Chapter 75: The World of Entertainment 21: The New Year is coming soon...
Lu Yuming paused.
Looking at the two people entangled not far away, his eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he blinked twice as if to react. Then the blinking became faster and faster, and the corners of his eyes slowly turned red...
It seemed that he no longer needed to ask the man indirectly about his current relationship status. After all, he had already chased her home and looked so outstanding, so outstanding that Chu Sicheng stopped him from getting close.
Obviously, before this, Chu Sicheng would openly introduce him to the people around him, even as a younger brother.
So... Chu Sicheng fell in love with this person?
Because I like him, I have eliminated all possibilities of causing misunderstandings...
It was as if a small corner of Lu Yuming's heart was opened, and the biting cold wind rushed in like it was free, making Lu Yuming shiver all over.
He no longer insisted on walking towards the two people talking by the car, but instead reached out to put on the hood of his sweatshirt, avoided the noisy car at the entrance of the community, and walked inside.
The wind was blowing harder and harder, and the weather was getting gloomier, just like Lu Yuming's mood at the moment. Soon, a drizzling, wet rain began to fall.
The sound behind him gradually faded away, but the irritating buzzing sound still rang in Lu Yuming's ears. He lowered his head, walked across the wet cobblestone path, entered the unit door, got on the elevator, and finally, after the elevator door opened, he walked step by step to the door of his home that he was already very familiar with.
As long as he gently placed his finger on it, the door would open, and he would enter the safe house that belonged to him and Chu Sicheng just like before.
But at this moment, Lu Yuming seemed to have returned to the day when he "forgot to bring the key". His fingers gripping the door handle tightened and loosened. In the end, like a wet puppy abandoned by its owner and drenched by heavy rain, Lu Yuming squatted by the door again.
He held the schoolbag tightly in his arms.
Even he himself didn't know what he was waiting for, but he was still waiting...
Lu Yuming couldn't help but bury his head in his schoolbag. The phone in his pocket vibrated twice, which immediately made him raise his head and take out his phone.
However, the person who sent him the message was not who he thought.
Qin Sheng: [How is it? Have you asked?]
【……No. 】
Qin Sheng: [Why don't you ask? Aren't you curious anymore?]
[I'm not curious anymore.]
Lu Yuming typed these four words expressionlessly.
The old man on the other side noticed his bad mood almost instantly, and the name on the chat box immediately changed to "The other party is typing...", and then within two seconds, Qin Sheng's message came again.
【Have you seen your brother's girlfriend?】
I have to say, Qin Sheng is really sharp.
However, Lu Yuming did not want to admit that the man at the gate of the community was Chu Sicheng's lover. After all, the other party asked him what he should do to make Chu Sicheng be with him, which meant that Chu Sicheng had not agreed to him yet, so the two of them were not together.
But even so, Lu Yuming still couldn't help feeling frustrated.
Because of the other person's dress, and also because of Chu Sicheng's eyes that refused him to get close.
Lu Yuming didn't want to talk. He just wanted to be alone. However, Qin Sheng kept sending messages to him, making it impossible for him to calm down. Finally, Lu Yuming had no choice but to type to Qin Sheng:
[They probably aren't a couple yet. From what he said, my brother probably hasn't agreed to him yet.]
Qin Sheng replied immediately: [Since you didn't agree, why are you still so depressed? ]
because……
Because I’m afraid…
Lu Yuming sent a smiling emoticon to Qin Sheng, then muted his phone and threw it into his pocket. He leaned his head back against the wall. The cold temperature passed through the wall into his brain, but it still couldn't calm him down.
He couldn't help but wonder, what was Chu Sicheng doing now? Was he still chatting with that man? Did he finally agree to the other party?
Lu Yuming pulled his hat even lower. His legs were so numb that he sat down on the ground.
The window next to the corridor was half open, and raindrops kept coming in through the gaps. Lu Yuming reached out to catch them out of boredom, but he caught nothing, only his fingertips became a little wet.
He could only take out a tissue from his schoolbag and carefully wipe his fingers one by one. When he looked up again, it was completely dark. People who got off work returned home one after another, lighting up warm lamps in the dark buildings, making the dark corridor even colder.
But Lu Yuming still didn't want to go in. He curled himself up and took out his mobile phone involuntarily with his right hand. He looked at the avatar that he had secretly pinned to the top of the screen. His fingertips dropped and raised again, but in the end he still failed to open the quiet dialog box.
what to do?
Lu Yuming buried his face in his hands, his forehead pressed against the phone screen. His tightly closed eyes had a faint red tinge spreading from the corners of his eyes, carrying a slight warmth...
So scared.
It was already time for most people to have dinner. Outside the window that was not closed tightly, the sounds of cooking and talking could be heard continuously. Combined with the faint aroma of food and the strong smell of fireworks, it made Lu Yuming, who was squatting at the door, seem even more lonely.
Until a buzzing sound was heard and the phone in his palm also vibrated.
Lu Yuming stood up straight, and the suddenly lit screen made his slightly drooping eyes seem to have a light.
Moreover, the bright light became even brighter after seeing the person who made the call.
He immediately pressed the answer button and put the phone tightly against his ear.
"Hello?"
"Have you ordered takeout?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was still gentle, but I don’t know if it was because of the sound of rain, or because people always become fragile and aggrieved in front of those close to them, but the moment Lu Yuming heard Chu Sicheng’s voice, his eyes immediately became moist.
"No." He heard only the faint sound of rain after hearing the slow footsteps from Chu Sicheng's side.
"What's wrong? Are you...coming back for dinner?"
"Of course, where else can I go to eat if I don't go back?"
"……oh."
Lu Yuming sat cross-legged on the ground with his head leaning back against the wall. Perhaps it was because someone was finally talking to him, but his mood brightened a little bit by the man's gentle voice.
"What do you want to eat? I'll order it now." He heard the man ask him.
"Either is fine." Lu Yuming replied.
"Really?" Chu Sicheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard that.
Under the black umbrella, he raised his head slightly and looked towards the dark window. He listened to the trembling breathing on the other end of the phone. His fingers gripping the umbrella handle tightened and then relaxed. After chatting with Lu Yuming about the types of takeout, he suddenly asked a few seconds before the elevator door opened:
"Did you forget to bring your keys today?"
"ah?"
Lu Yuming was stunned for a moment, and answered subconsciously: "No!"
"Really?" Chu Sicheng asked again.
"Really!" Lu Yuming affirmed.
He thought that he must not act stupidly in front of Chu Sicheng again.
However, with a "ding" sound, the sound of gears rolling slowly came.
As the elevator door slowly opened, the dark corridor was illuminated by an orange light.
Lu Yuming subconsciously raised his head.
In the orange light, he saw a tall and thin figure walking out of the elevator.
□□'s schoolbag fell to the ground as the boy stood up suddenly. The voice-activated light above his head lit up, and the entire corridor was illuminated by the white light, including the figure that had walked in front of him.
He still held up the phone, with a faint smile between his eyebrows, and half-closed his eyes looking at the boy leaning against the wall. Then, the voice from the phone rang in front of Lu Yuming.
"Then could this kid who didn't forget to bring his keys help me open the door? I forgot to bring them."
I don’t know if it’s because the boys in this world are younger than me, or if it’s because boys are just not able to hide their thoughts, but Chu Sicheng only needs to take one look at Lu Yuming to guess what he is thinking at the moment.
Even though Lu Yuming was just staring at him blankly, with the phone still to his ear, his mouth opening and closing, looking at a loss as to whether to continue talking to the phone or to the person in front of him, Chu Sicheng could still see his worry and panic from his slightly red eyes.
"I don't mean to introduce you."
He spoke softly, and the first sentence he said was the question that most upset boys.
"It's just because that person is not a good person. I'm afraid he will do something to hurt you, so I won't let you go."
Lu Yuming blinked twice and looked even more stunned.
Chu Sicheng reached out and rubbed his hair, then continued to soothe him: "Do you still remember the message I received the day you first arrived?"
Lu Yuming was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Chu Sicheng: "He means the same thing as that person."
“How could it be…”
Lu Yuming was surprised, "You mean, he also wants to..."
Chu Sicheng nodded.
"How could he do this!"
Lu Yuming immediately perked up and stood up for Chu Sicheng, saying, "He looks well-dressed, but why would he do such a filthy thing? I used to think our classmates were exaggerating, but now it seems there are quite a few bad guys in your circle! How could he do this to you? How dare he..."
The wet puppy instantly switched to fighting puppy mode. He no longer felt cold or lonely. Only the anger in his heart drove him to go downstairs immediately to find the man to seek justice.
The corridor suddenly became lively.
Chu Sicheng looked at Lu Yuming, who was filled with righteous indignation, and was in no hurry to urge him in. He just watched him muttering and accusing Qin Yuan of being shameless, and the smile in his eyes deepened little by little.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" After five minutes of excitement, Lu Yuming finally calmed down and looked at the man in front of him who was looking at him without saying a word. For some reason, the moment he saw his reflection in Chu Sicheng's eyes, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of shame.
Fortunately, before his heart started beating wildly again, Chu Sicheng took the lead in looking away, then slowly opened his mouth and answered the question he had just asked.
"Nothing, just thinking that the New Year is coming soon."
After the Chinese New Year, the college entrance examination will be closer.
...Let’s finish the college entrance examination quickly.
