Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Zhou Shuyan suddenly bowed her head just as she finished speaking

Lu Youxi sighed, just hoping that if Zhou Shuyan wasn’t at school today, she could fall asleep.

"Mom, Dad, we’re leaving." After breakfast, Zhou Shuyan said goodbye to Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu with a smile and left the house with Lu Youxi.

Once the door was closed, Liu Yushu spoke to Lu Zhenguo in surprise, "What good thing happened to these kids? Why is Xiao Zhou looking so happy today, and his complexion is particularly good?"

"I don’t know," Lu Zhenguo shook his head. "As long as the kids are happy, that’s good enough."

Unable to figure it out, they decided not to dwell on it.

Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi entered the subway station.

Seeing Zhou Shuyan standing with her waiting for the subway, Lu Youxi couldn’t help but ask, "You shouldn’t be taking the subway in this direction, should you?"

"I’m taking you to school first," Zhou Shuyan said.

"Wouldn’t you be late for work then?"

"I left home early today, so I’ll have enough time to drop you at school before going to the company," Zhou Shuyan explained.

After thinking it over, Lu Youxi said, "Actually, you don’t have to take me. Didn’t we each go our own way before?"

"That was different," Zhou Shuyan casually took Lu Youxi’s hand. "Today is different."

Lu Youxi fell silent.

She understood what Zhou Shuyan meant.

Today was different.

In the past, they hadn’t made things clear.

But today was, presumably, their first day truly together.

With that thought, she felt Zhou Shuyan’s grip on her hand tighten.

Lu Youxi couldn’t resist looking up and saw Zhou Shuyan’s mouth curled up, his mood seemingly very good.

She now had heavy dark circles under her eyes, but looking at Zhou Shuyan, his complexion was great, showing no signs of fatigue.

Lu Youxi couldn’t help but ask, "Did you have a good night’s sleep last night?"

"No, I didn’t sleep at all last night," Zhou Shuyan replied.

Lu Youxi: "..."

Lying through his teeth?

Who would have such a good complexion without sleeping all night?

"When work gets busy, pulling all-nighters is common, so I am used to it," Zhou Shuyan explained.

Lu Youxi averted her eyes, deciding to believe him for the time being.

It was the morning rush hour, and the subway was always packed at this time.

It wasn’t just difficult to find a seat; even standing steady was a struggle.

The car was packed, with passengers crammed chest to back.

Lu Youxi was used to this, but today was different.

Somehow Zhou Shuyan had positioned himself behind and to the side of her. It was convenient for her to turn her head to see him and talk to him without him standing directly behind her, so as not to accidentally invade her space.

Zhou Shuyan’s left arm extended from behind her to hold onto the subway handrail, which also shielded her from the crowd pushing from behind.

Lu Youxi found that this morning’s subway ride, which she had taken so many times, had never been as relaxed as today.

The space around her was comfortable with no one pushing towards her, all kept at bay by Zhou Shuyan.

Lu Youxi couldn’t help but look up at Zhou Shuyan’s left hand holding onto the handrail.

There were straps on the rail that people could hold onto.

But Zhou Shuyan seemed to think the straps were too mobile and not as stable as holding the rail.

He was tall and had long arms, so holding the upper rail seemed effortless.

Lu Youxi saw his left hand grasping the rail, holding firm.

The raised veins were visible on the back of his hand.

All to block the cramped crowds from her.

A warm current flowed slowly through Lu Youxi’s heart, and she turned to look at Zhou Shuyan, her mouth curling up involuntarily.

Zhou Shuyan raised his eyebrows slightly. Why was this girl suddenly smiling so sweetly, as if she was very pleased with him?

However, as they passed the stations congested with commuters, more people got off.

Although people still entered the train behind them, it was much less hectic than before.

Lu Youxi then told Zhou Shuyan, "You can let go now; not many will be getting on behind us."

She knew the patterns at this time very well, having ridden the subway countless times.

Zhou Shuyan realized that Lu Youxi’s satisfied smile must have been in appreciation of his attentiveness in protecting her.

Zhou Shuyan smiled faintly and released his hand.

They reached their stop and exited the subway.

Zhou Shuyan accompanied Lu Youxi all the way to the Jing University entrance.

Most Jing University students lived on the campus, and only a few local students from the Imperial Capital occasionally went home.

Thus, at this time, there were not many students at the entrance, just a few here and there.

Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan arriving at the entrance didn’t draw much attention.

Lu Youxi checked the time; it was 8 o’clock. Zhou Shuyan would probably not be late if he left for his company now.

She breathed a sigh of relief but still urged him, "You should hurry to the company. Don’t be late."

Zhou Shuyan thought it wouldn’t matter if he was late.

He was still holding Lu Youxi’s hand and was reluctant to let go.

"I need to go inside," Lu Youxi reminded him.

Only then did Zhou Shuyan release her hand, "Go ahead."

Lu Youxi’s face felt warm. Just turning around and leaving felt hard to do.

After all, Zhou Shuyan’s face was so handsome, she never tired of looking at it.

It felt like a loss not taking a second look.

But she hadn’t adapted yet and felt somewhat shy to keep looking at him.

So she just glanced up at him quickly.

Zhou Shuyan even doubted Lu Youxi had managed to get a clear look at his face.

He hadn’t had time to get a good look at Lu Youxi before she turned to enter the school gates.

Suddenly, Zhou Shuyan thought of something, quickly reached out to grasp her wrist, and pulled Lu Youxi back to him.

"What are you doing?" Lu Youxi, surprised, was yanked back by him.

Zhou Shuyan didn’t reply, but as soon as she spoke, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.

Lu Youxi hadn’t anticipated Zhou Shuyan would do such a thing. Initially, her eyes widened in shock, but soon she spun into a daze from his kiss, her eyes closing involuntarily as her eyelashes fluttered.

Zhou Shuyan let go of her wrist at some point, instead enveloping her entirely in his arms.

Lu Youxi even forgot where she was, her hands grasping nervously at Zhou Shuyan’s suit jacket.

Since she had woken up, Lu Youxi found it hard to look at Zhou Shuyan’s lips.

The room was too dark last night; she hadn’t seen them clearly.

In the morning, when she could see them clearly, she was even more hesitant.

A single glance reminded her of the sensation of Zhou Shuyan’s kiss.

Her face, lips, her entire body felt hot at the thought.

Now, Lu Youxi trembled all over, feeling as if she were in a furnace.

She had never experienced this sensation before; being kissed by Zhou Shuyan was too new and too intense for her—the fierce and burning beat of her heart felt as though it could leap out at any moment.

Though not many students were around the school entrance at this time, people still passed by in twos and threes.

Lin Jingshen was driving to class.

He was now living on his own, not at home, as he found home too confining.

Every day, he drove his flashy Porsche to school.
