possessiveness
This time, Lu Yao responded quickly.
[Lu Yaoyaoyaoyao: Lu Yu, my dear silly brother]
Lu Yaoyaoyaoyao: Congratulations! You've successfully progressed from feeling a bit fond of him to being like, "Damn it, how can he be so nice to someone else?"
Lu Yaoyaoyaoyao: This isn't a problem. This is jealousy, or possessiveness. It's your natural reaction when you like someone.
Possessiveness...
Lu Yu looked at these three words and felt like he was hit hard by something.
He recalled that when he saw the photo, he had the urge to cut the boy out of the photo and the subconscious desire to pull him back to his side.
So...is this what possessiveness is?
【Lu Yu: Then...what should I do? 】
For the first time, he asked his sister in a tone that was almost asking for help.
[Lu Yaoyaoyaoyao: What should I do? Cold salad]
Lu Yaoyaoyaoyao: You're like a baby who just learned to walk and wants to run a marathon. You haven't even figured out why you like someone, and you're already thinking about what to do?
【Lu Yu: ...Then what should I figure out? 】
Lu Yaoyaoyaoyao: It's very simple. First, ask yourself, why do you like him? Is it because he's good-looking? Or because he has a unique personality? Or, is it because he has some qualities that you don't have, but that deeply attract you?
Lu Yu looked at the question on the screen and fell into deep thought.
Why do you like time?
He remembered the aloof and cold look he had when he first met him in the dormitory.
He recalled his unparalleled concentration when drawing in his professional classes.
He remembered the heartbreaking vulnerability he felt when he collapsed on a thunderstorm night.
He also remembered the smile that was like ice and snow melting when he was singing.
These images flashed through his mind like slides, each one so vivid and profound.
He found that he seemed to like everything about him.
I like his coolness and I also like his fragility.
I like his concentration, but I also like his clumsiness.
I like the way he shuts me out, and I like the little bit of unique dependence he shows on me even more.
【Lu Yu: ...I think I know everything】
Lu Yaoyaoyaoyao: Okay, you're quite enlightened. Then the second question: Do you understand him? Do you know why he developed his current personality? Do you know what he fears and desires?
He doesn't understand this problem.
He only knew that time was afraid of thunder. He only knew that he seemed to have an unhappy family.
But other than that, he had no idea what kind of deep ocean was hidden beneath his iceberg.
【Lu Yu: ...I don’t understand.】
【Lu Yaoyaoyaoyao: That’s it then.】
Lu Yaoyaoyaoyao: Lu Yu, listen carefully. Liking someone isn't a war of conquest, nor is it something you can just treat them with unilateral kindness and expect them to surrender. It's more like a puzzle game. You need to be incredibly patient and sincere to understand them, to know their deepest desires and fears. Then, when they need it most, be the one who can both offer them armor and remove it.
[Lu Yaoyaoyaoyao: What you need to do now is not to think about what I should do, but to think about how I can truly enter his world.]
Lu Yao's words were like a lamp, instantly illuminating Lu Yu's foggy forest.
He suddenly understood.
All his previous actions, whether delivering breakfast or offering water, were merely superficial acts of kindness. He was like a self-righteous tourist, standing outside the iceberg, desperately trying to melt it with his enthusiasm, but never considering going around the back of the iceberg to see why it was frozen.
Lu Yu: Sister, I think... I understand a little bit.
Lu Yaoyaoyaoyao: I understand. This child is teachable [relieved.jpg]
Lu Yaoyaoyaoyao: But having said that, your pursuit of someone is a long and arduous journey. Since you're so pitiful, I'll be your relationship consultant for free. First, send me a detailed report of his name, photo, birth date, zodiac sign, blood type, hobbies, and family background. I'll help you analyze your compatibility and the difficulty of pursuing him.
Lu Yu: “…”
He felt that his rare seriousness and touching expression just now were once again wasted.
He ignored the barrage of gossip from Lu Yao and simply locked his phone and threw it onto the table.
"Brother Lu, are you...are you okay?" Fatty Jiang looked at the volatile expression on Lu Yu's face and asked worriedly, "Why do you seem like a different person after chatting on the phone for a while?"
"I'm fine." Lu Yu raised his head and glanced at Shi Guang, who was sitting in his seat quietly reading a book. Then he turned to Jiang Xiaopang and Sun Rui and said, "What do you think, our strongest cheering group is still lacking someone to manage aesthetics?"
"Huh?" Fatty Jiang didn't catch his sudden change of thought. "What aesthetic?"
"It's all about the stage effects, lighting, and background PowerPoint," Lu Yu analyzed clearly. "That guy Zhao Teng only takes care of filming. If we let him design it, he'll probably be able to create the effect of a cheesy KTV box. Wang Qing just plays the piano, and everyone else is just messing around. We need to find someone who really knows the business to oversee it to ensure the quality of our show."
Sun Rui immediately understood Lu Yu's intention and pointed out, "Based on my observations, Shiguang's personal aesthetic level is at the highest percentile among the known samples. Whether it's his personal attire or the arrangement of his belongings, he demonstrates a high sense of order and design. He's the perfect candidate."
"Right!" This was exactly what Lu Yu wanted to hear. He slapped his thigh and said, "Sun Rui is right!"
"But...but will the boss agree?" Fatty Jiang said doubtfully, "He doesn't even like to participate in class team-building activities, and you want him to get involved in something like this?"
"Everything depends on human effort." Lu Yu took a deep breath. He knew this was the first step in his "puzzle game." He stood up, holding the newly printed registration form, and walked over to Shi Guang's desk.
Shi Guang felt someone approaching and raised his head from the book. His cold eyes looked at him quietly, waiting for him to speak.
This was the first time that Lu Yu faced his inner self so clearly at such a close distance. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
"Shi Guang, we need your help with the program for our welcome party."
Shi Guang's brows knitted slightly, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"I can't sing or play the piano." He refused bluntly.
"No, no, no, I'm not asking you to go on stage." Lu Yu quickly waved his hand. He handed over the registration form and pointed to the newly added line of words on it. "We are in need of an art director. Responsible for checking the stage effects of our entire show, such as the design of the background PPT and the coordination of lighting and music. I think... you are the most suitable candidate."
He paused, looked into Shi Guang's eyes, and said in a serious tone, "I've seen the drawings you made in your professional class. They're very creative. Zhao Teng and his group don't have good aesthetics, and I'm worried they'll mess up the stage. So, I'd like you to be our anchor."
Shi Guang looked at him, his gaze falling on Lu Yu's eyes that were full of sincerity and expectation, and then he looked at Jiang Xiaopang and Sun Rui who were beside him and looked like they were about to agree to him.
"I..." He was about to refuse.
"Boss! Just think of this as saving us!" Fat Jiang immediately rushed over and began his performance. "You have no idea how terrible Zhao Teng's aesthetic taste is! Last time I asked him to help me edit a picture, he directly made it all colorful black! If he were to manage the stage, I'm afraid Brother Lu would be carried out of Jiangcheng University overnight after singing!"
Sun Rui also added at the right time: "From the perspective of input-output ratio, having you be in charge of the visual part is the most optimized path for the team to achieve its ultimate goal."
Time: “…”
He looked at his three roommates, each with a different style but a surprisingly similar goal, especially Lu Yu. The tall, burly fellow was now looking at him with an almost pleading gaze, like a golden retriever awaiting its master's orders. His eyes were devoid of their usual arrogance, only cautious anticipation remained.
I don’t know why, but Shi Guang’s heart suddenly softened at that moment.
"...I am only responsible for the PPT." Finally, he gently uttered a few words.
"No problem! Deal!" Lu Yu's brows instantly lit up. He watched Shi Guang sign his name under the section labeled "Art Director." The two characters were written elegantly and powerfully, carrying a cold, indifferent quality like their owner.
Lu Yu felt like he had won a crucial battle and wanted to run around the dormitory three times right now.
Opportunities always come to those who are prepared.
Just when Lu Yu's strongest cheering group was formed and Shi Guang reluctantly joined this somewhat childish-sounding team, two days later, a bombshell news exploded in the class group.
Counselor Zhou Sisi: Great news to all! After emergency repairs and evaluations by the logistics department, the auditorium is now ready for reuse! The college has decided to reschedule the Welcome Party for next Friday at 7:00 PM! Please seize this last minute rehearsal time for all students who have submitted their programs! [Fireworks][Fireworks]]
The group instantly became lively.
Zhao Teng: Holy crap! Holy crap! Happiness came so suddenly! My camera can't wait!
Wang Qing: Ahhhhh! Next Friday! Time is so tight! Class monitor, when do we start rehearsal? @陆島]
[Jiang Xiaopang: Oh my god! My heart! Did I write my self-criticism in vain?! No, I mean, this is awesome! I get to see Brother Lu's stunning beauty again!]
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Brother Lu!" Fatty Jiang jumped off the bed excitedly, "Hurry up and organize a rehearsal! Time is running out!"
Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected the opportunity to come so soon. This was simply heaven's help!
He took a deep breath, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and quickly issued the first squad leader order in the group.
Lu Yu: @All Members - The Strongest Support Group will be meeting tonight at 7:00 PM in Rehearsal Room 302 at the East District Activity Center. No one is allowed to be absent! @Time, please reply if you receive this.
A few seconds later, a word popped up under the cold avatar.
【Shi Guang: Yes.】
Lu Yu looked at the word and could no longer suppress the smile on his face.
