Chapter 56: Someone to look after<blockquote>


    56th -Someone to look after</blockquote>


    After returning to Lu Shis house together, Chu Yu was still a little restless.


    He didnt know exactly what he was feeling. When he was within half a meter of Lu Shi, his mind would be somewhat muddled.


    Worried that he would say something weird, Chu Yu thought hard until inspiration shed. I thats right, Ill go take a bath!


    Seeing him eagerly enter the bathroom like a rabbit, Lu Shi didnt speak.


    After the bathroom door was closed, the sound of the shower sprinkling and a faint humming tone followed. Lu Shi went to the bedroom, found his pajamas from the closet, brought it over to the bathroom door and knocked.


    Chu Yu, who was rubbing bubbles on his body, was startled when he heard the knock on the door.


    He took two steps and carefully stood by the door. You are you going toe in?


    After asking, he suddenly realized that his sentence was ambiguous.


    What he obviously wanted to ask was, Lu Shi, do you want to use the bathroom!


    Sure enough, Lu Shis voice carried a hint of a smile. Wonte in, just keep bathing.


    ??


    Fuq, this answer seemed to imply that he was inviting Lu Shi toe in and shower together!


    Inside the bathroom filled with steam, the skin on Chu Yus face and body was flushed a light red. He asked in a steady voice, Then is something the matter?


    Pajamas.


    Only then did Chu Yu realize that he slipped in to take a bath without taking anything with him.


    Opening a crack in the door, Chu Yu stretched his hand out with difficulty, grabbed the fabric, and quickly pulled back his hand.


    The door closed again, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.


    However, as he looked at the clothes he was holding, Chu Yus thoughts couldnt help but diverge.


    Wearing Lu Shis clothes, its a bit like being hugged.


    <i>Stop your brain right now, Chu Yu, what were you thinking about? Its just putting on clothes, hug, what hug?</i>


    In the end, he still couldnt hold on to his rationality. Chu Yu grabbed Lu Shis pajamas, and finally couldnt help it. He ced it on the tip of his nose and sniffed.


    When Chu Yu came out after taking a shower and putting on the pajamas, the room was already warmed-up by the air-conditioner.


    Lu Shi was sitting before the desk with his legs up, holding a book of questions, and pinching a pencil to answer.


    Lu Shi lifted his eyelids, an undistinguishable look in his eyes. Chu Yu was quite concerned about this look, so he raised his hand and stretched his legs, wondering, Your pajamas are a size bigger than I am. Whats wrong? It doesnt look good?


    He even worked very hard to sort out his hair that he had just blow-dried.


    Looks good.


    Lu Shi liked Chu Yu wearing his clothes and being covered with his scent.


    At that moment, a phone suddenly beeped.


    Lu Shi took it in his hand and tapped on the screen. A few secondster, Chu Yu suddenly heard a familiar female voiceing from the phone. The voice was not very clear, and there was even a faint static buzzing in.


    <i>I havent been able to sleep well these days.</i>


    It really was that stepmother of Lu Shi!


    Chu Yu understood promptly. Lu Shi was listening in on his stepmothers call.


    Realizing that his presence was not suitable here, Chu Yu turned around and prepared to go out. He and Lu Shi were indeed close, but when ites to this kind of thing, he decided to keep away from it.


    Unexpectedly, Lu Shi was clearly staring at the phone, but as if he had a third eye, he easily grabbed his hand and loosely held his wrist.


    He obviously didnt use that much effort, but Chu Yu couldnt struggle free.


    Knowing what Lu Shi meant, Chu Yu let Lu Shi pull him. He stood still and they listened to the voice on the phone together.


    Fang Weiyuns tone was weak and a little anxious. <i>It rained every day during this time, just like that night </i>Realizing something, she stopped talking, and changed her speech, <i>The noise agitates me. Dr. Sun, the medicine you prescribedst time was useless, I still couldnt sleep.</i>


    The person called Dr. Sun was very patient.<i> Mrs. Lu, we have already discussed this issue. Your current situation is not suitable for increasing the dose. You cant sleep well on rainy days, its not a problem thats been going on for three or five years, you see. Do you want to go on vacation?</i>


    <i>How dare I go on vacation? When Ie back after a month or two of being out, its not certain that my position as Mrs. Lu can still be kept! </i>There was sarcasm in her tone.<i> The woman my husband raised outside jumps around practically everyday. Not even looking in the mirror to see what kind of witch she is, and she still wants to marry into the Lu family? To even dare think about it, her heart is higher than the sky!</i>1The whole proverb is: A heart is higher than the sky, and a fate thinner than paper. It means having lofty ambitions but a trash fate. Ones life and death is beyond ones control, one is born poor and lowly, unable to realize their ambitions and will die poor and lowly as well.


    <i>Feng Luwei?</i>


    Fang Weiyun replied in contempt, <i>It hasnt been this Miss Feng for a long time. Thetest one is reportedly a mixed-race model named Iris who acts awfully coquettish.</i>


    Chu Yu strived to piece together the information.


    This person called Doctor Sun was probably Lu Shis stepmothers shrink.


    Fang Weiyun was recently suffering from insomnia and couldnt sleep even after taking medicine. The reason was the rain and Lu Shis father raising a lover outside.


    Rain; why would she be insomniac when it rains? And thetter half of the sentence Fang Weiyun didnt finish, like that night, which night was it?


    Thinking of this, Chu Yu quietly looked at Lu Shis profile and found that Lu Shis expression hadnt changed at all after hearing those things, as if he wasalready used to it.


    Chu Yu felt a bit distressed.


    Fang Weiyunined that her husband changed his lover like changing his clothes and said a few more words before hanging up the phone.


    Lu Shi held Chu Yus wrist in one hand without letting go and threw his phone onto the table with the other.


    Lu Shi turned his head to meet Chu Yus meaningful eyes and exined in a few words, Ive known since I was just a child that Lu Shaochu has a lot of lovers outside.


    Thats why Fang Weiyun always scolded him for having filthy blood flowing in his body. He believed that it was Fang Weiyuns disgust and resentment against Lu Shaochus lover-raising behavior that would make her scold him like this.


    He even felt sorry for Fang Weiyun and allowed her to insult him in hopes of making her feel better.


    His former self was truly naively and stupidly ridiculous.


    Chu Yu was puzzled. Then does Fang Weiyun not care?


    Chu Yus family was in a special situation. His father unexpectedly died before he was born, so he had no reference.


    But as far as he knew, for example, at He Zhihaos home, He Zhihaos father used to keep a lover outside, but then He Zhihaos mother caught them in the act. In the chaos, she instructed people to strike He Zhihaos fathers leg to give it a slight fracture, causing him toy in the hospital for a long time.


    She doesnt dare care.


    Chu Yu didnt understand. Doesnt dare? Why?


    Lu Shis fingers gently stroked the delicate white skin on Chu Yus wrist, as if suppressing something.


    Lu Shaochu once said to Fang Weiyun, Lu Shis voice became softer, What? Do you want to kill another one?


    Was he implying that Fang Weiyun has ck material Chu Yu abruptly went silent.


    A bucket of water containing ice poured down his head, making him shiver from the inside out.


    If it was kill another one, then who was the first person that was killed?


    Lu Shis father knew about this, and even used this to threaten Fang Weiyun to keep her quiet and not point fingers at him for keeping lovers.


    Fang Weiyun dared not make a move out of fear of the consequences.


    Chu Yus throat felt astringent. But but arent they husband and wife? Your mother, a-and


    Yeah, theyre an officially wedded, deeply affectionate husband and wife.


    Lu Shis hand moved down from Chu Yus wrist inch by inch, until he finally squeezed Chu Yus fingers and carefully fiddled with it. His drooping eyelids concealed his eyes and emotions.


    So,pared to monsters, people are a more terrifying existence, arent they?


    Chu Yu was pulled back to that rainy night in an instant. In the park in the middle of its street, he was terrified because of the awakening of his bloodthirst. This was exactly how Lu Shiforted him.


    At that time, he only felt that there were too many things he couldnt understand hidden inside Lu Shis pitch-ck eyes.


    Until now, he only understood so little.


    The tip of his heart seemed to have been cut by a blunt knife. Chu Yu learned from Lu Shis actions and reached out to rub his hair. Dont be afraid.


    Seeing Chu Yu coax himself earnestly, Lu Shis lips curled up in a smile. He sat loosely and spoke in a ck tone. Who said I was scared?


    Being asked this way, Chu Yu felt that it seemed to be correct.


    Lu Shi was not afraid, he wanted revenge.


    He was about to say something tofort Lu Shi when he felt Lu Shi gently knead his fingertips. He raised his thin eyelids, and said, Do you think I am as timid and a crybaby like you?


    ???


    Chu Yu was very angry!


    Whos timid? Whos a crybaby? Is that how I am in your eyes? Lu Shi, I will give you another chance, so speak properly!


    Lu Shi felt like he had been scratched by the kitten that was baring its teeth and ws.


    He stared at Chu Yu with an unrestrained smile in his eyes, and finally, he reached out and squeezed Chu Yus face. Mm, dont be angry.


    The next day, Chu Yu slept until noon, then he washed his face, changed clothes, and followed Lu Shi out to find food.


    Chu Yu rubbed his eyes and muttered, The weather is getting colder and its getting harder and harder to get out of bed. I really want to stay for life in bed with the quilt


    Lu Shi, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at him, Stay for life?


    Feeling that this tone was inexplicably dangerous, Chu Yu subconsciously corrected his words, Then linger around?


    At that time, someone called Lu Shis name.


    Chu Yu turned his head and saw a man with a strong build, sporting a buzz cut with a scar on the corner of one eye, standing beside the street wearing a leather jacket. Chu Yu recognized the person at a nce. It seems to be that man named- named Brother Lie! Yes, its Brother Lie.


    Chu Yu had an impression of this man whom he met that time in the underground race.


    The two went over.


    Brother Lie had been standing in front of a noodle restaurant and was just about to go in. After saying hello, he asked Lu Shi in a rough voice, Are you going to take your little ssmate with you?


    He then said to Chu Yu, Dont judge this shop by its dirt and shabbiness, their food is really good. Ive been eating it for almost ten years and still havent gotten tired of it. My treat, how about giving me face?


    Chu Yu didnt agree without permission. Only after Lu Shi lifted his foot and walked in did he smile and reply, Okay, then Ill trouble you to spend money.


    There was no one in the store. The menu on the wall had only two kinds of noodles in total, which was very willful of them. Their group of three sat down, and ordered a bowl each.


    Brother Lie took out a silver-gray metal lighter, spun it around in his hand, and said to Lu Shi, Wanna go out for a smoke?


    Knowing that there was something they were going to talk about, Lu Shi got up and followed.


    The two stood along the street.


    There was no sun, and the old buildings on Qingchuan Road seemed as if ced in a dusty background.


    Brother Lie fished out a box of soft zhonghuaA brand of cigarette. and skillfully ced one in his mouth and ignited it. After inhaling a mouthful, he breathed out white smoke. He raised his eyebrows at Lu Shi. I heard what you did yesterday, that youve pierced someones hand?


    En, too noisy.


    Brother Lies smile deepened, causing the scar on the corner of his eyes to appear sinister. People from their side came to me early this morning. Guess they were scared by you so they didnt dare look for you directly and instead came running to talk to me. I told them that you dont have beef with me so it was useless to find me, and I woulde talk to you personally if there ever was anything. Besides, if someones cheap mouth got a beating, they have to learn to admit their wrongs. That bunch of people mored for a long time before finally going back.


    Having learned that Brother Lie had helped him with the matter, Lu Shi thanked him.


    Brother Lie flicked the soot and waved his hand. It wasnt a big deal, youve helped me more than once or twice.


    He proceeded to talk about the main topic, Im looking for you mainly because therell be a race soon. The one on my side was injured a few days ago because their car overturned. That persons still in the hospital. As for the rest, you know already, yellow doesnt reach greenThe yellow autumn crop doesntst until the green spring crop. Theres a temporary deficit in manpower., theres no two people who can undertake the task. If youre avable, would you like to race twops on the track? The prize money is high, and the date is on Saturday night, which wont dy your schooling.


    Lu Shi refused without a hesitation, I cant.


    Brother Lies hand that was holding the cigarette paused. He wondered, Is there a conflict in your schedule? Or do you guys have an exam?


    He knew Lu Shi. He was young, but he would never cower. His driving was wild. He would also dare to drive under heavy rain. He admired Lu Shis ferociousness.


    Is this a change in character right now?


    No.


    Lu Shi casually ced his hands in his trouser pockets before replying sinctly, Theres someone to look after, so Im not allowed on the track.


    The author has something to say: Heres a dazzling little heart~<strong>Xena updates</strong>Sorry you guys, I said I was gonna updatest week but after exams, things happened.
