Chapter 74: Not Eating Is a Waste

For two consecutive mornings, Yu Zhanrong was dragged out for a morning run by Song Baiyan. The thought of returning to school soon filled him with a sense of relief.

Although these two morning runs weren’t as tiring as he’d imagined, the feeling of sore muscles still made him not want to move.

Now he could finally end this sweet burden legitimately. He really wasn’t cut out for exercise. Every time he ran, Song Baiyan ended up dragging him home.

After the Monday morning run, Yu Zhanrong went home for a shower, slung his bag over his shoulder, and went out, eager to return to school. He had never been so eager before.

As soon as he opened the door, Song Baiyan was already waiting outside. He leaned against the wall, head down, focused on swiping his phone screen, one hand naturally hanging down, his slender index finger hooked around a bag containing breakfast.

Yu Zhanrong suspiciously checked the time. Had he taken too long in the shower?

How could they be leaving at the same time, and Song Baiyan not only got breakfast but also had time to wait for him?

Hearing the door open, Song Baiyan leisurely looked up, simultaneously turning off his phone screen and skillfully putting it back in his pocket. Then, he held out the things in his hand to Yu Zhanrong.

With yesterday’s experience, Yu Zhanrong already assumed this was breakfast for him. He naturally reached out to take it and politely thanked him, “Thank you, Senior Brother. Did you wait long?”

Song Baiyan watched his natural movements, his eyebrows twitched, “Didn’t wait long.”

It’s so cold waiting in the hallway.

“Senior Brother,” Yu Zhanrong fidgeted with the edge of the breakfast bag, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered the courage to say, “Um, it’s pretty cold in the hallway, you…”

Song Baiyan raised an eyebrow slightly, “Hmm?”

“Cough, well, my home password is 102233, you know it, right? Next time, you can just go in directly, don’t freeze outside.”

This was undoubtedly a very obvious invitation. After saying these words, Yu Zhanrong couldn’t help but feel nervous inside.

Was he being too proactive? Inviting him home so directly, was it too…

Thinking of this, Yu Zhanrong couldn’t help but secretly look up at Song Baiyan standing in front of him.

“Got it.”

Suddenly, his head was ruffled, interrupting his random thoughts. Yu Zhanrong subconsciously blinked.

The two entered the elevator together. As the elevator doors slowly closed, they went down to the underground garage. Yu Zhanrong followed behind Song Baiyan, silently thinking,

Would it be too high-profile if Senior Brother drove him to school?

Would it end up on the school forum again? There have been quite a few posts of him and Song Baiyan together recently. He couldn’t help but start to wonder himself.

As if seeing what he was thinking, Song Baiyan explained, “I have some errands to run later, so I’m just dropping you off at school on the way.”

“Oh, oh.”

Actually, he could go to school himself, but he didn’t say anything.

Yu Zhanrong comfortably sat in the passenger seat, sighing: It’s still more comfortable to hitch a ride.

Having just exercised in the morning, Yu Zhanrong drank some water but didn’t eat anything else, his stomach empty.

The breakfast in his arms smelled delicious, making his stomach growl. Yu Zhanrong couldn’t help but lick his lips.

So hungry, really want to eat.

But wouldn’t it be impolite to eat in someone else’s car? He had never eaten in Song Baiyan’s car before.

“Um…”

“Hmm? What’s wrong?” Song Baiyan seemingly inadvertently turned his head, but the corner of his eye had already seen Yu Zhanrong’s little movements clearly. A sly look flashed quickly in his eyes.

“Can I eat in your car?” Yu Zhanrong lifted the breakfast and shook it to show him.

Song Baiyan suppressed his laughter, deliberately drawing out his voice slowly, “Um… that’s my… breakfast.”

??!!

“Then why did you give it to me?!”

Yu Zhanrong’s pupils instantly dilated, his golden hair seemed to stand on end, as if he was about to jump up and beat someone up in the next second. He looked incredibly lively, no longer the well-behaved and quiet one.

Song Baiyan calmly explained, “I just asked you to hold it for me.” His tone was as calm as water, but it felt like boiling water in Yu Zhanrong’s ears.

Why didn’t he explain when he thanked him just now? Why say this now?

At this moment, in this situation, Yu Zhanrong wished he could give Song Baiyan a slam dunk. Still pretending to be good? Good my foot!

Yu Zhanrong tightly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

To think you were helping hold it!

Making you assume things,!

So embarrassing!!

Huff…

Song Baiyan had watched enough of the show, and seeing that he had really made the person angry, he quickly said, “Just kidding, it’s for you.”

Yu Zhanrong: “…?!”

All his efforts for so long collapsed in a second.

Song Baiyan! Are you crazy? Damn it!

It was his last bit of self-preservation that barely stopped Yu Zhanrong, otherwise, he would have smashed the breakfast into Song Baiyan’s face.

This person is his Senior Brother, a Senior Brother he has admired for many years. Yu Xiaorong, you must respect the old and love the young, don’t let yourself go too much.

Restraint!

You must restrain yourself!

“Food offered with contempt, I won’t eat it.”

Yu Zhanrong folded his arms and turned his head to look out the window, deliberately moving closer to the car door, as if that would put him farther away from the annoying person in front of him.

Trying to ignore the constant growling of his stomach, he didn’t even glance at the breakfast so close at hand.

On the other side, Song Baiyan coughed upon seeing his appearance, then tried hard to hold back his laughter, “Hey, don’t be like that. I knew you wouldn’t have time for breakfast, so I specifically brought it for you. Don’t be angry.”

Do you think I’ll believe that?

Yu Zhanrong ignored him, even giving him a roll of his eyes, and moved even closer to the car door.

Don’t even think about using your charm to seduce him. He wouldn’t fall for it this time.

Seeing this situation, Song Baiyan freed a hand to pat his ruffled golden hair, gently coaxing, “Alright, alright, don’t be angry. Senior Brother was just joking with you, don’t be mad at Senior Brother, okay?”

“Hurry up and eat it while it’s hot. And if you don’t eat it, wouldn’t you have gotten angry for nothing?”

Yu Zhanrong: “…”

It seemed… maybe there was a point.

In that case, he should just fill his stomach first.

As the saying goes, not taking advantage of a good deal makes you an idiot!

Yu Zhanrong shook his head to shake off Song Baiyan’s hand, humming and venting like a deflated balloon, tearing open the bag and taking a big bite, as if he was biting Song Baiyan’s arm.

Seeing Yu Zhanrong using the breakfast as a way to vent at him, Song Baiyan pursed his lips and smiled, then received a glare.

That look seemed to say: Still smiling? Smile again and I’ll come over and bite you!

Song Baiyan’s throat bobbed at that seemingly fierce look. He touched the side of his neck with one hand, suddenly wanting to try it out.

Just as he was about to say something, a rather emotionless sentence floated over from the side: “This Senior Brother comrade, please keep both hands on the steering wheel while driving, okay? Safety first.”

Song Baiyan: “…”
