Chapter 74 Entertainment World 20 Straight Ball
"You went home today?"
In the black car, Lu Yuming thought about how Lu Yutian had suddenly stopped him after school and yelled at him. While feeling baffled, he managed to grasp one or two important pieces of information from his nonsense.
"Did you run into my uncle and aunt?"
"Um."
Chu Sicheng held the steering wheel with one hand, turned his head and glanced at Lu Yuming.
"Did your mother call you?"
"That's not the case..."
Lu Yuming pursed his lips subconsciously when he heard this.
Ever since he moved in with Chu Sicheng, he and Lu Ma had rarely been in contact. The occasional phone call or two was a tireless persuasion and an unflinching resistance.
Later, Lu's mother talked too much and Lu Yuming was unwilling to answer the phone.
After spending a long time with Chu Sicheng, he was actually able to calm down and learn to think from Lu Ma's perspective about his sudden coming out to her. It was indeed quite unacceptable, but this could not convince him to agree with Lu Ma's words that he was sick, and it was even more impossible for him to agree with her extreme idea that he should find a girlfriend now to help him change his sexual orientation.
So during this period, he had been avoiding calls from Lu Ma and had also set her to Do Not Disturb mode on WeChat. He didn't reply to messages or answer calls, which led to Lu Ma not calling him anymore.
For example, today, Chu Sicheng met his uncle and aunt and something unpleasant happened, and he learned about it from his cheap cousin.
His fingertips unconsciously stroked the phone between his hands. Lu Yuming lowered his eyes slightly. The black screen reflected an expression that he couldn't tell whether it was relief or loss.
He was actually a little sad.
Because of my mother's lack of support.
An eighteen-year-old boy, possessing the fervor of youth and countless impulsive thoughts, but when all around him was quiet, those eyes, so passionate that they seemed ready to challenge the entire world, inevitably revealed a hint of confusion about the future, hesitation about his current choices...
Unfortunately, his confusion and hesitation did not last long, as an extra hand appeared on his head, interrupting his sad thoughts.
"What are you thinking about?!"
Chu Sicheng rubbed Lu Yuming's hair vigorously twice until two strands of hair on his head stood up and fluttered in the wind. He then withdrew his hand with satisfaction, took out a bottle of mineral water from the storage box next to him, threw it into his arms, and said lightly:
"If you feel dizzy, drink a few sips of ice water to sober up."
"I'm not dizzy! I just—"
"I know what you're thinking,"
Before Lu Yuming finished speaking, Chu Sicheng interrupted him, “That’s why I asked you to wake up.”
"……cut."
Lu Yuming was a little dissatisfied.
Although he also admitted that Chu Sicheng's guesses about people's hearts were sometimes very accurate, he didn't think that the other party would know what he was struggling with now. At most, he guessed whether he was homesick based on the tone of his voice when he mentioned Lu Ma just now.
But he wasn't homesick, so he didn't need to be awake—
"There's no need to think too much. Just study hard and wait until you take the college entrance exam. I promise you'll get everything you want."
Before Lu Yuming put the ice water back into the locker, a very light but extremely clear voice came into Lu Yuming's ears.
Just at this moment, Chu Sicheng pressed the buttons of both car windows.
The black glass slowly lowered, and the cool night breeze blew through the hall, ruffling the alopecia on Lu Yuming's head and disturbing the already restless spring water.
Lu Yuming stood there unconsciously, motionless on the surface, but his heart was beating rapidly.
"you……"
He swallowed and said in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, leave everything to me, and I will make your mother change her mind." Chu Sicheng spoke in a light voice, but a gentle tone, as if he was coaxing a child, comforting the panicked child standing at the crossroads who didn't know what to do, and guiding him to choose the path he liked according to his own ideas.
Don't worry about taking the wrong path, because he will always follow behind you and provide a backup.
Lu Yuming's eyes felt a little hot and his heart felt sore, as if something was full and about to overflow.
He wanted to say something, but his mouth opened and closed repeatedly, and in the end, he only uttered three words: "Jiang Nian'an..."
Chu Sicheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard him calling his name, but he did not respond to Lu Yuming. Instead, he continued to look straight ahead and concentrate on driving his own way. Then, after waiting for a few seconds, he heard the boy's cautious but passionate voice,
"You're on my side, right?"
"I'm not on your side,"
The man's gentle yet firm voice was carried to Lu Yuming's ears by the night wind.
"But, we are originally on the same side."
It was like this before, it is like this now, and it must be like this in the future.
Lu Yuming clenched his fingers holding the phone suddenly, as if he had been electrocuted. The fingertips pressing on the edge of the phone felt numb, and the scorching heat spread along his arm into his heart.
what to do?
Lu Yuming asked himself silently in his heart.
He seemed to like Chu Sicheng even more.
Even though the other party did not mean what he expected, at this moment, when Lu Yuming doubted that he was isolated and helpless, the man was like a beam of light, falling on him forcefully and irresistibly.
Warm and full of security.
At this moment, something passionate and uncontrollable appeared in Lu Yuming's eyes. He subconsciously lowered his head, his fingers constantly stroking the screen of his mobile phone.
But unlike before, the boy's eyes were no longer confused.
Lu Yuming covered up by wiping the corners of his eyes with his fingers, then took a deep breath and took the initiative to change the heavy topic.
"I heard that you beat up my uncle?"
"Yes, so you are going to help him get justice?"
Just as Lu Yuming guessed, Chu Sicheng would never let him indulge in sad emotions.
The man returned to his casual, everyday self the second he changed the subject, his tone lazy and with obvious teasing.
"That's not good. We are comrades who live and eat together!"
"Who is your comrade?"
Lu Yuming also laughed, "But I don't mean to seek justice for him, I just want to know how you beat him."
"Is it okay? Cheap brother, just tell me and I'll feel good too."
"hehe."
Chu Sicheng sneered, turned the steering wheel to the right and replied:
"You want to have some fun and yet you call me your cheap brother? Or are you being insincere..."
"Don't worry about these details. I heard from Lu Yutian that you were angry because his father wanted him to come and live with us. So, you don't want to have another person in the family, do you?"
"Nonsense, isn't it enough for me to take care of a sensitive high school student like you?"
"Who are you calling sensitive?"
“Whoever is anxious is sensitive.”
“…Jiang Nian’an!”
"Don't call me that." The man said, "Call me brother..."
Facing the cool night breeze, on the brightly lit avenue, noisy sounds continued to come out of a black car.
However, although the people inside were still arguing about something, the car's destination was still very clear.
That is - go home!
Until Lu Yuming started school, Chu Sicheng did not ask him to move back to the Jiang family which was closer to the school. Lu Yuming now wanted to be with Chu Sicheng all day long, and would not take the initiative to ask to leave.
So, in just a few months, many similar but different items were added to the small two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, such as an extra pair of toothbrushes and cups in the bathroom, an extra, smaller-sized piece of clothing on the hanger, and two hamster pillows with different expressions on the sofa.
If someone broke in at this moment, they would definitely not mistakenly think that there was only one lonely person living in this house.
As more and more traces of Lu Yuming's life appeared in the house, the way he and Chu Sicheng got along became more and more natural, and there would be some unexpected physical contact.
Moreover, Lu Yuming also discovered that since the man went to Jiang's house, he miraculously began to pay attention to his studies and would bring him a glass of milk to help him sleep in the evening.
Such a thoughtful behavior made Lu Yuming feel warm in his heart, and at the same time he couldn't help but start to suspect that the other party was so nice to him for other purposes.
"What's the purpose?"
During the self-study class, Qin Sheng, who had been sitting at the same table with Lu Yuming since the last seat change, propped up his face with one hand, his tone lazy, but his words were full of harshness.
"What do you have that's worth his attention?"
Lu Yuming: “…”
He was a little reluctant to discuss this issue with Qin Sheng, but seeing Qin Sheng increasingly controlling Zhao Datou, he endured it and continued to speak seriously:
"No, I just feel that he has been particularly good to me recently. Do you think he is..."
Lu Yuming didn't finish the rest of his words, but Qin Sheng understood what he meant.
So, Qin Sheng smiled slightly in Lu Yuming's expectant eyes, and then asked:
"Did he do anything intimate with you?"
"No."
"Have you ever said anything like I like you?"
"No……"
"So, when you tested him, did he respond to you? Don't tell me you didn't test him secretly. I won't believe it."
“…”
Lu Yuming felt a little sorry for Zhao Datou, who was favored by the scheming Qin Sheng. His colleagues were also speechless, but after a while, he still answered honestly:
"No."
Chu Sicheng never said that he liked him enough, and he turned a blind eye to his various attempts at probing, as if he didn't understand, or didn't want to understand.
However, no matter which one it is, it only means, "Not talking about the future, anyway, for now, he only wants to maintain a pure brotherly relationship with you."
"Actually, I know what he means..."
Lu Yuming said: "I'm just a little worried."
I'm worried that before he graduates, there will be new developments on the man's side.
The other party did say that he has never been in a relationship with anyone older than him, and also said that he doesn't care about age, but in this way, doesn't his choice of lover become wider?
Lu Yuming would start to feel anxious whenever he thought about this.
As a high school student of the same age and experience as Lu Yuming, Qin Sheng was unable to guess what Chu Sicheng was thinking at the moment, so after racking his brains, he could only let Lu Yuming take the initiative and ask Chu Sicheng if there was any new situation.
However, after returning home from school, before Lu Yuming could make a direct move on Chu Sicheng, he saw Chu Sicheng and a man who was of similar age to Chu Sicheng, with comparable looks and aura, and even quite wealthy, at the gate of the community.
The other person got out of a car that looked very valuable. When he reached out to grab Chu Sicheng, the watch on his wrist was equally luxurious.
However, these are not the point.
The point is, just when Lu Yuming frowned and was about to go forward to kiss Chu Sicheng to find out who the other person was, he saw Chu Sicheng suddenly raise his eyes to look at him, then shook his head at him imperceptibly.
This is... not letting him pass?
Lu Yuming was stunned.
It was at this moment that he heard the rich man trembling and saying urgently:
"Jiang Nian'an, what exactly do you want in exchange for agreeing to be with me?!"
