Zhu Zhifei was engrossed in eating fried rice and didn't notice Lu Shi switching the plates.

Wei Guanglei caught a glimpse and glanced at Lu Shi who was now drinking tea from a disposable plastic cup, but didn't say anything.

Since eating hot pot together last week, he'd always been a bit doubtful and unsure of a certain notion.

This notion now seemed to have a clear answer.

The Lu Shi he knew had no particularly strong emotions regarding anything and was consistently indifferent.

When playing multiplayer games to carry him and Zhu Zhifei, he wasn't like them who'd be irritable and unwilling to lose.

For Lu Shi, no matter whether he won or lost, his expression never changed.

Racing and fishing were all for earning money.

As for studying, Wei Guanglei believed this person just possessed the IQ and was used to being excellent. Lu Shi had also stated before, 'placing first in the exams means getting a full scholarship, living in a dormitory with the best conditions, and attaining a certain degree of freedom. I can get first place, so why wouldn't I take it?'.

Therefore, Wei Guanglei originally assumed that the emotions of this brother of his were too bland, so much so that there was even some obscure pessimism. Probably no existence could easily arouse his care and feelings.

Until Chu Yu appeared.

This person was just like an accident and so Wei Guanglei couldn't help but overthrow his own judgment.

Thinking about it, he didn't really know what exactly was going on between Lu Shi and Chu Yu.

But he could see that the degree of Lu Shi's concern for Chu Yu already exceeded everything else; it was even beyond the range of normal.

Regardless of whether his concern was that of a hunter's excitement when facing its prey, unrelenting possessiveness, or other things, Wei Guanglei still felt a bit apprehensive.

All of his intense emotions were directed at one person. On the surface, he was unyielding and took the lead to seize the upper hand.

In reality, all his attention, thoughts, and emotions revolved around that one person. He'd already, entirely, plunged himself into passiveness.

The Qingchuan River flowed slowly as the wind blew quite deftly, carrying moist water vapor across their faces.

After finishing half a plate of fried rice, Zhu Zhifei finally placated the hunger in his stomach. He then raised his head and dragged out his tone with passion. "This is the life!"

He stroked his stomach again. "Unfortunately, just thinking of going home and writing two sets of homework makes the pit of my fucking stomach ache!"

Chu Yu, who was eating his fish, was surprised when he heard the other's words. "It's almost two o'clock now, yet you still have to do homework when you get home? How late will you have to stay up?"

"My mother enrolled me into two cram schools, so all day tomorrow I'll be doing homework there. I can finish two tonight. Either way, I can't sleep when I get back."

Zhu Zhifei used his chopsticks to poke the remaining half of his fried rice. "My mother is absolute. Second year of high school just started, but she's already searching up third year recipes. Fearing that I'll overuse my brain, she asked the neighbors around about what best soups there are for replenishing the brain. So to say, this indicates that my mother is merely just beginning her meritorious deeds by enrolling me into two cram schools. I reckon I won't even be free on Saturdays next semester."
