Chapter 49: appetite

"Sake, your face is so red." Yin Xun was surprised when he saw Lu Sake shucked in the bedding, "Are you having a fever?"
Lu Qingjiu's head was a little heavy, and he couldn't understand what Yin Xun was saying for a while, but just stared at Yin Xun blankly with his eyes open.
Seeing Lu Qingjiu's appearance, Yin Xun knew that he must be ill, and hurriedly said, "I'll get a thermometer, you can wait a while." Then he ran to the living room where the medicine box was placed.
Bai Yuehu put his hand on Lu Qingjiu's forehead. The cold temperature of his hand made Lu Qingjiu want to stick closer, so he naturally rubbed his forehead against the back of Bai Yuehu's hand. .
With Lu Sake's movements, the white moon fox gently pressed his hand on Lu Sake's flushed cheeks, feeling the scorching temperature on Lu Sake's skin. Ordinary human beings are really fragile, and low temperature can cause problems in their bodies. The White Moon Fox looked at Lu Qingjiu quietly, his eyes falling on Lu Qingjiu's neck. The neck has always been the most fragile body part of human beings. As long as you bite it down gently, you can hear a crackling sound, and the person in front of you will completely belong to him. From then on, you don’t need to worry about losing yourself for other boring reasons. he……
When Yin Xun came in with the thermometer, he saw Bai Yuehu licking Lu Qingjiu's lips, and his black eyes were tinged with a faint red color. Although he couldn't see clearly, it was enough to make people fearful.
Yin Xun felt shocked when he saw this, and shouted loudly, "Lu Qingjiu!"
Bai Yuehu turned his head, as if Yin Xun's scream had pulled out of a certain state, the red in his eyes began to fade quickly, returning to the blackness of the past.
"I've brought it here." Yin Xun pretended not to see the strangeness of Baiyue Fox, walked straight to Lu Qingjiu's, and put the thermometer into Lu Qingjiu's mouth, "You hold it first."
Lu Qingjiu was confused and completely unaware of what happened. He obediently held the thermometer and muttered, "Am I having a fever?"
Yin Xun said, "It should be." He scratched his head, "Seriously, I haven't been sick for a long time..."
Lu Qingjiu was also a little helpless: "Yes, I am an ordinary person here."
After the body temperature was measured, it was thirty-nine degrees, and it really was a fever. Fortunately, when preparing winter supplies, Lu Qingjiu prepared a lot of commonly used medicines to avoid accidents. According to Lu Qingjiu's instructions, Yin Xun took medicine and fed Lu Qingjiu, while Bai Yuehu prepared a few ice towels for Lu Qingjiu to apply cold compresses on his forehead.
"Hey, how come I suddenly fell ill." Lu Qingjiu shrank sickly on the head of the bed with a nasal voice in his voice, "I haven't had a fever for a long time."
"Is it too tired?" Yin Xun said, "Is it because you accidentally touched the melted snow?"
Lu Qingjiu shook his head and signaled that he didn't know that sickness had always come suddenly. If he knew the specific reason, he might not be sick.
He felt cold at first, but the kang felt a little too hot after it burned up. He wanted to uncover the quilt on his body, but was stopped by Yin Xun. Yin Xun said anxiously, "Farewell, you cover first. Cover sweat, colds will be more serious."
Lu Qingjiu was a little uncomfortable: "But it's so hot..."
Yin Xun persuaded him: "Let's bear it."
When the two talked, Bai Yuehu had been sitting quietly next to him. He was obviously not very good at human sickness, and he seemed to be at a loss.
Lu Qingjiu just woke up and slept intermittently. When he felt better, the sky was completely dark. Yin Xun asked Bai Yuehu to go to the kitchen to pour Lu Qingjiu a glass of water, and he gently gave Lu Qingjiu a glass of water. Push awake.
"Huh?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
"I want to go home to renew the scented candle." Yin Xun said in a trembled voice, "I can come here tomorrow."
Lu Qingjiu felt the unusual meaning of Yin Xun's words: "...what's wrong?"
Yin Xun said with a serious expression: "Sake, I will go later. When you and Bai Yuehu are alone, don't fall asleep, try to stay awake."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Ah? Why?"
Yin Xun said, "He likes you so much."
When Lu Qingjiu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but still did not understand why Yin Xun suddenly said, "What?"
Yin Xun said, "Don’t you know, they have a habit of swallowing everything they like in their stomachs. You didn’t see the way he looked at you when I entered the door just now. Swallow it." Although what he said was unbelievable, Yin Xun's serious expression was telling Lu Qingjiu that he was really not joking.
Lu Qingjiu said, "I...I know, you go."
"Try not to fall asleep." Yin Xun was a little anxious, "It should be fine after enduring this night!"
Lu Qingjiu nodded, as if he had responded to Yin Xun's request.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Baiyue Fox entered the house with a water glass. He fed the water to Lu Qingjiu's mouth and watched him drink it little by little.
Yin Xun said, "Then...I'll leave first, see you tomorrow morning."
"Yeah." After Lu Qingjiu drank the water, he felt a little more comfortable. "See you in the morning, pay attention to safety."
Yin Xun waved his hand, turned and left, but his eyes were telling Lu Qingjiu when he left that he was still worried that Bai Yuehu would do anything irreversible.
Yin Xun, who talked the most, left, and the room became quiet. Lu Qingjiu leaned against the bed. Because of his illness, his face was paler than usual, but his lips were rosy and bright, and he looked extra delicious.
Lu Qingjiu was uncomfortable being stared at by Baiyuehu. He found a topic and wanted to distract Baiyuehu's attention: "What do you eat at night?"
Bai Yuehu said, "I didn't eat it."
Lu Qingjiu was taken aback: "Why didn't you eat it? Didn't I make chicken soup?"
Bai Yuehu said, "I'm not hungry."
Lu Qingjiu thought that since he was not hungry, don't look at me like that, as if he was about to swallow me in one bite. He thought of what Yin Xun said just now. It seems that Yin Xun is not exaggerated at all. If one doesn't get it right, the white moon fox might really eat him.
Lu Qingjiu was aware of this potential danger, but miraculously, he was not too scared, but found it a bit funny.
Lu Qingjiu said, "What should I do if I am a little hungry?"
Baiyue Fox frowned: "I'll bring you some chicken soup."
Lu Qingjiu said, "You can make me rice with chicken soup and pickles and put it in."
Bai Yuehu nodded, got up swiftly, and brought back what Lu Qingjiu wanted. The chicken soup is warm, with soft rice soaked in it, and a layer of emerald green onion sprinkled on it. In the small bowl next to it, there are neatly cut pickles. It can be seen that the white moon fox has used his mind. .
Lu Qingjiu took the bowl, scooped up the food with a spoon, and slowly delivered it into his mouth. The soft and delicious taste of chicken soup calmed his hungry stomach, the pickles were crisp and refreshing, and he was drizzled with Lu Qingjiu’s favorite spicy oil. After eating for a while, a little sweat appeared on the tip of my nose, and I felt better.
"Are you really hungry?" After Lu Qingjiu finished eating, he put down the bowl.
White Moon Fox shook his head.
Lu Qingjiu said, "Are you really hungry?"
Bai Yuehu said, "I'm not hungry."
Lu Qingjiu blinked. In fact, he didn't really believe that Baiyue Fox said that he was not hungry. After all, Baiyue Fox ate a lot at every meal, but maybe because he ate too much, he was also hungry slowly?
Lu Qingjiu thought about it, feeling a bit cold again, and he said, "Is the charcoal under the kang about to die out?"
Bai Yuehu glanced at it and frowned slightly: "The fire is very big."
"Then why do I still feel cold..." When I burned in a daze, my whole body was too hot, but now it was a little bit cold. Lu Qingjiu wrapped his quilt tightly, but he felt that it had no effect. "It's cold."
White Moon Fox: "Still cold?"
Lu Qingjiu nodded heavily.
Bai Yuehu thought for a while, sat down beside Lu Qingjiu, and then nine furry tails protruded from behind him, wrapping Lu Qingjiu in front of him. The temperature of these tails is higher than the body temperature of ordinary people. Lu Qingjiu felt like he had fallen into a piece of soft and warm cotton when he was wrapped up, and he could not help but let out a comfortable groan/groan.
Bai Yuehu looked at Lu Qingjiu trapped in his fur, and said, "Is it better?"
"It's so comfortable and soft." Lu Qingjiu touched Baiyuehu's tail silly. "It's better...Aren't you cold?" In this weather, Baiyuehu was wearing a thin coat. Lu Qingjiu looked at him. I feel chilly in my neck.
"It's not cold." Bai Yuehu replied.
The body returned to warmth, and with the addition of food and medication to treat high fever, Lu Qingjiu told himself to stick to it as much as possible, but he couldn't control it and began to fall asleep.
His mind was dizzy and yawning constantly, Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu had a chat, forcing himself not to fall asleep.
White Moon Fox said softly: "Are you sleepy?"
"A bit..." Lu Qingjiu rubbed his eyes, "a bit sleepy."
Bai Yuehu said: "Go to sleep when you are sleepy."
Lu Qingjiu said vaguely: "If I fall asleep, will you eat me?"
Bai Yuehu didn't expect Lu Qingjiu to ask directly. He laughed when he heard this, and said, "I will try my best to control it."
"Is it just control?" Lu Qingjiu said helplessly, "Can't you give me a guarantee or something?"
Bai Yuehu frowned in distress, "I can't guarantee you, you look so delicious." He stretched out his hand and lightly touched Lu Qingjiu's chin, then slowly slid down, finally staying at Lu. Sake swallowed slightly on the throat, "I tried my best."
Lu Qingjiu laughed: "I'm wronged you."
Bai Yuehu didn't speak, and licked his lips.
Lu Qingjiu wanted to persevere, but he really couldn't persevere. His eyelids were fighting, and he was even sure that he could just close his eyes for three seconds before going to sleep. Lu Qingjiu, who had been fighting hard for a long time, finally chose to compromise. It was not that he didn't want to, but that he really couldn't hold on. The moment before his eyes slowly closed, Lu Qingjiu saw the redness in Baiyuefox's eyes. Light... he probably... is really going to be eaten, Lu Qingjiu fell asleep deeply.
He slept comfortably, and his furry tail firmly wrapped Lu Qingjiu, making him feel like he was sleeping in a soft cloud, his illness seemed to be cured, and his heavy body began to become lighter.
However, this comfortable feeling did not last long, and the pain awakened Lu Qingjiu from his dream. He opened his eyes blankly and felt that someone was lying on his body, and the heavy weight made him unable to get up.
The sensation of being pierced by a sharp weapon from his neck made Lu Qingjiu quickly sober. He realized that someone was buried in his shoulder and was chewing on his neck-without a doubt, this person was a white moon fox.
"Yuehu..." Lu Qingjiu's desire to survive made Lu Qingjiu's voice difficult. He put his hands against Baiyuehu's shoulders, trying to push him away from him, but the gap between humans and non-humans appeared at this time. Incisively and vividly, he exhausted all the strength of his body, but the White Moon Fox didn't move at all.
"Ah!" Feeling that the skin on his neck was bitten, and the bright red blood dripped on the pillow, Lu Qingjiu screamed in pain, "White Moon Fox—Stop—"
Hearing Lu Qingjiu's voice, Bai Yuehu's movements stopped. He slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Qingjiu under him.
Lu Qingjiu saw the white moon fox's face. Although his expression was the same as usual, the red blood stained on his lips gave him a strange charm. He called him: "Sake."
Lu Qingjiu panted roughly/heavy, and he said, "Bai Yuehu, are you hungry?"
Bai Yuehu said, "I'm not hungry."
Lu Qingjiu swallowed his saliva: "I'm not hungry, what do you bite me for?"
"Are you afraid?" Baiyuehu suddenly asked him, his hand touched the bitten wound on Lu Qingjiu's neck, and his index finger was moistened with a little blood, then he put it in his mouth, sucking slowly, and then the corner of his mouth. A smile was evoked, and it seemed extremely contented, "As delicious as imagined."
Lu Qingjiu forced himself to calm down, and he said, "You... intend to eat me?"
Bai Yuehu said: "What do you think?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "I think you didn't want to eat me."
Bai Yuehu said nothing, but quietly stared at Lu Sake's eyes, as if judging something.
"If you want to eat me, you must swallow it in one bite. Why do you wake me up?" Lu Qingjiu said, "Really?"
Bai Yuehu was silent for a long time, just when Lu Qingjiu started to slip through cold sweat on Lu Qingjiu's back, he nodded and said, "Yes."
Lu Qingjiu breathed a sigh of relief.
But when Lu Qingjiu was relieved, Bai Yuehu leaned over again and approached Lu Qingjiu's neck, and then seriously licked all the blood from the skin he had bitten. His serious attitude reminded Lu Qingjiu of the way he treated precious ingredients... and he was reluctant to waste it at all.
Lu Qingjiu could only lie on the bed, and because of the movements of the white moon fox, he did not dare to stir him anymore. The things that happened just now made him sure that the Baiyue Fox really wanted to eat him, the kind that didn't even have the bones left.
I don't know how long it took, just when Lu Qingjiu even suspected that he was about to fall asleep, Bai Yuehu's movements stopped.
He got up, carefully observed the marks he had left on Lu Qingjiu's neck, tilted his head, and said, "Are you afraid of me?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "No."
"Why are you not afraid?" Bai Yuehu said, "I want to eat you."
Lu Qingjiu smiled and said, "I just thought but didn't do it."
Bai Yuehu said: "Are you really not afraid of me?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "Um...not very scared."
Bai Yuehu observed Lu Qingjiu's expression and made sure that the person in front of him was not lying, and then completely left Lu Qingjiu. Lu Qingjiu clearly realized that the problem just now seemed to hide a certain life-threatening danger. If he was really afraid of the white moon fox because of this incident, he would dodge his eyes when he met him, maybe the next moment, in front of him. This man who is not as beautiful as a human will turn into a prototype and swallow him in one bite.
Bai Yuehu doesn't like people who are afraid of him, and he doesn't need to live with people who are afraid of him.
Fortunately, Lu Qingjiu, as he showed, was not very afraid of the White Moon Fox, so he was lucky to escape.
Bai Yuehu got up from Lu Qingjiu, but the nine furry tails were still wrapped around Lu Qingjiu. Lu Qingjiu reached out and touched the wound on the side of his neck, not surprisingly, he touched a tooth mark.
Lu Qingjiu's expression became serious when he thought of something.
Bai Yuehu said, "What are you thinking?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "That... Fox is a canine, right?"
Bai Yuehu said: "Huh?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "I was bitten by a canine, do you want to get a rabies vaccine?"
White Moon Fox: "..."
"But you seem to bite in a human form." Lu Qingjiu tangled, "Is it because I was bitten by a man or by a fox?"
The two of them stared at each other and didn't speak for a long time.
In the end, Lu Qingjiu gave up first, saying that there should be nothing wrong, and asked Baiyue Fox if he has ever bitten other people.
"No." Baiyue Fox said frankly, "I never bite."
Lu Qingjiu just wanted to smile when he heard him add ruthlessly: "I have always swallowed it in one bite."
Lu Qingjiu said aggrieved: "Then why are you biting me?"
Bai Yuehu said: "You look so delicious, it's a pity to swallow it in one bite."
Lu Qingjiu: "..."
Bai Yuehu said: "Who knows that you woke up as soon as you tasted something."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Why are you so sorry? If I didn't wake up, would I really explain here today? ! It seems that Pang Ziqi's words still have some truth, there is no logic at all in the fierce beast...
Lu Qingjiu said weakly, "Then what do you think of the taste?"
Bai Yuehu said: "It's really fragrant."
Lu Qingjiu couldn't laugh or cry immediately, but Bai Yuehu had learned this saying.
For the rest of the night, Lu Qingjiu didn't dare to sleep too much, but Bai Yuehu seemed to have no intention of swearing at him. At dawn, Yin Xun hurried over from home under the wind and snow, and he was relieved to see Lu Qingjiu intact.
Lu Qingjiu distracted the Baiyue Fox, asked him to make himself a pot of hot water, and then told Yin Xun what had happened last night.
Yin Xun looked at the tooth print on Lu Sake's neck and said with trepidation, "Fuck, were you not afraid?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "...maybe burnt out, not particularly scared."
Yin Xun said, "It's too scary. I might just urinate on the spot." Biting the neck is equivalent to being bitten by the lifeblood. As long as the white moon fox adds a little bit of gravity, the fragile neck will make a crackling sound, so clean and neat. Lu Qingjiu was so indifferent because of the break.
Lu Qingjiu said: "What are you afraid of, aren't you made of water?"
Yin Xun: "Although my body is made of water, my soul is crystal clear like glass, weak and fragile."
Lu Qingjiu made a vomiting expression, and Yin Xun continued to disgust Lu Qingjiu with a shy smile.
After Lu Qingjiu vomited, "But then again, did he like me before he wanted to eat me?"
Yin Xun said, "Yes."
Lu Qingjiu always felt that the logic was a bit wrong, and asked in doubt: "Then he didn't eat me. Does it mean that he doesn't like me that much?"
Yin Xun thought for a while: "I think he likes you so much, that's why he didn't eat you." In fact, he quite understands Bai Yuehu's thoughts. Usually it's okay. This Lu Qingjiu will give people a kind of illness all his life. The feeling of fragility made them think that human beings are so easy to lose, and that they are sad if they lose it. It is better to put it in their stomachs in advance, so that they never have to worry about being separated. However, what Yin Xun did not expect was that although Bai Yuehu opened his mouth, he actually restrained his appetite and let Lu Qingjiu a way out. When he came here today, he was really scared to see white leaves in the house. Yuehu is alone, and the bed is empty...
Lu Qingjiu felt that he couldn't understand this group of non-humans, but it didn't matter if he couldn't understand it, as long as he was still alive.
The White Moon Fox also came over with hot water. Lu Qingjiu washed his face with hot water in the room, but felt that he was still slimy, so he wanted to take a bath.
"Are you still taking a shower?" Yin Xun asked, "I'm afraid you will relapse after taking a bath." He took Lu Qingjiu's body temperature just now, and it returned to normal levels, but now the weather is too cold and Lu Qingjiu's physical condition is not good. Great.
"Then what to do?" Lu Qingjiu said, "You can't be tired of it all the time."
"You can wipe your body with hot water. The room is so warm, it doesn't matter if you take it off." Yin Xun said.
"All right." Lu Qingjiu didn't force it, but he didn't dare to get sick again. If he was sick, he would have to suffer. There was a greedy vixen staring at him. This time he just left a tooth mark. He didn't wake up, who knows if he can open his eyes again...
Lu Qingjiu briefly wiped his upper body in the room, mainly to clean up the sweat stains left on his body. He wiped it and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, what about the little fox cub?" He remembered it when he slept yesterday. He was still by his side, but disappeared after waking up, it wouldn't be because of the white moon fox...
Facing Lu Qingjiu's gaze, Baiyue Fox frowned: "Look at what I do. It has so little meat, I'm not interested in it."
Lu Qingjiu whispered, "I don't actually have much meat."
Yin Xun and Lu Qingjiu nodded together: "Yes, yes, you see Lu Qingjiu is all bones."
Bai Yuehu said: "It's okay, you still have room for development."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Thank you for your fancy, but forget it.
Bai Yuehu said, "It's good to sleep with two pigs outside."
Lu Qingjiu breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he also felt that the White Moon Fox shouldn't eat the little fox cubs, after all, they are all of the same race—perhaps. However, it seems that Yin Xun has long known what Bai Yuehu is, and Lu Qingjiu is not ready to ask. After all, Bai Yuehu is reluctant to eat him because he likes his craftsmanship, and Yin Xun is obviously not so lucky. .
The worst thing was that the white moon fox ate half of Yin Xun. Yin Xun could grow up the next day, and he was simply the best object for recycling.
