Chapter 54 Your Engagement Has Nothing to Do with Me
"Have you contacted her brother?" Lu Shiyu stood on his balcony, looking at the sparse lights in the distance.
"Well, don't worry..." Chen Ni said on the other end of the phone, "Her brother Chi Yan is definitely capable of handling things on the Internet. If that doesn't work, there's still their uncle, Master Fu San."
"Then those who spread rumors..."
"My lawyer Shen's letters have been sent out in batches."
Lu Shiyu pondered for a few seconds and said, "It's not convenient for me to come forward on this matter. I'm sorry for the trouble."
"Puff... Lu Shiyu, who are you to Fu Mingshuang? How can you say such things?"
Lu Shiyu's face darkened as he hung up Chen Ni after he finished talking a long string of "Hahaha, shameless, hahaha".
He entered the room and saw Fu Mingshuang lying on her bed, sleeping soundly.
The woman who offered to come to his house fell asleep before the car arrived.
Lu Shiyu covered Fu Mingshuang with the quilt and tucked the messy hair on her face behind her ears with his fingertips.
His eyes fell on her lips again.
Obviously, Dr. Xiao said that he was already cured, but why did he still want to receive her treatment?
"Fu Mingshuang?" He called her name in a low voice.
She was motionless, as quiet as a doll.
Lu Shiyu leaned over and gently pressed his lips against hers.
He promised her that he would not take advantage of others.
But now she is extremely well-behaved, just like she was in Hong Kong Island, the one nestling in his arms, tilting her face up, and kissing him tenderly.
When their lips parted, all he saw was her trembling eyelashes.
Under the dim bedside lamp, thick eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.
Lu Shiyu felt his heart beating heavily.
The long-lost heartbeat.
Since she wants to pretend to be dead, let's pretend to be dead together.
You pretend not to know, and I pretend not to know that you know.
He stood up and left, closing the door with a loud click.
Fu Mingshuang opened his eyes and touched his lips in astonishment, his mind clouded by the alcohol.
Is this still part of his treatment?
Why is the night so long? Because there are two insomniacs inside and outside the door.

"Ayu, why are you sleeping on the sofa?"
Hearing Ling Xiuzhu's voice, Lu Shiyu woke up from his sleep and saw his mother walking in from the entrance and standing in front of him.
Lu Shiyu suddenly stood up.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so flustered?" Ling Xiuzhu frowned and looked at him. Seeing the scratches on his face, she hurriedly took a step forward:
"What happened to your face?"
Before this person got the answer, the other person noticed a red mark on Lu Shiyu's collar. His brain suddenly buzzed, and he became furious. He pointed at Lu Shiyu and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"What are you doing?! What is it?!"
Lu Shiyu was silent, tugged at his collar, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Don't tell me it's Nian Jiusi again. I know she's on a hunger strike at home. She wouldn't just appear here out of nowhere!"
Ling Xiuzhu glanced at Lu Shiyu's closed door and immediately walked towards it.
Lu Shiyu reacted faster than Ling Xiuzhu and blocked the door.
“Get out of the way!”
Lu Shiyu stood still and said nothing.
Ling Xiuzhu pointed at his nose: "You're so rebellious, aren't you? When did you become so rebellious?"
"I'm saying this one last time, get out of the way."
Ling Xiuzhu pushed him: "Get out of my way."
"No." Lu Shiyu finally spoke.
But these two words shocked Ling Xiuzhu so much that she pushed her son fiercely.
"Get out of here! I'm going to see today which vixen dares to seduce our Lu family's son!"
Ling Xiuzhu was determined to break up with him. The noble girl acted like a shrew on the street. Lu Shiyu couldn't stop her and finally she pushed the door open for him.
But there was no one inside.
Fu Mingshuang is not here.
The beds were neatly folded, with no sign of anyone having been there.
Ling Xiuzhu pushed the dazed Lu Shiyu away and searched inside and out, but there was indeed no one there.
"Mother, what are you looking for?" Lu Shiyu said indifferently.
"Then what were you stopping just now?"
"This is my room."
"So what about your room? Are you blaming me for violating your privacy?" Ling Xiuzhu raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully, "Don't be so hypocritical. You belong to the Lu family."
Ling Xiuzhu straightened her hair, cleared her throat, and said, "No matter what, you must keep yourself clean. I came here today just to remind you..."
"Next month is Xiaojiu's coming-of-age ceremony. Your uncle Nian said that we should hold the formal engagement party at the same time."
Lu Shiyu's heart sank: "Does Nian Jiusi have any objections?"
Ling Xiuzhu sneered: "Isn't she just making a scene now? So, don't try to use Xiaojiu as a shield again. This matter is not something she can get away with by just throwing a tantrum."
"This is a proper engagement. We'll exchange rings between our two families... Hey? Where's your ring?"
"I keep it somewhere."
"Wear it, don't lose it."
Lu Shiyu remained selectively silent again.
Ling Xiuzhu looked at the time, said a few more clichéd things, and left in a hurry.
The ears are pure.
Lu Shiyu sat on the bed, stroking his palm across the wrinkle-free bed.
The silk quilt feels cold and has no temperature.
No one has been here?
If he hadn't smelled the scent of Fu Mingshuang still lingering on the bed, he would have almost fooled himself.
He opened the wardrobe and saw Fu Mingshuang hiding inside with her knees bent, looking pitiful.
This hiding place remains the same as it was in my senior year of high school.
"My feet are numb, hold me." Fu Mingshuang reached out to him.
Lu Shiyu bent down and caught a glimpse of the bracelet on her ankle... Yes, Lu Shiyu still insisted that it was a bracelet.
He took her out of the closet and laid her on the bed.
But Fu Mingshuang was still unwilling to let go, so Lu Shiyu let her lean on his arms and wait for her "deal".
"Lu Shiyu..." She called him in a soft voice.
"Um?"
"I'm on my period, please buy me a pack of sanitary napkins."
Lu Shiyu: “…”
Lu Shiyu went out, looking unhappy.
He first went to the convenience store and looked around. As expected of a top student, he was able to accurately select "Freedom and Agility - Daily Use Pure Cotton 240" after some research, and also bought a pack of disposable underwear.
Then he went to Kyoto University and found Li Zhi.
Ten minutes later, Li Zhi came down with a bag of clothes. "What do you want Fu Mingshuang's clothes for? Where is Fu Mingshuang?"
"At my house. It got dirty last night."
Wow!
Li Zhi received a 10,000-point critical hit! It took her a long time to realize what Lu Shiyu was saying.
"What? What did you say?"
"I'm asking, are there any clothes with higher necklines and longer skirts?" Lu Shiyu asked while holding the clothes.
Li Zhi thought for a moment with difficulty and said, "No, there's nothing I can do about it. She's Fu Mingshuang."
Indeed, Lu Shiyu knew that he shouldn't force others to do things.
Back at the apartment, he stuffed a bunch of supplies into Fu Mingshuang's hands.
When Fu Mingshuang came out after cleaning up, Lu Shiyu was already sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
There is only one copy, and I didn’t prepare one for myself.
Fu Mingshuang didn't care and walked towards the entrance: "Next time, buy mesh. I don't like pure cotton."
Lu Shiyu did not respond to this question, but called her.
"what?"
"You just heard it. I'm getting engaged to Nian Jiusi next month."
"I heard you. Congratulations."
"Fu Mingshuang..."
"Hmm? Anything else you want to say?"
Lu Shiyu put down the milk, leaned back in his chair, and looked at her with his head tilted: "Are you coming?"
"No, your engagement is none of my business."
"Then give me back the ring."
Fu Mingshuang paused, opened the door, and said as he walked away: "No, I'm not tired of playing yet."
