Chapter 85: Yearning and thinking of me alone

85th -Yearning and thinking of me alone

Translator: Xena Editor: Sammy

Sorry it was a bit late, supposed to update last sunday but I didnt have internet. Just had my first day of  face-to-face class yesterday too (after 2 long years, finally). Its been too hectic for me, but fighting!!! Last three chapters, lezgooooo

While they were heading to the ginkgo tree next to the ancient well of the Taoist temple, Dream-Ge waved from a distance. School Flower! Lu-Shen! You guys are walking too slowly!

Li Hua poked Dream-Ge with his elbow. You talk too much.

Dream-Ge didnt respond for a while, not knowing why Li Hua poked him.

Blinking his eyes a few times, he suddenly felt enlightened. Dream-Ge stifled his voice. Damn, you mean they, they He shielded his mouth with his hands and whispered, Did they have a lovers rendezvous in the woods? That exciting?

Chu Yu approached and only vaguely heard two words. What woods?

Dream-Ge immediately stood up straight and said with a grin, Its nothing ah, I was just telling Li Hua that the woods on this mountain are so dense and pleasantly cool!

The ancient well was surrounded by a fence, and beside it was a stone tablet with the words Qing Liang Jing engraved on it.

Old Ye was standing beside the stone tablet next to the ancient well, fanning himself with two palm-sized leaves and saying, Class Monitor, come and check if everyone is here. Well be taking pictures when were all present!

Zhang Yueshan then counted. Teacher, there are still three people left.

Okay, then well wait. Students can take this opportunity to get close to nature. When learning Endless, Dreary Fall of Trees in the future, youll be able to imagine what being endless means in this endless fall. Speaking of which, this reminds me of an ancient saying. Shuowen Jiezi mentioned that when the grass loses its leaves, its called wither, but when trees lose their leaves, its called falling

The Ginkgo trees were very old and were planted here hundreds of years ago. Their emerald-green tree tops spread widely, and their canopy was shady, allowing only tiny specks of light to scatter on the ground.

Chu Yus sharp eyes singled out a heart-shaped ginkgo leaf which he then grasped in his hand.

After Lu Shi had said those two words to him under the eaves of the Taoist temple, he felt more at ease, and his whole person became relaxed again.

Handing the ginkgo leaf to Lu Shi, Chu Yus eyes revealed a clear, bright smile. Here, for you, the leaf of love!

Lu Shi accepted it, picked a book from his black bag, and carefully placed the leaf inside it.

Zhang Yueshan, who was watching from the side, moved over to his desk mate to say, Why do I always feel that around Lu-Shen and School Flower, there seems to be a magical barrier, making it impossible for other people to get close.

Li Hua held a dried up branch he picked up from somewhere and spun it smoothly like a pen. Thundemiskovsky said this is called the barrier of love.

Theres actually a scientific basis? Fucking awesome! Zhang Yueshan, whod learnt Dream-Ges commonly used expression, wondered, Then

Before he could finish asking, he heard Old Ye shout, Everyone is here. Class Monitor, come over to organize!

Zhang Yueshan got up. Ill be going first, Ill come back later so tell me then!

Fang Ziqi, who had seized the time to memorize words even during the spring outing, closed his vocabulary book. Who is ThundemiskovskyIts probably a play on Peter Tchaikovskys name.? Theres no entry related to this persons name in my knowledge inventory, I cant allow this to happen!

An are you stupid? expression was plastered over Li Huas face. Because its a name I just made up. How can barrier of love be a thing?

Fang Ziqi:

Zhang Yueshans organizational skills were very strong. After a few minutes, all of Class A was standing up.

Old Ye watched his students with a satisfied smile on his face. He took out the camera hed borrowed and captured a few pictures in 7 to 8 different angles before saying in a raised voice, Okay, everyone can move freely, the most important thing is to pay attention to safety. At five oclock in the afternoon, were to assemble down the mountain!

In the evening, when everyone had gotten on the bus, the group photos taken were sent to the class group chat. Old Ye told everyone to vote as the two photos with the highest votes were to be sent for printing.

The length of the journey was long, and there was nothing to do in the bus except sleeping, chatting, or playing with cell phones.

This matter of voting for photos had aroused everyones interest at the right time.

Hahahaha Lin Shicheng, why are your eyes closed even when you open them? I cant find any picture where you have your eyes open!

Dream-Ge, can you not fucking grow taller, any taller and your head wouldve touched the leaves!

My god, Lu-Shen and School Flower really raised the whole class attractiveness index. Their faces are amazing, its surprising that they can look this good in Old Yes camera lens!

Old Yes skills are dope, hahaha, there were two pictures where I wasnt in the frame!

Be considerate, its Old Yes first time taking pictures. By the time we graduate from 3rd year of high school, Old Ye will be able to take beautiful graduation photos for us!

They agreed to vote for the photos, but as they chatted, the topic unavoidably diverged in different directions. In short, when the bus had driven back to the school, there was still no result.

Contrarily, Old Ye was happily not in a hurry. He told everyone to choose carefully after they go home.

Chu Yu had climbed the mountain earlier, and then followed Dream-Ge and the others to hang out by the stream below the Taoist temple. At the end of the day, he was so tired that his soul was about to exit his body.

He dragged his footsteps into the dormitory. Ge, I cant do this anymore. Ive truly exceeded the maximum exercise limit for this body today! I have to rest for two days no three days to recover!

Lu Shi watched him spread his legs and cross his arms as he lay on the back of a chair, his whole body like a sun-dried flower. Should I go take a shower first?

Mm, you go first. Ill go after you finish.

With Chu Yus face pillowed on the back of his hand, he kept a comfortable posture and didnt want to move any more. His ears were inclined to the side, listening to Lu Shi as he went into the bathroom, closed the door, and turned on the shower.

The sound of the water falling onto the ground wasnt very clear, but it didnt prevent Chu Yu from silently imagining several frames of images.

At that time, Lu Shis voice came from the bathroom. Chu Yu, the shower gel is gone.

Shower gel?

Chu Yu tilted his head and thought about it. In his memory there seemed to have been a lot left? But it was also possible that his memory was wrong.

Thus, Chu Yu actively got up, took an unopened bottle of orange blossom scented shower gel from the cabinet, stood at the door, and knocked on it twice. I brought it Lu-Ge, open the door.

The door opened a crack. Lu Shis white skin was stained with water droplets, and the black rope bracelet had become darker because of the water.

Why is this wrist so beautiful?

Chu Yu took two more glances, then lifted the shower gel bottle to hand it over. Unexpectedly, Lu Shi bypassed the shower gel and grabbed his wrist.

Unprepared, Chu Yu was pulled into the bathroom.

What are you doing, Lu Shi? Dont oh

After taking a bath for almost an hour, Chu Yus clothes were all wet, so he had to come out wrapped in a bath towel, and his legs were weak when walking. His face was also a little red due to lack of oxygen inside, and his lips were slightly swollen after being kissed.

Sitting lazily on the bed, Chu Yu couldnt muster any more energy, feeling that his last bit of vitality had been drained. He reflected deeply, how could he have fallen into Lu Shis plan so easily?

Beauty is misleading!

Lu Shi got the hairdryer and helped Chu Yu dry his hair skillfully and meticulously.

Shaking his head, Chu Yu raised his hand and tugged at the corner of Lu Shis clothes. I want to drink water first, it should be warm.

After he finished speaking, he pointed to his feet. My legs are soft so I cant walk.

Lu Shi enjoyed Chu Yus dependence very much. He turned around to find a cup to pour water in, and didnt even let Chu Yu raise his hand; feeding him the water with his lips instead.

It always felt very risky to kiss like this. Chu Yu really didnt want to do it again, so he quickly grabbed the cup and drank the water in a few gulps.

After tidying up, only a dimly lit night light was left on inside the dark room.

On the bed, Chu Yu grabbed Lu Shis arm, put it on his pillow, and explained his behavior, If I dont sleep on you as a pillow, Ill have nightmares.

Okay. Lu Shi indulged, kissing the side of Chu Yus face at the corner of his eye.

Chu Yu couldnt help shrinking his neck due to the itch caused by Lu Shis breath. Itchy!

He said so, but he was reluctant to back away. He could only shout itchy while letting Lu Shi kiss him.

In the transition period of late spring into early summer, two people were lying together close to one another with body temperatures touching; itd be a little hot.

Chu Yu stealthily poked a foot out of the corner of the quilt. Feeling comfortable, he moved again, exposing his entire calf.

So comfortable!

He was in a good mood. He seriously said to Lu Shi as he remembered something, Well be turning on the air conditioner when the weather gets warmer. Itll be very cold so Ill have to sleep next to you. During winter, itll be too cold to even think about. Lu Shi, when the time comes, you need to hug me to sleep. I only sleep well if you hug me to sleep.

Under the dim lighting of the night light, his eyes seemed to be soaked in two bright ambers, containing straightforward and undisguised dependence.

Without you, Ill be cold, and I wont even be able to sleep well.

Lu Shis nose brushed against Chu Yus soft hair as he replied in a low voice, Okay, all right.

Under the thin quilt, Chu Yu held Lu Shis hand.

It was late at night and the whole dormitory was quiet. There was no noise in the corridor outside the door, and it seemed that even the air had stilled.

There was only the sound of the other persons breathing.

After a long time, Chu Yu asked, Lu Shi, you, do you still hate them?

Lu Shis eyes revealed a bit of confusion at the question.

I dont know.

Lu Shi rarely had this kind of an uncertain moment. Hed always been tenacious, patient, and purposeful.

However, at this moment, in the face of Chu Yus inquiry, he chose to be frank.

I want to hate.

Previously, this was the center of gravity and fulcrum of his life; the force that drove him to keep moving forward.

But now, I dont know who to hate.

Jiang Yueman couldnt live again, Fang Weiyun paid with her life, Lu Shaochu and Fang Weishan were imprisoned, and Lu Zhaohe was about to die

Who should he hate now?

Chu Yu inserted his fingers inch by inch between Lu Shis fingers.

He suddenly propped himself halfway up, lowered his head, and looked down at Lu Shis eyes. Then stop hating.

If you hate, then youll be up at night, thinking about those bad guys whove hurt you and have blood on their hands. I forbid that.

Chu Yu raised his chin, his expression and tone obviously arrogant and possessive. Lu Shi, from now on, I want you to be up at night, unable to sleep, yearning and thinking about me, and only me alone.

In the darkness, Chu Yus eyes were clear and firm.

I am your accomplice.

I want to be with you.

Ill pull you up, and wont let you fall in.

I want you to yearn and think about me from now on.

The author has something to say: Heres a canopy in the shape of a heart as my love for you~
