God's Gift

The space around Lu Keming also began to distort, and the people around him disappeared one after another.

Just before being sucked into the distorted space, he stretched out his hand with all his strength and grabbed Yu Youyou tightly.

After a burst of noisy noise, Lu Keming fell into darkness.

There was moist and soft soil beneath him, and the fishy smell of the earth entered his nostrils. Lu Keming supported himself on the ground with his left hand, and looked at his empty right hand, feeling dizzy.

"Youyou..."

He was panting, his eyes searching anxiously in the darkness, and a broken voice squeezed out of his throat, tainted with a hint of barely perceptible panic.

"Pomelo!"

Lu Keming fumbled to his feet and kept calling Yu Youyou's name in the darkness.

But the darkness blinded him and blocked his vision.

He took a deep breath, and his hands gradually clenched, crushing the dirt that had accidentally stained his palms.

Dark brown scales pierced the skin and spread from the lower jaw. The thin joints twisted and elongated, and sharp and hard nails grew out from the fingertips.

The irises in Lu Keming's eyes turned golden, and everything he saw became clear again.

There was a rustling sound behind him, like feet stepping on soft soil, and someone was running towards him quickly.

Lu Keming moved his hands and turned around the moment the sound approached, and his hard and sharp nails pierced into the dark brown fur.

In an instant, blood splattered.

The rat whose heart was held screamed sharply and struggled violently, staring at Lu Keying with its black eyes, trying to control Lu Keying's consciousness.

Lu Keming was in a very bad mood and had no time to deal with the mouse's tricks.

He stared into the mouse's eyes expressionlessly, inserted his five fingers into the mouse's chest, and easily crushed its heart.

The mouse's black bean-like eyes were filled with fear, a broken breath came out of its throat, and its fat body collapsed.

A streak of scarlet fell on Lu Keming's cold white cheek, rolled down along the skin, slid across the tiny scales on his jaw, and dripped onto his black shirt.

Lu Keming pulled his hand away, threw the rat's body casually to the ground, and looked into the dark passage.

Under night vision, the narrow passage in front of me turned gray.

Lu Keming turned his head, looked at the other side of the passage, and clenched his knuckles.

He looked at the corpse of the huge rat on the ground, his eyes filled with undisguised hatred.

He had clearly held Yu Youyou's hand tightly, but now he was still lost.

Lu Keming stepped over the dead rat on the ground and walked to the other side of the passage.

There was no expression on his face anymore, his hair was hanging in disarray, and his mood was getting worse.

When he turned the corner, a figure rushed towards him.

Just as Lu Keming was about to raise his hand, he smelled a familiar scent. His movements suddenly stopped, and his attacking gesture turned into a hug. He steadily caught the soft body that jumped into his arms.

"Ke Ming!"

His heart was hanging in the air, and Lu Keming's body suddenly relaxed. He breathed in the warm air in his arms, and his cold expression softened.

He subconsciously wanted to hug Yu Youyou, but the stickiness on his fingertips stopped him. He looked at the blood on his hand with disgust, carefully moved his hand away, and instead supported Yu Youyou's body with one hand.

"Youyou, I almost thought we were separated."

Yu Youyou listened to Lu Keming's breathing which had not yet subsided, looked up at him, noticed the panic in his eyes that had not yet dissipated, and tilted her head.

After a few seconds, Yu Youyou blinked, took the initiative to hug Lu Keming, and said softly:

"It's okay. We just got separated when we fell."

"Don't be afraid, Mingming." She patted Lu Keming's back gently with her hands, just like her mother used to coax her. The sound was particularly clear in the darkness and silence, and gradually overlapped with Lu Keming's heartbeat.

"Even if we get separated, I will find you. You just need to wait for me obediently."

Lu Keming's eyes were a little dry, and he nodded in the darkness, "Okay."

"Then let's go find A-li and the others now." Yu Youyou's voice became cheerful. She loosened her arms, reached out to hold Lu Keming's hand, and noticed his hand hidden behind his back.

Yu Youyou stopped what she was doing, looked up at Lu Keming, and said in a clear voice: "What's wrong? Why can't you let me hold your hand? What are you hiding?"

There was sticky blood on the hands hidden behind his back, dripping onto the ground.

However, Lu Keming did not want to show Yu Youyou how dirty he was. If he had not mistakenly thought that he had been separated from her, he would never allow himself to appear in front of Yu Youyou like this.

So in response to Yu Youyou's questioning, Lu Keming remained motionless. He stood there stubbornly, not wanting to let the blood dirty Yu Youyou's eyes.

But Yu Youyou immediately noticed Lu Keming's embarrassment.

She tilted her head, put her hands behind her back, looked up behind Lu Keming, and soon found something sticky on his hands.

“Ah…oh…”

Yu Youyou put her hands behind her back and snorted meaningfully. It turned out that the smell of blood came from here.

"Lu...Ke...Ming..."

She opened her mouth slowly, and Lu Keming's name was infinitely stretched in her voice, tugging at Lu Keming's heart.

When Lu Keming was silent, he heard Yu Youyou's clear laughter.

"Are you going to take your heart out again?"

"Yes, it was from a mouse." Lu Keming lowered his eyes and spoke in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible. "I was just too nervous and didn't react for a while..."

That's why the mouse was killed in such a disgusting way.

"Okay." Yu Youyou answered nonchalantly, but when Lu Keming was off guard, she grabbed Lu Keming's hand.

This sudden action made Lu Keming stunned for a moment, but when he saw Yu Youyou holding his bloody hand, he subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back.

"Don't touch it, it's too dirty."

Yu Youyou held Lu Keming's hand tightly without giving him a chance to withdraw, and looked at Lu Keming in confusion.

"Where is it dirty?"
