Bite Your Fingertips

On the second day after returning from the spring outing, before everyone could recover, Lao Ye gave them an extra homework—writing an essay on the theme of spring outing.

Brother Meng scratched his head, spread out the composition paper, picked up a pen and wrote the first sentence, "It's a bit hot for the spring outing. After all, it's summer, so I brought three bottles of mineral water."

Yang Yuchan happened to pass by, glanced at the beginning of Brother Meng's composition, and was shocked, "As far as you can use words and sentences at the level of a primary school student, how did your Chinese pass?"

Brother Meng thought about it seriously, "Probably, it all depends on the truth, kindness and beauty of the marking teacher, and his mercy?"

Yang Yuchan had nothing to say, bypassed Brother Meng and went to the last row of the classroom.

The composition paper in front of Chu Yu was unwritten, and he was chanting with blank eyes, "Let's go climbing, there is a Taoist temple on the mountain, there is a well and ginkgo tree next to the Taoist temple, and there is a stream in the back mountain, ah, I am so happy today!"

After he finished reading, he asked Lu Shi, "If I write this and hand it in, will Lao Ye doubt life?"

"No, he will let you rewrite."

Lu Shi put a page of draft paper in front of Chu Yu, "Detailed outline, follow along."

Yang Yuchan, who stood beside her for a while, quickly cleared her throat and said, "Uh...Hello?"

It was only then that Chu Yu noticed Yang Yuchan, "Are you looking for me? What's the matter?"

"The project I discussed with you last time, I just got news that someone invested money before me, and then lost money. Visually, it will collapse even more."

Yang Yuchan was extremely grateful, "Fortunately, you stopped me at that time, otherwise I would be the one who lost money now."

Chu Yu didn't take credit for it, "I said it, but you must be willing to listen, right?"

He remembered, "By the way, didn't you say that you haven't found any good projects to practice your hands recently, but I found one here. I will send it to your email later, so you can take a look."

Yang Yuchan didn't ask any more questions, and replied succinctly, "Okay, I'll give you an answer after reading it."

After Yang Yuchan left, Chu Yu moved closer to talk to Lu Shi, snarling, "It's over, if this goes on, I think I might become a genius investor who is involved in the business world! Sigh, I'm obviously talented!"

There was a slight smile in Lu Shi's eyes, and he raised his hand to pinch Chu Yu's white and greasy earlobe, "Genius investor, you have to write the composition first."

Chu Yu grimaced for a second, looking at the composition paper and worried, "My day, genius investors are about to be killed by the composition!"

The closer the third year of high school, the faster the tension spread.

For example, Fang Ziqi's dark circles became two points heavier, which made Chu Yu really want to ask him how long he stayed up every night.And I was very worried about what to do if the school committee couldn't hold on one day and fainted in the classroom.

For another example, the number of times Meng Ge jumped out to play basketball dropped sharply. When he was dating his girlfriend, four out of five times he was giving lectures to make up lessons.

Brother Meng also sighed, "It's too scary to make up lessons with my girlfriend. If you don't know how to teach me three times, my girlfriend will cry. Those tears are too lethal!"

Chu Yu continued, "I'm different. I'm making up lessons with Lu Shi. If I fail to understand a question type three times, Lu Shi will coax me."

Brother Meng was deeply puzzled, "Why coax you?"

Chu Yu: "I'm afraid I'll cry!"

Brother Meng murmured in his heart, he finally wanted to show his affection, why did he seem to be shown instead?

The only spring outing was like letting the wind go. When faced with stacks of test papers, people always wondered whether that memory was real or not.

Next night for self-study, Chu Yu was picking from a pile of test papers, and couldn't help muttering, "Where did they find so many test papers, teacher?" He asked Lu Shi again, "An idea, where should I bring this week?" Take the papers of the class back?"

"Mathematics and Physics."

"Okay, listen to you, for two days on weekends, I will favor mathematics and physics!"

After quickly packing the test papers, Chu Yu casually stuffed a booklet of ancient poems into his schoolbag, "Let's go, it's finally the weekend again, and I'm going to sleep until nine o'clock tomorrow! No, ten o'clock!"

He took two steps, then retreated back to the shoulder-to-shoulder position with Lu Shi, with anticipation in his eyes, "Accompany me?"

"Well, stay in bed with you."

Chu Yu beamed, and said "piu", "I'll send you a good boyfriend card!"

The two walked downstairs together with similar steps.Chu Yu remembered what Lao Ye said today, "There is a make-up class during the summer vacation, so I can't take a few days off at all!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Brother Meng suddenly jumped out from behind, "We have been deprived of the right to spend the summer vacation! Angry! Angry!"

The strap of the schoolbag was broken, Brother Meng carried it with one hand, and then remembered again, "By the way, school belle, are you going to go abroad or go to a school in China?"

Chu Yu discussed this issue with Lu Shi, "It should be to go to a domestic university. When you want to go abroad, apply again. Anyway, you will definitely be able to go out."

Brother Meng nodded, "My mother is going to let me study abroad, and Li Hua will probably go there too, but the countries we go to are different, half a world away."

Maybe it's not that time yet, and when it comes to going abroad or studying abroad, I don't have much real feeling.

Chu Yu paused, "What about your girlfriend?"

Brother Meng rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly, "Of course it's with me, we applied to the same school. My mother also said, let me be more competitive, don't let my girlfriend pass the exam, but I didn't pass the exam."

He was curious again, "By the way, Xiaohua, which university are you planning to take? Do you have a goal?"

Chu Yu answered this question without hesitation, "Of course it was the university where Lu Shi was admitted."

Brother Meng didn't think there was anything wrong, "Sure enough, you are so scary when you are serious! School girl, your grades have risen too fast, maybe you can really go to the same school as Lu Shen."

He slapped Chu Yu on the shoulder, "I have great confidence in you!"

Lifting his chin, Chu Yu didn't feel that there was a possibility that he would fail the exam, "That must be!"

He remembered again, "When you go abroad in the future, I will send you the hot pot base across the Pacific Ocean!"

Brother Meng was moved, "Brother enough!"

When I walked to the school gate, I saw all kinds of private cars parked on the side of the road at a glance.Out of the corner of the eye, I caught a glimpse of a car that looked vaguely familiar, and Chu Yu was about to take a second look, when he suddenly remembered, "Hey, no, I didn't seem to have the manga in the dormitory that I didn't finish before!"

He stood still, wondering if he should go back to get it, but Lu Shi had already turned around and walked into the school.

Chu Yu followed, "Going to the dormitory?"

"Ah."

Lu Shi put his arm on Chu Yu's shoulder casually and naturally, and hugged him to his side, "Otherwise, if someone talks in their sleep at night, they will talk about the ending and haven't watched it yet."

Chu Yu was surprised, "Really? Did you hear me talking about this in my sleep?"

"Well, I heard."

"Really?" Chu Yu became curious, "Besides talking about anime, what else did I talk about in my sleep?"

"My name will still be called."

"What?" Chu Yu didn't react.

Lu Shi lowered his eyes and repeated to Chu Yu in a low voice, "You will still call my name loudly in your dreams."

After taking the comic book, the two of them came out of the dormitory building. This back and forth wasted time, and almost everyone in the school had left.

Chu Yu handed the comic book to Lu Shi and asked him to stuff it into his schoolbag.When the zipper was re-zipped, he looked at Lu Shi's long and narrow eyes and his delicate profile under the streetlight, and his heart felt itchy.

Going to the dark place, there was no one in front or behind, Chu Yu boldly stretched out his hand, pinched the corner of Lu Shi's school uniform, and tugged.

Sensing the slight force, Lu Shi lowered his eyes, and slightly hooked the ending, "Huh?"

Taking advantage of this moment, Chu Yu raised his head and quickly kissed Lu Shi's lips.

It was a light kiss, but in the early summer night, it was extra alluring.

Chu Yu smiled slyly, "God Lu, you are so sweet!"

With his hands in his pockets, Lu Shi's eyes were filled with darkness. He was about to speak, but a female voice came over, "Chu Yu."

His heart skipped a beat, Chu Yu thought it was his own auditory hallucinations at first, but when he followed the sound, he saw Shi Yaling standing in the distance with his assistant in a well-tailored white trench coat.

The smile on Chu Yu's face faded.

Shi Yaling's hair was neatly coiled, she was carrying a handbag, she looked directly at Chu Yu, "Come here."

Chu Yu didn't move, but looked at Lu Shi first, with a steady voice, "There are chairs over there, you sit and wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Lu Shi also saw Shi Yaling, he looked away, didn't say much, just said, "Well, good."

Pulling on the strap of his schoolbag, Chu Yu walked over to where Shi Yaling was.

The first image that came to mind was that Shi Yaling came to school because of the cheating incident.In the school's small meeting room, Shi Yaling turned and walked out, her high-heeled shoes stepped on the marble floor, making a crisp "click" sound.

Chu Yu stopped in front of Shi Yaling.

The assistant, Catherine, has retreated tactfully.

Standing on the edge of the lawn, Chu Yu looked at Shi Yaling's eyebrows and eyes through the dim light of the floor lamp, and finally bent his lips, "Mom, long time no see."

He paused for a moment, then said, "You seem to have lost weight."

He calculated in his mind how long it had been since he had seen Shi Yaling.But after some calculations, I found that it was not clear at all.

I just know, long time no see.

Shi Yaling maintained her usual calm and composure, she did not get angry or scold, but stated, "I have a meeting nearby, Catherine reminded, today is Friday."

Only her cold voice revealed her suppressed anger.

Chu Yu answered naturally, "So you decided to come pick me up?"

Habitually raising her chin by fifteen degrees, Shi Yaling stood up straight, "Yes. I didn't expect to see such a picture."

Shi Yaling didn't ask who it was, what kind of relationship you have, or what you are doing.In her heart, she already had a definite answer.

Chu Yu never thought of fooling that he was a classmate or a friend, and he was just joking.

On the contrary, Chu Yu was very calm.In other words, he has already imagined this scene countless times.

He calmly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare you mentally, but I suddenly let you see such a picture."

Say it very politely.

Even such a tone exists between mother and child, which seems weird.

Chu Yu thought, perhaps such an attitude is the most appropriate, right?

After all, his mother needs an assistant's reminder to remember that her son's school is nearby, and today, Friday and weekend, she can go home in two days.

Shi Yaling noticed Chu Yu's attitude, and she frowned, "Aren't you going to explain?"

"Nothing to explain."

Chu Yu became more calm, "As you just saw, I'm in a relationship, and I have someone I like, a man of the same gender as me. I love him very much, and I'm not going to break up with him."

After Chu Yu finished speaking, he felt very relaxed.He looked straight into Shi Yaling's eyes without any guilt or avoidance.

Even he himself was a little surprised that he would be so courageous.

Probably part of this courage came from himself, and the other part came from Lu Shi.

When Shi Yaling's face is expressionless, her eyebrows and eyes are fierce. She has been in a high position all year round, and her aura is extremely strong. When she is silent, no one dares to face her sharpness.

At this moment, she was choosing what attitude to use to talk to Chu Yu.

After hearing Chu Yu's firmness and toughness, she spoke softly, "Chu Yu, you never told mom that you have someone you like."

When Chu Yu unconsciously learned to land, he put one hand in his pocket.His tone was neither soft nor hard, and he replied, "Mom, we have only met twice in the past six months."

Shi Yaling hastily set up a warm scene, like a bubble, which can burst with a poke.

For a moment, both of them were speechless.

Only the wind of summer night, passing through quietly.

Shi Yaling noticed that Chu Yu's changes were very obvious.

Such Chu Yu even made her feel strange.

Anger rose from the bottom of her heart, Shi Yaling closed her lips slightly, and calmly reprimanded, "You are only 17 years old now, the so-called love and liking are beyond count! When the so-called love between you suffers all kinds of shocks, At that time, you will find that the so-called love is nothing more than that. Chu Yu, I thought you were sensible, but unexpectedly, you are still impulsive and blind!"

In her words, there was a strong sense of disappointment.

If it was the past, Chu Yu would be stabbed by sharp arrows turned into these disappointments, and he didn't even know how to avoid them.

Even because I cared too much, I tried to correct it regardless of right or wrong, and tried to become what my mother expected.

For wanting to be recognized.

But now, Chu Yu shook his head, "I disagree with what you said."

It was as if even the wind had stopped for a moment.

Shi Yaling had never felt such straightforward opposition and disobedience from Chu Yu.

She tightened her lips, "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, I am your mother, and I have the qualifications to discipline you!"

"First of all, Mom, I'm going to correct you that I'm an adult. Of course, you're too busy to notice that my birthday is past, but I'm an adult. Second,"

Chu Yu stopped talking, the tips of his hair were blown by the wind, revealing the lines of his facial features.

The young man grew up rapidly, and in the dim light, it could already be seen that the facial lines had more obvious edges and corners.

"Secondly, don't you think it's too late?"

Before Shi Yaling could speak, Chu Yu said first, "I can understand you. You are used to pouring your heart and soul into people or things worth investing in, and because you are too busy and your energy is limited, so you set the boundaries of all things as It's clearly drawn."

Having said that, Chu Yu took a deep breath before continuing, "You once arbitrarily classified me as a 'defective product' and gave up on me. However, my surname is Chu, and I am the child conceived by you and your father. , so you provide me with a good life."

Chu Yu made an analogy, "Of course, it's like treating a bird in a cage. You built me ​​a cage made of gold, a bowl made of gemstones, and fed me delicious food. Your request to me is that I must stay in the cage Here, no accidents, no troubles, no worrying about you, no taking up any of your time and attention. Am I right?"

Shi Yaling didn't make a sound.

Chu Yu chuckled.

He looks exquisite and good-looking, and every inch of his facial features seems to have been carefully polished by the creator.

Usually, Chu Yu is expressive and loves to laugh. When he smiles, his eyes seem to be filled with two amber lights.

But this time, the smile didn't touch the bottom of the eyes at all, and there was even a bit of sharpness in the light-colored eyes.

"So I said, it's too late for you to discipline me now."

Shi Yaling was finally irritated, she restrained her voice, "Chu Yu, I am your mother and your legal guardian! Let me say it for the last time, separate from him!"

"and then?"

Chu Yu was not angry, but asked calmly, "Then follow the steps, spend money to go to a university that does not lose the reputation of the Chu family, find a well-matched man to marry, give birth to a child named Chu, and be a 'defective' for the rest of your life. Backed by the big mountain of the Chu family, under your restraint and discipline, are you living a miserable life?"

He stood where he was, with his back straight, and his figure was thin and thin like a young man's.

Chu Yu spoke every word clearly.

"Mom, it was you who didn't want me first, and you who gave up on me first, so I gave up on you too."

At this moment, Shi Yaling wanted to say something, but felt that any words were so futile.

The bottom of her heart was empty again for an instant, as if she had lost something a long time ago, or just in this instant.

After saying all the words that had been rummaging in his heart for a long time, Chu Yu thought to himself, he should be considered a grown-up, right?

He has his own goals, what he wants to do, and the people he wants to protect.

He will no longer blindly try his best to get the approval of a certain person.

I will not hate myself because I was given up by someone.

He is him, Chu Yu.

"Mom, I'm done."

Chu Yu's whole body was sparse, and his tone was completely relaxed.

He had a black schoolbag on one shoulder, his hands in his pockets, and his figure was tall and straight.

"I've become the person I expected. You didn't care about me before, and you don't have to pay attention to me in the future."

Chu Yu repeated what he wanted to tell Shi Yaling on the phone a long time ago but couldn't finish it in time.

"Pay attention to your body, you are too busy at work, you should also take a proper rest. Good night, mom."

Turning around, Chu Yu walked towards Lu Shi with his schoolbag on his back.

Lu Shi stood by the lamppost and waited for him, his figure outlined in a warm halo by the light of the street lamp.

Chu Yu stood next to Lu Shi, and said with a smile, "Let's go, Brother Lu, and go home."
