The man finally couldn't help it. He said coldly: "How long do you plan on sticking to me like this?"
'Such a cold voice?'
Zhan Yu had a bad hunch. He was hesitant at first, but when he finally raised his head to look up at the man's face, there was a loud 'thump' sound and a sharp pain pierced his forehead. Then she heard a clear voice exclaim: "Hey!"
Zhan Yu was in such pain at their collision. He reached out and rubbed his aching forehead, feeling a little dizzy. The next second, he noticed Lu Bai's handsome face looking down at him with a dark expression. He pushed him aside in fright and backed away several steps.
However, he forgot that behind him was the top of a staircase, the very place where he made his phone call earlier while leaning against the railings. Now that he had backed away several steps, his right foot suddenly found no floor to step on and he inevitably lost his balance. Zhan Yu instinctively reached out and grabbed the last saving straw, which regretfully, was the sleeve of Lu Bai's black suit.
As he tightly held on to the sleeve for dear life, Lu Bai's expression was as cold as ice.
Just as Zhan Yu thought that he was going to fall on his back, the embarrassing event he imagined didn't happen, because Lu Bai unexpectedly went forward several steps to hold his waist, saving him before he falls further.
The frightened Zhan Yu was now in his arms. He grasped his right arm tightly while the other hand pulled at his clothes. He breathed heavily in his embrace, and his legs seemed to have lost its strength.
Once again, he experienced a near death experience, and the feeling of helplessness and terror of falling down the stairs was horrifying.
Earlier, Lu Bai was attending a dinner party, but he ended up coming here. Although he had rolled up his sleeves, the more than 30 degrees weather here made him feel hot and irritable. But at this moment, the slight fruity fragrance from the man in his arms, along with the cold touch of his fingertips gave him a rare and pleasant sensation.
Lu Bai frowned. He loosened his arms around his slender waist and legs, straightened up, and said in a cold voice, "Isn't that enough?"
"Huh?" Zhan Yu looked up at him. Lu Vai stepped back this time, as if trying to avoid something poisonous. His jaw still ached from their collision earlier.
But when he glanced down at him after losing patience, he suddenly noticed his pair of moist eyes. His lashes were long and his eyes teary, and underneath the light, those pair of eyes seemed amazingly bright.
It was rare for Lu Bai to feel surprised.
Zhan Yu blinked while feeling mad that he teared up! If it wasn't for him, he never would've gotten so frightened that he almost fell down the stairs!
But what he didn't know was that his unconscious act of blinking made the onlooker feel as if he looked pitiful.
Lu Bai frowned slightly at the idea.
Zhan Yu immediately came to his senses. Knowing that the man hated him, he quickly pulled back his hand that rested on his (Lu Bai) arm, and without saying a word, left straight towards the auditorium.
He wanted to explain, but reason tells him not to try to explain things to him, lest Lu Bai misunderstand.
Lu Bai, who had been standing in place for a time, finally moved and made his way to the auditorium while thinking to himself: 'After I said so many things to him, all he replied was a simple "um"? Well then, is it really his new goal to avoid me as if I'm a snake?'
While thinking of this, Lu Bai's gaze deepened as he stared at his (Zhan Yu) slim figure in the distance.
Zhan Yu wore a light brown long jacket coat with a matching dark brown Pants and White T-shirt tonight. Since he took good care of himself, his figure was handsome .
As the boy sat down, Lu Bai noticed his unintentionally glance up at him before immediately turning his head away in disgust.
Lu Bai's appearance in the auditorium had already caused quite a sensation in the crowds. When Ji Yi invited other people to sit at the judge's seats, unfortunately, there was only one remaining seat in the middle.
Lu Bai looked at the seat, then glanced sideways at Ji Yi.
Ji Yi smiled and explained: "I reserved the seat for Senior Lu! If not, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come."
Lu Bai whispered 'ah,' making it unclear whether he was satisfied or not.
After he was seated, Zhan Yu, who had been playing with his cellphone with his head down, suddenly looked up at Ji Yi with a fierce glare. Ji Yi happily responded with a 'You'll have to thank me' expression on his face.
Zhan Yu gritted his teeth as he thought: 'Sure enough, there's no free lunch in this world! This Ji Yi did it all on purpose! Otherwise, why would he have Lu Bai sit right in front of him!
Even several bored people in the room began to notice the subtle situation. Zhong Qin tugged Zhan Yu's sleeves and whispered in his ear: "Why is Senior Lu's seat right in front of you?"
Zhan Yu was unhappy with his question, but he still controlled his tone as he replied: "How do I know?" That bastard definitely set this up.
When Zhong noticed his dissatisfied look, he hurriedly said, "But President Ji probably just wants to help you get closer to Senior Lu. He's given you a rare opportunity!"
Upon hearing their conversation, Lu Bai, who sat upfront, lifted the corner of his lips and smirked. 'Hmph, who cares!'
Lu Bai had little interest in these competitions. Since the program hasn't started yet, he looked through his mailbox to check the documents sent over by his assistant. Occasionally however, he would look up when hearing that slightly dissatisfied female and male voice that resounded clearly from behind him.
'Haha, men are very fickle.' They would spout all kinds of flattery and admiration while pursuing someone, but once they have new goal, the former is easily abandoned.
Lu Bai silently labeled his as someone who liked to 'play with people's feelings.'
Zhan Yu automatically blocked out the contents of the audience's whispers behind him, including their worship and love for Lu Bai, their gossip of his crazy pursuits, and the strange coincidence that both their seats were this close to each other.
At the start of the program, Zhan Yu tried to focus his attention on the two MC's. 'Um, their clothes were well chosen. The two of them also seem very generous and the occasion is handled in a very coherent and responsive manner. Also, they skillfully delivered their lines and properly grasped the emotions with their words.'
'The two sisters also cooperated very well with each other.' After watching most of the program, Zhan Yu felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge. But the person in front of him had to go out and answer his phone from time to time, which made him feel irritated.
Every time Lu Bai stood up, a little disturbance would happen all around them, and the name 'Lu Bai' would be mentioned by people hundreds of times.
After who knows how many times the man had returned to his seat, Zhan Yu's mood finally flared up. He impulsively complained as he sat down: "Classmate, can you please keep a low profile?
Zhan Yu felt as if his brain had malfunctioned! But he was glad that he didn't say it loudly, which means the other guy shouldn't have heard it. Even if he did hear, based on the script, he would surely continue to ignore him.
But to her surprise, Lu Bai turned around and looked at him.
With that meaningful, cold glare of his...
Zhan Yu felt himself tremble unconsciously- 'I'm finished!'
Sure enough, Lu Bai, who seemed to have taken the wrong medicine tonight, retorted back at his lightly and said, "Don't you set an example yourself on keeping a low profile?"
'WTF!'
Zhan Yu's mind was in a frenzy: 'Why is he talking to me? Does Lu Bai have the wrong soul in him too? What do I do, what do I do?'
While his mind was stuck on this issue, Lu Bai glanced at him lightly, seemingly indifferent to his response. He turned around and stared straight at the show ahead.
And Zhan Yu, who remained seated, silently looked at the male protagonist's back and thought: 'Ah seriously! Even the guy's back looks so tempting, there's definitely something wrong with me!'
Likewise, all of the gossipers present were losing their minds at that same moment! Lu Bai had walked in together with Zhan Yu earlier, and even their seats were right in front of the other. Not only that, the male god turned around and talked to him(Zhan Yu)! What's going on between the two of them! Was Lu Bai really seduced by that Zhan Yu?
That's terrible!
This time, neither the audience nor contestants were feeling calm.
It wasn't easy to wait until the end of the program. After the MC's announced the results of the competition, the event wrapped up without a hitch and Lu Bai stood up and shook hands with several of the school leaders. Zhan Yu didn't get up to see him (Lu Bai), and of course, the main reason was to avoid suspicion.
However, Zhan Yu clearly heard the principal respectfully call him: "CEO Lu."
Upon hearing such a respectful address, he couldn't help but think, do they really have to be so businesslike?
Lu Bai soon left the auditorium. Naturally, Zhong Qin didn't want to linger here any longer so he planned to go back to the dormitory.
Meanwhile, Zhan Yu recalled that his mother, Bai Ning, left soup back at hid apartment. He still had to go back, so he said his goodbyes to Zhong Qin before leaving.
Zhong Qin looked at him and said teasingly, "Xiao Yu, we've known each other for so long and we've also shared the same dorm for a while now. Then tell me, how far have you and Mr. Lu progressed?"
"Huh?" Xin Siyue didn't understand.
Zhong Qin smiled and explained: "Don't think that we have no clue. Just now, I saw Senior Lu turn around and talk to you deliberately!"
Zhan Yu calmed down. "He's just-"
"Just what?"
Before thinking more about what to reply, Zhan Yu simply threw a sentence: "He just forgot to take the right medicine today."
After catching Zhong Qin off guard, Zhan Yu took this opportunity to slip away.
'Students who love gossip are really hard to deal with!'
As the crowd of students went to the front of the school gate, Zhan Yu also followed along while feeling confused. Where was his apartment located again?
As he stood by the school gate, he carefully tried to recall where the male protagonist resided, but with someone as rich as him, there were several places to choose from to live alone. Zhan Yu didn't have the habit of memorizing a person's exact address. Since he simply glanced at it while reading the novel, nothing came to mind, even as he racked his brains.
With no other choice, he sent a message to Zhan Qiancheng, asking him to send a specific address.
Zhan Qiancheng was speechless. If his brother was this silly, how can he possibly save him in the future?
Zhan Yu took a taxi to go to his so-called apartment. When he arrived at his destination, he looked up at the grand gate of her apartment complex and had a moment's hesitation. Did they have to design it so luxuriously?
He stiffly went up the stairs step by step, thoroughly feeling like a country bumpkin ever since arriving in this world.
Only then did he realize that he needed more time to adapt to the fact that he was now a local wealthy heir.
