Chapter 102 - The Institute (43)

Tang's Shun transformation was bloody, the frequent shedding of old skin in place of hardened and cold flesh, would leave places of his body cracked and marred like the edges of a broken glass. Although the wounds quickly healed, the lingering smell of blood seemed to be permanently attached to his body, seeping into his bones and intertwining with Tang Shun's familiar bitter charcoal scent.

In a sense it reminded Chao Bin of a bloody winter.

He couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with him, whenever he was around it was time for Tang Shun's alienation, Chao Bin was filled with a kind of thirst. He tried to hide it, mainly because he couldn't tell what it was and subconsciously he didn't want to show such an embarrassed posture in front of the others.

He had no appetite, his throat was constantly dry– barely quenchable by water, and there was a aching burning sensation in his stomach that left him feeling as if there were millions of tiny needles drilling into his skin and slowly injecting each and every nerve ending in his body with a fiery venom!

But there was also another problem that left him baffled..

Chao Bin's eyes fell on Tang Shun's body and in the end, he couldn't move away, the dry itching in his throat brought a tingling sensation, his blood flow accelerated, and his body was rapidly rising in temperature.

It's different from before.

Tang Shun sat next to him, the hostility and sharpness between his eyebrows slowly faded along with the new bout of shedding, he sat quietly on the narrow bed with pursed lips. His figure was thin, his back was straight, and even his sitting posture was pretty standard. Straight and sophisticated, no sign of just having gone through agonizing pain, besides the glimmering sheen of sweat shining faintly on his forehead and his broken and chapped lips. The right hand placed gently on his knee was beautiful, the blood vessels under the skin glowed blue under the cold gloomy light of the dark room. Despite them being unable to see, the gradually encroaching darkness signaled to them that it was almost sundown. 

A tantalizing smell wafted into his nose from the other side, the itching in his throat only growing stronger and stronger, the wound on Tang's Shun left arm had stopped bleeding and was now covered by the sleeve of the shirt, invisible, slowly healing, it's a pity—

The repeated cycle of shedding and weakness bright greater inconvenience, Tang Shun smelled the faint scent of blood, and the two points of disgust in his eyes only grew deeper.

Noticing the burning stare glaring fresh holes into his body, Tang Shun looked up–

Chao Bin only felt as if a cats paw was lightly scratching at his heart, the tantalizing smell penetrated into his nose, his already racing heart grew rapid, his throat became dry and itchy once more, and even his breathing became faintly short.

So thirsty...

Why was he so thirsty...

Chao Bin became more confused, instinctively looking for the smell that had been haunting him for so long. He was sitting next to Tang Shun, a wide and open distance between the two, at this moment, Chao Bin turned sideways, stood up and approached Tang Shun, his voice was nasal and hoarse, the drifting eyes made it obvious he was not sober and as he stood over a questioning Tang Shun, there was a pool of amber light in his eyes as he spoke dumbly at Tang Shun, "What is so delicious on you? It smells so good."

Chu Yu's head was dizzy, and his body was burning like a fire, making him very irritable and uncomfortable inside and out, even at the air felt stiff and scalding, as if what he was breathing in wasn't oxygen but liquid fire pooling in his heart!

It was a familiar feeling.

Just like a full package, his throat became dry and itchy, his heartbeat starts to accelerate, and the blood vessels in his forehead suddenly burst from tension, his body feeling as if it would explode in the next second.

All because of that smell,

He wanted to eat....he wanted to eat him...

The familiar feeling of heat permeated his whole body, no, it was even hotter than yesterday, giving him the illusion that he could be cooked on the spot in the next second!

Tang Shun looked up at the faintly panting boy above him and exchanged glances with the casually watching Chu Yi,

It didn't take much to think of the answer.

This was caused by the effects of his alienation.

"What smell are you talking about...."

Chao Bin paused for a moment, then as if being pulled from a dream, he abruptly snapped back to reality losing the trance-like haze in his eyes. Embarrassment flushed his face and without looking at the others again, he jumped back from Tang Shun and buried his face in the sheets, ignoring the disgust and through a muffled voice, they could only vaguely hear him say "Nothing."

Tang Shun raised a brow but before he could speak, there was a harsh bang as the metal sheets were once again dropped onto the floors before the ward doors.

Tang Shun looked back at Chao Bin deeply and eventually decided to leave it be, the silver glasses were gently taken off his face and with a flick of his wrists they disappeared, fully revealing the ominously split pupils of a poisonous snake. 

His pupils sharply dilated as they stared darkly at the huddled figure in the bed opposite, fingers twisting softly, Tang Shun ignored the primal pangs appearing in his hearts and closed his eyes, faintly counting down the time in his heart, 

The room quickly became silent, Chu Yi watched the reactions of the two playfully, faintly curling his lips and looked away, he turned his back to the rest and slowly settled his heartbeat.

Sleep came naturally and soon enough only the sound of steady breathing was left in the room.

In the middle of the night, there was a hoarse groan in the room that abruptly shattered the silence– as if he had been waiting, Tang Shun's eyes almost immediately snapped open and his head turned quickly to Chao Bin's side,

He was curled up in the bed, lying on his side, with his right hand holding the corner of his pillow, sleeping in a very insecure position.

The soft, light brown hair fell against his forehead naturally, covering the twisted eyebrows, and was gently moved by the heavy gasps. Chao Bin didn't sleep well- sweat dripping from his nose and he seemed to feel too hot, when he turned over restlessly, the sheet that covered was thrown away to the floor.

Tang Shun stared at the gaping lips faintly, then without warning he stood up, and walked over to the bed.

Chao Bin seemed to feel his presence and slowly opened his eyes.

However, Tang Shun could tell that he was not awake yet, his pupils were lost and unfocused, covered in a thin layer of clear mist, only the rapid breathing from his mouth seemed to get heavier and more excited the closer he got.

As Chao Bin's eyes gradually focused, the first thing he saw was a wrist stretched out in front of his eyes, and under that cold white skin were blue blood vessels.

Primal hunger instantly erupted into a burning fire in his throat. The faint, alluring fragrance seemed to linger on the tip of his nose and a want spread like wild fire in his body–

Tang Shun bent over and grabbed the sheet, ready to help Chao Bin cover it and then continue observing, but his body had only shifted for a moment when his wrist was suddenly caught by a strong force, the abruptness caused him to be unable react immediately and before he could break free his vision suddenly turned upside down, and when he came back to his senses, Tang Shun was already lying on his back on the rusty bed, and a dazed Chao Bin had now sat down on his lap with his hands tightly locked around his wrists, staring at him greedily from top to bottom–

The air instantly sunk,

The restrained state unexpectedly didn't make Tang Shun displeased, there was even a faint expectation brewing in his heart as he waited to see what he would do next–

Before that, loud pants appeared from atop him and when he looked back at Chao Bin, he found that the opponent was even more short of breath than he was before, his eyes were out of focus, and he seemed to be....on the verge of tears.

Frowning his eyebrows, Tang Shun just wanted to break away from Chao Bin's control when he noticed that the person pressing on him suddenly leaned over and licked the wound at the corner of his lips with a moist and soft tongue, looking obsessed.

Tang Shun paused unexpectedly, and for the first time, his mind went blank–

The other party pressed him, licked and sucked urgently on the broken wound at the corner of his lips, fascinated and greedily sucked the spilled blood, his eyes were filled with burning hunger, and the overflowing breath from Chao Bins mouth seemed to have the sweet smell of oranges as well as the metallic scent of blood!

His blood.

Tang Shun fingers faintly shook, a false sense of psychological euphoria flooded his mind, even such filthy blood as his could be craved, eyes darkened to a dangerous pitch black and with gentle force, he grasped the back of Chao Bin's neck and pulled him away from his mouth, wet strings of saliva following their parted lips.

Almost instantly, pitiful groans were drawn from petals wet with an obscene red sheen, like a whining puppy that had its favorite food taken away from it, a sheen of dewy mist appeared in those amber pools and Chao Bin struggled to free himself from Tang Shun's, wanting to once again taste the delicious liquid that sent his blood boiling into a frenzy–

Tang Shun looked at him deeply, a slowly festering emotion rising like a gloomy tide in the bottom of his eyes, the pitiful whines and moans grew louder, the owner of the voice unaware of the malignant danger brewing in front of him.

The hands that grasped his hand slowly tightened, then as if making a decision, neurotic laughter burst from his throat, pupils dilating into gloomy slits, only he himself would know what had amused him so.

As if he couldn't feel any pain, Tang Shun held his eyebrows motionless, and swiped the tip of his index finger from the edge of the beds sharp and rusty railing. In an instant, a small cut was sliced into his flesh, and the dark crimson blood instantly spilled out, glowing like a red moon in the ubiquitous darkness.

The thick eyelashes quivered slightly, and Chao Bin slowly stopped struggling, his focus completely enamored on the blood bead,

"smells good…"

Chu Yu's Adam's apple moved up and down.

Tang Shun slowly fingered his neck, "What's so fragrant?"

"I don't know..." Chao Bin's voice is different from the usual youthful voice, a little hoarse, sounding with a little grievance, "I'm so hungry...so thirsty..."

Tang Shun continued to tease him, "Do you like this fragrance?"

Chu Yu nodded, the only thing in his dazed mind was that smell, unable to restrain himself, he began to try to find the source again, 

Tang Shun wasn't merciful, like teasing a cat woth treats, his thumb suddenly pressed hard against his finger and pressed the small blood bead from the tip of his index finger back,

The blood stopped.

Chao Bin was at a loss for a while, wrinkled his nose, and seemed to want to start crying, it hurt so much–

He was so thirsty....

He wanted to eat.... to eat...

Tang Shun carefully observed his subtle expression, then grinned strangely,

Raising a slender hand, Tang Shun bent his knuckles and slowly unbuttoned the top button of the white shirt he wore, followed by the second, third, and fourth button until the cold white skin and deep clavicle were exposed to the shadows,

As if luring a stray cat, he squeezed two drops of blood from his fingertips onto his shoulders.

The sharp contrast between the scarlet blood and the white tone was almost evil.

"Are you hungry?"

His voice is a bit more muffled than usual, completely losing the gentleness and refinement during the day,

"Hungry."

Tang Shun leaned back on the walls in a relaxed posture. He stretched his neck, revealing the tight lines of his neck, and released his grasp "Then come here."

As if he was granted amnesty, Chao Bin hurriedly pounced onto his body, and after breathing in deeply the sweet smell of blood, with one hand on the side of Tang Shun's neck, he lowered his head, and placed his lips and teeth close to Tang Shun's skin, his lips pressed against the opponent's broad shoulders, the tip of his tongue stuck out, and he licked all the scarlet blood on the surface of his skin, 

Everything else was completely forgotten,

Not enough...

Still not enough.....

"Are you still hungry–"

"Hungry..."

Greedy gasps spilled from parted lips,

"Then deeper–"

Tang Shun chuckled darkly, raised his hand, rubbed Chao Bin's soft hair as if soothing him, and then pressed his head down forcefully! 

With this undeniable strength, Chao Bin instinctively broke the skin under his lips with his teeth!

At the same time the blood overflowed, both of them breathed heavily, the feeling was almost orgasmic.

Sweet blood flowed through the lips and teeth, and flowed down the parched throat. A huge sense of satisfaction and joy, mixed with the excitement and pleasure in his body from finally soothing the unbearable thirst, made Chao Bin moan, the indescribable joy flowed though his nerves and suddenly rushed to the top of the head!

For a moment, Chao Bin whimpered, his hands gripped the collar around the neck, and vaguely shouted, "Tang Shun..."

He moved his hand down Chao Bin's hair, his palm touched the back of his neck, as if a shackle had been placed there and softly soothed, his voice was hoarse, "Well, I'm here."

He indulged in the pleasure of being craved.
