Chapter 81.14: Chi Lu x Bo Yu (14)

……

When Bo Yu woke up, Chi Lu was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room.

He froze for a moment and looked at her in surprise, “Why up so early?”

Chi Lu nodded, raised her eyes to look at him, “Bo Yu.”

“Hmm?”

Bo Yu walked over and sat next to her, “What do you want to eat this morning?”

Chi Lu was silent for a while, pursed her lips and said, “You decide.”

Bo Yu nodded, “Okay.”

He got up and walked to the kitchen, looked at the refrigerator, and turned to look at her, “What about dumplings?”

“…Yes.”

Chi Lu laughed, and said softly, “Okay.”

She stared at the Bo Yu’s back, and her thought wandered.

Chi Lu reached out to take her phone, feeling a little casual.

Coincidentally, her phone vibrated, which was a message sent by Chen Xinyu in the group chat.

After chatting with them for a few words, Chi Lu typed the next sentence: [Ah.]

Chen Xinyu: [???]

Ji Qingying: [Ah??]

Chi Lu: [Don’t know, just want to say ah badly.]

Ji Qingying, [How’s your conversation with Mr. Bo?]

Chi Lu: [Haven’t talked about it yet.]

Chen Xinyu: [You must have slept with him then.]

Chi Lu: [We didn’t.]

The two of them sent her a series of question marks at the same time.

Chi Lu found it funny but she was also speechless. She rolled her eyes, and typed: [I’ll tell you girls later. I’m going back after breakfast.]

She put down her phone and walked towards the kitchen.

“Do you need help?”

Bo Yu glanced at her, and paused after seeing her slightly swollen eyes. He turned around and opened the refrigerator, and took out a popsicle.

Chi Lu raised her eyebrows, “You want me to eat popsicles early in the morning?”

Bo Yu stared at her twice, then said as if with a silent sigh, “Place it on your eyes.”

“……”

Chi Lu nodded awkwardly, then took it, “Thank you.”

Bo Yu watched her movement, but he said nothing.

Chi Lu’s eyes wandered casually, without seriousness.

When Bo Yu finished cooking the dumplings, she hadn't finished yet.

“Should I help you?”

“Not eating first?”

“Then I’ll help you after we eat.”

“Okay.”

The two sat facing each other, Chi Lu looked at the dumpling in front of her, trying to say something.

“Why do you eat frozen dumplings now?”

If she remembered correctly, Bo Yu was very picky about food. When the two of them were still together, he would always force her to make dumplings together.

Although in the end he made twenty and Chi Lu only made one, he was still quite pleased.

Bo Yu’s hand, which was holding the chopsticks paused, then he looked at her, “It’s not fun when making it alone.”

Chi Lu paused, and lowered her eyes, “Oh.”

The two finished eating in silence.

Chi Lu tried to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Bo Yu.

“Come here, I’ll help you compress your eyes.”

Chi Lu followed and leaned over.

She looked at the man in front of her, and was distracted for a moment.

“You——”

Bo Yu didn’t ask her why her eyes were like this, he got up, went to the refrigerator and took out another popsicle, and helped to compress her eyes.

His movements were gentle, much softer than expected.

Chi Lu subconsciously closed her eyes and let him help her.

After her eyes compressed properly, Bo Yu wanted to get up and leave. However, Chi Lu pulled him back without even thinking about it.

He lowered his head, and their eyes met.

Chi Lu opened her mouth, looked at him and said, “Your parents, do they know that I’m back?”

Bo Yu pulled her up, and casually asked, “Whether you come back or not, what does it have to do with them?”

Chi Lu listened, feeling vaguely that something was wrong.

“You——”

She pursed her lower lip, “They didn't ask you?”

Bo Yu tilted his head, and said with a gentle smile, “If they asked, do I have to tell them?”

Chi Lu frowned, feeling that Bo Yu’s tone was off.

She stared at him, “Did you argue with them?”

“I didn’t.”

Bo Yu said, “Last time when I picked up their call, it was an accident.”

Chi Lu was surprised, and waiting for his next sentence.

Bo Yu said calmly, “They called me using an unfamiliar number, and I answered without paying much attention.”

Chi Lu vaguely had some guesses in her heart, “You… blocked them?”

Bo Yu shook his head, “No, they are the ones who blocked me.”

“……”

These words made no sense at all.

Chi Lu didn’t believe it at all. She knew how much those two valued him, how could they be willing to block him.

She frowned and looked at him in disbelief, “Are you sure?”

“Yeah.” Bo Yu threw the popsicles into the trash can, turned around and went into the kitchen. He poured out two glasses of water, and handed one to her, “Do you want to rest for a bit more?”

Chi Lu held the cup and looked at him, “Now you and them——”

Before the next words came out, Bo Yu spoke first.

“If you're worried about them, it’s totally unnecessary.”

He lowered his head took a sip of water, and said lightly, “I have no relationship with them.”
