Bite Your Fingertips
Chapter 38
Chu Yu's sleepiness was instantly blown away by the cold wind as soon as he stood on the sports field.
He subconsciously hid behind Lu Shi and shrunk his neck pitifully. "It's autumn, why is it so cold …"
Chu Yu firmly refused to wear thick clothes, no matter how cold it was, for the sake of looking good.
Before leaving, Lu Shi asked him to put on a thin V-neck sweater over his white shirt, but Chu Yu refused.
As soon as he stood on the sports field, he was taught a lesson by the cold wind.
"Do you want to run together?"
Chu Yu quickly refused. "No, no, I'll stand and count laps for you. I won't run.
The wind is so cold. My face can't take it. "
"Okay."
Lu Shi led him to a spot where the wind was blowing. He took off his jacket and threw it to Chu Yu.
Chu Yu quickly caught it with both hands and hugged it tightly, barely blocking the wind.
"Your jacket."
"Huh?"
Chu Yu was puzzled when he saw Lu Shi reach out his hand, but he still handed the jacket over.
The next second, Lu Shi took half a step forward, raised his arms, and hugged Chu Yu between his arms and his chest.
The jacket, which was still warm, was draped over his body.
Lu Shi looked down and helped Chu Yu tighten his collar. He asked him, "Are you still cold?"
Chu Yu blinked. His reaction was half a beat slower. "No, I'm not cold anymore."
It wasn't even seven in the morning, so there weren't many people on the sports field.
After Lu Shi finished his warm-up, he went on the track.
He had excellent proportions. His body was thin, and his legs were straight and slender. No matter what, his back was always straight, and his temperament was outstanding.
Most importantly, his face was good-looking.
Chu Yu noticed that as soon as Lu Shi went on the track, three girls who had finished their run and were about to leave talked to each other, then returned and started running again.
This gave him a hunch that the number of people running in the morning would probably double tomorrow.
God Lu was amazing. He had single-handedly made a huge contribution to the sports industry of Jia Ning Private School.
Chu Yu yawned. Wrapped in Lu Shi's jacket, he felt a little sleepy again.
Chu Yu felt that he couldn't just stare at Lu Shi. If he stared at her for too long, he would feel sleepy. Chu Yu's eyes darted around and suddenly froze.
Holy shit, Meng Ge!
Today's Meng Ge was obviously dressed up on purpose.
In this cold weather, Meng Ge took out the limited edition Houston Rockets jersey that he had kept for a long time. The empty Chu Yu felt cold just looking at it.
She was wearing a pair of branded AJ shoes, and her hair was gelled so that every strand was distinct.
He was very patiently walking backwards and jogging with a girl.
According to Meng Ge's 1.88 meters long legs, it could be considered a race walk.
Most importantly, Chu Yu was standing next to the track. Meng Ge did not see him when he passed by.
Chu Yu listened carefully.
Meng Ge controlled his deep voice and said to the girl shyly, "I missed you so much yesterday."
The girl replied in disappointment, "Don't miss me. Think more about your exam results!"
Meng Ge felt aggrieved. "Oh, okay."
Chu Yu, "Hmm?"
Chu Yu stood still.
Meng Ge walked past him once, twice, thrice, four times —
Holy shit, he still hasn't seen me!
At this moment, Chu Yu heard someone speak beside him.
"Um … Hello."
Turning his head, Chu Yu saw a girl in a high school uniform standing in front of him, looking a little nervous.
Chu Yu said politely, "Hello."
The girl heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she handed a box with pink and blue vertical stripes and a bow tie to Chu Yu. "This is strawberry nougat made by my classmate. She was embarrassed, so she asked me to give it to you.
She said that she doesn't like you, but she likes your looks. "
"Huh?"
Chu Yu was a little confused.
"Please accept it!" Without saying anything else, the girl threw the box into Chu Yu's arms, turned around, and ran away.
Chu Yu caught it subconsciously. When he looked again, she had already run away.
Familiar footsteps approached. Chu Yu turned his head and saw Lu Shi standing beside him. He said subconsciously, "Someone just gave me a gift. I think it's handmade strawberry nougat."
"Do you want to keep the candy?"
Lu Shi's voice seemed to be mixed with the mist of the early autumn morning. It was cold.
Chu Yu quickly shook his head. "No, no, I don't like candy. I don't want to waste other people's kindness."
Meng Ge happened to pass by. This time, he was not blind and greeted happily, "School Belle, God Lu, you're here too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bag of candy was thrown into his arms.
He caught it in confusion. When he looked again, Lu Shi had already left with Chu Yu.
Meng Ge pondered and felt that God Lu and the school belle were indeed tactful. They knew not to be third wheels and left quickly.
Chu Yu was wrapped in Lu Shi's jacket and was talking about the enemy he had just scouted.
"I noticed that there were a few students from Class B and two from Class C on the track. I'm familiar with them.
I think they're preparing for the sports day! "
He lowered his voice. "Also, Meng Ge has a situation!
He was too focused on talking to that girl. He forgot about his friends and blocked out the whole world!
He passed by me eight hundred times and didn't see me. Tsk tsk. "
Lu Shi: "I saw him twice. After the evening self-study session and in the cafeteria."
Chu Yu was guarding Lu Shi's blood at night. He didn't need to go to the cafeteria at all.
He thought for a while. "Hey, is that girl the one who sat in front of Meng Ge during the monthly exam and asked him to copy?"
Lu Shi nodded. "Yes, that's right."
At this moment, Lu Shi suddenly stopped talking.
Chu Yu was puzzled. "What's wrong? Did you take something away?"
"No."
Lu Shi lowered his head and held Chu Yu's wrist. He put his hand under his nose and sniffed it.
It was itchy.
Chu Yu was puzzled. "What's wrong with my hand?"
"It smells."
How can I be smelly!
As a delicate boy, Chu Yu firmly disagreed with this statement.
He leaned over and sniffed it himself. He was not convinced. "What smell?
It smells good! "
He thought of something. "It should be the perfume sprayed on the candy packaging.
That's why my hand smells a little. "
Lu Shi: "It smells."
At this moment, Chu Yu seriously suspected that there was something wrong with Lu Shi's sense of smell.
After walking for a while in the direction of the school building, Lu Shi suddenly grabbed Chu Yu's wrist and pulled him to the sink.
Lu Shi turned on one of the faucets and reached out to test the temperature of the water. Then, he pulled Chu Yu's hand under the faucet and started to wash it for him.
The water was slightly cold.
They squeezed in front of the same faucet and were very close to each other.
Chu Yu shifted his gaze and could see Lu Shi's side profile.
His eyelashes were drooping, and he could see the thin purple veins on his thin eyelids.
The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, forming a beautiful arc.
His palm was grazed by the other party's fingertips. A tingling sensation traveled up his arm and all the way to his heart.
Chu Yu even forgot to struggle.
The faucet was turned on.
Lu Shi lifted Chu Yu's wet hand and smelled it again. He said with satisfaction, "It doesn't smell anymore."
Chu Yu thought to himself, Of course it doesn't smell anymore. With the way you're rubbing and scrubbing, even the gaps between your fingers, there won't be any smell left.
When they reached the classroom, Chu Yu looked around. Sure enough, Meng Ge had not returned.
Zhang Yueshan and Li Hua had already arrived and were discussing a difficult problem with Fang Ziqi.
Chu Yu sat in his seat and waited for them to finish their discussion before prodding each of them with one hand. "Guess what I saw today?"
Zhang Yueshan was curious. "What?"
Li Hua and Fang Ziqi also turned around.
Chu Yu looked around and whispered, "I saw Meng Ge jogging with a girl on the field!
That girl even urged Meng Ge to study hard! "
Li Hua's face darkened. "It's autumn. Meng Ge is no longer the same as before."
His expression changed. "Anything else?"
"Lu Shi said that after the evening self-study session, he saw him twice in the cafeteria!"
Zhang Yueshan decided. "Something must have happened to Meng Ge!
Sure enough, a man's mouth is a liar. Who the f * ck swore that in order to enter the NBA, he would love basketball wholeheartedly, pour his blood on the court, and resolutely not look at girls and not fall in love early! "
Fang Ziqi rolled his eyes and said, "Do you believe his lies?"
Chu Yu and the other two looked at Fang Ziqi. "You're Meng Ge's roommate. Do you have an insider tip?"
"Yes."
Fang Ziqi yawned. "Anyway, Meng Ge is in trouble. You guys don't know that Meng Ge has a hard time getting out of bed, and it's even harder to wake up early.
It's different now. He wakes up at six and goes to the field at six-thirty every day. "
"Half an hour earlier?"
"Yeah. Otherwise, how would he have time to worry about what to wear and what to do with his hair?
Every f * cking morning, I hear his alarm clock. "Fang Ziqi pinched his throat." Alipay has been transferred to my account, 500,000 yuan.
F * ck, it still goes off every two minutes!
I've dreamt more than once that I suddenly became rich, dropped out of school, started my own business, and reached the peak of my life!
That alarm clock is poisonous! "
Li Hua nodded. "I'm studying."
Zhang Yueshan quickly pressed his deskmate's head. "Li Hua, calm down. We shouldn't use such an unrealistic alarm!"
Fang Ziqi sighed again. "Maybe Meng Ge will be the first one to find a girlfriend.
His girlfriend is cute and pretty, and she's good at her studies. "
Zhang Yueshan and Li Hua looked at themselves, who were still single, and sighed together.
Chu Yu didn't feel anything. He felt that it was good to look in the mirror every day.
Chu Yu woke up too early. He wasn't sleepy, but he felt that he didn't get enough sleep. He had to make up for it.
During class, he nimbly lay on his desk. Just as he closed his eyes, he heard someone shouting, "Campus Belle, someone's looking for you!"
Chu Yu half-opened his eyes and saw He Zhihao waving at him.
In the corridor, Chu Yu asked him, "Why are you suddenly looking for me?"
"I sent you a message, but you didn't reply, so I had to climb the stairs to find you. My heart aches for my feet!"
Chu Yu suddenly remembered that he had left his phone in his bag. It was still on silent mode.
"What's the matter? Why did you climb the stairs to find me?"
He Zhihao sized up his expression. "My brother is coming over tonight. He wants to ask if you have time to have dinner together."
Chu Yu leaned against the railing and asked curiously, "Your brother doesn't have classes?"
"I guess … his university schedule is more relaxed?"
He Zhihao knew that Chu Yu had never liked his cousin. "My brother insisted that I ask you, so I can't reject him directly. If you don't want to, I'll just reject him."
Chu Yu never forced himself. He nodded. "Okay, go back. Just say that I'm not going."
At five o 'clock, the bell rang. They all agreed to have dinner together.
No matter how many dishes there were in the cafeteria, one would get tired of eating them every day.
Zhang Yueshan suggested that they eat outside the school for a change of taste.
They all agreed and walked out together.
Meng Ge was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back. He couldn't wait to teleport to the restaurant. He urged them to hurry along the way.
Jia Ning Private School was like most schools. There was a food street at the back of the school. There were stalls of all sizes and it was dazzling.
Li Hua commented, "Other schools only have simple and plain names like 'Lingering Fragrance' and 'Home-Cooked Dishes'.
The shops in our school's food street have names like 'Amorous Turkish', 'Above the Clouds', 'Champagne Pavilions', and 'Thorns and Roses'. It's full of decadent capitalist exaggeration! "
Chu Yu was standing beside Lu Shi, playing games on his phone. He nodded vigorously. "That's right, that's right. I went to that shop called 'Thorns and Roses' in my first year of high school. I was prepared to eat exquisite French food or something. I didn't expect that shop to sell barbecue!"
"But I haven't eaten barbecue in a long time. Why don't we have barbecue?"
As long as there was meat, no one had any objections.
After entering the shop, Chu Yu was about to look for an empty seat when he heard someone calling him. "Chu Yu!"
"He Zhihao?"
Chu Yu looked around and saw He Zhihao sitting opposite He Zhiyuan.
The two of them walked over.
He Zhiyuan smiled gently. "Are you here to eat with your classmates?
Do you want to sit together? It's my treat. "
Meng Ge, who had always been carefree, didn't say anything. He waited for Chu Yu's reaction.
Chu Yu never cared about giving face to others, especially to people he didn't like.
"It's okay. You can eat with He Zhihao. I'll eat with my classmates."
He Zhiyuan's expression froze for half a second. He immediately put on a smile. "In that case, it's really a pity."
After eating and returning to the classroom, Meng Ge asked, "Campus Belle, who was the person who said that he wanted to treat us to a meal? He looked gentle and smiling, but why did he give off the feeling that … he wasn't a good person?"
"He Zhihao's cousin."
Meng Ge scratched the back of his head. "I don't know if it's my imagination, but I keep feeling that the man's gaze was a little disgusting."
Chu Yu felt the same way.
During the evening self-study session, Chu Yu read comics for a while as usual. His hands were itchy, so he took out his phone and started a game.
The game was new. Chu Yu had just started playing, so he wasn't very familiar with it.
More importantly, this game couldn't be paid for.
Then, Chu Yu, who was bad at playing and didn't have the aura of a pay-to-win player, was defeated.
He didn't believe it. He started another game, but he was still defeated.
How infuriating!
Chu Yu recognized his level and turned around swiftly. "Lu Shi, Lu Shi, do you have time?"
Lu Shi closed his book. "Yes."
Chu Yu was excited for a second. He passed his phone to Lu Shi and said in a low voice, "I'm so angry. I've been defeated for so long!
Do you know how to play this game?
Can you teach me?
You don't have to be very good. You just have to be invincible among the newbies. Is that okay? "He added," Please, please! "
His eyes were full of anticipation, as if there were stars hidden in them.
Lu Shi took the phone and looked down at the screen. He said in a low voice, "Chu Yu."
"Yes?"
"Speak properly. You don't have to act coquettishly."
Chu Yu: "??"
Who the hell is acting coquettishly?
