with his hand still around his neck without parting. He gently licked the corner of his mouth and said, “Sweet and sour, it’s very delicious.”
Xu Qichen could not describe Su Lin’s expression; he seemed a little angry, and a little embarrassed. It felt like spring in Xu Qichen’s heart, with flowers blooming everywhere.
He kissed Su Lin again, gently shaking his head and rubbing their lips together like a kitten clinging to its master. He rubbed it for a while and then separated, with a very soft voice. “Do you like me?”
Seeing Su Lin’s tightly pursed lips, Xu Qichen wanted to laugh but did not dare to. He gazed into Su Lin’s eyes and asked again, “Do you like me?”
Su Lin could not stand his teasing like this, so he placed his hand on the back of his head and tried to kiss him. However, Xu Qichen reached out and covered his mouth.
He raised an eyebrow, “If you don’t like me, why are you kissing me? Are you scum?”
Su Lin, whose mouth was covered, glared at Xu Qichen fiercely and suddenly licked Xu Qichen’s palm.
Xu Qichen was startled. He didn’t expect Su Lin to act like this. Before he could react, he was even bitten by Su Lin. He hissed in pain.
By the time Xu Qichen reacted, Su Lin had already stood up and left without a glance back.
What was that…? Xu Qichen pondered as he shook the pain out of his hand.
This feeling is like playing with a cute puppy on the side of the road, who got more energetic the more you played with it.
In the end, it bites you hard.
Xu Qichen opened his palm and looked at it.
In the last section of the ring finger, there is a small ring of tooth marks, it was a little red, and even a little warm.
[This spot, save it for me.]
This memory came unbidden to his mind, and Xu Qichen unnaturally curled up the finger, then picked up the rice ball that had fallen earlier. He bit into it feigning nonchalance.
He probably has his memories as well.
Could he also be a conscious subject?
“0901, are you here?”
0901 replied very quickly, “Mr. Xu, how may I help you?”
After a moment’s thought, Xu Qichen asked, “Aside from me, is there anyone else in the system who is conscious?”
0901: “My apologies, Mr. Xu. I do not have the authority to answer this question.”
Xu Qichen sighed, “Then… do the targets retain their memories across worlds?”
0901: “Mr. Xu, despite being an AI, I can tell that this question and the previous one are of the same essence. I do not have the authority to answer this question.”
It’s really difficult to fool him. Who developed this AI? Xu Qichen angrily ate a mouthful of the rice ball.
If his memory could be preserved, either he was a conscious subject like himself, or the system can set memory storage for the character, but if it was the latter, what was the meaning behind it?
And if it was the former… Like himself, that person must be someone from the real world.
Who could it be? And why would he have entered the system together with him?
The various provocative actions Xu Qichen had made these days were nothing more than trying to test whether Su Lin had memories of his previous role. It was precisely based on this assumption that he dared to take the initiative with Su Lin.
Su Lin’s reactions felt familiar, yet were not precisely the same.
At this point, a new question came up.

To tell the truth, he really did not believe that Su Lin disliked him. If he really had his previous memories, how could he endure them? They’ve been together in several worlds, it was like they’ve lived together for several lifetimes.
Xu Qichen was startled by his sudden analogy.
Several lifetimes? As if it were not all a lie.
But most of the time, he was indifferent, as if he didn’t care at all.
Could it be that he was thinking too much, and he actually did not have any memory? Perhaps it was simply that due to the way the system was designed, they had some similarities?
The previous hypothesis was quickly overturned by himself, and Xu Qichen lay on the table in distress.
He checked his WeChat. Lu Xuan, being the socialite he was, had received a lot of messages, none of which came from Su Lin.
After debating with himself for a while, he sent a message.
[Dr. Su, are you busy?]
As soon as he sent it out, he felt that this sentence was simply nonsense, just like he hated being sent [Are you here] by others. Why not just get straight to the point? It was a complete waste of time.
The more he thought about it, the more he hated it, so he simply hit delete.
Looking at the prompt [You deleted a message], Xu Qichen despondently put his phone back in his pocket.
He now finally realised the taste of taking the initiative in a relationship, which was really beyond the ordinary people’s ability.
Moreover, he had the perspective of the original author and had already calculated that the other party had a 80% chance of liking him before daring to do so. If everything was unknown, he might not dare to easily step out of his comfort zone.
Xu Qichen sighed just as the bell rang, signalling the end of class.
“Lu Xuan, do you want to join us for kebabs?”
Xu Qichen looked up. After some consideration, he replied, “… Sure.”
As soon as he walked out of the classroom with his classmates, the phone in Xu Qichen’s pants pocket vibrated.
[What did you delete?]
Xu Qichen’s eyes immediately brightened.
“Lu Xuan? Lu Xuan?” His classmates had turned around to look at him. “What are you smiling at?”
Xu Qichen quickly stuffed the phone back into his pocket, “N-nothing. You guys go ahead, something came up.”
“Ai!”
“It’s my treat, next time!”
His classmates who have been ditched looked at one another, “Could he be dating…?”
Xu Qichen looked at his watch and found that it was already 6:40 pm. Su Lin was not on night shift today, and now he was probably off duty.
He decided to go to his house.
There was a spring in Xu Qichen’s steps until he stood in the subway station and looked at the reflective glass partition of the subway, when he realised something.
Why was he so happy?
He was not faking this happiness to fit Lu Xuan’s personality, but rather, this was a happiness that was coming from the bottom of his heart.
He felt like he was no longer himself.
“Welcome aboard Rail Trainsit Line 2…”
The carriage door opened and Xu Qichen walked in. It was during the rush hour, and it was very crowded. He found a spot to stand and put his headphones on. His mind was in a mess like this crowded car.
The phone in his hand remained dark the entire ride, never lighting up with a notification.
Should he reply to him? To let him know that he was on the way to his house…
Xu Qichen immediately unlocked the phone and opened the WeChat interface. He just typed the words ‘Dr. Su’ and deleted them one by one.
It suddenly occurred to him that there was no need to inform him. In the original setting, being bitten in the neck by a vampire was equivalent to having a preliminary marker, and within a certain range, the vampire can sense the blood donor. Before he reached the downstairs of Su Lin’s house, he might have already exposed his whereabouts.
Putting his head against the inner wall of the carriage, Xu Qichen sighed. Why did he add this device? Now he couldn’t even surprise him.
Xu Qichen was in such a daze that he was squeezed by an increasingly large crowd and his soul was lost. Suddenly, he heard a voice announcing the stop. His soul, which had just been lost for a few seconds, flew back.
“Excuse me, I need to get off…” Xu Qichen tried his best to squeeze through the crowd.. “Excuse me, could you please make way…”
Finally, he made it to the door of the carriage. Outside the door, the black tunnel reflected the crowded scene inside the car. Xu Qichen stared intently, and suddenly noticed a familiar face. Before he could see it clearly, the black tunnel disappeared, turning into bright lights and a waiting platform.
Xu Qichen subconsciously looked back.
“Ai, are you getting off? Don’t block the way!”
Xu Qichen was pushed by someone behind him. He repeatedly said “I’m sorry,” and walked out of the car with the crowd.
Xu Qichen frowned slightly as he stepped onto the escalator, feeling something was wrong in his heart.
Probably the reason why he felt a bit absentminded all day today.
By the time he swiped his card to exit the subway station, it was already dark outside. With headphones still on, Xu Qichen walked towards the community where Su Lin lived. This was adjacent to the development zone, with fewer people than the downtown area, and not many residents in the community. Even the security guards at the entrance were not always there, which also saved Xu Qichen from having to explain his presence.
The greening of this newly built upscale residential area is particularly excellent, with a variety of flowers, plants, and trees planted. During the day, under the sunlight, it was vibrant and particularly natural. However, at night, with so many trees, it looked a bit gloomy.
Xu Qichen was brave enough to step on the swaying shadow of a tree on the ground and walk straight ahead, but his heart kept feeling uneasy, so he took off his earphones and looked back.
There was nothing but twigs swaying under the streetlights and dark bushes.
Could he really be overthinking?
Xu Qichen turned around and put on his earphones again, but secretly turned off the music.
His pace involuntarily quickened a bit, and through the cobblestone path lined with camphor trees on both sides, he reached the downstairs of Su Lin’s building.
He clearly heard the sound of the soles rubbing against the pebbles from behind.
Xu Qichen did not turn around, but accelerated his pace and even wanted to run, but his legs had not yet healed, he was barely able to walk and could not run at all.
He would rather have made a mistake than really want something to happen. But the other party seemed to have sensed Xu Qichen’s vigilance more quickly. Before he could leave, he was completely knocked down to the ground. With Xu Qichen’s right leg hurt badly, and the person half pressed against him, there was no room for resistance.
“Who are you? Let go of me…”
“Who fucking told you to be a busybody?” The man twisted Xu Qichen’s arms behind him, making him unable to struggle anymore, and then cruelly stepped on Xu Qichen’s right leg.
Busybody?
Xu Qichen suddenly realized that what he saw in the carriage just now was not an illusion. The familiar figure was the scum child molester he had caught on the subway last time!
“You even took a video? What do you think you are?”
Xu Qichen’s legs were too painful to move, and side of his face was bruised by the stones on the ground. “Let go of me! Otherwise you will regret it…”
“How dare you threaten me! I’ll teach you the consequences of meddling today!”
The man suddenly raised his voice and he was surprisingly strong. He grabbed Xu Qichen’s arm and dragged him to a nearby bush. Xu Qichen’s leg injury made him unable to stand up at all. The pervert stepped on Xu Qichen’s arched back, causing Xu Qichen to cry out in pain.
Suddenly, accompanied by a sharp pain, Xu Qichen felt something cold and sharp penetrating his body from his back!
He didn’t expect this person to carry a murder weapon!
“Who told you to speak up? What did that have anything to do with you?”
The pervert cursed and stabbed Xu Qichen like a madman with a fruit knife in his hand. The stabbing went deeper and deeper. Xu Qichen’s mouth exuded a bloody smell, and the pain of the piercing of the flesh and blood made him almost unable to make a noise for help. The bloody smell spread like an airtight net, tightly wrapping him inside, unable to breathe, even unable to feel the pain…
“Bah, go to hell, fucker…”
The sharp and cold knife was suddenly pulled out, and Xu Qichen cried out in pain, feeling the foot that had stepped on his back lift and spit on the ground. Xu Qichen felt like he was covered in blood, and the heavy smell of blood made him dizzy and dizzy. There was an irreducible pain from his internal organs, which made him have no strength to climb up at all. He could only watch the murderer leave this bush.
His fingers twitched and he tried to move his arm to get the phone in his pocket, but he had lost all his strength.
I can’t anymore…
Save me…
Su Lin, who was reading a science magazine in his room, suddenly felt a strong sense of pain, making him almost unable to breathe, and his pupils suddenly enlarged.
Something happened to Xu Qichen.
He hurriedly left the room and as soon as he opened the door, he smelled the smell of blood.
The smell was so strong that Su Lin’s back became cold. His hands involuntarily clenched, and even his bones became slightly white because of too much force. If it weren’t for fear of revealing his identity, he would open the window and jump out.
The speed of the elevator was horribly slow, and Su Lin felt chills all over his body. His mind was filled with uncontrollable fear and anger, and his sense had completely lost its function. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could sense Xu Qichen’s pain and struggle at the moment, feeling his life gradually slipping away.
He could feel his breathing and pulse weaken…
As soon as the elevator door opened, Su Lin followed his perceptual power as quickly as possible to find Xu Qichen, who was lying dying in the bushes.
He could hardly believe his eyes, and the person who was still laughing and messing around in front of him at noon was now lying in this hidden patch of grass, his white sweater dyed bright red.
Su Lin picked up Xu Qichen. Excessive blood loss made his body no longer warm, and his heart beat feebly, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth all the way to the side of his neck.
At this moment, the consciousness that was about to dissipate seemed to return to Xu Qichen. He tried hard to lift his hand and tried to touch Su Lin’s pale face, but he had no strength to lift it anyway.
“You’re here… I… I knew you would…”
The heart in his chest had been sleeping for thousands of years, unable to beat nor feel, but at this moment, Su Lin felt his chest tighten in pain.
Why didn’t he notice sooner?
Why!?
Ignoring the risk of being noticed by anyone, under the quiet night, Su Lin’s shoulder blades strangely stirred behind him, struggling to stretch out from the cracked white shirt, and eventually evolving into a pair of huge black wings, like the wings of a bat.
He quietly held Xu Qichen in his arms, flew to the sky at an amazing speed, reached the french window of his house, protected his body with his arm, kicked the glass window, and carried him into the empty living room.
Su Lin’s eyes turned blood red due to his uncontrollable emotions. He laid Xu Qichen flat on the floor, noticing how his blood had dyed his chest a bright red.
The cold moonlight pierced through the broken glass window and sprinkled on Xu Qichen’s broken and bright red body, cruelly blending with the thick smell of blood, weaving a sensational and bizarre beauty.
Xu Qichen’s hands trembled, and he felt around the floor until he found Su Lin’s knee. A mouthful of blood gushed from the corners of his mouth, with a terrifying crimson between his teeth.
“Su Lin… hug… hug me… it’s cold…”
Su Lin knew very well that he could have been an ordinary person, living a simple and ordinary life without hiding in dark corners or hiding his identity. He did not want to make him his own kind.
But at this moment, Su Lin only wanted him to live.
Even if that beautiful heart can never again beat.
Su Lin reached out and held Xu Qichen in his arms, gently kissing his chilly lips.
His voice was very low, like the moonlight outside the window, gentle and cruel.
“I love you.”
The bandage on the side of Xu Qichen’s neck was lifted, like the lifting of a taboo seal. His sharp fangs pierced Xu Qichen’s smooth skin, causing him to feel a strong stimulus at the moment when he was about to lose consciousness. The blood in his body came alive again, and it eagerly gathered, attracted by a force that was too strong to resist, as if it was almost ready to leave this body and rush into another.
The man in his arms let out a painful gasp
Su Lin’s lips gently pressed against Xu Qichen’s smooth skin and greedily sucked the blood from his body. The warm, fishy and sweet liquid gurgled like a sweet spring through his throat, inch by inch downward, burning his dark and cold body, becoming increasingly intense and almost boiling.
The rolling of the Adam’s apple revealed his uncontrollable thirst. His mind was filled with heartache and reluctance to part with reason, but his bloodthirsty instinct and desire made him enjoy this moment incomparably.
Trying to suck every drop of blood from his body.
Let it flow into his body and become an inseparable part.
In his arms, let him dry up and die.
In his arms, let him be reborn into eternal life.
Xu Qichen’s consciousness became increasingly blurred, as if he had sunk into the water of a lake, fallen, drowned, suffocated, and the pupils of his eyes were slightly lax. The light inside constantly disappeared, turning into a deep, lifeless darkness.
Su Lin struggled to resist the extreme pleasure brought by bloodsucking and staggered to his feet. Xu Qichen’s blood spilled from the corners of his mouth and dripped into his chest. He found a sharp knife and slashed his wrist, then knelt down and gently lifted Xu Qichen’s head.
The person in his arms was only a step away from death. Su Lin put his wrist close to his lips, but he had no strength to suck. The dark blood touched his lips and slid down again.
Reluctantly, Su Lin could only hold his slit wrist to his mouth, endure the pain and suck out the blood, then kiss Xu Qichen’s lips and feed them into his mouth in this way.
Blood flowed down the tip of his soft tongue into Xu Qichen’s throat.
The stillness of the lake was suddenly disturbed, and he was dragged out of the bottom with both hands.
The burning sensation in his throat brought unprecedented stimulation and pleasure.
Xu Qichen’s originally dull eyes turned bright red in an instant, and a deep voice came from his throat. Su Lin understood that he had accepted his own blood, so he raised his head and fed his wrist to his mouth.
The blood of his beloved was on his lips, and Xu Qichen’s heart was throbbing. The newborn tusks were grinding his lips, making his heart itch and unbearable.
He first tentatively rubbed it with his lips and tip of his teeth, as if it were an intimate kiss. The only result of such a temptation was addiction. He was like an alcoholic, licking and sucking greedily and hungrily. The cold blood was so sweet that he couldn’t stop.
The physical strength that had previously passed away gradually returned to this completely different body, and the desires in the bottom of his heart became more and more, no longer dominated by the brain.
More…
I want more…
Lying in Su Lin’s arms, Xu Qichen stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Su Lin’s wrist, as if afraid that he would leave, greedily sucking on the liquid in his blood vessels, just wanting to drink more and let every drop of blood seep into his body.
He did not know how to describe himself now. Desire, fear, joy, ecstasy… The ultimate pleasure was like an unstoppable ocean wave, drowning him in a boiling heat, and even the biting ice could not quell the roaring flames in his body.
The oath of blood took effect from this moment.
Now they were the same.
The dark night, the moonlight, the sweet and bloody scent that filled the entire room.
The embrace of desire and life, a gloomy and beautiful blend.
The weak heartbeat stopped beating the second it heard, “I love you.”
Frozen into endless eternity.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Well dang.
😍
