Chu Yu opened his eyes. The sky outside the window was slightly bright.

He hadn't dreamt the whole night, so he was inexplicably not used to it.

He half-closed his eyes and hugged the quilt in a daze for a while. Then he raised his hand and slammed it hard on the wall. Damn, it hurts!

Chu Yu hissed in pain and gasped. He clenched his red fingers and sighed. As expected, I didn't awaken any magical abilities like copper skin and iron bones.

Good food.

After a nap, his mood had more or less stabilized.

After rolling around on the bed twice, Chu Yu jumped out of bed energetically to wash up.

When he looked in the mirror, he saw a bunch of messy hair on top of his head. Chu Yu pressed the hair with his left hand and held a toothbrush with his right.

He thought of something. He bit his toothbrush, filled two glasses with water, and watered the potted crane orchid in the corner.

Before he left, the hair was successfully pressed down and the hairstyle was intact. Chu Yu was in a good mood and prepared to go to the classroom.

When he opened the door and went out, the door next door opened.

Chu Yu looked up. Lu Shi?

Chu Yu stood in the same spot. He blinked his round eyes and opened the door expressionlessly. He went in, closed the door, opened the door again, and walked out.

When he looked again, the person standing there was still Lu Shi.

Chu Yu murmured, "So it wasn't an illusion …"

Lu Shi's gaze swept over Chu Yu's wet hair. He inexplicably remembered the night before when he touched Chu Yu's hair.

He replied, "Yes, it wasn't."

Perhaps because he woke up early, Lu Shi's voice was slightly hoarse. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes that he didn't hide well.

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked downstairs.

Chu Yu followed him downstairs. After he recovered from his shock, he thought that it would be strange if Lu Shi didn't live next door to him.

The luxurious single dormitory on this floor of Jia Ning Private Academy had top-notch living conditions. There were only a few rooms in total. Even if you had money, you couldn't stay there.

For example, He Zhihao wanted to be Chu Yu's neighbor and live next door to him. Before the start of the first year of high school, he cried and wailed, but in the end, he still couldn't move in.

As for Chu Yu, after his mother bought the school, her assistant was very considerate. She specially chose the room on this floor that was furthest from the stairs for him to live in.

He was quite satisfied. It was quiet and there wouldn't be many people passing by the door. It was convenient for him to sleep in.

After living here for more than a year, Chu Yu knew that on this floor, starting from the stairs, there were rooms next to each other. Basically, all the rooms were occupied by the first, second, and third places of each grade, as well as the strong contestants.

As for Lu Shi, he was in the first year of high school at the branch. Now that he had moved to the headquarters, he would naturally move in as well.

He reckoned that he was the only bad student on this floor.

Following behind Lu Shi, Chu Yu was hesitant about whether he should go up and talk to him.

But … what should I say?

I sucked so much of your blood, are you dizzy?

Do you want to eat blood replenishing granules? I'll buy them for you!

Did you catch a cold last night?

What did you eat for supper?

Before he could finish hesitating, Chu Yu saw a tall and thin boy wearing glasses waving at Lu Shi from the second-floor corridor.

He found the boy familiar and quickly recognized him. He was Zhu Zhifei, whom he had dinner with before.

Zhu Zhifei was talking to Lu Shi.

"Lu Ge, did Stone call you?

I've already received three phone calls! "

"No, what's the matter?"

Lu Shi lowered his eyelashes and put his right hand in his pocket. His head was slightly lowered as he listened to Zhu Zhifei talk. The lines of his neck were clean and beautiful.

"He said that tomorrow is Saturday and that we must go back. He has already bought the electric stove and hotpot soup base. He also found out how to make the soup base." Zhu Zhifei adjusted his glasses. "From Stone's tone, I heard that he was a little too excited.

But Lu Ge, are you going back this weekend? "

Jia Ning Private School was not strict with its resident students. No one cared whether you were in school or not during the weekend. It was fine as long as you were in the dormitory on Sunday night.

However, Zhu Zhifei knew that Lu Shi lived alone and had no one to talk to at home. Therefore, when he was at the branch, he would only go back to Qingchuan Road once every ten days or half a month.

Lu Shi held a black gel pen in his left hand. He woke up grumpily and looked cold when he was expressionless. "Yes, I'm going back."

"I think after we leave, Stone will be lonely and won't have anyone to play games with."

Zhu Zhifei was surprised to see someone walking two steps behind him. He stopped and greeted him. "Young Master?"

Lu Shi also stopped and turned to look at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu felt uneasy.

He said dryly, "Good morning."

Lu Shi said, "Morning."

"Good morning!"

Zhu Zhifei saw Lu Shi's cold face and was afraid that Chu Yu would feel awkward, so he quickly said warmly, "Lu Ge and I are going to the cafeteria for breakfast. Do you want to come with us?

The three of us are just right. "

He had a good impression of Chu Yu. In addition, he had gossiped about the real person in front of Chu Yu, so he was a little embarrassed now.

However, after saying that, Zhu Zhifei felt a little regretful. Lu Shi did not like Chu Yu from the beginning. On the first day of school, there were rumors that they were not on good terms. Would it be inappropriate for him to invite him so rashly?

Chu Yu had drunk too much blood at the temperature-controlled botanical garden yesterday afternoon. He had no appetite for anything, not even candy.

When he heard the word "cafeteria", he quickly refused. "I'm not hungry. You guys go ahead."

Seeing that Chu Yu refused, Zhu Zhifei heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Lu Shi's expression and did not try to persuade him again. "Okay, then Lu Ge and I will leave first. Let's hang out together next time."

Chu Yu arrived at the classroom much earlier than usual. However, Zhang Yueshan and Li Hua, who were sitting in front of him, were both straight-A students, so they arrived even earlier.

Seeing that Chu Yu had arrived, Zhang Yueshan looked him up and down. "Compared to yesterday morning, you look much better. How's your illness? Are you feeling better?"

Chu Yu nodded. "Almost."

After saying that, he was stunned for a moment.

It was only yesterday, but it felt like a long time had passed.

Zhang Yueshan saw that no one was paying attention to him and asked softly, "Just now, I was discussing with my deskmate whether you really fainted or not yesterday."

Chu Yu did not hide it from him. "It was fake."

Li Hua did not dare to talk to Chu Yu for the first two days. Now, he came over and said, "Wow, you really faked it!

But aren't you the son of the school director? Why don't you be more arrogant?

For example … for example, like in TV dramas, you can slam the table and tell the English teacher that you want to disappear from my sight!

Immediately, right now!

Like this? "

Chu Yu pulled out a chair and sat down. He supported his chin with his hand and explained softly, "It's so good to be a weak and pitiful little white flower!

Think about it. If I really did what you said, the principal would indeed fire this teacher for my mother's sake.

But for me, I would be labeled as a bossy and domineering person who bullies others. I would be at a disadvantage!

Also, no matter what Teacher Wang did, everyone would subconsciously sympathize with the weak. In the end, even though I was the one who was bullied, others would say that I bullied the teacher and caused him to be suspended and lose his job.

Also, I still have two years of school to go. In these two years, how would the other teachers see me and treat me? "

Li Hua was suddenly enlightened and clapped his hands. "Wonderful!

That's brilliant! "

Zhang Yueshan also understood. "But it's different now. As the son of the school director, even though you were sick and felt wronged, you still followed the teacher's instructions and stood there as punishment. How respectful of the teacher!

In the end, you even fainted in the corridor. How pitiful! "

"Now that I think about it, I also feel that I'm very pitiful." Chu Yu had a sly look in his eyes. "My brother and sister used to teach me that no matter what, humans are social animals. When dealing with things, we can't just do whatever we want. We still have to consider other things."

After he said that, he suddenly remembered that Lu Shi, who had cooperated with him at that time, was not surprised at all when he "fainted."

Zhang Yueshan clasped his hands. "I learned a lesson!"

He saw the study committee member, Fang Ziqi, coming in from the back door and remembered something. "By the way, Chu Yu, have you done your homework?"

"F * ck, I didn't do it!

Wait, I had homework yesterday? "

Zhang Yueshan: "…"

Chu Yu followed the principle of only copying multiple-choice questions and his hand speed was very fast.

When Lu Shi entered the classroom, he had already finished copying. He took out a comic book and was reading it seriously.

Chu Yu's phone rang with a message notification. He tapped it with one hand and glanced at it. It was a message from his bank account.

One hundred thousand yuan.

Chu Yu calculated the time. His mother was overseas and there was a time difference. She was probably done with her work by now.

It had been like this since he was young. No matter if he was sick, sad, unhappy, or even had nightmares or insomnia, Shi Yaling would send him money when she found out.

In elementary school, when everyone did not have much of a concept of pocket money, his daily pocket money was already close to five digits.

Sometimes, he would think that the parents of his classmates, including He Zhihao's parents, would ask He Zhihao not to cause trouble in school, to study hard, and not to go out to play.

However, Shi Yaling would never ask him to do that.

Since he was young, all she asked of him was to be healthy, safe, and happy.

As for whether he caused trouble or studied, his mother did not care.

Chu Yu stared at the content of the message on the screen for a long time before he typed a reply. "Thank you, Mom. Take care of yourself."

He thought about it and deleted the last five words and clicked send.

The first class was the language class of their homeroom teacher, Old Ye.

Old Ye taught well and had his own style. However, he was very long-winded. In the first five minutes of every class, he would give them a lot of chicken soup for the soul.

Sometimes, he would be so moved that he would even compose a poem on the spot.

On the podium, Old Ye was reciting a prose poem that he had written on the spot. His voice was full of emotion.

Chu Yu was hypnotized. He was lying on the desk and was a little sleepy.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a page being torn from the inside of his notebook.

Within a few seconds, a piece of paper appeared on Chu Yu's desk. It was passed from the desk behind him.

There were only three words on it. What's wrong?

Do you prodigies pass notes around in class? Do you pass them around in whole sheets of paper?

After Chu Yu finished reading, he took out a pen from under his desk and prepared to reply.

Lu Shi's handwriting was extraordinarily good. He used a pencil to write. His handwriting was strong and firm, and the tip of his pen had a kind of fierce beauty.

When he compared his own handwriting, Chu Yu felt that the gap between them was not just a little bit big.

He suddenly did not dare to reply to the paper.

He really could not bear this cruel comparison.

Therefore, he simply turned around and whispered to the desk behind him. "I'm fine. I'm just sleepy because of Old Ye."

From the corner of his eye, he saw a book in front of Lu Shi. It was quite thick. Anyway, it was not a language textbook.

"Okay."

Lu Shi did not say much. He only responded with a grunt and continued to do the questions.

After finishing a page of questions, Lu Shi was about to turn the page and continue when a ball of paper was thrown at him from the front.

When he opened it, the paper was only the size of a palm.

There was a line of words written on it. "Student Lu Shi, do you think … it's possible for me to join an organization like the Scarlet Rose Crusaders? Or will there be people like the Templar Knights coming to kill me?"

The handwriting was neat and tidy.

The space on the paper was too small. Lu Shi was too lazy to write anymore. He directly said, "Chu Yu."

Chu Yu turned around and whispered, "Huh?"

Lu Shi raised his eyebrows. "What comic are you reading?"

Chu Yu revealed the colorful cover of the comic book in his hand. He answered honestly, "The Forbidden Love of the Scarlet Rose and the Templar Knights."

He was also a little curious. "Then what are you reading?"

Lu Shi revealed the cover of the comic book. There were a few golden words on it. "Three Thousand Mathematical Olympiad Questions."

Chu Yu thought to himself, 'Why did I embarrass myself?'
