When it was almost dawn, Chu Yu returned to the city with Lu Shi and rented a hotel room.
Chilled by the wind outside, Chu Yu jumped into the bathroom to take a hot shower, and finally felt relieved.
When he went out wrapped in a black bathrobe, Lu Shi was sitting on the sofa talking on the phone. Seeing Chu Yu come out of the shower, Lu Shi mouthed, Come here.
Chu Yu walked over with his slippers on.
As soon as he squeezed himself to sit down on the narrow sofa, he was taken into Lu Shis arms.
He was a little tired, and his whole body felt soft after taking a bath. Chu Yu leaned against Lu Shis body as if he had no bones, and became engrossed with touching Lu Shis Adams apple with his fingers.
He didnt know if it was because of staying up all night, but although Chu Yu was a bit tired, he wasnt sleepy at all. Rather, he was even a little excited.
He pondered in his mind how Lu Shi had sent away the old man of the Lu family and Lu Shaochu in advance. Presumably, hed wanted to fight for the time difference and do something first while those two men didnt have the time to react.
But what should be done so that Lu Shaochu and the others wouldnt take action to protect Fang Weiyun?
Before he could come up with a reason, Lu Shi suddenly pressed speaker mode on the phone and held it away. Then, Lu Shi kissed him fiercely and bit his lip.
Chu Yus eyes widened and he drew back, wanting to remind Lu Shi: youre still on the fucking phone, whats with the kissing?
However, Lu Shi didnt give him a chance to speak. When he realized that he wanted to retreat, he raised his hand and pressed it on the back of Chu Yus head, giving him no chance to shrink back.
Being kissed and having the tip of his tongue tangled with, it didnt take long for Chu Yu to lose his strength. He simply leaned against Lu Shis arms and allowed him to kiss however he wanted.
The person on the other side of the phone was still talking.
Although he knew the other party couldnt see him, Chu Yu was a little nervous about the feeling of an unfamiliar voice talking beside him all the while.
Lu Shi, on the contrary, simply withdrew his lips and replied when the other party stopped talking, The second option can maximize the impact of the incident before Lu Shaochu and the others react?
Yes. The specific method is
While listening, Lu Shi lightly kissed and rubbed against Chu Yus lips.
At this moment, tenderness and coldness merged to the extreme within his eyes.
Chu Yu thought that when faced with this type of Lu Shi, no one could fucking resist, so he took the initiative to get close and deepen the kiss.
Lu Shi supported Chu Yus back and cooperated very well.
Once it ended, Chu Yu was so muddled by the kiss that he had no idea when the call was hung up.
Leaning in Lu Shis arms, he could guess what he looked like right now without needing a mirror.
With a serious expression, Chu Yu asked, Are you confident with what youre gonna do?
Hm.
Lu Shi made it clear. Lu Shaochus side cant respond fast enough, giving me more time to operate. Once they become aware that Fang Weiyuns murder has been exposed, theyll want to cover it up, but they wont be able to. What Lu Shaochu and the others value most is reputation and dignity. So, do you know what theyll do?
Chu Yu followed along the train of thought and pondered. I know! For the reputation and dignity of the Lu family, their only choice now is to pretend they didnt know about this matter at all, feel grieved and enraged, then push it all onto Fang Weiyun. If Lu Shaochu divorces Fang Weiyun immediately, this matter wont impact the Lu family.
At the same time, theyll pretend to be ignorant of what happened back then, of all that was done and concealed by Fang Weiyun. So that if you want to hate, hating Fang Weiyun will be enough, and you wont be at odds with them.
While speaking of the past, Chu Yus nose turned sour.
What kind of rotten things had happened to Lu Shi? For the past ten years, hed lived in a lie; what he knew and saw was all untrue. The mother closest to him was a murderer who killed his actual mother. His blood-related father and grandfather were all accomplices of the murderer.
All his life so far had been like a scroll of mud.
Disregarding his sagging bathrobeIt was pajamas in the raws but Sammy remembered that Chu Yu had a bathrobe on, so I replaced pajamas., Chu Yu knelt on the sofa and tried reaching out to hug Lu Shi.
Lu Shi pressed against Chu Yus ear. Do you feel bad for me?
With his face buried in Lu Shis neck, Chu Yu replied in a muffled voice, Hm, heart hurts.
Upon hearing this answer, Lu Shi didnt speak.
He lowered his eyes and gazed at their two overlapping shadows on the carpet
Its good to feel distressed for me, the more you feel distressed, the more reluctant youll be to leave me.
Chu Yu stayed with Lu Shi in A City for over a week.
The weather was too cold and he didnt like going out so he huddled in the hotel, reading comics, playing games, and also chatting with Yang Yuchan about the progress of their project from time to time. Sometimes, when he encountered something he didnt understand, or he couldnt figure out, hed call to harass his brother and sister.
Chu Xuan and Chu Xi were shocked by their younger brothers sudden eagerness to learn. In addition to being pleasantly surprised, they transferred a large sum of money to Chu Yus account.
Chu Xuan also asked Chu Yu if there was any car he fancied, reasoning that if he was a man, then he must have his own car. If he fancied something, hed buy it for him immediately.
Chu Yu thought for a while and asked his brother, Can I just cash out instead of the car?
Knowing that Chu Yu was fiddling with investments recently, Chu Xuan didnt say more. Okay, but if you make money, the dividends that should be given mustnt be any less!
Of course! Chu Yu responded. Ill work hard and try not to lose as much as possible!
Meanwhile, Lu Shis wiring: I honestly dont know if this is a typo or my limited knowledge has not encountered it. But based on context, we know its synonymous to plan. gradually began coming together.
First, news broke out that under a bridge on the outskirts of A City, a body was found sealed in cement and tied to the bottom of the bridge pier by iron cables. Soon, it was revealed that the incident was related to the Fang family.
Finally, after DNA matching, it was determined that the deceased was a woman surnamed Jiang. The police had discovered a fingerprint on the cement, and after cross-matching with the fingerprint database, it belonged to Fang Weiyun.
When Elder Lu and Lu Shaochu hurried back, the matter was in a state where paper could no longer cover the fire, and it had formed into a big scandal. Inside and outside the circle, countless pairs of eyes were staring at the Lu family.
Lu Shi stood against the wall, head bowed, and not speaking.
The well-maintained Elder Lu sat on the sofa and angrily questioned, Why were policemen ambushing there? Have you figured out whats going on?
From the moment Lu Shaochu got off the plane, things at hand were in chaos. His heart was boiling with fury, but he couldnt express it, which was reflected in his awful expression. Ive asked, the situation is unclear, the news shouldve leaked from Fang Weishans side when he was searching for that religious master. It isnt known what occurred, but he ended up disclosing it to the police and it so happened that Fang Weishan was arrested! The biggest problem is that the fingerprints were found. At this point, no name can be cleared even if we want to!
Having said that, Lu Shaochu glanced at Lu Shi subconsciously, and swallowed back the words he didnt say.
Lu Shi didnt seem to notice. He put his hands in his pockets. What are you going to do now?
Lu Shaochu replied, What else can we do? Regardless of what the truth is about this matter, Fang Weiyun mustnt be charged with the crime either way!
He then explained to Lu Shi, Lu Shi, neither your grandfather nor I thought Fang Weiyun would be that kind of person! She actually
He sighed heavily, as if he couldnt go on talking about it.
Lu Shi indifferently watched them put on a show.
When Lu Shaochu mentioned exoneration again, Lu Shi then said, So what if Fang Weiyun is exonerated? The matter has become known to everyone, and no one is a fool. Even if Fang Weiyun is protected, everyone will still know that Mrs. Lu, Fang Weiyun, is a murderer.
Hearing the meaning of Lu Shis words, Elder Lu nodded. Lu Shi is right. Its not the best plan to paint peace and securityPretend everything is going well. The Lu family cannot tolerate a woman with such a bad reputation! Shaochu, make a decision when its time to decide.
Lu Shaochu thought of Iris who came back with him.
Compared to those previous women, this Iris suited his intentions very well. If Fang Weiyun was gone
Lu Shaochu still displayed hesitance. There have been many years of affection between husband and wife after all
Shaochu, is the Lu familys face more important, or your husband and wife relationship? This matter was planted by Fang Weiyuns own hands! If it had been dealt with cleanly back then
Realizing that it was inappropriate to say this, Elder Lu changed his diction. If we had known of this matter back then, handed over Fang Weiyun, and dealt with it cleanly, this issue wouldnt have implicated the Lu family at all!
No one noticed the hint of a sneer which rose at the corner of Lu Shis mouth.
Hearing this, Lu Shaochu seemed to have painfully made up his mind. Okay, I know what to do.
With the Lu family working behind the scenes, it didnt take long for the case to go through the judicial process.
On the day of the trial, Lu Shi was at the scene.
Fang Weiyun was wearing handcuffs, her face expressionless, and her eyes lifeless. She wasnt as delicate and decent as usual, and she wasnt responding to external sounds throughout the whole event.
It wasnt until the final verdict of the death penalty came out and the trial hammer fell that Fang Weiyun raised her head, not knowing where to land her eyes.
When she left the dock, her line of sight swept unfocused over the expressions on various peoples faces and abruptly stopped.
Lu Shi was sitting in the second-to-last row of the courtroom.
He was wearing a black down jacket with a white sweater inside. Due to his outstanding appearance and temperament, he was very eye-catching even if he was sitting quietly and there were people around him.
Fang Weiyun halted in place and stared at Lu Shi intently.
Lu Shi looked back, his gaze unevasive.
Suddenly, Fang Weiyun seemed to think of something. She staggered two steps toward the courtroom benches, seemingly not hearing the bailiff berating her from the side. She stared straight at Lu Shi as her lips moved. Its you it was your doing! Its you! Her voice on the last two words was extremely sharp, piercing the eardrums.
Lu Shi sat in the same position, unmoving. His expression didnt change at all and his eyes were entirely apathetic.
The bailiff reached out and grabbed Fang Weiyuns arm, but he wasnt able to guard in time and Fang Weiyun vigorously broke free.
She rushed to the gallery in two steps. I know it was all your doing! You did it! You bastard, did you do it?!
Many people were taken aback by her sudden outburst of emotion and outcry.
Through the gap between spectators, Lu Shi met Fang Weiyuns crazy eyes and quietly answered her question.
It was me.
Fang Weiyun understood.
She struggled fiercely and tried to rush to the gallery with a distorted expression, but was restrained by the bailiff twice and firmly pressed to the ground. The sound of the metal handcuffs colliding was particularly distinct amid the noise.
Lu Shi took one last look at Fang Weiyun, got up, and left.
In the hotel, Chu Yu, who was remotely playing a few games with Wei Guanglei, couldnt help but check the time.
It was already eight oclock in the evening, yet Lu Shi wasnt back.
Chu Yu knew the court trial was being held today. But according to the time, the final judgment shouldve been passed already. There was pressure from the Lu family in the middle, so nothing could go wrong.
But Lu Shi still hadnt come back.
In the earphone, Wei Guanglei was asking, Young Master, do you want to play again? Well definitely win this time, if we lose again, Ill write the word Shitou backwards!
Toushi? It might as well be Toutie ironhead; dumb -> dumber." role="button" aria-pressed="false" aria-describedby="mfn-content-0000000078854e220000000056130995_27219">4Shitou together means stone, while individually shi means rock, tou means head making toushi rock/stone head. tie means iron. Chu Yu was dissing Shitou by saying that instead of just rock, why dont you level it up to iron. Somewhat like, rockhead -> ironhead; dumb -> dumber.. Your level is even better than me but youre actually still this weak.
Chu Yu couldnt put his mind at ease. Im hanging up first, Lu Shi hasnt returned yet, Ill call and ask.
Just after exiting the game, Chu Yus cellphone rang first.
Lu Shi was calling.
Lu Shi?
There was no one talking on the other side, only the sound of rapid breathing. There were also faint vehicle hoots and the sound of stray cats.
Lu Shi, where are you?
After that, Chu Yu heard a low laugh erupting from the receiver.
Unlike usual, Lu Shis laughter was very hoarse, but hid a not too definite sob.
As soon as Chu Yu heard this, his eyes soured.
He pressed the corners of his eye and realized that during this period of time, hed been wanting to cry a little bit at every turn.
That wouldnt do.
Chu Yu, she was sentenced to death.
It was as if a dark cloud had been split open.
Chu Yu jumped out of bed, stepped on the floor barefoot, and searched for shoes to wear. En, I know, Fang Weiyun was sentenced to death, and she paid for a life with her own life.
Restraining his voice from choking up, Chu Yu hurried his speech, Where are you now? Send me your location and Ill pick you up.
He was worried about Lu Shis condition.
Mm, okay.
Hed been feeling that Lu Shis voice wasnt right, so Chu Yu questioned closely, What were you doing?
Fought.
Chu Yus heart rose up. Are you injured?
Theres a knife cut on my hand, not deep.
You were cut by a knife? Chu Yu put on his coat. Holy shit, wait for me, Ill come right away!
As he walked out, he spoke into the phone with a fierce tone, Cover the wound well, dont let it bleed, understand? Your blood is all mine.
Lu Shi chuckled. Yes, its all yours.
It only took a little over half an hour for Chu Yu to call a car and arrive at the location Lu Shi had sent.
In a narrow alley, there was a vague sound of a stray cat from out of nowhere.
Lu Shi lazily stood by the moss-covered wall, his jacket zipper not pulled up, revealing his sturdy, thin waistline.
The light from the distant streetlights stretched his shadow obliquely.
Chu Yu took two steps forward and smelled a sweet scent right away.
It was the scent of Lu Shis blood.
Hunger and appetite surged from his throat in an instant. Chu Yu felt his back starting to heat up and his hands and feet somewhat softening.
He continued to approach.
Lu Shi was like a cheetah with his whole body entirely on guard. He sensed movement and keenly looked over.
After confirming that it was Chu Yu, the sharp aura was withdrawn.
Standing in front of Lu Shi, Chu Yu handed the iodophor bandage over. Would you like to bandage the wound?
Lu Shi accepted.
Through the weak light, he could see that Lu Shis palm had been slashed bloody by a sharp blade. With his poor experience, Chu Yu gauged that the wound shouldnt be very deep.
Lu Shi skillfully handled the wound, holding the white bandage with his right hand and wrapping it around the palm of his left hand.
After pulling it tight, he lowered his head, clamped his teeth onto the bandage, and with force, a zi sound was issued and the bandage was torn apart. Lu Shi then smoothly tied a not-so-beautiful knot.
His movements werent unfamiliar at all, they were a little pleasant to the eyes, and also a little carelessly ruffian-like.
After wrapping it up, Lu Shi stretched out his hand wrapped in a snow-white bandage in front of Chu Yu and showed it to him. Its wrapped, not much blood flowed out.
His eyes were reddish and bloodshot. Recalling the phrase your blood is all mine that Chu Yu had said, he added another sentence, Its been yours all along.
Chu Yu nodded.
Wind swept through the empty and desolate alley.
Chu Yu sniffed the smell of blood that hadnt yet dispersed in the air, and unconsciously licked his lips.
Bending his fingers, Lu Shi touched the corner of Chu Yus lips. Hungry?
Mn, Im hungry.
Where do you want to bite?
As soon as these words fell, Lu Shi was completely unprepared as he was pushed back two steps by Chu Yu, landing his back against the wall.
Chu Yu didnt answer and instead took in Lu Shis thin lips and with light force, bit them and made a small cut.
Blood spilled out and spread between the lips and teeth of the two of them.
Chu Yu began to suck. Without purposely restraining his instinct, he held Lu Shis lips and sucked hard.
Hiss
Lu Shi gasped in pain.
But this kind of pain hooked out a males instinct for chasing stimulation.
Even the hostility and melancholy accumulating in his heart for many years had been slightly relieved.
Lu Shi put his hand on Chu Yus buttocks, patted it twice, and said in a husky voice, Be good, bite harder, Gege can take it.
The author has something to say: Heres a heart made of lanterns~
