Chapter 127 Red and Black
When Lu Yanhe saw Qiu Ling looking over, he waved again.
Qiu Ling was somewhat surprised: "You haven't left yet?"
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang also got off the carriage.
Just as Qiu Ling was about to say something, Lu Yanhe suddenly gave her a wink.
Qiu Ling frowned in confusion.
Just then, Li Zhibai suddenly pointed at the back of Qiu Ling's car: "You're still running!"
A figure flashed past Qiu Ling's car.
Li Zhibai chased after him immediately.
Qiu Ling watched in surprise as Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang followed after them.
The three boys ran very fast, flanking the man from three directions, and quickly cornered him.
Another important reason why they were able to catch up so quickly was that the person was a woman, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, and therefore not running very fast.
Qiu Ling hurriedly caught up, looking at the woman in front of her with a puzzled expression.
"What's going on?" Qiu Ling asked.
Li Zhibai immediately explained, "We saw someone hiding behind your car. Since you arrived at that moment, we were worried that someone might attack you secretly, so Lao Lu got out of the car and called out to you. Do you recognize this person?"
"Let me go! Let go of me!" the woman in the baseball cap shouted.
"Shut up!" Li Zhibai twisted the woman's arm and ordered, "What are you trying to do, sneaking around behind Officer Qiu's car! Speak!"
Qiu Ling sized up the woman for a long time, but still felt she was a stranger. As she looked her over, she stepped forward and touched the woman to make sure she didn't have any weapons that could be used to attack others before she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are you? What do you want?" she asked.
The woman had a cold face, didn't speak, and her eyes were full of anger.
"Let me tell you, this is a police officer. Don't think you can hide anything from her," Li Zhibai threatened. "What's your purpose in coming to see her?"
At this moment, Yan Liang came over with a piece of paper.
He waved it and said, "Officer Qiu, there's this clipped to your rear window."
Qiu Ling took it in her hand with a puzzled look, glanced at it, and then widened her eyes in surprise.
"You know Su Su?"
The woman in the baseball cap snorted and cursed, "Don't mention that disgusting man to me!"
"Who is Su Su?" Li Zhibai asked immediately.
He was also very curious about the contents of that piece of paper.
Qiu Ling explained, "It's the man I was having dinner with just now."
Li Zhibai immediately glared: "The person you went on a blind date with?"
"I already said it's not a blind date, it's just to get to know each other." Qiu Ling glared at Li Zhibai, who immediately became obedient.
Qiu Ling looked at her, waved the paper in her hand, and asked, "Did you come here specifically to remind me?"
The woman in the baseball cap stopped struggling, lowered her head, and put on a stern face.
Qiu Ling was silent for a moment, then said, "Let her go."
Li Zhibai: "Is there no danger anymore?"
“She wasn’t carrying any weapons,” Qiu Ling said.
Li Zhibai and Lu Yanhe then released her.
She turned and ran, but after a couple of steps she stopped and turned to look at Qiu Ling.
"He's a complete scumbag, open your eyes wide!"
Lu Yanhe and the others looked completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on.
"What exactly is written on this?" Li Zhibai asked, pointing to the paper in Qiu Ling's hand.
Yan Liang said, "The document states that Su Su is a man who starts relationships and then abandons them, constantly using women to climb the social ladder. It serves as a reminder to Officer Qiu not to be deceived by his appearance."
"Huh?" Li Zhibai and Lu Yanhe both looked surprised.
We initially thought it was a criminal trying to attack Officer Qiu, but it turns out it was just this incident?
It's a bit unbelievable, I can't imagine it.
Only Li Zhibai immediately reacted and said, "Heh! Officer Qiu, it seems that the man you were having dinner with earlier is indeed no good. What must he have done to make a woman go to such lengths to remind you? He must hate you to this extent."
Qiu Ling waved her hand and said, "Don't... never mind, you only know me anyway. Just don't go around talking about it. This Su Su, he's got some connections. I need to find out what's going on."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
This matter had nothing to do with his life, and he didn't want to get involved at all.
The designated driver that Qiu Ling called arrived.
She got into the car and waved to them.
"No matter what, thank you for protecting me again." Qiu Ling smiled and thanked them.
Li Zhibai patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, with us here, we definitely won't let you get hurt!"
Lu Yanhe covered his face with one hand, feeling incredibly embarrassed.
Yan Liang felt similarly embarrassed and covered his face.
Qiu Ling is gone.
Li Zhibai was still standing there watching, a silly grin on his face.
"Stop laughing, everyone's gone." Lu Yanhe called out to the silly dog, who was lost in inexplicable happiness, "We should go back too!"
-
Lu Yanhe has set aside time for himself tonight to catch up on his Chinese language studies.
The Chinese language subject is a bit different in this timeline.
Lu Yanhe had just learned that ten points of the Chinese exam were about world classics.
In the last monthly exam, the section on that topic was China's Four Great Classical Novels, and he didn't even realize it.
It was only after Lin Yu mentioned it to him that he realized this score of ten was based not only on the four great classical novels of China, but also on famous works from abroad.
There's an extra piece of foundational knowledge I need to fill, Lu Yanhe thought to himself, thankfully I didn't find out until after the college entrance exam.
But this is not surprising.
The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is the same as the one Lu Yanhe came from. In different provinces and different years, the focus, methods and syllabus of the exam are different. Moreover, in a different time and space, there are always some differences.
Lu Yanhe took a book of study materials on classic literature from Lin Yu and decided to read it from beginning to end.
It would be difficult to find the time to read the original works, as there are more than twenty books, so he decided to make up for these shortcomings by reading speed-reading versions.
As soon as he got back to his dorm, Lu Yanhe immediately started his live stream.
"Sorry everyone, I had some things to take care of today and just got back." He greeted everyone first.
The number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed.
Thanks to the efforts made in the early stages, Lu Yanhe's live stream now has an average of over a thousand viewers online.
"Today I'm going to look at the classic literature section," Lu Yanhe said with a sigh. "You might not believe it, but I just found out that we have a 10-point question in our Chinese language subject that tests knowledge of classic literature."
A barrage of question marks instantly appeared in the comments section.
Lu Yanhe: "I know, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but luckily we found out now, otherwise we would have been doomed."
Opening the reference book Lin Yu gave me, the first book she introduced was Stendhal's "The Red and the Black".
In the blank space, Lin Yu wrote an excerpt in her neat handwriting: I come from hell, and I am going to heaven, passing through the human world.
This is a line from "The Red and the Black," and Lu Yanhe had seen this famous quote even though he hadn't read the original text.
