Chapter 773 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou was a little unsure, but he was indeed exhausted. Although he had slept last night, he hadn't rested well at all. He felt like he could sleep for a whole day and night.
Lin Leyou carefully checked everything in the room but found nothing. He then drew the curtains, plunging the room into darkness. He still held his schoolbag in his arms, lay down on the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and went to sleep.
After he fell asleep, the faint sunlight filtering through the curtains gradually disappeared, as if the sky outside had turned gloomy. However, if you went outside to take a look, it was still a sunny day.
Not only did the light disappear, but the temperature was also dropping little by little. Perhaps feeling a bit cold, Lin Leyou hugged his schoolbag tightly and tucked himself into the blanket.
However, in the sweltering summer, who would prepare a thick quilt? This thin layer, even if it covers his whole body, cannot keep him warm.
As the dense darkness enveloped the entire room, a golden light flashed again and again around Lin Leyou's neck. The room temperature gradually rose, and Lin Leyou was no longer so cold. However... this time, the golden light did not dispel the darkness.
The two sides seem to be locked in a stalemate, neither willing to give in.
Lin Leyou, however, knew nothing about these things. Just as he had expected, he slept until the next morning.
He stared blankly at the ceiling, then turned to look at the window with the curtains drawn. He saw the sunlight sneaking in through the cracks, and then slowly got up.
Lin Leyou didn't know what time it was or how long he had slept. He put his schoolbag on the bedside table, then got up and went out to take a look.
When he was about to leave, a sense of panic suddenly welled up in his heart. He subconsciously turned around and hugged the backpack he had just placed on the cabinet. Instantly, he felt a surge of security.
He himself was a little puzzled. Was there anything special about this backpack? He opened the backpack to take a look, and inside were his usual things, plus an old cell phone.
Oh right, he just realized his phone was dead. He should find a charger. But did he have one?
No, he doesn't have that. Oh well, if he doesn't want to charge it, he doesn't want to charge it. Contacting home isn't that important, is it? Even if he does get in touch, he'll probably just ask for money.
To be honest, he still can't quite understand why he ended up here. Why did he even think of getting off the bus? Why did he actually get off?
Is he really an ungrateful wretch? His family is struggling so much; shouldn't he work to help support them? So why did her body make the decision to leave for him?
Lin Leyou couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to think about such a complicated problem right now. He felt hungry. "Strange, didn't I just eat this much before I went to sleep?"
Even if I slept for a long time, I shouldn't be this hungry. Let me go out and check first.
He patted the schoolbag in his arms, then remembered that there were still dirty clothes inside. He decided to wash the clothes first, then put on his own clothes and return the ones he was wearing to Xue Rui.
Entering the ensuite bathroom in the side bedroom, he took out all the clothes from his backpack, even those that had been washed and dried before, and washed them again. He didn't know if it was because he was in a different place, but the clothes became clean and new after washing, whereas they couldn't be cleaned no matter how he washed them at the construction site.
After washing the clothes, he hung them directly here to dry. It's the middle of summer now, and they'll dry quickly even without sun exposure. He opened the bathroom window for ventilation so they'd dry faster.
After finishing her work, Lin Leyou was in a good mood. She picked up her schoolbag again, carefully opened the door, and looked outside. It was quiet outside, as if no one was there.
"What's going on? Is nobody here?"
He walked out the door and came to the living room, only to find it empty and deserted, as if he were the only one living there. Where did Xue Rui go?
Lin Leyou searched through several rooms, but found nothing; there was no sign of Xue Rui.
However, he did notice the food on the table, and... a cell phone?
He walked into the restaurant, looked at the things, then picked up his phone to check the time. Huh? Only after seeing the time did he realize that he had actually slept for a whole day and night.
No wonder I was so hungry, I slept for so long.
As he stared blankly at the food on the table, his phone rang. Startled, he dropped it, then realized it wasn't his phone.
He grabbed the phone that was about to fall from above and hit the ground.
Huh? Was my reaction that fast?
He glanced at the caller ID on his phone; it was Xue Rui. Why was it saved with his own name? This was Xue Rui's phone; why was it saved with his own name?
Let's try connecting it.
Lin Leyou answered the phone, and then Xue Rui's voice came through the phone, "Are you awake?"
"Ah...yes, I'm awake, thank you."
Xue Rui chuckled. Lin Leyou couldn't help but rub her ears upon hearing the laughter, feeling that the sound was a bit... unbearable. What was going on?
"No need to thank me. I know you'll be hungry when you wake up. Let's eat first. I have some things to do outside right now and will probably be back around noon. Can you wait for me at home?"
Lin Leyou was somewhat at a loss. What was going on? Who was on the phone? Apart from the voice, it had absolutely no connection to Xue Rui, whom he had met before!
He suddenly asked, "Who are you?"
The person on the other end of the phone fell silent and didn't speak for several minutes. He thought the other person had hung up, but the call still showed that it was in progress.
Lin Leyou said cautiously, "Um, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
At this moment, the person on the other end spoke up, "It's nothing, your question just caught me off guard. I didn't know how to answer you for a moment."
Lin Leyou: "Why would that be? Just give me your name, isn't that enough?"
Xue Rui suddenly chuckled, and Lin Leyou suddenly realized that the person talking to her on the phone was definitely not around her age, but a very mature and steady man approaching thirty.
Is this Xue Rui? Is he the Xue Rui I've met so many times before, the one who sometimes has a bad temper but also cares about me?
Before he could think too much, he heard his own cooing. Oh no, he was too hungry. He needed to eat something first.
Xue Rui then spoke up, "Let's talk about it when I get back."
Lin Leyou: "Okay, then I'll hang up."
He hung up the phone, sat down and started eating. Xue Rui had clearly said he would be back before noon, but he didn't expect him to come back before he had even had dinner.
"You're eating? Okay, I'll eat with you!"
Lin Leyou blinked. "Didn't you ask me to eat this? And you seem so different now compared to when you were on the phone."
Xue Rui had no idea what Lin Leyou was thinking. He was eating frantically with his bowl and chopsticks, as if he had been starving all day just like Lin Leyou. However, the food on the table was not enough for one person; it could feed three or four people.
But in the end, the two of them finished it all.
Lin Leyou looked at the empty plates on the table. This was the first time he had ever doubted his appetite. When did he become such a big eater? Even when he was dizzy from hunger at the construction site, he hadn't been able to eat this much.
Xue Rui sat down next to him without him noticing. "What are you thinking about so intently?"
His gaze then fell on the backpack in Lin Leyou's arms. "How long are you planning to carry this? Can't you just leave it in your room?"
Lin Leyou shook his head. His backpack was actually empty. He had washed and dried the dirty clothes inside in the bathroom of his room. There was only money, his ID card, and his cell phone inside.
He said very firmly, "No, I like to hold it in my arms."
Xue Rui was completely baffled, his face filled with disbelief, but in the end he didn't force him. "Alright then, whatever you want. But if you have time, wash this bag. It'll be cleaner if you hold it in your arms."
Lin Leyou nodded, "Okay, I understand."
That's to be expected, and he didn't have any aversion to it, although he still felt uneasy about it.
Xue Rui said excitedly, "By the way, the matter of getting your student registration done before will be completed in a few days. Don't worry, you can go to school with me then!"
He spoke with such certainty that Lin Leyou was shocked, because from the moment they met until now, he hadn't even mentioned his own name. How could Xue Rui have helped him get his student registration sorted out?
They even said he could go directly to university with him? Is that true? He'll actually be able to go to university?
Seeing his surprise, Xue Rui said with overflowing confidence, "How about that? Aren't I amazing?"
Lin Leyou: "This... is indeed quite impressive, but how did you know who I am?"
Xue Rui paused for a moment, then stroked his chin and pondered for a while. "Is it that difficult? I just need to tell you that I want you to go to school with me, and the people below will take care of it themselves. As for how I know, I can only say that the people below are efficient and I don't need to worry about it."
At this point, he moved closer to Lin Leyou, "Little You."
Lin Leyou stared at him with wide eyes. It wasn't wrong for Xue Rui to call him that. It seemed that Xue Rui really knew his identity. So... a lot of personal information wasn't considered private by some big shots.
Whether the secret he doesn't want to reveal will be exposed depends entirely on the other party's decision; it's not up to him, but on whether the other party wants to know.
Xue Rui was still chattering on and on, "It'll be done soon, and the admission notice will be issued in a while. Then you can go to school with me and study the same major, how about that?"
"By the way, don't worry about tuition and living expenses, everything is prepared here. You just need to stay with me. Studying isn't important either, as long as you get a college degree in the end."
"Come work for the company as my assistant after you graduate. You can set your own annual salary. How about that? Aren't I good enough to you? Are you happy?"
