Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Afraid You’d Be Scared Walking Alone

Lu Youxi might have helped a lot at home, but it was Liu Yushu who did the cooking, with Lu Youxi just assisting on the side.

She had watched plenty, but never really cooked on her own.

"Mom, it’s your first visit, let me cook," Zhou Shuyan bragged.

Liu Yushu was shocked, "You know how to cook?"

Zhou Shuyan opened the fridge and said, "Not really, so I usually buy these pre-prepared meals. The seasonings are all set, you just need to throw it all in the pot. Some just need reheating in the microwave."

"Ah, save those for when you need to make something simple. Today, I’ll cook something fresh for you," Liu Yushu thought about the internet café opening soon, where she’d be responsible for making boxed lunches for customers and wouldn’t have time to come cook for them.

It was best to save these semi-prepared meals for the two kids to heat up themselves – simple and convenient.

So dinner was still prepared by Liu Yushu.

After the family squeezed into the small dining room and finished dinner, Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo took Lu Youxue and left.

Not until they had left did Lu Youxi breathe a sigh of relief, "This is good, now you won’t need to keep going to my place."

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

Lu Youxi knew exactly how to make him frustrated.

Zhou Shuyan let out a slight smile and said unhurriedly, "But doesn’t that mean you’ll be homeless in the future?"

Lu Youxi: "..."

You know exactly how to hurt each other.

"But no worries, you can still go back," Zhou Shuyan said with a smile. "It’s totally normal for a daughter to stay at her parents’ house now and then even after marriage. When the time comes, I’ll accompany you back; mom and dad won’t say anything."

Zhou Shuyan had reminded Lu Youxi, who continued, "Actually, it’s no problem if you don’t go back. I’ll just say you’re on a business trip, and I’ll take the chance to stay at home."

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

This woman has no heart!

"Alright then." Zhou Shuyan decided he’d figure out a way to go back with Lu Youxi later.

At that moment, he rolled up his sleeves to clean up the remaining soup and dishes on the table.

Dinner was made by Liu Yushu, who along with Lu Zhenguo, had been firmly stopped by Zhou Shuyan from washing dishes.

He argued that she had worked hard cooking and that he would take care of the rest.

And told Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu to go rest as soon as possible.

Lu Youxi also chimed in from the side.

Lu Youxi simply wanted Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu to leave quickly so she could head back to school with her luggage.

Now seeing Zhou Shuyan with his sleeves rolled up washing dishes, Lu Youxi felt awkward just walking away, so she started helping with the cleanup.

Zhou Shuyan saw her and didn’t stop her, just handed Lu Youxi a dry sponge, "I’ll wash, you just dry off the plates."

By the time the two finished cleaning up, it was almost nine o’clock.

Lu Youxi hurried to grab her luggage, "I need to hurry."

"Can you make it back in time?" Zhou Shuyan frowned slightly, "Doesn’t your dorm lock doors at 10 PM?"

"One hour should be enough," Lu Youxi was not entirely sure either.

"Let me take you," Zhou Shuyan wiped his hands and said, "If the door’s locked when we get there, we’ll come back."

Lu Youxi swallowed a gulp of water and instinctively looked up at the second-floor bed.

Zhou Shuyan explained, "This place is much bigger than your room, so I’ll sleep on the sofa downstairs, and you take the bed upstairs."

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Shuyan said, "Otherwise, when I have time, I’ll bring back a sofa bed."

"Don’t waste money," Lu Youxi said, "I don’t live here anyway, and today is an exception. Plus, I might not have to come back to stay. What if I manage to get into the dorm before the doors close?"

"Fine," Zhou Shuyan did not want to get a sofa bed – how else would he play the sympathy card in front of Lu Youxi?

The two tidied up and quickly left the house.

Fortunately, since the apartment was near Chengzhou Group, and Chengzhou’s gate was just by the subway station,

This time of day, the roads could get jammed, so it was faster to take the subway.

They took the subway, transferred twice, and arrived at Jing University.

It was too late now for Zhou Shuyan to enter the campus, so he told Lu Youxi, "Whether the dorm is locked or not, let me know when you get there."

"Okay," Lu Youxi agreed, carrying her luggage inside.

Zhou Shuyan waited at the school gate, peering inside through the main entrance.

Though there were street lamps on campus, there wasn’t a soul in sight, which felt quite spine-chilling.

Lu Youxi walked alone on the path, where the grass and trees on each side cast eerie, elongated shadows under the moonlight and lamp light.

Since she hadn’t reached the dormitory area, the surroundings were still academic buildings.

The darkened buildings were shut, with a cold and sinister feel against the backdrop of the lonely, nighttime path.

Lu Youxi had been reborn; in her previous life, she didn’t believe in such supernatural things.

But in this life, she was firmly convinced.

If she could be reborn, who’s to say that there couldn’t be ghosts and spirits in this world?

The quieter the road, the higher Lu Youxi’s heart raced.

Especially with only her footsteps to accompany her, Lu Youxi feared that an extra set of footfalls might suddenly join hers, which would definitely scare her to tears.

Just then, the phone rang suddenly, piercingly loud on the quiet path.

Lu Youxi was startled to the core.

Pulling out her phone, she found it was Zhou Shuyan calling.

"Hello?" Lu Youxi answered, still somewhat shaken, and in the quiet, she instinctively lowered her voice, as if afraid to disturb something.

"I noticed it’s very quiet inside the campus, and I was worried about you walking alone, so I called you," Zhou Shuyan’s voice came warmly through the phone, "Talk to me as you walk, in case anything happens on the way, you can tell me right away."

Upon hearing Zhou Shuyan’s voice, Lu Youxi truly breathed a sigh of relief.

The surroundings remained silent, and only her footsteps could be heard.

But having Zhou Shuyan talking to her, Lu Youxi somehow felt less anxious.

"Okay," Lu Youxi didn’t put on a brave face. Hearing Zhou Shuyan’s voice in her ear seemed to give her a sense of security, making her steps a bit lighter.

Zhou Shuyan did not idle, knowing that Lu Youxi was truly frightened, so he kept finding topics to talk about.

They discussed her plan to open an internet café later.

Mentioning this, Lu Youxi also began talking nonstop until she reached the front of the dorm building.

It was not yet lights out, so the dorm area was bustling. Walking below, she could even hear the playful noises from inside the buildings.

Somewhere, a male dorm was singing at the top of their lungs, loud enough to be heard downstairs.

And some girls in their dorm were laughing sweetly over a conversation.

Lu Youxi stepped up to the entrance and looked inside.

Unexpectedly, the dormitory door was actually locked.
