He is Too Stingy, This Sand Sculpture Cannon Fodder

After all, it’s a novel of several hundred thousand words, and some details aren’t remembered very well. Shu You really doesn’t remember why Lu Chenbi is here.

He only remembers that Lu Chenbi is also a talented person.

The Lu family and the Lin family have known each other for many years, and Lu Chenbi and Lin Mingxu are also childhood friends who grew up together. However, Lin Mingxu was the legendary “other people’s child”, while Lu Chenbi was just an ordinary playboy with no ambition and only interested in eating, drinking and playing. In comparison, Lu Chenbi felt unhappy whenever he saw Lin Mingxu.

In addition, his father, Lu’s main antagonist, intentionally or unintentionally “nurtured” him at home. From childhood to adulthood, Lu Chenbi saw Lin Mingxu as a big threat.

What Lin Mingxu had, he wanted to take away; what Lin Mingxu liked, he wanted to destroy.

From the limited edition Transformers when he was five years old, to the love letter someone else gave to Lin Mingxu when he was sixteen, Lu Chenbi always went aggressively towards what Lin Mingxu disliked – and it just so happened that a few days ago when “Shu You” went out to play, he met Lu Chenbi.

Originally, it was just a matter of lust and impulse, but “Shu You” was brainless and exposed that he was now with Lin Mingxu.

Lu Chenbi was pleasantly surprised when he heard this and thought that Lin Mingxu had fallen to such an extent, and that it was natural for him to step on him a few more times.

So “Shu You” was after Lu Chenbi’s money, and Lu Chenbi was after embarrassing Lin Mingxu. When Lu Chenbi tentatively offered to help “Shu You” find a new place to live, “Shu You” immediately agreed.

This morning, Lu Chenbi heard that Lin Mingxu had been rejected again and had no chance of turning things around.

He felt like he had been struck by lightning and was overjoyed. In a moment of excitement, he rushed over to pick up “Shu You” in person and give him a “surprise”.

Hmm…

It may also be only surprise without joy.

When Lu Chenbi saw the two of them come down together, he quickly thought and quickly put on a look of flirting with “Shu You”, his tone becoming even more ambiguous. “Shu You, did Lin Mingxu prevent you from leaving?”

“Don’t worry, with me here, he can’t do anything to you.”

Before Shu You could answer, Lu Chenbi continued to pretend to say to Lin Mingxu, “Ah, Mingxu, you really…”

“It’s just a chance encounter. People come and go. If someone wants to leave, you can’t keep them. Why do you do these unnecessary things?”

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows, fluttered his eyes, and smiled…

It’s estimated that if you put a pipa in his hand now, he could fly right away.

Shu You:…

His face was a bit stiff.

He squeezed out an awkward smile, secretly glanced at Lin Mingxu with the corner of his eye, and saw that the latter was motionless, with his arms folded and indifferent, as if he were an outsider.

Only those eyes were full of chilling coldness, and the gaze came over like ice edges.

Shu You instinctively trembled, quickly straightened his attitude, and tiptoed towards Lin Mingxu, obediently saying, “Lin Mingxu, believe me, it wasn’t me who called him here.”

Lin Mingxu didn’t speak, and his expression became even colder.

“Ah.”

However, Lu Chenbi wanted to show his presence, and smiled, “It was indeed me who came by myself. But, Shu You, you are also happy that I came to pick you up, right?”

Shu You shook his head desperately, “No, no, no, you will only make me happy by doing one thing now.”

Lu Chenbi felt that his attitude had changed, and subconsciously asked, “Don’t tell me you want me to leave?”

“It’s not that.”

Shu You said sincerely, “Do you want to buy a second-hand item?”

Lu Chenbi: ???

He was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he saw Shu You quickly stuffing a jewelry box into his hand, and urged, “Quick, see how much this is worth?”

“It’s worth…”

Lu Chenbi instinctively started to say something, and suddenly came back to his senses. What the hell is this worth? What does this mean between the two of them?

Could it be…

He looked at Lin Mingxu suspiciously, but the latter did not speak, only coldly watching the interaction between the two.

Lu Chenbi couldn’t figure out the situation for a while, and was about to speak, but Shu You spoke up again.

“Oh, it’s like this.”

He said seriously, “I’ve only used this thing once, the packaging is all complete, it’s last year’s model, and I can give you a 20% discount if you buy it.”

“If you want to buy it, give me 18,000 yuan, how about it?”

18,000 yuan?

Lu Chenbi thought to himself, “18,000 is just a drop in the bucket for him… Wait a minute!”

He became anxious and asked, “What do you mean?”

“What do you mean by 18,000? Speak clearly. Do you want to come with me or not?” Shu You sighed and asked.

“What do I understand?” Lu Chenbi asked.

“I won’t go with you,” Shu You said. “Can’t you see that I came down with my boyfriend? The message is pretty clear, isn’t it?”

Lu Chenbi: …

It seemed to be the case.

However, Lu Chenbi was not so easily dismissed. He immediately imagined a lot of scenarios and asked, “Is it that you don’t want to go with me, or is it that someone else won’t let you go with me?”

He added, “Just tell me the truth. Don’t worry about anything else. I want to see for myself. Some people are like this, thinking they’re still the young masters of a wealthy family. I can see that he’s…”

Shu You interrupted him, speaking earnestly, “Wait a minute, I won’t allow you to speak ill of my boyfriend in a sarcastic tone.”

Lu Chenbi: ???

Previously, Shu You had expressed great disdain for Lin Mingxu in front of him!

Lu Chenbi couldn’t help but say this out loud. He saw Shu You nod and shake his head, explaining confidently, “Hitting is loving, scolding is caring. Disdain is just a sign of attention. Only those who don’t care are cold-hearted like ice. Do you understand?”

“You seem to not understand,” he added with a smug look on his face, looking down on Lu Chenbi as a single dog. “That’s it then. My boyfriend and I have made up. You can go now.”

Lu Chenbi: …

He opened his mouth and found that he had nothing to say. After all, “Shu You” was very professional in fishing for compliments and had mostly hinted at him before, rather than clearly expressing his intentions. He had no reason to intervene.

Lu Chenbi could only watch as Shu Youla led Lin Mingxu away. When Lin Mingxu walked past him, he gave him a fleeting look that was subtle but seemed to indicate that he would remember what had happened today.

Lu Chenbi had never seen Lin Mingxu look at him like that before. He was stunned for a moment, and by the time he snapped out of it, the two of them had already walked away. As they walked, Shu You suddenly approached Lin Mingxu and said with a smile, “Oh dear, we couldn’t sell it for 18,000 yuan. We’ll have to find a pawn shop.”

Lin Mingxu didn’t respond.

He didn’t believe a word of Shu You’s nonsense.

At that moment, Shu You lowered his head and began to look at a map to find the location of the pawn shop. He was a young man with messy hair that was a bit too long, and his profile was delicate and beautiful. But despite his good looks, he was lazy and lied through his teeth.

Lin Mingxu sneered, moved away from him, and said coldly, “I have business to attend to.”

“Huh?”

Shu You hadn’t found the pawn shop yet, and was surprised as he looked up. “You still have something to do?”

“Yeah.”

Lin Mingxu replied coldly, “There are still some things that need to be taken care of.”

He glanced at Shu You’s suitcase disdainfully and said, “You can go now.”

After that, he took a deep look at Shu You and turned and left.

“…. Oh.”

Shu You dragged his suitcase and turned around, strolling casually. As he walked, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Mingxu was truly a tyrant among tyrants… wait, if he thought about it this way, wouldn’t it be easy for him to move on?

As long as he tried to have a peaceful separation, when Lin Mingxu met the protagonist, he would naturally “change his affections” and move on.

By then, wouldn’t he be able to get away easily?

Thinking this way, Shu You hummed a tune and entered the elevator. Soon, the elevator arrived, and he placed his expensive and luxurious luggage, worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, in the entrance and locked it with a key. He turned around and knocked on the door – the one across from him.

The anti-theft door opened, and a pale-faced young man looked at him. “Shu You? I thought you left?”

“I’m not leaving anymore.”

Shu You smiled and extended his hand. “Give me back what I just gave you.”

Neighbor: ???

He had never heard of someone giving something away and then taking it back!

He was a bit reluctant to return the item, which was worth over 3,000 yuan, and stammered, “Didn’t you break up with your partner? What about this thing…?”

“Oh, we made up.”

Shu You didn’t even blink as he said bashfully, “He held me tenderly and begged me not to leave. I was so moved, so I’m not leaving!”

“As a good friend, you must be happy for me, right?”

Neighbor: …

He hesitated for a moment, then handed over the items and slammed the door shut.

Shu You stuffed the items into his pocket before stepping into the temporary residence he shared with Lin Mingxu.

Temporary, because they had rented the place. After Lin’s family went bankrupt, they were left with nothing. Their properties were all seized by the bank, and they couldn’t even move into their own house. When Lin Mingxu returned from overseas, he couldn’t even enter his own home and could only drag his luggage to deal with his parents affairs.

So, the only advantage of this temporary two-bedroom apartment was that it was cheap.

This was also one of the reasons why Shu You couldn’t stand it. Although he came from an average family, he had never experienced hardships since childhood. After following Lin Mingxu, he had enjoyed a life of luxury cars and villas. He couldn’t bear this “austere”1“austere” in this context suggests that the individual finds the current lifestyle to be too simple or plain, lacking the indulgences and extravagances that he has become accustomed to. life.

Shu You entered the apartment, observed it briefly, and found signs that both rooms were occupied – the previous tenants had focused on maximizing profits, so they had not done anything with Lin Mingxu.

He put the suitcase back in its original position, reorganized his things, and by the time he finished, it was already 7 pm and dark outside. He was hungry, so he went into the kitchen to make noodles. But before he could eat, he heard the sound of keys unlocking the door.

It was Lin Mingxu who had come back. He looked exhausted, as if he had been through a lot, but his eyes were deep and seemed to have confirmed something. Shu You poked his head out of the kitchen and asked, “Lin Mingxu, do you want some noodles?”

Lin Mingxu furrowed his brow deeply. “You didn’t leave?”

Shu You coughed awkwardly and said, covering his face, “I swear, I wasn’t planning on leaving.”

Lin Mingxu chuckled silently. Shu You made his most sincere expression, with his eyes widened and lips pursed obediently, and asked, “So, are you hungry? Shall I make some noodles for you?”

For a moment, the world seemed to fracture. After a second, Lin Mingxu suddenly narrowed his eyes, coldly saying, “Come over here.”

Shu You didn’t understand and walked over. Lin Mingxu had taken off his coat and slowly unbuttoned his shirt and loosened his tie. He revealed a sturdy chest with a prominent collarbone, staring at Shu You intently as he asked, “Why didn’t you leave?”

Shu You remained resolute and sincere, almost wanting to cut his chest open to prove himself, “My boyfriend is right here, where else would I go?”

“Is that so?” Lin Mingxu replied nonchalantly, but after a moment, he suddenly said, “Since I’m your boyfriend…”

Shu You widened his eyes, feeling a bit of a bad omen.

Lin Mingxu’s words were full of meaning, “Then move in tonight and fulfill your duties as a boyfriend.”

Shu You: …Huh?
