Chapter 43: Deliberate Deception

When Lu Shiyu returned to the dormitory, he saw Cheng Cheng occupying his computer to play games, and even put his cell phone on his desk.

"Very quickly, another game." Cheng Cheng's eyes were glued to the screen.

"It's okay, just continue." Lu Shiyu glanced at his phone and said, "Lend me your phone."

"what?"

"I want to see your circle of friends."

"What? Why are you looking at my Moments?"

"I don't."

Cheng Cheng was entering a stalemate, so he didn't ask further: "Whatever."

Lu Shiyu picked up Cheng Cheng's phone and asked, "Password."

"Hey, for a good man like me, my phone password must be my wife's birthday, 0521."

Lu Shiyu was stunned for two seconds before entering the password to unlock his phone.

He flipped open someone's profile picture and clicked on her circle of friends.

There are no faces shown in the Moments, only casually taken scenery photos with text.

For example: a close-up shot of a bottle of wine in a nightclub with the caption [get my third boyfriend]

Haha~ I thought I was collecting stamps, really...

Lu Shiyu threw Cheng Cheng's phone on the table, turned around and went out again.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Go downstairs and buy some food."

Cheng Cheng took a moment to glance at his phone, which showed a circle of friends post by Fu Mingshuang, with the location being the convenience store downstairs from his dormitory.

Lu Shiyu came to the store and saw Fu Mingshuang sitting on a bench outside drinking soda and playing with her cell phone.

She wore a simple white shirt and a denim skirt, with her hair tied into a bun and her makeup lightened up. It was very different from her previous style of occasionally going for a nightclub look.

It's like he's come ashore and become a good person.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the ring she wore on her chest.

Lu Shiyu passed her and walked straight into the store.

He wandered around inside but had no desire to buy anything.

Looking out the window through the layers of shelves, the long bench at the entrance of the convenience store was empty.

Lu Shiyu casually picked up a box of rainbow candy from the shelf, and then smelled a familiar scent of perfume.

Turning around, I saw Fu Mingshuang squeezed in between the shelves, smiling brightly at me in the narrow space.

"Long time no see, Lu Shiyu."

"Yeah." He responded softly.

"Did you miss me?"

"No."

"But I miss you." Fu Mingshuang smiled and took a step forward. Lu Shiyu instinctively took a step back and bumped into the shelf behind him.

But Fu Mingshuang's aura could not be shaken off.

"Where's your boyfriend?"

"He's in class." She answered easily, which was beyond Lu Shiyu's expectations.

He thought Fu Mingshuang would answer the question irrelevantly, or talk about something else, or even ask him teasingly if he was jealous.

But she didn't, and answered naturally and as if it were a matter of course.

Lu Shiyu took the candy in his hand, put his hand on her shoulder and pushed her away.

"Won't your boyfriend have any objections if he sees you like this?"

"He's better behaved than you. If he dares to object, I'll dump him."

"And then? Look for it again?"

"Yeah, do you want to queue?"

"No thanks." Lu Shiyu wanted to leave.

Fu Mingshuang held him back.

"When will you pay me the money you owe me?"

"What debt do you owe?" Lu Shiyu asked knowingly.

"Kiss once, do it once, you owe me 21 times."

"What? Your boyfriends can't satisfy you?"

"They say you're a VIP. If you don't eat, they won't even be able to eat the minced meat."

Lu Shiyu smiled, but it was a very contemptuous and disdainful one.

"You may have misunderstood. I'm afraid the 'do' I said and the 'do' you said don't mean the same thing."

Fu Mingshuang tilted her head and asked with great interest: "Oh? What do you mean?"

"Cooking, doing dishes, exercising, doing homework... Anyway, it's not something I do."

Fu Mingshuang did not get angry, as if she had expected this:

"When you proposed this deal in the bar, you had no intention of accepting it, right?"

"Yes." Lu Shiyu raised his chin.

Fu Mingshuang laughed: "Lu Shiyu, look at what you've become now? Are you still the good boy you used to be?"

"Premeditated seduction, addicted to lying." Fu Mingshuang threw eight words at him.

Lu Shiyu pursed his lips, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.

Fu Mingshuang looked at the colorful rainbow candy in his hand and said:

“Some things look good, but when you tear the packaging, you’ll find…”

Fu Mingshuang sneered: "It's just like that inside."

"Bang" Lu Shiyu failed to control his strength and pushed her heavily against the shelf.

"Hiss...it hurts..." She frowned, then smiled, "I like it."

Lu Shiyu's face darkened: "Is it fun?"

"Isn't it fun?" Fu Mingshuang asked him back.

Lu Shiyu couldn't hide his annoyance, but he kept his lips tightly closed.

"Okay, then I'll find someone else to play with." Fu Mingshuang said indifferently, pushed him away and walked out.

Lu Shiyu leaned weakly on the shelf when he received a WeChat message on his phone from Dr. Xiao.

Once your condition improves, you can stop taking the medicine.

Improve? Stop medication?

Lu Shiyu turned off his phone, put the rainbow candy back on the shelf, and left empty-handed.

When passing the cashier, I saw Fu Mingshuang talking on the phone while paying the bill: "Honey, I've already bought it. Can I come to your house tonight?"

Lu Shiyu glanced at the two boxes of condoms on the cashier counter.
