Did you eat a famous detective today? [Zhongyingmei]

After hearing Sherlock repeat the last sentence she said, Darian felt an indescribable complex emotion settled in her heart.

Although reason told her that she couldn't see anything strange (he still had that memory) from Sherlock's tone, but the man's words changed as soon as they fell into her ears.

She has every reason to suspect that this is a trick!

She lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, and pondered for a while, and when she suddenly raised her head, she realized that the person was very close at hand—not only that, but even a little closer than before.

Sherlock blinked slowly, "I haven't finished yet, why are you so flustered."

"I didn't. I was just afraid that you might say something strange." Dalyan replied.However, her eyes were too restless, always looking around, and did not always fall steadily on him as the detective expected.

"Forget it," he seemed to have no intention of getting entangled in this topic any more, but a rare and almost naive expression appeared on his face, "—let's start?"

In fact, after the conversation just now, the detective had already acquiesced that the girl in front of her was in a state of consent, so before Dalyan could react, she fell into a warm embrace.

Sherlock never likes to procrastinate, his actions always come with decisions.Without the slightest hesitation, he bent slightly and hugged the girl tightly in his arms, just like what he did when he was a child with his favorite toy.

Dalyan's brain froze, her body was extremely stiff, and she didn't even know where to put her hands, so she had to hang by her side for the time being.Her whole face was pressed against the other's flat collarbone, and there was no room for her to retreat even a little bit.

It's a good thing it's not summer yet—she thought.

Even through the cloth, the yearning heat is still so obvious.

She had almost forgotten what warmth felt like.Vampires are neither humans nor gods, but more like creatures cast aside by the world forever in the dark abyss.

The tall man lowered his head and buried his head on her neck, the skin there was soft and delicate, just like when we first met a few days ago, the gentle taste has not changed at all.

Sherlock found that the light deodorant relieved the skin-hungry symptoms he suffered from—and, for whatever reason, he would clamp his ass like a lynx Prey do not let go.

Dalyan didn't expect Sherlock's action to be so fast. She originally thought that this so-called hug would not be really put on the agenda until tomorrow at least, but she didn't expect...

Failed.

But now, the other's warm breath hit her skin, making her shiver.

But in Sherlock's eyes, she seemed to be a piece of fragile glass, and the former hadn't found the right strength to hug her in his opinion-so he eased up, and then tightened up again for some reason.

Dalyan tried her best not to distract too much attention from Sherlock, but it was understandable that Sherlock's gesture of intimacy also reassured her.

In order not to let Sherlock notice anything, Darien tilted her head—trying to keep her breath from falling on the other person so that it would not be so obvious, if...she really has breath.

The blood race has no heartbeat and breathing, but when necessary, they can use their supernatural powers to fake a temporary heartbeat and breathing to paralyze others.

Darian is doing the same at this moment - she doesn't want Sherlock to know that she is a vampire.Besides, everything will end.According to Sherlock, he will only stay in New York for three months at most before returning to England.

Probably less than three months if you add the limited time the two of them rented together.

In other words, as long as this period of time is over, Daryan can disappear from his life again, just like ten years ago.

Unexpectedly, she caught something out of the corner of her eye.

wait, that wouldn't be...

Even in a dimly lit room, the vampire's eyesight was fairly good, so she could glimpse a faint tooth mark on the other side of Sherlock's neck.

Because he had already healed, and he usually kept a proper distance from others, no one seemed to have noticed this.But... the wound seemed to be really deep in the past, so even at such an intimate distance, a little trace could be seen.

What that was, Darian knew all too well.

"You, why is there a mark like a tooth mark on your neck?" Dalyan's voice was a little trembling, she tried to overcome her sudden sense of shame, and asked calmly—at least on the surface.

The man lying on her tender neck didn't answer for a while, and he was silent for a while, before Dalyan felt the weight on her shoulders suddenly lighten.

Sherlock gave up the action just now, he seemed to think carefully, "Hmm..." He inadvertently elongated his tone, and the girl's mood became more and more tense with his tone.

"I don't know either." Sherlock frowned subtly, "Maybe he was bitten by a dog before."

The sense of shame that Dalyan spewed out of nowhere suddenly disappeared, replaced by a subtle emotion that couldn't be more subtle——

dog? ? ? ? ? ?

This faint tooth mark was clearly left by her.

Every vampire transformed from a human must suck human blood for the first time, otherwise it will be wiped out. *

Darian swears, she definitely didn't mean to.

At that time, she couldn't control her desire, so she was merciless with her mouth.

"What?" Sherlock asked.

Dalyan let out an ah, and raised her head reflexively.

"What new insights do you have about my tooth marks?"

If it's just like this, it's fine, Sherlock just happened to lower his head slightly, seeing that the other's thin lips were about to brush her forehead, Dalyan had no other choice, so he had to stretch out his hand to cover it in desperation. shut his mouth.

The soft thin lips brushed Daryan's palm, making her feel a little itchy.

Even though she had used her abilities to forge a temporary heartbeat and breathing, her body temperature was still unimaginably cold, so Sherlock's cool lips seemed even warmer at this moment.

Dalyan quickly opened the distance between the two parties, feeling that neither advancing nor retreating.

The other party's eyes that always cast a sharp gaze, whether it was her illusion, unexpectedly softened inexplicably at this moment.

To be honest, Sherlock doesn't quite understand the occasional violent reactions Daryan displays.

At this moment, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

power cut.

After losing the continuous effect of the electric light, the whole room was completely dark.

The hesitant expression on Dalyan's face was also covered by the darkness. Before Sherlock could move, Dalyan immediately took his hand back.

"I, I'm leaving first!" She was at a loss, and she overthrew all the words after brewing in her mind for a long time, and finally choked out such a sentence.

Before she finished speaking, she ran back to her room as if fleeing, and closed the door heavily.

Standing in the dark, Sherlock stared at the closed door thoughtfully, and finally thought of something, and touched the corner of his own dry lips with his dry fingertips.

In the middle of the night, Dalyan tossed and turned countless times before finally sitting up resignedly.

She hadn't drawn the curtains, so she caught a glimpse of the moon, which had been hidden among the thick clouds, looking broken and pale—like herself.

Vampires don't need to sleep, their existence itself cannot be explained by common sense.

If it was any night when she was alone before, she wouldn't pretend that she needed to sleep when she didn't have any sleepiness, but would pick up the plan and write it out, determined to become a career leader or something.

Only, this night was obviously special.

It was obvious that Darian had overestimated her desire to eat.

The vampire's hearing was also quite keen, and at this moment, the house was silent except for the subtle noises she made.

Sherlock has none of her insomnia troubles, and as a (potential) patient, he drifted off contentedly to sleep after his first physical therapy session of the day (?).

Damn.

People are more popular than dead people.

The breath and heartbeat that the girl deliberately faked a few hours ago disappeared immediately after she fled back to the room where she was in a little embarrassment.

No matter how clever the disguise is, there will always be flaws.

This technique needs to mobilize the power of blood, so after a moment of use, the body's desire for fresh blood will become stronger.Dalyan feels that her body is like a bottomless pit that can never be satisfied, and the desire to suppress it will become more and more obvious as time goes by.

too difficult.

After thinking about it, Dalyan decided to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything good to fill her stomach temporarily.

Dalyan stepped on the soft carpet with her bare feet, so she didn't make any extra sounds, but, as the door was opened, the unique sound of opening the door was still somewhat harsh in the silent night.

But everything was under Darian's control, she didn't believe that the detective would sleepwalk in the middle of the night.

Darian tiptoed to the refrigerator.Said it was a power outage, but it didn't last long.A few hours later, and now, the power has been fully restored.

As soon as she opened the refrigerator, the cold white light from the refrigerator light shone on her face.

Opening the ordinary frozen layer on top, Dalyan was extremely thankful that she bought some small tomatoes when she went to the supermarket.

Perhaps because vampires are a blood-eating species, they develop some instinctive love for the color red.

Dalyan naturally did not escape this natural law.

Seeing something red puts her in a good mood.

Dalyan took a few small tomatoes. Although it is said that eating human food can't really relieve hunger, but... it's okay for now.

If there is any kind of tragic competition between vampires, the champion must be her Darien Hoyle.

After thinking about it, she opened the refrigerator below again.

The rum-flavored ice cream tastes sweet and tastes like wine.

That's right - Dalyan briefly evaluated the snacks she bought in her heart, the whole vampire's attention was devoted to the snacks, and she didn't notice anything strange around her at all.
