Chapter 88 Sunday
When Lu Yanhe looked up to drink water, he glanced at the comments section and discovered that they had started arguing.
He scrolled up further to see what they were arguing about, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He didn't expect that someone would start arguing in his live stream about Li Zhibai's father's company.
Seeing that his temper was escalating, Lu Yanhe didn't think twice and immediately muted the chat.
No one spoke.
Lu Yanhe continued drinking water.
The number of viewers suddenly plummeted, dropping from 1,727 to 1,209 in just a few dozen seconds.
Lu Yanhe didn't take it to heart.
After finishing his water, he continued working on his problems.
-
They stayed in their dorm all Saturday and didn't go out.
Lu Yanhe kept the live stream running while reading the book.
The comment section was kept closed.
The number of viewers has remained around a thousand.
In the evening, someone in the class group suddenly forwarded a list of names. When I opened it, I found that it was a list of candidates recommended for independent enrollment.
Lu Yanhe glanced at it and was about to close it when he suddenly saw an unexpected name at the end of the page.
Chu Saiying.
Didn't he miss out on the independent enrollment recommendation quota by just one place?
Others in the group raised the same question.
Then, someone said: It's because Xu Zijun gave up her quota.
Then everyone realized that it was indeed the case.
Xu Zijun, who was ranked higher, was originally eligible for a recommendation for independent enrollment, but she gave it up herself.
So only one person was deferred?
Lu Yanhe frowned, looking at Chu Saiying's name, feeling that there was something fishy about this matter.
The most crucial question is, since Chu Saiying has already received offers from Ivy League universities, why is she still competing with others for a spot through the independent admissions program?
Because Chu Saiying was also in the group, although everyone had some doubts, they didn't say it too directly.
"Dinner is ready," Yan Liang said from outside the door.
"They're here."
Lu Yanhe ended his live stream and went outside.
At noon, Xu Jilai left a lot of food uneaten by Li Zhibai. Yan Liang cooked rice, heated up the dishes, and fried an egg for himself.
The three people sat at the coffee table eating.
As soon as Yan Liang sat down, he exclaimed, "Wow, you're amazing! You studied all day without taking a break. That's incredible!"
Lu Yanhe said, "I took a nap at noon."
“That’s quite an exaggeration. No wonder you’ve made so much progress in one go. I suddenly understand now,” Yan Liang said. “I started reading today too. You wouldn’t believe it, but I get a headache as soon as I start reading, especially math and English. It’s like reading gibberish to me. I can’t even understand the questions.”
“You’re exaggerating. You still need to get four or five hundred points in your academic subjects.” Lu Yanhe said, “If you don’t hurry up and catch up on your academic subjects, it would be a real shame if you got into Beijing Arts University with a high professional score but didn’t reach the required academic score.”
“I think so too. I didn’t realize my grades were so bad, even though I knew some of the words before,” Yan Liang said. “From now on, I will wear headphones to memorize words every time I run.”
"Keep it up!"
The sky outside the window was not completely dark yet.
Large swaths of sunset clouds stretched out, forming a magnificent sunset painting.
Li Zhibai was a little quiet tonight.
His parents will be back tomorrow morning.
The truth will soon be revealed.
Lu Yanhe was actually quite conflicted. He didn't want Li Zhibai to be affected, and even he was a little afraid to face him, so one could imagine how Li Zhibai was feeling tonight.
I doubt I'll be able to sleep well.
"Let's play games," Yan Liang said. "We'll play games after we finish eating. It's been a long time since we've played."
"Old Lu still needs to read, why would he fight?" Li Zhibai directly rejected the suggestion.
Lu Yanhe: "Actually, I've been studying all day and I'm a bit tired. How about we play a few rounds? I haven't played in a long time."
Since Lu Yanhe has already said that, what else can Li Zhibai say?
So, after clearing away the dishes, the three of them picked up the game controllers and started playing games.
Some say that games and novels, to some extent, are ways of escaping the real world.
Lu Yanhe, of course, neither agreed nor disagreed with this view.
However, if it allows some people to escape the pain and hardship of the real world, that's fine too.
At this moment, that's exactly what Lu Yanhe was thinking.
The most agonizing moments are those when the outcome is uncertain.
-
That night, even Lu Yanhe couldn't sleep.
Two things kept popping into his mind, one moment he was thinking about Li Zhibai, and the next he was thinking about Chu Saiying.
He usually falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow, but that night, he didn't know when he fell asleep.
In short, when he woke up the next day, Li Zhibai was no longer there.
He told the three of them in a group chat that his parents had come to pick him up and he was going home first.
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang sat facing each other on the sofa at seven in the morning.
When are his parents coming to pick him up?
"have no idea."
When did he leave?
"have no idea."
Both of them slept too soundly last night and didn't hear anything.
"Are you going for a run today?" Lu Yanhe asked Yan Liang.
Yan Liang stared blankly for two seconds before saying, "Run!"
"Then could you buy me two steamed buns and an egg?"
"OK."
Lu Yanhe always adheres to the principle that "time is something you have to make" and never wastes a single minute.
But that morning, he was unusually lost in thought for a while.
It's unclear how Li Zhibai's family situation will be resolved.
But at that moment, Lu Yanhe suddenly received a phone call.
It was a call from Jiang Yuqian, whom I had just met not long ago.
"Are you free today?" Jiang Yuqian asked immediately as soon as the call connected. "If you are free, I'll take you to meet the director."
Lu Yanhe was stunned.
He subconsciously forgot about it because he always felt that it was unlikely to come true, especially with Zhou Ping'an's obstruction. How could he let himself meet the director smoothly?
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuqian's phone call gave him hope.
"I'm free, I'm in my dorm, Sister Yuqian, where can I find you?"
"Send me your dorm address and I'll have a driver pick you up."
"Okay, thank you!"
Lu Yanhe instantly became excited.
Is there really a chance for him to act? Jiang Yuqian took him to meet the director. Today was clearly crucial. If the director was willing to let him act, then the deal would be done.
Surely the director has already given his approval, so Zhou Ping'an wouldn't refuse?
That just doesn't make sense.
He changed his clothes and was about to go out when he ran into Yan Liang, who was returning from his run.
"Where are you going?" Yan Liang asked, looking at Lu Yanhe, who was dressed neatly.
“Yes.” Lu Yanhe nodded. “Jiang Yuqian called me just now and said she wanted to take me to see the director.”
Yan Liang immediately remembered this matter.
"You're going so soon? Good luck!" Yan Liang immediately encouraged him, "You must get this role!"
