The enthusiasm of the people around rose, accompanied by loud applause and shouts.
Thinking it was just a friendly match, Su Qing was ready to leave when a WeChat message popped up on her phone.
Lu Xiu: [I see you]
Her eyes trembled for a moment as she looked up to find Lu Xiu on the racetrack. His eyes carried a hint of mockery, and there was a smile on his lips as he gazed at her through the crowd. Su Qing licked her lips nervously, immediately averting her gaze. Unnoticed by anyone, her cheeks flushed red. She pondered for a moment, unsure how to explain. Her mind seemed to freeze at that moment.
"Do you feel like Young Master Lu is staring in our direction?"
"Could it be he's really looking at Lin Siyu? Seems like a hammer blow."
Lin Siyu seemed to hear the conversations around her. She flicked her hair flirtatiously and made a "shh" gesture, as if unsubstantiated rumors were being crucified. She appeared like a girl immersed in love, but only Su Qing knew she was pretending. She had fooled everyone.
When the time came, everyone on the track went inside to change clothes, and many spectators left the stands. Su Qing glanced around and prepared to go to the restroom before leaving.
The cold water splashed on her cheeks, piercing through her skin with pain. She wished to curse herself awake.
Exiting the restroom, she hadn't walked a few steps when she bumped into Lu Xiu coming from the opposite direction. The place was quite spacious, so why did they have to meet here?
She pretended not to see him and walked past, but Lu Xiu raised an eyebrow and blocked her path, his deep voice penetrating her eardrums. "Here to see me? Didn't you say you didn't want me anymore?"
"No." Her voice sounded hoarse, surprising even herself. Her throat felt sore, even though she had been fine in the morning.
Lu Xiu paused, reaching out as if to touch her forehead. Luckily, she wasn't running a fever. Su Qing stepped back, pursing her lips, silent. He watched her subtle movements, giving a self-deprecating smile, his eyes deep and enigmatic. After sighing, he spoke after a long while. "Su Qing, is this interesting to you?"
Su Qing's face turned red, and she couldn't explain anyway. Just as she took a couple of steps away from him, he grabbed her wrist. She was so light that he could easily pull her into his arms.
As fragile as a piece of paper, utterly powerless. Her throat went dry, and she couldn't break free, twisting her wrist gently as she called out, "Lu Xiu." Lu Xiu's expression stiffened for a moment. He lowered his head, looking at her, as if trying to understand. "Forget it, let's go buy some medicine."
Saying that, he pulled Su Qing towards the door. She didn't refuse; refusing would be useless.
It was a distance from the restroom to the door, and although there weren't many people on the way, there were still a few scattered around. Su Qing felt a chill down her spine, always feeling like someone was watching her.
"Don't pull me; I can walk by myself."
She gritted her teeth, hesitating for a moment before saying so.
Lu Xiu snorted and let go of her hand, walking very slowly to walk alongside her.
As they neared the door, a tall figure stood there—Lin Siyu.
For some reason, Su Qing dodged behind Lu Xiu for a moment, just a moment, but Lu Xiu saw it, turning his head to glance at the girl behind him.
"Your girlfriend is here." She said intentionally, her expression finally becoming lively, like a cunning little fox.
Lu Xiu's heart suddenly thudded heavily, feeling like he was back in high school. At that time, she could always catch him off guard and leave him speechless. Everything seemed to have changed, yet nothing had changed…
Upon seeing Lu Xiu, Lin Siyu's smile grew wider, and she touched her hair, as if fully prepared.
"Lu Xiu…" Her voice was a bit loud, attracting the attention of those around them. It seemed like she paused for a moment when she saw the figure behind Lu Xiu, then returned to normal, looking as if they had known each other for a long time. Lu Xiu, being straightforward, didn't mince his words. He grabbed Su Qing and pulled her over, not speaking to Lin Siyu. Instead, he asked Su Qing, "Is she my girlfriend? How come I don't know?"
Su Qing wanted to find a hole to hide in at this moment. Their actions seemed a bit ambiguous, and she shrugged her shoulders, trying to break free from his grasp to draw a clear boundary.
Lin Siyu watched the scene with some embarrassment. After all, everyone was watching, and even many of her fans thought they were together now.
"Congratulations on getting first place, Lu Xiu." She smiled coquettishly, speaking in a girlfriend-like tone.
"Who the hell are you? I've tolerated you for a long time. Do I know you? Acting like we're so close." Lu Xiu's eyes showed anger, and his tone didn't soften at all.
Lin Siyu didn't expect him to be so disrespectful to her. No matter how you looked at it, she was a big internet celebrity, and her family conditions were not bad. No one had ever talked to her like this before, and the key point was that it was Lu Xiu. Who dared to talk back?
She could only hold back, her eyes reddening, looking somewhat pitiful. But Lu Xiu still looked like he didn't care about her affairs, preparing to get into the car.
"It seems like she's about to cry." Su Qing suddenly blurted out at this moment. To be honest, she didn't want to intervene, but with so many people around here on the street, she would definitely be on the hot search later.
"What's it got to do with me?" Lu Xiu replied without thinking. Su Qing felt speechless about him. She took a tissue out of her pocket and handed it to Lin Siyu. She was just about to comfort her when the other party crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it at Su Qing.
Although she didn't feel it, it was somewhat insulting. She frowned, and Lu Xiu suddenly hugged her.
"Are you crazy? What are you doing?" He scolded unreservedly, his expression disple.
These sentences penetrated into the ears of everyone present, leaving them incredulous as they watched, as if they were witnessing a spectacle. There were quite a few videos of Lu Xiu cursing people on Weibo, and watching it up close was indeed frightening. They say the young master Lu dares not to offend, and that statement is not wrong. When he goes crazy, no one can stop him.
Lin Siyu was naturally intimidated by his voice, her expression starting to become unnatural. Originally, she just wanted to take advantage of the situation, but now she might have dragged her own career into it.
Su Qing stood beside him, his voice piercing into her ears like a sharp sword, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
Lu Xiu looked back, his expression softened considerably, and his eyes immediately filled with a smile. Everything looked very beautiful.
Su Qing's throat felt itchy, and she coughed a few times. Lu Xiu didn't bother with the woman anymore, helping her open the car door.
As they sat in the car, Su Qing struggled to say, "Could you take me home? I have medicine at my place."
Lu Xiu's long fingers held the steering wheel, and he casually replied, "Why don't you come to my place? Is your place even habitable?"
