Chapter 11 Friday Night
The bell rang to signal the end of the eighth period.
The quiet campus suddenly erupted in chaos.
Lu Yanhe doesn't plan to study at school tonight. He's been pushing himself too hard these past few days and has decided to go home and rest early.
Anyway, the company had already informed the school teachers, so no one cared whether he attended evening self-study sessions or not.
He slung his bag over his shoulder and prepared to leave.
Linyu suddenly called out to him.
"Lu Yanhe, aren't you coming tonight?"
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest."
Linyu asked, "Will you take the monthly exam tomorrow?"
“I’ll participate,” Lu Yanhe said. “After studying so diligently for so long, we should see the results.”
Chen Qin pursed his lips speechlessly upon hearing Lu Yanhe's words.
He only studied seriously for a few days, but then he skipped evening self-study sessions, working sporadically and shamelessly asking to see results...
Chen Qin didn't understand why Lin Yu cared so much about Lu Yanhe, which made him a little annoyed.
Lin Yu said to Lu Yanhe, "We look forward to seeing your progress. If you encounter any difficulties or problems, feel free to contact us. Chen Qin and I are happy to explain them to you."
Chen Qin originally wanted to say he was unwilling, but when he thought that if he was unwilling, Lu Yanhe would go to Lin Yu, which he could not accept, he swallowed the words "I am unwilling".
After Lu Yanhe left, Chen Qin couldn't help but ask Lin Yu, "Why are you so concerned about Lu Yanhe?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "He needs help."
"There are so many people who need help, how can you help them all?" Chen Qin asked.
Lin Yu looked at Chen Qin with a smile, "Are you jealous?"
How could Chen Qin admit that he was jealous?
He immediately denied it.
"Me, jealous of him? Ha!"
“He helped me before,” Lin Yu suddenly said.
"Huh?" Chen Qin looked puzzled.
Since Chen Qin got together with Lin Yu in his second year of high school, he had never seen Lin Yu interact with Lu Yanhe.
What has he ever done for you?
Lin Yu said, "During the high school entrance exam, I took the Chinese exam in the morning. In the same exam room, I sat next to a girl from another school. She asked me to gesture to her so I could tell her the answers, but I ignored her. After the exam, she started to cause trouble for me, forcing me to tell her the answers for the next few exams so she could copy them. Just then, he happened to pass by and, when neither of us was paying attention, filmed the whole process. He then told the girl that if she caused trouble for me again, he would post the video online. Because he helped me with this, I was able to finish the high school entrance exam smoothly."
Chen Qin looked surprised.
“I never expected that we would end up in the same high school, and even be in the same class in our second year. However, he doesn’t seem to remember me at all, so I haven’t talked to him about it again,” Lin Yu said. “I originally wanted to pretend that nothing had happened. He had become a star and was on a completely different path from us. I didn’t want to bother him. But he suddenly came back to school and started studying seriously. I wanted to help him out as a way of repaying him for helping me before.”
Chen Qin's initial displeasure gradually disappeared.
"Oh, I see. Okay then, I'll go with you."
After Chen Qin finished speaking, he emphasized, "But I have no hope that someone like him, who has never studied properly before, can improve much by just studying for a few days. He might just give up and ruin everything."
“So I want to help him persevere,” Lin Yu said. “The school forum says that his group is about to disband, and the reason he started studying seriously is because he can’t get any work in the entertainment industry.”
Chen Qin: "Come on, you actually believe that? These celebrities earn more than others even if they just sit at home doing nothing."
Lin Yu was both amused and exasperated. "These are all things said online, and I don't know if they're true or not. I don't think he's made a lot of money. His phone screen is cracked in several places, but he hasn't replaced it."
Chen Qin: "Others have already switched to the latest model, but we haven't."
Lin Yu: "Who just said they wanted to help him?"
Chen Qin: "..."
-
Lu Yanhe walked out of the school and went to the nearby bus stop.
At this time of day, the area near the school gate is teeming with people, two-thirds of whom are students in school uniforms.
He walked through the crowd, attracting a lot of attention, and many people took out their phones to take pictures of him.
Lu Yanhe walked past as if he hadn't seen anything, wearing headphones and looking straight ahead.
An old man sat at the entrance of the small library with a pot on it, filled with the aroma of braised chicken feet.
Lu Yanhe was tempted and wanted to buy two, but when he thought of his precarious balance, he resolutely left.
day.
When will we no longer be so poor?
Lu Yanhe sighed.
Zhou Ping'an definitely won't give him any work now.
Without work, there is no pay; one can only receive the minimum allowance.
Now, the company doesn't provide him with a car, so he has to take the bus or subway to go anywhere, and he has to pay for every trip himself. Even with public transportation, it's still quite expensive considering his remaining 1,000 yuan.
Lu Yanhe returned to his dormitory and happened to run into Li Zhibai, who was about to leave.
"You're back already?" Li Zhibai said. "I've made plans to have hot pot with Zhang Zhelin, do you want to come along?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "The monthly exam is tomorrow, so I need to cram tonight and get some rest early."
Li Zhibai nodded speechlessly and said, "Alright, I wish you success."
"If you could bring me some food back, it would be a great blessing for my success." Lu Yanhe smiled sincerely. "Just cook up the leftovers and bring them back for me."
Li Zhibai: "..."
"Thank you, brother!" Lu Yanhe bowed without saying a word.
Li Zhibai: "Stay away from me! You're bending over so deeply, you're shortening my lifespan!"
He's gone.
Lu Yanhe returned to his bedroom and did nothing else but review the key points.
At times like this, I'm too lazy to delve into questions I don't usually know how to answer; securing points is the key.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Zhibai returned, carrying a large box of food: beef, lotus root slices, potatoes, lucky bags, basa fish... The box was full of food, and the aroma was irresistible as soon as the lid was opened.
He threw it on the coffee table in the living room and shouted, "Come and eat it quickly, or it will get cold."
Lu Yanhe quickly came out.
"Thank you, boss!"
He bowed again in greeting.
"Thank you my ass!" Li Zhibai looked at Lu Yanhe with disdain. "Where did the reserved Lu Yanhe of the past go?"
Lu Yanhe clutched his heart: "In my sealed memories."
Li Zhibai: "Believe it or not, I'll vomit right in front of you right now."
Lu Yanhe immediately sat down. "Calm down, someone wants to eat."
Li Zhi asked a hundred questions: "Has Yan Liang not returned yet?"
"No." Lu Yanhe shook his head.
"It takes so long to record a program."
According to the filming schedule, it should have been finished long ago.
At 10:30, Lu Yanhe finished showering and was drying his hair when he heard a noise at the door. He guessed that Yan Liang had returned.
He dried his hair and came out, only to be startled by what he saw.
Yan Liang was lying motionless in the entryway.
