Lu Shi had been kissing Chu Yu’s lips, but it was only limited to the touching of their mouths.

Chu Yu felt that it wasn’t enough and called out in a breathless voice, “Lu Shi—”

“Love me?”

Chu Yu understood what Lu Shi wanted to ask, so with his lowered voice, he hurriedly replied, “I love you, only you, and you alone…”

This answer seemed to have struck the hidden excitement within Lu Shi’s heart. He instantly slid through Chu Yu’s teeth and kissed him deeply.

Obsessed with such an intense, intrusive and possessive kiss, Chu Yu wrapped his arms around Lu Shi’s neck, raised his chin, and inclined the side of his neck to pander to his kiss.

‘Dong’, Chu Yu’s elbow lightly hit the door behind him.

The knocking on the door stopped, Dream-Ge mustn’t have left yet.

Chu Yu felt anxious, and sure enough, across the thin door, he heard Dream-Ge confusedly say to himself, “The door seems to have sounded just now?”

After two seconds, knocks on the door echoed again. “Lu-Shen, are you inside? Are you there?”

The door vibrated, and Chu Yu’s heartbeat sped faster than ever.

On the other hand, Lu Shi movements were slow. He bit Chu Yu’s earlobe neither lightly nor heavily, and teased, “Little rascal, you like stimulation?”

Chu Yu wanted to retort that he didn’t.

But he too couldn’t tell whether it was intentional or not when his elbow hit the door just now.

Not wanting to face this shameful problem, Chu Yu chose to run his fingers through Lu Shi’s hair, press the person down, and continue kissing.

Outside the door, Dream-Ge stared at the tightly shut door and its seams void of any light. He touched his chin. “Did I just imagine that?”

After concluding as such, he looked at the room’s door several more times before leaving.

The next day, Chu Yu and Lu Shi went downstairs. As soon as they reached the end of the stairs, they ran into a pale-white Dream-Ge.

Chu Yu was surprised. “What happened overnight? Dream-Ge, why are you like, like—”

“Like someone ravaged 800 times by an evil spirit, with dull, soulless eyes and a pale complexion,” Li Hua accurately finished what Chu Yu started.

“Yeah yeah yeah!” Chu Yu nodded repeatedly. “That’s what I meant!”

He scanned Dream-Ge. “So what’s the matter? Is Dream-Ge sick?”

“What evil spirit, I’m innocent! Really!”

Dream-Ge tried to punch the wall to show his anger. Unexpectedly, when he actually executed the action, it only looked like he was caressing the wall.

He furiously withdrew his hand. Acting as if nothing happened, he complained, “I placed an order online a few days ago and bought something good which will let me cook hot pot secretly in my room!”

“And then?”

“I did exactly that, I bought the vegetables and the hot pot ingredients. Last night, I went upstairs to call you and Lu-Shen, but you two weren’t there. It was regrettable that you both missed the hot pot gathering in my room.”

Dream-Ge then added a profound sentence. “What we ate wasn’t hot pot, but youth!”

Remembering how he was being kissed by Lu Shi behind the door when Dream-Ge came knocking last night, Chu Yu felt a little uncomfortable and his expression stiffened. “So, did you have diarrhea after eating hot pot?”

Dream-Ge didn’t raise his head and suddenly stopped talking.

Li Hua spun the pen in his hand. “Class Rep, Study Com, and I didn’t have any problems.”

Dream-Ge remained silent.

“After we finished eating hot pot, we dispersed and returned to our dorm rooms to review. Study Com stayed up all night memorizing key points and witnessed Dream-Ge, who’d been asleep till midnight, suddenly remember that there was still a piece of cow fat left uneaten. He couldn’t hold back, so he got out of bed and turned on the heat to cook the cow fat. But the light from his cellphone flashlight wasn’t good, so the cow fat wasn’t cooked thoroughly—”

“Dream-Ge got diarrhea after eating it?”

“Yeah, all night.”

Dream-Ge coughed twice to clear his throat. “In fact, I want to use my own story to inform my fellow classmates that it’s really bad if you don’t turn on the lights while cooking hot pot!”

Chu Yu was amused. As they exited from the door of the dormitory building, he gently nudged Dream-Ge with his elbow. “Then your sacrifice is immense!”

Dream-Ge had a huge reaction, causing him to prop himself up with a lamppost. “Stop stop stop, don’t touch me, I’m too weak at the moment.”

“Luo Jiaxuan!”

Before Chu Yu could process who Luo Jiaxuan was, he saw Dream-Ge stand upright within a second. His weakness moments ago was nowhere to be seen.

After a while, a girl in a school uniform ran over and stood in front of Dream-Ge. “Luo Jiaxuan, I just went to the cafeteria to buy buns but I couldn’t finish them all, do you want to eat the rest?”

Having said that, she handed over the bag she was carrying.

Chu Yu glanced at the logo and discovered that it was Dream-Ge’s favorite.

The corners of Dream-Ge’s mouth quickly turned into a parabola and he replied, “Of course! I can even finish ten or twenty of them for you!”

After Dream-Ge walked away with his girlfriend, Li Hua sighed, “That’s love right there!”

The exam lasted three days in a row, and the frontlines1 were stretched awfully long. Whether it was the proctor teacher or the students who took the exams, they were all tired and weary.

The last one was English.

Chu Yu’s examination room was ranked last. As soon as he sat down, he heard someone chatting behind him.

“How much did you score on the English test last time?”

“79.”

“Damn, only 11 points left from passing! Awesome! Dude, can you fly me some answers for the exam in a while? If I get caught, I’ll never snitch on my allies!”

As for the guy in front of him, he’d been sleeping on the desk from the moment he sat down. His hearing ability was strong, for he suddenly woke up like a corpse’s last hurrah2, wrote at a tremendous speed, and filled out the answers on the entire exam paper in five minutes.

Chu Yu, who witnessed the whole process, silently exclaimed in his heart, ‘Fucking awesome!’

After writing the essay, Chu Yu put down his pen, looked at the time, and found that there was still an hour left. The thing was, the papers couldn’t be submitted in advance, so he could only sit and wait for the bell to ring.

The waiting time was extraordinarily long. Chu Yu’s chin bobbed bit by bit, and as he was about to fall asleep in his daze, the long awaited bell finally rang.

While slowly tidying his exam permit and pen, he suddenly noticed something. As soon as Chu Yu turned around, he saw Lu Shi who’d been waiting at the door since who knew when.

Everyone was obviously wearing the same school uniform, but Lu Shi simply wore it better than others. It wasn’t known if it was because of his indifferent expression, but many students who passed by Lu Shi would take a turn after two steps outside and try their best to avoid him.

Chu Yu grabbed his stuff and took several steps to Lu Shi’s side. “Let’s go let’s go, the tests are finally done!”

Lu Shi’s eyes softened. “How long did you sleep?”

Chu Yu was stunned. “How did you know I was sleeping?”

“Here,” cool fingertips slid from the corner of Chu Yu’s eyes as Lu Shi replied, “there’s sleep marks.”

After the exams, the atmosphere of the whole school was the same as that of the Chinese New Year’s celebration. There were still several days before the results were released anyway, when else would be the best time to get high if not now?

When Chu Yu and Lu Shi arrived downstairs, they saw someone throwing notebooks and shredded papers from the third floor, as if making it snow.

After a while, a cleaning aunt who came out of nowhere carrying a broom, rushed upstairs in a few big strides.

There was loud laughter all around as countless students took out their cellphones to take videos. It took a while for Chu Yu to notice the phone ringing in his bag. He answered it. “Aunt Lan, are you here?”

Aunt Lan’s voice was very gentle. “Mm, we’ve already packed up, Young Master can just come out directly.”

After hanging up, Chu Yu held the phone and hesitated for two seconds before saying, “Uhm… Aunt Lan and them are here.”

“Hm.”

Chu Yu had told Lu Shi in advance that after the exam, he had to go home first and move the things in his dorm room back home before he could head to Qingchuan Road to find him the next day.

It was obviously less than 24 hours, but Chu Yu inexplicably felt a sense of reluctance.

He was very unwilling to part.

For a long time now, he and Lu Shi had been together practically from morning to night. He was already completely used to it, and there was always the feeling of the person’s presence in the corner of his eye.

Thinking that he was becoming more and more unreasonable, Chu Yu tried to smile and say, “Wait for me, I’ll come find you tomorrow!”

Lu Shi nodded. “Take care.”

“Okay, you too!”

Chu Yu turned around and was about to leave, but just as he took a step, Lu Shi’s hand reached out and grabbed his wrist.

However, after only a few seconds of holding it, he let go.

Chu Yu couldn’t help laughing— it turned out he wasn’t the only one who was unwilling to part.

Chu Yu left from the school gate, pen in hand.

Similar to the situation at the beginning of the school year, the entire street outside Jianing Private looked like a venue of a car show, filled with parked vehicles. The black Rolls Royce from Chu Yu’s house was very conspicuous. As soon as he approached, Uncle Chen got out of the car and opened the back door for him.

“Chu Yu!”

Hearing someone call his name, Chu Yu turned his head and saw Yang Yuchan standing in front of a white Bentley, waving at him. “I sent another plan to your mailbox, read it and send me a reply!”

Chu Yu made a hand gesture then said, “See you next semester” and got into the car.

I think I encountered this in my other novel. If I remember correctly, there’s a superstition in which a dead body would suddenly wake up for a brief moment to achieve a last wish, or because it had been temporarily possessed by a spirit.
