50 Two People

"Ok. We won't break up, and I won't run away. Are you rest assured now?" I said with a positive affirmation.

He stared at me without batting an eye. His long eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked doubtful.

"Elder brother, use your smart brain to think about it. Even if I wanted to run away, I can't escape from you, right?" I leaned forward, reached out, and pulled the corner of his clothes. He shook off my hand and stared at me fiercely with an imposing manner.

I had butterflies in my stomach. Ming Si is not a human being, he's Hades. If I made him unhappy, I would be dead. Why can't I get along with myself? Besides, Ming Si's logic is so weird that he thinks not meeting for a while as breaking up. What else can I even say?

Then I'll see him!

"Then you just ignore what I said before, and we'll continue to meet each other. We will still meet each other. You come whenever you like and leave whenever you want," I rushed to ingratiate him on purpose.

He raised his brows slightly and asked, "Have you compromised?"

"En."

What would happen if I didn't compromise? I would just be waiting to get bullied by him instead.

The corners of his lips twitched, and the hostility between his eyebrows disappeared suddenly. Instead, a smile blossomed on his face.

He raised his hand, pinched my chin, leaned his cheek close, gently kissing my lips.

I stood still and let him kiss me. I also allowed his hands around my waist to get tighter.

...

I didn't sleep during lunch break. The first class in the afternoon was Chinese, and I was a little sleepy. I tried my best to focus, but I was called up by Teacher Four Eyes multiple times to answer questions. Fortunately, I answered all of them and he did not have a chance to find any faults with me.

I finally waited until the class was over. Mo Ya came over as soon as Teacher Four Eyes left the classroom, and said quietly to me, "See, Teacher Four Eyes is onto you."

I was dumbfounded, "What should I do?"

She grimaced. It was apparent that she was helpless with this too.

At the same time, I saw Cheng Fengfeng holding a small pencil sharpening knife in her hand. She grabbed her deskmate and said with a smile, "My dear, can I discuss something with you?"

Her deskmate looked at her with a stunned look, and looked at the pencil sharpening knife in her hand, "What's the matter?"

"Would you mind lending me some blood?"

Her deskmate's facial expression changed immediately. She shook her away, cursed at Cheng Fengfeng angrily, got up, and walked out of the classroom.

Cheng Fengfeng looked at me with a resigned look.

I was speechless. Who would lend her blood if she asked to borrow blood from others like this?

This was blood that was in their body! It's not something external. Who would be willing to lend it?

Borrowing blood?

A person suddenly flashed across my mind - Teacher Wu.

I helped Teacher Wu in middle school. I heard that he was not working at school now, and had opened a psychological counseling studio. If I asked him for help, would he help?

But he was a psychological counselor and has nothing to do with blood. The doctors who wereexposed to blood were doctors and nurses hospitals… Should I go to the blood bank to steal blood?

No, I can't do it! There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the hospital. If I was caught, I would be charged for theft! Moreover, my reason to steal blood was absurd. At the age of sixteen, I have reached the age where I can bear criminal responsibility alone. I didn't want to be arrested for stealing blood.

Was there no other way?

I had a headache. I couldn't help but worry about Cheng Fengfeng when I saw her sad little face.

Although I wouldn't say I liked Cheng Fengfeng's mannerisms sometimes, I still had some feelings for her as we had been around each other for the past three years in middle school. No matter what I couldn't just let her die.

The jade bracelet seemed like a chronic disease. It would shrink slowly until it invaded the human body's bone and blood, and it might even absorb all the blood in the human body. Or maybe, the person might have died before the blood was absorbed fully as the vessels would become blocked.

"Sixi," Cheng Fengfeng yelled at me.

I looked up and found that she was not in her seat. After looking around, I saw her standing at the back door.

She waved to me and motioned me to go over.

I smiled at Mo Ya, got up, and walked to the back door. Cheng Fengfeng dragged me to the corner of the corridor and whispered to me, "If it's not possible, I'll go and buy blood."

"Where can you buy blood from?"

"The hospital!"

"Can you be sure that the blood you will buy is the blood of a 16-year-old girl?"

My words stopped her in her tracks.

She was dumbfounded, and her face turned sad again.

"Could it be that you want me to wait until I die?"

"Of course not, let's think of another way."

Her eyes lit up, and she asked me, "Do you have a way?"

"No."

...

Both of us then returned to the classroom with sad faces.

There were various rustling sounds in the dormitory after the lights were turned off, and everyone seemed to not yet be asleep.

I turned over, and the upper bunk made a 'creak' sound. Someone laughed with a 'puff', and it sounded like Hu Shan on the opposite upper bunk bed.

"Who's laughing and not letting people sleep?" Liu Yingying roared impatiently, and the dormitory suddenly became silent.

This lady was usually arrogant. There were some violent rumors about her, such as breaking someone's ribs by stepping on it, beating someone until the person's nose and mouth bled, expelled from school because of a fighting incident, etc.. She was someone who walked proudly around school, and students would most probably make detour when they see her.

I was one of the students who avoided her.

The dormitory became completely quiet, and after a while, there were sounds of someone breathing slowly and evenly. It seemed that someone had gone to sleep.

I turned over, not sleepy at all. I vaguely heard Cheng Fengfeng in the lower bunk sigh.

I called her softly. Sure enough, she was not asleep.

"Sixi, I am so uncomfortable. I feel that the jade bracelet has become smaller again, it is so tight that it makes me very uncomfortable."

I looked down. The lower bunk was dark, and with the help of the moonlight, I could vaguely see two people asleep on the bed.

I felt creepy. Why were there two people?

I rubbed my eyes, opened my eyes bigger, and looked again. There were indeed two people.

"Sixi, where are you going to get so much blood?" Cheng Fengfeng's voice rang again.

I noticed that she moved. She was sleeping by the side. Then who is sleeping next to the wall? Could it be the ghost in the jade bracelet?

"Sixi, why are you not talking? Are you asleep?"

"No… Well, is that bed comfortable for you to sleep in? Is it crowded? I have some clothes beside my bed…" I said and pretended to lie down calmly.

She murmured, "It's not crowded; it's quite spacious."

"That's good. Go to sleep; we will think of a solution tomorrow for the blood."

"Then, can you think of a way tomorrow?"

I paused and sighed, "There will always be a way. We will cross the bridge when we come to it."

"Then, there is no way."

...

At the moment, Liu Yingying said a sentence abruptly in the dark, which made me shudder.

"If you guys have finished talking, go to sleep. Another sentence, and I will drag both of you out for a violent beating."
