Chapter 70 The World of Entertainment 14 Lu Yuming and I will be together in the future...
…
The moment Lu Yuming lifted the thick door curtain and saw the sunlight again, he felt a little dazed.
The whole person seemed to be walking on the clouds, and every step his feet took was soft. If it were not for the tingling sensation from the tip of his tongue rubbing against his teeth, Lu Yuming would really think that he was dreaming.
He also prayed that he was really dreaming.
It wasn't just because of the third level, the highly purposeful question he had discussed with his boss the night before, but also because of the ambiguous sentence Chu Sicheng said right after answering the third question.
"Actually, if you want to know anything, you can ask me in person. I won't lie to you."
Perhaps it was because Chu Sicheng's tone was too straightforward, or perhaps his three answers were beyond Lu Yuming's expectations. In the next few levels, he couldn't help but think about Chu Sicheng's words.
What does that last sentence mean?
Lu Yuming knew that Chu Sicheng must have guessed that he was the one who really wanted to ask these questions.
After all, the owner of a secret room store has nothing better to do than to care whether a customer prefers older or younger people.
So...what kind of relationship did the other party consider to make him say that?
Can I ask anything I want to know in person...even very private questions?
Lu Yuming bit his lip and subconsciously looked at Chu Sicheng who was concentrating on driving next to him.
Under the cover of sunglasses, Lu Yuming could only see the lower half of his face. The corners of his mouth were straight, and it looked like he had no expression, but Lu Yuming inexplicably developed an indescribable uneasiness.
Because her unspeakable thoughts seemed to have been noticed by the man, and even more because after noticing it, the man was ambiguous and did not have a final attitude to deal with it.
So, does he know?
Or perhaps, Lu Yuming felt his heartbeat speeding up, and silently asked himself, do you really want him to know?!
Lu Yuming lowered his eyelashes, and the time he spent with Chu Sicheng unconsciously emerged in his mind.
Angry, speechless, moved, and with my heart beating faster...
No matter how he hinted to himself in his heart, he frantically distanced himself from the other party in front of his friends.
However, when he racked his brains to take Chu Sicheng to relax, when he refused his friends' invitations and chose to sit in the living room all day just to joke with Chu Sicheng when he went out to get water during work, when the man reached out to catch him when his legs were numb, and he was only staring at the other's Adam's apple and chest, he could no longer deceive himself that the deafening heartbeat was just the result of excessive exercise.
He likes Chu Sicheng.
No matter how he denied it verbally, he inevitably fell in love with Chu Sicheng.
It’s not that he looks down on old men, he just... just looks down on the fact that the person Chu Sicheng likes is an old man.
He thought the other party liked younger people, like... him.
That's why when he was discussing issues with his boss last night, he unconsciously leaned towards the other party's feelings.
That's why, ten minutes after leaving the secret room and an hour after ending the third level of hell, I'm still struggling with the sentence that Chu Sicheng said right after answering the question.
Ask directly?
After all, the other party has said that if you have any questions, just ask him directly in person. He will not lie to you.
But what if the answer he gets is not what he wants?
Lu Yuming kneaded the seat belt around his waist, his drooping eyelashes full of confusion.
Just as he was hesitating whether to speak, something cold suddenly touched his cheek.
"Hmm!" His body suddenly straightened, and before Lu Yuming could react to what happened, a bottle of iced mineral water appeared in his arms.
"Drink some ice water to cool down."
The man's tone was as casual as usual. Compared with Lu Yuming's nervousness and entanglement, Chu Sicheng was calm as if nothing had happened. He even had the mood to tease Lu Yuming.
"If you keep going like this, I'm afraid you'll burn yourself, and then I won't be able to explain to Aunt Lu."
???
At first, Lu Yuming didn’t understand the meaning of Chu Sicheng’s words, until he glanced at the rearview mirror while holding the cold bottle, and found that his face was terribly red.
What was even more terrifying was that the red spread all the way from his neck upwards, coupled with the thin layer of sweat that had appeared on his skin at some point in time, someone who didn't know would probably misunderstand that he was fantasizing about some restricted scene.
Frightened by his own appearance, Lu Yuming hurriedly put the water bottle to his cheek, trying to cool down his head which had become hot without him knowing when.
At this moment, Chu Sicheng teased without any tact,
"So what were you thinking just now? You were so red and warm."
In fact, the man's tone was very normal, and his intonation was no different from when he usually talked to Lu Yuming. However, Lu Yuming, who had already been confused by Chu Sicheng's words "Ask whatever you want to ask, I won't lie to you", subconsciously felt that the other party was guiding him to say what he wanted to say most.
His hot head automatically gave him another dose of reckless stimulant, so that before Lu Yuming could react, he had already uttered a sentence,
"What if I said I was thinking of you?"
…
In an instant, the temperature in the car seemed to drop by twenty degrees to below zero.
The man seemed startled by his words. He retracted his arms that were originally leisurely placed by the car window, and gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. His face, which was mostly covered by sunglasses, also became solemn, which was mainly reflected in the fact that the corners of his lips, which were raised at the beginning, were now pursed into a cold straight line.
Shouldn't he ask...
But words spoken are like spilled water, which cannot be taken back, so Lu Yuming could only hold the seat belt tightly on his chest and wait quietly for the man's judgment on him amid the rumbling heartbeat.
At this moment, Lu Yuming felt like he was walking on a tightrope. Every move of Chu Sicheng was like a hammer hitting his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He unconsciously shrank away from Chu Sicheng and took a few deep breaths to try to calm his heart.
He thought Chu Sicheng's silence was because he was struggling to come up with a sentence that was not so hurtful but could be rejected at the same time.
But in fact, Chu Sicheng's momentary silence and tension were due to the main system that suddenly popped up in his mind, and the sentence that followed from the other party:
[Warning! The person you are considering developing a relationship with must be a university graduate or above. Before that, please do not develop a deeper relationship with the person. Otherwise, you will be punished accordingly based on the depth of your relationship.]
Chu Sicheng:?
"What do you mean? Are the rules this strict now? Even if the partner is an adult, it's not allowed?"
[Those who receive the twelve years of compulsory education are the delicate buds of our motherland. Please do not attempt to pluck or pollute these flowers.]
Chu Sicheng: ...
It's really funny.
Chu Sicheng was very dissatisfied with the rule that popped up by the main system, but he couldn't really resist. After all, he was no longer alone. Even if he didn't consider himself, he had to consider Lu Yuming next to him.
Now he has not found the real reason why the other party appears in each world. If he confronts the main system head-on, the management bureau will get angry and transfer him to other positions. Then he will never see Lu Yuming again, which will not be worth it.
So, after a brief argument with the main system, Chu Sicheng returned to reality and first pulled the car to the side of the road. Then, looking at the huddled figure in the passenger seat, he spoke seriously:
"If you're blushing because you're thinking about me, I have no objection, but I think we should discuss specifically what you're thinking about me after you're done with the college entrance exam."
"ah?"
Lu Yuming was dazed as he was imitating Chu Sicheng's various cold responses in his mind.
"What's the meaning?"
"Just what you're thinking. Let's wait until the college entrance examination."
Otherwise, we may not be able to meet in the next world.
Due to system limitations, Lu Yuming did not hear this sentence, so he was still struggling with whether to agree or reject Chu Sicheng after the college entrance examination until school started.
"I think he agrees. After all, he said he doesn't mind you having sex with him."
In the classroom, at the desk in front of Lu Yuming, Qin Sheng leaned back on the chair and analyzed,
"Isn't this a very obvious confession? I'm just worried it'll affect your studies, so I'm thinking of waiting until after the college entrance exam to finally break the news."
"I thought so at first," Lu Yuming frowned. "But when we got home, he acted as if nothing had happened. He treated me no differently than before, and we even communicated less."
Qin Sheng was curious: "Why?"
"Because he thought it was too troublesome to walk from the bedroom to the living room to get water and then return to the bedroom to continue working, he set up a small water dispenser next to his desk. Except for eating, he rarely came out..."
Lu Yuming was speechless when he thought of this, and at the same time he felt a little uneasy.
"Do you think he's avoiding me?"
After all, there are only a few steps from the bedroom to the living room.
Qin Sheng didn't dare to make any guarantees about this. After all, he was not Chu Sicheng himself, and he couldn't know exactly what the other party was thinking at the moment.
However, based on Lu Yuming's usual description of Chu Sicheng, he felt that Lu Yuming's guess was most likely just unnecessary worry.
Moreover, as a military strategist with a God's perspective, Qin Sheng believed that Lu Yuming should not worry about such trivial matters at this time. After all, according to his understanding of Lu Yuming, once a boy falls in love with someone, there is a high probability that he will fight with the other person for the rest of his life.
Therefore, the issue that he is struggling with now should not be whether Chu Sicheng likes him too, but whether his mother and stepfather can accept the fact that he likes Chu Sicheng.
Because the reality is there. Even if he and Chu Sicheng have no blood relationship, because of the union between his mother and the other's father, he still needs to call the other "brother".
"Have you ever thought about how your mother would react when she finds out about this? She can't even accept the fact that you like homosexuals, so how could she accept that you like your nominal brother?"
During the break, in the noisy classroom, Qin Sheng's softly whispered words reached Lu Yuming's ears clearly.
Lu Yuming even felt that his voice was so loud that it made his ears hurt and his head dizzy.
yes.
Lu Yuming thought that his mother couldn't even accept the fact that he was gay and hadn't let him go home until now.
What would the scene be like if she knew that she fell in love with her nominal brother?
The spacious classroom was bustling with people, and laughter could be heard outside the door, but Lu Yuming seemed to be isolated from the outside world, unable to see or hear anything...
However, while he was struggling, Chu Sicheng on the other side had already sat in front of Jiang Dad and Lu Ma, and the first thing he said was,
"Lu Yuming and I will be together in the future. Since this news may be shocking, I'm going to tell you in advance to give you some time to adapt."
