The young boy observed her and didn't answer her question.
Chuyi faintly laughs, "can't believe you're so young, and has some attitudes. Fine. Even if you don't tell me, I know what you are thinking. Let me tell you this. This is not how you should chase after a girl. Have you not seen how you scared my little sister? If you like her, I'll advise you not to put on that poker face anymore." Chuyi finished saying and rubs his head.
The boy faced furrows when Chuyi did that, but didn't say anything.
"I'm going to go now. Remember, don't bully her or else I don't mind changing her piano class elsewhere," Chuyi warned him with a smile and left the school.
After leaving, Chuyi decided to go to her local library to volunteer. She goes there whenever she's free, and right now, she hasn't found a job yet.
"Hello Ms. Chen," Chuyi says as she walks in the library and sees the old librarian.
"Chuyi, you came! What brings you here today," Ms. Chen says with a teasing tone.
Chuyi walks up to her, "of course I came here to volunteer!" she said with a laugh.
Ms. Chen laughs and shakes her head, "There's not much people today. And the library is going to be closed for four days.Why not go up and read your manga? There's a few in the last two weeks."
Chuyi's face brightens when she hears the word manga. "Really?! I'm going to go right now," she said happily and went up to the second floor.
She came to the manga aisle and quickly found the new manga series that Ms. Chen talked about. She took the two new volumes and found an empty area to read.
In less than 40 minutes, Chuyi finished reading her manga. She stood up and went to put it back where she found it.
Just as she puts back the manga, her phone buzzes.
Chuyi clicks on the new mail notifications,
<
It was an email from the company that she sent a resume to yesterday. Chuyi couldn't believe her eyes and also screamed out. It's one of the best marketing companies called CP.
Chuyi couldn't hold in her excitement and took out her phone to text Liu Sichun. As she texts her, Chuyi isn't watching where she is going and bumps into someone.
Her phone dropped and head bumped into that person's chest.
"I'm so sorry," Chuyi apologizes and looks up at the person.
Chuyi's eyes widened as she saw who it was, but quickly fixed her posture.
"Lu Wenzhou, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" Chuyi asks him.
"Still clumsy as usual. Next time watch where you're walking into," he says with a little worried tone.
Chuyi looks at him like a kid who did something wrong.
Lu Wenzhou is her brother's best friend, and she knew him since she could remember. But she never calls him 'gege.'
"Why are you here? Aren't you with my brother at that gaming conference meeting?" Chuyi asks him.
Lu Wenzhou and her brother, Lin Chuyu, opened a gaming company together. Why? Both of them like to play games. Not only that, Lu Wenzhou is making his own games too.
"We just came back, and I thought you would be here, so I came to see," Lu Wenzhou says and looks at her.
But Chuyi could only hear that her brother was back, "Where's my brother?"
Lu Wenzhou faintly smiles, "he's back at the company right now. But he should be coming back soon."
"Okay, I'm gonna go now," Chuyi says and picks up her phone on the floor.
But just as Lu WenZhou was about to tell her something, Chuyi tripped on her own legs and rolled down the stairs.
"OUCH!" Chuyi winces at her pain.
Lu Wenzhou quickly ran down to check on her.
"I'm going to call the ambulance," Ms. Chen says and quickly calls.
Lu Wenzhou looks at her and laughs, "what did I say before? Watch where you are walking. How could you be so clumsy and stupid?" he says to her.
Chuyi, who was in pain, sends some staggered eyes to him.
Two hours later,
After every examination, the doctor came out and told Chuyi's parents that she fractured her right arm and sprained her left ankle.
Once the nurse pushed Chuyi out, her whole family was there.
"Hi mom," Chuyi gives that dumb laugh that made her parents think that she might have injured her brain too.
"What should I say about you? Should I say that you're lucky or dumb?" her older brother, Lin Chuyu says as he slightly touches her head.
"I'm a patient. Plus, I was just a little too excited that I tripped and fell," she explains with embarrassment.
"What were you so excited about?" her parents asked her.
Chuyi told them about the interview, and the other happy thing is… She then looks at her brother. Chuyu knows what she wants, "I'm rethinking if I should give it to you or not now."
Chuyi gives him a glare, "if you don't give it to me, I will spill out what happened two weeks ago.." she threatens him.
As the two of them eye to eye with anger at one another, their dad cuts them off.
"Chuyi needs rest right now. Let's go home," he says. As their dad was about to push Chuyi's wheelchair, Lu Wenzhou took the handle before he did.
"Uncle Lin, I got it," he says with a smile.
Just as they get in the car, Chuyi just remembered that she has to go pick up Nanxi.
"What time is it?" she asks.
"It's almost 3. Why?" Lu Wenzhou asks.
"I need to go pickup Xixi."
"I told your aunt to go pick her already. You need to rest," her mom says.
"But-- I have to go. I need to make sure of something," Chuyi says and then looks at Lu WenZhou. At the end, with the help of Lu WenZhou, they drove to Nanxi's piano class school, while her parents and brother went back home first.
Lu Wenzhou helps Chuyi get on the wheelchair and waits for Nanxi to come out.
A few minutes later, Nanxi came out and the boy from earlier also followed.
"Chuyi Jiejie!" Nanxi ran up to her, but stopped after seeing her wounds. "Jiejie, what happened? Does it hurt?" Nanxi asks with worry.
Chuyi shakes her head, "it doesn't hurt."
Lu Wenzhou looks at her and wonders who was the girl that was screaming before.
"Lu Gege," Nanxi calls out to him.
Lu WenZhou smiles and picks up Nanxi.
Even though this time Chuyi came in a wheelchair, she still used the same eye look while staring at the young boy.
"Shen Nian, if you want, you can come over to play," Chuyi says and without giving a chance for the young boy to say, she told Lu WenZhou to push the wheelchair.
"Who's that boy?" Lu WenZhou asks as they get inside the car.
"Just a boy that likes Xixi,"Chuyi says with a smile and then looks over at Nanxi who has already fallen asleep.
Lu Wenzhou slightly shakes his head with a smile. 'Kiddo, when will you see that I like you too,' he thought with a sigh.
