This is an era where getting into college means soaring to great heights, an era where opportunities abound for rapid success, and also an era where genuine, unwavering emotions still exist;

Chapter 131 Li Ye just wants to be alone
"Director Zhang? What should we do?"
Lu Jingyao was startled and suddenly a little flustered.
In the series of strategies Liu Muhan listed for her, Director Zhang was an important figure that could not be avoided. It was no exaggeration to say that his words could decide life and death.
Liu Muhan smiled and said, "Qian Shun can influence Director Zhang, so can we! Director Zhang is moving this Sunday, are you willing to go with me?"
"This family hasn't informed us yet, is that appropriate?"
Lu Jingyao was a little hesitant. After all, Director Zhang's moving was a private matter. If she went there rashly, she might become a bad guest.
While packing his schoolbag, Liu Muhan said, "My dad knows Director Zhang, and he asked me to send him a housewarming gift. You can just come with me."
"Thank you so much, Mu Han."
Lu Jingyao finally determined what Liu Muhan meant by "no need" just now.
If others want to study abroad, they don’t need to work as hard as I do.
Look at He Xue, who is scheming and flattering this and that in school all day long, trying every possible way to find a way, but she never thought that the real talented people are right in the same dormitory with everyone.
Of course, perhaps starting from that piece of soap, He Xue lost any possibility of becoming friends with Liu Muhan!
. . . . . .
On Saturday afternoon, Wen Leyu finished class early and was anxious for Li Ye to take her to the bus stop.
Li Ye rode his bike with the girl across half of the campus, and asked as he rode: "We will get our house tomorrow, can't you come over and ask for advice?"
Wen Leyu said, "What do you think of my advice? Aren't Hu Man and Xiao Yan not going tomorrow? I really left something at home and forgot to bring it with me. Let's go quickly."
"All right then!"
Li Ye did not persuade him any more. He just thought that since he had bought a house, he should let Wen Leyu go and see it together.
In the previous life, if a boy wanted to buy a house, he had to let a girl see it first, and then he would be guided by the girl in a series of ways.
[Add a name, add a name, you must add a name, or we will disband. ]
[I have the final say on decoration and furniture, and you ask me if I can pay for it? I'm such a grown-up and I've given it to you, if you don't give me the change, it's a bargain for you, right?]
But Wen Leyu doesn’t care about the house at all, as if he doesn’t care about anything.
However, seeing Li Ye pedaling silently, Wen Leyu gently hit his back with his little fist.
"There's a freshman dance next week, and I have to go back and get my high heels. All the students in my dormitory have high heels.
Also, my dad’s company gave him two pairs of imported leather shoes, I’ll go get one for you.”
"Your dad's shoes don't fit me!"
Wen Leyu said proudly: "Don't worry about it. I have arranged for someone to change it for you tomorrow. Let's go quickly. I have to get home before my brother does."
Li Ye was surprised. What he said about inappropriate was different from what Wen Leyu understood as inappropriate.
Wen Leyu thought that Wen Qingsheng was much taller than Li Ye, and his shoes were at least two sizes larger, so he found a solution.
"Then I'll take you back directly!"
"How far do you have to go? You've lost weight in the past two days. Take a good rest for two days."
“.”
The girl really cares about Li Ye.
. . . . . .
On Sunday morning, Li Ye strictly followed Wen Leyu's instructions, slept until he woke up naturally, washed up, went downstairs to eat, and then rode his bike slowly to Zaojun Temple.
Mr. Zhang is moving today, and Li Ye has to go over to complete the final handover of the house.
I rode all the way to the entrance of the alley and saw from a distance that there were a lot of things placed in front of the Zhang family's door. It was obvious that they had started moving things out early in the morning.
According to the agreement, all the furniture in the house was left to Li Ye, but the books, bedding and daily necessities had to be taken away. Those electrical appliances were even more precious and could not be left to Li Ye.
Look at that TV set. It is carefully wrapped in a quilt, just like a baby in swaddling clothes.
I wonder how they will feel many years later when they find out that they can buy a truckload of televisions for just any chair in their home.
In addition, Mr. Zhang is moving out of here to live in the school's new building, the kind with a toilet in the house.
Because the country has strict regulations on housing allocation at the moment, one person cannot occupy two houses, and a couple can only own one house even if they work in different units.
So Mr. Zhang had no choice but to sell his courtyard house before he could buy an apartment.
Alas~
When he reached the gate of the courtyard, Li Ye saw Lao Song, Wei Jiaxian and Tan Min squatting against the wall.
Hao Jian will arrive in Beijing from Yangcheng this morning, so Jin Peng and Wang Jianqiang will go to the train station to pick him up, and Li Ye will send the other three to help with the move.
"What's going on?" Li Ye asked with a smile, "You three are so tired after carrying just a few things that you can't stand up?"
"Why do we need to move anything?" Old Song laughed and pointed inside, "Go in and take a look! College students are more capable than strong laborers."
“Are there any students who can help?”
Li Ye didn't expect this.
For a university professor like Mr. Zhang, the school should arrange for the general affairs department to provide vehicles and personnel for moving, and there should be no need for students.
As soon as Li Ye entered the door, he found a group of students fiddling around with the osmanthus tree in the yard.
Hoes and shovels were used in turn to dig a large trench around the osmanthus tree. It seemed that they wanted to transplant the tree with its roots and soil.
My goodness, moving a tree can save a life, and transplanting trees is a technical job.
"Hey, you're here, buddy,"
Zhang Rui saw Li Ye and hurried over to greet him: "My father has taken care of this osmanthus tree for many years, and he has some feelings for it, so..."
Li Ye smiled and said, "I understand, but transplanting flowers and trees is a delicate job and requires a lot of care."
Zhang Rui raised his chin and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I hired a classmate from the Agricultural College, he is very professional."
Only then did Li Ye realize that among the group of students, there was a student who was mumbling to himself and looked particularly professional.
But haha.
As long as you are happy.
The people digging the soil finally finished their work. A large ball of soil was dug out at the roots of the osmanthus tree to increase the survival rate of the transplant.
At this time, Mr. Zhang came out of the house and invited everyone to have tea.
"Thank you Director Zhang, your tea is really delicious."
"Director Zhang, your tea set is so beautiful."
"Actually, I think Director Zhang's furniture is more beautiful."
"Of course! Otherwise, how could it be worth two thousand dollars?"
“Ahem…”
The jokes of several students made Zhang Rui, who was standing next to them, feel a little embarrassed.
Li Yehua spent two thousand yuan to buy his furniture, and he always felt that he got a bargain.
Mr. Zhang smiled and introduced to everyone: "This student is the owner of the new house, the young writer Qi Cun Dao Feng."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they noticed Li Ye.
One of the girls asked in disbelief, "Are you the Seven-Inch Blade who wrote "Insidious"? "
Li Ye nodded and said, "Yes, I am."
Several students gathered around immediately.
"How come you are so young!"
"Why do you want to buy a house in Beijing? Are you going to settle down in Beijing?"
Zhang Rui answered for Li Ye: "He is a freshman at Beijing University this year! He is younger than us, but he has already earned tens of thousands of yuan in royalties. How do you feel? Are you ashamed?"
"Tens of thousands of dollars in royalties?"
Several students were shocked at once, and their eyes as they looked at Li Ye seemed to be reflecting golden light.
"Are you from the Chinese Department of Beijing University?"
"No, I study world economics."
"So did your novel really make a lot of money?"
“Ok, not too much”
Li Ye started chatting with a few students enthusiastically. After a while, he realized that these students were all from Beijing Foreign Studies University, and most of them were from the Student Union.
The reason why we came to help Mr. Zhang move was to express the students' high respect for their teacher.
"Hello, my name is Qian Shun. We have set up a Qingya Literature Society outside Beijing. We must communicate more when we have time. I have read your work "Lush", which is a very novel story."
"Okay, I'll definitely have time."
Li Ye exchanged polite greetings with the other party, but had no intention of having a deep conversation with them.
As soon as I heard the name "Qingya", I knew that he was a literary youth, not the same kind of person as a popular fiction writer like me.
But the other party was very enthusiastic, and a girl came over and shook hands with Li Ye.
"Hello, I'm He Xue, a student of the English Department of Beijing Foreign Studies University, Class of 1981. Can you please leave me your contact information? We can communicate via correspondence in the future."
Is this for pen pals?
But Li Ye was stunned for a moment.
Class of 1981, English Department, doesn’t that mean he is Lu Jingyao’s classmate?
It’s such a big school outside Beijing, it can’t be such a coincidence, right?
But there is something even more coincidental.
Two girls walked in at the gate of the courtyard, one was Liu Muhan and the other was Lu Jingyao.
Liu Muhan smiled as he entered the room: "Hello, Uncle Zhang."
Director Zhang also stood up and said with a smile: "Mu Han is here. Why are you still taking things, kid?"
"My dad didn't have time to come over, so he asked me to bring you a little gift to congratulate you on your new home."
Liu Muhan was halfway through his words when his expression suddenly became strange and he looked at Li Ye behind Zhang Rui.
Director Zhang was still being polite: "Your father is so polite, so polite, is he in good health?"
Liu Muhan had no choice but to respond: "Uh, okay."
He Xue and others in the yard also stood there in a daze.
They never expected that the extremely annoying petty-bourgeois Liu Muhan actually knew Director Zhang, and it was not just an acquaintance.
Looking at the smile on Director Zhang's face, He Xue knew what she had missed.
[Lu Jingyao is really lucky]
He Xue looked at Lu Jingyao with a sullen face, and then she found that Lu Jingyao's face looked very ugly. She was no longer as sharp and tough as she was a few days ago, as if she had returned to her worst state half a year ago.
Director Zhang also noticed something was wrong, and finally followed Liu Muhan's gaze and looked at Li Ye.
"Do you know each other?"
"We met on the train," Liu Muhan quickly recovered and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet him here again."
Director Zhang smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Li Ye bought my house. If you have time in the future, you can communicate more."
"Li Ye? Li Ye from Qingshui County?"
He Xue couldn't help but exclaim.
When they first entered school last year, He Xue and Ma Liko often instigated Lu Jingyao to cry out for justice against that country bully.
They had all picked up letters sent by Li Ye for Lu Jingyao, so they knew Li Ye's name.
"You know him too?"
Director Zhang was really surprised. He looked at Li Ye's handsome face and couldn't help but become alert.
Could it be that this boy is a playboy who likes to flirt with women everywhere?
Didn’t you see that Liu Muhan just met by chance on the train, so the look in his eyes was wrong?
He Xue's mind raced, and she smiled awkwardly, "We have only heard of the name Li Ye before, because he is Lu Jingyao's..."
"Uncle Zhang, I have something to tell you, is it convenient for you?"
"Why is that inconvenient? Let's go inside and talk."
Liu Muhan interrupted He Xue's words in time and led Director Zhang into the main room.
He Xue, Qian Shun and others had strange expressions on their faces. They gathered together and began whispering, looking at Lu Jingyao from time to time with a gloomy expression.
Zhang Rui was also very curious and wanted to ask Li Ye what was going on, but Li Ye looked at his nose and his nose at his heart, like an old monk in meditation, and ignored everyone.
About seven or eight minutes later, the sound of a car engine was heard outside. It was a car from outside Beijing that came to help Director Zhang move.
Liu Muhan and Director Zhang also walked out of the house.
"Come on, come on, load the car quickly."
Liu Muhan grabbed the branch of the osmanthus tree first and put on a working hard posture.
He Xue and others were not willing to fall behind, so they rushed to lift the trees and load them onto the truck.
Director Zhang looked at Li Ye and nodded slightly with a subtle look in his eyes.
Li Ye said, "Professor Zhang, can I take up a few minutes of your time?"
Lu Jingyao, who was moving things, almost fell down.
What is he going to do?
Will he destroy me?
It can be said that with the current atmosphere, if Li Ye exaggerated a few words, Lu Jingyao would be finished.
Women who divorce normally are discriminated against, let alone those who take the initiative to break up the marriage?
Director Zhang had a strange look on his face, nodded, and led Li Ye into the main room.
After entering the room, Director Zhang looked at Li Ye and said, "Do you want to tell me about Lu Jingyao?"
Li Ye nodded and said, "Lu Jingyao and I knew each other before, and our parents wanted to bring us together, so we followed the traditional etiquette and there was nothing immoral between us."
Director Zhang showed a surprised expression, but did not say anything. Instead, he continued to listen.
"But Lu Jingyao and I have no relationship now, so I think neither of us should cause harm or interference to the other.
If she is maliciously slandered by others because of me, isn't it my sin?"
Li Ye looked outside and saw He Xue and others who were working together to fight the tree.
A group of students came together early in the morning to help Director Zhang move. They must have something to ask for, and it might be something that they were asking for, which created competition.
If we think about the situation outside Beijing, it becomes clear what everyone is looking for.
Director Zhang suddenly laughed.
"Student Li Ye, I'm really surprised that my niece Liu just said that you are a sensible and generous person. I didn't quite believe it, but now, I believe it."
"Don't worry, I will never allow anyone to influence the moral evaluation of any student in a malicious and slanderous way. What do you think?"
Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Director Zhang with a smile, then turned and left.
Li Ye is not a merciful saint. He just wants Lu Jingyao to go away so that he can have some peace and quiet.
Lu Jingyao doesn't want to see Li Ye again, and the same goes for Li Ye.
The way Wen Leyu looked at Lu Jingyao made Li Ye feel a little worried, so he decided to let her stay away!
Lu Jingyao, who was carrying the osmanthus tree, saw Li Ye coming out and felt confused again.
But Liu Muhan next to him whispered: "Don't worry, he is a kind and good person."
"but……"
Liu Muhan looked up at the spacious courtyard, then shook his head with a smile.
Maybe going far away is the best ending for Lu Jingyao!
