Bite Your Fingertips

new recruits hadn’t produced results from their training yet, and one person was like a wisp of smoke, none of them could be used.
Reportedly, someone had seen Brother Lie approach Lu Shi.
He had probably wanted to ask Lu Shi to get in the car and help him race a course, but Lu Shi had refused.

Wei Guanglei thought that because his Lu-Ge had rejected it last time, there must be no room for a turnaround this time.
He didn’t expect Lu Shi to merely say, “Wait, I’ll think about it.”

He didn’t give a definite answer, it was a sign that it could be discussed.

Brother Lie immediately raised his voice.
“As expected of Laozi’s good brother! Good good good, no matter whether you are on it or not in the end, Brother will take your piece of affection!”

After the call was hung up, Wei Guanglei sat on the high stool and hurriedly asked, “Lu-Ge, didn’t you refuse it before, why did you want to go on the race track again this time?”

Lu Shi threw away the phone and didn’t answer, but the gloom in his eyes became two points heavier.

Wei Guanglei pondered for a while before carefully probing, “Where’s the young master? Today… why didn’t you come here together?”

Lu Shi’s hand changed the magazine.
His eyes weren’t lifted, but the line of his lower jaw tightened a bit.
“You’re too noisy.”

Wei Guanglei covered his mouth and quickly shut up.

Understood, this was ninety-nine percent likely a quarrel.

He twisted the mint candy plastic wrapper, feeling slightly at a loss—how the hell should he persuade him?

Besides, he didn’t know exactly what was going on with his Lu-Ge and the Young Master right now.

As for what he’d observed, Lu Shi was always decisive, had a clear goal, and had never done a sloppy job.

But in the face of Chu Yu, he used all his scheming methods yet still fell headfirst into it in the end.

Wei Guanglei bit the mint candy in his mouth to pieces and decided to keep quiet.

If it was a fight, he could just follow Lu Shi from behind, carry a rod, and charge into battle.
But matters involving feelings were too damn complicated, so he couldn’t get involved.

When another magazine was emptied, Wei Guanglei noticed that Lu Shi’s hand which held the gun was shaking, but he had no intentions of stopping at all.

Releasing the empty magazine4, Lu Shi reached out for the bullets again.

Wei Guanglei, who wanted to persuade him, opened his mouth, but then closed it again.

Lu Shi pinched the brass-colored bullets with his fingertips and filled the bullet slot with practiced movements.
He said, “You go back first, no need to guard me.”

He raised his eyelids, hooked the gun with his fingers, and agilely turned around.

Without warning, Lu Shi held the butt of the gun, lifted it, and placed the muzzle against his temple.
He then said indifferently, “Are you worried that I’ll shoot myself?”

Wei Guanglei’s entire back went cold.

The air he inhaled through his nose mixed with the mint.
From his trachea to his lungs, it became completely cool.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered how he and Zhu Zhifei saw Lu Shi’s aura when driving a race car—

Lu Shi was most likely somewhat tired of the world, so much so that it seemed like he would die in the next second, and it wouldn’t be a big deal.
However, there appeared to be something that was barely suspending his life.

But it was just barely hanging.

Shifting the direction of the muzzle, Lu Shi nimbly grasped the barrel with his fingers and tapped Wei Guanglei’s shoulder with the butt.
“Alright, go back, no need to guard me, I’m calm.”

Wei Guanglei was worried, so he stayed in his spot for several minutes before he finally had no choice but to leave.

Lu Shi put on the shooting earmuffs again, isolating from the whole world.

When he left the shooting range, it was past midnight.
The neon light was cold and cheerless, the streets, corners, and alleys were empty, and there were not many people.

Under the light of the street lamps, the dense rain could be seen clearly.
Lu Shi raised his hand with his palm facing up, and realized that it was raining again.

The exterior walls of the old buildings become darker if they were stained with water, as if the dirt would forever remain ineradicable.

With his hands in his jeans pockets, Lu Shi walked very slowly as his shadow near his feet was stretched by the streetlights.

Going around a corner and passing by a flower bed full of weeds, a stray cat leaped out of the shrubbery that hadn’t been trimmed for a long time.
It made a sound with its movement and soon disappeared.

Lu Shi inadvertently raised his eyes, then, his steps suddenly halted.

The light bulb hanging at the entrance of the corridor was dim as always.
At this moment, there was a person standing under its light, holding a square-shaped paper box in hand and walking back and forth.
It was unknown what he was muttering about.

He was dressed very thinly, without an umbrella, causing his hair to be wet with rain.
If one walked closer, they would definitely be able to see the tiny strewn raindrops on his hair.

But Lu Shi stopped in place, not daring to get closer.

He was hidden in the darkness, gazing at Chu Yu who was standing under the light, from a long distance.

The winter night breeze was so cold that it bore through the clothes into the skin, and further into the bones.

Until Chu Yu saw Lu Shi.

He was originally muttering “there’s no ghosts, there’s no ghosts” to give himself courage when suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

He had rushed home to take something, and without resting, he ran back to school right after.
He learned that Lu Shi had not come to evening self-study and there was no one in the dormitory, so Chu Yu hugged the thing and ran to Qingchuan Road to wait downstairs.

Finally, the person he was waiting for arrived.

Carefully holding the tightly packed paper box in his hand, Chu Yu walked over with quick steps and stood in front of Lu Shi.

He handed forward the thing in his hand.
“I specially went home to take it, to give it to you.”

Lu Shi didn’t take it.
His expression was indistinguishable as he asked in a hoarse voice, “What is it?”

Chu Yu’s eyes were bright.
As if a secret that must be kept only between two people, he leaned close and whispered, “I bought it secretly from abroad, the most expensive, most advanced, and least easily discovered wiretapping device!”

The two stood in the dark together, their shadows fading out into the darkness.

Chu Yu gazed at Lu Shi, and earnestly said, “From now on, I will be your accomplice.”

Author wrote that Lu Shi threw the magazine away, but then he reached out for bullets… It would’ve been fine if he was changing magazines but in the next paragraphs, Lu Shi would be filling in bullets.
