Feed Me, Husband - chapter 12

Chapter 12

Lu Yichen was helped out of the elevator by Gu Xiaonuan, his cheeks slightly flushed-thankfully concealed beneath his baseball cap-as he leaned heavily against her for support.

Once in the car, he slumped back, looking truly exhausted.

Gu Xiaonuan felt uneasy. Though he appeared thin and delicate, he was actually quite muscular and solid when she held him.

He wasn’t as fragile as he looked, but every time after feeding, he became so weak he could barely stand.

Had she taken too much this time…?

Gu Xiaonuan began to reflect. In the past, she had always drunk from blood bags, keeping the amount precisely measured. But now, feeding with her own teeth, she had no idea how much she had taken.

The more she thought about it, the more guilt she felt. The Old Man had never taught her how much was the right amount to take in one go.

“Do you want… to get something to eat?”

Gu Xiaonuan turned to look at Lu Yichen, curled up in the back seat, and heard his soft chuckle. “Sure, I am a bit hungry.”

“Alright, what would you like? Anything is fine.”

Her tone lifted considerably. Lu Yichen sat there and replied quietly, “Japanese food, maybe. It’s usually pretty quiet.”

Gu Xiaonuan had accumulated her own wealth-nowhere near as much as Ji Xiangnan, but enough to live comfortably in the human world.

At a high-end Japanese restaurant, a server led them to a private room. Lu Yichen took off his baseball cap, the flush on his face fading a little.

They sat across from each other, both looking down at their phones.

The server bringing the dishes was a cute young man who had already stolen more than a few glances at Gu Xiaonuan.

Gu Xiaonuan was completely absorbed in her phone and didn’t notice at all.

The young man had long, clean fingers and seemed quite shy, unable to hide his fondness for Gu Xiaonuan. “Hello, this is your…”

He placed the dish in front of Gu Xiaonuan, prompting her to finally murmur a quiet thank you.

“I-I’d like to introduce this to you, it’s new in the restaurant today…”

The young man gathered his courage, hoping to catch Gu Xiaonuan’s attention. Lu Yichen, sitting across from her, put down his phone and chuckled, “He’s trying so hard to introduce the dishes to you. Maybe put your phone down for a moment.”

Gu Xiaonuan responded with an “oh,” glancing at the table full of food. To her, it didn’t matter-everything tasted the same anyway.

The young man gave Lu Yichen a grateful look. Lu Yichen smiled at him, then returned to his phone.

“All your dishes are here. Please enjoy.”

Without receiving a response from Gu Xiaonuan, the young man walked out, a bit dejected. Lu Yichen looked at Gu Xiaonuan, who clearly had no intention of picking up her chopsticks, and smiled.

“Do you not like the food, or can’t you eat it?”

“I can eat, but it all tastes the same,” Gu Xiaonuan sighed softly. “You go ahead. I don’t feel like eating at all.”

Lu Yichen nodded. He moved his chopsticks, elegantly picking up a piece of glistening sashimi and gently placing it in his mouth.

“Miss Gu, would you like someone like that?”

“What?”

He picked up a shrimp, carefully peeling off the shell.

“I mean, the young man who just introduced the dishes-would he be your type, Miss Gu? I mean… when it comes to feeding preferences.”

Gu Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows, watching as Lu Yichen gently twisted off the shrimp’s head and pulled it away. The bright red shrimp paste inside, like blood, stained his fingertips.

“That’s hard to say. It depends on personal taste. But usually, the general consensus for what tastes best…” Gu Xiaonuan thought for a moment. “It’s someone who’s a virgin, and the younger the better.”

Lu Yichen smiled, peeling off the rest of the shell, his long fingers gliding over the shrimp’s back as if caressing a young girl’s slender waist.

“That’s not bad then. Miss Gu has already tried it.”

Gu Xiaonuan was taken aback, watching the man across from her eat the shrimp with elegant composure, his eyes fixed on her as he took a bite.
It was as if what he was eating was not shrimp, but her.

“You’re not wrong. Twenty years ago, you were still a child.” Gu Xiaonuan tugged at the corner of her mouth. Mentioning twenty years ago always made her feel a little heavy-hearted.

“No, I meant both.”

Gu Xiaonuan frowned. “Other than you, I’ve never bitten anyone else, let alone anything about virginity…”

The man’s fair cheeks flushed slightly. His fingers, stained with bright red shrimp sauce, were gently placed into his mouth, his tongue licking them clean.

“I can’t be?”

“Y-yes, you can.” Gu Xiaonuan averted her gaze awkwardly. For a human, Lu Yichen was inexperienced, which was honestly a bit surprising.

With his conditions, how could there not have been women throwing themselves at him?

“Miss Gu, you just said you’ve only ever bitten me. Is that true?”

“…Yes, is that a problem?” Gu Xiaonuan sighed. If he hadn’t reappeared, she would have spent the next decades clutching blood bags.

Lu Yichen’s cheeks reddened further. For some reason, the shrimp shell in his hand lightly scratched his finger, breaking the skin.

A bit of red oozed out-just a little-but it made Gu Xiaonuan swallow awkwardly.

Outside the door, someone was whispering.

Lu Yichen looked up, watching Gu Xiaonuan swallow, and offered his finger. Gu Xiaonuan froze. Here?

“It’s fine. No one will see.”

Outside, the young man from earlier, urged by his companions, blushed as he prepared to open the cubicle door.

His blood was the most fatal temptation for Gu Xiaonuan.

Her eyes reddened slightly as her lips pressed to the wound.

Lu Yichen watched her cautious movements with a smile and spoke softly, “Don’t worry about hurting me. You can be rougher.”

“But you…!”

As if knowing what she was worried about, Lu Yichen smiled gently, listening to the sounds outside the door, and said in a low voice, “I’ve already been fed. Now… it’s my turn to feed you.”

The hand at the door trembled violently. The young man, face flushed, quickly walked away in embarrassment.

It was only a few gentle licks, and the wound had already stopped bleeding.

Lu Yichen watched her beautiful brows furrow and her pink tongue stick out, his gaze darkening instantly. “Does it not taste good?”

“No, it’s these that don’t taste good.”

Gu Xiaonuan pointed at the delicious dishes on the table. “Your finger had some on it earlier. I couldn’t taste anything.”

Lu Yichen chuckled and stood up. “I’m full. Let’s go.”

“Did you really eat so little? Is it enough?”

Gu Xiaonuan was puzzled. He was a man, after all. How could he eat even less than the women she’d seen?

“It’s enough.” Lu Yichen opened the door and strode out.

If he didn’t leave now, he didn’t know what he might end up doing.

“Take care on your way!”

With that, the young man who had served them earlier stood at the door, his face still flushed.

As Gu Xiaonuan walked out, she turned her head slightly for a glance.

The young man seemed to want to say something, but Lu Yichen approached. His tall, lean figure, at that moment, felt as imposing as a mountain.

With a sweep of his dark eyes, the young man’s blush vanished, and he even took a step back.

Even after Gu Xiaonuan and Lu Yichen had walked far away, the young man still hadn’t recovered.

“Wow, her boyfriend looks so shy and gentle, but why is he so sexy?”

“Yeah, what were they saying in that room just now? So bold.”

“Maybe that’s what they mean by ‘puppy in public, wolf in private’?”

Listening to his colleagues’ teasing, the young man walked into the restroom, face pale. He clenched his fists tightly, still unable to stop trembling.
