Just didn't think of an encounter would bring Yan Mu come to his life, Lu Chengyu's life is no longer lonely.

Chapter 1: Return

Lu Chengyu's grandfather named him Chengyu*, hoping to make him rich and have a good fortune everywhere. As a result, his life was meaningless and died after graduating from college.

(Chengyu* = Cheng is to carry and Yu is extra. I don't really know it. Maybe it's to receive more? It's hard to guess)

He sat in the public seat, looking at a pair of lover's walking in front of him that makes his eyes blind. After a long time he patted the dust that didn't exist on his clothes and walk slowly in the dormitory building.

Clean shirt and sweater vest, fitted jeans and casual shoes, a very ordinary dress, but it makes Lu Chengyu looks clean and respectable, making the girls look at him a few times.

Greeting his acquaintances along the way to the dormitory, his roommates were playing in the room. One of his roommates saw him and didn't turn his head to ask him, "Third*, where have you been? Old four* was looking for you just now."

(Third* = I guess it's there ranking in the room, third is Lu Chengyu who's the third older in the room.)

(old Four* = As I said it's the order of their age but it has a laosi/old in it.)

"Just go out and walk," who would have thought that he's dead and suddenly finds himself lying in the dormitory bedroom, he can't calm down. However, for his own image, he had no choice but to stroll outside the dormitory quietly to vent his shocked and ecstatic mood.

As for the old four Chen Jin who Second Zhang Hong mentioned, he don't know what to say to this person. In his last life, Chen Jin seems to have confessed to him during the period of college graduation. After rejecting him, he rarely appears in front of himself.

But he don't know if it's his illusion, since then, his luck became worse, he reduced to a lobby manager and encountered Chen Jin and his partner Liang Deyou who stood beside him. With the disdainful eyes and disappointed expression of Chen Jin, he could only smile and sent the two people in their room. He can't bear to look straight.

When he turned away, he receive Chen Jin's 'I have a bad eyesight in the past*' expression. Life is too tragic. But even so, he is Lu Chengyu, he can turn away with a handsome smile.

(I have a bad eyesight in the past* = He liked Lu Chengyu before and thought he has a bad eyesight because he works as a lobby manager?)

Zhang Hong stop playing games and turned to see Lu Chengyu dazedly staring at the wall. He can't help but sigh, this good looking man, he is just staring there but can have a rich and handsome temperament. But unfortunately he is not rich enough. He sat across the chair and lifted his chin, "Didn't you always takes care of Chen Jin? He was looking for you just now. We also couldn't get through your cell phone. You've comeback now, at least give him a call."

"Okay," Lu Chengyu took out his cell phone, went in front of Zhang Hao's computer and gave Chen Jin a call. He look closer to the computer desktop and look at the game that Zhang Hao played and uninterestedly ask, "You're still playing this game, did you find a work yet?"

"I'll went to the same company with Guang Lin and will report on monday, How about you?" Zhang Hong knew that Lu Chengyu is not interested in the game and threw him an orange in the table. "What's the matter? We're brother's you don't have to be polite." A year ago, Lu Chengyu's parents had an accident. Although there was a compensation, but he's alone without his parent's, his life is not that good. 

"There's nothing wrong with work. I'm your brother so there's no way I'll be polite to you!" Lu Chengyu smiled and patted Zhang Hao's shoulder. Then he peeled the orange in his hands and said, "I'm going to move out tomorrow. How about having a meal together tonight?"

"Move out tomorrow?" Zhu Guanglin, who has been paying attention to the game and look at him. Lu Chengyu didn't see Chen Jin around and said, "Yes, I'll wait for Cheng Jin to come back." Chen Jin is introverted. Although they are a good people, but they did not have much contact with Chen Jin. In addition, Chen Jin's family's conditions are not very good. They are willing to help him but they also consider his pride. Therefore, in the past four years, their relationship with Chen Jin is more moderate and  less intimate.

Lu Chengyu always pays attention to him. It will be good for a while but it can't be always.

Lu Chengyu always acts like a gentleman, so he takes care of Chen Jin. Among his three roommates, Chen Jin is the most close to Lu Chengyu. Therefore, he also wants Cheng Jin to join them. 

After hearing Zhu Guanglin mention Chen Jin's name, Lu Chengyu nodded his head. After he refused Chen Jin in the past life, he did not often see him. Whenever he see Chen Jin, he was always in bad luck. This is really a miserable reminder and a strange thing. He can't also blame him.

In the evening, with white shirt and casual suit, Lu Chengyu and his three roommates ordered a table of dishes in the restaurant outside the campus and drink a lot of wine. Upon returning to the dormitory, Zhu Guanglin and Zhang Hao sleep like a dead. Lu Chengyu shook his head and brush his teeth. he just look back and see Chen Jin's pair of good-looking and wet eyes looking at him. He suddenly feel that bad things will happen.

"Lu Chengyu, we have been living in the same dormitory room, why did you always take care of me?" Che Jin lean against the door and stood unsteadily.

"We are classmates. We should take care of each other, right?" Lu Chengyu put down his toothbrush and cup in his hands and tried to squeeze past Che Jin's side. He didn't really want to hear this confession.

"If I say... I like you, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe!"

Chen Jin, "..."

After a moment of silence, Chen Jin smile and said, "I know you don't believe me, but I'm serious."

Lu Chengyu walk in front of him and pat Chen Jin's shoulder. "Okay, you don't have to joke about this between your buddies." He took his cell phone in his pocket pants and show it in front of Chen Jin. "Today is April fool's day."

Chen Jin look at the date displayed on the mobile phone. It is April 1st and he look at the casual expression of the person in front of him. His original tension turned into anger, "Lu Chengyu, we have been getting along for many years, didn't you know me? You don't have to accept my confession, but don't trample my heart."

Pushing away the cell phone in front of him, Chen Jin turn and walk away to the door and suddenly stop. He turn to look at Lu Chengyu with a force smile on his face and gritted his teeth, "Since you don't want to accept me then don't be good to me! If I knew that this day would come. I would rather not know you four years ago and did not live in the same dorm with you." After that, he opened the dormitory door and walked out without hesitation.

Listening to the heavily closing of the door, Lu Chengyu rub his face with his hands. what did he do? Not to say that he is not interested in men, even if he likes men, it is not good if its Chen Jin. When he saw Chen Jin's family is not in a good situation, going to university is also not easy. Therefore, he took care of him. Now it became his fault.

He lay back to his bed and pull the quilt in his body. He is somewhat confuse, Chen Jin ran away in the middle of the night before causing him to worry overnight. As a result, the second day of his interview failed but in the end it was Chen Jin who passed in the company. The president's child of that company later became Chen Jin's partner, Liang Deyou. Looking back on this things, Lu Chengyu felt that life was a hell pot of dog blood.

The next day, Lu Chengyu accompanied by his two buddies, move his things to a taxi. When he is about to leave, he see Chen Jin go out from a private car. The person who is in the driving seat is Liang Deyou.

Lu Chengyu has no intention of saying hello to the two of them and bent over to get into the taxi but was stop by Chen Jin. He look back at the two men walking towards him and said something to the taxi driver. He stand and leaned back against the door elegantly.

"You are Lu Chengyu?" Liang Deyou look at him with a smile and slowly extend his hand to Lu Chengyu. 'My surname is Liang, Xiao Jin's friend. Hello."

"Hello." Lu Chengyu reach out and held out his hand and quickly took it back. Although his life is not good in his past life, but his ability to being polite is perfect. Otherwise, it is not easy being a looby manager of a luxury hotel. Although his action's are polite, it also reveal a high taste. 

Chen Jin did not notice the hidden meaning of Liang Deyou's action. he only look at Lu Chengyu, "You're moving and didn't even tell me?"

"When we had dinner together last night, didn't I say that I was leaving the dorm today?" Lu Chengyu hook his lips. "Since you're back to school, I'm relieve. I'll go first."

Chen Jin saw the smile on his face and could not help but ask, "Is there really no possibility between us?"

Lu Chengyu look at Liang Deyou. The man's face is not very good. He touch his chin and said, "Chen Jin, we have been classmates for four years, don't waste our friendship."

"Okay, I understand." Chen Jin look pale and stare at Lu Chengyu deeply and finally turn away. When Liang Deyou saw this, he glare at Lu Chengyu and follow up.

Zhao Hong and Zhu Guanglin notice that something was wrong. but the two of them were closer to Lu Chengyu and Lu Chengyu did not say anything. They naturally will not ask.

"Well, I'm going first. Take care and when you're free, we'll go and drink together again." Lu Chengyu chicly wave and sat on the taxi and close the door. he wave his hand again to his two buddies and said, "Mister, please drive."

"Well," said the taxi driver who has been impatient for a while. After a short distance he said, "Are you graduating this year?"

"Yes," Lu Chengyu look up at the driver's seat and smile. "I'm sorry for letting mister wait for me."

"It's okay," he wave his right hand and skillfully turned the steering wheel on the other hand. The car quickly turn in a corner. "I see that boy is interested in you. Not that i'm a big talker, but I'll tell you don't go that way, looking at you young man being so handsome, what kind of girlfriend can not find?"

Lu Chengyu said oh. You're thinking like that mister, did your wife know?

"Oh, don't worry about this. I've been driving for years. I've seen a lot of men and women fighting in the car. Also crying and resentment, being married is also unreliable. Not to mention both men," the driver feeling good about his advice and continue "However, my wife is still very reliable."

Lu Chengyu continues to says oh. Uncle, you say so much is to show love?

After getting off, the driver also deliberately reduce Lu Chengyu's taxi fare by five dollars and drove away at the fastest speed as a plane.

Lu Chengyu was sprayed in the face with the cars exhaust gases and sigh. There are people like that everywhere.

He look back at the area behind him and the smile on his face faded.
