Chapter 5 Turning Around to Go to the Hospital
Li Zhibai drove Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang to a nearby restaurant for a meal.
In the car, Li Zhibai told Yan Liang, as if he were telling a sensational news story, about how Lu Yanhe almost drowned in the river.
Yan Liang stared at Lu Yanhe in shock.
"You didn't come back all night yesterday because of this?" he said in shock. "I thought you went to your uncle's house for your birthday."
Lu Yanhe: "Don't tell anyone else about this."
"Does Brother Ping An know?"
"I know, he's the one who picked me up yesterday."
"I knew it! I called him first thing this morning, and he was grumbling and in a really bad mood. Turns out he didn't sleep well last night." Li Zhibai chuckled. "I thought he was going through menopause."
Yan Liang: "Why did you call him so early in the morning? Is it just to steal the Supernova Games?"
"Are you out of your mind? I told you this has nothing to do with me, but you still keep bringing it up." Li Zhibai said speechlessly, "I didn't even want to be on this stupid show. Running around and sweating all over the place."
Yan Liang said, "Then go and talk to Zhou Ping'an and ask him to give me back the opportunity to participate in this program."
Li Zhibai: "Why should I? He's already given me this opportunity, why would I give it back to you? Am I crazy to do such a great thing?"
That's true... and they're quite self-righteous.
Lu Yanhe felt his head buzzing from the noise of his two teammates.
These two are too noisy.
"Then why did you say you didn't want to be on this show?"
"I wouldn't actively seek out such an opportunity, but since they've offered it to me willingly, why wouldn't I take it?"
"Oh."
"Fuck your sister."
"You daughter!"
...
Lu Yanhe decided to quickly find a topic to end their endless argument in this cramped space.
"Stop, don't either of you have any work to do today?" he asked.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang finally stopped arguing.
“What kind of job do I have?” Li Zhibai said. “Last week, a bunch of Luna’s fans accused me of riding on her coattails and kept cursing at me in the comments section of my Weibo. Zhou Ping’an told me to lay low for a while, so I’ve stopped working this week.”
Yan Liang sneered, "Serves you right."
Lu Yanhe was afraid that the two would start arguing again, so he quickly asked Yan Liang before Li Zhibai could retaliate.
"And what about you?"
Yan Liang is a model student in the Fengzhi group. He is serious, positive, and although his personality is quite ordinary in private, he always has the best image in public.
Yan Liang said, "I have to practice dancing this afternoon. I'm going to record 'Hello, Life' this Friday. They've arranged for me to do a dance performance on the show."
A faint sense of envy arose in Lu Yanhe's heart.
He was surprised by his own feelings; he couldn't help but feel envious when he heard that others had work arrangements.
Is this the original owner's intense obsession?
Yan Liang asked, "Yan He, why are you carrying such a big bag?"
“I’m going to school this afternoon,” Lu Yanhe said. “When Brother Ping’an brought me back yesterday, he suggested that I spend more time studying, and I think he makes a lot of sense.”
Yan Liang and Li Zhibai both fell silent for a moment.
In fact, as Lu Yanhe's teammates, they all felt that Lu Yanhe was not really suitable for the entertainment industry, given that he was an average singer with no special talents and came from a poor family.
But they never said any of these things to Lu Yanhe's face.
Although Lu Yanhe never said it outright, almost everyone in the Fengzhi group knew about Lu Yanhe's longing for the stage and the camera.
Especially as Lu Yanhe's roommates, Yan Liang and Li Zhibai knew how hard their teammate worked.
Unfortunately, some people only need to put in ten points of effort to achieve a hundred points of results, while others put in a hundred points of effort but can only achieve ten points of results.
Lu Yanhe had no intention of letting the atmosphere linger on his end.
"I've thought it through. If I can get 600 points on the college entrance exam, I'll definitely be a top student," he said. "Then I'll be the best student among celebrities, and I won't have to worry about not getting attention."
Yan Liang, being Lu Yanhe's classmate at No. 13 Middle School, knew Lu Yanhe's usual grades very well. Therefore, upon hearing what Lu Yanhe said, he was momentarily at a loss as to whether to encourage him or... encourage him.
"Yan He, you fell into the water yesterday. Did you catch a cold? Did you have a fever?" Yan Liang asked.
Otherwise, why would someone say something that sounds like they've lost their mind?
Lu Yanhe: "Maybe I can even get into Peking University."
"Peking University?" Yan Liang asked in confusion, "Where is Peking University?"
Lu Yanhe then realized that he had let something slip.
In this parallel world, there are no Tsinghua and Peking Universities, only Yuming University and Zhenhua University, whose status among domestic universities is equivalent to that of Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
He explained, "Uh, I misspoke. I meant, maybe I can still get into Yuming or Zhenhua."
Yan Liang said to Li Zhibai with a worried expression, "Why don't you turn around first, and we'll go to the hospital?"
Li Zhibai nodded seriously, "I think it's a good idea."
Lu Yanhe: "...Do you two have to go this far?"
“You’re like a completely different person overnight,” Yan Liang said.
"That's because when I was almost dead, I suddenly realized something," Lu Yanhe said.
"What have you thought about?"
“If I die, I will leave nothing behind in this world,” Lu Yanhe said. “I want to start over and not be like I was before.”
Yan Liang said, "The idea is good, but people still need to be more down-to-earth."
"Exactly. If you could have gotten into Yuming or Zhenhua, your uncle wouldn't have sent you to participate in the talent show in the first place."
Lu Yanhe said, "Let's try our best first. Who knows? You still have to have dreams, what if you see a ghost?"
Yan Liang: "...Alright then, you should try your best first."
He and Li Zhibai exchanged a glance in the driver's seat and the passenger seat, respectively, and both saw the same surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.
The changes in Lu Yanhe are too great.
Overnight, that timid, submissive person who dared not utter a single word suddenly transformed into who he is now.
It's not that she completely changed as a person, but it's as if she suddenly had a breakthrough, and her whole personality became confident and flamboyant.
At least Yan Liang would never joke with Lu Yanhe like "Let's turn around and go to the hospital."
I dare not drive it.
Lu Yanhe used to be too sensitive. He wouldn't say anything, but he was bothered by things and tended to overthink.
Today... many things are different.
The atmosphere among the three of them has also changed.
Li Zhibai parked the car, got out, and put on sunglasses and a mask.
Yan Liang also put on a baseball cap and a mask.
Lu Yanhe, who had no such person, had no worries and got out of the car openly and without any attempt to conceal his identity.
"Robbery—he stole my bag—"
A scream suddenly erupted from the ground.
