PPS Chapter 46

Chu Zhaoyi rubbed his sleepy eyes and stood up, slinging his packed messenger bag over his shoulder.

He used to use a backpack, but he found it inconvenient to take things out sometimes, and he would often forget his backpack after taking things out.

So Gu Yusen simply got him a messenger bag.

It looked quite cute on him.

Professor Qin couldn’t watch him twenty-four hours a day. Most of the time, he would assign a task, occasionally come over to check and give guidance, and then leave. After all, he was a professor and very busy.

Therefore, by ten o’clock in the evening, almost only his room in this building had lights on. The cleaning lady responsible for turning off the lights had already come to urge him.

Dark and cavernous.

Chu Zhaoyi was a little puzzled. Usually, Brother Sanmu would show up at the door around this time. Sometimes, he would come early and, seeing that he wasn’t finished yet, would find a place to sit and play games on his phone, occasionally impatiently scolding him to hurry up.

Why hadn’t he seen anyone today?

Chu Zhaoyi took out his phone and saw a message from Gu Yusen sent two minutes ago: At the East Gate, not coming up.

His emotional perception was very sensitive. He scrolled through their chat history and found that Brother Sanmu hadn’t sent him any messages almost all day. Usually, there were always some scattered words throughout the day.

Moreover, this only message today conveyed a sense of indifference.

Chu Zhaoyi gently closed the slightly heavy door of the studio and turned to walk into the long corridor of the teaching building. The surroundings were so quiet that he could only hear the echo of his own footsteps. The teaching building had voice-activated lights. He walked quietly, allowing the menacing darkness to engulf his body.

So dark.

These two words appeared in Chu Zhaoyi’s mind. After walking for a while, he realized that this door was locked and he needed to find another door to exit.

He pouted unhappily, staring at the dark night sky, standing there blankly for a long time.

“Tsk, Chu Zhaoyi! What are you doing!”

A familiar voice suddenly rang out from the other end of the corridor, always with a hint of impatience in its tone, always saying that he was difficult to serve, yet gradually making him better and better.

Accompanied by Gu Yusen’s voice, the originally silent voice-activated lights seemed to be activated instantly, lighting up one after another like a string of pearls, sweeping away the surrounding darkness.

Chu Zhaoyi felt a little dazzled and subconsciously raised his hand to block the light, seeing the familiar figure at the other end of the corridor.

Bad-tempered, looking angry.

Standing there with his arms crossed, looking at him.

From a distance, Chu Zhaoyi couldn’t see Gu Yusen’s expression, but he was sure that Gu Yusen’s brows were furrowed.

Like a little old man, always frowning.

“Brother Sanmu,” Chu Zhaoyi’s voice was soft, his originally somewhat empty gaze slowly focusing on Gu Yusen. He gripped the strap of his messenger bag and walked forward slowly.

However, as the distance between him and Gu Yusen gradually shortened, Chu Zhaoyi’s pace involuntarily quickened, as if an invisible force was pushing him forward. Chu Zhaoyi walked faster and faster, almost running in the corridor.

Chu Zhaoyi was physically weak and didn’t usually do much exercise, getting out of breath even when climbing stairs. Suddenly running startled Gu Yusen, and the alcohol-occupied brain instantly cleared.

“Walk slower! What’s the rush!”

Chu Zhaoyi seemed not to hear, rushing towards Gu Yusen in an almost out-of-control manner. His figure drew an arc in the light, and then, he completely

Threw himself into Gu Yusen’s arms.

Gu Yusen winced from the impact, and before he could say anything, he heard Chu Zhaoyi’s voice in his ear.

“Brother Sanmu…”

Like an abandoned stray cat, finally receiving a little affection, feeling wronged and wanting more.
