The time at school was not as bad as Zuo Ning imagined, well, it wasn't such a bad thing at first, but sometimes the psychological presupposition would make it seem like the sky was falling. Because he was only auditing this course, although Lu Chenghe also interspersed some other timetables for him, he still had a very leisurely time every day. Even the director arranged his scenes after class, and gradually got used to it. After the rhythm of life, Zuo Ning felt that life had become more fulfilling.
Going to class every day, filming, sticking to Lu Chenghe whenever he gets the chance and asking him to take him to eat delicious food, using the excuse of consoling himself for his hard work in class, he has to eat out almost every day before going home. Although not very often, Zuo Ning occasionally pulls Lu Nianqi and Lu Chenghe to have lunch together. The more contact, the more intimate the relationship is. At least after a few times, Lu Nianqi is not so awe-inspiring to Lu Chenghe. .
For this reason, Lu Nianqi was very happy for a while, and he was more relaxed, active and let go from his words and demeanor. However, the happy time will not last for long. Just when Zuo Ning went to Lu Nianqi to take a class together, he ran into a ripping off from his good friends.
He and Lu Nianqi only had the same courses as Professor Jin, so Lu Nianqi's other classmates, Zuo Ning, didn't know each other. When he saw someone pushing Lu Nianqi, he thought he was being bullied, so he quickly rolled up his sleeves and rushed up.
However, the boy who was arguing with Lu Nianqi turned around and left as soon as he saw him. Lu Nianqi grabbed Zuo Ning, who wanted to rush to the theory: "Hey, don't! We're fine, it's not what you think!"
Zuo Ning looked back at him and said angrily: "It's okay, I saw him pushing you! Have you been bullied in school like this? Why didn't you tell me when you were bullied? Who is that person and why is he? Bullying you? Tell me, is someone bullying you?!"
Afraid that he would misunderstand and sue the second brother directly, Lu Nianqi quickly said: "No, no, it's really not what you think, no one bullied me at school, it's just that I had a dispute with him over a little thing just now, not what you thought. so serious!"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Zuo Ning just gave up and asked gossip about what the dispute was about, but unfortunately Lu Nianqi didn't tell him. He shrugged helplessly. Everyone has their own little secrets. Seeing that Lu Nianqi was reluctant to tell them, Zuo Ning had no choice but to let it go.
But Zuo Ning soon realized that maybe it was because of him, because Lu Nianqi's attitude towards him was slightly different. Although Lu Nianqi didn't show it, Zuo Ning had an intuition that Lu Nianqi seemed to be deliberately maintaining something. Several times Lu Chenghe came over and said to have lunch together, but Lu Nianqi refused on the grounds that something was wrong. And when he was in class, it was obvious that he didn't want to talk to him. It seemed that he had to continue the class because of Lu Chenghe's instructions to him.
Although Zuo Ning is not a very sensitive person, his intuition has always been accurate. If it is someone else who is not willing to play with him, then it is not a big deal. But Lu Nianqi is Lu Chenghe's younger brother. Although he recognized it halfway, Lu Chenghe may not attach much importance to Lu Nianqi, but after all, he is a family, so he won't be enmity.
So after class, before Lu Nianqi was ready to go back to the dormitory, Zuo Ning pulled him away and looked at him with a very serious expression: "Everyone is an adult, just say anything if you have any dissatisfaction with me. If you don't tell me, don't worry, I will never complain to Chenghe. If you don't tell me, but you treat me like this, then our relationship doesn't need to be maintained. If Chenghe asks me , I will tell the truth."
Lu Nianqi didn't know whether to cry or laugh when he heard what he said. This is not a complaint or a threat, but this is also his own problem. Obviously, he has not adjusted his mentality, so he apologized: "Sorry, I have encountered some problems recently. Things are a little bit bad."
"Is it about me?"
Lu Nianqi looked at him for a moment, maybe he was really angry, although he knew that he couldn't blame others, but he would always subconsciously bring out his emotions. After a while, he said, "I'm here. I only came back to Lu's house after college. Before that, I had been working outside, and even when I came back to Lu's house, I didn't tell my friends."
Zuo Ning looked at him in confusion.
Lu Nianqi sighed: "Now they know, some just broke up with each other, and some started to have ulterior motives. In short, some feelings are no longer as pure as they used to be."
Originally, Lu Nianqi's life could be said to be very simple. Even if he returned to Lu's house, his life was no longer as stretched as before, and the most important thing that affected him was material wealth. For the friends around him, it's not that he didn't want to talk about it, but in the end, for various reasons, he chose to hide it.
As a person who used to be poor, being able to raise his eyebrows and get the attention of others with vanity is something that Lu Nianqi once fantasized about, but this kind of thing can only be fantasized to him. He knew that once his identity as a Lu family member was exposed, he would definitely become a sought after existence for various interests.
It is impossible to say that you don't like this kind of pursuit, everyone has their own vanity. But when this opportunity was really in his hands, he chose to remain silent. He clearly knew that he couldn't handle such a scene, and faced with so many ulterior motives, he didn't know how to distinguish.
During the time he lived in the Lu family, he had already experienced a different kind of life. Behind the pompousness was the unaccustomed, unaccustomed, and even unbearable tiredness. In the end, he chose to return to his previous life, simple interpersonal communication, not so many interests, not so many impure purposes. When he was slowly groping for a balance between the two worlds, Lu Ning's appearance broke the balance.
The one who quarreled with him that day was Shen Bin, a friend from his hometown. They used to be in the same high school, but Shen Bin was one grade higher than him. Later, they were admitted to Jade Bird City one after another, and Shen Bin also took good care of him. At the beginning, the place where he worked was introduced by Shen Bin, and he gave him a lot of help in both study and life.
As he came into contact with Lu Ning more and more, after he was seen having dinner with Lu Chenghe, his identity as a member of the Lu family was revealed by someone with a heart. Some classmates who used to be mediocre in the past began to get close to him slowly, and some classmates who hadn't spoken to him in the university so far also came to show his affection to him. However, Shen Bin, who had been taking care of him a lot, changed his attitude and even broke up with him.
He thought that Shen Bin was blaming himself for concealing it, and if it was him who was regarded as his best friend for concealing such an important matter, he would definitely be very angry. Several times he wanted to seek reconciliation and apology with Shen Bin, at least the two of them could have a good talk, and it would be good to talk about some things.
But after he accidentally heard Shen Bin complaining about him to his roommate, Lu Nianqi realized how stupid he was before. Those taking care of him, those helping him, those good ones, are just Shen Bin's own sense of superiority.
They all came from the same place. That kind of small place was originally undeveloped, and the family environment of each family was very general, but he lost his parents when he was very young. Not too much.
So when he came to this big city and saw the extravagant life of so many rich children, Shen Bin's originally unbalanced mentality found a sense of superiority in him. There is a kind of person who is jealous when he is not as good as others, but he is happy when he sees an existence that is worse than himself, and even does not hesitate to help him to improve his sense of superiority.
He didn't have many good friends in school, except for the one in his dormitory who could talk, only Shen Bin, who was a year older than him. As a result, the appearance of Lu Ning broke the calm he hoped to maintain, but also revealed the appearance of self-deception.
He knew this kind of thing and no wonder Lu Ning, but if he knew it, it would take time to adjust his emotions, but all the things flooded him all of a sudden, which made him unable to face his own mentality all of a sudden.
After understanding the cause and effect of the incident, Zuo Ning didn't know what to say. Who would have expected such a thing. He has no experience in this kind of thing, and he doesn't even know how to enlighten Lu Nianqi. In particular, if he didn't have himself, maybe Lu Nianqi would really be able to study the entire university calmly.
So Zuo Ning had no choice but to smile at him embarrassedly, and after comforting him dryly, he fled.
Seeing the back running away, Lu Nianqi couldn't help but feel a little envious. It was nice to have a carefree youth.
After going back in the evening, Zuo Ning wentssips with Lu Chenghe again. After talking, seeing that Lu Chenghe didn't react at all, he couldn't help but leaned up to him, squeezed between him and the computer and looked at him: "That's your brother. Eh, you don't care at all."
"The path you choose and how you live your life are your own business."
Zuo Ning looked at him dissatisfiedly: "What is the path you chose, aren't you the ones who brought him back to the Lu family? Although it is hypocritical to say this, I feel that returning to the Lu family is only materialistic to him. Ascension, other things, feels worse than before, feels like there is no freedom and more stress in life."
Lu Chenghe laughed when he heard this, looked at the little guy who was sticking to himself to fight for others' injustice and said, "Do you think that if he doesn't want to, we will force him? After getting the appraisal results, the eldest brother went to him to look after him. The whole thing has been said again. Even if he does not return to the Lu family, the Lu family will give him a sum of money as compensation for the Lu family, but his future life has nothing to do with the Lu family. It is he who chooses to come back. After recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, how to balance the changes in his life is his own business."
Zuo Ning thought that after confirming Lu Nianqi's identity, they brought him back without saying a word, he couldn't help but smiled at Lu Chenghe, grabbed the button of his shirt and said, "Well, I misunderstood you. "
Lu Chenghe slapped his hand away with a slap: "Let's play."
Zuo Ning finally squeezed out the computer, how could it be so easy to give way, stuck on Lu Chenghe and refused to come down: "My role is about to be finished."
Lu Chenghe raised his eyebrows slightly and saw that he didn't answer. He probably knew better than Little Pudding himself about Little Pudding's schedule.
Zuo Ning said, "We haven't gone out to play for a long time."
Lu Chenghe refused neatly: "You want to go to class."
Zuo Ning just wanted to say, then ask for leave. Anyway, he didn't take the exam and he didn't get the certificate. Seeing Lu Chenghe looking at him like this, he swallowed the words that came to his lips and said, "I don't have classes on weekends."
Laughing at his eager little pity, Lu Chenghe said helplessly, "Where do you want to go to play."
Zuo Ning's eyes widened instantly when he heard the drama, then jumped off Lu Chenghe and ran to the bed with his tablet in his arms and ran back again. I also want to go here, with mountain views and sea views, if you think the city is noisy, we will go to a quieter place, and if you think this place is not popular enough, we will go to a big city to play.”
Lu Chenghe clicked on the photos one by one, and there were landmark buildings from all over the place, but: "Are these what you want to go to?"
Zuo Ning nodded quickly.
Lu Chenghe chuckled lightly: "Then don't go."
Zuo Ning glared at Lu Chenghe instantly: "You promised to go out to play!"
Lu Chenghe tapped the screen: "The places you choose will take at least ten hours to fly over. It takes one day to go back and forth, and you only have two days off on weekends. Tell me how you want to play?"
Seeing that the routine couldn't catch Lu Chenghe, Zuo Ning lowered his head and slid on the tablet. Although these places were not necessarily what he particularly wanted to go to, he really hadn't gone out with Lu Chenghe for a long time, and he hadn't been there since he became a human being. ! Going to get off work and going to work every day, going to school and leaving school, there is no adjustment in life, how to cultivate feelings!
Lu Chenghe touched his head: "When your course is over, I'll take you out to play before school starts. You can play wherever you want, until school starts."
Zuo Ning hurriedly stretched out his right pinky finger: "Retract!"
Lu Chenghe had never done such a childish thing when he was so old, and before he could tangle, Little Pudding grabbed his hand, opened his little thumb and hooked it. Made a meaningless formal agreement, and the guy who was crying and smiling just now smiled like a flower in an instant.
Originally thought this chat was over, but saw Little Pudding open another album: "Then you can pick one from here, the farthest flight is only three hours, the nearest flight only takes an hour, I There is no class on Monday morning, we will leave on Friday afternoon, and come back on Monday morning, all right!”
Lu Chenghe directly pinched the face that was close at hand, and the little thing played with him.
