Lou Zhijing looked at him with complicated eyes and stammered, "You said last night...you...are...Chu Tianxiong's..."
He couldn't even utter the word "son".
He knew An Xinghe's family situation, so how was he related to Chu Tianxiong?
An Xinghe immediately knew what he was going to say and was silent for a moment. "It's true."
Even after getting the confirmation, Lou Zhijing still opened his eyes wide in disbelief and said subconsciously, "How could this happen?"
"I'm not sure, but I never felt like I was a member of the Chu family. I didn't want anyone to know about this."
"Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone, but why did you say you wanted to explain to Lu Wanying last night?" Lou Zhijing asked curiously.
An Xinghe lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then told him everything about the grudges between him, Wan Ying and Chu Xinrou.
He suddenly realized and said anxiously, "No wonder you agreed to break up."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say angrily, "This Chu Xinrou is really too much. She actually used this matter to threaten you. Lu Wanying is gone anyway, why don't you take revenge?"
"I never wanted to have the blood of the Chu family, so I can't reveal my identity." There is no doubt that An Xinghe hates Chu Xinrou, but revealing his identity is not the way he wants.
Lou Zhijing thought about it and said, "That's right, but are you going to just watch the person who broke you and her apart live so well? It seems unfair just thinking about it."
"Do you have any cigarettes?" An Xinghe asked suddenly, startling Lou Zhijing.
"Yes, but when did you learn to smoke?" he asked in surprise.
"It's been a long time since we met. Give it to me." An Xinghe extended his hand to him, and Lou Zhijing subconsciously put the cigarette box and lighter in his hand.
An Xinghe took a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep breath. The thick smoke enveloped him, adding a sense of decadence.
With a cigarette between his slender fingers, he looked very sophisticated.
Lou Zhijing looked at his posture in shock, "You must have smoked more than once, why haven't I seen you smoke before?"
Smoke obscured his face as he lost himself in memories, and he subconsciously replied, "This is the second time."
He narrowed his eyes, thinking he would never touch this thing again.
But it still happened.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He smoked several cigarettes in a row, and Lou Zhijing quickly stopped him, saying, "An Xinghe, are you not going to keep your body anymore? We can take our time with Wanying's matter."
"How come? Now I don't even know where she went." An Xinghe said bitterly.
"Well...you can take your time to look for it. Hard work pays off and you will find it eventually." Lou Zhijing could only try his best to comfort him.
No comfort would be of any use to him now unless he knew the news about Wanying.
But this is just wishful thinking.
The cell phone suddenly rang. He took a look and saw it was a call from home, so he picked up the phone quickly.
"Mom, I'll be back after lunch. You don't have to wait for me. Okay, I got it."
An Xinghe hung up the phone and threw the remaining cigarettes and lighter to him. "Go buy me a set of clothes. I'm going to take a shower."
The smell of alcohol and cigarettes on him needs to be completely removed.
............
An Xinghe was in a daze for nearly a month, and even Uncle Li, the security guard at No. 2 Middle School, remembered him because he often hung around the door.
The quiz is coming.
An Xinghe unsurprisingly landed in second place. Li Jianqiang, who had always been the runner-up, finally got first place and couldn't help but show off in front of him, "An Xinghe, this is just the beginning."
Lou Zhijing couldn't bear to see this and muttered, "Why are you so proud? If Xinghe didn't let you, do you think you could have gotten first place?"
Li Jianqiang was very unhappy with this and sarcastically said, "You are the last one in the last rank, what qualifications do you have to say that?"
Lou Zhijing said nonchalantly, "I don't care, but do you want to bet with me that Xinghe will definitely surpass you in the next exam?"
Li Jianqiang saw An Xinghe's condition this month. He was like an eggplant hit by frost, finished and unable to cheer up.
"Why shouldn't I bet? If I win, you'll call me dad." Li Jianqiang said proudly.
"Okay, if you lose, just call me dad. If I tell you to go east, you won't dare to go west. How about that?" Lou Zhijing said confidently.
An Xinghe looked at Lou Zhijing with a complicated expression.
"Okay, the other students have heard it, we'll see the results in a month. Lou Zhijing, just wait to call me dad." Li Jianqiang left in a hurry.
Lou Zhijing looked at his back and said contemptuously, "The look of a villain who has achieved success."
"Do you trust me so much?" An Xinghe looked at him with complicated eyes.
Lou Zhijing quickly put on a smile, "You just heard the bet between me and Li Jianqiang, right? As your best friend, you definitely don't want me to call that bastard dad, right? So you must save me."
Looking at him pitifully.
An Xinghe said calmly, "You know that I'm not thinking about anything right now, and you still dare to bet with him?"
A trace of guilt flashed across Lou Zhijing's eyes, but he said firmly, "You will definitely be able to return to your former state next time and surpass him, because you can't bear it."
He swore that he never wanted to see Xinghe in love again. He was pure and indifferent when they were not in love, but once they were in love, it was simply terrible and he was absent-minded all day long.
"Whether I can bear it or not is one thing, and whether I can do it or not is another." An Xinghe said vaguely.
"Not Xinghe, how can you doubt yourself? You are a top student who has never been surpassed by anyone. How could you not do it? Or... you don't want to help me at all?" Lou Zhijing squeezed out a few tears from his eyes.
"I'll try my best." An Xinghe withdrew his gaze.
In fact, he knew very well that Zhijing was using the bet to provoke him.
Lou Zhijing showed a triumphant smile on his face. Xinghe definitely couldn't bear to see him call someone else dad, so he would definitely adjust his mood as soon as possible.
A month later, Lou Zhijing achieved his goal.
An Xinghe returned to the top spot, and no one has surpassed him since then.
He lowered his head and looked at her in the photo, his expression dazed.
Wanying, do you remember that we said we would go to college in the same city?
But now I don’t even know where you went, how can I find you?
Can you tell me in a dream?
Time passed, An Xinghe went through countless exams, big and small, and finally the college entrance examination.
He walked out of the examination room without feeling anything.
Not long after, he checked his score.
710 points.
He can choose from top universities.
Even the homeroom teacher looked at him with relief. Seeing that he hadn't filled out his application yet, he looked at him in confusion, "Xinghe, what are you still hesitating about? With that score, you should definitely apply to Kyoto University."
