Chapter 184 – The Werewolf Is Forcibly Loved by the Father of Vampires 11

In the bathroom, Chu Chi, who was still showering, heard a loud noise. Startled, he rushed out with his head full of foam. He saw the wolf cub, who had fallen off the sofa and was now trembling uncontrollably on the floor.

“Hey, are you okay? Did you accidentally eat rat poison?!”

Worried, he quickly walked over and pried open Shuang Yu’s mouth to check. It didn’t seem like he had eaten rat poison, and he wasn’t foaming at the mouth. With his eyes closed, Shuang Yu couldn’t hear the other man’s words. He was dragged back into the memory of the church, suffering immensely. It was like being tortured by a thousand cuts. He could do nothing but watch the cruel scene replay before his eyes, experiencing a despair more painful than death.

No… this isn’t the time to be lost in sorrow. I have to find a clue…

Shuddering violently, Shuang Yu fought to overcome the shadow in his heart, forcing himself to confront his inner fear.

Splurch—

A hand, sharper than any blade, pierced straight through Su Jiaxue’s chest, easily tearing out her heart. The man in the bamboo hat slowly turned to look at him. Under the shadow, he thought he saw the man give a short laugh. The man brought Su Jiaxue’s heart to his lips and ate it, bite by bite. The sound of tearing flesh and blood, along with a scalp-numbing chewing sound, echoed in the air. Shuang Yu’s stomach churned, and he dry-heaved repeatedly.

“It’s not my blood, is it? Is it poisonous? Hey, are you okay? Do I need to call an ambulance for you…”

In the real world, Chu Chi was scared silly by his dramatic behavior, completely at a loss for what to do. Trapped in the memory, Shuang Yu roared madly, large teardrops rolling down from the corners of his eyes. Finally, the man finished eating Su Jiaxue’s heart. He licked the blood from his palm with an air of wanting more and slowly pulled his hand out of her body.

At that very moment, Shuang Yu finally found a distinguishing feature! On the man’s lower abdomen, there was a birthmark, a mix of red and green, resembling a red spider lily.

“Hah…”

His eyes snapped open. Shuang Yu gasped for breath, his scarlet eyes filled with lingering fear and venomous hatred.

“Aah!”

Chu Chi was frightened by his terrifying expression and fell to the floor with a thump. Before he could get up, he was pounced on by Shuang Yu again. Like a beast reeking of blood, his heavy panting was incessant. Drop after drop of saliva dripped from the wolf’s mouth, landing on his face, neck, chest, and abdomen…

“H-hey… d-don’t go any lower… I’m a straight man, I can’t have a deep exchange with you, ahem… bestiality is a no-go too!”

Chu Chi swallowed hard, stammering as he half-heartedly raised a hand to push Shuang Yu’s head away.

It’s not there?!

Shuang Yu stared intently at his pale abdomen, his mind a complete blank.

“Why isn’t there a birthmark here!” a wolf’s paw pressed against Chu Chi’s lower abdomen as Shuang Yu asked fiercely.

“Why should there be a birthmark? What the hell are you doing? Damn it, don’t tell me this is some kind of cringey replacement trope…”

Chu Chi’s train of thought was wild, even managing to think of the replacement trope. He’s not the culprit? But how to explain the scratch marks on his shoulder blade! And it’s such a coincidence that they appeared in the same small town! Shuang Yu’s mind was a tangled mess.

“Was it you or Chu Yuan two days ago?” he demanded again.

“It wasn’t me. I don’t know if it was him. Our memories aren’t shared… Anyway, that replacement trope stuff is a bad idea. You’ll regret it when you have to chase your husband to the crematorium…” Chu Chi babbled on.

Shuang Yu shot him a glare, got off him irritably, and flopped onto the floor, closing his eyes to think.

“You’re giving me the eye again. I’m telling you, I won’t fall for it. Cherish life, stay away from replacement tropes!” Chu Chi was on a roll, refusing him righteously.

How did he mistake a glare for a come-hither look?

Final verdict: this kid has a screw loose. Shuang Yu silently turned around, presenting his butt to him.

“Hooligan! I told you, I refuse bestiality!” Chu Chi’s face flushed beet red as his mind went to the gutter again. He scrambled back into the bathroom and slammed the door.

Shuang Yu: “…”

What is wrong with this guy!

Whatever, his mind would never be on the same frequency as a pervert’s. It was better to think about serious matters.

[There’s a possibility that the birthmark only appears when he turns into a vampire. Another possibility is that he’s not the Blood-kin who attacked the original owner and Su Jiaxue at all! He just happened to be there, saw you on the brink of death, and gave you the First Embrace out of the goodness of his heart to save you. But because your memory is incomplete, he’s taking the blame.]

Xiao Ai stated its hypothesis.

“Do you think the word ‘goodness’ applies to a pervert?” Shuang Yu retorted irritably.

The latter fell silent for a moment before obediently changing its tune.

[Then maybe he did it for fun. Werewolves and the Blood-kin are mortal enemies. Turning a werewolf into a vampire is something to be proud of. Even a hundred years ago, it would have been considered a notoriously vicious act!]

Shuang Yu couldn’t be bothered with it anymore, but its analysis was correct. Although he didn’t want to get deeply involved with a pervert, he had no other choice. He had to stick by this patient with dissociative identity disorder to find out the truth. While he was thinking, Chu Chi came out of the shower. The orange scent clinging to him made him seem like a giant, walking orange.

“You were brought back by that pervert Chu Yuan, right? He probably won’t be coming out for a while. You should leave now. I’ll keep your werewolf identity a secret. Even if you want to find a substitute, don’t pick him. He’s not a normal person!” he said, turning back to give Shuang Yu a solemn warning as he changed into his own clothes.

“I have nowhere to go…” Shuang Yu said mournfully after a long silence.

Is he trying to leech off of me? This kid, is it that the path with Chu Yuan is blocked, so now he’s set his sights on me?

Chu Chi was a little surprised, and also a little smug. Hmph, he was indeed more popular than that pervert Chu Yuan. Ahem, I absolutely can’t let this foolish werewolf know that I’ve seen through his thoughts. I don’t want to be a substitute.

“Not my problem. The most I can do is let you stay for breakfast. That’s the extent of my kindness. Don’t you dare push your luck!” Chu Chi opened the door and turned back with the air of a savior.

Shuang Yu gave him a lazy glance but didn’t reply, obediently standing up and walking out. The man and the wolf arrived on the first floor. In the hall, the three servants were cleaning. They looked up at the sound of footsteps and were all dumbfounded.

That wolf… isn’t dead?!

Then they looked at Chu Chi’s attire and were even more surprised. The personality switch was unusually fast this time. Young Master Chu Yuan had only appeared for a single day?!

“Hua Sao, I’m hungry… Quickly prepare a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast for your young master. I’m so hungry right now I could eat a cow!” Chu Chi immediately started making a fuss the moment he saw the three of them.

“Of course, Young Master Chu Chi.” Hua Sao smiled, bowed to him, put down her cleaning cloth, and turned to enter the kitchen.

“Sister Nini, I haven’t seen you in a few days, and you’ve gotten even prettier,” the sweet-talking Chu Chi said, winking flirtatiously at Nini.

He was using his actions to tell the werewolf beside him: Don’t love me, it’s hopeless! A straight man and a gay man have no future!
