Fortunately, it was a gentle downhill road to go home, otherwise Lu Yan really wasn't sure if she had enough strength to carry Shen Kuo back.
Shen Kuo was dizzy and her mind was not clear enough. She was afraid that he would fall down the road, so she let him hug her waist.
Whenever he wanted to let go, Lu Yan would pinch his hand and close it tightly.
On the downhill road, Lu Yan didn't need to step on it, but she just tried to stabilize her body balance as much as possible. She was afraid that Shen Kuo would fall asleep, so she kept talking to him to keep him awake.
After turning a few alley corners, he was finally brought home safely.
Shen Kuo stood at the door, seeming to be a little unsteady.
Lu Yan supported him: "Go in by yourself, can you?"
"Well, you can go."
Lu Yan took two steps, paused, and finally turned to him and asked, "Are you really going to drop out of school?"
Across the dim light in the alley, he couldn't see his expression clearly, only heard him muffled reply: "En."
"Why?"
"Guess." He smiled.
"Zhong Kai won't tell the reason, but he can guess some. Do you... want to prove yourself to someone?"
He didn't speak, and lowered his head slightly, in the shadows, he couldn't see his expression clearly.
The toe of Lu Yan's shoe touched the ground a little, and she said something different: "I saw that day, when you came out of the Academic Affairs Office, Shu Mengfei was still comforting you in the corridor."
Shen Kuo put his forehead against the wall and smiled slightly.
It's as stupid as it gets.
"Do you boys like Shu Mengfei?"
He didn't answer.
Lu Yan seemed very unconvinced: "I am not qualified to say anything more, who you like is your business, it has nothing to do with me, right
Shen Kuo let out a soft "hmm" as if he was talking in his sleep.
Like you is my business, nothing to do with you.
She persuasively said: "But the matter of dropping out of school can actually be discussed again, right?"
The boy didn't answer again.
Lu Yan sighed softly: "I know it's a wrong choice, but I still don't have the courage to tell you."
He looked up at her.
The girl half bit her moist lower lip, her brows were lowered, her eyes were tangled, and she was full of guilt.
She gently squeezed the corner of his clothes: "Even if you will become my enemy in the future, I should still do what I think is right, so Shen Kuo, you must...not drop out of school, you can't drop out of school no matter what you say Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
The society is so dangerous, if he leaves the campus at this time, the future road will be full of thorns for him, making it a thousand times more difficult.
And he will miss a lot of scenery.
All the wrinkles in Shen Kuo's heart were ironed out after the girl said this sentence.
"I'm drunk now." Shen Kuo's voice was hoarse: "Anything I promise you can't be counted."
Lu Yan walked over and said seriously: "You don't have to promise me anything, just trust me."
Shen Kuo closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised—
"Is it."
Lu Yan turned her head and said firmly: "As long as you don't drop out of school, you will have everything you want, just be more patient."
Shen Kuo suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, and rubbed it lightly.
Lu Yan felt itchy and flinched back.
His dark eyes looked at her deeply: "You have no idea what I want."
All I want... from beginning to end, is you.
**
As soon as Lu Yan got home, a valuable celadon vase was broken at her feet.
No need to think about it, Lu Zhen was scolded again.
"It doesn't matter if your grades are poor, you, you still change your grades, Lu Zhen, you can be stupid or stupid, but you can't change your mind!"
"I didn't change the score!"
Lu Jian threw the test paper in his face and said angrily, "I called your teacher in charge. You only got 38 in math. Now you get 88 here. Please explain to me how it came about!"
Lu Zhen saw that the bright red 3 on the test paper was added a few strokes, and it turned into an 8 directly.
He scratched his head and said angrily, "How would I know! Someone touched my test paper, and I didn't change it!"
Lu Jian obviously didn't believe his words: "Who can help you correct the test papers so kindly, you are so easy to fool when you are your father!"
Lu Zhen was really speechless, flushed with anger, and simply stood aside silently, no longer speaking.
If even a father doesn't believe in his children, then no one in this world will believe in him.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Lu Zhen's eyes.
Shi Xuexian pretended to dissuade Lu Jian, telling him not to do anything, and to reason with the child, but her witty words not only did not calm Lu Jian's anger, but added fuel to the fire.
"The child is still young, and he is spoiled and brought up by the son of a son, so there will inevitably be deviations in his actions. Besides, isn't it just changing the score? It's no big deal, and he hasn't done anything harmful to the world."
Lu Jian was so angry that she slapped the table: "Integrity is what we pay attention to in business. If he can't even do basic honesty, how dare I hand over the company to him! It's fine if it's not good, but you must never go wrong. After all, it was because I didn’t teach him well, which made him what he is now!”
These words fell right into Shi Xuexian's arms.
"Hey, don't be angry. Children rely on education for three points, and they still have to rely on themselves for seven points. Come on, Yaya, come here and show your test paper to Uncle Lu. Didn't you score 90 points in the test? Take it to make your Uncle Lu happy."
Before Shi Ya rushed downstairs excitedly, Lu Yan walked in first, took Lu Jian's hand, and sat beside him: "Grandpa, I went to grandma's house today, and grandma bought me a piano, next time I will play it." Here you go."
As soon as Lu Yan came back, most of Lu Jian's temper lost, and she even forgot about Shi Ya.
He held Lu Yan's slender wrist instead, and said, "If you want to play the piano, tell Dad, Dad will buy it for you, and you don't need her."
"Hey, grandpa is so kind to me."
"Silly girl."
Shi Ya stood at the stairs with her 90% test paper, obviously a little embarrassed, looking at her mother, then at Lu Jian.
The father and daughter are talking about family relationships together, and it seems that she has nothing to do. She will look stupid if she joins in at this moment.
Lu Yan talked about his grandfather, which made Lu Zhen beside him tremble with fear, for fear that Lu Jian might suspect something.
Fortunately, Lu Jian really regarded Lu Yan as her own daughter and didn't think much about it.
"How much did Yanyan score in the final exam?"
Shi Xuexian brought the topic back to the score, Lu Zhen's matter is not over yet!
"I didn't do well in the exam." Lu Yan smiled modestly.
Lu Jian said: "It doesn't matter, Yanyan just works hard, the result is not important."
"Well, I only got 93 in the math test, and it's only 3 points more than Sister Shi Ya."
Shi Xuexian's face collapsed.
Lu Yan played it so well, this move made her ashamed to show off Shi Ya's score.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Zhen asked with a serious face: "Didn't you promise me before the exam that you could get a full score? Why did you get 93 in the exam?"
"..."
With her father's stern tone, she felt as if she had returned to her previous life.
"What about Chinese, how much did you take?"
"Well, 81."
"Why did you take the 81 exam!"
"I didn't write the composition well."
Lu Yan was about to cry.
Lu Jian looked at the two brothers and sisters who were asking and answering this question without knowing why, and was quite puzzled. Why did Lu Zhen, the elder brother, seem to be trying to steal the role of his father from others!
"How fierce are you? Take care of your own affairs. It's not up to you to teach Yanyan a lesson no matter how much she gets in the test!"
Lu Jian finally stopped him.
Lu Zhen was a little depressed, dejected, and stood aside wearily.
Shi Xuexian couldn't help reminding Lu Jian again: "I think the matter of changing the score is more serious than cheating. As parents, we are also responsible, so don't blindly blame the children. Alas, it's all my fault." I was too busy, so I neglected the education of my children."
Lu Zhen sneered: "You are busy playing mahjong."
"You... Lu Zhen, don't interrupt the elders."
Lu Zhen looked at Shi Xuexian: "You are not qualified to be my elder."
"Shut up." Lu Jian interrupted him, and said disappointedly: "Okay, I can't control you anymore, let you fend for yourself."
Lu Zhen was in a bad mood when he was wronged, but when he heard Lu Jian say that he would let him die, he turned around and walked out.
Lu Yan quickly pulled him back: "Dad, calm down!"
"Yanyan, don't stop him, let him go." Lu Jian said with a sneer, "If he can persist for three days, he is considered a man."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhen became even more angry and rushed outside.
Lu Yan blocked the door and refused to let him leave.
Shi Xuexian also hurried over, pretending to be a loving mother, and was about to stop Lu Zhen: "Xiao Zhen, don't be a child, just listen to what your father says."
Lu Zhen pulled her hand away in disgust, but she didn't want Shi Xuexian to turn over and fall to the ground, crying out ouch.
Lu Zhen and Lu Yan stopped pulling and looked at each other, looking at Shi Xuexian who fell to the ground.
Lu Zhen could swear that he never used any force, let alone pushed Shi Xuexian.
Shi Xuexian had bruises on her white elbows, and her tight bun was messed up, making her very embarrassed.
The corners of her eyes turned red instantly, her eyes were slightly moist, and she looked at Lu Jian pitifully.
Lu Jian came over, pulled Shi Xuexian up, and looked at Lu Zhen furiously: "You actually did something to Auntie! What the hell!"
Lu Zhen defended: "I didn't do anything!"
Lu Yan was standing beside Lu Zhen at that time, and she could see clearly that Lu Zhen just pulled back her hand, and definitely did not push Shi Xuexian.
Shi Xuexian snuggled up behind Lu Jian like a bird, and said in a crying voice, "Don't blame the child, I accidentally fell."
Lu Zhen looked at her angrily, knowing that she was splashing dirty water, but she couldn't argue with it.
Lu Yan really feels that people in this era have watched too many dog blood TV series, why do they all love "touch porcelain" so much
Such things must have happened frequently in the past. How could Lu Zhen's straight steel man be Shi Xuexian's opponent.
Lu Yan said in a timely manner: "Grandma Shi is right. What I saw was that she accidentally tripped over the stool and fell down. Lu Zhen didn't push him."
Seeing that Lu Yan, who was always honest and honest, said the same thing, Lu Jian believed her words, and didn't care about Lu Zhen pushing Shi Xuexian anymore.
The corners of Shi Xuexian's eyes trembled slightly, as she looked at Lu Yan, a trace of coldness flashed across her eyes.
Lu Yan picked up Lu Zhen's revised math test paper, looked at it, and asked, "Dad, did you give your math test paper to anyone?"
"I didn't give it to anyone. With such a low score, no one could borrow my paper. When I brought it home, the score didn't change."
Lu Yan understood, so it is day and night defense, and it is difficult to guard against house thieves.
Lu Yan gave Shi Ya a meaningful look.
Shi Ya backed away guiltily.
Shi Xuexian looked at Lu Yan: "What do you mean, are you still saying that his family changed his score?"
"I did not say anything.
"By the way, I came back today and threw the study on the table, and then went out to play billiards. As soon as I came back, my father was waiting for me in the living room with my test paper that had been corrected."
Shi Ya kept giving Shi Xuexian winks, but Shi Xuexian didn't look at her.
Lu Yan suddenly raised her head and asked, "Shi Ya, what are you doing tonight?"
Shi Ya was suddenly caught by the cue, and said guiltily, "I, I'm doing my homework."
"Chinese or mathematics?"
"Chinese, oh no, mathematics."
Shi Xuexian yelled: "What's going on, what's going on, why did you start interrogating the prisoner?"
Lu Yan smiled and said, "No, I'm in the same class as Shi Ya. The math problems are so difficult. I want to borrow Shi Ya's math homework."
When Shi Ya heard this, she panicked.
Lu Jian said, "Shi Ya, go get your math homework and show it to my sister."
Shi Ya hesitated, Shi Xuexian was in a hurry, and urged: "Hurry up."
Shi Ya winked at her, suggesting to her: "I didn't do it."
Holding Lu Zhen's test paper in her hands, Lu Yan went straight upstairs and walked into Shi Ya's room. Shi Ya hurriedly chased after her: "What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, I'm just looking for your math homework."
"I...I don't want to lend it to you! I..."
Lu Yan was not looking for math homework, she grabbed Shi Ya's pencil case, took out a few red pens from it, and drew pictures on the notebook one by one.
found it.
Seeing that Lu Yan was holding the red pen in her hand, Shi Ya was so frightened that she almost fainted.
"Grandpa, the thickness and color of this red pen are exactly the same as the color of the changed score on Lu Zhen's paper."
Lu Yan handed the red pen and the test paper to Lu Jian. Lu Jian looked suspiciously, her face darkened, and she looked up at Shi Ya: "Explain."
Shi Ya shivered like a small animal being aimed at by a shotgun.
"I... I didn't do it on purpose. Lu Zhen is my elder brother. I will definitely be scolded when I see him do poorly in the exam, so I kindly help him change his score..."
Lu Zhen rolled her eyes, not believing that Shi Ya was out of kindness.
"I'm not your brother." He said coldly, "Never have been."
The skin on Shi Xuexian's face began to twitch. She didn't know that Shi Ya had done this, and thought that she finally caught Lu Zhen's handle, which would cause a gap in the relationship between Lu Jian and Lu Zhen's father and son.
You know, there is nothing that Lu Jian can't stand more than her son's character problems.
Who would have thought that this matter was actually framed by Shi Ya, and it was fine to set the blame, but it happened that people grabbed the little tail.
How stupid! How did she raise such a stupid daughter!
"Yaya is also kind." She could only forcefully smile and say to Lu Jian, "It's just that I did something wrong with good intentions."
"I did something wrong with good intentions, and almost got my dad kicked out of the house, but Grandma Shi was still fanning the flames." Lu Yan said angrily, "Lu Zhen really died unjustly."
A venomous look flashed across Shi Xuexian's eyes, and she started to play her tricks again, hiding her face and pretending to be wronged, and said, "My stepmother, everything I say or do is wrong."
Lu Yan interrupted her without hesitation: "It was a mistake."
Shi Xuexian wiped her tears aggrieved: "The elder taught the younger generation a lesson. What kind of talk does this make me want to be a mother to my children in the future!"
Lu Jian finally interrupted her, and said with a cold snort: "Enough, Shi Ya is not my daughter, but since she lives in our Lu family, she should abide by the rules. It is unforgivable to do such a thing."
Shi Ya was so frightened that her legs went limp, she fell to the ground, and tears flowed out.
"Uncle Lu, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
Lu Yan looked at her coldly, she admitted her mistake faster than anyone else, but so what, she deliberately framed Lu Zhen, there was a first time, there was a second time.
"Since Lu Zhen was almost kicked out of the house, I don't think... the culprit can stay at home."
As soon as Lu Yan finished speaking, Shi Xuexian's expression suddenly changed: "Yaya can't leave, she has no place to live!"
"Grandma Shi, don't you have a brother? Let Shi Ya live in her little uncle's house. It's fine."
Shi Xuexian looked at Lu Yan with viciousness in her eyes.
Lu Yan clearly wanted to declare war on her. Shi Xuexian could clearly feel that this little girl was definitely not the retarded daughter Lu Yan who was lost back then.
Lu Jian said: "Shi Ya, go back to the room and pack your things."
"No, don't drive her away! Her uncle is not a good person, she is a girl, and there will be problems if she is left behind!"
Lu Yan knew that Shi Xuexian's family valued boys over girls, and she was a "brother-supporting demon". Her brother took advantage of everything, but his brother didn't treat her well, and always regarded Shi Xuexian, who was born out of marriage, as a disgrace to the family .
But at any rate, she also bought her brother a house in Beicheng. Shi Ya left the Lu family and had a place to live.
Lu Jian kicked Lu Zhen a few times just now in a rage, and now seeing him standing in the corner so aggrieved, she was also secretly annoyed, it was very unpleasant.
"Shi Ya, go to the room to pack things immediately."
Lu Jian issued an ultimatum, so Shi Ya had to leave crying with her luggage.
Shi Xuexian saw that Lu Jian was really angry, so she could only send Shi Ya to her uncle's house first, and then she would blow pillows with Lu Jian later, trying to bring Shi Ya back.
You know, after going to that ineffective uncle's house, life is not as comfortable as living in the Lu family's big villa.
After the mother and daughter left, Lu Jian glanced at Lu Zhen who was standing by the wall with her hands behind her back, and said very unnaturally, "Lu Zhen, this time it's... cough, I misunderstood you."
Lu Zhen rubbed her nose and said nothing.
He was still on fire.
Lu Yan said: "You taught us that we should apologize when we made a mistake, and you should also apologize for wronging Lu Zhen."
Lu Jian pursed her thin lips and said nothing.
At that time, there was no such thing as equality in the concept of education. As the head of the family, as a dignified father, he would never apologize to his son.
Because parents are always right.
"Although this matter is Shi Ya's fault, you are also at fault!" Lu Jian poked at the test paper on the table: "It's just such a low score! How dare you! Go back to your room and reflect!"
"grandfather... "
Lu Zhen glanced at Lu Jian in disappointment, and carried Lu Yan upstairs who was still about to speak: "Forget it, Xiao Yan, you should never expect your grandpa to apologize."
Lu Jian: ...
What's the matter, he really became a grandfather! Everyone's brains are broken, right
At night, Lu Zhen didn't sleep, and sat alone on the balcony railing, sulking.
Lu Yan walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "Dad, we're not sad, it's okay."
"Who is sad?" Lu Zhen said angrily: "I don't pay attention to the mother and daughter at all, I just feel uncomfortable."
"I know... "
She understands Lu Zhen's current mood so well. Her father should be her closest person, but he doesn't understand her.
This feeling... Lu Yan also had it before.
She likes to sing and longs for her voice to be known by more people, but Lu Zhen stubbornly suppresses her dream and even threatens to sign with her agency.
Lu Yan also "made a big fuss" at home, saying that Lu Zhen didn't understand her at all, she was a faxie at all, and she even said that she didn't want him to be her father!
Lu Zhen back then was never the same as Lu Jian now.
Sometimes being parents... is actually pretty bad. If you don't understand each other, the conflict will only intensify.
Lu Yan patted Lu Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be full of resentment, you treated me more than grandpa!"
Lu Zhen looked at her for a long time, and said firmly: "Absolutely impossible!"
It is absolutely impossible for him to become a father like Lu Jian.
Lu Yan patted the top of his forehead: "You still don't admit it, do you?"
"It's reversed! Dare to slap your dad on the head!"
Lu Zhen grabbed her two slender wrists, put them together, and tickled her.
Lu Yan giggled and said, "Hey, don't bully people!"
The two quarreled for a while, and Lu Zhen felt much better, and asked Lu Yan uncertainly: "Is it really that bad that I am... a father?"
"In high school, the one time I slammed a big check on the face of the boy I liked, it really sucked."
Lu Zhen: ...
"Mainly... your 'high value' check was written for 100 yuan, do you know how long this incident made me laugh at school!"
Lu Zhen retorted: "100 yuan is a lot, okay?"
"You put 100 yuan and try it after twenty years!"
The two of them quarreled for a while, with about a hundred yuan, until Lu Jian's voice sounded from the study: "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you brothers and sisters arguing?"
Lu Yan and Lu Zhen looked at each other and quickly fell silent.
It is not easy for father and daughter to become siblings and even friends for many years.
"Okay, it's fine if you don't admit it, I forgive you anyway."
When she was about to die, she had already forgiven her father for all his arbitrariness, because compared to the pain of death, any dreams were not worth mentioning.
Family is always the most important.
"I feel very satisfied to be able to return to my father's side again."
Lu Yan stretched out her hand, grabbed Lu Zhen's cheek, and pulled a smiling face: "So don't make a bitter face."
Lu Zhen didn't smile, he was silent for a moment, and put his hand heavily on Lu Yan's shoulder.
"From now on, Dad will support you in whatever you like to do."
Lu Yan looked at him in surprise, and he said firmly, "I want to be the best dad in the world."
