Capítulo 25: 2.25 What Are You Two Doing?

"Happy birthday, Young Master Ren! The party is fabulous! Your house is soo beautiful!"

"Happy birthday, Young Master Ren! We missed you so much! School without you isn't the same anymore!"

After making his rounds to the important figures Lu Yizhou told him to take notes of, Ren Zexi finally ended up being surrounded by his classmates. Huang Zhihe whistled and glanced at Ren Zexi up and down. The teenager donned a casual slim fit suit, highlighting his long legs and broad shoulders, looking especially masculine and mature. "As the saying goes, clothes really do make the man!"

Laughters resounded following his words. "How could it be? Young Master Ren is as dashing as always, okay?"

Huang Zhihe tutted. "Now that you have Ren Zexi, you don't side with me anymore!"

The Special students and Normal students had mingled harmoniously for the past semester and no prejudice could be seen in their eyes anymore. Seeing everyone get along made Ren Zexi happy. He swept his eyes around yet didn't find a certain someone. "Where's Jing Xuehao? He didn't come?"

"Ah!" Guang Li exclaimed. "He's just here with me just now. He said he wanted to go to the bathroom. That guy, he looks kinda sick. His face is all red too."

"Speaking of which, Young Master Ren," They gathered around Ren Zexi and whispered excitedly. "Where's CEO Lu? He isn't coming here with you? We have been wanting to meet him again for ages!"

"Right, right. He looks so damn fine tonight. All the women's eyes here are fixated on him! It's not unreasonable though. Even though I'm a man, my heart also beats so fast when I see him…"

"The A-rate actor there looks totally dull compared to CEO Lu!"

"Where is he anyway? I want to take a photo with him and frame it on my wall…"

"Hey, hey." Huang Zhihe laughed. "Stop it. Don't you realize our Young Master's face has turned dark because of your words?"

"Oh my…" The students clasped their mouths and laughed. "Sorry, sorry Young Master Ren. We didn't do it on purpose."

Ren Zexi harrumphed and looked around. This was bad. Who asked the stylish to make Lu Yizhou so captivating tonight? Ren Zexi shouldn't have left him alone otherwise who knew what would happen?

Still, he couldn't find Lu Yizhou anywhere. It was weird… he could see Old Master Meng sitting on the sofa in the corner surrounded by a few politicians with Meng Yun by his side. Yet he couldn't seem to spot Lu Yizhou anywhere. A bad premonition coursed through his heart and he whispered to the nearest servant. "Where's Uncle Lu?"

"Please wait a moment, Young Master. I will go and ask around."

Ren Zexi nodded with a frown. "Hurry." Turning to his classmates who were full of anticipation, he put on an apologetic face. "Sorry guys, it seems like Uncle Lu is preoccupied with something. I will go and see if he needs any help. Please excuse me."

"Ah? Okay then. That's too bad…"

"We won't bother you anymore, Young Master Ren."

"Please send my regards to CEO Lu!"

Ren Zexi nodded and strode past the guests to the inner room. There, Butler An coincidentally came out and spotted him. "Young Master Ren, are you searching for Master Lu? He's currently resting in the lounge upstairs and ordered me to assist you with the party. Did something happen?"

"No, nothing." Worry marred Ren Zexi's face. "Did something happen to Uncle Lu? Did he...feel sick again?"

The butler gave a comforting smile. "Nothing of that sort. You know him. He always dislikes crowds."

Despite Butler An's reassurance, Ren Zexi still couldn't disperse his worry. It had been like this since he found out about Lu Yizhou's heart disease. He would be anxious if the man was out of his sight. As a result, his gaze kept on chasing after Lu Yizhou and if Ren Zexi didn't receive any news from him for more than an hour, he would start panicking.

Since Old Master Meng led Lu Yizhou away up to now, an hour and half had passed.

"I will go and check up on Uncle Lu for a bit." He said to Butler An. "Please take care of the guests for a while, Butler An."

"As you wish, Young Master."

However, Ren Zexi hadn't gone far yet when a loud ruckus sounded from the door. A man was screaming and causing chaos. "Where's Ren Zexi?! Where's that bastard Lu Yizhou?! Tell them to come out! I am Ren Zexi's blood related uncle! Why shouldn't I be here?! Tell your boss that I, Ren Gechuan, have come to take my nephew away! Ren Zexi is my only family! I am the one who should raise him! Ren Zexi's late father, Ren Zexian, left him in my care! I will sue Lu Yizhou! I will definitely sue him for heavy assault and kidnapping!"

Ren Zexi's eyes turned cold. More than a decade had passed and he had almost forgotten that he had this blood related uncle. What remained in his deepest memory was just the fear, pain and hunger he suffered before he met Lu Yizhou and how warm the man's embrace was when he took him away from that hellish place.

Ha… Ren Zexi laughed. He really chose the right time to show up.

However, between going to Lu Yizhou or meeting his uncle, Ren Zexi didn't even need to hesitate. He told Butler An to take care of the situation and made his way upstairs.

The lounge where Lu Yizhou rested was a private place that wasn't open to the guests thus there weren't any people around. Still, he felt weird when he didn't even catch sight of a bodyguard around. Where's Ah Shen who ought to follow Lu Yizhou 24/7? He circled around the second floor and found dubious sounds and weird odor coming from the bathroom. Frowning, he called out. "Ah Shen?"

"Ah? Young Master Ren?!" Ah Shen sounded flustered. "Did—Did something happen?!"

"What happened to you? Where's Uncle Lu?"

"Sorry, I—I suddenly got diarrhea so Master Lu dismissed me. He's in the lounge near the garden. I escorted him in before going to the bathroom!"

"Okay, thanks." Ren Zexi turned around and dashed to the lounge. He didn't know why but ominous premonition filled his chest, compelling him to run faster and faster. He arrived at the lounge in record time and slammed the door open. "Uncle Lu—" The words died down his throat as he took in the sight in front of him. His expression chilled in an instant. "What...are you two doing?"

Lu Yizhou was perfectly fine as he sat on the sofa with one of his legs crossed atop of the other. His hand stretched out to grasp the jaw of the other person in the room, the corner of his lips curled into a sardonic smile.

Jing Xuehao, whom Guang Li said had gone to the bathroom, was here alone with Lu Yizhou instead, kneeling under the man's feet with a suspicious blush across his cheek.

As naked as the day he was born.
