Lu Zhen carried Ye Jiaqi, who was so drunk and unconscious, back to Ye's house, was exhausted, and secretly scolded Lu Yan, a girl who had no loyalty, and left him alone in the movie theater.
He walked to the side of the road and was about to hailed the car to go home. At this time, he received a call from Qin Hao asking him to come to the bar to play.
"I'm ready to go back."
"Christmas Eve tonight, everyone is playing outside, why go back so early, help your daughter with her homework?"
"Damn it." Lu Zhen cursed, then asked, "Where is it?"
"A new bar has opened on Entertainment Street, and I heard that a band has been invited to perform."
"Okay, wait for me."
Lu Zhen is also a fun-loving person. It was only eight o'clock, and he didn't want to go home so early, so he simply hailed a car and went straight to the new bar on Entertainment Street.
Liang Ting waved to him from the booth: "Here!"
Lu Zhen walked over, Liang Ting asked him: "I called you just now but didn't answer, what are you doing?"
"Forget it, I just sent Ye Jiaqi back."
"You sent him back?"
Liang Ting smiled: "Since when did the relationship between you two get so good?"
"I can't just throw this drunk on the street."
"Ye Jiaqi, can he drink alcohol?"
Lu Zhen briefly explained what happened, Liang Ting heard the clue, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid he let Shen Kuo play tricks."
"I don't know, anyway, I don't like them both."
Lu Zhen seemed to have remembered something, and said to Liang Ting mysteriously, "I feel that my daughter may have fallen in love with Ye Jiaqi again."
Liang Ting choked on his beer and coughed: "He, how can I see it."
"I don't know, I feel that girls don't like this kind of little boy now."
Liang Ting poured a glass of wine for Lu Zhen, and laughed: "Are you stupid, I really can't see that your daughter has been right..."
"Right what?"
"Forget it, it's nothing." Liang Ting pointed to the stage and said, "A new band will come to sing later, I heard it's quite popular."
Lu Zhen was not very interested in these things, so she lazily collapsed on the sofa of the booth and sent a text message to Lu Yan, asking her if she was home.
But Lu Yan didn't call him back, and didn't answer the call. Lu Zhen was obviously a little annoyed, so she called the landline at home again.
"Damn girl, she must have not come home, I don't know where she went to fool around again."
Liang Ting said with a smile: "You don't care what they do, they are all sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, they don't have their own night life."
"What a nightlife, she dares..." Lu Zhen said, "You don't have a daughter, so you don't understand how I feel."
No matter how old she is, she is also his daughter.
Liang Ting said: "Don't tell me, even though that girl Xiaoyan is the same age as us, I really treat her as my daughter. Isn't it amazing?"
Lu Yan smiled: "You'd better treat her like a daughter forever, don't make any wrong decisions."
"I wasn't thinking about it."
Qin Hao looked at Liang Ting, then at Lu Zhen, and asked foolishly, "Then I can't change my mind?"
Lu Zhen slapped the back of his head: "What are you thinking about!"
"I really like Xiaoyan, but she doesn't like me."
"Grass! Beast!"
"It's not human at all!"
"Hit him!"
Several boys started to fight, and at this time, the band came to the stage, and a faint smoky voice came over—
"Hi everyone, I'm Jian Yao, please listen to the performance brought by our wild wolf band."
Hearing the word "Jian Yao", Lu Zhen froze suddenly, and turned to the stage with a stiff neck.
The girl on the stage was wearing a gray T-shirt with rough edges. The T-shirt tightly outlined her slender waist, revealing her flat navel. The lower body is wearing loose casual pants, with a pair of Martin boots.
super cool.
Lu Zhen stared straight at her, dumbfounded.
Qin Hao's hand landed in front of Lu Zhen and waved: "Brother Lu, what are you looking at!"
"It turned out to be her." Lu Zhen murmured in despair, "It's her..."
Liang Ting followed his gaze to the girl on the stage: "Who is she?"
"My wife."
"Pfft!" The beer from Qin Hao's mouth sprayed out, spraying Lu Zhen all over his face: "You are too straightforward."
Only then did Lu Zhen regain her senses a little, stood up and walked to the front of the stage, stood at the position closest to her under the stage, and looked up at her.
Liang Ting and Qin Hao looked at his idiot back, and looked at each other.
"What did she say her name was?"
"I don't remember." Qin Hao pulled a man beside him and asked, "What's the name of the girl on the stage?"
The man said: "You don't know her! Jian Yao, the lead singer of the wolf band, she often goes to bars to sing, and many people know her."
"Jian Yao..."
Liang Ting muttered the name, opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at the girl on the stage. The girl was holding the guitar, playing and singing "The Wind Continues to Blow" softly.
Qin Hao patted Liang Ting's face and said, "Are you looking stupid too?"
Liang Ting turned his head, glanced at him, and said, "Do you know who that cool girl on stage is?"
"Who is it?"
"Lu Yan's mother."
…
Jian Yao's timbre is excellent, whether she sings folk songs, pop songs, or rock, they are all pleasant to hear, and her personal style is strong, which drives the atmosphere of the scene very well.
When Jian Yao was singing, she looked down from time to time and saw Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen propped her elbows on the stage, looking at her with a smile.
Seeing her looking over, he waved at her reservedly.
Jian Yao rolled her eyes, who listens to the music so close, and is not afraid that the sound next to her will burst her eardrums.
She played a heavy note, and Lu Zhen immediately covered her ears, then opened her mouth, as if hurt by the sound wave.
There was a slight smile on the corner of Jian Yao's mouth, but after Lu Zhenwang came over, she immediately recovered her indifferent expression.
There will be a box at the front desk of the resident singer in the bar. If the customer is satisfied with the listening, you can also give some tips. But at that time, there were not many people who gave tips, and there were only a few dollars scattered in Jian Yao's box throughout the night.
Lu Zhen turned her back, took out her wallet and looked at it, then went back to her booth, and asked Liang Ting, "Have you brought any money?"
"Didn't you bring it?"
"Bring it, it's not enough, lend me some."
Liang Ting looked at his wallet, and there was only about ten yuan in it.
"How come you are so poor?"
"Just emptied my daughter-in-law."
Liang Ting was also considered a son of a rich family, so he took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to Lu Zhen, patted him on the shoulder: "Sister-in-law is very upright."
"of course."
…
After the singing, Jian Yao and her bandmates got paid and sat in a remote booth drinking and chatting.
Lu Zhen's eyes were on her all night. Of course, several bandmates around her also noticed him.
"Master Jian, do you know that man?"
Jian Yao took a sip of beer, and cast a casual glance at Lu Zhen with her long and narrow Danfeng eyes: "He's from school, I've met him a few times."
"The shot is quite generous, and the tip is higher than our appearance fee."
Jian Yao withdrew her gaze and said lightly, "Silly.bi."
Stupid Lu Zhen certainly didn't know what they were talking about, but he noticed that Jian Yao and those men were smoking and drinking, and the beer was filled with ice cubes... He couldn't see it, so he went straight to them At the booth, she said to Jian Yao, "You...don't drink these few days."
His words naturally had deep meaning, this morning Jian Yao was just trapped in the toilet by "that" and asked him to buy sanitary napkins, and now she is drinking and smoking here.
Lu Zhen's family also had a daughter, and she knew that girls were very expensive in those days, and they couldn't wash their hair and touch cold water, let alone drink cold drinks.
Jian Yao looked at the young man's swollen cheeks, raised the corner of her mouth, let out a snort, and ignored him.
Lu Zhen was a little embarrassed, but she didn't leave, and just stood by their booth in a daze.
A boy with an afro in the band couldn't see it anymore, and taunted Lu Zhen: "Your family manages the Pacific Ocean? It's really lenient."
"she is me... "
"Wife" almost blurted out, but he swallowed it back abruptly, choking out the word "classmate".
The afro stood up and said, "Are you stupid? It's our master Jian who is in charge of the world."
"Master Jian?" Lu Zhen smacked these two words and looked at Jian Yao: "A man?"
Jian Yao looked at him frankly and raised her eyebrows.
That's right, Master Jane.
The boys around were all amused by Lu Zhen's silly look: "Where did you come from, is there something wrong with your brain?"
"Go away, don't fucking affect my brothers' drinking."
"Relying on the fact that I have two stinky money, it's great. I don't like you rich young masters the most."
Most of the teenagers in the band were rebellious and hated the rich, so naturally they couldn't understand a rich young man like Lu Zhen.
Liang Ting and Qin Hao had a quarrel here, so they hurried over and stood beside Lu Zhen to support him.
Qin Hao said: "What's the matter, the rich are still messing with you!"
"You want to fight, don't you?" The boys in the band are also very young, and they are all teenagers at heart.
Jian Yao finally stood up, walked to Lu Zhen's side, grabbed his collar, and slowly pulled him closer to her.
Lu Zhen took a tight breath, stared at her gradually enlarged exquisite facial features with wide eyes, flustered: "You... what are you doing!"
"Come out and talk."
Jian Yao pulled his collar, like pulling a dog, and dragged him out of the bar.
This girl is so strong that Lu Zhen crawled out of the door.
There was light snow falling in the sky, and when the cold wind blew, Jian Yao couldn't bear the thin clothes on her body, and she let out a "hiss"—
"Grass, why is it snowing?"
Seeing this, Lu Zhen decisively took off her down jacket and wrapped it around the girl's thin body.
Jian Yao originally wanted to refuse, but wearing his warm down jacket, it was as warm as coming to heaven.
Down jackets are soft, light, and comfortable, and definitely not cheap.
Jian Yao has never worn a warm down jacket, and she is a bit reluctant to take it off.
Lu Zhen wore a thin black cashmere sweater as his base, which showed off his burly figure, but it was... quite tangible.
Jian Yao sized him up and asked, "So, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Does your stomach hurt?" Lu Zhen asked her with concern: "My girl... er, my sister, every time that happens, she rolls on the bed in pain, I see you still drink cold beer... "
Jian Yao said helplessly: "Not every girl has a stomachache."
She's not that expensive either.
"Then you'd better pay attention." Lu Zhen said, "Don't drink something cold. Also, girls are outside alone, so don't drink."
Jian Yao looked up at him, his brows were frank and his eyes were clear, but he cared about her from the bottom of his heart.
A little moved.
"What's your name?"
Lu Zhen straightened his collar immediately, and said solemnly, "Let me introduce formally. My name is Lu Zhen. I'm 18 this year. How are you?"
"Hello, Jian Yao."
Jian Yao patted his palm lightly, and shook hands at that time.
Lu Zhen's dog's paw grabbed her: "Maybe you think it's a bit sudden, but I still want to tell you that I am your future husband."
"..."
The girl's figure faded away, Liang Ting walked out of the bar, looked at the flushed five-finger slap marks on Lu Zhen's face, shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law...you are really a character."
For the time being, Lu Zhen didn't tell Lu Yan about meeting her mother. At the same time, she asked Liang Ting and Qin Hao to keep it a secret, not to mention it.
Liang Ting couldn't understand: "Why don't you tell me, that little girl Lu Yan has been asking for news about her mother, and now that she has finally met her, she should let her know."
"That girl is as impulsive as I am, I don't want her to be like me..."
Lu Zhen touched the slap marks on her face: "In short, this matter has to be done slowly, don't scare people, first impression is very important, don't let her think that our family is not normal."
Liang Ting said with a smile: "Xiaoyan may still be... more stable than you."
The winter vacation is approaching, the final exam of the third grade is released, the campus announcement wall is full of students looking at their scores, Lu Yan managed to squeeze in, and she didn't even need to count, Shen Kuo ranked first in the top hundred honor list.
Lu Yan stood on tiptoe to look at his scores in each subject and the total score. It was really amazing. His total score was 28 points higher than the second place Ye Jiaqi, and even his weakest English score had already surpassed up.
Looking at this result in the city, it is definitely among the best.
No wonder Zhong Kai talks about scientists all day long. It's a pity that Shen Kuo doesn't devote himself to the scientific construction of the motherland.
But after careful calculation, the Internet technology field he will be engaged in in the future will also truly change people's lives.
Lu Yan squeezed out of the crowd and saw Shen Kuo walking on the boulevard leading out of the school with a satchel on his back.
He was wearing a light gray turtleneck sweater, which made his shoulders wider and his waist narrower. The ordinary black trousers outlined his tall and slender legs.
Under the bright sunlight in winter, a few strands of his clean and neat short hair hang down slightly, falling in front of his dark eyes, finely broken.
Lu Yan ran after him and asked him, "Shen Kuo, have you checked the score?"
Shen Kuo looked back at the bulletin board and said, "Too many people."
He has always disliked going to crowded places to join in the fun.
Lu Yan said excitedly: "I helped you to see it, and it's number one again."
"Um."
Shen Kuo didn't seem to be too surprised. He had expected this result, but he asked again, "How much is Ye Jiaqi's score?"
"You are 28 points less!" Lu Yan knew that Chen Kuo was concerned about this, so she calculated the total score difference for him specially: "The total scores of the top ten are all very tight, and they are all a few points away. You opened up the score of 28 points." The gap is really unique."
Shen Kuo said indifferently: "It's not too much. Before he came, my highest record was 52 points."
Lu Yan smiled and said, "Ye Jiaqi is also very smart. I heard from Uncle Ye that he received a scholarship every year in high school in the United States."
Shen Kuo didn't say a word, stopped and turned to look at her: "How are you?"
"what."
"How many points?"
"I... I forgot to look."
Only then did she realize that she came here to check the score, but forgot her score. This is also... too deliberate.
Lu Yan bit her tongue in great annoyance: "Anyway, my grades have always been like that, neither good nor bad. This time I will definitely stay in the top fifty of my grade."
He asked her, "Which university did you go to?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll see when the time comes. See which school my score is enough to apply for. I have no goal."
Lu Yan shrugged indifferently: "Anyway, it's still early, and I'm only a sophomore in high school."
"It's not too early. Your grades are too bad. If you don't hurry up now, you will fail the exam."
"Don't curse me." Lu Yan patted Shen Kuo's waist as punishment: "With my grades, I will definitely be admitted to a key university."
Shen Kuo lowered his eyes, stepped on the tiny light spots and dead leaves on the ground, and said lightly: "But I can't get into Q University."
Q University is one of the top universities in the country, comparable to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and even some majors have higher scores.
Lu Yan's score is definitely not enough for the admission score of Q University.
Lu Yan said that she is very Buddhist: "If I can get the score line of Q University, why don't I apply for Tsinghua University and Peking University?"
"Because I will apply for Q University."
Lu Yan's footsteps stopped suddenly, and a gust of wind blew up, rustling the treetops.
He will report to Q University, of course.
In the last life, Shen Kuo studied the most powerful computer major in Q University. With his grades, there is no problem in applying for Q University.
"I will apply for Q University." Shen Kuo looked at her and said calmly, "So in the last year, you have to work hard."
Lu Yan's heart suddenly became hot, and her earlobes were also red. She whispered, "I, why should I work so hard."
Shen Kuo showed his face slightly, and asked seriously: "You don't want to go to the same university as me?"
At this moment, Lu Yan could even hear her own heartbeat as she ran 800 yards faster, her voice was dry and hoarse, she was so nervous that she didn't know what to say, she couldn't say a word.
Shen Kuo raised his eyes and looked at the mountain pass in the distance, and continued: "If you want to go to the same university as me, you have to work hard in the last year."
"Shen Kuo, what do you mean?"
She bit her lower lip and lowered her feverish cheeks, not daring to look at him.
Emotionally.
"You know what I mean." Shen Kuo lightly touched the back of her hand with his fingertips, but it took only a moment before he took it back.
"Lu Yan, if it's something I believe in, I will never give up in my life."
His low and calm tone sounded slowly—
"So after all this time, I really mustered up the courage and made up my mind."
Lu Yan felt that her heart was about to explode.
Take courage and make up your mind.
Is it a confession, why at such an ordinary moment, the confession she imagined must be under the romantic starry sky, or in the quiet garden in the afternoon, with flowers and gifts...
No, no, none of this is important, not important at all, as long as it is the man in front of him, it doesn't matter even if he is at the toilet door...
Toilet, why does she want a toilet!
Ah, going crazy!
"Lu Yan." He called her: "Are you listening to me?"
"I'm, I'm listening." Lu Yan's hand tightly picked at the hole in her sweater, forcing herself to focus: "You said the toilet door."
Shen Kuo was helpless: "I said I made a decision..."
"Oh oh oh! Make up your mind..."
He is confessing! He must be confessing!
"Maybe you'll meet someone better than me..."
"Not anymore!"
Lu Yan, who heard this sentence, reacted fairly quickly, repeatedly vetoing: "No, there will be no one better than you."
The corner of the boy's mouth slightly raised: "Listen to me."
"you say."
"Maybe you will meet someone better than me, because the current Shen Kuo is not the best Shen Kuo."
There was a determined and confident light in his eyes——
"But the future Shen Kuo will never let you down."
Lu Yan's eyes were a little hot, she knew too well what Shen Kuo would be like in the future, and the peak he had climbed was a height that no one else could reach.
Lu Yan shook her head, and suddenly grabbed his wrist: "You are wrong, Shen Kuo, you are the best now."
Shen Kuo looked down at the back of her fair hand and smiled wryly: "What's the point now."
In the juvenile period of confusion and hardship, life is a mess, there is no way to advance or retreat, what can be good.
"Anyway, I like you better now."
Hardworking, sincere and enthusiastic you.
He pinched her hand back and shook it hard. Lu Yan could feel the sweat on his palm, and he was also very nervous.
After a few seconds, he reservedly released her.
Lu Yan found out that Shen Kuo's self-control is really amazing, and he is very good at disguising, his surface is calm and calm, no one can guess his thoughts.
Lu Yan also withdrew her hand, rubbed her arms, and said nervously: "Although it is a bit difficult, I will definitely try my best to catch up with you. I also want to go to the same university as you."
"Um."
"Then... Shall I check my score?"
She turned around and wanted to run away, but Shen Kuo's arm suddenly stretched out from behind, wrapped around her collarbone, and tightened her tightly into his arms.
Lu Yan was caught off guard and leaned against his flat and tight waist.
His deep voice rang in her ears: "Is it settled?"
Lu Yan felt his breath scratching her temples lightly, looked up, and the sun shone through the treetops.
"deal."
