Chapter 32: Gave it to him<blockquote>


    32nd -Gave it to him</blockquote>


    The old-fashioned street lights were dim. Small posters for certificate engravings, locksmiths, and Chinese medicine were pasted around metal pirs, the papers yellowing due to being exposed to the elements. On a dusty-gray concrete wall, the Harmonious Neighborhood poster no longer stuck properly and was being whipped around by the wind.


    Entering from a low gate, there was a narrow alley and a staircase with green painted railings that were almost falling off. A sound-activated light was triggered and lit up with a yellow-orange glow.


    Chu Yu was confused and scanned his surroundings with half-opened eyes. He asked with a soft voice, Where are we going?


    My ce.


    They stopped in front of a door. Lu Shi held him in his arms with one hand while unlocking the door with the key in the other.


    Chu Yus brain turned slowly for hed just sucked blood and his whole body was weak. It wasnt until he heard the bang of the door closing that he realized hed arrived at Lu Shis home.


    The lights turned on.


    It was neat, clean, and empty.


    Chu Yu looked at the indoor furnishings, feeling a little cold.


    Apart from necessary furniture, there were no other decorations in the house.


    In the narrow living room, the walls were whitewashed, and there was just a wooden table and a two-seat sofa it was spotless. The bedroom door was open, and through it he could see numerous stacks of exercise books and study materials on top of an old-fashioned desk.


    Chu Yu wasnt someone who restrained himself from living life pleasurably. He was ustomed to decorating the ce where he lived exquisitely, warmly, andfortably. Carpets would cover the floors and beautiful paintings must be hung on the white walls. There were not only books on the shelves, but also all kinds of ornaments and gadgets. As for his desk, lots of small things would be scattered around. Finally, green nts would always be incorporated into the room to add life and greenery.


    Sitting on the sofa, Chu Yu held a ss of water given to him by Lu Shi. Suddenly, there was an existence like Lu Shis who practically silenced every feeling of indulging in the enjoyment of material desire.


    Just like an ascetic monk, abandoning everything around oneself that might shake the mind.


    He remembered that Zhu Zhifei once mentioned that Lu Shi had moved to Qingchuan Road by himself during summer vacation more than a year ago.


    And this ce was his mothers house.


    Chu Yu.


    Chu Yu raised his head and replied without thinking, Here.


    A smile appeared in Lu Shis eyes.


    You sit here and finish drinking the water, Ill go take a shower.


    Chu Yu held the ss of water and nodded. Okay.


    After Lu Shi finished speaking, he turned and walked to the bathroom.


    While walking, he crossed his arms, pulled the fabric of his ck t-shirt up, and took it off.


    His figure was slim, but after removing his top, one could see tight muscles with extremely defined lines. His ck trousers wrapped around his long legs while the waistband hugged his strong yet thin waist and set off his cold whiteplexion, making it very eye-catching.


    Chu Yu couldnt look away.


    He even forgot to drink the water.


    As if knowing Chu Yu was watching him, Lu Shi inclined his body to the side. How long do you intend to watch? The ending tone rose slightly, carrying a hint of ambiguity.


    Seeing Chu Yu stare at him without responding, Lu Shi left another sentence, Focus on drinking water.


    Then he walked into the bathroom.


    When Lu Shi came out of the bathroom with his hair still damp from taking a shower, Chu Yu had already fallen asleep while leaning on the sofa.


    His head was askew, his breathing even, and his hair fell naturally, covering his eyebrows.


    The ss had been emptied and was loosely held by both hands.


    October had arrived, so the temperature had begun to drop and the chilled night made him curl up a little for fear of the cold.


    Lu Shi stood there for a while.


    He discovered that even though there was another persons breathing in the house, it wasnt as repulsive as hed imagined.


    As he approached, Lu Shi didnt try to wake Chu Yu up, but instead bent down and lifted him.


    <i>Very light.</i>


    Putting the person on the bed in the bedroom, Lu Shi took out a thin, cleanly washed quilt from the cab and covered Chu Yu with it.


    Turning the light off, Lu Shiy beside Chu Yu and closed his eyes to sleep.


    Chu Yu had a dream.


    The whole worlds hour hand seemed to have been pushed back and every second stretched infinitely.


    In the closed conference room, he stood on the spot and watched his mothers eyebrows gradually frown. Her eyes were full of impatience as she stated, Ive long sincepletely given up on you.


    The sybles of each word were dragged out very long.


    Until finally, they turned into sharp needles with frosty edges.


    The scene changed. When he was a child, he escaped his tutoring sses and quietly fled to the garden to see the ants. He also picked a flower, intending to give it to his mother.


    Turning around, he saw Shi Yaling standing on thewn, instructing, Except for etiquette, there is no need to arrange other courses for Chu Yu in the future.


    He wasnt aware of anything at all, passing the flower in his hand to Shi Yaling and smiling. Mama, for you


    Chu Yu, Ivepletely given up on you.


    The flower in his hand rapidly withered and scattered like ashes. He panicked. Mom, why did you give up on me?


    As soon as the scene changed again, his sister Chu Xi walked over. Mom only cares about those who are useful to her, as for everyone else, shes stingy when spending any energy and attention on them. Chu Yu, dont you understand?


    <i>I understand.</i>


    <i>I understand now.</i>


    Waking from his dream, Chu Yu shut his eyes, feeling as if he were covered in ayer of sweat while his forehead had a slight chill. His temples throbbed and were ufortable. He also had a few heart palpitations from when hed woken up.


    He opened his eyes and his field of view was pitch ck, without any light.


    He found something was amiss.


    The bed was hard, the thin quilt covering his body was soft, and it gave off a familiar, clean smell.


    Had a nightmare?


    The soft, husky voice was right beside his ear and very low, with a trace of displeasure from being awakened.


    Chu Yus breathing was sluggish as he tilted his head towards the source of the sound. Not quite sure, he questioned, Lu Shi?


    Hm.


    Lu Shi seemed to have turned sideways, and he asked again, What dream did you have?


    Chu Yu didnt want to exin it.


    In the darkness, a finger touched the tip of his nose and then moved under his eyes to wipe their moist ends.


    Sensing the warmth carried by the fingertips, Chu Yu shrank slightly, feeling as if he was scalded by sparks.


    Lu Shis voice was very soft.


    I heard you calling your mother, asking her why she gave up on you, and you cried.


    He really was a little crying bag.


    His most difficult feeling to reveal was exposed without fanfare.


    Lu Shi was like a sword or long spear which used its sharp de to tear open the bloodiest wound, not giving Chu Yu the slightest chance to dodge or take a breath.


    Chu Yu didnt speak.


    Hey on his side, with his legs bent and curled up an insecure posture.


    After a long time, Chu Yu softly said, Youreughing at me in your heart, arent you? For being so engrossed and dedicating myself to wasting so much time doing useless work.


    I thought that if I proved to her I was great, I could change her perception of me. But the truth is that shed already aloofly pronounced her sentence long before Id realized it andpletely abandoned me. Shed never look at me again.


    He suppressed his voice, bewildered and mocking himself.


    But as for me, I believed myself infallible and insisted on doing my best, racing headfirst into the south wall. I knocked my head until it bled, and only then did I wake up and see reality clearly.


    Im such a joke, truly ridiculous.


    Dont you think Im ridiculous?


    Lu Shi asked him, Remember what I told you?


    <i>No matter what the result is, youre not allowed to cry.</i>


    In the darkness, Lu Shis voice was like an ice spring mming against his eardrums.


    Since youve set a goal and are willing to see it through, you must recognize the risks involved. There are some things you cant do, but if you do your best, you can achieve your desired goal.


    Lu Shi paused, then spoke with his voice deep as the abyss, Get an answer and an ending, after all, when walking on a dark road, no matter what you do, the exit is far-fetched. That hopeless feeling of frailty is better.


    Chu Yu felt that Lu Shi seemed to be talking about himself.


    This was the first time he heard Lu Shi use this kind of tone.


    He didnt dare ask much more.


    Chu Yu instinctively realized that this was Lu Shis forbidden territory and no one was allowed to step into it.


    Turning over and lying t on the bed, Chu Yu stared at the ceiling, faintly seeing the outline of the ceilingmp.


    His chest rose and fell as he took a deep breath.


    Actually, this matter isnt a big deal, its not a big deal, right?


    Yeah.


    I thoughtpared to being given up, itd be harder for you to ept that you suddenly became a monster who needs to consume human blood.


    Chu Yu was strangelyforted.


    <i>Thats right, I have to rely on drinking blood to survive. What else could be a deal bigger than that?</i>


    He hadnt had a good nights sleep during this period, so he temporarily convinced himself. Chu Yu yawned.


    He wrapped the thin quilt tightly around himself and soon fell asleep dazedly.


    Early the next morning, before noise downstairs arose, Wei Guanglei knocked on the door of Lu Shis house.


    After a while, the door opened and Lu Shi stood at the front, irritation suppressed in between his brows.


    Knowing hed get annoyed when getting out of bed, Wei Guanglei quickly showed what he was holding in his hand. My mother boiled this soup for an entire night, and its especially fragrant. She told me to deliver it to you immediately so that you dont miss this piping hot delicacy!


    Lu Shi stepped aside.


    Wei Guanglei walked in. You


    As soon as he uttered a word, he was interrupted by Lu Shi. Dont talk.


    Huh? Wei Guanglei didnt understand and thought that his Lu-Ges symptoms of not being a morning person were getting more and more serious.


    Lu Shi felt toozy to exin so he pointed towards the bedroom.


    Wei Guanglei was baffled. He took two steps over and nced past the door.


    On the bed, there was a bulge and a boy was sunken in a soft pillow, half of his face exposed. He was wrapped tightly inside a quilt, sleeping soundly.


    It was Chu Yu.


    Beautiful people looked good even when they were fast asleep, Wei Guanglei pondered. If this scene was filled and casually thrown onto TV, it was estimated that it could be used to advertise mattresses, pillows, and so on.


    He just wanted to ask Lu Shi how the young master sleeping here came to be when his retreating line of sight suddenly froze.


    Fuck me.


    Wei Guanglei silently cursed.


    His eyes had stopped on Chu Yus exposed hand.


    Those very white fingers were holding a piece of clothing, a gray one.


    When all was taken into ount, Lu Shi didnt have a lot of clothes to change into.


    Wei Guanglei clearly remembered that his Lu-Ge owned two 100% cotton grey t-shirts. They bought them together and were used by Lu Shi as pajamas.


    Currently, one of them  hanging on the balcony to dry  was being blown to and fro by the wind.


    The other one was what Chu Yu was clutching in his arms to sleep.


    Looking back at the white T-shirt Lu Shi was wearing, a bit of an idea popped up in Wei Guangleis mind, but it wasnt that vivid.


    Moving over, Wei Guanglei lowered his voice and carefully asked Lu Shi, Lu-Ge, what the Young Master is clutching in his hand seems to be your shirt?


    Hm.


    Lu Shis expression was indifferent and he was restraining his temper from not quite yet being awake.


    He fell asleep while holding onto my shirt and wouldnt let go, so I just took it off and gave it to him.
