Chapter 24

The moment Chen Xing Ruo approaches, Lu Xing Yan feels that his half body is numb. He pauses his action of drying his hair.

Chen Xing Ruo is acting so natural, she smells it and stands back: “What is the brand of your shower gel brand? I like this smell.”

Lu Xing Yan is still at loss for a while, then he answers.

Chen Xing Ruo: “It seems to be a French brand. Forget it, it’s a bit expensive.”

A poor young woman couldn’t be so picky about the shower gel.

“……..”

“Hurry up, the dishes are ready on the table.”

She examines Lu Xing Yan for a while, then goes downstair.

Lu Xing Yan leans on the door and watches Chen Xing Ruo goes far away. For a moment, he couldn’t regain himself.

He feels that his heart beats so quick like the time he is done playing basket. No, this time is much quicker.

D*mm*t, is the shower room not airtight? Why he feels suffocated?

He dries his hair.

———

At night, Lu Xing Yan stays home and goes nowhere, it’s a rare thing to see.

After playing a game for a while, he comes out from his bedroom and goes downstair to find something to eat.

Zhou Yi (Auntie Zhou) is near the fridge, she is taking those not-so-fresh fruits anymore. Lu Xing Yan greets her and finds a bread. He then takes a cartoon of milk.

Looking at how he wants to eat a toast and cold milk, she starts to talk him over: “I’ve been saying this so many times to you. At night you should drink cold things. Put the toast on the toaster first. Then put down the milk, I would warm it up to you!”

“It’s not that I want to be chattery, but now the kids are too careless. You guys don’t pay attention to what you guys eat……..”

“No need to trouble Zhou Yi, I could eat anything.”

His words sound vague as he is biting a toast.

He pours the milk to the glass but Zhou YI takes it from him. She goes to the kitchen to warm it up.

Lu Xing Yan: “……….”

He goes to the door of the kitchen and waits.

Zhou Yi notices he is there and says to him. “I fry two eggs. One for you and one for Xiao Rou. Bring it up for her too.

“Em.” Then he remembers something.

“Oh right, Zhou Yi, the shower gel in my bathroom, do you still have an extra?”

“Lat month I just changed it for you, is it done?” She then says: “There’re few one left. I’ll change it for you tomorrow.”

“No need, I would take it upstair by myself.”

———

Ten minutes later Lu Xing Yan goes upstair with a plate of fried egg and shower gel. He stops in front of Chen Xing Ruo’s door. He doesn’t knock, he just shouts. “Hey, Chen Xing Ruo, open your door.”

“Wait for a while.”

Her voice sounds gloomy.

Chen Xing Ruo just finishes taking shower, her hair is still wet. She hasn’t dried it.

He passes her the plate of egg: “Zhou Yi asked me to take this one for you.”

Chen Xing Ruo has gotten ready to sleep but she doesn’t want to refuse Zhou Yi’s good intention.

Lu Xing Yan sways the bottle shower gel on his hand. “And this one.”

Chen Xing Ruo looks at it: “Is it your shower gel? You don’t take it from your bathroom right?”

Actually she has no expression but Lu Xing Yan knows that she seems to dislike him.

—— Though she keeps on saying that she is poor but she still has an aura of Da Xiao Jie.

“What are you thinking about? This is a new one.”

Lu Xing Yan smiles.

Chen Xing Ruo takes it and glances at him.

They both turn silence for three seconds Chen Xing Ruo is thinking to close the door.

Yet Lu Xing Yan says: “Are you doing your homework?”

“I already finish it earlier. I an writing the conclusion for our experiment.”

Without realizing, the mid-term exams would come soon.

Lu Xing Yan says nothing, Chen Xing Ruo thinks that he asks about it because he wants to copy her homework. But he seems to be embarrassed and shy.

She considers that he is quite generous toward her, Chen Xing Ruo feels that she should be kind and generous to him too. She asks him: “Do you want to borrow my homework? You could take it and take a look at it.”

Lu Xing Yan basically doesn’t think about copying homework.

But he is silent and just follows Chen Xing Ruo inside the room.

He stops in front of the table and Chen Xing Ruo just points to her books. “You could take the books from m backpack.”

She puts down her plate of fried egg, then goes to the bathroom to place her new shower gel.

Lu Xing Yan looks around the room and notices a white strap, that white strap is very thin. He thinks that it’s a charger. He remembers that he forget to bring his charger back home. He goes to the bed and says toward the bathroom. “Chen XIng Ruo, let me borrow your change.”

“Okay.”

Chen Xing Ruo doesn’t care and just takes a hairband on her washing stand inside the bathroom.

Lu Xing Yan stands near the bed side. He takes that strap and notices something is wrong. Then he is so surprised.

Wow.

Underwear?

It’s a simple one, without any decorative figure, there’s also no lace material. It’s a young female style. There’s only a small butterfly design at the back.

Hearing Chen Xing Ruo’s footsteps on the back, Lu Xing Yan also doesn’t know what is happening. He just puts the underwear back inside the blanket. Then he coughs and goes to the table.

He feels that his hands are getting hot.

He suddenly coughs continuously after he sees Chen Xing Ruo.

Before Chen Xing Ruo’s hair is draping on her shoulder, he couldn’t see anything wrong. But now she styles her hair in updo, she could see the straps of her nightie. It’s not really showy.

It’s not really showy but somehow he remembers her underwear’s strap. He doesn’t feel very well.

He coughs for a while then he just stops.

Chen Xing Ruo examines her and asks: “Why are you looking like a thief, do you steal something from me?”

Chen Xing Ruo coughs again.

He tries hard to calm down and tries to form his words. He says: “What nonsense you are talking about, do you think you have something that I could steal.”

“………..”

That’s right.

Chen Xing Ruo doesn’t argue too much. She just looks at him with her expression of ‘you’ve taken my homework, why aren’t you leaving”.

Lu XIng Yan feels lack of confident, he feels even unease to be looked.

He just touches the books around his body then says few words and leaves.

Chen Xing Ruo feels that he is so weird.

After finishing her experiment conclusion, she tidies up her books and notices that her homework is still there, her charger is there too.

She sits down and considers for a while. Her intuition tells her that Lu Xing Yan should do something hidden in her room.

She looks around to examine, everything looks okay.

Forget it, it’s best for him to not let her know about it.

If not, he would be dead.

———-

“No, ….. em…..”

“Too fast…….”

“Be more gentle……”

<knock> <knock?

Chen Xing Ruo knocks on the door. “Lu Xing Yan, it’s lunch time!”

Lu Xing Yan suddenly wakes up.

It’s the last minute.

He is at loss, he is looking at the ceiling.

His alarm keeps on ringing. Lu Xing Yan turns awake.

“Lu Xing Yan, are you sleeping like you are “flying on a crane to the Western Paradise”?”

Chen Xing Ruo’s voice is very calm and flat. The phone keeps on ringing.

“Okay, I’ll go down soon.”

Chen Xing Ruo is too lazy to mind him, she just leaves and goes downstair.

She never sees someone could sleep better than her, she didn’t expect that incompetent man like Lu Xing Yan could sleep so long. How could he sleep peacefully for twelve hours with that low score. If it’s her, she wouldn’t even dare to close her eyes.

———

Lu Xing Yan sits down on his bed.

D*mm*t, it’s too realistic.

It’s just an underwear.

He unexpectedly could have that kind of dream just because an underwear. He even is dreaming about Chen Xing Ruo.

WTF.

He rubs his face and looks at the time.

It’s already 12:00 a.m.

How long had he been dreaming?

His phone suddenly rings.

He gets messages from his WeChat group.

Xu Cheng Zhou: “Great bro!”

Zhao Lang Ming: ‘it’s early morning, you don’t afraid that you would be detained? Fan Ge, you are awesome!

Li Cheng Fan: {Sending a JPG}

Everyone in the group seems to be excited.

Lu Xing Yan looks at it for a while without any expression. The time he is about to throw away his phone, suddenly he is being @.

Xu Cheng Zhou: “Lu Shao Ye, you aren’t awake?? Yesterday you had a ‘spring dream’ right.”

How could this man not choosing a right answer during exam yet this man could see through him well?

Lu Xing Yan: “…….”

Lu Xing Yan: “Sooner or later you would be caught by committees, who crack down on pornography.”

After he sends it, he couldn’t help but to recall his dream.

Xu Cheng Zhou: “Wow, you sound so angry!

Lu Xing Yan types his words, but then he just erases it.

No.

He immediately throws away his phone and gets off his bed to go to the restroom. He takes a shower.

After his shower, he also takes off his dirty bed sheet and throws it to the bamboo crates.

For avoiding Zhou Yi to know about it, he also hides the bamboo crates inside his wardrobe.

Then he goes downstair.

Everyone is eating.

He glances at Chen Xing Ruo.

He sits on the opposite of Chen Xing Ruo. Chen Xing Ruo is eating her food. She lifts up her head to glances at him.

Chen Xing Ruo feels that Lu Xing Yan is very strange person. When he took her to the housefly restaurant, he told her that he has no unhealthy obsession with cleanliness, but now he looks like he has.

He takes a lot of time to take shower.

If he could study as serious as he takes shower, how could he not get 400 in his exam.
