Day 84
Although you may say that Zhu Yingzhang is ignorant of the sufferings of the world, he is quite knowledgeable about prices. Although you may say that he has emotional intelligence, he can accurately step on landmines.
Looking at Zhang Lu, a petite girl, cursing at Zhu Yingzhang, who could only endure it awkwardly, Li Pengcheng and Fu Xunyan remained silent.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Lu got into their car and awkwardly took the initiative to bring up the whole story.
"I haven't done anything illegal or immoral. Our orphanage has a trial adoption policy, and that day a couple from Hai City wanted to adopt me, so they brought me out to play."
"Their family is very wealthy. Not only did they give me a camera, they also let me stay at the Jingshi Grand Hotel."
According to Zhang Lu's previous personality, she would definitely suspect that the other party had ulterior motives. After all, these days there are too few families who adopt children over ten years old, especially little girls.
People at this age have been remembering many years, and even children have their own little thoughts, which most families try to avoid.
But Zhang Lu had that dream.
She desperately wanted to verify whether what happened in the dream was just her imagination or some kind of "precognitive dream", because...
"Because in my dream, their family was really nice to me and supported me in chasing stars. Yes, the stars I chase included you."
"But I think I went a little too far. I was very willful until I was eighteen, and I didn't study hard. As a result..."
Zhang Lu was a little hesitant when she said this. Standing on the side of the road, she looked at the backs of Zhu Yingzhang and Li Pengcheng in the car in the distance and fell into a brief silence.
Before leaving, she found that she still had the urge to talk and had to share the secret, but only with the person in her dream.
"But when they came to pick me up from the concert that day, the plane crashed."
The girl hung her head, looking particularly pitiful in the foggy suburban alley on a summer night.
The tip of her nose was already slightly red, but she stubbornly refused to allow herself to cry.
Zhang Lu didn't expect it to end like that. She also didn't understand why her 18-year-old self in the dream couldn't speak nicely and always looked dissatisfied, as if the whole world owed her something.
Although her adoptive parents are always saddened by her, they will comfort each other behind the scenes and tell each other that this is the child's adolescence and they should spend more time with her.
She was inappropriate in the dream.
Fu Xunyan looked at the girl's drooping head and understood her purpose in finding him.
"So you want to know from me whether the dream is true or not, right?"
Zhang Lu nodded.
"And then?" The young man's voice was as ethereal as a cloud, floating in the mist.
"I...should I not go to their house? I feel like going there will only cause trouble."
Zhang Lu didn't understand why she became like that. The only solution she could think of now was to stay away from that kind couple.
If a world is a dimension, then in a certain time and space, Zhang Lu has already deeply wronged them. The Zhang Lu here cannot make amends, but she wants to atone for her sins.
She originally thought that Fu Xunyan would understand her thoughts and support her, but she didn't expect that in the dark night, those eyes gave her another answer.
"Is that how you escape?"
"I haven't even left New Century yet, and you're just abandoning your adoptive parents like that."
"I'm not giving up," Zhang Lu retorted, "I just... don't want to hurt them."
"But they like you very much, and you must have had a lot of fun in Beijing. But if you reject them, they won't understand why, which is really hurtful."
Is that so? Zhang Lu was stunned.
"Assuming the dream is real, if you acted like that in the dream and they still loved you so much, doesn't that prove that they need you?"
"And you see, you had dreams and predicted many things. If you go to them, wouldn't you be able to protect them and be filial to them better?"
It seems so... Zhang Lu miraculously discovered that Fu Xunyan was actually very good at persuading people.
"Then I should accept it, right?"
Fu Xunyan shook his head again: "I don't know if it's right or not, I only know whether I'm willing or not. At least, I'm willing to participate in "New Century" again, what about you?"
Zhang Lu understood.
The welfare home staff finally arrived at the meeting place and expressed their gratitude to Fu Xunyan for sending Zhang Lu back. Along the way, a volunteer who usually got along well with Zhang Lu asked her worriedly where she had been and how she could be sent back by a stranger.
Zhang Lu turned around and gave Fu Xunyan and the others a super bright and youthful smile.
"He's not a stranger, he's an idol!"
Fu Xunyan watched Zhang Lu being hit on the head again, grinning as he hugged the volunteer sister's arm and completely disappeared from their sight.
**
As the good news of Fu Xunyan's return to the base spread, the announcement of Kenny's withdrawal from the competition also shocked everyone.
Of course, what was even more explosive was that Yang Qing, the chief planner of "New Century", accepted money from unknown sources and fabricated false vote counts to deceive "consumers". He was not only fired but also faced imprisonment.
For a while, not to mention the netizens outside, even the trainees inside couldn’t eat the melon.
"Ahhh, I have a headache. This is the first time my brain, the gossip prince, has overloaded and can't work anymore." Liu Yongshan slept on the table in distress, looking dejected.
"Who isn't?" Wu Ruike beside him nodded vigorously. "Although I knew the vote count was fake, I didn't expect Yang to go to jail for it."
Liu Yongshan then said with a serious face: "This is a warning to us to abide by the law."
"So what's going on with Kenny?"
Shao Ruzhou had followed Zhou Hengyu, thinking that this young master had given him shelter. But when he came out, he discovered that there was no rain at all! Upon hearing Liu Yongshan's question, he cautiously approached.
"Kenny deliberately caused Fu Xunyan's allergy. Someone submitted evidence and it spread all over the internet. He's really vicious."
"Fortunately, he's not from our country. It seems like there's some extradition or protection issue involved, so he can't be convicted for now."
Liu Yongshan waved his hand and said, "What? You're harming my brother Fu? I'll definitely ruin his reputation!"
Wu Ruike quickly stopped his overly immature behavior; "Yes, yes, you don't need to make it public. He's already been ruined. Even if he withdraws from the competition, he'll be a bad name in the industry from now on."
Liu Yongshan suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Oh, by the way, if Kenny withdraws, can our second-best-looking person be re-selected?"
Everyone around him said in unison: "Give up."
Shao Ruzhou silently added, "I think Pennyline has also been hit hard right now. Last time, the Chinese branch was shut down because of Gu Tingchuan's incident. Now even the headquarters will probably be in trouble."
"Of course, its market price has plummeted in the past two days. This company's methods are really shady."
Shao Ruzhou complained in his heart: He targeted Fu Xunyan again and again, and he kept falling flat on his face. It seems that Fu Xunyan has some kind of metaphysics, right?
As he was thinking about this, he saw Fu Xunyan and a group of people approaching from afar. Shao Ruzhou was too embarrassed to face him because of Yigong's collusion with Zhou Hengyu, so he slipped away during the chaos.
The moment Fu Xunyan sat down, seven or eight people around him rushed to surround him tightly.
Chen Chi, who was at the very side, held up a fork in an exaggerated manner, pretending to inspect.
"Hey, I will never allow any dirty things to get close to Brother Fu again!"
Bai Wenji also solemnly stuffed a Ping An Fu with a curled edge into Fu Xunyan's pocket.
"I asked for this during my senior year of high school. It's been very helpful. Take it."
"That's to ensure academic success, not safety." Da Pei sipped on yogurt, squinted his eyes, and pointed out the problem sharply.
"Don't worry about it. The gods above are also colleagues. It's just a matter of helping to say hello." Bai Wenji didn't expect Ye Lai to stand up this time. Da Pei was so surprised that he didn't even drink the yogurt.
Until he saw Ye Lai also take out a talisman with the word "study" written on it from his pocket.
"You have to take the college entrance exam anyway, so just bring it with you."
Chen Chi: Even if you have two duplicate accounts, you’re not willing to give me one, right?
Although this day was indeed turbulent, fortunately, Jiang Sulin and several other mentors including Ou Ruo came over quickly to help calm the trainees' emotions, saying that the program would continue to be filmed normally and asked them not to worry.
He also called Fu Xunyan out alone.
He originally thought that he was summoned by the program crew, but Jiang Sulin brought him to Kenny, who had already packed his luggage and was about to leave under the police's watch.
Kenny still refused to admit that he had deliberately caused Fu Xunyan to have an allergic reaction - if he admitted it, he might even be guilty of intentional homicide if he couldn't explain the dosage clearly.
Now the video can prove that he deliberately squeezed strawberry juice into Fu Xunyan's cup. According to him, he just wanted to disgust Fu Xunyan, and the mango juice on the table was too little to squeeze.
A very far-fetched explanation, but it seems to make sense.
Jiang Sulin's expression was more serious than ever. He called out to the police and said that he hoped Kenny would give an explanation to the victim.
The young policemen were also surfers, so they naturally knew that the other person in the turmoil was the handsome young man in front of them, so they nodded in agreement.
Jiang Sulin: "So now that things have come to this, you won't even apologize?"
Kenny was silent, his eyes dull, his face so dejected he didn't even want to look up. His usually handsome face had become uglier.
Jiang Sulin was so angry that he almost rushed up and punched Kenny.
Fu Xunyan didn't expect Jiang Sulin to be even angrier than he was. He quickly stopped him, then appeased him and went straight to Kenny. He didn't really have much to say to someone like that. Since he had done something wrong, he should leave the show and reflect on it.
"I didn't expect you to be so despicable."
"I think that since we are all trainees who want to debut, we should at least take the right path. You are not the type with poor skills. Even if you don't debut in 'New Century', there are other ways."
Kenny remained silent, his eyes trembling as he stared at the ground.
After a long while, he uttered in a hoarse voice: "You won't understand."
Fu Xunyan was so angry that he laughed this time.
He hated this kind of "I have my own difficulties and you guys won't understand" bullshit the most, as if he had the heaviest responsibility in the world.
Idiot!
After cursing in his heart, Fu Xunyan felt better, his face relaxed, and he even chuckled.
"Okay, I don't understand, and I don't want to understand you. You can just wait to be deported in the detention center."
