Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Zhou Shuyan: Can I Go Up?

"The dormitory door is really locked..." Lu Youxi said helplessly to Zhou Shuyan.

Since Lu Youxi couldn’t see anyway, Zhou Shuyan didn’t need to control the curl of his lips, but his voice carried a hint of helplessness, "Then come out with your luggage, I’ll stop a taxi and wait for you."

She came by subway to avoid traffic congestion.

But it was always somewhat inconvenient for Lu Youxi to carry her luggage.

There was no need to worry about being late on the way back; it was more comfortable to take a car.

Lu Youxi replied with an "Okay," and the call never disconnected.

As she walked a distance from which she could see the school gate, she saw Zhou Shuyan standing under the streetlight at the Jing University entrance, looking in her direction.

The light shone on him, casting a long shadow on the ground.

At that moment, he was holding his phone, still talking to her, "I see you."

Immediately afterward, Zhou Shuyan gestured for her to come over.

Lu Youxi’s heart raced slightly, and she began to jog subconsciously.

She didn’t even have the time to think more; her only thought was to quickly reach Zhou Shuyan’s side.

As Lu Youxi approached Zhou Shuyan, she felt the warm glow of the dim streetlight shining on him intensify.

It was deep autumn by now, and Zhou Shuyan had switched to a trench coat.

On others, it might have seemed a bit long, but on him it only reached above his knees, making his figure seem even more slender, standing under the light like a jade statue.

Lu Youxi’s heartbeat missed a beat, and unconsciously, she slowed down, eventually coming to a gradual stop at the school entrance.

"Youxi?" Zhou Shuyan walked towards her from under the streetlight.

Lu Youxi came back to her senses and stepped out of the school gate, carrying her luggage.

She had just taken a step out, not yet fully outside, when Zhou Shuyan took her luggage from her.

When Lu Youxi had seen him from afar, warmth had filled her, and the panic she had felt earlier dispersed.

Now standing in front of Zhou Shuyan, Lu Youxi couldn’t even remember the fear of walking alone on campus.

"Let’s go." Zhou Shuyan had already stopped a taxi, parked at the roadside.

Zhou Shuyan took Lu Youxi’s luggage, and his other hand naturally took hers.

Lu Youxi was stunned for a moment, her hand stiffened from being held, yet she didn’t pull away.

Only when he held her hand did she realize how icy cold hers was.

She had scared herself on the way, chilling herself to the bone.

Lu Youxi surprisingly looked up at Zhou Shuyan’s profile, wondering if he had taken her hand because he knew it was cold.

But regardless, Lu Youxi had never thought about pulling away.

Even though she was quite surprised when he suddenly took hold of her hand, she didn’t instinctively pull away.

Zhou Shuyan seemed oblivious, walked to the taxi, and opened the door for Lu Youxi first.

Lu Youxi got in and sent a text to Lu Xiaohui, saying she wouldn’t be returning to the dorm that night.

Since the Lu Family lived in the Imperial Capital, Lu Xiaohui and the others thought Lu Youxi was staying at her own home and didn’t think much of it.

Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan returned to the Chengzhou Apartments.

In the afternoon, with Liu Yushu, Lu Zhenguo, and Lu Youxue there, the room was bustling and lively, so it didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

But now, as Lu Youxi followed Zhou Shuyan inside, it was just the two of them in the house.

Although it was much more spacious than Lu Youxi’s bedroom, she still felt uneasy about where to stand.

"When I was waiting for you at the Jing University entrance, I was thinking, why not leave a few clothes here?" Zhou Shuyan said.

This startled Lu Youxi, her voice pitched a little higher, "Why?"

"Don’t misunderstand." Zhou Shuyan hurriedly explained, "I’m worried that your parents might come over sometimes; they used to see you at home and wouldn’t worry. But now, in your parents’ eyes, we’ve moved out to live alone; they can’t help but feel uneasy, especially on weekends, they might want to check and see how we’re doing. If there are none of your things in the house, won’t that make them suspicious?"

Lu Youxi thought it made sense, especially since her mother was prone to overthinking.

"Then I’ll leave a few things here." Lu Youxi nodded.

Zhou Shuyan went to open the wardrobe; he hadn’t had a chance to see how the wardrobe here was arranged.

Opening it, he found that Yu Zeqin had been thorough, there were a few sets of his clothes inside, not many, fitting with his worker persona as not having much money to spend on clothing.

Zhou Shuyan pushed and squeezed the hanging clothes to make room, clearing out half the space, and said to Lu Youxi, "I’ve cleared half the space, you put yours here."

The wardrobe was on the second floor, right beside the bed.

When Lu Youxi came up, Zhou Shuyan was still there; standing together in front of the wardrobe, the space suddenly felt cramped.

A slight turn could make them bump into each other.

"There are bathrooms on both floors, you can take a shower in either," Zhou Shuyan said from beside her, "Which one will you use?"

Though he wasn’t standing close, the distance between them was perfectly normal and very gentlemanly.

Yet Lu Youxi strangely felt a warmth radiating from his body.

His woody fragrance lingered in the restricted space of the top floor, as if completely surrounding her.

Lu Youxi’s breathing became tentative, with every inhale filled with his scent, unavoidable.

"I’ll use the upstairs one." Lu Youxi thought it would be more convenient to use the upstairs bathroom since she was sleeping upstairs, and likewise for Zhou Shuyan.

"Okay," Zhou Shuyan nodded, "I’ll go downstairs then; you relax here."

Lu Youxi: "..."

Was her nervousness that obvious?

He had noticed it all.

Lu Youxi, holding her pajamas, went to the bathroom.

The small apartment’s bathroom wasn’t large, even smaller than the apartment she rented.

However, it was compact but complete, with everything necessary present.

Due to the small size, the shower and toilet were very close together, so a waterproof curtain had been added between them.

Next to the shower, two shelves were fixed to the wall, filled with toiletries.

The house might be small, but it was divided into two floors, and thinking she wouldn’t have to share the same bathroom with Zhou Shuyan, Lu Youxi felt much more relaxed.

She quickly washed up, dried her hair to about eighty percent, and went out.

"Are you done showering?" Zhou Shuyan was sitting on the sofa downstairs, the TV on, broadcasting some kind of evening show, vibrant with singing and dancing from the sound of it...

However, Zhou Shuyan was probably just listening for the noise because he had a book in his hand.

Lu Youxi hadn’t made out what book it was when she heard Zhou Shuyan’s question.

"Yeah," she responded.

"Can I go up?" Zhou Shuyan explained, "We only have one set of toiletries, which are in the upstairs bathroom."

After pausing for two seconds, Zhou Shuyan added, "I usually shower in the upstairs bathroom, so that’s where the toiletries are. The downstairs one is just for convenience when I’m in the living room."
