The weather was getting colder by the day. Many people had caught a cold due to the sudden drop in temperature and put on thick sweaters.

Chu Yu did not go with the flow. He still wore thin clothes. He looked good, but he was cold.

Zhang Yueshan and Li Hua had expressed their admiration for Chu Yu. It was such a cold day, but he was willing to go all out just to show off.

After coming out of the dormitory, Chu Yu could not help but tighten his grip on his collar and shrink his neck when the cold morning wind blew.

Lu Shi stood in front of him to block the wind. "Cold?"

Chu Yu took a deep breath and the corners of his mouth curled up into a standard smile. He did not know if he was giving himself a psychological hint. "I!

No!

I'm cold! "

If his voice did not tremble at the end, it might have been more convincing.

Lu Shi did not persuade him to go back and change his clothes. He just walked and tried his best to stand in the wind to block Chu Yu.

It was early, and there were not many people walking around. Chu Yu tugged at Lu Shi's clothes and said mysteriously, "Come, I'll show you a treasure!"

Lu Shi stopped. "What treasure?"

Chu Yu turned sideways and took out a white corner from his pocket. His eyes were filled with pride as he said, "Look!"

It was as if he was sharing a secret. There was excitement in his words.

Lu Shi did not recognize it at first glance. After looking at it a few more times, he realized that it was a heating pad.

"I'm smart, right?

I bought it at the convenience store the other day.

I put two heating pads in my pocket. This way, I can put my hands in it and warm them up! "Chu Yu felt that his idea was great." Ah, it's as warm as heaven! "

A hint of a smile flashed across Lu Shi's eyes as he praised him. "Yes, smart."

It was the first day of the mid-term exam. Many people were walking while memorizing the exam questions. They were cramming at the last minute. There was no harm in hugging more.

Chu Yu was assigned to the exam room in the middle section based on his results from the previous monthly exam. It was on the second floor.

His foot injury had not fully recovered, so he did not want to climb the stairs. He put his hands in his pockets and went to queue up obediently.

Lu Shi followed her into the elevator and walked her all the way to the classroom.

After finding his seat, Chu Yu turned to Lu Shi and said, "You should go back soon. You can take a nap in your seat."

Lu Shi helped Chu Yu tidy up his stationery. "Okay, wait for me after the exam. I'll come and pick you up."

Knowing that Lu Shi was worried about his leg, Chu Yu nodded several times. "Okay, okay, okay. I'll wait for you."

After Lu Shi left, Chu Yu lay on his desk.

He actually didn't want to come to this mid-term exam. He was annoyed and conflicted, so he decided to just run away.

However, there was another feeling in his heart. He felt that if he really skipped the exam, it would be like he had lost to something.

Last night, he struggled for a long time and had a nightmare. He even woke up Lu Shi.

Lu Shi covered his eyes with her hand and asked him to sleep in a hoarse voice.

Chu Yu obediently closed his eyes. In the end, he didn't even know when he fell asleep.

He still entered the exam hall.

Chu Yu twirled his pen. He felt that men were really fickle.

He didn't know anyone in the exam hall, so he simply sat in his seat in a daze without talking to anyone.

There were people chatting behind him. Their words drifted into his ears intermittently.

They were probably in the same class as He Zhihao. They were saying that He Zhihao probably wouldn't come to school and didn't even come for the mid-term exam.

He Zhihao.

Chu Yu directly told his brother and sister that He Zhiyuan wanted to drug him. He didn't give He Zhiyuan any chance to react and directly crushed him to the ground.

At that time, Chu Yu guessed that the He family would definitely not let He Zhihao come to Jia Ning Private School again.

This was expected. However, Chu Yu still felt a little disappointed that he had lost a friend.

The exams lasted for two days. After the last exam, it was Saturday the next day. Many people prepared to go home directly.

Lu Shi went upstairs to pick up Chu Yu. She saw that his side face was red from sleeping.

She casually smoothed out his curled hair. "Sleepy?"

"Yeah." Chu Yu yawned.

The last exam was English. After he finished the paper, he looked at the time and realized that there was still half an hour left. He decided to lie down and sleep, but he didn't sleep well.

After a yawn, there were traces of tears at the corners of his eyes. Chu Yu rubbed his face. "I was in a daze. I didn't realize where I was and I was looking for you everywhere."

Lu Shi came to sleep with him every night. Chu Yu was a little used to it.

When he slept, he liked to pull Lu Shi's clothes to sleep. It didn't matter if it was the sleeves or the collar.

Anyway, if he didn't hold anything in his hands, he would always feel empty.

After another yawn, Chu Yu remembered. "Are you going directly to the airport later?"

"I'll go there tomorrow morning. I'll stay in school at night."

"Then I'll stay in the dormitory tonight. I won't go back first!"

Thinking that Lu Shi had to go so far, Chu Yu's mood fell a little.

He forced himself to cheer up. "No, I have to take you to the airport tomorrow!"

Worried that Lu Shi would refuse, Chu Yu added, "If you don't let me take you, I'll be unhappy. I'll also lose sleep at night. I'll be sad and have nightmares."

Lu Shi didn't have any intention of refusing. "Okay, you can take me."

The next day, when they arrived at the airport, Lu Shi went to change his boarding pass. Chu Yu stood there and waited.

He sat on the chair and looked at Lu Shi's figure.

He had a feeling that Lu Shi was a little unhappy all the way here.

His expression was no different from usual, but there were a few layers of darkness between his eyebrows that couldn't be blown away.

Chu Yu guessed that Lu Shi probably didn't want to go home to City A. Looking at Lu Shi's expression, it was definitely not a good place to go.

As for the person who claimed to be Lu Shi's mother, Chu Yu felt that she was 100% not a good person.

After Lu Shi changed his boarding pass, Chu Yu pulled Lu Shi to a secluded corner to suck blood.

He was about to restrain himself from biting his finger when Lu Shi unbuttoned his collar. "You'll only be back tomorrow. Why don't you suck more blood today?"

Chu Yu saw the cold white shoulder line exposed by the unbuttoned collar and felt an itch in his throat.

He took half a step forward and approached Lu Shi.

In order to hide it, he wrapped his arms around Lu Shi's neck, pressed his lips to the side of her neck, and bit down.

Lu Shi carried a black backpack with one hand and raised the other hand to wrap around Chu Yu's waist.

It was a hug.

In the banquet hall.

Fang Weiyun was wearing a well-tailored white fringed gown. She looked dignified and dignified. She was holding a glass of champagne and chatting with a few familiar ladies.

She took good care of herself. Although she wasn't as beautiful as a young girl, she had her own temperament and charm.

"A few days ago, my son caused some trouble again. My father is very angry.

I don't know what tricks that kid used to coax his grandfather back. He even got a car. I don't know where he drove it last night. "

The woman who spoke looked at Fang Weiyun and said enviously, "If my son, who came to collect debts, was half as sensible and filial as your Lu Shi, I would have fewer wrinkles!"

As she spoke, her gaze fell on the necklace Fang Weiyun was wearing. "Your Lu Shi knows how to buy gifts for his mother at such a young age. Until now, I've never received a single bead from my son!"

Fang Weiyun touched the necklace with her finger and said softly, "Our Lu Shi has grown up. I'm also worried every day that he'll be led astray.

I've seen your Shibai a few times. He's good-looking and has a sweet tongue. He looks at his mother every day. His mother is really beautiful. You don't know how envious we are! "

The few of them laughed together and didn't say anything else. The conversation revolved around their children.

A woman in a red mermaid dress suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen your Lu Shi yet. I haven't seen him in a long time. He must have grown a lot taller, right?

I remember the last time I saw him, he was still in junior high school. "

Fang Weiyun's smile remained unchanged. "He was delayed by something. He'll be here later."

Not long after, Lu Shaochu also came to look for Fang Weiyun. "Why isn't Lu Shi here yet?"

Fang Weiyun looked at the time. "It's past three. He should be here soon."

Lu Shaochu didn't show any emotion on his face, but his voice was deep. "We shouldn't have agreed when he made a fuss about going to school in City S. It's too far away. We can't do anything about it."

Fang Weiyun held a wine glass, and there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes. "But can we stop him?

You know Lu Shi's character. "She stopped talking and her tone became sadder." He knows that I'm not his biological mother. He definitely won't listen to me anymore. "

"Weiyun, don't think like that. You raised him. Even if you're not related by blood, you definitely have family ties.

He's still young and immature, so when he heard the news, he couldn't withstand the shock. "

Lu Shaochu put his arm around Fang Weiyun's shoulder. "I still don't know whether it was right or wrong to hide it from Lu Shi since he was young and not tell him who his biological mother was and let him treat you as his biological mother.

Especially since Lu Shi has been so close to you since he was young … "

"Shaochu," Fang Weiyun comforted Lu Shaochu. "This was a decision we made together. If Lu Shi wants to blame us, we should bear the consequences.

But no matter what, his surname is Lu and he's your son. In the end, we can't get rid of this layer of blood relationship. "

Lu Shaochu went to greet the guests while Fang Weiyun stayed where she was.

When she saw Mrs. Lin coming over with her daughter, she smiled. After greeting them, she looked at the girl in a light blue dress. "This is our Wangxi, right?

She's all grown up!

She looks like you. She's so beautiful! "

Lin Wangxi greeted her politely.

Lady Lin smiled. "Her personality is much better than mine. I like to arrange flowers and drink tea. She takes after her father."

"How nice it is to take after Mr. Lin. Like father, like daughter!"

Lady Lin smiled happily and asked, "Where's Lu Shi?"

Lin Wangxi blinked when she heard the name "Lu Shi".

The young man who came to pick up Chu Yu at the entrance of Ulysses was called Lu Shi.

She had a deep impression of that boy. On one hand, he was good-looking and had an outstanding temperament.

On the other hand, it was rare for her to see Chu Yu so dependent on someone.

Although Chu Yu was young, he was very clear-minded.

After playing with He Zhihao for so many years, no matter how He Zhihao guided him, he was very clear about what to do and what not to do.

He Zhihao raced, crashed, and did exciting things. Chu Yu had never done it before.

He looked like he had a good personality, but in reality, he drew a clear line between himself and others.

However, Chu Yu would subconsciously rely on Lu Shi even when he was drunk.

However, Lin Wangxi dispelled her thoughts. She felt that it might just be the same name.

He Zhihao had mentioned before that Lu Shi lived in the slums and came from a poor family. He entered Jia Ning Private School for the sake of a scholarship.

Fang Weiyun held the wine glass. "Sigh, the more I look at Wangxi, the prettier she looks. She looks so much like you when you were young!"

Lady Lin held her handbag. "Stop praising her. You're praising her to the heavens!

However, Lu Shi is all grown up now, and you're still young. Do you want to have a daughter?

Whether your daughter inherits you or your husband, she'll definitely be a beautiful little princess! "

Fang Weiyun's smiling expression froze for a moment.

She unconsciously tightened her grip on the wine glass with her fingers, but quickly released it. She smiled and said, "Our Lu Shi doesn't want to hold my hand when we were young and say that Mommy only wants me as her child and only likes me, okay?"

Lady Lin knew that she had been rude, so she quickly changed the topic and talked about George Luona's new emerald jewelry.

At this moment, the door suddenly fell silent. Then, there were layers of discussions.

Lin Wangxi tilted her head and saw a young man wearing a white shirt, a black suit, and black leather shoes. He stepped in from the door.

He had the thin and tall stature of a young man, like a pine tree covered in snow in the wind. He exuded a cold and indifferent aura, which was incompatible with the flowers in the banquet hall.

His dark eyes reflected the fragrance of clothes, hair, and sparkling lights, but he couldn't see through them.

Lin Wangxi immediately recognized him.

This was the person who came to pick up Chu Yu that day, Lu Shi.

Lu Shi straightened the snow-white material of his sleeve and saw Fang Weiyun first.

Fang Weiyun put the champagne glass on the waiter's tray and walked over with her skirt lifted. She smiled gently. "You're here?

Your father was just thinking about you. "

Seeing that Lu Shi's collar was slightly crooked, Fang Weiyun reached out to help him fix it. "Look at you. Without Mommy around, you always —"

Lu Shi avoided her hand.

Fang Weiyun's smile froze.

Lu Shi's thin eyelids drooped. In the depths of his dark eyes, there was hatred that had been entangled day by day. It was like the vines of a rose, covered in sharp thorns. With a slight movement, it would stir up dripping blood.

Fang Weiyun withdrew her hand at the right time. Her smile didn't change as she said intimately, "Grandpa is upstairs chatting with his old friends. I'll take you to see your father first. He's been waiting for you."

Lu Shi didn't say anything and followed behind Fang Weiyun.

When Lu Shaochu saw that Fang Weiyun had brought Lu Shi over, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell.

He smiled and said to the middle-aged man who was chatting with him, "A grown son can't be kept at home. When a child grows up, he has his own ideas. How can he be obedient?" He patted Lu Shi's arm and gestured. "Lu Shi, do you remember who this is?"

Lu Shi stretched out his hand and faced the middle-aged man opposite Lu Shaochu. "Uncle Yang, long time no see."

"This must be Lu Shi, right?

Old Lu, I think he's much more powerful than you were when you were young! "

The Lu family had been in business for several generations and had a deep foundation. The wealth and reputation they had accumulated were extraordinary.

Lu Shi put on a hand-tailored suit and stepped into the banquet hall. It was as if he had put on a costume, and he didn't have his usual laziness or coldness.

His temperament and actions would make everyone think that he was indeed the only heir of the Lu family.

After the greetings, Fang Weiyun brought over a wine glass and handed it to Lu Shi. "This is juice. You must be thirsty.

You're still underage and can't drink. Mommy specially poured juice for you. "

Lu Shi didn't take it.

Lu Shaochu frowned. If it weren't for the occasion and his reputation, he would have scolded her.

Fang Weiyun hurriedly said a little cautiously, "You don't like it?

Mommy will get you another glass. "

"It's okay."

Lu Shi stretched out his hand and took the glass of juice.

As he moved, Fang Weiyun's fingers brushed against the back of Lu Shi's hand.

About ten minutes later, Lu Shi found an excuse to leave the banquet hall and went up to the second floor.

When he entered the bathroom, he locked the door and turned on the tap. He dipped his hand into the water and continuously washed the back of his hand where Fang Weiyun had touched it.

So dirty, so dirty …

Lu Shi's jawline was tense. He lowered his head and continuously rubbed that inch of skin on the back of his hand with his left hand. It was as if he had to wash off a layer of skin to be clean.

It wasn't until the back of his hand turned red and started to hurt that Lu Shi gradually stopped his mechanical movements.

After turning off the tap, Lu Shi slowly wiped the water off his hand.

He stood there for a while before he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Lu Shi?"

"Yeah."

Chu Yu sounded a little worried as he asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you at the birthday banquet? Why are you suddenly calling me?

Are you unhappy? "

Lu Shi looked at the red marks on the back of his hand and smelled the incense in the air. He wanted to vomit.

He called out the other party's name softly, "Chu Yu."

"Yes?"

"I really want you to touch the back of my hand. They're so dirty."
