Bite Your Fingertips
#86-Chapter 86
On the second day after the spring outing, everyone hadn't slowed down yet, so he was headed by Lao Ye to drop an extra assignment-writing an essay on the theme of the spring outing.
Brother Meng scratched his head, spread out the composition paper, and wrote the first sentence, “It’s a bit hot on the spring outing day. After all, it’s summer, so I brought three bottles of mineral water.”
Yang Yutong happened to pass by and glanced at the beginning of Brother Meng's composition, shocked, "Just make a sentence at the level of an elementary school student, how did you pass your Chinese?"
Brother Meng thought carefully, "Probably, it depends on the grading teacher who is true, good and beautiful, and merciful?"
Yang Yuchan had nothing to say, bypassing Brother Meng and went to the last row of the classroom.
The composition paper in front of Chu Yu didn't write a word, and his eyes were muttering words without a thought, "We are going to climb the mountain. There is a Taoist temple on the mountain. There are wells and ginkgo trees next to the Taoist temple. There is a stream in the back mountain. Ah, so happy today!"
After he finished reading, he asked Lu, "I wrote this and handed it in. Will Lao Ye doubt life?"
"No, he will let you rewrite."
Lu Shi put a page of draft paper in front of Chu Yu, "Detailed outline, edited according to it."
Yang Yuchan, who stood beside him for a while, cleared his throat quickly and said, "Uh... hello?"
Only then did Chu Yu notice Yang Yuchan, "Look for me? What's the matter?"
"The project that I discussed with you last time, I just got news that someone preempted me to invest money, and then I lost blood. After visual inspection, it will collapse even more."
Yang Yuchan was very grateful, "Fortunately you stopped me at the time, otherwise it would be me who lost money now."
Chu Yu didn't take credit for it, "I said it, but you want to listen, right."
He remembered, "By the way, didn't you mean that you haven't found any good projects to practice hands recently? I found one here. I will send it to your email later. You can see."
Yang Yuchan didn't ask much, and replied concisely, "Okay, I will give you an answer after reading it."
When Yang Yuchan left, Chu Yu leaned closer to talk to Lu Shi, sullenly, "It's over, if this continues, I think I might become a genius investor in the business world! Alas, I'm only 18 years old. !"
Lu Shi smiled in his eyes, raised his hand and squeezed Chu Yu's greasy earlobe, "Genius investor, you have to write the composition now."
Chu Yu suffered a bitter face for a second, looking at the composition paper and worried, "My day, genius investors are about to be killed by composition!"
The closer to the third year of high school, the faster the tension spreads.
For example, Fang Ziqi's dark circles under his eyes were two points heavier, making Chu Yu want to ask him what time he stayed up late every night.I am also very worried about what to do if the academic committee can't hold it and fainted in the classroom one day.
For another example, the number of times that Brother Meng jumped out to play basketball dropped sharply. When he was dating his girlfriend, four of the five times he made up for lectures.
Brother Meng also sighed, "It's horrible to make up lessons with your girlfriend. If you don't know how to talk three times, your girlfriend will cry. The tears are too lethal!"
Chu Yu answered, "It's different for me. I made up a lesson at Lu Shi's, and if I didn't know a question three times, Lu Shi would coax me."
Brother Meng was deeply puzzled, "Why coax you?"
Chu Yu: "Afraid of me crying!"
Brother Meng muttered in his heart, he finally wanted to show off his affection, why did he seem to be showing off?
The only spring outing is just like the wind, when people face a stack of test papers, they always wonder if the memory is true.
Next night, Chu Yu picks and chooses from a stack of examination papers, and can't help but mutter, "Where did they get so many papers, teacher?" He asked Lu Shi again, "Think of an idea, where do I bring this week? Go back to the papers for the class?"
"Mathematics and physics."
"Well, listen to you, two days on the weekend, I will favor mathematics and physics!"
Quickly set up the test papers, and Chu Yu casually stuffed a booklet that must memorize ancient poems into his school bag, "Walk around, finally waiting for the weekend, I will sleep until nine o'clock tomorrow! No, ten o'clock!"
He walked two steps, then back to the position where Lu Shi was shoulder to shoulder, with anticipation, "accompany me?"
"Well, stay in bed with you."
Chu Yu opened his eyebrows and smiled, "piu", "Send you a good boyfriend card!"
The two went downstairs together at similar steps.Chu Yu remembered what Lao Ye said today, "Summer vacation has to make up classes, so if you count it, you can't take a few days off!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Brother Meng suddenly sprang out from behind, "We are deprived of the right to spend the summer vacation! Angry! Angry!"
The strap of the schoolbag was broken, and Brother Meng was carrying it with one hand, and then remembered, "By the way, school flower, are you going to go abroad or go to school in China?"
Chu Yu discussed this issue with Lu Shi, “It should be a domestic university. When you want to go abroad, you can apply again. Anyway, you can definitely go out.”
Brother Meng nodded, "My mother is going to let me go abroad to study, and Li Hua will probably go out too, but we go to a different country, half the world apart."
Maybe it's not that time yet. When it comes to studying abroad, I don't have much real feeling.
Chu Yu paused, "What about your girlfriend?"
Brother Meng touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Of course it was with me. We applied to the same school. My mother also said, let me stand up and don't want my girlfriend to pass the exam, but I didn't pass it."
He was curious again, "By the way, the school clerk, then which university are you going to take? Do you have a goal?"
Chu Yu answered this question without hesitation, "Of course it was the university where Lu Shi was admitted."
Brother Meng didn't think there was anything wrong, "Sure enough, it's really scary to be serious! A school graduate, your grades have risen so fast, maybe you can really be a school with Lu Shen."
He slapped Chu Yu on the shoulder, "I have confidence in you!"
Lifting his chin, Chu Yu didn't think he might fail the test, "That must!"
He remembered again, "Waiting for you to go abroad in the future, I will send you hot pot ingredients across the Pacific!"
Brother Meng was moved, "Enough brother!"
When I walked to the school gate, I could see all kinds of private cars parked on the roadside at a glance.Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a car that was vaguely familiar. Chu Yuzheng wanted to look more and suddenly remembered, "Hey, no, I didn't finish reading the comic book before. I didn't seem to have it in the dormitory!"
He stood still, wondering whether to go back and get it. Lu Shi had already turned around and walked into the school.
Chu Yu followed, "Go to the dormitory?"
"Ok."
Lu Shi's arm casually and naturally put on Chu Yu's shoulders, and hugged the person around him, "Otherwise, if someone talks in sleep at night, they will have to talk about the ending yet."
Chu Yu was surprised, "Really? Have you ever heard me talk about this in my dream?"
"Well, I've heard it."
"Really?" Chu Yu became curious, "What else, besides chanting anime, what dreams did I say?"
"Will call my name."
"What?" Chu Yu didn't react.
On the small road where the light hadn't taken care of, Lu Shi looked down and repeated to Chu Yu in a low voice, "You will still be in your dreams, calling my name every time."
After taking the comic book, the two of them came out of the dormitory building. It was a delay in going up and down, and everyone in the school was almost finished.
Chu Yu handed the comic book to Lu Shi and asked him to help himself into the bag.When the zipper was pulled back again, he looked at the narrow end of Lu Shi's eyes and the delicate profile of his face under the street lamp, and his heart was itchy.
When he walked to the dark, there was no one in front and back. Chu Yu was bold, stretched his hand over, pinched the corner of Lu Shi's school uniform, and pulled it.
Perceiving the weak strength, Lu Shi lowered his eyes, and the tail tone tickled, "Huh?"
Taking advantage of this moment, Chu Yu raised his head and quickly kissed Lu Shi on the corner of his lips.
A very light kiss, but in the early summer night, it was particularly sultry.
Chu Yu smiled slyly, "Lu Shen, you are so sweet!"
Lu Shi put his hand in his pocket, his eyes filled with darkness, and he was about to speak, but a female voice came over, "Chu Yu."
With a heartbeat, Chu Yu initially thought it was his own auditory hallucinations. When he followed the voice and looked over, he saw Shi Yaling standing far away in a well-cut white windbreaker with an assistant.
The smile on Chu Yu's face faded.
Shi Yaling's hair curled up neatly, carrying a handbag, looking straight at Chu Yu, "Come here."
Chu Yu didn't move, but when he looked at Lu first, his voice was steady, "There are chairs there, you sit and wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Lu Shi also saw Shi Yaling, he withdrew his gaze, did not say much, just said, "Um, good."
Pulling the strap of the schoolbag, Chu Yu walked towards Shi Yaling's location.
The first picture that appeared in his mind was that Shi Yaling came to school because of cheating.In the school's small meeting room, Shi Yaling turned and walked out, stepping on the marble floor with high heels, making a crisp "click" sound.
Chu Yu stopped in front of Shi Yaling.
Assistant Catherine has retreated wittily.
Standing on the edge of the lawn, Chu Yu looked at Shi Yaling's brows and eyes with the not-so-bright light of the floor lamp, and finally bent his lips, "Mom, long time no see."
He paused for a moment, then said, "You seem to have lost a bit."
He calculated in his heart how long he hadn't seen Shi Yaling.But after counting, I found that it was not clear at all.
I just know, it's been a long time.
Shi Yaling remained calm and composed, without anger or scolding. Instead, she stated, "I have a meeting nearby, Catherine reminded me, today Friday."
Only her cold voice revealed her restrained anger.
Chu Yu answered naturally, "So you decided to come and pick me up?"
Raising her chin fifteen degrees habitually, Shi Yaling stood upright, "Yes. I didn't expect to see such a picture."
Shi Yaling did not ask who it was, what is your relationship, or what you are doing.She already had a definite answer in her heart.
Chu Yu never thought of fooling around and saying that it was a classmate or friend, just joking.
On the contrary, Chu Yu was very calm.In other words, he had imagined this scene countless times.
He calmly said, "Sorry, I didn't prepare you mentally, but suddenly let you see this picture."
The words are very polite.
Even such a tone exists between mother and child, which seems weird.
Chu Yu thought, or this attitude is the most appropriate, right?
After all, his mother needs reminders from his assistant to remember that his son's school is nearby, and he can go home on Friday and two days on weekends.
Shi Yaling noticed Chu Yu's attitude, she frowned, "Aren't you going to explain?"
"Nothing to explain."
Chu Yu became more frank, "As you just saw, I'm in love, and I have someone I like, a man, of the same sex as me. I love him very much, and I am not going to break up with him.
After Chu Yu finished speaking, he felt very relaxed.He directly met Shi Yaling's gaze, without any guilty conscience or avoidance.
Even he himself was a little surprised, he could be so courageous.
Probably part of this courage comes from himself, and the other part comes from Lu Shi.
Shi Yaling's face was expressionless, her brows and eyes had a sharp look. She was in a high position all the year round, and she was very powerful. When she was silent, it was hard for anyone to dare to face her sharpness.
At this moment, she was choosing what kind of attitude to use to talk to Chu Yu.
After hearing Chu Yu's determination and toughness, her words were slightly soft, "Chu Yu, you never told your mother that you have someone you like."
When Chu Yu learned to land unconsciously, he put one hand in his pocket.His tone was neither soft nor hard, and replied, "Mom, we have only met twice in the past six months."
The tender scenes that Shi Yaling hurriedly set up were like bubbles that burst with a single poke.
For a time, both of them were speechless.
Only the wind of summer night passed by quietly.
Shi Yaling noticed that Chu Yu's changes were very obvious.
Such Chu Yu even made her feel strange.
An irritation rose from the bottom of her heart, Shi Yaling closed the corners of her lips, and calmly reprimanded, "You are only seventeen years old. The so-called love and liking are innumerable! When the so-called love between you suffers all kinds of shocks At that time, you will find that the so-called love is nothing but this. Chu Yu, I thought you were sensible, but unexpectedly, you were still impulsive and blind!"
In her words, there was a deep disappointment.
If it were to change from the past, Chu Yu would be stabbed by the sharp arrows that these disappointments turned into, and he didn't even know how to avoid it.
Even because I care too much, I try to correct it regardless of right or wrong, and try to become what my mother expects.
Because I want to be recognized.
But now, Chu Yu shook his head, "I don't agree with you."
It seems that even the wind has stagnated for a moment.
Shi Yaling had never felt such straightforward opposition and disobedience in Chu Yu.
She tightened her lips, "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, I am your mother, and I have the qualifications to discipline you!"
"First of all, Mom, what I want to correct you is that I am an adult. Of course, you are too busy to notice that my birthday is past, but it is true that I am an adult. Secondly,"
Chu Yu stopped talking, and the tip of his hair was blown by the wind, revealing the lines of his facial features.
The young man grows rapidly, and in the dim light, it can already be seen that the facial lines have more obvious edges and corners.
"Secondly, don't you think it's too late."
Without waiting for Shi Yaling to speak, Chu Yu first spoke, "I can understand you. You are accustomed to devoting your efforts to people or things worth investing in, but because you are too busy and have limited energy, you will limit the boundaries of everything. The drawing is clear."
Having said this, Chu Yu inhaled lightly before continuing, "You have arbitrarily divided me into the ranks of'inferior products' and abandoned me. However, my surname is Chu, a child conceived by you and father , So you provide me with a good life."
Chu Yu made an analogy, "Of course, just like a bird in a cage, you built a cage made of gold for me, a bowl made of precious stones, and fed me delicious food. Your requirement of me is that I must stay in a bird cage. Here, no accidents, no trouble, no worries, no time and attention of you. Am I right?"
Shi Yaling said nothing.
Chu Yu chuckles.
He looks exquisite and beautiful, and every inch of his facial features seems to have been carefully polished by the Creator.
Usually, Chu Yu has a rich expression and loves to laugh. When he laughs, his eyes seem to be filled with two amber lights.
But this time, the smile didn't touch the bottom of the eyes at all, and even the light-colored eyes showed two sharp points.
"So I said, you want to discipline me now, it's too late."
Shi Yaling was finally irritated, and she restrained her voice, "Chu Yu, I am your mother and your legal guardian! I will say it for the last time, separate from him!"
"and then?"
Chu Yu was not angry, but calmly asked, "Then proceed step by step, spend money to go to a university that does not fall into the reputation of the Chu family, find a right person to marry, give birth to a child surnamed Chu, and be a'defective' for life. Backed by the big mountain of the Chu family, under your restraint and discipline, can you live in a muddle-headed manner?"
He stood in place with his back straight, and his figure was peculiarly thin to a young man.
Chu Yu spoke each word clearly.
"Mom, you didn't want me first, and you gave up me first, so I also gave up you."
At this moment, Shi Yaling wanted to say something, but he felt that any words were so futile.
There was another moment of emptiness in my heart, as if it had been a long time ago, or in this moment, she had lost something.
After all the words that had been stirred in his heart for a long time were said, Chu Yu thought in his heart, he should be a grown-up, right?
He has his own goals, what he wants to do, and people he wants to protect.
He will no longer blindly try his best to get a certain person's approval.
Nor will it be disgusting and abandoning because of being given up by a certain person.
He is him, Chu Yu.
"Mom, I am eighteen years old."
Chu Yu's body was sparse, and his tone was completely relaxed.
He hangs a black schoolbag on one shoulder and puts his hands in his pockets, standing tall and straight.
"I lived as the me I expected. You have never taken care of me before, and you don't have to focus on me in the future."
Chu Yu replied what he wanted to tell Shi Yaling on the phone a long time ago, but didn't have time to finish.
"You should pay attention to your health. You are too busy at work, so you have to take a rest. Good night, mother."
Turning around, Chu Yu carried his schoolbag and walked towards Lu Shi.
Lu Shi stood by the lamppost waiting for him, his figure outlined in a warm halo by the light of the street lamp.
Chu Yu stood next to Lu Shi and said with a smile, "Leave Brother Lu, go home."
