Chapter 50 - Met You

Start from the beginning
                                    

At the beginning, Lu Shaochu wanted to use Lu Shi's affection towards Weiyun to ask him to return home.

But he now discovered that Lu Shi's rebound was much heavier than he expected, and his rejection towards Fang Weiyun was also very strong.

Therefore, he decided to change his strategy.

Lu Shaochu sighed and shook his head. "It's just that there's no eternal secret in the world. You still ended up learning of it. Although your mother is no longer your mother, we are nevertheless father and son. Everything in my hands will be yours in the future. Lu Shi, I only hope that this matter will not affect our father and son relationship."

"There's no eternal secret in the world."

Lu Shi repeated this sentence, his meaning unclear. "This sentence fits my heart's intentions."

He didn't listen to a word of Lu Shaochu's narration of the so-called truth.

Dystocia? Heh.

Lu Shaochu said with concern, "The house on Qingchuan Road is too old. Do you want to move to another residence?"

Lu Shi refused. "That's my mother's house."

"Alright alright, live there as long as you want. Dad will follow your wishes."

Seeing Lu Shi like this, Lu Shaochu felt more comfortable and safe in his heart.

The other had his own ideas which didn't easily change because of others, wisdom, and a firm mind. He'd been worried about him being used to relying too much on Fang Weiyun before and taking her too seriously. This attitude right now was great. One mustn't excessively value a person too much so that when he dealt with things later, there would be no biases, weak spots, or soft underbelly.

In addition, Lu Shi was smart and calm. He became more and more satisfied with this son.

The birthday banquet was over and the guests were sent away one by one until very late at night.

Lu Shaochu displayed a tired face as he pinched the space between his eyebrows. "Let's go back together and take a good rest. Tomorrow, Dad will personally take you to the airport."

Lu Shi loosened his tie with one hand. "I won't go back."

Lu Shaochu frowned. "Lu Shi!"

Lu Shi shot a glance at Fang Weiyun who was standing far away before standing still without saying a word.

The two people confronted each other.

In the end, it was Lu Shaochu who compromised. "You've grown up. I won't meddle with you, just pay attention to your safety."

Lu Shi turned and left.

Arriving at the hotel he was staying in, Lu Shi stood in the elevator.

The elevator's walls were mirrors.

Lu Shi looked at his reflection as if he could see the already tattered inside under the disguise.

The Lu Shi of the past was already dead. And the Lu Shi of the present was barely using hatred to hold onto that one breath.

With a 'ding', the doors opened. Lu Shi stepped out of the elevator, the carpet absorbing all the noise from his footsteps.

Turning a corner, Lu Shi raised his eyes to look forward when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

At the door of his room was a youth in a long white hoodie squatting down. His chin bobbed little by little as he was dozing off.

Lu Shi stood there for a few seconds before walking forward until he finally stood in front of Chu Yu. He crouched down.

He lifted his hand, but just as he was about to touch Chu Yu's hair, it froze midair and didn't dare to move an inch more.

He was afraid, afraid that it was merely an illusion.

"...Lu Shi?"

Chu Yu noticed it and called out Lu Shi's name in a daze. With half-opened eyes, he leaned his head directly on Lu Shi's knee while muttering in complaint, "If you didn't come back, I would've fallen asleep here."

Lu Shi's voice was as soft as the evening breeze. "Why didn't you call?"

"Wasn't your family holding a birthday banquet? Waiting some more is nothing."

Lu Shi's fingertips finally meet Chu Yu's fine, soft hair. "Tired?"

"So tired. First class cabins were gone so I bought economy class. I couldn't stretch my legs in that seat."

Lu Shi took out his room card, opened the door, and Chu Yu followed inside.

When the lights were turned on, Chu Yu could see Lu Shi's black backpack on the sofa.

The sofa was placed against the floor-to-ceiling windows; the night view was pretty good. The curtains were open so the neon lights of the whole city could be seen.

Chu Yu took a few steps, removed his shoes, knelt on the sofa, and looked outside.

He heard Lu Shi ask from behind him, "Why did you come here all of a sudden?"

Chu Yu turned around and his line of sight slid towards the back of Lu Shi's hand. "Didn't you say that you want me to lick the back of your hand?"

Lu Shi looked at him deeply, with emotions in his eyes that Chu Yu couldn't decipher.

Chu Yu had bitten Lu Shi's neck, shoulders, fingertips, and wrists. Now it was just licking the back of his hand, which was nothing in comparison.

He knelt on the sofa and reached out to pull Lu Shi's hand.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he grasped Lu Shi's wrist, he would be pulled into Lu Shi's arms instead.

Lu Shi wrapped his other arm around his back and hugged him.

Chu Yu didn't struggle. He thought for a while before raising his hands and embracing Lu Shi's waist.

Lu Shi looked at the nightscape outside the window while rubbing Chu Yu's delicate nape.

He used to be like an ascetic monk, isolating himself from everything that could sway his heart and mind.

It was because initially, he shouldn't have been in this world, but he was born, and he survived. The meaning of his existence became solely for avenging his mother.

But then, he met Chu Yu.
