Chapter 155: Ling Wu is so good-looking

The Sike Academy sports meet continued until Friday, and the weekend arrived soon after. Following his tutoring agreement with Yu Shixue, Ling Wu sent him a message. About half an hour later, a Cayenne pulled up outside Ling Wu's villa.

Yu Shixue stood leaning against the car door. He wore a cool-toned gray overcoat with a minimalist, stylish cut, and a turtleneck sweater underneath. With both hands tucked into his coat pockets, his side profile looked exceptionally sharp against the whistling cold wind.

Seeing the villa door open, Yu Shixue stubbed out his cigarette, tossed it into the trash can, and walked over to meet him.

Ling Wu was wearing a creamy-white knit sweater today. The beret on his head pressed down his fluffy hair, making his whole appearance soften; he looked not only languid and casual but also had an artistic air...

Accustomed to seeing Ling Wu in a white shirt, looking clean and aloof, Yu Shixue was now drawn to the approachability he exuded: "Have you had breakfast?"

Ling Wu: "I ate two red bean buns."

"Good."

Yu Shixue opened the car door for Ling Wu, then sat in the driver's seat. The black Cayenne drove along the road, the camphor trees on both sides receding rapidly. He steered with one hand, the veins on the back of his hand looking very sexy.

While waiting at a red light, Yu Shixue glanced at Ling Wu's side profile and asked, seemingly nonchalant: "Do you live with someone else?"

His tone carried a hint of interrogation.

Ling Wu let out a breathy sound in his throat: "Hm?"

He did not understand why Yu Shixue would ask this.

"Just asking." Yu Shixue looked straight ahead: "I saw a strange man on the balcony of your villa just now. Are you living together?"

Ling Wu had not expected that he had actually seen Xi Huaizhi.

"That is my friend, staying at my place temporarily."

Relief washed over Yu Shixue's eyes: "Oh."

The corners of his lips lifted slightly, a very shallow arc.

Yu Family.

Yu Shixue drove the car into the courtyard. The servants at the entrance bowed their heads slightly when they saw him return, respectfully clearing the way, and the two entered the door.

Ling Wu asked: "Which pair of shoes should I wear?"

Yu Shixue took a brand-new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and bent down to place them at Ling Wu's feet, his expression somewhat unable to hold back a smile: "Yu Tingyun knew you were coming today and went to the mall yesterday specifically to buy these for you. Um... will you make do with them?"

It was a pair of pink rabbit slippers, fluffy all over, with drooping ears. The rabbit's face even had two spots of blush painted on, and the heel part was a pom-pom-shaped tail.

Ling Wu took off his shoes, his white socks stepping onto the floor: "What kind of aesthetic is this?"

He put on the rabbit slippers.

Yu Shixue casually pulled open the adjacent shoe cabinet, crossed his arms, and tilted his chin: "The whole zoo—tigers, giraffes, bees, turtles..."

Childish brat.

Ling Wu was somewhat shocked by those whimsical animal slippers. He looked down at the pair on his feet; well, he could accept it—at least it was much better than that pair of little bee slippers.

On the spiral staircase, Yu Tingyun ran down wearing his green dinosaur slippers. He gave Ling Wu a happy, cheerful hug, then stuck his leg out and deliberately shook it: "Brother Ling Wu, you're wearing the slippers I bought; they look just like a pair with the ones on my feet."

Yu Shixue gave him a flick to the forehead: "Dinosaurs and rabbits have reproductive isolation."

"So what?" Yu Tingyun shook his head: "I say they're a pair, so they're a pair."

A smile hung on Ling Wu's lips as his eyes surveyed this manor villa. His movements were very subtle. When Yu Shixue's gaze swept over him and landed on the faint smile in his eyes, he suddenly found Yu Tingyun beside him very unpleasant.

Like a golden-maned lion king.

Yu Shixue said coldly: "Hurry up and dye that ridiculous hair of yours back; it's annoying to look at."

"Damn it!" Yu Tingyun protected the top of his head with one hand: "How did my hair offend you? Stop interfering with my personal freedom. Besides, Brother Huaiyu dyes his hair too; if you're so capable, why don't you manage him?"

"What kind of skill is it to bully your own younger brother?"

Yu Shixue said coldly: "I think you learned to be bad from him."

Inside Jinghe Manor, Yin Huaiyu sneezed.

Damn it, who is cursing him?

Yu Tingyun was unconvinced: "I don't even want to mention the tattoo on your collarbone!"

"It's all because you led me astray, it's all you!" He hugged Ling Wu's arm and then said: "This is what they call 'if the upper beam is crooked, the lower ones will be too.' If I had an older brother like Brother Ling Wu, I definitely wouldn't touch cigarettes or alcohol!"

Yu Shixue couldn't be bothered to deal with him. His fingertips operated on his phone for a few seconds, and he immediately froze one of Yu Tingyun's cards. Inside the villa, a cold and ruthless electronic notification sound rang out: "You have frozen the supplementary card ending in XXXX!"

Yu Tingyun widened his eyes in disbelief: "........"

【The sky has fallen!】

【The evils of capitalism】

【Suppressed by bloodline】

【Does anyone notice our Magician is sizing up the Yu Family? I feel like something is definitely going to happen.】

【I have a premonition that wifey Ling Wu is going to do something big.】

Yu Tingyun: "You surnamed Yu, don't think you can make me submit with this kind of vicious method. I'm telling you, it's impossible! Mom and Dad are returning to the country soon; you can't threaten me anymore!"

Yu Shixue didn't even spare him a glance. He sat on the sofa, opened his laptop, and typed on the keyboard with slender fingertips, saying sparingly: "Oh."

In the gap between their bickering, Ling Wu knew the heads of the Yu Family were returning to the country. Unknown emotions brewed in his eyes...

"Can't be bothered to argue with you!" Yu Tingyun pulled Ling Wu toward the stairs, his dinosaur slippers slapping against the marble floor with a "patter-patter-patter": "Brother Ling Wu, let's go!"

Ling Wu was dragged by him onto the spiral staircase.

In the living room, the sound of Yu Shixue typing on the keyboard stopped. He watched the two figures disappear up the stairs.

Ling Wu chatted idly with Yu Tingyun: "Are the elders coming back from abroad?"

"Yeah." Yu Tingyun counted on his fingers and said: "Last time I video-called them, they said they were coming back soon, but it probably won't be that fast. In any case, they will be back before the end of the year."

"Why do you ask?"

"I haven't seen the elders in a long time either." Ling Wu was tactful and charming: "As a junior, I will pay a personal visit once they return to the country."

Yu Tingyun's brows relaxed, his almond eyes squinting slightly. He liked Ling Wu's neither humble nor pushy demeanor, which made people feel close: "Brother Ling Wu, you're too polite. Our two families are already close; why talk about visiting or not? Come over to play often when you have time; my parents will definitely be very happy to know..."

Yu Tingyun placed his hand on Ling Wu's shoulder, his fingertips feeling the softness of that knit sweater. He was very intimate with him, though his tone was somewhat ambiguous: "Of course, my brother and I will be very happy too."

The youth deliberately emphasized the words "my brother."

Ling Wu seemed not to understand the subtext of his words: "Sure."

"You are also welcome to come visit my home."

Ling Wu's words were, of course, merely polite, a flawless way of conducting oneself.

"Tingyun? May I call you that?"

Yu Tingyun could not have asked for more: "Of course."

Sike Academy is a top-tier aristocratic institution where the requirements for grades are not high, and the cutoff scores are practically nominal; having money and power is the best pass, and besides, the heirs of families are naturally excellent, so there is no need for them to worry, and Yu Tingyun's intention to hire him as a tutor is self-evident, as the focus is not on this level at all.

But Ling Wu mentioned it in passing anyway: "Do you have any subjects you are particularly weak in? I have a few sets of math, physics, and chemistry papers; you can try them first."

He had no experience with tutoring.

But fortunately, Yu Tingyun did not need Ling Wu to have experience at all; upon hearing topics like "subjects, math, physics, chemistry, and papers," his expression became a bit impatient, yet his attitude toward Ling Wu remained very good: "I'll listen to you, alright, alright, let's talk about doing problems later."

"Brother Ling Wu, guess which floor my room is on?"

The two chatted as they walked very slowly, and Ling Wu guessed casually: "The 3rd floor?"

"The 4th floor."

Yu Tingyun said: "Are you a bit tired? There is an elevator in the villa, but I wanted to talk to you more; shall we take the elevator next time?"

"Okay."

Since Yu Tingyun's room was on the 4th floor, the study, due to reasons of privacy and security, could only be located on the 5th floor.

"Brother Ling Wu?"

Ling Wu turned to the side: "Hm?"

"It's nothing." Yu Tingyun said: "Just wanted to call you."

Yu Tingyun's room was neat and clean, but inconsistent with his overall sunny and cheerful image, the color scheme inside his room was monotonous and dull, making it hard to see any highly saturated colors; it was somewhat lifeless.

"Sit wherever you like."

Ling Wu was a person of high efficiency; he quickly entered the state of a tutor, sitting with Yu Tingyun in front of the spacious desk, taking off his beret and placing it to the side, his distinct knuckles pointing at the textbook, his lips moving as he explained obscure and difficult knowledge points, his brows and eyes slightly lowered, looking very gentle and mild.

Yu Tingyun was listless, resting his cheek on one hand, his gaze focused entirely on this good-looking tutor; because Ling Wu lowered his head and eyes, the small mole hidden in the fold of his eyelid was revealed, making his elegant profile look a bit more sexy.

Brother Ling Wu... is truly good-looking.
