On the way to school, Shen Kuo was stopped by a group of gangsters at the entrance of the alley.
He recognized them, they were Wu Qiang and Zhao Chen's subordinates, they used to work as security guards in the dance hall, now after the dance hall closed Zhang Daji, they lost their jobs and have been wandering around the streets doing nothing.
Shen Kuo caught a glimpse of sticks in their hands and knew that the visitors were not good.
They blamed Shen Kuo for losing his job and came to trouble him.
Shen Kuo was in a hurry to watch Lu Yan's game, so he didn't have time to entangle with these people, so he could only make a quick decision.
He was very skilled, but he couldn't stand up to their numbers, and after knocking them down, his face and body were also stained.
Shen Kuo didn't have time to deal with his injuries, so he called a car and rushed to Beicheng No. 3 Middle School, got off at the school gate, and ran all the way to the small auditorium on the west side of the school.
Finally caught up.
Today is his birthday, and the girl he likes will sing a song for him under the spotlight.
Perhaps this will be the happiest day in his seventeen years of bleak life.
The girl was sitting on a stage chair, wearing a plain long skirt, holding a log-colored guitar in her hand, looking fresh and elegant.
She spoke slowly, her voice was like a sound of nature, and the audience was attracted by her beautiful voice.
Her eyes were clear and clean, without any impurities, so beautiful that her whole body was glowing.
However, Shen Kuo's face gradually sank.
This song is not for him.
When Lu Yan sang this song, her brows and eyes were slightly curved, and wherever her gentle gaze fell, it was the boy in the first row, Lu Zhen.
Shen Kuo's heart suddenly felt empty, and he only felt that he was ridiculous.
Compared to him, an unremarkable brat in a dark corner, her family is her ultimate support.
Shen Kuo doesn't have such a beautiful family, it is doomed that everything about him...is incomplete, so why should he expect to occupy a place in her heart.
ridiculous.
He watched Lu Yan'an finish singing the song quietly, watched the audience applaud, watched her bow and take the curtain call, watched Lu Zhen run up to the stage, presented a large bouquet of champagne roses in full bloom, and gave her a big bouquet. hug.
She basks in the sun and grows, surrounded by deep love.
He shouldn't expect to...
Overwhelmed.
Lu Yan saw Xiao Suo's figure of Shen Kuo by the wall, looked at the disappointed expression on his face, and felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle.
There is a sense of guilt.
She has clearly promised him...
After Lu Yan left the stage, the next program was Shu Mengfei. Shu Mengfei was overwhelmed by Lu Yan's performance just now. When she entered the stage, her footsteps were vacillating...
She didn't expect that Lu Yan, who had clearly heard that she was tone-deaf, would have a voice like the sounds of nature. Compared with hers, her own voice was really... very ordinary.
She originally wanted to take advantage of Lu Yan's poor performance to warm up her follow-up performance, but she never expected that Lu Yan would perform so well.
When the prelude to the music started, Shu Mengfei was absent-minded, so she couldn't keep up with the street shooting. Once she made a mistake in the front, it would be even more difficult to find the melody. So Shu Mengfei's performance was a failure. In her own hands.
The audience kept shaking their heads, and even the music teacher who had been guiding her frowned. At the end of the performance, the applause was sparse.
There is no harm if there is no comparison. Compared with Lu Yan's amazing performance just now, there is a world of difference between her performance.
When Lu Yan came backstage, Lu Zhen was already waiting by the corridor.
Seeing her, the boy rushed over to give Lu Yan a bear hug, and excitedly walked around Lu Yan in a circle.
"My sister is amazing!"
"how is the situation?"
"My mother wiped her tears just now, and my father handed her a tissue."
"That's not bad, is there a show?"
"Well~~~~ We still need to work harder."
Lu Yan sat down to remove her makeup, lazily as if she was in a bad mood.
Seeing Lu Yan's appearance, Lu Zhen leaned over and rubbed her head: "What's wrong with you?"
"No, the performance is not very good."
"No, it's not good. Even the headmaster took the lead in standing up and applauding the song you sang to our dad just now."
Lu Yan wiped half of her eyeshadow, then turned her head and said to Lu Zhen, "This song is for you."
"Didn't you rap for Dad?"
"You are my father, you idiot!"
The corners of Lu Zhen's mouth twitched, and she rubbed Lu Yan's head: "My sister's brain is sometimes good and sometimes bad."
"..."
"Take off your makeup first, and I'll come back to you later."
"Don't come you..."
Just two minutes after Lu Zhen left, she hurried back and said excitedly, "Mom and Dad are here!"
Lu Yan stood up and was about to go out.
Lu Zhen grabbed her and said, "No, I can't go out."
"What's wrong?"
Lu Zhen looked around, came to the narrow and empty prop room, smiled slyly, and said to Lu Yan, "I have an idea!"
"What do you want!"
"It's rare for them to get together. I'm going to make a big deal. You just need to cooperate with me."
After Lu Zhen finished speaking, she couldn't help but stuff Lu Yan behind the curtain and let her hide.
"Don't mess around! They will be angry!"
Lu Zhen blinked at him: "Don't worry."
Lu Jian and Meng Zhining were really enemies. Lu Yan hid behind the curtain, and could hear their bickering from far away.
"Smelly man, don't follow me!"
"I came to see my daughter, who followed you!"
"You are 2 meters away from me."
"Don't make trouble for no reason!"
Lu Yan thought it was funny. Grandpa Lu Jian was always very serious at home. Even when dealing with Shi Xuexian, he seldom showed a relaxed smile, let alone such a relaxed laugh and curse.
The two walked into the dressing room. There was no Lu Yan in the dressing room, only Lu Zhen was standing at the door with a smile.
Meng Zhining asked, "Son, where is your sister?"
"Sister, she is moving things in the props room, parents, please help her."
"Stinky boy, you stand here carelessly and ask your sister to carry things, how do you act like a big brother!"
Lu Jian taught her son a lesson, and walked towards the props room first, and Meng Zhining quickly followed.
"Yanyan, mom is here to help you."
"Yanyan, dad is here to help you."
The two had just entered the props room when they heard a "bang", and the door of the props room was closed by Lu Zhen.
"Mom and Dad, this door seems to be broken, wait a minute, I'll find someone to open the door for you!"
Lu Zhen covered her mouth and smiled cheerfully.
When Lu Yan came out, he kept gesturing to her.
"Stinky boy, what are you doing, open the door!"
"Lu Zhen, open the door quickly, or you will see me!"
The props room is not big, and it is a bit cramped for two adults to stand in it.
"Don't touch me!" Meng Zhining said sharply, "I warn you, stay away from me."
When Lu Jian seldom got so angry, she knocked on the door of the props room: "Lu Zhen, I warn you, open the door quickly, your mother is claustrophobic, don't mess around!"
Lu Yan kept tugging at Lu Zhen's sleeve: "Open it quickly, stop making trouble, or I won't be able to save you when you go back to the board."
Lu Zhen whispered, "Just two minutes, two minutes is fine."
Meng Zhining squatted down slowly, hugged his knees and sat down, very nervous, trembling all over: "Quickly, I can't breathe soon."
"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Jian was anxious, she took off her suit and put it on Meng Zhining's body, wrapping her petite body: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Go away!"
Meng Zhining was so irritable that he pushed Lu Jian away: "It's so dirty."
"Dirty what dirty!"
"You're with a woman like that, don't fucking touch me!"
Lu Jian: ...
He stood up slowly, rubbed his forehead, quite helplessly: "I'm with her, isn't it because..."
He didn't say the rest.
Lu Yan and Lu Zhen looked at each other, feeling like they had screwed up.
Two minutes later, Lu Yan opened the door, and Lu Jian helped Meng Zhining up, and walked out of the narrow prop room.
"Where's your brother!"
Lu Yan blinked innocently: "He... ran away."
In this rookie cup talent competition, Lu Yan deservedly won the first place.
Who would have thought that Lu Zhen's sister, who was said to be a mentally handicapped child, would have such a natural voice. Not only that, under the spotlight, she is like the female version of Lu Zhen, with a pair of burning peach blossom eyes, captivating.
After seeing Lu Yan, those boys who refused to admit that Lu Zhen was handsome slapped themselves in the face.
Lu Yan received a reward of 2,000 yuan from the school.
Shu Mengfei stood in the second place, and the second place didn't have any rewards other than a trophy. She gritted her teeth, and the corners of her clothes were almost wrinkled.
This reward should have belonged to her.
Just when Lu Yan was receiving the certificate of honor, she suddenly heard a girl standing up and saying—
"Lu Yan's family is so rich, she doesn't need the 2,000 yuan at all."
Immediately a girl responded, "Yes, Fei Fei's family is not well-off, so the money should belong to Fei Fei."
"If I were the school leader, I would give the first prize to Lu Yan, but I would give the reward to Shu Mengfei."
"It's a reasonable arrangement."
…
Lu Yan looked at them and recognized that these girls were Shu Mengfei's girlfriends.
Lu Yan has personal experience that in this day and age, the mind is not very open, and the issue of rich and poor is actually quite sensitive.
Whoever is weak is justified, and twenty years later, he may be scolded bloody, but in the society at that time, in fact, most of the time, the weak were justified.
Since someone brought it up and everyone heard it, the school leaders can't say they didn't hear it.
The principal who presented the award was a fat middle-aged man. He coughed lightly and said, "We will give the first prize to Lu Yan for the wonderful performance she gave us today, but I believe that Lu Yan has a noble personality. Moral character, willing to donate this money to students who need help more.”
The audience applauded.
This is absolutely the absolute moral kidnapping.
The audience looked at Lu Yan with full expectation, hoping that she would donate the money to Shu Mengfei who needed help more.
Shu Mengfei didn't feel ashamed at all, but looked at Lu Yan proudly.
Lu Yan knew that this was to drive ducks to the shelves, and she had to donate the money, otherwise she would be criticized.
Lu Jian looked at Lu Yan and seemed to be encouraging her, asking her to donate the money to gain a good reputation as a helpful person.
Meng Zhining was also making eye contact with Lu Yan, saying that his mother would help her make up for the money.
Lu Yan pursed her lips lightly and said, "Okay, I am willing to donate this money to students who need help more."
Shu Mengfei bent her eyes triumphantly, walked up to Lu Yan, and said sincerely, "Thank you, I really appreciate it."
Lu Yan raised her jaw and gave her a cold look: "Did I say it was for you?"
As soon as these words came out, Shu Mengfei's face changed drastically: "What do you mean?"
"I want to donate this money to a classmate who needs help more, but not you." She looked Shu Mengfei up and down: "The price of the clothes on your body should not be less than five hundred."
What is the concept of five hundred, the price back then was almost one-tenth of that of Lu Yan's era, and five hundred was almost five thousand yuan.
Looking at it now, this price is incredible for students.
The classmates below whispered to each other and started talking.
Indeed, the fluffy purple dress that Shu Mengfei wore today looked extremely beautiful, and the price must be high.
Of course Lu Yan knew the price of this dress, because Lu Zhen bought it for Shu Mengfei. She heard from Liang Ting that every day after school, Shu Mengfei would stop when she passed the clothing counters in the commercial street. Look at this dress.
But she never asked Lu Zhen for it, and made Lu Zhen's idiot, straight man feel bad... After saving two months of pocket money, she even lied to her father that she wanted to buy this school supplies and that tutoring material, and finally got enough. The money bought this skirt for Shu Mengfei.
Lu Yan exposed the price of Shu Mengfei's dress in public. The school leaders and teachers didn't know the twists and turns of these underground romances, and a confused expression appeared on their faces.
But the classmates who knew Shu Mengfei's family background also almost guessed who bought this skirt for her.
Shu Mengfei gritted her teeth tightly, unable to get off the stage.
Lu Yan didn't leave a single step for her.
At this time, the school leader stood up and asked Lu Yan, "Then... Lu Yan, who do you want to give this reward money to who needs help?"
Lu Yan scanned the entire auditorium. She didn't know much about the family backgrounds of these strange students. The only one she was familiar with... was the man sitting at the end of the auditorium.
"I'm giving this money to..."
The word "Shen Kuo" was on the tip of his tongue, but at this moment, Shen Kuo stood up suddenly, with the corners of his eyes slightly curved, and said in a mocking voice—
"A group of people are here to force little girls to give away their hard-earned money. There is no such reason in this world."
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
At that time, there was no such thing as "moral kidnapping", and everyone was more happy to see such a plot of selfless dedication without asking for anything in return.
Lu Yan raised her head and looked at the boy sitting in the back row. He was leaning lazily on the armchair with one hand, with a cold smile on his face, looking frivolous and unruly, out of tune with the students around him.
He was the only one in the audience who was on Lu Yan's side.
At this time, Shu Mengfei's best friend muttered in a low voice: "What, I just went up to sing and sing. Talking about hard-earned money is too exaggerated."
Shen Kuo snorted coldly: "Then go up and sing and see if the money will fall into your hands."
It was the first time in that girl's life... that she was bullied by Shen Kuo, the most unprovoked lonely boy in the school. She blushed like a pig's liver, bowed her head and stopped talking.
The school leader immediately turned around and said: "The student in the back row is also reasonable. We can't force Lu Yan to donate the money. If this is wrong, then forget about it. If Lu Yan is interested, you can donate in private. Of course , It doesn’t matter if you don’t donate, ah, it doesn’t matter.”
Lu Yan had originally won this money for her father, Lu Zhen, and asked Lu Zhen to use it to pay back the last little money owed.
After the turmoil subsided, Lu Yan glanced at Shen Kuo gratefully. Shen Kuo didn't say anything. After the game, he turned and left the auditorium.
Feeling ashamed, Lu Yan immediately chased him out.
