The phone gave a “ding” as a message arrived. Li Yu glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and his eyes immediately lit up. “Brother Lu?”
Brother Lu: Tomorrow is the weekend. May I invite the handsome classmate Li Yu to go out and have some fun together?
Li Yu looked down at his phone, his eyes lowered. His black eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and sweet dimples appeared on his face. He moved his fingers a few times and typed out a few words.
Li Yu: Sure!
Li Yu was likely too excited to sleep all night, tossing and turning as he imagined the scene of seeing Brother Lu tomorrow.
He suddenly thought of something, sat up, and stared at his wardrobe.
“I need to dress up properly to see Brother Lu tomorrow. I cannot be as sloppy as I am at home.”
Li Yu turned his head and saw his reflection in the mirror. His hair was messy and disheveled, and there were dark circles under his eyes.
“Oh my god! Are these dark circles?”
“After finding matching clothes, I must go to sleep immediately! I need to rest well to meet Brother Lu with my best look tomorrow!”
As he thought this, Li Yu opened the wardrobe and began to ponder.
In the early morning, the alarm clock rang right on time.
Li Yu frowned with sleepy eyes, turned off the alarm irritably, and continued to sleep. A few seconds later, the person on the bed sat up as if jolted by a shock.
“I almost forgot about the appointment with Brother Lu!”
Li Yu immediately pulled off his blanket, put on his shoes, and headed to the bathroom.
As soon as Li Yu arrived at the designated location, he saw the young man walking toward him in sportswear. For the first time in his life, he heard his own heartbeat racing in chaotic rhythms.
“Brother Lu, I am sorry to have kept you waiting!” Li Yu rubbed his neck sheepishly.
“It is fine. I just arrived as well.” Zhou Lu’s dark, clear eyes were like springs, shimmering with a pure luster. A gentle breeze blew by, brushing through the locks of hair on his forehead.
He curved his lips slightly and gave Li Yu a faint smile. He seemed to radiate a soft white light, and he gave people such a gentle and kind feeling.
They had been playing for about half a day, and the sky had gradually turned dark. They came to the entrance of a cinema.
“Little Yu, do you like watching movies? Shall we watch a movie together?” Zhou Lu lowered his head and asked Li Yu in front of him.
Li Yu’s height of one meter seventy-nine was not considered short in the eyes of others, and he looked particularly well-matched standing in front of Zhou Lu, who was one meter eighty-two.
In fact, his interest in movies was average, but it was Zhou Lu who had suggested watching a movie together!
How could his heart not race?
Li Yu looked up and met Zhou Lu’s gaze. “I like it. I especially like watching movies.”
After entering the cinema, Li Yu found his seat and sat down.
When the lights dimmed, only the faint light projected from the silver screen remained, failing to illuminate every corner.
Li Yu turned to look at Zhou Lu’s profile and bright eyes. His heart beat rapidly, and after swallowing hard, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
The movie ended, and it was already night when the two walked out of the cinema.
“I had so much fun today! It has been a long time since I played this recklessly!” Li Yu stretched his waist and said with relief.
“I am glad you are happy.”
Looking at Li Yu’s expression now, he looked exactly like a small orange cat that had just finished a meal and was lazily licking its fur.
A flicker of fiery heat jumped in Zhou Lu’s eyes.
He thought, “He is so cute it is killing me.”
His hand could not help but rest on Li Yu’s shoulder, and his mouth curved upward. “Let us go. Brother will walk you home.”
It took Li Yu only two seconds to react to Zhou Lu’s words. He felt a light pressure resting on his shoulder. His face was stained with two patches of pink, and he lowered his head somewhat shyly.
