The winter vacation went without a hitch.
After school started, Ruan Yue moved to Class 18.
At the end of the term, she passed more than 20 students in the whole grade, and she was just in the middle of class 18. But because Class 18 is the only liberal arts key class in the second year of high school, she dare not relax at all. Like everyone else in the class, she arrives at school on time at 6 o'clock every day, listens carefully to each class, and races against time in evening self-study. Go back to the dormitory and study for a while, day after day, to save energy for the college entrance examination in advance.
Song Qing, the class teacher, had prejudice against her before, but after observing for a week after the start of school, she found that she and Fu Zhixing occasionally got together to discuss issues, spent more time with Cheng Xiao, and always sat upright in class, eager to learn , that dissatisfaction disappeared.
Winter went to spring, and it was the end of April in the blink of an eye.
This day was the weekend, Ruan Yue went out early in the morning, took a math tutoring class outside, and walked home at around 12 noon.
When she was changing her shoes at the entrance, the dog who had gained weight rushed over, barked a few times, and kept rubbing against her trouser legs.
"OK OK."
Ruan Yue patted its head, looked down and saw its wet eyes, couldn't help laughing, bent down and hugged the whole dog.
The husky is big, and it is a little difficult for her to hold it upright, but this dog has always been clinging to her, and he is reluctant to let go.
One person and one dog walked to the dining room, and Wen Ru in the kitchen was just saying, "You didn't see that scene, it's just that before the person got into the ambulance, the blood stained his pants red. Ah, the police are here..."
Zhao Bingzhi was sitting at the dining table drinking vegetable juice. When he looked up and saw Ruan Yue hugging the dog, he frowned and said disapprovingly, "He rolls around on the ground a lot in the morning. You don't think it's dirty if you just hug him."
"Just change your clothes later."
As Ruan Yue spoke, she lowered her head and rubbed the dog's nose with her cheek.
Seeing this, Zhao Bingzhi looked even more disgusted.
Ruan Yue has never had a pet since she was a child, since Yan Shuning brought Dabai here years ago, she has taken care of her as an ancestor.
Zhao Bingzhi was a bit of a clean freak, but after the divorce, he pampered her a lot.
Ruan Yue arranged the dog on the seat next to her, and heard Wen Ru shout from the kitchen: "Is Yue'er back? Aunt Wen just squeezed strawberry juice for you."
While speaking, she brought out the juice.
Ruan Yue took it in one hand, and asked curiously: "Aunt Wen, what were you talking about just now? What happened?"
"What do children ask so many questions?"
Zhao Bingzhi looked at her, and couldn't bear to remind him: "Go and wash your hands first, I just finished petting the dog."
Ruan Yue had to go to the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom, Zhao Bingzhi went to the side to answer the phone. Seeing that she hadn't glanced at the restaurant, Wen Ru went up to Ruan Yue and whispered, "It's the guy surnamed Ding who got into a fight with a group of people in the community today. When I came back from grocery shopping and heard someone say it, I leaned over to take a look, maybe I had a miscarriage, and the blood flowed all over the floor."
After Ruan Chengyi divorced, he did not marry Ding Meijuan.
Ding Meijuan and Ding Chuchu had been living in a high-rise residential area.
But because Ding Meijuan's belly has grown recently, the old man and the old lady of the Ruan family came to live in another bungalow together, calling Ding Meijuan over from time to time to create opportunities for her and Ruan Chengyi.
Because of the close distance between the two houses, Ruan Yue occasionally saw the old man and the old lady, and every time they met, the old lady would always exaggerate about Ding Meijuan's pregnancy with a boy. But because Ruan Yue has already experienced it, she can't bring up any emotions when facing her.
After a long time, the old lady's side also died down.
However, why did Ding Meijuan suddenly fight with someone
The child in her womb, let alone five or six months, why is she so careless
After her previous life, she didn't know much about Ding Meijuan's situation. Could it be that she was actually pregnant, and because she was pregnant and had a miscarriage, Ruan Chengyi deliberately compensated their mother and daughter
"What are you talking about with her?"
Zhao Bingzhi came over after making the phone call, and gave Wen Ru a helpless look.
Wen Ru said unhappily: "I think it's God's eyes. Being a mistress is so rampant, she shouldn't end well! But she's also bold, and she's actually able to fight with people this month."
The three people were talking, and the doorbell was ringing non-stop.
Wen Ru walked out quickly and shouted, "Here we come."
As soon as the door opened, the figure that rushed in startled her, and immediately frowned, "Why are you two here?"
"What do you know?"
Mrs. Ruan pushed her away and walked straight into the room, shouting, "Bingzhi! Zhao Bingzhi! Come out!"
Zhao Bingzhi stepped out of the living room and frowned at her, "What's the matter?"
"You save Cheng Yi!"
While talking, the old lady rushed forward and grabbed her sleeves, and asked in panic, "Why was he arrested? He has been in business for so many years without any accident, why did he suddenly have an accident?! You are a couple, try to find a way Save him, don't let him go to jail!"
"Wang—"
Seeing a stranger, Dabai jumped up and roared.
Ruan Yue hugged it quickly, and looked at the old lady with a dazed expression.
The old lady tugged at her mother's sleeve and begged.
She looked at the old man again, and asked hesitantly, "Grandpa, what's the matter?"
"Yueer Yueer."
The old lady turned her head to look at her, and because Dabai was not close, she hurriedly said, "Help grandma, beg your mother, let her give your father a way out!"
Hearing this, Zhao Bingzhi lowered his head and pushed her hand away, "It's not me who detained him. What's the use of begging me? He's in his forties, and he dares to commit crimes. If the police don't look for him, who will he look for?" I can't do anything about this, I can't help your son."
"You are preparing to drive us to death!"
The old lady howled as she spoke.
Yan Shuning strode in from the door, just in time to see this scene, stepped forward to pull the old lady away without saying a word, frowned and said: "Instead of having time to do such useless work, why not go back and hire a good lawyer, his If the situation is less than three to five years, it will be more than ten years, and imprisonment is inevitable."
Looking up and seeing him, the old lady seemed to have seen a savior, "Aren't you in the Public Security Bureau? Or the director of that department, you must have a way, don't just leave him alone!"
Years later, Yan Shuning changed jobs and came back to serve as the deputy director of the Public Security Department. Ruan Chengyi naturally heard about it. So when she learned that the old lady wanted to find fault after seeing Yan Shuning in and out of Lanyuan, she repeatedly reminded his mother. The old lady had some scruples about Yan Shuning's identity, and usually avoided going as much as possible, but now she begged when she saw someone, it was purely a case of emergency.
After a group of people argued for about ten minutes, Wen Ru invited the old couple of the Ruan family out.
Ruan Yue didn't understand the matter, and sat on the sofa with her dog's head in her arms, feeling a mess in her heart.
Zhao Bingzhi sat on the sofa next to her.
Yan Shuning took a low stool and sat next to her, and said, "I've heard all about it. According to the situation, the sentence is estimated to be several years, but it also involves medical malpractice, and the two families involved in the accident are still angry. I heard that there are also some connections... "
Zhao Bingzhi sighed and said nothing.
Wen Ru poured Yan Shuning a glass of water, and asked, "What's going on?"
"The dean of the Second Academy wanted to make a fortune before he retired. He asked someone to send a pot of orchids worth millions of dollars, but he wanted to get it back from the equipment. He used something from a second-rate manufacturer, and the report came out. If there is a problem, the doctor misdiagnosed it, and the family members of the patient ran to make trouble, and the matter was not covered, and these entanglements were pulled out by talking about it."
"Oh~"
Yan Shuning sneered, "The Department of Health and the Commission for Discipline Inspection have been alarmed in all aspects. This series of incidents will probably catch a lot of moths."
"Now this gift-giving is famous."
"No, there are policies and there are countermeasures. It's just a collection of potted flowers, but the market changes hands for hundreds of millions..."
Wen Ru sighed again, "He has been able to go smoothly in Ningcheng for twenty years. To put it bluntly, is it because of Bingzhi? The face of the family is there, and it should not be too easy to do business. It's good now, but good times, just take care of yourself The family doesn’t want it, the business has collapsed, and people still go in.”
"Okay, okay, let's go."
Zhao Bingzhi raised his hand and squeezed between his eyebrows, "I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet. The water is deep in this line of work, so there are more or less problems. I'm afraid I will be regarded as a typical example and try to scare others."
Yan Shuning glanced at her, "On the way here, I happened to meet two people from the sub-bureau here. They said that the family members of the patients went there to make trouble?"
Zhao Bingzhi was taken aback for a moment, "I don't know about that."
She tilted her head to look at Wen Ru, and said, "It's her, she heard about it when she came back from grocery shopping, and thought it was an ordinary fight."
"It turned out to be revenge..."
Wen Ru muttered, then looked at Yan Shuning, and asked with a smile, "Didn't you eat lunch? Just right, I steamed a lot of rice, let's have some together?"
"I just came here for dinner."
Yan Shuning finished speaking with a smile, and looked at Ruan Yue, "Dabai seems to have gained a lot of weight?"
Ruan Yue put her arms around the dog's neck and smiled, then bowed her head in silence for a while, and still couldn't help asking him: "Then... my dad..."
"Detained, no visits allowed for now."
Ruan Yue let out an "oh".
The four of us ate at the restaurant.
Ruan Yue led the dog to the study to do homework.
Dabai is usually very noisy, but she still winks when she is doing homework. After entering the room, she lays down on the carpet and gnaws a molar stick.
Ruan Yue was writing her homework, but she always felt that she was not concentrating.
After a while, he lowered his head and swiped his phone.
There are new messages in the WeChat group at the top.
She has nothing to do, so click on it. Inside, Li Shiyu happened to @Lu Chen asked: [Brother Shen, when are you coming tomorrow?]
This is the WeChat group of Class 19.
After moving to class 18, she kept setting up the block, but didn't delete it and quit.
Seeing Li Shiyu's words, he couldn't help being distracted for a few seconds, and then saw Qin Zheng ask: [Isn't it, are you really willing to abandon us?]
Abandon us
Ruan Yue was taken aback by this sentence.
In the group, Lu Chen replied at this time: [Tomorrow afternoon, go to Lao Dong's to go through the dismissal procedures first.]
[What's the situation?]
[Brother Shen, why don't you read it properly?]
[Last week, I was absent from school for two days, and last week seemed to be missing too. Brother Shen, what's the matter with you, why don't you go to school?]
[Go home and farm.]
Lu Chen made such a sentence.
[? ? ?]
The group was instantly flooded with question marks and emojis.
When Ruan Yue saw this, she suddenly saw Dabai throwing the molar stick and chewing on the carpet on the sofa.
She hurriedly got up and went over to scold, but she didn't see it. After a series of emoticons swiped the screen, Li Shiyu sent a sentence: [Haha, what a fucking place, your brother Shen is a bit coquettish. I have studied liberal arts for half a semester, and I want to transfer. Reason, repeat the grade and go to the first year of high school.]
[? ? ?]
[Niubao!]
[Hahahahaha, what kind of operation is this?]
When Ruan Yue came back, there were still various symbols and expressions in the chat box. She held the phone in a daze for a while, and hesitated to click on Lu Chen's profile picture.
…
in the room.
Lu Chen sat in front of the computer and was reviewing the game when he caught a glimpse of the phone vibrating.
Looking down, it was Ruan Yue who sent a text message asking him: "Why don't you study anymore?"
Stop studying
Lu Chen was taken aback, thought for a while, and guessed that she might have read half of the WeChat message.
Class 18 and Class 19 are separated by a wall. Logically speaking, they are not far away. But in fact, since the beginning of school, the two of them basically haven't spoken much.
Occasionally met in the corridor, Ruan Yue was basically with Cheng Xiao, he, Li Shiyu, Qin Zheng and the others passed each other, without a chance to stop talking.
Getting up with his mobile phone, Lu Chen went to the balcony outside the living room.
During the Spring Festival, his aunt and uncle came to visit relatives, not only gave him all the previous 100,000 yuan, but also distributed an additional nearly 300,000 yuan. During this period of time, he wandered around the stock exchange, and only found out some clues about the inside. Relying on a little memory from his previous life, he bought the stock that had a daily limit after the festival. Saved a few million.
Money has no sense of reality.
Put it there, it seems to be a string of numbers.
Maybe it's because it came so easily, watching it double and accumulate, he didn't have the kind of excitement that he thought in advance, but it caused a lot of pressure.
Lu Jianmin and Zhuo Lin knew almost nothing about this.
But at the Chinese New Year gatherings of relatives and friends, they all knew that aunt and uncle re-established the pig farm at his suggestion, and praised him in an envious tone, which gave Zhuo Lin a big face.
In addition, he often reads and studies at home during this period of time. Zhuo Lin agreed to his idea of repeating grades, abandoning sports, and academics after being entangled.
He is eighteen years old, and it sounds a bit embarrassing to revisit the first year of high school, but since the child has made up his mind to study hard, has a goal and a direction, it is a good thing. Delaying a year and going back to a good university is worth it from a long-term perspective.
A few days ago, Lu Chen also told Dong Guofeng about this.
He has been on the loose lately, absent from class for at least half a day a week. Dong Guofeng was looking for a chance to have a good talk with someone, so he took the initiative to come to him, saying that he didn't think liberal arts was suitable, and wanted to repeat the grade and go to the first year of high school. The idea of electing subjects.
As a good-natured head teacher, he thought about it for a while and agreed.
Lu Chen didn't want to waste time.
I have also agreed with Dong Guofeng, and I will go through the formalities tomorrow.
Because I thought it was troublesome to say it on WeChat, I just made a joke just now and said something like "going home to farm".
He leaned on the balcony railing with one hand and looked down. In the garden downstairs, several magnolias were in full bloom, and a few white petals fell on the green lawn.
Ruan Yue, what kind of mood did she use to ask this sentence
She said she didn't like him being impulsive.
During this period of time, he calmed himself down and tried his best to think twice before doing anything. I also often recall the past, and have to admit that when the two of them were together, their relationship was fragile and deformed.
Ruan Yue is an extremely egotistical person, so why isn't he
She drilled herself in her little turtle shell and blamed herself, why didn't he
Rubbing the phone repeatedly with his fingers, Lu Chen looked at the sentence she sent and imagined her frowning white face on the other end of the phone.
He made up his mind not to let her know that he was also reborn.
Everything about yesterday, such as death yesterday, was originally an unpleasant memory to think about, so why bother to reveal it again, so that both of them can't bear it.
But he hasn't spoken for so long, God knows, he misses her so much that he goes crazy.
I really want to tease her.
Lu Chen replied: [My family is poor, I can't read anymore. My mother always felt that I was not doing my job properly, and was going to let me accept the beatings from the society in advance.]
We were together day and night in the previous life, because we didn't talk about it in depth, Ruan Yue didn't know the specific situation of his family, and didn't know that his father had passed away, but he heard him calling his mother.
The sentence that left the deepest impression on me was: "It's almost thirty, how dare I ask you for money?"
Later, he seemed to have called his brother again.
Keep your voice down and let go of the harsh words.
Damn, do you favor his brother
Ruan Yue thought wildly, and said carefully, "You are only a sophomore in high school, what can you do in society?" Why don't you talk to your mother carefully, just say that your grades have improved recently, and you can go to college without any problems... Is it because the family is short of money?]
This last sentence made Lu Chen's expression subtle.
[Well, because I bought a house for my brother, my family owes hundreds of thousands. My parents were a little struggling, thinking that I was also eighteen, so they wanted me to drop out of school and work.]
Hundreds of thousands
Ruan Yue checked the balance in her pocket money card, and sent another message: [Does your mother think that you are wasting money by studying? Have you fought for yourself?]
[They are not even willing to give me living expenses.]
[I can lend it to you.]
[Life is your own, only if you have the ability, you can have a good life in the future. Don't give up the opportunity to learn so easily, you will regret it later.]
Seeing that the texts he sent were full of frustration, Ruan Yue felt a little anxious, and sent several educational sentences in succession.
Lu Chen didn't know what he was thinking, but after a conversation, he accepted her proposal to lend him money for living expenses.
next morning.
In the last class, before school ended, Ruan Yue looked at his watch frequently.
After the get out of class bell rang, she breathed a sigh of relief, touched the bank card in her pocket, called Cheng Xiao from another group, and went out to eat together.
Watching them walk out of the classroom, Meng Hao leaned closer to Fu Zhixing, and asked hesitantly, "This is strange, why are you two in the same class, and the communication between you two is getting less and less?"
Fu Zhixing didn't expect it either.
He thought that as long as Ruan Yue was in Class 18, they would get along day and night and they would soon be close again.
But in fact, ever since the unsuccessful kiss at the Ruan's house, Ruan Yue always seemed uncomfortable being alone with him, as if deliberately keeping a distance.
The dependence that has been used to since childhood
heh~
Fu Zhixing couldn't tell whether it was bitterness or helplessness in his heart, he packed the books and stuffed them into the table hole, and glanced at Meng Hao: "Let's go, go eat."
…
Cheng Xiao took Ruan Yue's arm and went outside the school talking and laughing.
Because they disliked that the restaurants in front of the school were too crowded, and it was a rare time to relax at noon, so the two of them would always go farther to eat.
In the ramen shop, just as Cheng Xiao sat down, he found that Ruan Yue was looking at his phone again.
"What's the matter with you? Is there something wrong?"
she asked while wiping the table.
"At once… "
As soon as Ruan Yue opened her mouth, someone patted her shoulder lightly.
She tilted her head and saw the snow-white T-shirt on the boy's body. Lu Chen always wears thinner clothes than others. It's not too hot today. She is still wearing a long-sleeved school uniform. He is already wearing a short T-shirt, so he feels refreshed when he sits down. Cool, not as decadent as she imagined.
Seeing him coming, Cheng Xiao was startled for a moment, then quickly got up and said, "I'll go and order."
"Buy an extra copy."
Ruan Yue got up quickly and handed her a red note.
Cheng Xiao said "Oh", with a weird expression on her face, and asked Lu Chen, "What flavor do you eat?"
"Same as you, thanks."
Lu Chen raised his eyes and said something.
Cheng Xiao took the money and walked to the dining table.
Thoughtfully, he looked back again.
Coincidentally seeing Ruan Yue put an envelope on the table, Lu Chen was not polite, raised his hand to take it, and stuffed it into his jeans pocket.
what's the situation? ?
She suppressed her emotions and stood behind the ordering line.
Taking advantage of Cheng Xiao's absence to give the money to him, Ruan Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Lu Chen did not speak, she feared that his self-esteem would be frustrated, so she took the initiative to say: "There are two thousand yuan in it, you can use it first. If it is not enough Now, tell me again. Just treat it as a loan from me, but I’m not in a hurry, you can return it to me anytime.”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back in a while."
Lu Chen looked down at the phone and replied.
The phone screen happened to be on the WeChat interface, and his cousin Zhang Yuan sent a message asking him: [Ah Ze said you invested two million in us, did you rob a bank?]
[… Don't let other people in the family know.]
[! ! ! real? Where did you get the money?]
[I accidentally won a lottery ticket, keep your mouth shut, don't tell your parents, and don't tell my parents either. Don't talk, I'll eat first.]
Ignoring Zhang Yuan's series of soul torture, he installed his mobile phone, looked at Ruan Yue again, and said seriously: "If I want to continue my studies, I definitely don't have so much time to work. Besides, I can't make much money by working part-time. There is definitely no way to return it to you soon, and maybe I will have to borrow it again."
"Um."
Ruan Yue nodded, "I know. You can just come to me when you're done. But you can't spend it indiscriminately. You can also put aside the part-time job. It's serious to study hard."
"OK."
Lu Chen smiled, put one hand on the edge of the table, bent his fingers, and made a small "knock, knock", paused for a moment, then asked Ruan Yue, "Aren't you afraid that I won't pay you back?"
Ruan Yue pondered for a while, "Anyway, you should study hard and don't drop out of school easily."
After her parents divorced in her previous life, she had always had money on her pocket money card. Ruan Chengyi would send tens of thousands into it from time to time, and Zhao Bingzhi would also call occasionally, but because she hated Ruan Chengyi so much at that time and blamed her mother, the card was kept at home and never moved.
After going to work, she basically spends her wages, a typical paycheck.
She doesn't know Lu Chen's income very well, but he is quite machismo, and he will basically take the initiative to pay the bill when he eats out.
After being together for so long, he was at a disadvantage overall.
If you don't get it, just treat it as if you paid it back to him.
