Chapter 31
Yan Sui's figure quickly disappeared from sight.
Yu Li and the others stood by the roadside, no one spoke again, only an occasional bird call was heard from the small forest near the school.
Yu Li looked at the direction Yan Sui ran off, then turned to look at Yan Shiting.
However, Yan Shiting stood outside the range of the street lamp, his face showed no emotion.
He could only see Yan Shiting standing motionless, shrouded in darkness.
Yu Li walked a few steps forward, leaving the range of the street lamp, and went to Yan Shiting's side.
He nervously called out, "Big Brother Yan..."
Yan Shiting's body trembled slightly, as if he had just come back to his senses.
He lowered his gaze and looked at Yu Li, was silent for a while, then softly asked, "What happened to your arm?"
Just now, outside the counselor's office, he saw Yu Li rubbing his arm.
Yu Li was slightly startled, then shook his head: "Nothing."
On the side, Butler He seemed hesitant to speak: "Young Master..."
Yan Shiting interrupted him: "Go back."
It was said to both Butler He and Yu Li.
Butler He was stunned: "Young Master, what about you?"
"I'll go back to Wan Ting."
Wan Ting, that's the luxurious residential area where his large flat is located.
Butler He frowned and sighed: "Okay. Young Master, I'll go back and try to persuade the young master properly."
Before leaving, he paused and said, "Young Master, after I go back, I will persuade the young master well."
He left quickly after saying that.
Only Yan Shiting and Yu Li were left by the roadside.
Yu Li stood in front of Yan Shiting, biting his lips tightly.
He could feel that Yan Shiting's mood was low, but he didn't know what else he could do.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly raised his hand and grabbed Yan Shiting's sleeve, hesitating for a while, and said, "The dormitory gate will be closing soon, I can't go back."
Although it should only be just after 9 o'clock now, and the dormitory gate closing time is still early.
But he didn't want to go back to the dormitory, didn't want... to let Yan Shiting go back to that oppressive house alone.
The only thing he could do was to accompany Yan Shiting.
However, he didn't know if Yan Shiting needed his company.
Yu Li felt a bit uneasy.
Yan Shiting's gaze was heavy, his Adam's apple moved slightly.
He curled his fingers, but still couldn't help it, gently circling Yu Li's wrist that was grabbing his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Then let's go."
Yu Li was startled.
After reacting, he quickly nodded.
"Let's go."
Go back together.

Y University is about an hour's drive from the luxurious residential area in the city center.
Back in the large flat, Yan Shiting took an ice pack and put it on Yu Li's left arm that was bumped.
The injury was not serious, it just seemed that he had hit a numb nerve at the time, so his arm was a bit numb.
Other than that, there was a small bruise in the area slightly below the elbow joint.
After cooling it for a while, Yu Li's fingertips were reddened by the cold.
Yan Shiting looked at it, silently took the ice pack from his hand, and gently pressed it on the bruise.
Yu Li was stunned, his arm stiffened for a moment.
At least two months ago, he would certainly not have thought that there would be a day when Yan Shiting would personally help him apply cold compresses.
But now, this thing has actually happened.
And he didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.
Yu Li was somewhat dazed, his arm gradually relaxed.
The ice cubes in the ice pack gradually melted a bit.
Yan Shiting put down the ice pack and said, "Next time before getting into a fight, you need to protect yourself first."
Yu Li paused.
So Yan Shiting knew how he got his arm bumped.
He wiped the water on his arm and said, "I know."
Yan Shiting threw the ice pack into the trash can, raised his hand to rub his brow, and said, "Go to bed early."
There was a slight hint of fatigue in his tone.
After saying that, he also seemed to have noticed it, and was stunned for a moment.
Yu Li watched him, his ten fingers intertwined.
He wanted to say he wasn't sleepy yet, but before he could say it, he saw Yan Shiting stand up.
"It's late, go rest early."
Then Yan Shiting turned and went back to his room first.
Yu Li was stunned.
Somehow, he felt like he could see a hint of avoidance in Yan Shiting's back.
After coming back to his senses, Yu Li looked at the closed door, and had to go back to his own room to wash up and go to sleep.
-
Around 1 o'clock at night, Yu Li turned over in bed again.
He simply couldn't sleep now, his mind kept replaying the events that happened tonight.
After a long time, Yu Li slowly sat up.
Since dinner, he hadn't had a single drop of water.
Now suddenly feeling a bit thirsty, since he couldn't sleep anyway, Yu Li simply got up to get a glass of water.
As soon as he opened the bedroom door, he saw the dark living room.
Yu Li walked quietly towards the dining table, where the water dispenser was next to it.
However, after just a few steps, he vaguely caught sight of a figure standing by the French window.
The neon lights outside were flashing, but the light that could be reflected into the living room of the large flat was pitifully scarce.
Yan Shiting was standing in the dark window, silently gazing out.
His tall figure was hidden in the darkness, his expression unreadable.
He would also look at the scenery like this.
When looking at the scenery, what was he thinking about?
In a moment of distraction, Yu Li accidentally kicked the dining table, causing the glass cup on it to shake and fall, rolling off the table and shattering into pieces.
The crisp sound brought Yan Shiting's thoughts back, he turned his head, and with the faint light coming in from the window, saw Yu Li standing there awkwardly.
"Don't move."
Yan Shiting strode over to Yu Li and turned on the wall switch.
The living room was instantly filled with a warm yellow light, but it was not dazzling.
Yan Shiting asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you turn on the light?"
Yu Li looked at Yan Shiting, sensing the familiar scent of pine and a faint hint of alcohol on him.
He paused for a moment and said, "I could see."
Yan Shiting pressed his lips tightly and didn't speak again, stepped forward, his hand raised, but hesitated for a moment.
In the end, he just pulled Yu Li's arm and led him to the sofa to sit down.
"I'll go clean up..."
Before he could finish his words, Yu Li raised his hand to stop him.
"Let's clean it up in the morning." He looked seriously at Yan Shiting and said, "The night view here is very nice, can you keep me company and watch it?"
He was worried that if Yan Shiting went to clean up the shards, he would just go straight back to his room like before.
That way, Yan Shiting would still be dealing with his emotions alone.
Outwardly, he may look very calm, but in reality, Yu Li's heart was pounding wildly.
If it had been before, he definitely wouldn't dare make such a request.
But for some reason, he just knew that Yan Shiting would agree.
Yan Shiting paused.
This was the first time Yu Li had actively grabbed his hand.
The point of contact on the skin seemed to be slightly warm.
In the warm light, Yu Li's peach blossom eyes seemed to be emanating a gentle glow.
Although Yan Shiting had only had half a glass of wine, he felt like his head was becoming a bit sluggish.
He was stunned for a long time, before finally nodding.
"Mm."
