The taxi stopped outside of a villa area in South Island.

In the car's back seat, Chu Yu was leaning on Lu Shi's shoulder with his eyes closed and breathing smooth; he showed no signs of waking up.

Lu Shi lowered his eyes and glanced at Chu Yu's hair whorl. "I know you're awake."

No movements.

Lu Shi spoke again, "Five minutes ago, I saw you open your eyes then quickly close them again."

Even if he was exposed, Chu Yu still kept his composure.

After a few seconds, he sat up slowly, rubbed his eyes, and pretended that he just woke up as he looked around with a confused expression. "We're here?"

Chu Yu's words carried the bafflement of being awakened, while he wasn't quite calm in his heart- how did I end up falling asleep on Lu Shi's shoulder? I even slept all the way!

When he'd opened his eyes, he found that he'd been sleeping on Lu Shi's shoulder and was so frightened that he'd quickly closed his eyes again!

Lu Shi watched his earnest play.

He recalled the event in the corridor outside their classroom where Chu Yu had acted dizzy.

His acting skills hadn't improved and were as poor as back then.

Chu Yu's family owned a famous mansion in Green Island, S City. Their entire estate area occupied nearly 50,000 square meters of land, and only 18 villas had been built upon it. Except for the cries of insects, almost no human voices could be heard. The more one walked in, the quieter it was.

The street lamp stretched the shadows of the two boys obliquely.

Lu Shi tilted his head and saw Chu Yu's head drooping, his thoughts unknown.

He remarked, "Since coming back from Qingchuan River you've been in a daze."

Chu Yu returned to his senses, but didn't respond to the statement. "What?"

"What's going on?"

Was it... because I thought there was something in his heart that I insisted on sending him back?

"Actually," Chu Yu stared at the messy shadow of the tree on the ground, "actually, it's nothing, it's really fine, wait, no, there is something." He tangled for a while until he said, "Lu Shi."

"Hm?"

"Let's discuss a serious topic!"

Chu Yu felt very determined, and a bit inexplicably ashamed, but on the way back from Qingchuan River, his mind had revolved entirely around this.

"Do-do you have any goals?"

Lu Shi put his hands in his pockets. His back was very straight as he looked down at Chu Yu and answered, "Yes."

Chu Yu's eyes widened slightly with curiosity. "What's your goal? Take first place in a nationwide race? Enroll in a superb university and study abroad? Or make a lot of money? Maybe starting a business or conducting some kind of very powerful and cutting-edge scientific research?"

"Neither."

Sure enough, a study god's thinking was impossible to be deciphered by a slacker.

Chu Yu held his breath. "Then?"

Lu Shi answered, "I won't tell you."

??

"Ok."

Lu Shi didn't want to say it, so Chu Yu didn't ask any more questions. He was out of it for a while, appearing discontent. "Actually, I was listening to Shitou and Zhu Zhifei chatting today and I suddenly wondered what my goal was. This question is quite broad with not much of a practical significance, but I just- just suddenly realized that in the past 17 years of my life, I seemed to have no goals. When I thought about it this way, I felt a little perplexed. Haha, isn't this particularly unreasonable?"
