Feed Me, Husband - Chapter 40

“Miss Gu, for the sake of work, I’ll be sharing a room with you. I hope you don’t mind.”

Inside the room, Xiang Kaixi pulled her suitcase open as she spoke, glancing at the single backpack Gu Xiaonuan had brought, letting out a cold laugh.

She really thinks she’s a natural beauty. Sharing a room-let’s see how she manages to find Lu Yichen.

After a simple rest at noon, the afternoon was scheduled for a museum visit. Although the building was modeled after a certain dynasty, the site itself was a historical location.

In the quiet exhibition hall, the guide explained the history. Everyone present worked in literature-related fields, listening attentively and earnestly.

Gu Xiaonuan walked at the very back, gazing at the historical documents and maps in the display cases. All that remained were traces-some light, some heavy-left by humanity in the long river of time.

The Old Man was already over 300 years old. Gu Xiaonuan calculated the time: Ji Xiangnan became a Vampire during ancient China, under the reign of that famous emperor.

The Old Man never spoke a word about his past, and she had never asked.

Three hundred years was nothing among the Vampire Clan. Ji Xiangnan had said that there were elder Vampires over a thousand years old, though she had never had the chance to meet one.

History, for humans, is a past to reminisce.

For the Vampire Clan, it is a painful scar they would rather not mention.

“What are you thinking about?”

Lu Yichen had appeared at her side without her noticing, standing with her before the glass display case. Their blurred reflections overlapped on the glass, shrouded in a hazy double image.

“Nothing,” Gu Xiaonuan murmured. The guide had already led the main group far ahead.

A cold hand grasped Lu Yichen’s. Gu Xiaonuan heard his low whisper, “Are you hungry?”

Hungry? She wasn’t. She had just fed yesterday, but still felt unsatisfied.

“No. Even if I were, I could endure it.” Gu Xiaonuan held his hand, feeling the warmth of his palm against hers.

“Will you come find me tonight?”

Lu Yichen let her hold his hand, a little frustrated by his own impatience. How could his little Vampire possibly figure things out so quickly?

Although Xiang Kaixi could help, too much assistance would make it meaningless.

“We’re outside, and it’s two people to a room,” Gu Xiaonuan looked up at him. The mist in Lu Yichen’s eyes began to surface again.

“I can’t sleep at all without you.”

Seeing that Gu Xiaonuan still didn’t agree, Lu Yichen sighed, “Alright, I’ll go buy sleeping pills later. It’s just two nights-I can manage.”

He wanted to take medicine, but it was best for him to keep his diet healthy and stay away from drugs.

“What’s your room number?”

Lu Yichen leaned in, “315. I have the room all to myself.” His thin lips brushed her earlobe. Gu Xiaonuan glared at him, “Got it.”

Night fell. Xiang Kaixi lay on the bed, scrolling through her phone and occasionally glancing at Gu Xiaonuan on the other side.

At 9 p.m., Lu Yichen declined the evening entertainment, and Gu Xiaonuan also said she didn’t want to join. Naturally, Xiang Kaixi followed them back.

She couldn’t help but yawn, her eyes struggling to stay open. It was only nine, yet she felt she couldn’t hold on much longer.

Gu Xiaonuan reclined on the bed, staring at her phone, reviewing Lu Yichen’s new manuscript.

After a few more yawns, Xiang Kaixi began nodding off, nearly dropping her phone before jolting awake.

No matter what, she had to stay up until Gu Xiaonuan fell asleep, then figure out a way to find Lu Yichen.

Half an hour later, Xiang Kaixi had fallen asleep against the soft cushion behind her.

Gu Xiaonuan reached out to turn off the lights in the room, silently got out of bed, and slipped out the door.

She took out the room card Lu Yichen had given her and swiped open the door to room 315.

In the darkness, as she stepped inside, a man’s arm reached out from within, wrapped around her waist, and pulled her in forcefully.
Click. The door closed behind the two of them.

Lu Yichen held Gu Xiaonuan in his arms, his thin lips finding hers, pressing down.

His hand lifted her waist, letting her whole body hang on him, while he leaned against the wall by the door and kissed her.

Her petite, cold body yielded obediently to the kiss. Gu Xiaonuan opened her eyes slightly; it seemed his mood had improved.

“Not angry anymore?”

Lu Yichen rested against her shoulder. “I’m not angry anymore. Even if you want other Vampires to bite me, I won’t be angry.”

Gu Xiaonuan was taken aback. So that’s what he was upset about?

“You wouldn’t even sit next to me in the car,” Lu Yichen muttered in a wounded tone. “Xiang Kaixi was so annoying, chattering the whole way.”

He carried Gu Xiaonuan to the bed, his eyes aggrieved as he looked at her. Leaning over, he laid her down on the bed, pressing his whole body atop hers.

“Are you really not hungry?”

At night, his voice struck Gu Xiaonuan’s heart like a jolt of electricity. His beautiful neck offered itself to her lips-if she wanted, she only had to bare her fangs to pierce it.

“This must be the room. The scent of this human… truly delightful.”

Outside the door, a man’s voice sounded. Gu Xiaonuan, lying on the bed, instantly sat up. With one arm, she scooped up Lu Yichen like a swift leopard, opened the window, and leapt out.

Wind rushed out from the room as, at the same time, the door was forcefully pushed open.

A pair of crimson eyes watched Gu Xiaonuan’s figure leap out the window.

“Claimed food?” The man’s fingers lightly brushed his exposed fangs. “That only makes me want to take a bite even more.”

Holding the man in her arms, Gu Xiaonuan landed on the ground and glanced at the brightly lit street nearby. From behind, a dark wind pursued.

They actually chased after us.

Gu Xiaonuan gritted her teeth silently. She couldn’t just carry Lu Yichen out in the open. Looking back at the hotel’s back garden, her figure vanished into the darkness.

“You’re really quite popular,” Gu Xiaonuan lowered her eyes to look at him. “You actually attracted a wandering member of the Vampire Clan here.”

“He came specifically for me?” Lu Yichen tightened his arms around her neck. Gu Xiaonuan hummed in response. After being fed on, a human is like a can that’s been opened.

Unless it’s discarded, no matter how tightly you seal it, the scent will always leak out.

Lu Yichen was clearly a top-tier can.

The hotel’s antique-style back garden was spacious, and at this hour, no guests would come here; none of the lights were on.

As the night wind swept in, the man in her arms hugged her even tighter.

Suddenly, Gu Xiaonuan stopped. Lu Yichen couldn’t help but look up at her. “Xiao Nuan?”

With a shudder, Gu Xiaonuan set him down, gripping his hand tightly.

Whoosh-!

A shadow darted after them, standing in front of Gu Xiaonuan.

Those crimson eyes fixed on her, the fangs in his mouth already bared in impatience. “You and I are both young Vampires. Share a bite with me; don’t be so possessive.”

Snap!

Her own fangs gleamed as Gu Xiaonuan’s blood-red eyes appeared.

“He’s mine.”

“I don’t have my own lair. If you won’t share, then I’ll just have to… take him!” The man’s eyes locked onto Lu Yichen, who stood behind, hidden in the shadows. “Your food is trembling madly with fear.”

“If you want to take him, then try me.”

Swish-!

The two Vampires leapt up on the spot, meeting in the darkness like two gusts of shadowy wind!

Standing there, Lu Yichen slowly lifted his head, his gaze almost merging with the night.

In his eyes, waves seemed to surge, whirlpools layer upon layer, his body trembling uncontrollably.

He is mine.

Lu Yichen’s breath quickened; this trembling was a shudder called joy.

Outwardly calm, inside he was already screaming hysterically.

I am yours. I will always, always be yours.
