Chapter 14 - Neighbor

Start from the beginning
                                    

He reckoned that he was the only underachiever on this floor.

Following Lu Shi, Chu Yu hesitated if he should go up and talk to him.

But... what should he say?

I sucked so much blood from you, are you dizzy?

Do you want to take iron supplements? I'll buy them for you!

Did you catch a cold when you went home last night?

What did you have for supper?

Before he could sort out his thoughts, Chu Yu saw a tall and thin boy wearing glasses waving at Lu Shi from the end of the second-floor corridor.

He looked familiar and Chu Yu soon recognized him as Zhu Zhifei, who he'd eaten with before.

Zhu Zhifei spoke to Lu Shi.

"Lu-Ge, did Shitou call you? I've already been bombarded by three phone calls!"

"No, what's the matter?"

Lu Shi's eyelashes drooped. He put his right hand in his pocket and slightly lowered his head as he listened to Zhu Zhifei talk; his neck, inclined to the side, drew a clean and beautiful line.

"It's already Saturday tomorrow, we have to go back. He's already bought the electric stove and the hot pot ingredients, he's also been asking around how to make the soup base." Zhu Zhifei pushed his glasses up. "I heard Shitou's tone and he's a little too excited, but Lu-Ge, are you going back this weekend?"

Jianing Private didn't strictly control the students who lived on campus. No one cared whether they were in school or not on weekends, as long as they were in the dormitory when it was time to check the beds Sunday night.

However, Zhu Zhifei knew that Lu Shi lived alone and was the only one at home. There was no one to chat with even if he went back, so he only used to visit Qingchuan Road for ten to fifteen days a year back when he still attended the branch school.

Lu Shi pinched the black gel pen in his left hand. The air around him was heavy after waking up, coupled with a face void of expression, he looked cold. "Yeah, I want to return."

"I think Shitou gets lonely as soon as the two of us are gone because there wouldn't be anyone to hang out with." Zhu Zhifei suddenly caught a glimpse of the person walking two steps behind them. He was surprised and stopped to greet him. "Young Master?"

Lu Shi also stopped and turned to look at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu felt uncomfortable.

He answered dryly, "Good morning."

Lu Shi replied, "Morning."

"Good morning!" Zhu Zhifei saw Lu Shi's cold face and worried that Chu Yu would feel awkward. Promptly, he enthusiastically said, "Lu-Ge and I are going to the cafeteria for breakfast. Would you like to go together? Three people are just right."

He had a good impression of Chu Yu, and adding on his previous episode of gossiping directly in front of Chu Yu, he was a bit embarrassed even up till now.

But after he finished speaking, Zhu Zhifei regretted it again- Lu Shi didn't seem to have the greatest of fondness towards Chu Yu since the very beginning, and it had even spread that the two of them were on bad terms on the first day of school. Wasn't it very inappropriate of him to invite Chu Yu so recklessly?

In the botanical garden yesterday afternoon, Chu Yu drank too much blood. He didn't have an appetite for anything and even hated the thought of sugar.

Hearing the word 'cafeteria', he quickly refused, "I'm not hungry, you guys can go."
