In those few nights, Lu Yan always came home very late, and Jian Yao would often take her to the bar to perform, let her make guest appearances, and even invited her to join the band and make music together.
Lu Yan readily agreed.
All in all, she had to keep herself busy, she had to do something to distract her.
Perhaps lovelorn always has sequelae, Lu Yan can't stay at home all day, as long as she is quiet and alone, the shadow of that man will always appear in her mind... lingering.
He once gave her such an unforgettable love, but he told her that it was fake.
Yeah, fake.
Shen Kuo's father contracted that disease because he worked in the Lu family. With Shen Kuo's character of vengeance, how could he really like her.
He has been lying to her all along.
Just thinking of these things made Lu Yan's heart feel like a knife.
That night, Lu Zhen pulled the drunk girl out of the Green Vine Bar.
Her mind was in a daze, she couldn't stand firmly, she was leaning against the wall, half asleep and half awake.
This summer vacation was supposed to be Lu Zhen's most relaxing and self-indulgent summer vacation, but most of his daily time was spent looking for his daughter.
Although he knew that Jian Yao was watching her, Lu Zhen was still worried. He was even more annoyed when he saw that the little girl was still drinking today.
"Lu Yan is underage." He turned around and asked Jian Yao, "You let her drink?"
Jian Yao, who was wearing a vest and loose trousers, was leaning against the door, seemingly helpless: "She changed the drink for wine, I really didn't notice it just now, sorry."
"How could you miss it? I agree to let her go out with you to relax, not to drink!"
"Drink some wine, it's no big deal."
Jian Yao shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "I was drunk for three days after falling out of love, and when I woke up, I immediately forgot about that man."
Lu Zhen looked at her: "Have you ever been broken in love?"
"Who hasn't lost love yet."
"Who is that man?"
Jian Yao frowned: "Hey, why should I tell you?"
"You have to tell me."
"You... are so unreasonable. If it wasn't for Xiaoyan's sake, I wouldn't even talk to you."
Lu Zhen completely forgot what he was here for. All he could think about was who Jian Yao had dumped in the past, and who was so blind that he dared to dump his wife!
Lu Yan suddenly bowed and leaned against the wall to vomit.
The two immediately stopped their quarrel and ran over to help Lu Yan.
Lu Yan vomited until her tears and snot flowed out, her stomach convulsed intermittently, she was embarrassed and ugly.
Lu Zhen didn't care about getting dirty, so she wiped her face with her sleeve, and said distressedly: "It's not bad, slow down, don't choke."
Lu Yan slowed down for a while, and then she felt a little more comfortable.
Jian Yao also blamed herself, after all, it was her negligence that allowed this little girl to drink secretly.
"Take her back quickly, it's a pity."
Lu Yan shook off Lu Zhen's hand: "No, I won't go back, I haven't played enough yet."
"Still playing? Missy, don't forget that the tutoring for the third grade will start tomorrow. Do you still want to take the Q major?"
When it came to Q University, Lu Yan suddenly fell silent.
She stood with her back to them, under the street lamp, her back was thin.
At the beginning, Shen Kuo said that he was going to take the Q University exam and wanted to go to the same university as her.
For these words, Lu Yan has been working hard to catch up with him.
Going to college together, what a beautiful expectation, but now, things are different, so absurd...
Jian Yao kicked Lu Zhen's calf with the tip of her shoe, and said in a low voice, "Which pot doesn't open and which pot is lifted, are you a pig!"
Lu Zhen consciously made a slip of the tongue, hurried over and grabbed the girl's slender wrist: "Forget it, go home first."
"I don't take the Q major." Lu Yan broke away from his hand and murmured, "I don't take the exam."
Like coaxing a child, Jian Yao coaxed her patiently: "No exam, no exam, let's not go to that poor school, let's go to Tsinghua University, Peking University, ah, don't feel bad..."
Hearing a loud "kuang", Jian Yao was startled, and turned around to see Lu Zhen kicking over the trash can by the side of the road.
"Why are you crazy!"
Finally, Lu Zhen couldn't take it anymore, pointed at Lu Yan, and said angrily: "For such a rotten person, look at what you look like now, this is your own life, do you have half a dime relationship with others? Without him, you would be I'm not alive anymore!"
"Lu Yan, you really let me down like this."
Lu Yan lowered her head, buried her face in the shadow of the light, unable to see her expression clearly.
"Are you disappointed." She said in a hoarse voice, "I'm also disappointed in myself, you know, I'm really disappointed."
She squatted helplessly by the side of the road hugging her body, and murmured: "It's really ridiculous, knowing that he lied to me for so long, knowing that he hates me and the Lu family, but I... just like him. .. ”
Tears fell down and fell to the ground, soaking in the dust in an instant.
She said intermittently: "I will never like anyone like this again in this life, never again in this life."
"Even if he lied to me, I can't hate him. He lied to me. Why don't he lie to me for a little longer..."
In the past, Lu Yan herself looked down on those girls who would die for love.
Isn't it just a broken love? It can be a big deal, and it's another hero to get through it.
Perhaps, only the "inflicted harm" party can flip the story in such an understatement.
For example, Shen Kuo, he has been admitted to the provincial champion.
Lu Zhen couldn't see her daughter cry, it was worse than killing him.
He knelt down, wiped her tears with his sleeve awkwardly, hugged and coaxed her, and whispered these useless comforting words.
"Isn't it just a boyfriend? Read it later, I'll help you find it, and I'll definitely find you the one you want."
"Didn't you still like Liang Ting before? Why don't you go back and think about him again. This time I don't object."
"If you're looking for a handsome boy like Shen Kuo, then...Ye Jiaqi will do too!"
…
Jian Yao stared at Lu Zhen coaxing the girl, a wave appeared in her hazel eyes.
Although he is a bit stupid and has a bad temper, he is a gentle person at heart.
Tired of crying, Lu Yan finally climbed onto Lu Zhen's back obediently, and obediently lay on his solid and broad shoulders: "Lu Zhen, I want to go home."
"Well, I'll take you home."
He carried Lu Yan on his back steadily, looked back at Jian Yao, and said in a commanding tone: "You also go home."
Like a child, Jian Yao shrugged casually: "Just take care of Lu Yan, why bother with me."
"Of course I want to take care of you."
You are my wife and the mother of my children.
He didn't dare to say the last half of the sentence, the scene of being beaten last time is still vivid in his memory.
Lu Zhen stretched out her hand, and lifted up the zipper of Jian Yao's open collar, covering her fair and slender neck.
Oddly enough...Jian Yao actually let him do this.
A strange feeling came to my heart.
She felt that the boy in front of her was different from when she first met.
"In the future, you won't be broken in love again." Lu Zhen said this without thinking.
Jian Yao didn't respond: "What?"
"Follow me, and you won't be broken in love."
"..."
She laughed and hit him with her handbag: "Go to hell with you."
Lu Zhen also laughed, because of those peach blossom eyes, he smiled very beautifully, inexplicably giving people a feeling of spring blossoms.
He can become the school grass of No. 3 Middle School, which shows that the girls in the school are not blind...
This guy is really handsome.
Before Jian Yao came back to her senses, Lu Zhen suddenly reached out and patted her head—
"Let's go, go home early."
The movements were so natural that Jian Yao was a little caught off guard.
Until he walked a long way with the girl on his back, she touched her forehead in a daze...the warmth of his palm still remained.
She went back to the bar, and when she turned around, she saw Qiao Nan leaning against the door, looking at her with complicated eyes.
Jian Yao was inexplicably guilty when he looked at her: "Come home after work."
"So early?"
"Well, the school has summer tuition tomorrow."
Of course, Qiao Nan didn't believe that Jian Yao would care about such things as summer tutoring, she never cared much about study.
"It's because he told you to go home early, why are you listening to that guy so much!"
"You are noisy!"
"You can't hide it from me." Qiao Nan insisted: "Lu Zhen, a wealthy young man, has never been with us."
"Don't be self-righteous."
Jian Yao touched his chest with her fingertips, stopped him from following up, carried her bag, and left gracefully.
Lu Zhen returned home with Lu Yan on her back, handed her over to Aunt Li, and ordered her to clean up and let her go to sleep first.
He went out, hailed a taxi, and came to Shen Kuo's house.
There are many scratches left by the years on the wooden door, the windows are half open and half closed, and there is no light in the room, so it is not known whether there is anyone inside.
Lu Zhen paced back and forth in front of the door, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and his anger surged up. He walked to the door and raised his foot to kick the door.
He had already lifted his foot into the air, but he still didn't kick it down. He gritted his teeth and pulled it back.
"Oh shit."
He cursed in a low voice.
Not cowardly, just guilty.
When he heard that Shen Kuo's father fell ill because of Lu's cement factory, he recalled many things in the past.
His growing years are always related to that guy. On the surface, it seems that Lu Zhen is bullying Shen Kuo every time, but only Lu Zhen knows in his heart that it is Shen Kuo...
It was Shen Kuo who was framing him.
Every time he was punished by the teacher or misunderstood by his classmates, he could always see Shen Kuo smiling at him, that sinister...creepy smile.
At first, he thought that Shen Kuo was jealous of him, his family background and even his appearance...
But now that the truth is revealed, I realize how ridiculous those naive conjectures were.
It was their Lu family... who caused the tragedy of his life.
Lu Zhen bit her lower lip tightly, held back her anger, turned and left.
However, as soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, he saw Shen Kuo appearing in front of the narrow alley carrying a white plastic bag.
A wad of yellow paper money and two strings of fake ingots were contained in a white plastic bag.
Seeing each other suddenly, both of them's hearts skipped a beat.
With a calm face, Shen Kuo asked, "What's the matter?"
My daughter has lost a lot of weight because of this man, and he still looks like a normal person. Lu Zhen is furious, but he doesn't want to be as impulsive as before.
He questioned: "You can blame my dad, you can blame me, even everything you did to me in the past... I don't care, but what do you mean by bullying Lu Yan?"
In the last few words, he gritted his teeth between his lips and tongue.
Shen Kuo let out a snort, "If I really want to bully her, she won't be just crying."
After he finished speaking, he brushed past Lu Zhen and bumped him hard on the shoulder.
Lu Zhen was stimulated by his words. He couldn't imagine what a scary guy like Shen Kuo planned to do to Lu Yan!
He turned around abruptly, jumped onto Shen Kuo's shoulder, and threw him heavily to the ground.
Lu Zhen clutched his collar, his hands clenched into fists.
He gasped, staring at Shen Kuo angrily—
"Do you have any fucking humanity! She doesn't understand anything, why do you bully her!"
The white plastic bag in Shen Kuo's hand flew out and landed on the ground. The yellow paper scattered and was soaked by the wet ground.
"Hit."
Shen Kuo looked at him indifferently, and said, "Just like countless times in the past, fight."
A gust of wind blew up a few pieces of yellow paper.
Lu Zhen put down his hand dejectedly, and let go of Shen Kuo's collar.
Shen Kuo stood up in embarrassment, straightened his collar, and picked up the yellow paper plastic bag on the ground.
Lu Zhen panted, and said word by word: "Shen Kuo, a life is worth a life, and you can come and take my life anytime."
Shen Kuo sneered: "You want to die, but I don't want to go to jail."
Lu Zhen stared at him, his dark eyes were like thick ink that could not be melted: "You will regret bullying Lu Yan..."
"I never regret it."
Lu Zhen said stubbornly, "I will make you regret it."
After saying this, Lu Zhen turned and left.
Shen Kuo stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at his back, and stood there for a long time.
For the first time in his life, he felt that the silly boy who gave him Jianlibao had grown up.
People always have to grow up, not for themselves, but also for those they love.
He looked up and saw a few moths flying up and down around the white banner lamp.
All these years, everything he has done to Lu Zhen has never made him really happy for even a second...
Until that girl appeared in his life, like a ray of light, illuminating his devastated and desolate world.
Hate and revenge cannot bring satisfaction, but love can.
He couldn't let her live in endless guilt and self-blame all her life, and couldn't let her love him for the rest of her life with the love of redemption...
He knew that sooner or later, she would come out of the haze...
At that time, it is the real sea and sky.
Shen Kuo closed his eyes, letting Yu Xingzi lightly pat him on the face.
Lu Yan, forgive my decision at this moment...
During the few days when filling in the application form, Liang Ting and Qin Hao came to Lu's house with a lot of volunteers to fill in the reference books all day long, and discussed with Lu Zhen about filling in the application form.
The three of them went to kindergarten together, elementary school and junior high school together, and of course high school together. They had made an appointment, and they had to go to the same university.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhen's score in the college entrance examination soared to 600 points. Liang Ting was smart and his grades were always good, better than Lu Zhen's test scores, but Qin Hao failed, and only scored more than 500 points , obviously can't go to college with them.
"Where did Shen Kuo report to?" Lu Zhen asked Liang Ting.
Liang Ting focused on drawing the information of the school he chose with a pen, and said casually, "Where do I know."
"Don't you call yourself an 'intelligence officer', go, help me find out."
Liang Ting frowned: "What did you ask him to do?"
"You don't care if I ask what he does."
A day later, Liang Ting inquired about the latest information: "Actually, there is no suspense. Shen Kuo's goal has always been to major in computer science at Q University. His grades are more than enough to get into Q University..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Zhen remove the words "Q University Computer Department" on the blank voluntary paper, and he grabbed his hand: "What are you doing!"
"Fill in your volunteer application."
"You...you report Q major!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yan at the entrance of the corridor stopped and looked at Lu Zhen in surprise: "Are you applying for Q University?"
"Don't look at me like that." Lu Zhen said unnaturally, "He can repay, but I can't?"
Liang Ting said worriedly: "He is the provincial champion, and all the universities in the country are allowed to choose by him. You can look at your score. Although it is not bad, it is still far behind him. You have to report to him. Same school... ”
It's really suspenseful.
"The minimum score for Q University last year was only ten points higher than mine." Lu Zhen said firmly, "I have a hunch that it will drop this year."
Lu Yan went downstairs in a hurry, grabbed Lu Zhen's volunteer form and looked at it. The first choice was the Computer Department of Q University.
She asked Lu Zhen eagerly: "What do you want to do after chasing him to fill in the application?"
Lu Zhen rubbed her nose: "Nothing."
Seeing the two of them staring at him so intently, he couldn't help but say, "I can't get over this hurdle."
Liang Ting was puzzled: "What hurdle?"
Lu Zhen rubbed her nose, deliberately did not mention Lu Yan, and said: "I have been punished by him for so many years, I can't get over this hurdle, I still want... to fight with him, I don't believe it, I am really inferior to him in everything .”
"You have no energy! What's so aggressive about it? It's unlucky for us to meet him. It's best to stay away from him in this life. The farther the better! He's a liar... a big villain!"
When Shen Kuo was mentioned, Lu Yan's emotions could no longer be stretched.
Lu Zhen pursed her lips, grabbed her volunteer form, folded it, and stuffed it into the page.
"I can lose, but I don't hide."
He said in a deep voice: "What he can do, I can do too. If he will bankrupt me in the future, I will let him go bankrupt before that."
"..."
Liang Ting's mouth twitched.
Brother, you really have confidence.
In short, no one would persuade Lu Zhen to listen to the decision. The first choice was to apply, but he didn't care about the second and third choice. Lu Yan helped him choose the school cautiously. Sure he can get in, give him a guarantee.
But what no one expected was that the scores of Q University had dropped this year, more than ten points lower than Lu Zhen's scores, and there were not many students from the computer department in the province.
So when he got the admission notice, Lu Jianjian was so happy that he could not wait to tell everyone that my son was admitted to the Q University, yes, that is the Q University, what, Fudan, no, no, than Fudan is fine.
Lu Zhen was really lucky this summer vacation. Originally, his scores in the college entrance examination were completely extraordinary, so forget it. Volunteering was overwhelmed and desperate. Everyone thought that his first choice would fail. It was actually admitted.
When he met Shen Kuo, he had been unlucky for several years, and all his luck seemed to be accumulated and used for the college entrance examination.
The total score difference between him and Shen Kuo was nearly eighty points, but they were admitted to the same university and the same major.
This was a sensational "legendary" event in Beicheng No. 3 Middle School that year.
In the hot summer, in the classroom, the old-fashioned oscillating fans, especially the humming in the room, are running...
A few boys entered the classroom carrying plastic bags, and threw ice pack drinks that cost ten cents a bag to the surrounding students.
The third-grade cram school starts in August during the summer vacation and lasts for a whole month. Classes are held every day without holidays.
Lu Yan walked out of the classroom with a few old notebooks in her arms, and came to the waste paper recycling room on the first floor.
The recycling room is dedicated to recycle the discarded drafts or old books that students don't use, and sell them as waste paper.
Lu Yan handed those notebooks filled with notes to Teacher Chen in the mail room: "Mr. Chen, I don't want these anymore."
Mr. Chen had gray hair on his temples, and he was wearing presbyopic glasses between the bridge of his nose. He took a look at the notebook handed over by Lu Yan, and said, "Wow, these are all notes, don't you want them?"
Teacher Chen used to be a teacher at the school, and only worked in the waste paper mail room after retirement, so he knew these few notes.
These few notes are well organized, detailed and appropriate, and the handwriting is quite beautiful, so they should not be treated as waste anyway.
Lu Yan didn't want to look at them any more, she turned around and said, "I don't want any more."
Teacher Chen looked at the cover of the notebook, and found that the square lowercase characters are strong and powerful - Shen Kuo.
"Shen Kuo! I said why the notes are written in such an orderly manner. It turned out to be the notes of our Provincial Champion."
Teacher Chen's unintentional words pierced her heart inexplicably. She frowned and said, "Will you accept it? If you don't accept it, I will throw it in the trash."
Teacher Chen said with a smile: "This note is the only copy that is hard to come by. It would be a pity to sell it as waste paper, so... I put it here. If there is a high school student who needs this review note, I will sell it to him. is it okay?"
"Do whatever you want."
So Teacher Chen gave Lu Yan fifty cents according to the price of collecting waste paper.
Lu Yan took the money, didn't want to look at them any more, and left in a hurry.
She held the fifty cents tightly in her hand for a whole noon, until the banknotes were soaked with the sweat of her palms.
She fell in love with him with enthusiasm, and thought that he was a once-in-a-lifetime lover, but in the end...
It's just a change of the fifty cents.
How cheap, how ironic.
Lu Yan lay on the desk, turned her head sideways, and looked at the camphor forest scorching hot sun outside the window. The breeze swept the branches, leaves and treetops, making a rustling sound.
She recalled the night when the third grade was on vacation in the last senior year. In front of the third grade teaching building, review materials were flying all over the sky. The boy took her by the hand and took her to the deserted camphor forest.
He packed all the notes and materials into her schoolbag and gave them all to her...
When he was emotional, he didn't say a word, but hugged her tightly.
Shen Kuo hated her.
Lu Yan is actually not that kind of sensitive girl, especially in terms of emotions, she is very slow.
Therefore, Shen Kuo didn't need to act in front of her at all, and he didn't need to treat her deliberately. How could she know that he was with her for a purpose.
But he was still kind to her, down to the bone.
Even if a person loses consciousness and taste, even if he is paralyzed in bed and cannot move, he will never lose the ability to perceive love.
If everything he did was false, Lu Yan really didn't know what else was true in this world.
Lu Yan lay on the table, struggled for a few minutes with her head in her arms, and finally stood up abruptly, startling Qi Yuhuan who was taking a nap beside her.
"What are you... doing?"
Before she finished her sentence, Lu Yan hurriedly left her seat, ran out of the classroom, and arrived at the waste paper delivery room on the first floor of the teaching building without stopping.
"Mr. Chen, mine, I this morning..."
Panting heavily, she asked eagerly, "Are those notebooks still with you? I... I won't sell them anymore."
She put the crumpled fifty cents on the table: "Can you please return those materials to me?"
Teacher Chen frowned, and said in embarrassment: "Oh, that note... As soon as you left, some classmates bought it. I told you, this material is very precious. Take a look, how good is this?" .”
Lu Yan's heart suddenly emptied—
"Sold, sold."
"yes."
She walked out of the waste paper mail room in a daze, sat on the edge of the steps, buried her head in her knees, and felt sour in her heart.
What is she doing stupid again.
Lu Yan rubbed the corners of her eyes, got up and was about to leave, at this moment, someone waved a notebook in front of Lu Yan.
The little girl's eyes lit up, she raised her head and saw Jian Yao standing on the steps, smiling slyly.
"The review materials of the provincial champion, let some people sell them as waste paper like this, tsk, what a waste of money."
Lu Yan stretched out her hand to take it, but Jian Yao backed away: "Hey, I bought this. If you want it, you can buy it with money."
"How much do you want?" Lu Yan took out the small embroidered bag containing the change.
Jian Yao walked over, tapped her on the head with her notebook, and said with feigned anger, "I'm joking with you, I really believe it."
Lu Yan took the notebook, hugged it tightly to her chest, and explained: "It's not that I don't want to part with it, but it's just a pity. After all... the provincial champion's notebook."
Jian Yao saw her duplicity and didn't let it go, sitting side by side with her by the steps of the teaching building, watching the swaying tree shadows by the skylight in the corridor.
"Yeah, if you can get such a note, don't talk about dating him for half a year, even if you serve him like a cow for three years, it's not a loss!"
Lu Yan looked sideways at Jian Yao, and frowned: "Really?"
"Didn't you read the content inside?" Jian Yao pointed to one of the notes, and said casually: "His notes are not many, but they are all the essence! And these are not class notes at all, they are his own notes after class." Organized data."
Lu Yan didn't understand the difference.
So Jian Yao explained again: "He is such a smart guy, why would he need to waste time making a separate note after class? I guess... he might also want to use this note after he becomes the provincial champion. Sell it for money."
Lu Yan looked at Jian Yao in surprise, but Jian Yao didn't look at her, the sunlight happened to pass through the skylight and fell obliquely on her face, making her curled long eyelashes crystal clear.
"Yes, the original intention must be to sell money." She said with a smile: "He is so bad, so deceitful, it can't be written for certain people."
Lu Yan clenched her notes tightly and did not answer.
"But since it's in your hands, make good use of it."
Jian Yao patted her on the shoulder: "Don't take advantage of that guy, use his notes to get into Q University, it means you haven't been cheated for nothing."
Lu Yan lowered her head, took off the laces of her white net shoes, and tied them again: "I don't want to take the Q major."
Jian Yao said: "Didn't your brother say that he will wait for you at Q University?"
"He's not waiting for me." Lu Yan gave Jian Yao a meaningful look.
Jian Yao pinched her chin, pushed her face away, stood up, stretched her waist, and said in a long tone——
"My dream is to be unrestrained and unrestrained in the world of mortals, to devote myself to making my music, and I don't like to be controlled by others, so I will never fall in love and get married in my life..."
Lu Yan: "Oh."
So you think I jumped out of a crack in a rock
In the afternoon, the school organized an experience exchange meeting for outstanding graduates, and invited the top students among the senior high school graduates this time to teach the next senior high school students their experience and exchange learning methods.
When Lu Yan saw Shen Kuo's name on the poster of the exchange meeting, she decisively chose to study in the classroom.
Don't go, resolutely don't go!
China's best friend Qi Yuhuan dragged her hard, dragged her hard, and came to the entrance of the auditorium of the exchange meeting.
"It's a rare opportunity. In this kind of exchange meeting, what everyone shares is the dry goods of the dry goods. It's a pity not to listen."
Lu Yan hugged the tree trunk: "I really don't want to go, really, don't force me."
"Don't be cowardly, if you don't listen to him... you can also listen to the sharing of other brothers and sisters."
When Lu Yan was pulled into the auditorium, she saw Shen Kuo sitting at the head of the auditorium from a distance.
He was wearing a clean and crisp white shirt, with the shirt buttons undone to the second, revealing his slender and well-veined neck.
Under the illumination of the high-light lamps on the stage, his skin looked abnormally white, with a little radiance.
Many girls present were secretly looking at Shen Kuo.
His eyes were not focused, and there was a little coldness in his dark brown eyes.
And at this time, perhaps because of a feeling in his heart, he raised his head and looked at Lu Yan in the crowd.
Lu Yan's breathing suddenly suffocated, and she turned around to slip away. Qi Yuhuan grabbed her by the collar: "Miss, don't be cowardly! Hold on!"
Lu Yan finally left, sitting alone under the shadow of the flower terrace and trees in front of the auditorium, resting her chin, looking at the auditorium boredly.
The exchange and sharing meeting must be very exciting, and from time to time you can hear the warm applause from the students.
Lu Yan sighed softly, turned around and walked towards the teaching building. Passing by the small garden, a paper plane suddenly flew to her feet.
Lu Yan's footsteps faltered slightly, and she picked up the paper airplane.
An ugly smiley face was drawn on the plane.
Lu Yan looked up and saw Ye Jiaqi standing at the end of the stone road with her hands in her pockets, the light in her eyes dimmed again.
"It is you."
Ye Jiaqi was wearing a casual T-shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, revealing his strong forearms.
"Otherwise who do you think you are?"
"No one."
Lu Yan placed the paper airplane in the sunlight, and the sunlight penetrated through the thin paper and sprinkled on her beautiful hazel pupils.
"I remember, he gave you a paper plane, asking you to trade him for a real plane in the future."
"He won't keep his promise. He lied to me."
Lu Yan flew out the paper plane in her hand, and the plane landed on the green grass in the wind.
"Only I am so stupid that I would believe such deceitful nonsense."
Her voice was hoarse, and her expression was calm and gentle.
Ye Jiaqi ran over, picked up the paper airplane, and handed it to Lu Yan: "I won't lie."
Lu Yan took the paper airplane and looked at him puzzled.
Ye Jiaqi looked gentle, and said to her: "You will use this in the future to exchange a real plane with me, I will not lie."
Lu Yan didn't understand what he meant, and laughed: "It's true."
He solemnly promised: "Really, as long as you get out of the haze of broken love as soon as possible, what is a plane, I can pick the stars from the sky and give them to you..."
Lu Yan thought he was just making fun of her broken love, and asked with a smile, "How do you pick off the stars and give them to me?"
"Wait a moment."
Ye Jiaqi turned around, pulled out a sheet of homework paper from his schoolbag, then tore off the neat strips, and quickly folded a bulging little star with his dexterous fingers.
He turned around and handed the bulging little star to Lu Yan: "That's all right, star."
"So this is it."
Ye Jiaqi said: "In the future, you can exchange it with me for a real star."
Lu Yan raised her head suddenly, she wasn't sure if he was talking about real stars or sincerity.
But... the atmosphere felt a little strange.
She changed the subject and asked, "Brother Jiaqi, why didn't you go to the exchange meeting?"
Ye Jiaqi shrugged: "With Shen Kuo, I don't have to take it. Anyway, he beats me every time I take the exam. He has a very high IQ, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"It's not that IQ is high." Lu Yan whispered, "He works harder than others."
"It seems you don't hate him."
Lu Yan lowered her eyes: "I don't hate it."
After all, she still has a father, but Shen Kuo has lost his father.
She doesn't hate all his deceit and lies.
Just because you don't hate doesn't mean you can forgive.
"Let's not talk about that." Seeing that Lu Yan's mood was down, Ye Jiaqi changed the subject and asked, "What university do you want to go to?"
"I didn't think about it." Lu Yan looked at Ye Jiaqi: "Brother Jiaqi, which university will you go to?"
"Q is big."
She opened her eyes wide: "Are you going to Q University too?"
"yes."
Ye Jiaqi smiled relaxedly: "Lu Zhen insists on asking me to apply for Q University, and go with him to make money."
Lu Yan's mouth twitched.
This guy Lu Zhen... is going to chase Shen Kuo to the university.
"So why did you agree to him, apply to the school you like, and ignore him."
"I agreed because..." He stared at Lu Yan: "He said you can also study Q University."
As soon as these words came out, the star in Lu Yan's hand fell to the ground.
Ye Jiaqi picked up the little star, put it in Lu Yan's hand, and said softly, "I'm waiting for you at Q University, you must come."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Lu Yan to respond.
Perhaps, he didn't have the courage to listen to Lu Yan's answer, so he left in such a hurry.
Lu Yan looked at the paper airplane on the grass, and then at the little star in her hand, feeling a little troubled.
It's really a wave of ups and downs, and another wave...
After the experience sharing session was over, Qi Yuhuan returned to the classroom and saw Lu Yan flipping through the notes in a daze, she took advantage of the situation and grabbed Lu Yan's notes—
"Wow, Shen Kuo's notes, my mother!"
"Hey, pay me back!"
Lu Yan snatched the notebook and carefully put it into her schoolbag.
"It's like holding a baby." Qi Yuhuan sat next to Lu Yan, poking her with her elbow: "It's a pity that you didn't go to the sharing meeting. The brothers and sisters contributed a lot of dry goods."
"Oh."
"You see, I'm not as stingy as you. I've written it all down. Here, I'll let you read it."
Lu Yan casually flipped through the notebook, which densely recorded various learning methods and memory methods, but at the end, Shen Kuo shared only one sentence——
"Do not stay up all night."
Seeing Lu Yan's gaze stagnate, Qi Yuhuan explained: "That's right, our provincial number one scholar will only say this throughout the whole process today, don't stay up late."
Lu Yan closed the page and murmured lightly: "He can't even do it himself..."
Do not stay up all night.
This is what Lu Yan told Chen Kuo every night.
The students entered the classroom one after another, and Lu Yan took the water glass to the public water table at the end of the corridor, still thinking about Ye Jiaqi.
She couldn't figure out what was going on in the minds of these rich second-generation young masters, but because of Lu Zhen's nonsense, they chose college so hastily.
Lu Zhen was even more sloppy, and actually chased Shen Kuo to Q University. If it wasn't for his bad luck this time, it would be no wonder that he didn't fail the ranking because of his behavior of blindly reporting his volunteers with his eyes closed.
But think about it carefully, when I was a rich second generation, I did things as I wished, acted recklessly, and only wanted to make myself happy in everything, without considering the consequences at all, anyway...
No matter what bad things happen, and her dad is helping her, the sky won't fall.
When did this mentality change
It should be... after meeting Shen Kuo.
He lives cautiously, does things earnestly, endures silently, and lives hard...
He changed Lu Yan's attitude towards life. Whether she admits it or not, Lu Yan at this moment is the best Lu Yan.
Just when Lu Yan was in a state of confusion, the water in the water glass suddenly overflowed, and the scalding hot water scalded her hands.
Lu Yan screamed, and the water glass came out of her hand.
The back of her hand was reddened by the scalding hot water, and the severe pain made Lu Yan take several steps back.
At this moment, her slender wrists were suddenly grasped by a pair of powerful hands.
The man held her, walked to the water platform in strides, turned on the faucet, and released cold water on the back of her hand.
Lu Yan looked up in surprise, and saw Shen Kuo's expressionless and stern face.
His face was tense, his dark eyes stared at the back of her hand, and his eyebrows were slightly drawn together.
Lu Yan's heart skipped a beat and she held her breath.
He turned on the faucet, increased the amount of water and hit the back of her hand, and murmured softly, "Breathe, don't hold your breath."
Lu Yan let out a sharp breath, her cheeks flushed, she became inexplicably angry, and said, "Let go!"
Shen Kuo stubbornly pulled her wrist, but did not let go.
Lu Yan continued to back up, struggling desperately... Shen Kuo suddenly pulled her closer to him, but unexpectedly, they were so hard that their faces almost bumped into each other.
Shen Kuo still held her hand, the two of them looked at each other, breathing intertwined.
"Be good."
His voice was low and mellow, and after he finished speaking, he put her hand under the faucet, and the cold water from the faucet hit the back of Lu Yan's tender hand.
"If you don't cool down quickly, you'll get blisters."
Lu Yan's eyes were a little red, and the solid heart wall that had been built with great difficulty collapsed the moment she saw him.
In the past, I had rehearsed countless times in my mind, and I couldn't even say a word of the cruel words that I was going to say when we met again.
Lu Yan looked at his drooping brown eyes, at his thin and transparent eyelashes, and at his gentle expression, she had no way to be hard-hearted towards him.
Every move of this man tugged at her heart.
She loved him then, and she loves him now...
There was some inexplicable sadness in her tone, and she muttered in a low voice: "Are you trying to lie to me again?"
Shen Kuo said calmly, "You have nothing for me to deceive."
"Then you care what I do."
"You're burned."
"This is my own business and has nothing to do with you."
Lu Yan turned cold and forced herself to be stronger, not to be so hopeless.
Shen Kuo's eyes were slightly sad, and after a long time, he let go of his hand and said, "Okay, I don't care about you."
Lu Yan felt that the force on her wrist suddenly disappeared, and she was inexplicably empty, and all the strength in her body was drained.
want to cry.
She took a deep breath, resisting the soreness in her throat, lowered her head, and kept her tears from falling. So... The sad person, the person who can't let go, the person who has no future, is only her from the beginning to the end.
Shen Kuo was pacing to leave, but Lu Yan came to the water platform and looked at him angrily: "Shen Kuo, I want to make a bet with you."
Shen Kuo looked back at her.
Lu Yan bit her lower lip, put her hand under the hot water pipe, and put her other hand on the switch.
"I bet you... loved me."
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and pressed the hot water switch with her hand.
Without any hesitation, Shen Kuo hugged her body before the hot water touched her skin, and took her away from the water platform.
However, his arm was reddened by the scalding hot water flowing out.
He pressed her thin shoulders tightly with his hand, bumped her against the wall, and asked her in a coercive manner: "Is it interesting to do this!"
Lu Yan had never seen him so angry. The angry look of this man was terrifying.
She broke away from his hand, stood on tiptoe, and hugged his neck tightly.
"Don't kill me."
Her eyes were bright, as if they were full of the morning sun, and she buried her face in his firm neck: "Shen Kuo, if you are willing, I will love you forever."
Shen Kuo felt the girl's soft body hugging him tightly, and his heart softened completely at this moment.
