Chapter 365: Chapter 365: The Light of Righteousness!
The door swung open, and as Lan Yu looked up at the scene inside the room, she was completely dumbfounded.
The tall and handso man was sitting in a chair with a deep, dark gaze, his large palm gripping the waist of a young girl. The young girl was straddling his thigh, her head tilted back, hands encircling his neck.
Her beautiful eyes were moist and glossy, as if brimming with liquid light. A flushed, intoxicating color spread across her face, and her lips were as red and enticing as roses waiting to be plucked—very tempting, very beautiful.
Both of their chests heaved violently, clearly struggling for breath.
What they had been doing before the door opened was obvious at a glance.
Seeing this scene, Lan Yu’s eyes suddenly widened, and she beca tongue-tied: “I, I, I didn’t an to interrupt!”
“Well then… maybe I should step out, and you and Shengsheng can continue!”
Lan Yu had only thought to look for Lu Sheng in the room and had forgotten that Li Muchen had also co to the house before.
If President Li had co, he’d surely be together with Shengsheng. How could she have forgotten, interrupting the sweet mont between the couple? It was practically sinful!
As she spoke, Lan Yu was about to close the door and leave when Lu Sheng got down from Li Muchen and called out to Lan Yu: “What’s up, Lan Yu? Is sothing the matter?”
And the mont she stepped down, Li Muchen took a deep breath and without changing his expression quickly grabbed the thin blanket beside the bed, covering his legs with it.
Fortunately, the place where he sat did not directly face the door, so it wasn’t too embarrassing.
“Actually, Shengsheng, I ca to tell you that Huo Yu woke up,” Lan Yu said, scratching her head.
“Moreover, about today’s party at your ho with classmates, they’ve prepared a gift for you. They told to tell you to co and open it.”
—Huo Yu woke up?
This was Lu Sheng’s first concern.
According to Ning Yu, Huo Yu indeed had felt unwell today, and had forced himself to attend the party.
He had been possessed by Ning Yu as soon as he arrived at the Lu Family. But Huo Yu wouldn’t have any mory of the ti he was possessed, and the events that occurred during that period would be a blank in his mind.
Already feeling unwell, and then being tornted by Ning Yu’s manipulation of his body, Lu Sheng was genuinely worried about Huo Yu’s safety.
So, after saying a word to Li Muchen, she headed straight for the door: “I’m going to check on him.”
The guest room.
The door was ajar, and just as Lu Sheng was about to knock, Huo Yu happened to be preparing to co out.
The mont the door opened, Lu Sheng’s outstretched hand paused mid-air, directly eting Huo Yu’s eyes.
Even though it was the sa body, Huo Yu’s gaze was completely different from Ning Yu’s.
Ning Yu’s eyes always carried a hint of danger and playfulness, while Huo Yu’s was always calm and restrained.
However, at this mont, Lu Sheng felt that the way Huo Yu looked at her was sowhat different from before. She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what had changed.
Of course, if she had been more attentive, she might have noticed Huo Yu’s eyes involuntarily stealing glances behind her ear, his face slightly flushed, his expression also not quite natural.
“Are you awake?” Lu Sheng asked Huo Yu, “Are you still feeling unwell? Do you rember what happened before you fainted?”
Lu Sheng asked this both out of concern for Huo Yu’s health and to confirm that he was indeed completely unaware of the prior events.
“I…” Huo Yu took a deep breath, shaking his head, “…don’t rember. It seems like ever since I arrived here, my head has just been foggy.”
“If you’re not feeling well, why force yourself to co over? You should be resting well at ho.” As she spoke, Lu Sheng stuffed sothing she was holding into Huo Yu’s hand.
The mont their hands touched, Huo Yu felt the skin where they touched turn hot, his heartbeat suddenly quickening.
Looking at the object in his palm, it was a small glass vial containing so black pills.
Huo Yu paused, “This is…”
“I see that your health isn’t very good either.”
Lu Sheng looked at Huo Yu, “You’re feeling unwell today, and you also had a fever the day of the equestrian class. It’s probably because you live alone and eat too haphazardly, and you often stay up late.”
“A while ago, I made so dicinal pills to regulate the body for Fourth Brother, and after taking them for several months, he’s beco much healthier. Take these pills back with you and eat one a day.”
“But while taking dicine to regulate is one thing, if you really want to improve your physical condition, you still need to eat properly and avoid staying up late.”
“If you can’t cook, it’s better to hire soone to cook for you when you’re not in school, rather than having instant noodles for every al.”
Lu Sheng seldom asks about other people’s family circumstances, as these are private matters.
So even though she and Huo Yu are trusted friends, she has never visited Huo Yu’s residence, only knowing that he has always lived alone in a rental room.
It seems he has no parents. Whether his parents have passed away or there is so other reason, she does not know.
However, Lu Sheng also knows that Huo Yu is definitely not without money. By his worth, just picking up a job on the Dark Web is worth tens if not hundreds of millions.
Huo Yu always gives her the impression of being like a floating weed in the mortal world. Because he’s solitary and nobody cares, he’s casual and doesn’t take caring for himself seriously.
Huo Yu stared at the small dicine bottle for several seconds.
This feeling of being cared for was foreign to him, but the joy and happiness surged into his heart along with a bittersweet sensation.
It felt like sothing within reach was right before his eyes, but it didn’t belong to him, so he never had the chance to reach out for it.
If it had been in the elevator…
If Li Muchen had shown any aversion or rejection after learning her real identity, he would have definitely tried to take so initiative.
But Li Muchen didn’t.
He felt sad, yet also breathed a sigh of relief and was happy for her.
Being friends is fine; at least he can always rightfully stay by her side, becoming soone she trusts and can turn to for help. For him, that’s enough.
“Lan Yu ntioned they prepared a gift for in the living room, let’s go have a look together,” Lu Sheng said.
“…Okay.” Huo Yu nodded.
The two went to the living room and sure enough, everyone who ca to the party tonight was gathered, chatting happily around the long table.
Seeing Lu Sheng arrive, everyone warmly made space, revealing the blue gift box tied with a red ribbon on the table.
The gift box, with its wrapping, looked like a cake and was quite large, probably just enough for so many people.
“Is this a cake?” Lu Sheng asked.
“Yes, we had it custom-made today,” Teng Yue said, excitedly pulling Lu Sheng toward the cake and gesturing for her to untie the ribbon on the gift box.
Lu Sheng pulled on the ribbon, and the cake box unfolded. The image on the cake surprised even her.
The top layer of the cake seed to be made of chocolate figures—it was clearly Jiang Yusheng tied to a chair, and even featured a bruised and beaten version of him.
Lu Sheng had to admit, her classmates were indeed very creative.
“Co on, Lu Sheng, you do the honors of the first cut, it’s like a way to ward off bad luck~”
Teng Yue handed her the cake knife, adding with concern, “Rember to make the first cut across the head, it’s more satisfying that way!”
anwhile, Chen Li placed a cake hat on Lu Sheng’s head, with the words “The Light of Justice” emblazoned on it, especially eye-catching.
