Chapter 83 A Sunny Morning
Lu Yanhe's popularity came and went quickly.
By Friday morning, on his way to school, not as many people were giving him surprised looks because they recognized him.
It was a bright and sunny morning.
Lu Yanhe slept comfortably for six and a half hours and felt much more relaxed.
He was holding a steamed bun and eating it while standing at the bus stop.
English news was playing in my headphones.
Thanks to this technologically advanced era, he has various ways to improve his exam preparation efficiency.
Officer Qiu's car stopped in front of him again.
The car window was rolled down.
"Get in the car." This time, Qiu Ling didn't ask any questions and just told him to get in the car.
Lu Yanhe smiled with delight.
"Officer Qiu, what brings you up so early?"
It's only 6:30 in the morning.
Qiu Ling said, "Something's wrong."
She drove very fast, and Lu Yanhe became a little nervous.
"A lot of people have been paying attention to you these past few days, haven't they?" Qiu Ling asked with a smile.
“There were a lot of people,” Lu Yanhe said. “It even slightly saved my career, which was on the verge of death. I went to record a program yesterday.”
"Really?" Qiu Ling was pleasantly surprised. "That's great! What program is it? I'll check it out later."
"A web variety show, 'Little Song Gathering' on the Aurora platform."
"What show is this? I've never heard of it."
"The show isn't very popular."
Qiu Ling said, "Your commendation certificate and banner have arrived, and we plan to go to your school to give them to you next Monday."
"Huh? School? Why do we need to go to school?" Lu Yanhe said, "You can just bring it to me after work, we live so close by anyway."
"You think this is just a casual visit with an apple?" Qiu Ling rolled her eyes. "It's a formal awarding ceremony, witnessed by representatives from your school."
"Ah..." There's such a thing? Lu Yanhe inexplicably didn't want to face the embarrassment of "social death".
Imagine being awarded a banner for "heroic act" in full view of everyone, having to accept it solemnly, and then taking a photo with others. Just thinking about it makes me want to dig my toes into the ground.
"What are you doing? You don't want to?"
"It feels... awkward."
"Awkward?" Qiu Ling looked at him in shock and said, "You're an artist, what are you afraid of being embarrassed about? You face so many people every day."
“So many people are strangers, while everyone at school is someone you know. How can that be the same?” Lu Yanhe immediately retorted.
Qiu Ling still didn't understand.
"This is an award, an honor, a good thing. What's embarrassing about it?"
"You don't understand the world of us young people."
Qiu Ling's eyes instantly flashed with murderous intent.
"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm old?"
The murderous intent on Qiu Ling's face filled the narrow space of the carriage. Lu Yanhe's survival instinct kicked in, and he stopped courting death, immediately saying, "You're only two or three years older than us, what's so old about you! If you put on your school uniform and enter our school, the security guards definitely won't stop you."
Qiu Ling then withdrew her dagger-like gaze with satisfaction.
"Anyway, stop talking nonsense, we'll be coming next Monday," she said. "You just stay at school."
Lu Yanhe nodded dejectedly: "I understand."
Qiu Ling escorted Lu Yanhe to the entrance of No. 13 Middle School.
"Thank you, Officer Qiu. I'm leaving now."
"Um."
Lu Yanhe got out of the car and waved to Qiu Ling.
Qiu Ling nodded and left.
That's cool.
Lu Yanhe turned and walked towards the school.
A gust of wind blew by, and it got a bit hot.
In September, as long as it doesn't rain, the weather is only slightly different from August – the ground is no longer hot enough to bake an egg. The sun is already scorching before seven in the morning.
He strode into the teaching building and found Xu Zijun right in front of him.
Lu Yanhe gradually got to know many of his classmates, but he didn't have much contact with Xu Zijun, who was the first person he met.
She was indeed too quiet and rarely spoke in class, unlike Lin Yu, who, although she also studied very hard, was always surrounded by other people and everyone liked her.
When Xu Zijun finished going up one floor and turned to walk up, Lu Yanhe saw that Xu Zijun had her head down, her eyes were red, and she even raised her hand to wipe her eyes.
Is she crying?
Lu Yanhe was taken aback.
Xu Zijun then noticed that Lu Yanhe had appeared behind her at some point.
She paused, glanced at Lu Yanhe helplessly, then quickened her pace and ran away, seemingly unwilling to let him see her tears.
What's wrong with her?
Lu Yanhe arrived at the classroom but did not see Xu Zijun, who was probably in the restroom.
She didn't want him to see it, and she certainly didn't want the other classmates to see it either.
Lu Yanhe scratched his head.
"Linyu, have you thought it through?" He had just sat down when he heard Chen Yi's voice.
Chen Yi was also one of the top students in their class, ranking second only to Lin Yu in the overall ranking.
Lin Yu asked, "What have you decided?"
Chen Yi asked, "Which school's independent admission program are you planning to apply for?"
Lin Yu shook her head: "I haven't decided yet."
Chen Yi sighed, looking conflicted. "The main problem is that several universities that offer recommendation qualifications this year require us to sign an enrollment agreement."
“Yes.” Lin Yu also showed a helpless smile. “This is also what I’m still hesitating about. The schools that can recommend us are not our target universities. But if we want to get a spot through independent enrollment, we have to sign an enrollment agreement, which is very frustrating.”
Chen Yi said, "I discussed it with my parents, and they felt that my performance was too inconsistent, so they wanted me to just play it safe."
Chen Yi's performance fluctuated considerably. When she did well on a test, she could be among the top three in her grade, but when she did poorly, she could fall to around 20th place.
Of course, these are all the troubles of top students.
Lu Yanhe only thought of Xu Zijun's appearance just now after hearing their conversation.
Is she upset because she didn't get a spot in the independent admission program for her desired university?
At that moment, Xu Zijun entered.
Her eyes still looked a little red, but they were mostly back to normal.
She also glanced cautiously at Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe pretended not to notice anything and simply nodded slightly to her.
Today's morning self-study time was for English.
Old Chen entered the classroom two minutes early and handed out the reading comprehension questions from the previous night's test to a few students.
He walked straight up to Lu Yanhe and said, "You've made significant progress lately."
"Oh? Really?" Lu Yanhe looked at Old Chen with a bit of surprise.
Did he accidentally reveal his true strength?
That's not right. He clearly remembers that he deliberately answered half of the questions wrong last night.
Old Chen said, "Although you still got half of the answer wrong, I saw the marks you made on the original text. You basically found every key point. The reason you got it wrong is because you didn't know those words."
Lu Yanhe was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.
We were careless!
