Bloodline Survival Guide

When we left, the sky started to drizzle.

Shen Mingguang was standing in front of the car, waiting for Chen Zhen who had gone to the bathroom to come back.

The air is cool, there are mountains and lakes behind here, and the temperature is low at night, coupled with the drizzle all around and the quiet surroundings... Logically speaking, all of this shouldn't make him anxious, but he is still a little restless.

After thinking for a while, he went to the canteen next to the barbecue shop to buy a pack of cigarettes, then went back to the car, took out a cigarette and lit it on the fire.

When Chen Zhen came back, what he saw was Shen Mingguang leaning on the side of the car and lighting a cigarette.

Behind is the night, in front of him is the dim light, and the whole body is drizzled.He had a cigarette in his mouth, and held a fire in his palm...the fire illuminated his face very brightly.

Chen Zhen felt that he might be really drunk. Looking at this scene... the light and shadow are like a movie, and the people in the picture are more dazzling than the stars, even though they are just in an ordinary and unknown barbecue. in front of the store.

He felt dizzy as he walked past.

Standing in front of Shen Mingguang, the other party just lit a cigarette, asked him with a smile, and handed him the cigarette case: "Do you smoke?"

Chen Zhen watched him smoking.

He shook his head, didn't say whether he smoked or not, but said in a strange way, "I seem to be a little drunk."

"Drunk?" Shen Mingguang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you recognize me? Dizzy?"

"I can recognize it." Chen Zhen never admitted that he was talking drunk, it was sincere, "You are Shen Mingguang. Your name is very beautiful. I can't write Chinese characters well, but I have practiced writing many times at home. I like these three words."

Shen Mingguang paused the hand holding the cigarette.

They stared at each other.

Chen Zhen felt that gaze pierced his heart.

He was tense, aching, scared, and anticipating.

Shen Mingguang took another puff of cigarette in silence, his eyes were still looking at him—the eyes were the same as those that Chen Zhen saw in the abandoned factory that night under the moonlight... Dangerous, predatory, and charming.

He's stuck in it.

not talking?Maybe he is thinking about how to reject me?Chen Zhen thought, did I get carried away too much, and confessed so quickly in a haze.

Then the next second—Shen Mingguang spit out a puff of smoke—

Frivolously, it blew onto Chen Zhen's face.

Chen Zhen froze all over, even her fingertips were numb——

He doesn't know how to smoke, and he doesn't like the smell of cigarettes very much... This behavior is not very polite, and it's too cross the line, Chen Zhen is at a loss for being ambiguous.

Shen Mingguang's voice rang in Chen Zhen's ears, "Smell, it smells like mint, does it smell good?"

Chen Zhen was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "...that smells good."

The smell of smoke is bad, but Shen Mingguang smells good.

However, Shen Mingguang finished his order and didn't do anything else. Then he smoked quietly, leaving enough time for Chen Zhen to buffer.

Now... Chen Zhen didn't understand. He felt that Shen Mingguang seemed to like him, but he always hesitated, teasing and accepting... He also didn't know how to respond, and whether he would make a mistake. .

He didn't dare to be too proactive.

"Don't smoke after it smells good." Shen Mingguang said again, "You don't like smoking, I'll smoke this one in front of you, just this one, and I won't do it in the future."

...It's easy for me to misunderstand you when you say that. I don't like you so you don't smoke?

Chen Zhen: "... I don't like smoking..."

Shen Mingguang smiled: "I can see that you don't like it anymore, don't be shy...you don't have to be so careful with me, as if I am very fierce."

"If I'm not careful, I'm afraid you will..." Chen Zhen stopped talking halfway.

Shen Mingguang didn't ask any further questions. He glanced at Chen Zhen and then turned his eyes away.

When his face turned away, he quickly turned back and stretched out his hand, which was originally facing the direction of Chen Zhen's face, but when he was in mid-air, he changed the direction abruptly, and hesitantly switched to Chen Zhen's head.

Still biting his cigarette, he pulled a strand of hair on Chen Zhen's forehead, stroked it twice, and said vaguely: "It's curled up."

"……Oh, thanks."

Chen Zhen was still dizzy, he was thinking that he just looked in the mirror in the bathroom, his hair is not messed up, is it fake, just want to touch my head?

Afterwards, the two of them didn't speak any more, and Shen Mingguang just turned his head sideways to smoke, and didn't look at him again.

Chen Zhen just sniffed the smell of the smoke and his body distractedly... unexpectedly, he felt that Shen Mingguang's cigarettes were really not bad...

After he finished smoking a cigarette, the drizzle started to get bigger.

They stood in the rain, one smoking a cigarette and the other watching the other smoking, but neither of them said to change places.

Shen Mingguang asked him: "It's raining, are you afraid of getting caught in the rain?"

After speaking, he stepped into the car and handed the helmet to Chen Zhen.

This time Chen Zhen got into the car consciously and silently, and grabbed Shen Mingguang's clothes on both sides.

He whispered, "I'm not afraid, even if it rains heavily."

**

There was no heavy rain, and the rain stopped when we arrived in the city.

Shen Mingguang didn't ask Chen Zhen where he was going.At this time, Chen Zhen can no longer go back to school, and there is access control.

Shen Mingguang only said when he stopped in front of a red light, "Go to my house first, I have something for you."

"what?"

"You landed on a plane."

Chen Zhen didn't really care what it was, he said hello.After all, he wanted to go, and he really wanted to stay with Shen Mingguang for a while longer, to spend one more second with him, and he was very happy to smell his body.

He thought a lot along the way.

Maybe he is narcissistic, but he always feels that Shen Mingguang likes him... At the same time, Chen Zhen is also very scared.First of all, the other party is a human being, secondly he is a male, and thirdly his identity does not allow him to rashly decide on a partner.

This is the first time he has the emotion of "like". There is no one to share his like, and he has no outlet to confide in... After thinking about it, he always feels that it is better to just ask the person he likes what he thinks.

It couldn't be more appropriate today.We've only been together for so long, drank wine, drove fast, ate something, and flirted with each other vaguely. It felt like a good time.

Chen Zhen had already decided in her heart that she wanted to make it clear to Shen Mingguang that it was today, right now, without delay!

When he arrived at the community where Shen Mingguang lived, he parked the car in the parking lot, took off his helmet and said to Chen Zhen, "I'll go up and get my things and I'll take you back. I won't invite you up if it's late, and the family... …not very convenient."

It's really inconvenient. Chu Jun stayed in the guest room before, and the sheets were not changed. Chen Zhen can definitely smell the werewolf... There is also his diary on the table. If Chen Zhen takes a look at it, it will be over. .

Chen Zhen felt lost for a second, but still smiled and said, "Okay."

After Shen Mingguang left, Chen Zhen started to be in a daze, thinking about how to speak later.

Ask him: Did you tell me 'the moonlight is beautiful tonight' on purpose?Did you spray smoke in my face on purpose?You used to tease me seriously, right?Is it true that I am good-looking?Seriously, right?

...not quite right.

Or: You can also say that men are fine, so what do you think of me?

...to be determined.

Otherwise, just be more direct, just be explicit?Go touch his hand first, and then say you are so warm, but I am so cold...?

... a bit too much, too fucking.

He was worrying about how to say this, but in the next second, Chen Zhen's eyes dimmed——

All the lights in this underground parking lot went out in an instant.

The surrounding... was silent.There was no light at all, and it was too dark.

Chen Zhen felt a chill all over his body, and instantly his scalp froze in place with numbness.

He... is a vampire who is afraid of the dark.

This matter was very embarrassing, and he had been carefully concealing it. The only people who knew about it were Oran and Lilith.After all, this is a very unreasonable thing... Everyone who hears it will probably be surprised. The blood race is actually afraid of the dark. Is there something wrong?Are you worthy of being an angel in the dark night?

This problem seems to have started after Chen Zhen woke up from the ice coffin underground.The dark night is a place for other clansmen to revel, because they cannot walk freely in the sun, so the night has become the home of the blood clan.But Chen Zhen can't, he can't stay alone at night without lights and candles, other blood races can see things at night and live freely at night, but Chen Zhen can't.In total darkness, he loses his ability to control himself, becomes dizzy, trembles, breaks out in a cold sweat, and even feels suffocated.

Chen Zhen is the heir of the Great Elder, he must not be afraid of the dark, at least he must not let others know that he is afraid.So he has been careful to hide this weakness.Oran thought of many ways for him, and let Chen Zhen train for many years to overcome this fear.But the effect is not good, he can bear the night with some light now, but if it is the vast darkness in front of him at this moment, Chen Zhen will immediately start to be afraid reflexively.

"...Is anyone there?" he yelled in vain.

no answer.

Chen Zhen's senses also gradually moved away from his body, and he began to lose all the sounds that would be amplified in his ears...everything was moving away from his perception, leaving only the blackness around him, the pure blackness, the emptiness Black, soul-stirring black.

Chen Zhen touched the phone in his pocket with shaking hands.He began to feel sweat on his forehead... The phone didn't have a protective case, and his hands were sweaty, so he couldn't hold the phone, so he just took it out and it slid to the ground with a bang—

Panting heavily, he bent down to pick it up and touch it... But he didn't know where the phone fell, and he couldn't find it after touching it for a long time...

Chen Zhen felt a lot of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead... Today's symptoms are more serious.Originally, this place was so strange, and Chen Zhen felt very insecure, all of which deepened her fear.

Chen Zhen closed her eyes.He didn't bring his own bat out today, he planned to bite his fingertips to bleed out, let the smell out and see if there is any blood shadow nearby who can smell his smell... Whoever told him not to follow his subordinates is really asking for trouble eat.

When he put his index finger to his lips, he vaguely heard a rush of footsteps, and then a light appeared in front of him.

While trembling, Chen Zhen looked up——

Shen Mingguang is in the center of the light.

He turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, held the light, and shone on Chen Zhen's face.

Chen Zhen opened his eyes wide to look at him.One of them is standing and the other is squatting.

After a long while, Chen Zhen asked him in a low voice, "...I feel a little uncomfortable."

Shen Mingguang looked at him for a while, seemed to struggle a bit, then walked over a few steps, pinched Chen Zhen's wrist and pulled him up.

"The power is out..." Shen Mingguang said in a steady voice, "I'm sorry, I should take you up."

He stepped on something, moved his foot away and saw that it was Chen Zhen's cell phone.Shen Mingguang bent over to pick it up again, and stuffed it into Chen Zhen's cold hands.

This time, Chen Zhen's hands and feet were really weak and he couldn't help it. He tightly pulled Shen Mingguang's sleeve and took a deep breath.

There was some grievance in his voice unconsciously, "I'm not feeling well, I'm sorry."

Shen Mingguang's body froze for a while.He squeezed the phone tightly, closed his eyes, and then took Chen Zhen half-armed and led him away from the parking lot step by step.

Chen Zhen let go of Shen Mingguang's arm when he reached a brighter place.He apologized while pressing his own forehead, "I'm sorry, I was a little uncomfortable just now."

Shen Mingguang looked at him, frowning, looking irritable.

His tone was not very good, "Are you afraid of the dark? Why didn't you say it just now? I won't leave you there alone. The voltage in the parking lot area is unstable and often cuts off. Aren't you a blood race? You How could you be afraid of the dark? Why didn’t you tell me that you were afraid of the dark? Then what did you do when you walked at night by yourself, yourself..."

Shen Mingguang spoke faster and faster, and his tone was very anxious. After speaking, he probably realized that he had lost his composure, so he closed his mouth in annoyance, closed his eyes and sighed heavily.

Chen Zhen was dumbfounded by the words, "I... I'm either afraid of the dark, or maybe I feel a little uncomfortable after drinking, and I don't know why just now..."

"Chen Zhen, don't lie to me, you don't know how to lie." Shen Mingguang didn't know why he was angry, "Are you afraid of the dark? When did you start? Don't be embarrassed, tell me if you are afraid of the dark? "

"..." Chen Zhen avoided that look, and said reluctantly, "It's really not, I'm a blood race, how can I be afraid of the dark hahaha I'm really not afraid of the dark, don't think too much..."

Shen Mingguang stopped talking and just stared at Chen Zhen's blue eyes.

After I don't know how long it took, he said: "It's okay to tell me, I won't laugh at you, I just feel very incompetent."

Chen Zhen didn't know what he meant at all. There were too many things that happened today, and every combination was strange... Before he could answer, Shen Mingguang frowned and stuffed it into his hand. something cold.

He looked down and saw that it was a clean test tube, the one he left on the plane before.

Shen Mingguang seemed to be in a bad mood, he didn't know why he was angry, "I have something to do, I won't see you off, you can take a taxi back by yourself... Be careful, hold your phone, and turn up the brightness."

After speaking, he actually walked away by himself.

Chen Zhen looked at the back of the person who left in a hurry, but couldn't figure out what was going on for a long time.

He exposed his identity in front of that man.

Maybe even revealed the liking.

Now the weakness is exposed again.

What's next?
