Chapter 17

~4 min read 645 words

Under the dim light,

Su Mu saw that Lu Shu's expression was very calm.

As if stating an utterly ordinary trivial matter.

"You..."

"How did you know he has late-stage lung cancer?"

Su Mu's expression grew complex.

"His breathing pattern was already wrong."

"The noise was very loud."

"And he smokes."

Lu Shu explained calmly.

Su Mu froze entirely.

Just based on these things, one could know someone had lung cancer??

This guy...

Is too amazing.

Immediately, she saw Lu Shu's gaze sweep over her once.

Su Mu's heart instantly panicked.

Could it be...

"What do you mean... by looking at me?"

"Does my body have problems too?"

Fortunately, Lu Shu shook his head.

"You are very healthy."

"But you had better not deliberately constrain yourself, or you might easily get..."

"Breast cancer."

"Also, do not drink cold water these next two days."

"...."

Su Mu subconsciously looked down at her chest.

It was just because she had rushed to depart this morning,

so in her panic, she only found a slightly smaller bra to wear.

Originally, besides feeling a bit tight, she hadn't felt anything was wrong.

But now...

And, do not drink cold water?

Could he even tell she was on her period these two days?

Suddenly,

Su Mu felt a chill all over her body.

It seemed as if, in front of Lu Shu,

all her bodily secrets had been seen through.

Fortunately, after Lu Shu finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze.

That icy sensation of being seen through vanished along with it.

Watching that back figure walking toward the corridor,

Su Mu's curiosity grew stronger and stronger.

What exactly was Lu Shu like

when he worked part-time on the overseas battlefield?

"We've arrived."

A calm voice interrupted Su Mu's thoughts.

Looking up,

Lu Shu had already taken out a key and opened a door.

As the camera pulled back,

the furnishings inside the room appeared before the netizens' eyes.

"So this is student Lu Shu's home?"

"Although it looks small, it is very cozy."

"It seems he lives alone."

World-weary, Xiao Shuo's skirt spread like an umbrella as she rode, leading the spirit.

"No wonder student Lu Shu often works part-time to save money; his family conditions are indeed not very wealthy."

"Come on, this is already very good."

"At the very least, it should all be the result of student Lu Shu's own hard work and struggle."

After entering the room,

Su Mu was also somewhat surprised.

This was an ordinary, small two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

It was even somewhat old.

The appliances, furniture, and other objects in the home all looked to be several years old.

And it had been tidied up neatly and spotlessly.

Su Mu's first impression was...

Very homey.

But...

It didn't quite match what she had imagined.

Although the livestream comments all said Lu Shu's family wasn't very well-off,

she happened to know better,

overseas mercenaries, and bounty missions,

even though she didn't know exactly how much those commissions and bounties were worth,

surely it was more than enough to buy a big house, right?

And...

Su Mu's gaze kept searching the room,

paying special attention to those cabinets, and under the tables,

just as she was getting a little lost in her search,

Lu Shu's voice suddenly sounded from behind her,

"What are you looking for?"

"I...."

Su Mu gave a start and pulled her gaze back,

stammering.

"I thought..."

"You thought I'd pull out a row of guns from the cabinet?"

"Or that I'd pull out a crate full of high-explosive grenades from under the bed?"

"Or maybe there's an entire weapons cache hidden under my floor?"

"You've watched too many movies."

"...."

Looking at Lu Shu's teasing gaze,

Su Mu felt like she could just die of embarrassment.

She was even starting to regret taking this show.

I can't hold it in anymore!
