Bite Your Fingertips

80th -【You want it】

Chu Yu felt like a fire was burning through his body.

Up until they were walking on the street in the early hours of the morning while the cool wind was blowing through, the fire still hadn’t died out and instead burned even more intensely.

The bloody atmosphere among the overflowing wildness and aggression in the fighting arena had roused Chu Yu’s instinct. He licked his lower lip and tasted a familiar sweet taste.

Lu Shi’s blood.

Thinking of this and recalling the images associated with it, Chu Yu’s mouth and tongue dried-up. He wished he could be separated from Lu Shi — the culprit — 100,000 miles away.

He felt that he really wouldn’t be able to stand the slightest stimulation right now.

Seeing that Chu Yu was walking on the same street as him, yet deliberately separating himself by two steps with his mind seemingly lost in thought, Lu Shi’s footsteps gradually slowed down.

Chu Yu didn’t realize that all of his attention was on how to suppress his restless little thoughts.

It was only when Lu Shi suddenly stopped, clutched his wrist, abruptly slammed him behind a tree trunk, and asked him in a dangerous tone, “Chu Yu, what are you thinking of?”

The surrounding illumination wasn’t bright, not to mention most of the light was blocked by the lush branches and leaves of the street’s trees. Lu Shi stood in front of Chu Yu, fully shrouding him in his shadow. His eyes revealed obvious displeasure.

Chu Yu was still stunned and hadn’t reacted when Lu Shi caught his chin.

Lu Shi’s voice was low and soft. “Hmm?”

The hostility exuding from his body hadn’t been cleared away, his eyebrows and eyes were suppressing a bit of impatience, and the cut at the corner of his lips was suffused red, but this small wound not only didn’t destroy the beauty of his appearance, but also added a bit of rebelliousness to his countenance.

Lu Shi was too close, making Chu Yu subconsciously want to step back. These subtle movements of his were discovered, and in the next second, some force was added to the fingers pinching Chu Yu’s chin as Lu Shi’s eyes subsequently deepened a bit.

The other party’s scent was overwhelming, inescapably invading his nasal cavity very aggressively. Perceiving this smell, Chu Yu felt that he couldn’t take it anymore.

“Lu Shi, d-don’t get so close to me.”

His voice was soft and trembling. One could tell at a glance that it wasn’t indifference or disgust, but more like something else.

Having a conjecture in his heart, Lu Shi took a small step forward and pressed his body closer. When he noticed something, the corner of his lips curved up, full of malice and teasing. “What will happen if I get too close?”

At that moment, Chu Yu was thinking, ‘this person’s too fucking naughty! I said to not get too close, but he did the opposite on purpose!’

He glared angrily at Lu Shi, his back against the tree trunk with nowhere to retreat. Not a moment later, his anger dissipated into smoke. He couldn’t hold it any longer, so he simply called out weakly, “Gege.”

Unexpectedly, after hearing these two words, Lu Shi’s eyes darkened. He stared at Chu Yu’s eyes, and his surging emotions were on the verge of becoming something real.

Chu Yu understood the dark color roaring in Lu Shi’s eyes.

His Adam’s apple moved and he whispered, “Gege, let’s go back.”

Along the way, the two of them didn’t say anything else, but in between their steps hid a bit of eagerness.

The light at the entrance of the corridor was broken, not yet repaired. Lu Shi stepped up the stairs and stopped in front of the closed door, then fished out the key to unlock it.

The door was slammed shut with a ‘bang’, and before the lights could be turned on, Chu Yu was pressed against the door by Lu Shi and kissed heavily. Chu Yu, who’d also been restraining himself for a long time, had his neck line stretched taut as he lifted his chin up to kiss Lu Shi.

This time was different than usual.

The fierce, primitive invasion and predation between males couldn’t be hidden by such an intimate distance.

The strength of the kiss was extremely heavy, and pain was starting to be felt on the two’s lips.

But what followed thereupon was more turbulent excitement.

It was pitch black in their field of vision, so nothing could be seen. Only the body temperature of the two people made contact, their rapid breathing tightly entangled like a thread.

In between kisses, Chu Yu looped his arms around Lu Shi’s neck. His voice was full of tension and slightly trembling. “Lu Shi, no…”

“You want it.”

Lu Shi’s breathing was also quite hurried as he coaxed, “Be good, don’t refuse.”

Chu Yu didn’t refuse any further. He could bear it no longer and submitted to his blood-sucking instinct. He opened his mouth and bit Lu Shi’s shoulder.

The blood was swallowed down the other’s throat. The tremendous pleasure blood-sucking brought was repeatedly stacked along Lu Shi’s arm, making him uncontrollably utter a low whimper. His entire body’s muscles tensed, then suddenly relaxed after a few seconds.

Turning on the light, Lu Shi pushed open the window, letting pre-dawn’s spring wind blow in.

Chu Yu located rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab from the drawer, wet the cotton swab, stooped down, and wiped the wound on the corner of Lu Shi’s lips little by little.

With this posture, Lu Shi put his hands around Chu Yu’s waist.

Chu Yu’s body trembled in sensitivity.

He was worried about what Lu Shi would do, and so warned, “I’m disinfecting you, don’t move.”

“Mm.”

Lu Shi lazily supported his head with his hands and watched Chu Yu like a beast that had restrained its claws and teeth; nonthreatening.

After Chu Yu cleansed the wound twice, Lu Shi got up.

Chu Yu asked him, “Are you going to take a bath?”

Lu Shi half-lowered his eyes, expression looking lazy and tired. “No, toilet.”

In the morning, when it was time for Lu Shi to go out, Chu Yu was still wrapped in a soft quilt and hadn’t gotten up. Before leaving, Lu Shi leaned over and kissed Chu Yu’s forehead then gently closed the door.

In a suite of the Manjali Resort Hotel, Fang Weishan, who was wearing a black nightgown, sat on a European-style sofa chair, holding a cup of coffee.

Although he’d been detained for a period of time, Fang Weishan obviously hadn’t suffered much, still as stout and smiling as before.

Lu Shi used to be very close to this uncle.

However, right now, the two of them were sitting opposite each other and neither intended to speak first.

Fang Weishan held a silver teaspoon, stirring the coffee round and round. While the steam wafted, he guessed what Lu Shi’s purpose was in looking for him.

He’d already discussed his sister, Fang Weiyun’s matter with Lu Shaochu a few days ago— about the unknown opponent hiding in the dark and making them stumble.

The method of installing listening devices within Fang Weiyun’s jewelry and Lu Shi’s watch was hard to guard against, and so his sister accidentally exposed the fact that she’d killed someone.

And since her phone had also been monitored for a long time, Fang Weiyun would’ve inadvertently revealed some clues over that course of time.

In the end, she was arrested with readily available evidence— that same night, the police had secretly followed and caught him red-handed under the bridge.

There was originally still leeway for Fang Weiyun, and she might not have necessarily been convicted so soon. But who would’ve thought that Fang Weiyun was so negligent back then that she left a fingerprint on the cement where the corpse was hidden!

It was settled. The evidence was irrefutable, even if they wanted to find a lawyer to get rid of the crime, they wouldn’t have been able to get rid of it.

Looking back now, Fang Weishan believed that the larger part of Fang Weiyun’s incident was due to bad luck and not being careful enough.

What was more vexing was that Fang Weiyun killing a person even caused the Fang family to have a hard time.

Facing Lu Shi, he still had a bottom line in his heart. As far as his sister’s nearly nonexistent magnanimity was concerned, even if she’d been treating Lu Shi like her own son on the surface, it definitely wasn’t that good in private.

As for his sister’s killing of Jiang Yueman, he really wasn’t too worried.

What could be the big deal with a person who’d died 18 years ago?

At this time, the most important fact was that their Fang family would be dependent on the Lu family for a period of time going forward. Lu Shi, the heir, must be held onto and could not be offended.

Thinking of this, Fang Weishan displayed a big smile and amiably asked, “Is there a reason for you to look for me today?”

He didn’t dare call himself uncle like in the past, and even his tone was extremely gentle.

Lu Shi tore open a sugar packet, poured it into his coffee cup, and stirred slowly with a silver spoon, no intention of answering.

Seeing Lu Shi’s expression, Fang Weishan’s heart was filled with anger.

From the time he was fished out, Lu Shaochu had been ordering him around without giving him any face.

And now, with Lu Shi, he couldn’t even get half a smiling face.

His heart was full of fire, but the smile on his face mustn’t dim.

Fang Weishan kept smiling as he spoke, “Interested in coffee lately? My friend brought a jar of high quality coffee beans from Cuba, how about I have it delivered to you?”

Lu Shi put down the silver spoon, picked up a cold towel on the side, and carefully wiped his fingers.

“No need, you keep it for yourself.”

Putting down the cold towel, Lu Shi raised his eyes and met Fang Weishan’s. “I looked for you today because I have business to discuss.”

Fang Weishan also put on a serious expression. “What’s the matter?”

Lu Shi’s manner of speaking was neither too fast nor too slow. “I presume Mr. Fang has been having a hard time recently, is that right?”

Fang Weishan displayed a smile on his face. “How can that be? Although life isn’t as good as before, my brother-in-law willingly reached out a hand at this difficult juncture of the Fang family. I can’t thank you enough.”

“Not as good as before? It should be far worse than before.” Lu Shi looked straight at Fang Weishan and pointed out, “Besides, for how long can you say ‘brother-in-law’?”

Fang Weishan was stabbed by the disdain in Lu Shi’s tone. He kept his expression steady and his tone the same. “Although my sister is dead, the affection is still there, don’t you think so?”

Lu Shi raised the corner of his lips in an undisguised sneer.

Fang Weishan’s brain processed quickly and he realized something.

He carefully adjusted his expression and switched to a nervous tone. “No… Lu Shi, why do you say that? Is there something uncl- I don’t know?”

Lu Shi sat lazily, leaning against the back of the sofa. He nodded lightly. “Don’t tell me you don’t know the name Iris.”

Fang Weishan became more and more puzzled as to what exactly Lu Shi’s purpose was in coming to talk to him this time.

He replied conservatively, “I know, I know, she’s a young model that my brother-in-law is keeping outside. Men, fickle, keeping young ones; it’s nothing strange.”

Lu Shi explained, “Then surely you know that Iris’ position is about to change. After she becomes the legal one, there are also brothers and relatives she needs to look after. Say, between Iris’ brother and you — the brother of a disgraceful dead ex-wife — who’s lighter and who’s heavier?”

Fang Weishan’s expression somewhat froze.

How could he not know?

Fang Weiyun’s relationship with Lu Shaochu had never been good, otherwise, Lu Shaochu wouldn’t have kept raising women outside. Throughout the years, their Fang family had been aware of it, but the Lu family cared about other people’s opinion, so their family had been doing well.

Now that it wasn’t his sister occupying the position of Mrs. Lu, then all that needed to be changed.

Thinking back on the present, even Lu Shaochu’s assistant dared to embarrass himself. If it weren’t for Lu Shaochu’s attitude behind it, how would a mere assistant dare do so?

Thinking deeply in this direction, Fang Weishan was even more apprehensive.

Lu Shi swept a glance at Fang Weishan’s subtle expression, chuckled, and continued, “As for Fang Weiyun, why was she sentenced to death so quickly without any room for negotiation? I don’t believe you don’t know why.”

He straightened his back, leaned slightly forward, and enunciated each word clearly and slowly, “The Lu family will not allow Fang Weiyun to tarnish the Lu family’s reputation, and would be eager for her to die sooner. After Fang Weiyun’s death, how can they make others forget what happened to Mrs. Lu? Of course, by changing to a new Mrs. Lu.”

After speaking, Lu Shi leaned back on the sofa chair again and his tone resumed its laziness. “Looking at Lu Shaochu’s hurried method, it’s unknown how happy he is deep inside that Fang Weiyun got into this mess. Her getting caught and dying means the position of Mrs. Lu is emptied and he can finally marry Iris and bring her home justifiably.”

“How can that be—”

Upon meeting Lu Shi’s gaze, a thought suddenly popped into his mind!

Fang Weishan’s hand holding the coffee cup trembled and the coffee spilled on the carpet, leaving dark stains.

His voice was unsteady. “You mean t-that—”

He didn’t dare say anything after that.

Lu Shi steadily picked up his cup of coffee and took a sip. He gazed at Fang Weishan with sharp eyes. “You’ve obviously guessed the truth but you dare not say it?”

Fang Weishan hurriedly put his coffee away, a thin layer of sweat already forming on his forehead.

He understood the meaning of Lu Shi’s words.
