Chapter 227 Smells so good, can I drink your blood? Eve & Zero 5
Zero looked into Eve's eyes, a look of relief on his face: "Didn't you want to ask me why I didn't make a move?"
"This blood is torture for me, but it is of great benefit to you. Since I no longer expect a solution, I will not let you take it."
My heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand.
Strange, even though vampires don't need to breathe, she seemed to be experiencing the feeling of suffocation.
There was no sound, so quiet that even the evening breeze dared not stir; everything seemed to have been paused.
Until Eve spoke, breaking the silence: "I understand."
"You mean, your life belongs to me from this moment on?"
"Yes."
There was no fear of impending death, but rather a sense of relief, as if he had been trapped for a long time and was finally about to be freed. Zero's smile even carried a hint of ease.
"Okay, then close your eyes."
Eve raised her hand to block his view.
Soon, the smell of blood spread.
But Zero did not feel any loss of blood.
He let go of Eve's hand.
The moment she opened her eyes, her heart raced, her thoughts churning, but she still couldn't make sense of the situation before her: "How did you know about the blood pact..."
Blood, like crimson threads, flowed continuously toward the blood pact.
Ime's lips visibly paled: "So this is what it feels like to be sucked blood."
"It hurts so much, can I have a hug?"
Before she could finish speaking, Imi collapsed into Zero's arms in pain.
Her hair was disheveled and she lay quietly in Zero's arms, like a shattered piece of jade, fragile and poignant.
“You…” Zero sighed, and as if afraid of hurting her, he held her very gently.
Her tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and Yi Mei said with pale lips, "It's as warm as I imagined. Can you hold me tighter? If you hold me tighter, it won't hurt anymore."
Zero pressed himself tightly against her, his Adam's apple bobbing, his throat dry as he struggled to speak:
"I've heard that the blood pact is a thousand times more painful than the curse. If I can't bear it, I..."
The rest of the words stuck in my throat.
Zero thought that if she really couldn't take it anymore, he probably wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it.
“I can endure it, I just never thought that dying would feel pain,” Eve murmured. “But seeing you again makes it all worthwhile.”
Eve raised her hand and gently touched Zero's eyes, nose, and lips with her fingertips.
"At that time, I was the only one left in this room, but I always felt like I could see your figure."
"Those who are busy in the courtyard, those who are enjoying tea under the moon, those who are reading inside the house... all disappear when I get close."
"I was feeling a bit upset and wanted to just leave."
"Stepping out the door, I remembered those few Xuan Shuang flowers in the yard that you painstakingly cultivated, which haven't grown well yet."
"The jade bone grass we picked together before is still drying."
"So I stayed and copied from your notes, and accidentally found the blood pact pattern in your notes..."
"Then, I left."
"Wandering around, stopping here and there, this world is so bustling, but I don't know why I always feel empty inside."
"Later, I met someone who looked a lot like you, especially his eyes, which were very similar to yours."
Eve curled her lip and said disdainfully, "But his eyes are full of greed and turbidity, and he doesn't look like you at all."
"But I still embraced him and turned him into a vampire. At least, at least I'll have someone like you who can stay with me forever..."
The pain came like waves, one wave higher than the next.
Eve's body involuntarily curled up, and her eyes slowly lost focus.
She took a deep breath and, with all her might, only managed to weakly grasp Zero's index finger:
"It hurts so much. Is this my punishment? So I have to endure this pain to see you again? Fine, at least I can still lie in your arms. I'm lucky."
……
Patches of sunlight streamed through the windows into the room, spreading warmly across the floor.
The shadows of the trees outside the window swayed gently in the breeze, casting dappled patterns.
On the bed, Eve closed her eyes, waved her hand impatiently in front of her eyes, and turned away from the sunlight.
Suddenly, she sprang up from the bed, pinched her face and arms in confusion, and got up to leave the room.
Zelo, who was tending to the Frostflower, turned around upon hearing the noise and said, "She's awake."
"Zero, you're still here!"
Eve rubbed her eyes in disbelief, then ran to him, both surprised and delighted, and threw herself into his arms.
“Where can I go if I’m not here?” Zero hugged her back.
"Stay here, you're not allowed to go anywhere else!" Eve held him tightly, not allowing him to leave.
She pressed her head against his chest, listening quietly to the beating of his heart.
Zero's hands, warm with familiar touch, gently stroked her hair, his fingertips tracing the soft strands.
After a long silence, she finally spoke, her voice as soft as a withered leaf gently blown by a breeze and slowly falling to the ground:
"So, is all of this real? I'm not dreaming, am I?"
……
---Tronos Side Story---
"Welcome home, masters!" The servants lined up neatly at the door, their expressions respectful and solemn.
Lin Shuwan smiled, took small steps closer to Tronos, and playfully poked his waist with her hand behind her back, saying:
"Isn't this a bit too much of a show? Are you sure you haven't come to the wrong place?"
"You didn't steal this from some unlucky guy again, did you?"
"And wasn't this a spur-of-the-moment decision? How did they know we were coming?"
Tronos gently cupped her wandering hands and pulled her into his arms. "With so many questions, which one should I answer first?"
"There are so many people watching, be careful." Lin Shuwan winked at Tronos.
“Take a closer look, they’re all puppets.” Tronos’s lips curved into a pleased smile as he casually toyed with Lin Shuwan’s fingers.
"puppet?"
Lin Shuwan confirmed it with her eyes; the smile she had put on to maintain appearances vanished instantly. She forcefully slapped Tronos's hand away and stepped out of his arms without a second thought.
"It hasn't been three days yet, don't get so close to me."
After the blood pact was successfully completed that day, Tronos completely tore off his cold exterior when facing Lin Shuwan.
At first, she was actually enjoying the period.
But lately he's become increasingly outrageous, keeping her out of the room for a whole week. Who could stand that!
Lin Shuwan was so angry that she wouldn't let him near her for three days.
As Nuanyu left his embrace, Tronos glanced at the group of useless puppets with annoyance.
But he still had to coax her; he lowered his head, his eyes filled with intoxicating tenderness.
"Ancestor, it's already the afternoon of the third day. Can't you make an exception?"
"No way!" Lin Shuwan walked straight into the manor without looking away.
Last time, the time before that, and the time before that, she was fooled by his "honey trap," but she won't fall for it again this time!
After walking a few steps, seeing that he hadn't followed, Lin Shuwan stood still angrily, turned around and said to him, "Aren't you going to catch up!"
