Bite Your Fingertips
Chapter 27
When Chu Yu entered the classroom, even Li Hua had not arrived yet. Most of the seats were empty.
Zhang Yueshan was memorizing classical Chinese when he inadvertently saw Chu Yu enter the classroom. He rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself, "F * ck, did I do too many questions last night and am having hysterics this early in the morning?"
Chu Yu slept late last night, but he was in good spirits. He spread his fingers and waved his hand in front of Zhang Yueshan's eyes. "Three, two, one — class monitor, come back to your senses!"
Zhang Yueshan cooperated and leaned back. He turned around and saw Chu Yu put his heavy bag on the desk. "That's strange. Why are you so early today, campus belle?"
"Because from today onwards, I'm going to study hard!"
As he spoke, Chu Yu took out a wet wipe and wiped the desk. When he was done, he wiped it again with tissue paper.
Then, he took out a brand new pen from his bag. It was colorful and arranged from long to short.
His bag was like a treasure chest. Chu Yu took out a ruler, eraser, pencil, pencil sharpener, highlighter, printed paper, notebook, post-it notes, and even a telescope!
Zhang Yueshan pointed at the pile of stationery. "This pile is?"
"Preparation work for studying hard!
It's complete, right?
It took me more than 20 minutes to choose this draft paper!
Doesn't one of the beautiful sentences often used in essays say that opportunity only favors those who are prepared?
If I prepare so well, opportunity will definitely favor me! "
Zhang Yueshan felt that it made sense. He turned his finger and pointed at the telescope. "Then … this?"
"I'm sitting at the back, so I might not be able to see the small words on the teacher's PowerPoint.
I definitely can't miss any moment of learning, so I prepared this telescope! "
Zhang Yueshan savored these words in his mind and felt that it made sense!
But who the hell uses binoculars in class? Are you sitting on the field?
Or are you actually trying to see the mole under Old Ye's eye?
Campus belle, you're very creative!
What kind of high-end operation was this?!
Lu Shi came late today. Chu Yu waited for a long time before he finally arrived.
Chu Yu took out a blue thermos flask with Doraemon printed on it and handed it to Lu Shi. "Today's chicken soup!"
The top three buttons of Lu Shi's white shirt were unbuttoned, revealing the outline of her collarbone.
His expression was very cold, and there was a bit of irritation between his brows. He didn't say anything.
She took the thermos flask in her hand and put down the black school bag that was slung over her shoulder. Then, she lay on the desk and closed her eyes to sleep.
Seeing Lu Shi frowning slightly, Chu Yu was worried. "Lu Shi, you … didn't sleep well?"
Zhang Yueshan sucked in a breath of air. Watching this scene from the front, he was scared witless.
In the past, almost everyone in the branch knew that Lu Shi had a bad temper when she woke up. Her temper that day was directly related to whether she had slept well.
During the first semester of the first year of high school, Lu Shi was lying on her desk to catch up on her sleep during class.
There was a tall and strong boy who was known as a "bro" in school. When he heard that Lu Shi was recognized as the school hunk, he was not convinced and brought a few of his underlings to provoke her.
The boy stood in the aisle and slammed Lu Shi's desk. Bang bang bang! He shouted and asked Lu Shi to raise his head and show everyone if he was worthy of the title of the school hunk.
Lu Shi did not raise her head at that time, but she accurately grabbed the boy's wrist. Before anyone could see what she did, they heard a painful cry. The boy, who was more than 1.8 meters tall and full of muscles, was thrown into the sanitary corner at the back of the classroom by Lu Shi. His dislocated wrist was in a sling as he lay on a broom and a mop. His face was full of shock and fear, and he did not get up for a long time.
According to many people at the scene, Lu Shi's expression was very scary.
In the next few days, many people would rather take a detour when they saw Lu Shi sleeping than walk past Lu Shi's desk. They were afraid that they would also end up in the sanitary corner.
Just as Zhang Yueshan was filled with worry, he heard Chu Yu ask worriedly, "Are you still feeling unwell?
Lu Shi, are you anemic?
Are you dizzy? "
Zhang Yueshan was already prepared to pull the school belle away if the situation went south.
Then he saw Lu Shi, who was lying on her stomach, prop her back up. She looked at Chu Yu with half-closed eyes. "Yeah, I couldn't sleep last night.
I'm not anemic. "
Her voice sounded obviously hoarser than usual and she sounded tired.
Chu Yu sighed in relief. "That's good. Lie down for a while. I'll wake you up when the teacher comes."
"Okay."
Everything was calm.
Zhang Yueshan felt as if he had a pair of artificial eyes.
It wasn't until the third period that Lu Shi finally sat up and stopped sleeping.
After drinking half a cup of black chicken soup, Lu Shi pulled out a light blue notebook from the pile of exercise books beside her and handed it to Chu Yu. "Take a look."
Chu Yu was confused. He took the notebook and flipped it open. The more he read, the bigger his eyes widened.
After quickly flipping through more than ten pages, he suddenly turned to Lu Shi. "This is —"
"Didn't you say you wanted to give it a try?"
"Last night —"
Lu Shi looked indifferent. "I couldn't sleep. It was too boring. I had to find something to do."
Chu Yu was speechless for a moment.
There were more than twenty pages of review materials in the notebook. Every word was handwritten.
The knowledge points were divided into categories and were organized clearly. Below each point was a question type, specific solution, and precautions. Even the function diagrams next to it were drawn very accurately.
The handwriting on the paper was neat, and there was a kind of fierce beauty in it.
He didn't know how long it would take Lu Shi to organize these knowledge points and question types and how much effort it would take.
Last night on the road in the wee hours of the morning, Lu Shi stopped the car, turned to look at him, and said, "I'll help you, but no matter what the result is, you're not allowed to cry."
Lu Shi twirled the pencil in her hand. "Read it first. Ask me if you don't understand anything."
Hearing this, Chu Yu felt as if his blood was boiling. He was suddenly full of confidence. "Okay!"
However, reality always gave people a head-on blow.
After spending most of the morning, Chu Yu finally finished reading the twenty pages of knowledge points.
He turned around and told his desk, "I'm done."
Lu Shi closed the exercise book and asked him, "What do you not understand?"
Chu Yu pointed to the first page. "Here."
He turned two pages. "Here and here."
Then he turned six pages. "Here."
Finally, he turned to the second last page. "And here."
"You don't understand these?"
"No." Chu Yu was very honest. "Other than these, I don't understand anything else."
Even Chu Yu himself felt that he was a noob, but Lu Shi wasn't surprised at all.
He just tapped the table with the pencil and told Chu Yu, "Come to my dorm tonight. I'll give you tutoring."
That night.
After taking a quick shower, Chu Yu put on his pajamas, picked out a few of the nicest pens, a few pages of printed draft paper, and a notebook. Then he rushed to Lu Shi's dorm.
The two chairs were placed side by side in front of the desk. Chu Yu consciously went to the right and sat upright. His pair of light-colored eyes looked at the ground. Under the reflection of the table lamp, the amber light inside seemed to sway and overflow.
Lu Shi asked him, "Are you having fun tutoring?"
"Yes!"
Chu Yu took out a glass bottle from his pocket, inserted a straw into it, and handed it to Lu Shi. "This is the third bottle of oral liquid for blood today."
Lu Shi held his hand, lowered his head, bit the straw, and drank it.
Chu Yu was used to this. When Lu Shi finished drinking, he threw the empty bottle into the trash can.
The two of them rubbed shoulders and started tutoring.
After a while, Chu Yu realized that he could understand almost all of Lu Shi's points.
Damn, is this the power of being a prodigy?
Or am I actually a smart, talented, and good-looking young genius who was held back in the past?
He couldn't concentrate easily. After listening for a while, he stared at Lu Shi's hand that was holding the pen.
"Chu Yu."
"Huh?"
Lu Shi saw that he was distracted and didn't talk about any new points.
He took an exercise book, opened it, picked up the pen, and ticked off 20 questions. "Done."
"Okay."
Seeing Lu Shi get up, Chu Yu quickly asked, "What about you?"
"I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up when you're done."
The dorm room quieted down. Only the sound of the tip of the pen rubbing against the paper could be heard.
Chu Yu finished three questions in one go and felt a sense of accomplishment.
In the past, when he was doing mathematics, he would first write down the solution and then review the questions. If he didn't understand, he would write down the solution to the next question.
Or after a mathematics exam, the other students would be discussing whether to choose B or C for a certain question.
At this time, Chu Yu would be deep in thought. Have I seen this question before?
Have I really seen it before?
Could it be that I didn't do the same set of papers as you guys?
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that he had risen to a higher level. Not only did he recognize these words, but he also knew the meaning of these words when they were connected together!
Chu Yu, you're amazing!
By the time he finished the 20 questions that Lu Shi had ticked, more than an hour had passed.
Chu Yu stretched, put down his pen, and turned to look at Lu Shi.
On the bed, a thin, light gray quilt was spread out. Lu Shi was lying on his side facing the desk with his eyes closed.
There was only one desk lamp in the dorm room, so the range of light was limited.
In the dim light, he could barely see Lu Shi's side profile.
His skin was cold and fair, and there were light blue veins on his forehead.
When his eyes were closed, the ends of his eyes were long and narrow. His eyelashes were drooping, thick and dense.
His eyebrows were high, and his facial features were sharp.
He didn't sleep well the night before, so there were faint blue shadows under his eyes. He didn't know if he was dreaming. His brows were furrowed, and he didn't look very happy.
The sleeping Lu Shi didn't have the coldness and sharpness that he had during the day.
He even seemed gentle and harmless.
Chu Yu squatted by the bed and stared at Lu Shi in a daze for a while.
Then he began to hesitate. Should he do as Lu Shi said and wake him up after he finished the questions?
Chu Yu couldn't bear to do that.
He always felt that Lu Shi seemed to be carrying something very heavy on his shoulders. It made him unable to be happy even if he wanted to.
Only in sleep could he relieve the heavy burden and get a short respite.
Forget it.
Chu Yu didn't want to wake Lu Shi up. He wanted to let him sleep well and go back first.
As for the hunger and low fever from his thirst for blood, he could endure it for a while.
Standing up, Chu Yu bent down again and gently adjusted the quilt for Lu Shi.
Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
A strong force pulled him down. Unable to resist, Chu Yu instantly lost his balance and fell unsteadily on the bed. His head rubbed against Lu Shi's shoulder and hit the pillow.
Lu Shi's voice sounded sleepy. His lips were close to Chu Yu's ear. "Are you done?"
His warm breath brushed against his sensitive skin. It was numb and itchy.
Chu Yu instinctively trembled.
When he didn't hear an answer, Lu Shi's eyes were half-closed. His eyes were dark as he looked at Chu Yu. "So you're hungry?"
Then, Chu Yu felt Lu Shi's slightly cold fingertips against his lips. He even unconsciously wiped his lips.
It was very itchy.
Chu Yu held his breath.
"Hmm?"
Lu Shi's nasal voice sounded tired. He seemed to be impatient and urging him.
Chu Yu woke up. He subconsciously opened his lips slightly and bit Lu Shi's fingertips.
