What It’s Like Being a Vampire

After chatting with Xiang Kun on wechat for a while, Xia Libing's eyelids were a little twitched, and she was about to go to sleep.

The third aunt prepared new towels and toothbrushes for her. After a brief wash, she went to the kitchen lightly, took a pair of chopsticks and returned to the room.

After closing the door, Xia Libing took out the pair of chopsticks that Xiang Kun gave her from her backpack, and the pair from the kitchen, and used them in turn.

The chopsticks of the third aunt's house are also pointed wooden chopsticks, but when you pick them up, there is a significant difference in the feel, and when you try to hold things, the difference is even greater.

Although in fact, if it is used to hold things, there will be no obvious difference in a single time-use statistics, but in terms of subjective experience, the pair customized by Xiang Kun will be much easier to use. If the statistics are carried out for a long time and many times, it should be able to reflect a relatively large difference, whether it is an increase in the success rate of pinching things or a reduction in the fatigue of the fingers.

Xia Libing placed the two pairs of chopsticks on the A side of the laptop, observed for a while, and then took a picture with the phone to record.

Then I took the chopsticks from the kitchen and washed them and put them back where they were before I came back and lay down on the bed.

In fact, she is very sleepy now, her eyelids are really a little bit tight, her body is exhausted, and she wants to sleep.

But tonight, she got too much information, and she kept scrolling it over and over in her mind. She wanted to analyze and think unconsciously.

When she saw the pair of chopsticks Xiang Kun gave her, her first judgment was that the chopsticks were different from the previous lyrics, graffiti, and coins. They were probably a serious "gift" and not like those things. There may be certain characteristics, which are given to her for a special purpose. After all, the chopsticks looked more like a "gift", and Xiang Kun had given them to Nana before.

But after taking it in her hands, she was a little unsure, because the chopsticks fit a little too well, but this kind of fit was different from her feeling of fit to the coin Xiang Kun gave, at least This chopstick is indeed different from other chopsticks in terms of detail structure, she can find out the reason why she can use it more smoothly, and that coin... Objectively, there is no difference from other coins at all.

Xia Libing was lying on the bed, his eyes were closed, but his mind was still thinking about something involuntarily, and the hand stretched out from the quilt and resting on his stomach was also "subconsciously" turning over a coin.

She thought back to the "fight" between Xiang Kun and the two murderers in the alley.

Although it seemed fierce, she was sure that Xiang Kun didn't take it seriously at all, just like the human traffickers he encountered before, he was more of a "performer".

With Xiang Kun's character, it's not that she has absolute certainty and control. With her present, it's impossible for those two to keep holding weapons.

But even if it's just a "performance", the athletic ability shown is already quite breathtaking.

So to what extent can Xiang Kun's real physical fitness and athletic ability reach?

Xia Libing couldn't help thinking, how can he force Xiang Kun to use his full strength?

And she also found that now Xiang Kun obviously has better control over her emotions. When she first met Xiang Kun, it was easy to guess his thoughts and emotions from his expression and some reactions, but now more and more Difficult.

How long is this?

A few months is a long time for some things, but it is very difficult for an adult to make physical and psychological changes.

This continuous change in body and mind,

What causes it?

Thinking about it, Xia Libing's thoughts gradually blurred, and she fell into a deep sleep.

...

After knowing that Xia Libing was going to live at her third aunt's house at night, Xiang Kun was already "earning his hands" and was ready to sense the pair of chopsticks at night and try to trigger Lao Xia's dream.

Because he knew that if Lao Xia went back to the house he rented, the pair of chopsticks might not be where he would put them.

Although there is a high probability that it will be placed in the bedroom, there is still a certain probability that it will be placed in a desk drawer, in a cabinet, or on the dining table in the living room. As for the kitchen, I discovered it when I went to rent a house in Lao Xia last time. She doesn't know how to cook and eat. With her character, it is impossible to put these chopsticks there.

So when Xia Libing was sleeping, there was still a certain chance that he would be outside the influence of the chopsticks.

But it would be different if she stayed overnight at her third aunt's house, and she would definitely bring her bag with her in the room. And the guest room is unlikely to be very large, her backpack should not be too far from the bed, and she will almost certainly be within the range of influence when she sleeps.

When it was nearly four o'clock, Xiang Kun's sensor finally had feedback, the scene in front of him changed, and he successfully "connected" into a dream.

Still perceiving from the dreamer's first-person perspective, Xiang Kun found himself in a small closed room, burying his head in the table and eating something. A strong sense of hunger dominated him, driving him to swallow crazily. .

He noticed that the food in his hand seemed to be slices of toast, but basically he filled his mouth with one bite, chewed and swallowed constantly, and took a sip from the water glass next to him from time to time.

Driven by hunger, even if you eat just ordinary toast, the feeling in your mouth is still very delicious. While eating, he salivated frantically. It is precisely because of this that when he stuttered toast, his hands were covered with saliva.

Xiang Kun was a little stunned. Is this Lao Xia's dream?

This hunger is too strong... Is Lao Xia the reincarnation of a starving ghost?

But such a special dream is unlikely to belong to other people.

Suddenly, a small hand stretched out from the side, and pulled out the plate of toast under Lao Xia's hand, and then a little girl deliberately pretended to be mature: "Okay, I can't eat it, I have to control it. "

Looking over with that hand, Xiang Kun found that the person who took the dinner plate was a fat little girl in a white coat. Because she was too small and the white coat was too long, the hem even dragged to the ground. There are also collars and buttons, which look like a white sheet.

The little girl is Liu Shiling, the chubby girl.

Xiang Kun immediately understood, because when he made this pair of chopsticks and carried out "emotional injection", although the expectation and enjoyment of the food had been transformed into his own, it was still perceived from Liu Shiling after all, so When repeating this emotion, I will think of Little Pang Girl more or less.

Thus, the emotional projection of the pair of "emotional injection" chopsticks in the dream became Liu Shiling.

But who should be the person in a white coat who took away Lao Xia's dinner plate? Was it the doctor who treated Lao Xia when she had problems when she was a child?

Just as he was thinking this way, the next moment, the scene in front of him changed again. Although the surrounding scene was blurry, it was a little familiar. It seemed to be in the house he bought.

Lao Xia was sitting at the dining table in his living room, waiting for food with chopsticks, and she could clearly feel her sense of anticipation for the food.

Accompanied by a small figure beside the table is the chubby girl Liu Shiling, but she is no longer wearing a white coat at this time.

"Sister Xia, the rabbit meat made by Uncle Bald is super delicious!" Liu Shiling's voice sounded.

"Pork knuckles are delicious." Lao Xia said.

"Rabbits are delicious!" Liu Shiling raised her chin.

"Pork knuckle is delicious." Lao Xia's tone remained unchanged, but he was very sure.

"Rabbits are delicious!!" Liu Shiling increased the volume.

"Pork knuckle is delicious." Lao Xia repeated without giving in.

At this time, a tall bald man in an apron walked over with a plate in one hand, braised rabbit meat in braised sauce on one side, and crispy pork knuckle on the other, both emitting aroma.

There was no doubt that this bald chef was Xiang Kun who was a tool man in the dream.

Looking at himself from the perspective of Lao Xia in the dream, Xiang Kun couldn't help being a little funny. His figure and clothes in the dream were not much different from those in reality, but the glasses on his face were always in a reflective state. The eyes could not be seen at all, but the mouth was wide open, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and a "bright" smile that looked fake.

Could it be that Lao Xia felt that he was too hypocritical in reality, that he had such a projection in his dream? Uh, it shouldn't be, it should be that Lao Xia thinks he can't see through him.

When Xiang Kun was perceiving and observing the situation in the dream, the hunger and anticipation for food that originally originated from Lao Xia suddenly disappeared, replaced by a rational and sober feeling that seemed to be emotional but not emotional.

Feeling lucid and sane in a dream? It was a really weird experience.

This is not the first time Xiang Kun has this feeling. When he felt hungry when the blood-drinking period came, he had vaguely felt this feeling more than once through the lyrics sent to Lao Xia through induction. , this feeling can even help him suppress the frenzy caused by hunger during the blood drinking period.

In the sight of the dream, Xiang Kun found that Lao Xia looked down at the back of her hand, and the next moment, a coin appeared between her slender and white fingers, and then she flipped the coin quickly, but the coin flipped over Then, suddenly suspended in the air.

Then, Lao Xia looked up and looked around, looking at the scene in the room.

The blurry scene in the dream, whether it was the table, the window, the wall, or the bowls and chopsticks, many details became clear when her eyes swept over it. Even "Xiang Kun" who came out of the kitchen wearing an apron ", the reflective glasses and fake smile are gone, and it's back to normal.

As for Liu Shiling, who was sitting at the table, her clothes and appearance also changed slightly, as if she was still living in 706 before.

It seems that Lao Xia is filling in the details in the dream, using memory to "repair"?

But soon, the dream changed again, everything around him disappeared, and he fell into darkness, and Xiang Kun withdrew from the perception of the dream.

Obviously, Lao Xia's dream is over.

The sudden end of the dream may be because Lao Xia suddenly "woke up" in the dream?

The so-called "lucid dream", Xiang Kun had seen some before when he was looking for information related to dreams. But these are not the content of orthodox psychology and brain science, more like metaphysics, and it should not be the same as Lao Xia's feeling in the dream just now.

And Xiang Kun had never encountered such a situation when he used "emotional injection" items to perceive other people's dreams so many times in the past.

It is presumed that it is Lao Xia's special, emotional rather than emotional, extremely rational and calm characteristics that allow her to "wake up" in her dreams.

Xiang Kun recalled Lao Xia's strong sense of hunger when he first perceived the dream.

There is no doubt that Lao Xia has definitely been hungry before, and he was very hungry.

But this is a bit strange. With Lao Xia's family conditions and being an only child, how could her parents be willing to let her starve?

Contacting the narrow room and the person in the white coat, Xiang Kun wondered, could it be that Lao Xia was hungry when he was being treated for some "illness" when he was a child?

Is it because of this that she is more likely to have mood swings when eating?

Only by using "emotional infusion" items related to emotions when eating can it lead to Lao Xia's dreams?

It's a pity that Lao Xia didn't "wake up" in that narrow room, otherwise, based on the details of more rooms or the white coat, she could judge where she was and investigate further.

...

Xia Libing sat on the bed, stared blankly at the wall in front of her, and subconsciously raised her hand to wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth.

This is the "guest room" of the third aunt's house, there is nothing wrong with it, it was indeed a dream just now.

I actually dreamed again?

Xia Libing smacked her mouth, she felt a bit of regret - she hadn't had time to eat the plate of crispy pork knuckle that Xiang Kun served in her dream.

In the second half of the dream, she suddenly "woke up" and realized that she was dreaming, and then subconsciously observed the surrounding situation and filled in various details. Unexpectedly, the dream would "collapse" and end. If she had known this earlier, she should have continued to remain in a semi-confused state and not pay too much attention to the details.

She loves the experience in dreams.

But why did she suddenly have a dream tonight after she hadn't dreamed for a long time?

She naturally remembered the morning in Tongshi town a few days ago, when Xiang Kun suddenly asked about dreams.

At that time, Xiang Kun asked her if she had "dreams that were particularly impressive", and in the end she gave the answer that she had only "dreams related to eating".

So a few days later tonight, she had another dream related to eating.

So could the dream tonight have something to do with Xiang Kun?

And when she was dreaming, why didn't she dream of Nana, Zhen'er, or her parents, but the little girl who lived next to Xiang Kun appeared repeatedly?

Xia Libing first found the coin she was playing with before going to bed from the quilt, then looked back at the box on the bedside table that contained the chopsticks that Xiang Kun gave her, raised her hand, took it, opened it and checked it.

The chopsticks were still quietly "lying" in the box, nothing abnormal, and there was no change in holding it in the hand.

But Xia Libing couldn't help wondering whether the chopsticks she used to eat had any connection with her dream?

Xia Libing thought for a while, then simply lay down holding the pair of chopsticks, closed her eyes, and wanted to try to fall asleep again, to see if she would dream again.

At that time, she will maintain a half-dream and half-awake state to try to control the existence in the dream.

But as soon as he lay down, his stomach made two growls.

Xia Libing had no choice but to sit up again, got out of bed clutching her stomach, and walked lightly to the kitchen in slippers to see if there was anything to eat.

It seems that the dream just now stimulated her appetite and made her hungry in advance.

Opening the refrigerator, Xia Libing saw a small cake. Xia Libing licked his lips and subconsciously wanted to reach out to take it, but he stretched halfway. After thinking about it, he clenched his fist and controlled himself. Made a cup of cereal and went back to the guest room.

While eating, Xia Libing suddenly remembered that the last meal in Tongshi Town seemed to be particularly delicious.

Carefully recalling the details of the meal at that time, the specific taste of each dish, she found that, except for a few dishes she had eaten before that were very appetizing to her, there were a few other dishes that did not taste as good as the ones she had eaten before. Not quite the same, but noticeably tastier and more palatable.

She had always known that Xiang Kun would adjust the taste of the dishes according to their tastes. For the same dish, cooking it for her was different from making it for Nana or Zhener.

But that meal that night, those dishes, seemed to have been prepared for her.

No wonder she felt very delicious that day and ate a lot, but Zhener complained that the taste was not as good as before, and some dishes were too sweet with added sugar.

Why did Xiang Kun do that?

Xia Libing thought that that morning, she told Xiang Kun that she only had dreams related to eating.

Although there was no direct evidence, she was even more certain that the sudden dream tonight was not a random event and had nothing to do with Xiang Kun.

But how should it be verified?
