PPS Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Breakfast

Chu Zhaoyi was disturbed awake by Gu Yusen early in the morning. He unhappily washed up, a rare trace of faint grievance appearing on his usually expressionless face.

Gu Yusen, relentlessly, was next to Chu Zhaoyi, yakking away with a little notebook in hand.

“You have the first class this morning, then another first class in the afternoon, two classes total. After class, take your painting to Professor Li and have him take a look. If he gives you any assignments, you have to listen. Then, at noon, go to the first cafeteria, I’ll be waiting for you there. I’ll get food from Xianpin Pavilion, and we’ll eat together in the cafeteria.”

“After eating, go back to the dormitory and rest for a while. After class in the afternoon, come to the research lab to find me, I’ll take you home.”

“Did you hear me clearly?”

Chu Zhaoyi blinked, biting his toothbrush.

His face was innocent.

Gu Yusen looked over suspiciously.

He noticed that the young man wasn’t wearing a hearing aid in his left ear.

“Chu Zhaoyi!! Did everything I just said go in one ear and out the other?!!!”

Chu Zhaoyi had Gu Yusen’s crossbody bag on his shoulder, and the clothes he was wearing were also handed to him by Gu Yusen, different from yesterday’s.

Recently, Gu Yusen had become fond of playing the “Miracle Zhaoyi” little dress-up game.

Chu Zhaoyi was an obedient model, letting Gu Yusen gesture on his body, deciding which necklace or small accessories to match.

Gu Yusen watched the brightest star in the whole school walk into the classroom and smiled with relief.

Zhang Haoyu immediately saw the red-haired roommate appear at the door and quickly stood up and waved.

Although he had already seen Chu Zhaoyi’s captivating face yesterday, he was still hit by a beauty bomb today. He didn’t know what Chu Zhaoyi ate, but his skin was glowing white, appearing particularly translucent in the sunlight.

The classroom was silent for a moment.

Chu Zhaoyi saw Zhang Haoyu’s position and slowly walked over. Zhang Haoyu was a very helpful classmate. Ever since Gu Yusen told him to help take care of his younger brother, he had subconsciously wanted to take care of this beautiful-looking young man.

Mainly, Chu Zhaoyi gave people a feeling of being very… fragile, instinctively making people want to protect him, but every time he met his emotionless black eyes, he inexplicably felt a sense of fear of gazing into the abyss…

“Good morning, Xiao Chu.”

Chu Zhaoyi glanced at Zhang Haoyu, thinking of how Gu Yusen had grabbed his ear this morning and told him to be polite, so he had to speak, “Good morning.”

Zhang Haoyu roughly understood Chu Zhaoyi’s personality, that he didn’t like to talk to people. He didn’t expect to get a response, and was a little flattered.

Chu Zhaoyi touched his crossbody bag, took out three breakfasts and placed them on the table, pushing them towards Zhang Haoyu, all prepared by Gu Yusen.

Zhang Haoyu: “?”

“Are you giving these to us?” This wasn’t just a matter of being flattered anymore.

So Chu Zhaoyi looked cold, but in reality, he was so enthusiastic.

“Mhm,” Chu Zhaoyi took out his book from the crossbody bag and placed it on the table. He thought Zhang Haoyu was stupid, was his meaning not obvious enough?

Zhang Haoyu wasn’t stupid, he just couldn’t believe it, sob sob sob.

With tears in his eyes, he divided two portions and handed them to Li Yu and Xie Haoran: “Xiao Chu brought breakfast.”

Li Yu didn’t refuse, saying “Thank you Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu is so nice, I’m starving, just didn’t have breakfast.”

But in his mind he was thinking: Someone who doesn’t have any relationship with the Gu family, wanting to use these small favors to buy them off? He must be crazy.

Chu Zhaoyi’s gaze fell on Li Yu. He was very sensitive to people’s emotions and could naturally feel Li Yu’s inexplicable hostility.

Xie Haoran directly refused, but his face remained amiable.

“Sorry, Xiao Chu, I already ate breakfast. I won’t be attending this class. I already asked for leave. Professor Li Ze asked me to go over there.” After saying that, he stood up and left.

Chu Zhaoyi watched Xie Haoran’s departing figure and glanced at Zhang Haoyu, who was happily eating.

Next time, he’ll just bring one portion.
