Chapter 81: Anklet

81st -Anklet

Translator: Xena Editor: Sammy

Up until Lu Shi was playing on the synthetic basketball court with the T-shirt on, Chu Yu still hadnt returned to his senses.

My boyfriend really is a bit of a tempter.

Scratch that.

Chu Yu silently corrected in his heart hes very much a seducer!

Most of the time, Lu Shi appeared cold and distant, and his expressions werent particularly rich. Yet that was what made Lu Shis occasional hotness, indecentness, and possessiveness extremely attractive.

Chu Yu felt that he was truly being eaten to death.

Holding the white long sleeve Lu Shi had changed from, Chu Yu couldnt help but want to lean close and smell its scent.

But soon after, he realized that this was the basketball court! Itd be too shameful to sniff Lu Shis white shirt in public!

Putting aside his messy little thoughts, Chu Yu straightened his back and tried to focus on watching them play.

Lu Shis dribbling and shooting was consistently on the offensive. His face was cold and stern, his actions were vigorous and nimble, and his face was good-looking and pleasurable to gaze at.

But after watching for a while, Chu Yu realized that Lu Shis popularity in the school seemed to have declined a lot?

In the past, when Lu Shi played basketball regardless of when, there would always be a lot of students who heard the news, standing by the sides of the court. Theyd watch while discussing in whispers, some even taking pictures and so on.

However, today, Chu Yu looked around and found that there were less than half of the usual number of people around.

Just when Chu Yu was full of doubts, he caught a glimpse of Yang Yuchan in his peripheral vision, passing by the basketball court with a school bag on her back. Yang Yuchan probably saw him because she switched directions, walked over, and sat on the empty chair next to Chu Yu.

There was a teddy bear hanging from Yang Yuchans school bag, along with a string of gleaming beads. When she walked, they swayed along with a clattering sound.

She sat down with her legs together and put her bag on her lap, forming a very upright sitting posture.

Scanning the basketball court first, Yang Yuchan asked, Watching your Lu-Shen play?

Quite liking the label your Lu-Shen, Chu Yu nodded. Yeah, Lu Shi and I passed by here earlier and were called over by Dream-Ge and Class Rep. I was originally struggling to decide if I should go back to the dormitory first or straight to the self-study room.

Since you arent playing, then its a perfect time. Here, Young Master, can you take a look at this plan first?

Yang Yuchan took out a thin file from a pink folder and handed it to Chu Yu. Its amazing that only one of the first few projects we invested in didnt cut it while the others, large and small, are going very well. What does this mean? It means that the two of us have good vision.

She pointed towards the document with her chin. Tell me what you think after youve read this, Im not quite sure about it.

Chu Yu received the document, flipped through it seriously, and knitted his brows. You want to start this project?

Yang Yuchan nodded. I do have some ideas. However, Im still unable to decide after hesitating for several days. After thinking about it, I wanted to get your opinion.

Yang Yuchan said this sincerely.

One of the reasons she had pulled in Chu Yu at the start to invest in projects together was guilt. Although the landslide was an unpredictable natural disaster, the venue of the event was set by her and the party villa was also under her name, so she felt very apologetic.

The second reason was that Chu Yu was rich. Although Jianing Private students generally possessed pretty good family backgrounds, especially in Class A, Chu Yus wealthy was really, uniquely wealthy in comparison.

However, after working together during this period of time, she found that Chu Yus growth was too fast.

Some talents really couldnt be compared.

Chu Yu seemed to have suddenly awakened from drowsiness. Like a sponge, he constantly absorbed all kinds of knowledge and nutrients.

In the beginning, Yang Yuchan herself was the leader. Later, the two of them would discuss it instead.

Up to now, when Yang Yuchan was undecided, her first reaction was to ask Chu Yu for his opinion.

Watching Chu Yu, who was holding the document and flipping through it carefully, Yang Yuchan thought to herself that if Chu Yu was willing to work hard and be diligent, perhaps he could be more powerful than his brother Chu Xuan in the future.

Cheers erupted from the basketball court. Yang Yuchan tilted her head and found that Lu Shi had scored another point.

She quietly sighed in her heart but, the power of love is too strong!

After closing the file, Chu Yu commented straightforwardly, The risk is too high, the profit too small, and it can easily capsize. I dont recommend it, however, if youve fixed your mind on it, its also not impossible. In any case, Ill save a sum of money so when you lose a lot of funds and run out, Ill lend it to you with high interest.

Okay, I see, Ill think about it some more.

Yang Yuchan put away the documents and exhaled. Maybe Im still in too much of a hurry.

On the court, Chu Yu saw Lu Shi leap in two steps. The wind caused the corner of his shirt to flap up, revealing a strong, thin waist and abdomen.

It was another successful dunk. While the backboard was shaking, Lu Shi seemed to have sensed something. He turned his head and looked in Chu Yus direction.

The eyes of the two people crossed mid-air.

Chu Yu made a gesture and smiled at Lu Shi.

Dream-Ge and Zhang Yueshan were just below the backboard. When they saw this scene, they covered their eyes with their hands and muttered, I didnt see anything.

When Lu Shi ran to the middle of the court, Chu Yu looked away and asked Yang Yuchan, Why are you in a hurry?

Its not a big deal. Yang Yuchan became somewhat gloomy. You should know a little about the situation at my house, right?

Seeing Chu Yu nod, she continued, My dads illegitimate child who was raised outside is only a year younger than me and is now a freshman in high school. I must make outstanding achievements in the coming two years for my dad to witness.

She smiled bitterly. Or else, it wont be certain whether half of the Yang familys property will be distributed to my mother and I in the future.

After speaking, Yang Yuchan paused for two seconds, adjusted her expression, then returned to her usual appearance and smilingly said, Whether I say these things or not is all useless. In any case, Ill try my best to prove to my dad that the successor worthy of nurturing is me.

Chu Yu didnt know how to comfort her at the moment.

In fact, he had experience in proving something to parents and whatnot, but it was a failed experience, nothing more.

Thinking that it was pointless to add anything, Chu Yu finally just said to Yang Yuchan, Jiayou, I believe you can do it.

Right that instant, there was another exclamation from the court. Chu Yu turned his head and saw Lu Shi dazzlingly score another point.

It was obviously a marvelous gameplay, but it seemed like there was still no one watching Lu Shi?

Chu Yu was puzzled and couldnt help asking Yang Yuchan, Have you noticed that Lu Shis popularity seems to have dropped a bit?

Yang Yuchan looked towards the basketball court and quickly understood what Chu Yu was referring to.

Did you realize that almost no one is sending love letters to Lu-Shen anymore?

Chu Yu nodded.

Is there no one looking for Lu-Shen on the road anymore, requesting his contact information or giving gifts, or hitting on him?

Chu Yu continued nodding.

Even when Lu-Shens playing basketball, not that many girls come to watch, right?

Chu Yu nodded again. Yes!

Yang Yuchan stood up, picked up her school bag, and nimbly left behind a sentence, You see, most of us girls arent interested in married menSo Yang Yuchan said instead of , the first one denotes a man being married to a man while the latter being a man being married to a woman. She knows, everybody knows lmao..

She winked and motioned Chu Yu to look at the girls standing across the court. Those students standing there are basically interested in the two of you.

She also deliberately added an emphasis on the words two of you.

Im leaving now. Im going back to the dormitory to do my homework.

When Yang Yuchan had walked far away, Chu Yu came back to his senses shit, married men? When was it exposed?

When Zhang Yueshan was substituted out during half-time, he found that Chu Yu had a dazed look on his face.

He unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, poured it on his head, and shook his head from side to side, trying to shake the water off.

Chu Yu was splashed and snapped out of it. Class Rep, are you possessed by a watering can?

He then murmured, When was it exposed?

Seeing Chu Yus creased brows, Zhang Yueshan decided to make full use of the spirit of helpfulness and assist his classmate. School Flower, what are you worried about? Whats exposed?

After listening to Chu Yus whole story, Zhang Yueshan was surprised and felt a little pity for him. You just found out? Hasnt there always been a forum on the school website, the section where only our school students can log in with their student ID. You and Lu-Shens CPCP is an abbreviation of either couple or character pairing. building there probably has thousands of floors, its super spectacular!

Chu Yu was a little confused.

He knew about that discussion forum, but he didnt like to gossip so hed never logged in except the first few times.

Thus, when Chu Yu used his student number to log into Jianing Privates forum, he saw the post Zhang Yueshan was talking about at a glance.

It was tagged with a bright red HOT, with thousands of comments underneath; it was indeed spectacular.

Chu Yu took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and clicked open the post, scrolled straight down, and read the latest thread.

[OMG, I returned from a barbecue with my dorm mates and ran into them on the road next to the basketball court; we were walking behind them. Holy smokes, the exciting part came when School Flower whispered to Lu-Shen, lips to ears! I swear on my life that this could never be some socialist brotherhood!!]

Zhang Yueshan sighed, These classmates seem like they havent seen much of the world. Isnt it just whispering with the mouth plastered to the ear? Im already used to seeing that!

Chu Yu touched his nose and decided to pretend he didnt hear anything.

He pulled down to refresh, and a new piece of content emerged.

[School Grass x School Flower is a treasure CP! The past me used to like Lu-Shens face, but present me only likes seeing Lu-Shen and School Flower standing together!]

After reading this, Zhang Yueshan strongly agreed, This classmate has good eyesight and aesthetics. I also like seeing you and Lu-Shen stand together, its easy on the eyes!

Chu Yu momentarily didnt know what words to use to describe his feelings, so he could only comment, Im also fond of seeing them stand together.

Zhang Yueshan pretended to be shocked. I didnt know you were actually so shameless, School Flower!

Chu Yu corrected, This is called being quite self-aware!

It was Monday morning self-study, and most of the class students had arrived early.

Li Hua did his homework like it was his last day on earth, to the point that his fingers moving the pen were almost rigid. I really cant understand, whats the point of assigning so much homework! I simply cant finish it at all!

As it was the last semester of the second year students, Old Ye and the teachers of various subjects began talking about third year. There was originally a lot of homework, but now there was a trend of it doubling.

Apart from Study Com whod struggled to stay up late doing his best to complete each subject, Zhang Yueshan and Li Hua had merely picked their weak subjects to answer, otherwise they wouldnt have even been able to play basketball for two hours.

Chu Yu, who had Lu Shi the super plug-in, had earnestly completed the questions Lu Shi asked him to do. When Lu Shi said that he didnt need to do it, hed just copy it as he pleased.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yueshan sighed deeply. The nib of his pen was about to jab the paper into a mushy mess. Its not my age or immature mind that prevents me from experiencing the beauty of love, rather its my homework! A heap load of homework!

En En, yes, you guys are right!

Chu Yu distractedly nodded in agreement while flipping through the fashion magazine in his hand.

This magazine wasnt published externally, Yang Yuchan ordered them. The girls in class loved reading them, and oftentimes, a single magazine could pass through the hands of all the girls in the class.

The one in Chu Yus hand was intercepted by him without permission, and it was related to jewelry. A number of things inside had a purchase method which was to order and pay online, then have it delivered to a designated address.

Chu Xis birthday was coming up soon. Chu Yu planned to buy a jewelry set and send it directly overseas as a birthday present for his sister.

After picking here and choosing there, he ultimately nominated three sets of jewelry.

Chu Yu struggled for a long time but was still stuck in the final selection, so he turned to Lu Shi for help. Lu-Ge come, take a look, which jewelry set do you think looks the best?

Lu Shi was holding a pencil and solving problems. He lowered his head and made a decision in three seconds. He put his finger on the page and pointed. This set of diamonds.

Okay, then Ill buy this set.

Chu Yu scanned the QR code with his phone, filled in the consignees name and address, and paid.

When he finished placing the order, he found that Lu Shi had taken the magazine and was turning its pages.

The main point was, Lu Shi was also placing an order with his phone.

Chu Yu was curious. What did you buy?

Putting the phone back in his bag, Lu Shi pinched his pencil. Youll know tomorrow.

Early the next morning, not long before dawn, the school broadcast played majestic and impassioned music.

While Chu Yu sang along unconsciously in his heart, he grabbed a pillow and covered his ears. After covering it for a while, he opened his eyes and suddenly realized that there was no one in his bed.

Sitting up, Chu Yu got out of bed with his eyes half-open. He put on his slippers and went to the bathroom first. After confirming that no one was inside, he changed direction and walked to the door, intending to open it and find the person.

As soon as his hand touched the doorknob, it opened from the outside.

Seeing Lu Shi come in, Chu Yu returned to a half asleep and half awake state. He yawned, turned to lie back on the bed, and covered his ears with a pillow again.

Lu Shi was wrapped in the early morning mist of spring.

He closed the window, cutting off the sound of the broadcast for the most part. After that, he put the gift box in his hand on the desk, unwrapped it, and finally opened a dark blue velvet square box.

Spring drowsiness was urging him to hibernate, so Chu Yu fell asleep once more.

Perhaps due to feeling a little hot, his feet were peeking out of the quilt.

Chu Yus skin was white and delicate, his fingernails were a healthy pink, on his insteps were distinct bluish-green veins, and his round bones at the joints protruded like the most meticulous masterpiece of a sculptor.

After standing by the edge of the bed and watching for a while, Lu Shi approached. His fingers gripped Chu Yus ankle with hints of scorching heat in his eyes.

It wasnt until the alarm clock rang for the fourth time that Chu Yu threw away the pillow and tried opening his eyes.

Hearing the movement, Lu Shi put down the book in his hand, and as usual, grabbed Chu Yus clothes and stood by the bed.

Chu Yu with drooping eyes, sat up, and vaguely mumbled good morning. He habitually spread his arms and waited for Lu Shi to help him change his clothes.

After having his pants changed, Chu Yu stepped on the carpet barefoot, and limply clung onto Lu Shis body. Hug me, I mightve been poisoned, my whole body is weak, I cant stand stably

Lu Shi embraced Chu Yus waist, gathered the person into his arms, and kissed his soft hair.

Chu Yus chin rested on Lu Shis shoulder, and it was only after some time that his sleepiness dissipated.

He stood up straight and lifted his feet to go to the bathroom when he suddenly felt something amiss.

There was a cold, chilly sensation on his ankle.

Chu Yu bowed his head in doubt and saw at a glance, a fine precious metal chain put around his ankle at some unknown point in time.

It was very light, the size was just right, the style was simple, and there was no sense of its existence except for a little coldness.

Chu Yu moved his ankle and looked at Lu Shi.

Is this chain what you bought yesterday?

Mm.

Lu Shi knelt on the floor with one knee, held Chu Yus ankle, raised it, and placed his foot on his knee. Then he leaned over and dropped a gentle kiss on the tight lines of Chu Yus calf.

Touching the metal chain with his fingers, Lu Shi asked in a husky voice, Do you like it?

There was undisguised obsession in his eyes.

Chu Yus foot, which was stepping on Lu Shis knee, rubbed against it unconsciously.

The look in Lu Shis eyes made his heart inexplicably tremble, while making him a bit excited deep inside.

He nodded. I like it, but why did you buy me an anklet?

Fingers pressed against the raised round bone of Chu Yus ankle and gently drew a circle. Lu Shi continued softly drawing circles as he said in a very light voice, Because I want to keep you in a tight circle so that you cant leave me for even half a step.

The author has something to say: Heres a magazine where youll see love in the shape of hearts when flipping to the first page~ chup
