Bite Your Fingertips (BL) (Complete)

Chapter 25 - Forget It, It's Up To You

It wasn't a question, but rather an affirmative statement.

Chu Yu's fur exploded. "Who? Who's going to stand in front of your door and cry? You point it out and make it clear!"

Lu Shi turned sideways, lazily leaned against the back of his chair, raised his hand, and pointed a finger at Chu Yu. Then he said with a hint of a smile in his voice, "Hm, I've pointed it out."

It was unknown if it was a conditioned reaction driven by instinct, or his anger that made him muddle-headed, but Chu Yu inched his way forward and very skillfully opened his mouth to bite Lu Shi's fingertip.

Wait, what am I doing?

Seeing Chu Yu's eyes subconsciously widen and his thick eyelashes tremble, Lu Shi lowered his eyes and pushed his fingertip a bit further into Chu Yu's mouth. His voice was soft and hoarse, as if drifting along the deep, dimly lit night outside the window. "Hungry?"

The sound landed in his ear and seemingly scratched his eardrums, making it itch. Chu Yu felt a little strange and his heart rapidly jumped twice.

He loosened his teeth and looked away in discomfort. "Not... not hungry yet."

"Hm."

Lu Shi retracted his hand and asked, "Something you needed me for?"

Chu Yu shook his head lightly.

"Want to tell me something?"

Still, Chu Yu shook his head, but after two seconds, he nodded.

"You... should know about it, right?"

"The calling father thing?"

He didn't know why, but when Lu Shi mentioned the matter, it indescribably sounded a bit childish and two parts shameful. Chu Yu nodded and explained, "Actually, I wasn't intending on putting up with Guan Yiyang. After all, the school is big and I'll always run into one or two idiots, but-"

Lu Shi cut in, "He said something that made you care greatly."

"How'd you know it was something he said?"

Chu Yu sat up straight. His lips moved and he repeated the sentence with some difficulty. "'Did your mother know that you were mud who couldn't support the wall so she spent money to buy you a school?' is what he said."

"You were very bothered?"

"En, I was very bothered. It could even be said that I was more bothered than I thought."

Chu Yu discontentedly leaned forward. His line of sight fell on the floor or maybe at some point in the air. "In fact, I myself don't really understand why my mother bought Jianing Private."

He explained in a low voice, "My brother and sister both attended boarding schools abroad during elementary school, and were successfully admitted into the world's top five universities. They're both outstanding people who others can only look up to. They don't possess qualities to which I can refer to, so I don't know if my mother would buy either of them a school to go to if they ever didn't get good grades."

He raised his eyes and stared at Lu Shi, unrestrained panic in his gaze. "Lu Shi, I... I'm quite afraid."

He couldn't tell what he was scared of.

Obviously, he was already used to his mother's indifference to him, but when someone put forward another hypothesis, his heart felt as if it were ruthlessly pierced by a steel needle.

He couldn't even come up with any evidence to prove that the other person's conjecture was wrong, let alone find a sufficient reason to refute with-

My mother bought the school not at all because she thought I was mud who couldn't support the wall.
