5. Drift Theory
Putting down his pen, Yu Chu let out a long sigh of relief.
Ever since Yu Zhuyue came to warn her inexplicably at noon, she feels speechless now. Is it because she was ranked first this time that she felt empowered?
She and Yu Zhuyue had known each other for a long time. Of course, they knew each other, but they were not familiar with each other.
She first met her at Dong's house. During the New Year that year, their family went to Dong's house to pay New Year's greetings. Yu Zhuyue and Dong Chaoming came to open the door together. Yu Chu was briefly confused and quickly returned to normal. The Yu family Arriving earlier than them, the three members of the Yu family sat across from them. The three members of the Yu family were sitting in the living room. Even though she pricked up her ears, she didn't understand the connection between the Yu family and the Dong family.
Yu Zhuyue's parents looked a little humble towards the two Dong family members, praising Dong Chaoming repeatedly and blessing them endlessly.
Yu Chu took advantage of the moment when he lowered his head to drink water and glanced at the couple opposite him. Dong Chaoming had no unnecessary expression on his face, as if he was not the one being praised, and there was no joy at all. Yu Zhuyue looked even more fragile sitting next to Dong Chaoming, with his hands glued together and his eyelashes trembling.
Putting herself in his shoes, Yu Chu guessed that she should be ashamed of the client who did not live up to his name.
We met several times after that, always at Dong's house, but Yu Chu was not sociable. It wasn't until they became classmates that they said hello to each other when they met.
Yu Zhuyue seemed to have an inexplicable hostility towards Yu Chu, and she especially liked to drag Dong Chaoming to act in idol dramas in front of her. The two of them were very popular in the class, and many people started to make noises. Yu Chu sneered and thought it was boring. Yes, I never participate and focus on my own papers.
She believed that she had no ambiguity with Dong Chaoming, and it was too late for her to annoy him, so she could be regarded as an imaginary enemy by Yu Zhuyue.
Really speechless.
Yu Chu suddenly closed the book on the table, stood up, took a change of clothes and went to take a shower.
The hot water was poured on the slightly cool skin, flowing along the top of the head to the soles of the feet to form a small pool of water. Yu Chu raised his hand and turned on the shower to the maximum. The nozzle instantly released a spray of water, and the person underneath was stunned in half a second. Drenched completely, she covered her face with her hands, and an idea came to her in the darkness.
The cafeteria of Yacheng
High School is air-conditioned. No matter the freshman or senior year, they like to hide in the cafeteria to spend their lunch breaks in the summer. After all, the sweltering heat in Wanzhou is really painful.
The first floor of the cafeteria has a glass curtain wall. Dong Chaoming had already changed into his sportswear for the afternoon physical education class. He was holding a spoon upright against the bottom of the plate, tilting his head and scanning the empty positions on the basketball court with his eyes. Suddenly, he was hit by the elbow of the person next to him. He turned around and saw Yu Chu standing at their table holding a dinner plate.
Seeing him looking back, Yu Chu said in a kind tone,
"Can I sit here?"
Yu Chu opened and closed his lips and said something, but Dong Chaoming's attention was in the wrong place.
Yu Chu's lips were red today, which was particularly eye-catching.
Like the bright sunshine outside the window just now.
Dong Chaoming quickly shook his head, throwing all the messy thoughts out of his mind, and asked calmly,
"Is something wrong?"
Chu Yi, who was pretending to be transparent next to him, broke out in cold sweat on his back. He secretly glanced at Yu Chu's face, but who knew that the person standing there Not only was the girl not angry, she was smiling so hard that her eyes were crooked, and she patiently repeated her words again,
"Can I sit here?"
Damn it.
Dong Chaoming only had this idea.
He refused very simply,
"cannot."
Yu Chu's smile did not change. He had anticipated Dong Chaoming's reaction, so he did not panic at all and pretended to be aggrieved.
"I don't want to eat alone. It's too lonely."
Chu Yi choked on a sip of Coke, hiccupped and coughed, and almost choked to death. It won't be the end of the world tomorrow, right? Yu Chu, who is used to living alone, suddenly talks about loneliness, still facing Dong Chaoming.
The spoon in Dong Chaoming's hand slipped, and his hand fell to the side. Dong Chaoming was caught off guard by this reason. He opened his mouth mechanically and found that he had no way to refute. If he refused again, it would appear that he was unkind and would only be exposed in front of everyone. Then he lost Yu Chu’s face and compromised,
"That's up to you."
Yu Chu put down his dinner plate generously and ate calmly amid the complicated eyes around him.
Chu Yi felt uncomfortable all over, ignored Dong Chaoming's warning eyes, decisively abandoned his brother and found an excuse to escape. Dong Chaoming was left alone to face Yu Chu across from him. If the enemy could not move, I would not move. He didn't know what Yu Chu's plan was.
It can't be just a coincidence.
It just so happened that she suddenly didn't want to be alone today. It just so happened that she saw him. It just so happened that she was sitting here.
Yu Chu didn't wear headphones today. He didn't hear the sound of clinking tableware from the other side for a long time. He raised his head, as if he knew what Dong Chaoming was thinking about, and said deliberately,
"Don't think too much, it's just a coincidence."
Okay, he believed it.
Dong Chaoming angrily buried his head in eating.
A piece of fried fish fell on his plate. It was golden and seemed to be shiny with oil. Dong Chaoming was confused, but he saw Yu Chu smiling at the corner of his mouth.
"I don't eat fish."
Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person. The two families had eaten together so many times, so Dong Chaoming certainly knew her habits.
"Then what do you want to fry the fish for?"
do what.
Of course it's for you.
Yu Chu ignored him and instead looked in a certain direction in the cafeteria. As expected, he saw Yu Zhuyue, who was staring at this place with burning eyes.
The smile grew wider.
...
As soon as Dong Chaoming opened the back door and threw his schoolbag in, he was pushed into the back seat by a force. Huo Dadi wanted to turn his head, but Hearing Yu Chu’s voice,
"Hello, aunt."
Dong Chaoming's whole body froze.
Su Zhihan in the driver's seat was a little surprised, but still responded to her gently,
"Yu Chu? What's wrong?"
Yu Chu leaned forward slightly, with a well-behaved expression on his face.
"Auntie, it seems that the driver at home is not here today. Can I go back with you?"
Su Zhihan smiled and waved her to get in the car quickly.
"Of course, Chao Ming, you sit inside and let Xiao Chu come up."
Dong Chaoming picked up his black schoolbag and silently moved to the left seat. Yu Chu thanked him, put his hands on his skirt and got into the car. He closed the car door with a bang to block out the investigation from the outside world.
The Dong family's car drove forward slowly.
Yu Zhuyue stood outside the school gate, watching the car gradually go away.
Yu Chu habitually opened the word cards when he got in the car. Dong Chaoming glanced at him and swallowed back the words he wanted to find fault with.
He knew that Yu Chu was working hard, but he didn't want her to use the time in the car.
The phone in Yu Chu's pocket vibrated. Dong Chaoming watched from the corner of his eye as she took out the phone and turned on the screen. He peeked at the text in the dialog box.
"You don't have to pick me up today. I'll explain it to my mother."
"OK."
Before Yu Chu made any move, Dong Chaoming immediately turned around in a panic and pretended to look out the window, his pupils vibrating where Yu Chu could not see.
What does it mean?
