When Li Hua saw the exclusive red envelope sent by Lu Shi, he felt what it meant to be speechless. The group also fell silent; everyone seemed to be stunned as no one sent a message.
He cursed, Oh crap, its so exciting! Li Hua typed quickly.
Civilian Li Hua: [ss Representative Zhang Yueshan, Im not as generous as Lu-Shen, but since you only got 39 yuan pitifully, Ill give you half of mine.]
After two seconds, Li Hua sent out an exclusive red envelope designating Zhang Yueshan as receiver.
Zhang Yueshan responded very quickly and clicked to receive the red envelope.
ss Representative Zhang Yueshan: [I suddenly felt a spring-like warmth from my deskmate! But are you yourself? If youve been kidnapped, just blink!]
Civilian Li Hua: [Blink? You want a kick?]
Sports Committee Member Luo Jiaxuan: [Raising hand! I only got around 90 yuan! What about my deskmate, where are you! I also need rescue! I also needfort! I also want to feel the fiery heat from a deskmate! Roommate is okay too!]
Study Committee Member Fang Ziqi: [OK!]
Soon after, Fang Ziqi sent out an exclusive red envelope.
ss Representative Zhang Yueshan: [Hahahaha, Iughed my head off! Study Com, why did you send out a cent?!]
Sports Committee Member Luo Jiaxuan: [My heart has been pierced by my roommates coldness!]
Study Committee Member Fang Ziqi: [Thunder, rain and dew are all graces, my dear roommate, take them and spend them!]
Recreational Officer Yang Yuchan: [You all seem to act as if were blind]
Civilian Kong Yishan: [We also want to feign blindness, but its a bit difficult for these ministers and concubines, really cant do it]
Sports Committee Member Luo Jiaxuan: [What blind? Whos blind? No, arent we giving out red envelopes, what are you talking about, why cant I understand?]
Recreational Officer Yang Yuchan: []
The two students who air-dropped dog food in the ss chat had already put their phones in their pockets and were holding matches, preparing to light the fireworks.
Chu Yu was a little cowardly and confirmed again and again, Is this thing really not going to hit me in the face? Really?
Zhu Zhifeiughed. School Flower, dont be afraid! Just dont set off the fireworks towards your face, okay? Go go go and light it light it!
Chu Yu closed one eye, twirled the ignited match, and cautiously reached out to light the fuse.
The moment it lit, he jumped back a few steps like a rabbit, and ultimately leaned back into Lu Shis arms.
Lu Shi stretched out his hand to support Chu Yus waist and asked in a low voice, Throwing yourself into my arms?
Chu Yus ears failed to live up to expectations andpletely burned in less than two seconds.
After Chu Yu set off fireworks, skyrockets, and so on for half an hour, he was so addicted that he only remembered to check the ss group chat now.
The next round of grabbing red envelopes in the group chat was set at 00:00. Everyone was bored and were chatting with expression packs in the group. After a while, the messages were at 99+.
When Chu Yu entered, the group was discussing copying winter vacation homework.
Damn, their guts are quite big, I recall Old Ye was also in the group? Isnt this setting a fire in front of state officialsFrom, only the official is allowed to light the fire, themon people are forbidden. So setting a fire in front of the official is provoking authority.?
Lu Shi helped Chu Yu put away the matchbox. Old Ye was kicked out of the group eight minutes ago.
Chu Yuughed. Kicked out? Its a full setup! ss Rep will definitely go to Old Ye to apologize, saying Im sorry I just made a mistake, Ill add you back!
Sure enough, after discussing the topic of copying homework, Zhang Yueshan sent a message to the group, [Brothers and sisters, I will now visit Old Ye to offer a humble apology!]
After a while, Old Ye was added back again. It wasnt known what Zhang Yueshan had said, but Old Ye also generously sent six red envelopes in a row.
Chu Yu grabbed them all, but got less than a yuan in total.
<i>Pa pa,</i> he patted the back cover of his phone. Chu Yu deeply suspected that something was wrong with his cell!
The four of them stayed at the riverside until three oclock in the morning. When midnight of New Years Eve fell, Wei Guanglei suggested that everyone make a wish facing the river together.
Wei Guanglei made a trumpet shape with his hands around his mouth and shouted, I want to be first in the whole server! I want to draw a limited edition mount! I want to win first ce in the w doll contest! I wish business in the store will get better and better!
Zhu Zhifei yelled after, I want to surpass Lu-Ge and take first ce in the test!
Chu Yu originally wanted to yell along, but after hearing Zhu Zhifeis wish, he couldnt hold back and burst intoughter. The wind blew in, causing him to choke up and cough. When it finally died down, it was past midnight.
He said loudly to Zhu Zhifei, Hahaha, your wish is too difficult, the passerby deity expressed that he doesnt have enough magic power to fulfill it!
Wei Guanglei asked Chu Yu, Little Young Master, what wish did you want to shout just now?
I wish that in the new year, Ill make a lot of money and slowly be a very powerful person!
Chu Yus eyes carried a smile. But making a wish probably isnt very useful, so Ill put in effort myself!
Wei Guanglei then asked Lu Shi, How about Lu-Ge, did you make a wish?
He initially thought that Lu Shi didnt make one, but Lu Shi unexpectedly nodded.
Lu-Ge, can you reveal what you wished for?
Chu Yu was also interested, so he leaned beside Lu Shi and tugged at his jacket sleeve. What wish did you wish?
Lu Shi answered, I wished for Chu Yus safety in the new year.
<i>Chu Yus safety.</i>
Hearing these three words, Chu Yus fingers pinching the fabric of Lu Shis sleeve quietly tightened.
Calming down his suddenly stirred up mood, Chu Yu raised a smiling face toward Lu Shi. En! Itll definitelye true!
In the second half of the night, the fireworks and firecrackers were all finished. The four of them went back on Wei Guangleis three-wheeled motorcycle.
The vehicle was still bumpy and there was an undispersed smell of gunpowder, but everyone was happy.
Zhu Zhifei was too excited, so he extended his head out from the side and yelled at the roadside against the cold wind, Young men onwards ah
Choking on his saliva midway, Ling Yuns momentum folded halfwayQuoting a poem with the title . Im just not sure if Lingyun is referring to a person or a ce. Based on context it means, vigor suddenly losing momentum..
Chu Yu fell into Lu Shis arms with a smile. I, damn, did you alle down from heaven to get people tough?
The tattered three-wheeled motorcycle couldnt bear the tossing as its center of gravity was unstable. Wei Guanglei yelled from the drivers seat, Shit, you guys in the back sit the fuck down quickly, dont sway around! Its gonna flip over, fuck!
After the Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival was fast approaching and students began returning to school.
Chu Yu went home to pack his luggage, and Aunt Lan, who hadnt seen him for a long time, couldnt stop talking about how young master has lost weight. Chu Yu deliberately looked in the mirror and thought it wasnt obvious that hed lost weight, and that he still looked good anyway.
The Rolls-Royce drove to the street in front of Jianing Private School. Because many dormitory students were returning to school early, a long line of private cars were blocking the road again.
Chu Yu was patient, neither anxious nor hot-tempered. He first sent a message to Lu Shi saying he was stuck outside the school gate, then chatted with Yang Yuchan about a few things regarding the project.
When they finally reached the gate of the school, Chu Yu exited the car, carried his suitcase, bowed to Aunt Lan, and said, Aunt Lan, you and Uncle Chen can go back first, its cold outside, so you dont have to send me in.
Aunt Lan had helped Chu Yu clean up his dorm room the day before, so she didnt stubbornly want to get out of the car. Seeing Chu Yu wearing a school uniform with a clear, bright smile, she couldnt help but babble, Time flies, the young master has suddenly grown up and is sensible, doesnt want us to worry
When Chu Yu dragged his suitcase upstairs, he heard howls and shouts here and there along the way.
Arent there only 20 papers for the English homework? Why the hell do you want to copy?
Mathematics, English and Physics, I finished these three subjects and Im at my limit!
Who the hell finished their math papers? You borrowed mine and copied it, this great favor will definitely be repaid in the next life!
As soon as he reached the top of the stairs, Chu Yu met Dream-Ge and Zhang Yueshan.
Dream-Ge stretched out his arms to say hello. School Flower! I havent seen you since winter vacation, I missed your face very much! After speaking, he raised the stack of papers in his hand. Wanna copy?
Zhang Yueshan recalled, School Flower is probably going to copy from Lu-Shen, right?
Chu Yu put his suitcase aside and lifted his chin. I wont copy, Ive finished my winter vacation homework.
Youre all done? School Flower, the speed at which you copy homework Finding something wrong, Dream-Ge stopped. Wait, you finished your homework by yourself?
Chu Yu proudly snapped his fingers. Of course!
Speaking of which, he was extremely awesome, but Chu Yu was clear that there was a fuck ton of bitterness behind it.
Especially in mathematics and physics, when hed looked at the questions on the paper, his eyes would ck out. If it wasnt for Lu Shis counseling, Chu Yu believed that he wouldve died in that pile of papers.
Lu Shi arrived with Zhu Zhifei.
Zhu Zhifei attended a cram school for the entirety of winter vacation, so he didnt have time to do his winter vacation homework. He slept little, making the color of the dark circles under his eyes frighteningly richer.
Chu Yu was startled when he saw him. Why do I feel like Zhu Zhifei looks more like a vampire than me?
Zhu Zhifeis mind was dazed as most of the papers were stuffed in it. He didnt hear him clearly, so he adjusted his sses and asked weakly, What did you say, School Flower?
Chu Yu shook his head quickly. Its nothing, I was justmenting how scary your dark circles are.
Glimpsing Lu Shis exposed neck, Chu Yu took off his scarf and directly wrapped it around Lu Shis neck.
Since thest time Lu Shi had a fever, hed developed a little psychological shadow, resulting in him being eager to wrap Lu Shi in three to four down jackets before going out.
Lu Shi cooperatively lowered his head and let him work.
On the first day of school, many students were sporting dark circles under their eyes.
Li Hua spun the pen in his hand and murmured, I actually dont understand. Even if I copy the words five times, those I can write, I still can write, and those I cant write, I still cant write. Whats the point of this homework?
Chu Yu assumed, Probably the English teacher thought that youd try to memorize the words you couldnt memorize while copying words?
Li Huamented with an idiom, Shes delusional!: lit. infatuated with delusion. Set expressions/idiom are usually four letter words.
Two weeks into the start of the school, everyone was very out of shape. They slept in and arrivedte in the morning, dozed off in ss, and were absent-minded during the entire lecture. The school principal was on the campus broadcast every day, sorrowfully telling everyone to say goodbye to winter vacation syndrome and embrace campus life as soon as possible.
Chu Yus winter vacation syndrome wasnt good either. His hands itched and he always wanted to find an opportunity to set off fireworks by the Qingchuan River. After carefully reflecting on it, he spurned himself for being almost 18 yet still so enthusiastic about childrens activities.
Taking a deep breath, he opened his book again, and held the pen in his hand to solve the difficult questions.
The phone on the desk vibrated. Chu Yu didnt lift his head, but rather shouted, Lu Shi, your phone has a message!
Lu Shi replied, Read it for me.
Putting down his pen, Chu Yu entered the password and opened the phone. After reading the message, he couldnt sit still and got up to run to the bathroom door. He told Lu Shi, who was taking a shower inside, It seems like a message from the detective you hired. He said Fang Weishan was released, Lu Shaochu mediated with connections and stuffed arge sum of money.
After a while, the door to the bathroom opened. Lu Shi was carrying a white bath towel, his hair was still wet, and only ck pants fitted the lower part of his body.
He was covered in water vapor. The water droplets from his hair dripped from the ends, fell to his corbone, and down across his chest, winding to his abdominal muscles.
Chu Yus attention waspletely attracted.
He used rationality to force his attention away from the charm, ran to the edge of the closet in two steps, found a ck jacket, and covered Lu Shi.
Having just finished taking a shower, Lu Shi disliked being hot, so he wore it loosely without pulling the zipper up, frankly revealing his strong chest, waist, and stomach.
After taking the phone, Lu Shi read the message. Lu Shaochu is quite fast.
Chu Yu took his eyes off of Lu Shis abdominal muscles with difficulty and supplemented, Lu Shaochus thoughts are really easy to figure out. In the first ce, they currently dont even know that youre the one behind it, therefore, when Lu Shaochu faces Fang Weishan, hed probably say that the fundamental reason why his sister was sentenced was because someone was eyeing the Lu family. First, show off a wave of misery, then make Fang Weishan join the opposition of the same enemy, and deal with this enemy who they didnt have any inkling of.
Lu Shi held the phone, full of interest, Then?
The Fang familys reputation will sour due to this matter, and they wont have an easy time for a few years to say the least. Lu Shaochu extended an olive branch and Fang Weishan, who was in trouble, could only gratefully take it. After all, he and the Fang family both temporarily rely on Lu Shaochus help and assistance.
Seeing Lu Shi nod, Chu Yu continued, Lu Shaochu is probably rejoicing. If he casually throws a bone or two pieces of meat, hed have a loyal and dedicated dog, so why wouldnt he do it?
After Chu Yus analysis, he touched his chin and suddenly sighed, <i>Yi</i>, I suddenly feel like Im pretty smart!
Lu Shis lips hooked up and he raised a hand to stroke Chu Yus soft hair.
Chu Yu was never stupid, on the contrary, hed always been smart. It was just that his previous mentality and environment didnt require him to think about a lot of issues.
Moreover, his family was destined to influence him with all kinds of invisible rules and interpersonal rtionships since childhood.
These were things engraved in the bones. When needed, they yed a huge role just like instinct.
Lu Shis eyshes were still a bit wet and his voice was soft and slow. Unfortunately, if this dog turns around and bites Lu Shaochu, blood to bone, say, will Lu Shaochu still rejoice?
Chu Yu only needed a hint to understand.
Hed been curious about it before, when and how Lu Shi was going to deal with Lu Shaochu.
Apparently, he was intending to use Fang Weishan as a knife and insert him deeply into Lu Shaochus ribs?
Lu Shi had obviously been waiting, waiting for Lu Shaochu to bring Fang Weishan out.
Thinking of this, Chu Yu raised his eyes to see Lu Shis countenance.
When Lu Shi schemed against people, he never showed too many expressions. His eyes were calm, not impatient or anxious, and he possessed this strong self-confidence that everything was under control.
His heart suddenly throbbed.
Chu Yu had always known that Lu Shi really wasnt the kind type, he didnt have that much leniency and generosity.
Instead, he was possessive, paranoid, gloomy, and extremely good at being maniptive.
But he didnt take human life lightly, and he had bottom lines and principles.
These traits were somewhat contradictory when ced on a single person.
But this kind of Lu Shi was fatally attractive to Chu Yu.
Chu Yus Adams apple moved up and down.
He wanted to say something, but he hummed and hawed, hesitating to voice it.
Lu Shis wet hair dripped with drops of water for a long time, sliding from his corbone to his chest, down to the lines of his pectoral muscles, past his abdominal muscles, and ultimately seeping into his ck pants waistband.
Chu Yus line of sight followed down inch by inch, and finally stopped at the wetted point of the waistband, not daring to go down any further.
He didnt do it on purpose, but his gaze was akin to essence, teasing Lu Shis mouth and tongue dry, even bursting into mes.
Lu Shis eyebrows were pushed down with a bit of impatience.
Seeing Chu Yus drooping eyshes, his gaze pure and focused, the fire couldnt be suppressed.
Lu Shi bent his fingers, pinched Chu Yus chin, and held it up until their eyes met.
What are you looking at, hmm?
Chu Yu didnt dare say hed run through a whole little yellow book in his mind just now. As he was in the midst of restless adolescence, Chu Yus little colored thoughts continued to flourish, and it became increasingly difficult for him to calm down.
I I
At that moment, the fingers holding Chu Yus chin tightened a tad bit, and Lu Shi approached inch by inch until the tips of their noses touched.
His voice was husky as he said seductively, What do you want to see, Gege will show you.
