Chapter 121 Arrogant Second-Generation Prodigy (Gong) VS Humble, Sensitive, and Invisible (Shou) [59
“What could possibly happen to Xingye?” Mother Lu sneered, then interrupted, “As long as you don’t interfere in his life, he’ll be fine. Don’t forget what you promised me.”
She didn't want to talk to this person anymore, nor did she want to discuss her son with him too much.
The lessons learned through blood and tears have led her to habitually assume the worst about this man.
If it weren't for that clause in the divorce agreement, she probably would never have allowed Lu Xingye to return to the Lu residence or have any contact with a father like that.
There was no sound from the other end of the phone.
Lu's mother gripped the phone tightly, and after a long pause, spoke with a distant tone: "You don't need to worry about Xingye's affairs."
She didn't want to talk anymore and was about to hang up when the man's voice came through the phone again.
His tone remained calm: "Does it have to be said like this?"
Lu's mother scoffed, "That's right, what else is there for me to say to you?"
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
After her assistant left with her phone, she stood alone, gazing out the window in a daze.
Her memories flashed back, and the glass window seemed to transform into a black cage trapping her inside, where she struggled, cried, and became hysterical.
The more frantic she became, the calmer the people outside the cage seemed.
He sat there high and mighty, his eyes looking down on the caged sparrow. As long as his claws didn't draw blood, he would never raise his hand to grant her freedom.
Therefore, how could she easily give back the freedom and child she had gained at the cost of her life?
It is absolutely impossible.
……
After Christmas, the two spent more time at school.
With winter break approaching, Jiang Xiyu started going to the library to prepare for her final exams.
Lu Xingye had said he would go back and make up for it, but Jiang Xiyu still insisted on going to the library.
There was really no other way. Lu Xingye could do the homework, but he couldn't take the exam for me.
Moreover, once the two of them get home, they're bound to stick together, and once they're stuck together, they're bound to become restless.
Sometimes, when Lu Xingye was teaching him, he would get annoyed with Jiang Xiyu's stupidity and, in a fit of anger, he would punish him by pinching Jiang Xiyu's face. The pinching would turn into touching, and eventually, not only would Jiang Xiyu not do his homework, but whether he would be late for class the next day was also uncertain.
After a while, Jiang Xiyu couldn't stand it anymore, let alone have any interest in studying.
He had been lusting after Lu Xingye to death, and later he simply let Lu Xingye seduce him.
To prevent this kind of lust from clouding his judgment from happening again, Jiang Xiyu insisted on going to the library to study.
Lu Xingye tried to pull him into the car, but Jiang Xiyu refused no matter what.
When the bell rang, the students in the teaching building began to walk towards the school gate.
Even with a mask on, the young master couldn't hide his terrible complexion.
He frowned and asked again, "Are you really going to the library?"
Jiang Xiyu nodded firmly: "Yes, Xingye, please let me go just once. I've really never been before."
"Just studying?"
"Uh-huh."
Lu Xingye looked at him for a while, then said coldly, "Then I'll go with you."
Jiang Xiyu shook his head to refuse: "No need, Xingye-ge. The library is very cold. You can wait for me in the car. I'll only study for an hour, and I'll come out to find you when I'm done. I promise I won't be late."
The main reason is that he can't concentrate on studying when Lu Xingye is around.
Lu Xingye chuckled and disagreed.
He reached out and shook Jiang Xiyu's shoulder, his tone heavy, almost gritting his teeth: "You're not letting me come along because you're planning to cheat on me, aren't you?"
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
Lu Xingye also rejected his suggestion, his attitude firm: "If you won't let me go, then you can forget about going either."
Finally, Jiang Xiyu had no other choice but to agree to go to the library with Lu Xingye.
The two of them have been going to school for so long, and their activities have been limited to the teaching building and the school gate.
Forget about going to the library, they couldn't even find out where the library was.
About half an hour later, Jiang Xiyu finally led Lu Xingye to the location.
There weren't many people in the library at the time, and Jiang Xiyu went in after scanning her face.
However, just then someone came out of this gate, so Lu Xingye moved it aside a bit to make way for them.
The two girls who went out couldn't help but stare at his face.
Jiang Xiyu stood inside and waited for a while, feeling a little jealous, but she had to admit that she had really dressed Lu Xingye up very well.
His long black coat accentuated his height and long legs, and his iris blue hair was carefully combed back, with distinct layers, revealing his smooth and full forehead and deep-set eyes.
He walked to the gate, tilted his head slightly, and took off his mask. As he did so, a few strands of hair, blown by the wind, fell across his forehead. The moment he squinted and raised his chin, his expression carried an arrogant aloofness, as noble and indescribable as a swan.
Jiang Xiyu's heart pounded as she was looked at by that one glance.
After successfully scanning his face, Lu Xingye put on a mask again.
He walked up to Jiang Xiyu, bowed his head and asked him where he wanted to sit.
Jiang Xiyu, without showing any unusual expression, took his hand and led him up to the third floor, where they found a quiet spot by the window to sit down.
Outside the transparent glass, there was still snow that hadn't melted, and students coming and going.
Lu Xingye sat next to him, crossing his legs and watching.
Jiang Xiyu took out her laptop from her backpack and then took out the hand warmers she had prepared for Lu Xingye and stuffed them into his arms.
Lu Xingye lowered his voice and questioned him, "Why is it pink again, Jiang Xiyu?"
Jiang Xiyu smiled somewhat embarrassedly and whispered reassurance, "I took the wrong one, I took the wrong one, just bear with it."
Lu Xingye suspected that he did it on purpose, but given the current conditions, he had no choice and reluctantly accepted the embrace.
Jiang Xiyu carefully moved her chair closer to him before turning on her computer to study.
Seeing this, Lu Xingye's eyebrows twitched with pleasure, and he quietly started playing with his silent phone next to him.
The library was very quiet.
Jiang Xiyu was listening to a lecture while wearing headphones. Halfway through, she reached for her pen but found that it was missing from the table.
He looked up and saw Lu Xingye staring at him, one hand supporting his chin, the other hand casually twirling his pen between his fingers.
Jiang Xiyu opened her mouth and asked him what she wanted.
Lu Xingye put down his pen, then suddenly sat up straight and reached out to him.
Jiang Xiyu's hand gripping the book pages tensed for a moment, then she felt someone knead her left earlobe, and the spot immediately felt like it was on fire.
His body stiffened, somewhat unable to believe that Lu Xingye would dare to do this in the library. Just as he was about to speak to stop him, he felt his left wired earphone being taken away.
Lu Xingye seemed to smile, then raised his hand and put the earphones he had taken off into his ears.
The long, slender fingers traced a line, and the silver earring reflected a subtle, cool light.
Lu Xingye yawned, as if he was a little sleepy. He closed his eyes wearily for a moment and then opened them again. He glanced around and, seeing that there was no one around, leaned closer to Jiang Xiyu and kissed him on the cheek.
The cool, light fragrance wafted and faded in the air. Lu Xingye said softly, "I'm a little sleepy."
Before Jiang Xiyu could react, she felt a weight on her shoulder.
After a while, he glanced to the side and found that Lu Xingye had leaned his head against him.
Jiang Xiyu's heart jumped, and she nervously looked around. She only felt relieved when she saw that no one was watching.
Fortunately, there are few people here.
He didn't want to refuse Lu Xingye's advances, and worried that he was too stiff, so he deliberately softened his shoulders and asked him, "Will this make you uncomfortable?"
"What if you're not feeling well? You just won't leave."
Jiang Xiyu detected a hint of resentment in his words and couldn't help but smile gently.
He noticed that Lu Xingye was a little different. Although there wasn't a significant change from before, he seemed to be more patient with him.
In the past, if he were asked to sit in the library like this, he wouldn't have been able to sit for even a minute, let alone half an hour.
Now, it can actually stay here with me for so long, without making a fuss or causing any disturbance.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiyu's eyebrows curved into a smile.
He let Lu Xingye lean against him, his fingertips tracing the touchscreen of the laptop, and then changed the audio of the presentation to soothing music.
The moment Lu Xingye heard the music, a barely audible chuckle escaped his nose.
It was as if they were laughing at Jiang Xiyu for being so serious about this kind of romance, and also as if they were laughing at themselves for actually having their hearts pounding for this behavior.
His hands, hidden in the hand warmer, curled up uncomfortably, and he looked out the window with his eyes slightly open.
I don't know when, but snowflakes started falling outside the window.
On a winter's day like this, you can listen to music and watch the snow with someone you like.
Jiang Xiyu couldn't imagine anything happier than this.
He struggled internally for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the embarrassment and tilted his head to look into Lu Xingye's eyes.
After a while, their eyes met.
Jiang Xiyu chuckled softly and said to him, "How wonderful~ Brother Xingye."
The young master, feigning shyness, stubbornly replied, "So-so."
