The lights were turned on.

Chu Yu came back to life in a second.

Pulling open the drawer, it was filled to the brim with blood-replenishing oral liquids.

Chu Yu took one out and inserted the straw. Seeing that Lu Shi was still sitting on the carpet, he sat down and put the straw to Lu Shi's lips. "Drink it."

Lu Shi bit the straw and drank it. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

Seeing that Lu Shi's shoulders and collarbones were still exposed, Chu Yu couldn't help but reach out to help him fix his collar.

He remembered that he had just pressed him to the ground and felt a little embarrassed.

Chu Yu squeezed the brown glass bottle of oral fluids in his hand and squeezed it. He asked hesitantly, "How … did it go? Did it go well?"

"Yes, it went well."

Lu Shi got up and looked down at him. "Sleep early. I'm leaving."

"Okay."

After Chu Yu answered, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. "Where are you going?"

Lu Shi put his hand on the door handle and turned to look at Chu Yu. He put his index finger on his lips and said, "Shh, pretend that I didn't come back."

Lu Shi took advantage of the fact that he had applied for leave and skipped class.

This was Chu Yu's conclusion the next afternoon.

The desk behind him had been empty all this time.

The math teacher was talking about the monthly exam. When he reached the second to last question, he asked habitually, "Lu Shi, tell me, what's your idea and solution to this question?"

Meng Ge raised his hand and reminded loudly, "Teacher, the person you want to see is not here!"

"Lu Shi is still not back?"

The math teacher looked at Meng Ge. "Then, Lu Jiaxuan, please put down your binoculars and tell us your idea."

The binoculars that Chu Yu had prepared for his studies were borrowed by Meng Ge.

The reason was that Meng Ge suddenly realized that he seemed to be slightly short-sighted.

However, he was too tall. If he sat in front, he would block the view of the students behind him. Old Ye did not allow him to change seats.

Therefore, he asked to borrow Chu Yu's binoculars.

Chu Yu didn't need it himself, so he generously lent it to Meng Ge.

Meng Ge stood up with his binoculars and scratched his head. He picked up the test paper and looked at the question carefully. He answered, "When I saw this question, I thought it looked familiar!

I did it!

So I tried my best to recall and think. What was the standard answer again?

Unfortunately, when the exam ended and I handed in my paper, I didn't even think about it.

Therefore, Teacher, I have no idea how to answer this question. "

The math teacher praised, "Not bad. At least you know that you've done these questions before. Sit down."

After class, Meng Ge rushed forward and jumped to Chu Yu's desk. "Hey, campus belle, where did God Lu go? Why isn't he back yet?

I haven't seen you for two or three days. I miss you. "

Chu Yu held the comic book and looked up. "Why are you all asking me?

I don't know either. "

"You're the only one in our class who's close to God Lu. But if you don't even know the campus belle, then God Lu's whereabouts are really a mystery."

Meng Ge touched his chin and pulled Zhang Yueshan's chair. "Basketball court at noon?

Are you coming or not? "

There was still some time before the next monthly exam, so there was no urgent study task. Zhang Yueshan agreed immediately. "Let's go!"

Chu Yu lowered her head and continued reading her comic book.

However, Meng Ge and Zhang Yueshan's basketball agreement did not come to fruition.

Meng Ge held the basketball with his five fingers and stood in the corridor. He stretched out his hand to test the water. "Isn't this rain too heavy?

Could it be that God wants to test whether my willpower is strong enough to let me dunk in the rain? "

Zhang Yueshan stood firm. "I won't play basketball with you in the rain."

Meng Ge turned off the engine. "Okay, it's a pity that the future star player of my generation is blocked by the weather!"

The rain continued to fall until the sky turned dark and showed no signs of stopping.

When Chu Yu went to the thermostatic botanical garden to turn on the irrigation system, the soles of his shoes were soaked with water when he stepped on them.

The main control was turned on and the irrigation system started to operate. Chu Yu glanced at the glass greenhouse next door and walked over to it. He also turned on the main control while he was at it.

He stood there and listened to the sound of the sprinkling water. He muttered softly, "Lu Shi, if you don't come back soon, all the plants in the greenhouse will die of lack of water."

When he came out of the thermostatic botanical garden, the sound of footsteps on water could be heard from afar. A person holding a blue checkered umbrella was running towards him.

It was Zhu Zhifei.

"Campus belle!"

Chu Yu saw Zhu Zhifei in a hurry and his heart skipped a beat. He blurted out, "What's wrong with Lu Shi?"

"Hey, how did you know that I was looking for you because of Lu Ge?"

Zhu Zhifei came in a hurry and there were raindrops on his glasses.

He didn't have time to care about it. "Stone called me and said that Lu Ge is going to race tonight!"

"It's raining so heavily?"

"Yeah, it's raining so heavily. I don't know if it will stop at night.

That track is full of sharp bends and steep slopes. If water accumulates there, one slip and you'll be in trouble! "

Zhu Zhifei adjusted his glasses and said quickly, "Stone is anxious and said that he can't persuade Lu Ge. He called me and asked me to bring you along to see if you can persuade him."

Chu Yu felt that he might not be able to persuade Lu Ge even if he went over.

However, he gripped the handle of the umbrella and said, "Let's go. I'll go with you."

The distance from the school to the abandoned road was quite far. There was also a traffic jam on the road because of the rain.

When they arrived, the sky was already completely dark.

The rain didn't seem to have any intention of letting up. The dense raindrops were clearly visible under the lights.

Thousands of raindrops fell on the trees and grass, making rustling sounds.

Chu Yu and Zhu Zhifei got out of the car and walked for a while. When they arrived, they realized that there were many people gathered there. They were all wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas.

Because of the rain, the weather, and the terrain, the difficulty of the race had increased. Everyone was discussing excitedly.

Zhu Zhifei didn't squeeze into the crowd. He stood by the side of the road and took out his cell phone to make a call.

After a few minutes, Wei Guanglei walked out of the crowd. When he saw Chu Yu standing with Zhu Zhifei, he quickly walked over.

The three of them stood under the streetlight.

Raindrops fell on the umbrella, making pitter-patter sounds.

Zhu Zhifei asked anxiously, "Stone, what's going on?

Didn't Lu Ge take a leave of absence? Why is he here again? "

"How would I know?"

Wei Guanglei's skin was tanned. He frowned and said, "I didn't know beforehand. I was playing games at home in the afternoon. Later, I went to the shop and realized that something was wrong. When I opened the storage unit, the car inside was gone!

I was so scared that I hurriedly made a call.

Later, a friend of mine told me that there was a race here tonight and that Lu Ge would be competing. My f * * king heart almost stopped beating! "

The surroundings were very noisy. He raised his voice slightly and said, "I guessed that Lu Ge would definitely go crazy like the previous few times when he came back.

If he wasn't looking for a fight, then he was looking for excitement to vent his anger.

But f * * king running a race track on a rainy day. Is that a joke? "

Chu Yu caught the main point. "The previous few times?"

Zhu Zhifei explained, "Yeah, Lu Ge went out for a day or two at the last minute. He's come back a few times. Every time he comes back, he's in a very bad mood. Anyway, we can't afford to offend him."

Wei Guanglei took a breath of the muddy, damp air and lit a cigarette. "I can't persuade him anymore. The two of you have to work harder."

Zhu Zhifei exposed him. "You don't dare to persuade him, right?"

Wei Guanglei gave him a sidelong glance. "You dare?"

Zhu Zhifei immediately shut up.

The two of them turned to look at Chu Yu in unison.

Chu Yu took half a step back warily. "W-Why are the two of you looking at me?"

Wei Guanglei reached out and put his hand on Chu Yu's shoulder. He pulled him forward. "Let's go, Young Master. Come with me to see Lu Ge!"

Under the canopy in the preparation area, Lu Shi had his hands in his pockets and was staring at the small holes made by the raindrops on the soil.

His figure seemed to be soaked by the autumn rain, and he looked cold.

There was even a hint of loneliness.

When he heard footsteps, Lu Shi turned his head and saw Chu Yu.

His eyes were dark and emotionless. He only said in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Chu Yu took a step closer to Lu Shi.

Chu Yu didn't find an excuse and told him the truth. "Zhu Zhifei said that you were here and that you were going to compete. I was a little worried, so I followed you here."

"Yeah."

Lu Shi responded.

His voice was clear and faint, as if it would be easily drowned out by the sound of the rain.

Chu Yu didn't know what to say.

His ears were filled with Wei Guanglei's words. He advised Lu Shi not to get on the track, not to touch the steering wheel, and to play games or eat barbecue if he was in a bad mood.

But when he really stood in front of Lu Shi, he felt that he couldn't say anything.

The light from the street lamp outlined the contours of Lu Shi's side profile. Chu Yu hesitated. "You." He looked away and stared at the rain outside. "Are you sad?"

"How can you tell?"

That meant that he was really sad.

"I don't know." Chu Yu shook his head. "I can feel it.

It's the kind of feeling that I'm very sad. "

Lu Shi took his hand out of his pocket and rubbed Chu Yu's soft hair.

Someone in a black raincoat stepped on the puddles and ran over. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Number one, get ready. We'll start in ten minutes!"

After saying that, he ran off again.

Lu Shi looked at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu clenched his fists. "You'll still go on the track, right?"

He continued, "You'll be happy if you go on the track and run one lap, right?"

"Yes, yes."

Chu Yu took half a step back.

"I really want to persuade you not to go, but if you have to go, you have to be careful."

His thoughts wandered quickly, and he added carefully, "It's often on the news. Speeding on a rainy day, overturning a car, serious injuries, broken arms, broken legs, hit the head, memory loss, and so on. Yes, disfigurement!

In any case, you have to be careful! "

When he said the word "disfigurement", his voice trembled.

Lu Shi nodded and agreed. "Okay."

The car drove to the starting point. A tall girl with a ponytail stood in the middle of the road in the rain and raised a small green flag high.

A sharp whistle sounded. On the third whistle, the green flag was waved violently.

At the same time, the two cars shot out of the white line at the starting point. The engines roared and the rear wheels kicked up huge splashes. The light from the taillights was blurred by the rain.

Not long after, the cars could no longer be seen. Only the faint sound of the engines could be heard.

Chu Yu sighed. "I've let you down."

Wei Guanglei bit his cigarette but did not light it. He threw his lighter up and caught it. "I didn't have much hope in the first place. I just tried everything that I could."

Zhu Zhifei also comforted him. "The school belle is braver than me. Usually, when Lu Ge's temper is bad, I'm scared. At least you dared to stand in front of Lu Ge."

Looking at the wet driveway, Chu Yu was a little distracted. "Then … have there been any accidents when driving on a rainy day?"

"Why not?

Not to mention the rainy day, there are many accidents during the usual illegal races.

Illegal races are different from regular races. There are not as many protective measures. The prize money is higher, but it's also much more dangerous.

Just this summer, didn't it rain for several days in a row?

I came with Brother Lu to watch that race. A red car's tires skidded and it flew out of the field.

He's lucky and didn't die. He was seriously injured and is still lying in the hospital. "

Chu Yu's heart was hanging even higher. "You saw it at the race?

Then why did Lu Shi — "

Zhu Zhifei took off his glasses and wiped them with the corner of his shirt. "Lu Ge knows this very well. In the past, when Stone wanted to touch the steering wheel and drive around, Lu Ge didn't let him.

So I told Stone that Lu Ge was probably a little bored. He even seemed like he could die in the next second. It wasn't a big deal, but — "

Wei Guanglei continued, "But it seemed like there was something that was barely keeping him alive."

Zhu Zhifei agreed. "Yes, that's it."

As they spoke, the three of them quieted down.

Wei Guanglei pressed his lighter and wanted to light his cigarette. But the butt was a little wet from the rain and he couldn't light it up.

At this moment, a surprised voice came from the loudspeaker that was broadcasting the race track in real time. "What the f * ck is going on?

What happened to Number One? "

Lu Shi was Number One.

Wei Guanglei's hand trembled and the lighter fell to the ground, splashing water and mud.

Then, the faint sound of an engine sounded like an auditory hallucination.

The crowd cried out in surprise in the distance.

Chu Yu was stunned for two seconds. He suddenly realized something and pushed through the crowd and ran to the front.

He couldn't see anything.

Chu Yu continued to run along the track. He tripped and quickly steadied himself.

At the turn, the rain was heavy. A car's headlights broke through the darkness and reflected the fine raindrops like a net.

Chu Yu put his hands on the metal railing and subconsciously leaned forward. He didn't dare to blink.

The rain fell and his hair and clothes were all soaked. Even his eyelashes were covered with water.

The rainwater flowed into his eyes and hurt.

Chu Yu opened his eyes.

Then, a black modified car stopped in front of him. The blue lights of the car flashed and the rain continued to flow down the windshield.

The car window slowly rolled down.

Lu Shi sat in the driver's seat and turned to look at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu's voice was dry and hoarse. He stared unblinkingly at Lu Shi through the falling rain. "You — why did you come back?"

"Some people are going to cry if I don't come back."
