Chapter 17 Shang Shang can’t escape
As Lu Tinghe finished speaking, the air stagnated for a moment.
Shi Shang almost thought she had misheard. Her hands shook and the folded coat slipped onto her legs.
Like a frightened little animal, his eyes suddenly widened and he hurriedly explained, "Of course not."
"Senior Lu is warm-hearted and gentle, how could I possibly hate you!"
How could he hate it? He obviously likes it very much.
I like him so much that I have to keep a distance from him so that I can restrain the desire to eat him every moment.
"Since you don't mind..." Lu Tinghe let out a few laughs, his voice unusually gentle, "Could you please not refuse my approach?"
Shi Shang looked over blankly and asked with a soft, thick nasal voice, "Why?"
The corners of his eyes were still a little red, and when he raised his eyes, they flickered faintly with a naiveté that seemed to show his ignorance of the world.
Lu Tinghe lowered his eyes and looked at Shi Shang, as if he was watching a naive little rabbit stepping into the trap carefully designed by the hunter.
After a moment, her amber eyes curved and she smiled happily: "Because I really want to be friends with you."
"Shi Shang, is it okay?"

Dormitory 508
Around 10 o'clock, Jiang Yao and Wen Cong returned from the lab. They sat in the dormitory for a while, but Shi Shang showed no sign of returning.
Jiang Yao couldn't sit still, so he turned to Wen Cong and asked, "I remember Shi Shang doesn't have evening classes today. Should I send him a message?"
Wen Cong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, if he hasn't come back by 10 o'clock, we'll go out and look for him."
Shi Shang is quiet and introverted, and doesn't like socializing. Apart from attending classes at night, she rarely stays outside.
They knew something about his family situation. His family was not well off, and Shi Shang usually relied on his part-time job to earn a living.
But no matter how busy my part-time job is, it is rare that I don’t return to the dormitory before the curfew.
Another ten minutes later, Jiang Yao stood up from his seat, his brows furrowed. "I called Shi Shang, but he didn't answer. I guess his phone is turned off."
"There's been road construction at the East Gate lately, and it's been quite messy. Nothing's happened, right? Should we go down and take a look?"
"Okay." Wen Cong nodded and stood up.
They put on their clothes and were about to open the door when the dormitory door opened from the outside.
Shi Shang pushed the door open and saw the two people dressed neatly. She asked confusedly, "Senior, it's so late, are you still going out?"
Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief. "You're finally back. We called you but couldn't get through. We thought something had happened and were just about to go out to check."
Shi Shang quickly took out her cell phone and looked at it, but there was no response after nodding several times.
He apologized guiltily: "I just met Senior Lu and chatted with him on the way. I didn't know my phone was out of battery. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Lu Tinghe sent him to the dormitory building before leaving.
Shi Shang thought he would stay in the dormitory tonight, but when she went downstairs, Lu Tinghe said he had something to do and had to go home.
Jiang Yao waved his hand and smiled: "Hey, I'm glad you're okay. We are roommates, there's no need to talk about this."
Wen Cong also nodded.
Shi Shang felt warm in her heart. Before she could say anything, she heard Jiang Yao say, "It's almost time to turn off the lights. We've both showered, so go wash up."
His two roommates are both very nice people.
If you think about it carefully, he has received as much kindness as malice in the human world.
The last trace of depression in my heart disappeared.
Shi Shang's eyebrows curved, and she raised a bright smile, "Okay."
After washing up, Shi Shang wiped her damp hair with a dry towel and sat down at her desk.
The phone was fully charged, so he unplugged the data cable and turned it on.
"Because I really want to be friends with you."
The magnetic voice echoed in Shi Shang's ears, and her ears felt hot.
What happened today was like a dream.
Lu Tinghe actually took the initiative to ask to be friends with him.
And he agreed without thinking.
It went incredibly smoothly.
Is there anything better than having food delivered to your door?
Shi Shang was happy and delighted, but also felt a little guilty.
Lu Tinghe wanted to be good friends with him, but he was thinking of treating him as food.
Shi Shang thought shamefully, then he would try to be nicer to Lu Tinghe.
At worst, he could just eat secretly in small bites from now on so that the other party wouldn't notice.
The phone turned on successfully. Shi Shang hesitated for a moment and opened WeChat.
Looking at the additional ocean avatar in the list, his hand hovered in front of the screen for a few seconds before clicking on it.
[ss: I’m at the dorm(^.^)]
The other party replied quickly with a voice message.
Shi Shang's throat rolled. She didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably guilty.
He opened the drawer, took out a pair of headphones, put them on, and turned on the voice again.
"Okay, go to bed early, Shang Shang."
It seemed as if they were still on the way. The young man's pleasant voice was mixed with the sound of the wind. The last two words were spoken very slowly, as if they were rolling on the tip of his tongue.
Like a little hook, it tickled Shi Shang's heart.
With a snap, the phone was turned over, and the screen and the desktop kissed each other in a loving gesture.
Lu Tinghe said that friends don’t need to be so distant with each other and can call each other by familiar names.
He stared at the smiling face opposite him for a long time, with his mouth open for a long time, but he still didn't feel comfortable enough to call the other person anything else.
But Lu Tinghe seemed to adapt well.
Shi Shang's cheeks suddenly turned red and hot, and that strange feeling of panic returned.
He pursed his lips and thought, straight men are so scary.
Does Lu Tinghe treat other friends like this in private?
Two faces slowly emerged in my mind.
"Yueyue"? "Yuyu"?
The hairs on her back stood up, and Shi Shang was frightened by her own fantasy. She quickly shook her head to clear the two people from her mind.
but……
Shi Shang touched her still hot face with the back of her hand and swallowed unconsciously.
Lin Zhuoran also called him "Shang Shang", and he was used to it.
Why is the reaction so big this time?
Is it because his food looks handsome and sounds particularly nice?
After thinking for a long time, Shi Shang nodded seriously. Lu Tinghe was indeed a walking succubus trap.

The painting major at University A has extracurricular practical courses every semester. This year's course is scheduled for mid-October and costs 500 yuan for three days and two nights.
After paying this fee, Shi Shang's already precarious balance became even less.
Seeing that she couldn’t even afford to buy drawing paper, Shi Shang started to browse part-time job groups again.
With the shadow of last time, he hesitated for a while between the two part-time job groups and chose the large off-campus group.
Although the income from part-time jobs outside school is low, at least it is stable and insured.
After browsing for a while, a recruitment notice for a coffee shop suddenly popped up in front of him.
[XX Coffee Shop is looking to hire a part-time waiter, hourly wage: 50-70 yuan/hour, good-looking and clean-cut candidates preferred.]
[Time: 3 hours in the afternoon on Mondays and Wednesdays, 6 hours a day on any weekend. No work experience is required. Interested parties are welcome to add the store at V: 735XXXX]
The hourly wage of 50 stands out among the many salaries that start with one digit.
It happened to be Monday and Wednesday afternoons, and he didn't have classes.
Shi Shang's eyes lit up, and he opened his eyes wide and looked carefully again. After confirming that he was not wrong, he quickly exited and searched for the address of the store.
It’s in a nearby shopping mall, not far from University A. It’s just two subway stops away, and the round trip takes 30 minutes.
High salary, suitable hours, convenient transportation, and no work experience required.
It was as if it was tailor-made for him. Shi Shang rolled slightly on the bed holding the phone, and patted the pillow with the tip of her tail.
Excited enough, he quickly added the coffee shop's contact information.
The person on the other end quickly accepted the friend request, chatted briefly with Shi Shang, and then informed him that he could go for the interview this Wednesday afternoon.
Shi Shang quickly sent a "received" message and attached three roses.
He put down his phone and pinched the tip of the heart tail.
If he could apply for this job, working 12 hours a week, the salary would be at least 600 yuan, four weeks a month, that would be 2,400 yuan, and he wouldn't have to worry about living expenses!
But with such a high salary, the competition must be fierce.
Shi Shang closed his eyes and prayed, "Devil, please bless him to get the job smoothly this time."
On the day of the interview, after class in the morning, Shi Shang browsed several male porn bloggers on Little Green Bird, trying her best to keep herself 70% full.
In the past, just in case, he would set his wallpaper to a photo of a blogger with abdominal muscles.
This way, even if there is an emergency, he can just open his phone and have a quick meal so he doesn't faint from hunger on the spot.
According to the address provided by the coffee shop, he arrived at the store on time.
The manager in charge of the interview was very easy to talk to. He asked a few simple questions about Shi Shang's personal situation and then nodded in satisfaction.
He smiled and said, "Well, I understand your situation. Welcome to join us."
"If you don't mind, after signing the contract, you can start this afternoon. From now on, I'll work every Monday and Wednesday from 2 PM to 5 PM, three hours. You can choose any weekend day, 8 hours from 9 AM to 5 PM. Your salary will be paid in a single lump sum. Is that okay?"
Unable to believe that it was going so smoothly, Shi Shang's eyes sparkled with surprise.
He quickly signed the contract and thanked the manager, "Thank you, manager. I will work hard."
"Young people are just so energetic," the manager smiled and pointed to the locker room, "Go change into your work clothes."
"Okay." Shi Shang hurriedly got up and went to the locker room to change clothes.
The work in the coffee shop is not that tiring and there are fewer customers on weekdays.
Receive guests, serve coffee, clean the table...
Overall, it was much easier than working part-time in the cafeteria. Shi Shang was full of energy and soon became proficient in it.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, his working hours ended and the manager paid him his salary on time.
Shi Shang touched the balance like a treasure, and her eyes brightened up.
He changed out of his work clothes, said goodbye politely to his manager and colleagues, and left the coffee shop carrying his canvas bag.
The wind chimes in front of the glass door jingled. Watching Shi Shang walking further and further away, the manager quickly moved to the office and dialed a number.
"Mr. Lu, he has successfully joined the company as per your request."
"Yes, yes, I guarantee he definitely didn't notice."
I don't know what was said on the other side, but the manager's face suddenly broke into a smile. "Thank you, Mr. Lu, this is what we should do...Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore."
The other side
Lu Tinghe hung up the phone.
The young man sat by the window, watching the sunset glow in the distance gradually fade away and the silver-blue night sky descend from the horizon.
After a while, he lowered his eyes, lowered his head to play with the piece of paper in his hand, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
Shang Shang, you can't escape.
