Bite Your Fingertips (BL) (Complete)

Chapter 5 - Deskmate

Letting go of the phone, Chu Yu licked his dry lips.

The words he didn’t say were supposed to be— ‘have you ever dreamed of the same person for several nights?’

He had.

He’d been dreaming of Lu Shi for a handful of nights already.

Every time it would be that twisted alley, Lu Shi staring at him, and his left arm trickling with blood from the wound.

School began on the first of September and Chu Yu reported to school one day early. Uncle Chen drove him there and Aunt Lan also came along— the dormitory hadn’t been occupied for two months, so everything inside it had to be changed.

As the car drove onto the street outside Jianing Private, it got stuck in a bumper to bumper traffic. This happens every year on the first day, and last time, Chu Yu didn’t feel like waiting so he’d gotten out of the car and walked to school by himself.

However, now his strength was drained from feeling feverish these last few days. He leaned against the car’s glass window, staring weakly with a blank gaze.

Aunt Lan spoke to him.

“Early this morning, the elder young master and young miss called. They heard that the young master still hadn’t woken up, so they instructed not to disturb you and let you sleep properly.”

“Hmm.” Chu Yu pursed his lips. He slowly blinked twice then hesitantly asked, “My mother?”

Aunt Lan replied gently, “Madam didn’t call, she was probably too busy, but Madam is definitely thinking of you in her heart.”

Liar.

Chu Yu understood better than anyone else that his mother never thought of him in her heart at all.

When it was just a street away, the car crawled for half an hour before stopping at the school gate.

Presumably, the school gate had been newly painted during the summer vacation as it was glistening golden in the sun. Chu Yu walked in his school uniform, bypassing the spouting sculpture fountain and its rushing water, all the way to the school building.

The rows of trees beside the path were tall and lush, and there were many people crowding in front of the bulletin board. Chu Yu didn’t squeeze in because the second year students had been redistributed earlier today and the principal had sent his new class and floor information to his phone in advance.

The thing that Jianing Private School didn’t lack the most was money. It was clearly located within the second ring road but it covered an astonishingly large area. It didn’t run short of a library, soccer field, basketball court, tennis court, and even swimming pool. It also had a luxuriously built-in racecourse and a botanical garden with a glass greenhouse, and so on. Essentially possessing a range of facilities brimming with the decadent atmosphere of capitalism.

The school building was a magnificent European-style building with exterior walls and spires of red brick, giving it a strong academic ambiance. There were five floors in total with an elevator connecting them.

However, as far as the elevator capacity was concerned, it was better to climb the stairs than line up, unless you were a fool.

Chu Yu was that fool today.

He told himself that he was sick, and if he passed out halfway up the stairs, then he’d be a genuine fool.

When the elevator arrived for the fifth time, he was finally able to take it to the fourth floor.

Second Year Class A, Chu Yu’s new class.

By the time he arrived, the preparation bell had already rung and there were only two or three seats left in the classroom. Carrying an empty school bag, Chu Yu weakly shouted to the homeroom teacher standing on the podium, “Reporting.”
