CHAPTER 615: CHAPTER 615 LU CHENYU

"Don’t try to pull that ’let’s be friends’ crap on me. I might not believe you, nor would anyone with half a brain. I’m rushing home for dinner and don’t have time to waste on you. If you have anything to say, just spit it out and don’t mess around," Lin Mengyao said.

"Why don’t you believe me? Every word I just said is sincere. I genuinely want to get along with you," Lu Chenyu persisted stubbornly.

But at this moment, Yu Xia’s patience had completely run out.

She straightforwardly extended her hand to fiercely push away the person in front of her, but her strength was too weak. Instead of pushing him away, she ended up pushing herself back. If not for a classmate behind her catching her, Yu Xia might have fallen to the ground.

"Are you okay? Why are you so careless? You know your body is weak, so don’t do strenuous things. What if you tire yourself out?" Lu Chenyu reached out to Yu Xia, trying to take her from her classmate’s hold while blabbering nonstop. "Please don’t throw a tantrum with me, okay?"

Lu Chenyu’s demeanor was very deceptive, at least the classmate holding Yu Xia believed he meant no harm to her and was about to hand Yu Xia over to him. However, Yu Xia deftly dodged away.

The classmate awkwardly stood there with empty hands, realizing something was off between the two.

Yu Xia realized that communicating with someone like Lu Chenyu was futile. He couldn’t understand human language, or rather, he simply refused to. He was completely engrossed in his own world, ignoring everything outside, much like a lunatic.

Yu Xia didn’t want to waste another word on Lu Chenyu.

Taking out her phone, she thought for a moment before calling Xu Ke, "Brother-in-law, can you come pick me up? That man who came to our house yesterday is blocking me outside the school, and I can’t go home," Yu Xia said.

Xu Ke, who was in a meeting, suddenly frowned, his sudden serious expression turning the face of the person reporting to him pale, thinking they had made a mistake.

"Get back into the school and find a place to stay. I’ll come right over," Xu Ke said, throwing the pen in his hand onto the table.

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, Yu Xia gave a light "uh-huh." Even while on the phone, her dark pupils remained fixed on Lu Chenyu. The moment he took a step forward, she would turn and run away. Fortunately, during her call, Lu Chenyu didn’t make any inappropriate moves, just stared at Yu Xia with a disgustingly sticky gaze.

"You don’t need to be so guarded against me. I just want to be friends, really. I have no ill intentions. You have to believe me," Lu Chenyu said with a forced smile, holding a rose.

"Do you think I would believe your bullshit? You know better than I what your family is like, don’t you? Let me reiterate, I have no interest in interacting with you. I’ve already called my brother-in-law to come pick me up. If you dare to bother me again, I’ll have him talk to you," Yu Xia said.

"Do you have to be so heartless?" Lu Chenyu’s expression turned solemn when Yu Xia mentioned her brother-in-law, recalling the sight of Xu Ke from that day, looking at Yu Xia as if she had done something unforgivable to him.

This attitude was enough to disgust Yu Xia to the point of nausea.

Yu Xia completely dismissed the idea of speaking with him. Taking advantage of Lu Chenyu being off guard, she turned and ran into the campus.

Luckily, Yu Xia was close enough to the school gate, otherwise, she might have run out of energy before making it inside.

Though it was a mere hundred meters, Yu Xia was drenched in sweat, her vision blurry, and her fair face flushed with an unnatural red, like a painted peach blossom, giving her a strangely alluring, almost sickly beauty.

Yu Xia pressed a hand against her rapidly beating heart, turning to look at Lu Chenyu, who was being blocked by the security at the gate, her expression icy.

"Did running so fast just make you feel unwell? You shouldn’t be damaging your body on my account. I know a great traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Someday, I’ll introduce you to him and let him check your health," Lu Chenyu said with concern through the iron gate.

"Are you still not leaving?" Yu Xia asked expressionlessly.

"I’ll leave only when I’m certain you’re alright."

"My brother-in-law will be here soon. What do you think he’ll do if he sees you clinging to the school’s gate staring at me?" Yu Xia’s face broke into a harmless-looking smile, enhanced by a hint of crimson at the corner of her eyes, transforming her into a tantalizing mix of innocence and provocation.

Lu Chenyu got lost in her gaze once again, a burning resolve igniting in his eyes, stirring an immense ambition within him.

Back in his youth, countless people had tried to bully him, to stand in the way of his love, but they’d all ended up defeated, begging for mercy. If he could achieve it back then, why not now with some experience under his belt? He believed he could!

"Don’t worry, I’m not afraid of him. No one can separate us," Lu Chenyu said, looking at Yu Xia with deep affection. "Trust me, even though I’m in a weak position now, I will one day achieve more than Xu Ke. I will get rid of everyone trying to keep us apart and give you happiness."

Yu Xia had no idea what fantasies Lu Chenyu had conjured up, but just by looking at his expression, she was convinced there was something wrong with his mind.

Ignoring Lu Chenyu’s shouts behind her, Yu Xia slung her small backpack over her shoulder and obediently walked towards the security office. She decided to wait there for Xu Ke to pick her up; the lunatic outside was now her brother-in-law’s problem, and she had no burden of guilt thinking about it.

After hanging up, Xu Ke hastily wrapped up the meeting and drove towards Yu Xia’s school.

Xu Ke arrived fairly quickly; if Lu Chenyu had left a bit later, they would’ve certainly crossed paths.

"Are you okay? Where is he?" Xu Ke, worried the entire way, finally took a relieved breath upon seeing Yu Xia unharmed coming out of school.

"I’m fine, he just left," Yu Xia replied.

"He didn’t do anything to you?" Xu Ke asked, his brows furrowed with a serious expression.

"No, but he said some rather revolting things. I’m afraid he’ll come looking for me again. Also, many people overheard what he said at the school gate. I’m worried there will be gossip about me at school," Yu Xia said worriedly, her brow furrowed like a beaten eggplant.
