Chapter 75 Chapter 75 "Where are you going?"...
"Where are you going?" Father Lin looked at Lin Huai who was walking out of the house with a serious face and said in a deep voice, "Come here and explain everything before you leave!"
Lin Huai paused and sighed, "I'm just hanging out with my classmates."
"Classmate?" Father Lin was unconvinced. "Which classmate? Do I know him?"
Lin Huai was silent for two seconds: "Which of my classmates do you know? You haven't been to my school, right?"
Father Lin: “…”
"Well, even if that's the case, you have to explain it to me clearly!"
"He's from our club." Lin Huai saw his father's attitude and knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, he wouldn't let him go. So he just said directly, "We agreed to go out and play together today."
Hearing the word "society," Lin's father became even more alert and quickly asked, "What society... Never mind, I don't know even if you tell me."
Lin Huai: ...It's really amazing that you have this self-awareness.
"Just tell me how their grades are." Father Lin thought for a moment and spoke.
"First in the grade." Lin Huai said weakly, "And third in the grade."
Father Lin's serious expression immediately turned into a relieved smile: "Sounds like they are all good kids. Okay, okay, go ahead!"
"Do you want me to call the driver and ask him to come over?" he said with a smile.
"No need." Lin Huai said casually, "I can go there by myself."
"Who asked you that? I was asking if we should ask the driver to pick up those two good kids. If you like to walk, you can go. I don't care."
“…”
Lin Huai said expressionlessly: "Let's go."
He walked out quickly, took out his phone and sent a message in the group.
——Have you set off?
Zhou Zhu heard the phone ringing, saw the message and replied that she was just about to go out.
"Xiaozhu, do you want to ride your electric bike over there?" Zhou's mother asked quickly, watching Zhou Zhu packing tissues into her bag. "I charged the bike yesterday. If you want to ride it, just go downstairs."
"No, it's a bit far. I'll take the subway." Zhou Zhu waved his hand.
"That's fine." Mother Zhou wiped her hands with a smile. "It's rare to see you hanging out with your friends. I've never seen you go out to dinner with friends on the weekends before. I'm worried that you're not doing well in school, and you never tell us anything."
She put down the towel in her hand, turned around and pulled out several red bills from the small bag beside her: "Take some cash, and send me a message if it's not enough."
"I'll go help your dad later. If I don't see the message, call me."
Zhou Zhu refused: "I still have money. The cards are all in my hand. No need to give it to me."
"Keep some cash as a backup, in case your phone battery dies or the network is bad, it can help you in an emergency."
Mother Zhou put the money on the table and said hurriedly, "I have to go out. Your father is waiting for me. Remember to put the money away. If you have no place to put it, put it in the phone case."
Zhou Zhu didn't argue with her mother this time. Indeed, it was necessary to bring some cash.
Her family situation is average, but they just can't save much money, so they don't have to worry about their daily life.
According to her parents' plan, she should find a nearby high school after graduating from junior high school and wait for the college entrance examination in peace and stability.
But when Zhou Zhu saw the invitation from Holy Thorn College because of her high school entrance examination results, she had a different idea.
Holy Thorn's educational resources and various scholarships are very attractive.
As specially invited students, the college will relax the requirements on family background and give students the opportunity to apply to become poor and outstanding students - the former are no different from ordinary students, except that they are not required to pass the asset assessment review for admission to the school. The latter can have their tuition fees fully waived, and have a special fund for poor and outstanding students added to the ordinary scholarships, as well as various preferential treatments within the college.
Relatively speaking, the requirements for students applying for the poor and outstanding students will be more stringent in all aspects.
Zhou Zhu was attracted by the educational resources and scholarships of Holy Thorn. Her family was just an ordinary one and could not afford the high tuition fees, so when she received the invitation, she applied for the college's quota for outstanding students from poor families.
She knew in her heart that this might be treated coldly by some people, but even if she did not apply for the poor and outstanding student program, those who looked down on her would still look down on her.
It’s better to get something affordable.
The ending was exactly as she had expected. She regretted it more than once and wanted to transfer to a regular school.
But when she saw the bonus, she would always think about enduring for two more days, and endure until the monthly exams, midterm exams, final exams, and various competitions.
Zhou Zhu quietly became the person with the most assets in her family.
Zhou's father and mother are just ordinary farmers. They have worked hard for most of their lives to come to the city. When facing their daughter, who is probably the smartest person in their family, they have always respected her own opinions.
When Zhou Zhu wanted to give them the card that the school had issued specifically for scholarship payments, they refused.
She's just a kid, how much can a scholarship really mean? Just let her save a few thousand dollars for her future college education.
Zhou's mother fumbled to learn the so-called parenting manual on the Internet, and decisively decided to let Zhou Zhu keep the money to learn financial management.
Although they didn't know it, it was not a small amount of money.
It’s more than enough to buy a new car for the family.
At the entrance of the amusement park, Lin Huai and Zhou Zhu were the first to meet up.
The two of them found a milk tea shop and sat down to wait for Wen Qian and her friend, who were still nowhere to be seen.
Before going to bed yesterday, Wen Qian suddenly sent a message asking if they could bring a friend over to play.
The two had never heard Wen Qian mention having such a friend, and they were both a little curious.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Wen Qian's figure appeared outside the glass window of the dessert shop. The boy following her was tall and slender. As he walked towards the dessert shop, he intentionally or unintentionally protected Wen Qian who was standing next to him.
Lin Huai: "The way he looks at Wen Qian..."
Zhou Zhu: "Looks so familiar..."
"How long have you been waiting for me?" Wen Qian walked into the store and saw Lin Huai and Zhou Zhu sitting in the corner. He pulled Jiang Zhi behind him and walked quickly towards them.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Zhi." Jiang Zhi pulled out the chair next to him, waited for Wen Qian to sit down, and nodded at her two friends with a smile.
The two followed his words and introduced themselves.
"Would you like something to drink?" Jiang Zhi said, "I'll go take the order."
The store’s mobile phone ordering and queue ordering systems are two different systems. It takes a long time to wait for a number on the phone, so he plans to go directly to the front desk to queue up.
As soon as the person left, Lin Huai and Zhou Zhu's eyes fell on Wen Qian.
Before they could ask, Wen Qian suddenly sat forward.
"I've got a problem."
"What's wrong?" Zhou Zhu asked puzzledly.
"It's like this." Wen Qian glanced at Jiang Zhi who was waiting in line and said in a low voice, "He asked me out yesterday. Then, Chu Lingyu also sent me a message, asking me to come here and play together."
"So you rejected Chu Lingyu and accepted his invitation?" Lin Huai was a little surprised. It seemed that Chu Lingyu had no chance.
"No." Wen Qian's face was serious, "I accidentally agreed to both of them."
Zhou Zhu: "...Hmm?"
Lin Huai: "Can you be more careless?"
"So." Lin Huai looked around, "You agreed to Chu Lingyu, but then rejected him?"
"No." Wen Qian paused, "The situation is very complicated, I can't refuse."
"So what's the situation now? Should we still wait here for Chu Lingyu?" Zhou Zhu asked, "Where is he? Should we send someone to pick him up?"
Pick him up, how can this be possible?!
"We can't let them meet." Wen Qian denied it outright, "The relationship between these two is very bad."
Lin Huai: ...Is the relationship he thinks is bad?
"It seems like they had a grudge against each other before. We can't let them run into each other." Wen Qian took a deep breath and spoke quickly, "It's not a big deal. I've already agreed with them that they can only come out to play for half a day."
"I'm just telling you about this in advance."
Lin Huai adjusted his glasses: "Half and half, right?"
"Oh." Xiao Wen nodded, very confused, "Why can't the five of us play together?"
"So Chu Lingyu knew him before... Wait, let me sort it out." Zhou Zhu tried to clarify the relationship.
"Are there any friends who haven't come yet?" Jiang Zhi asked casually as he placed the dinner plate on the table.
Several people who were unaware of his approach: ...
"No, just a few of us, hahahaha."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your help. I'll ask you to order the food on our first meeting, Lin Huai, don't you agree?"
"Well, that's troublesome."
Jiang Zhi lowered his eyes, sat next to Wen Qian, and placed the matcha milkshake he ordered specifically for her in front of her.
Then he spoke casually, "When I heard you mention Chu Lingyu, I thought he was coming over too."
Zhou Zhu's expression froze; he was in trouble.
Zhou Zhu: "Well, we were discussing the midterm exam."
"Well, Chu Lingyu didn't participate this time. We are talking about this matter." Lin Huai continued.
"Oh?" Jiang Zhi chuckled, "As expected of him."
"Being able to go to school is already a big improvement for him." He said casually.
Zhou Zhu slowly gave Lin Huai a look.
Do you smell it? Such a strong smell of gunpowder.
Lin Huai had a blank expression on his face. What's the use of us smelling it? Looking at Wen Qian's silly smile, he probably doesn't know anything.
Xiao Wen lowered his head to unlock the matcha milkshake and took a big gulp: "Why are you two looking at me?"
She hesitated and said, "Would you like to try it?"
"...No, I don't mean to drink your milk tea. Drink it yourself."
"oh."
Jiang Zhi had made several plans before coming. Taking advantage of the break, he whispered a few questions to Wen Qian, then checked the schedule with Lin Huai and selected a more suitable route.
"Let's do the more exciting activities before lunch." Jiang Zhi said, "It's not good for your stomach to do these things after a full meal."
"Tell me if you're hungry." He looked at Wen Qian and said softly, "I brought some biscuits, you can eat first."
Lin Huai and Zhou Zhu were stunned by what they saw. It was such thoughtful consideration.
When they discussed the tour activities yesterday, they basically planned them with the goal of having fun to death, and didn't consider these things at all.
Just as they were sighing, Jiang Zhi took two small paper bags and placed them on the table, looking at them.
"I don't know what flavor of cookies you like, so I put a little of each."
The two of them were stunned. Is there still a share for them?
"They're both grateful for what they've done, but he gives me a completely different feeling than Loren..."
"agree."
After getting acquainted with each other for a while in the dessert shop, they stood up and walked towards the first attraction.
Wen Qian felt that his plan was amazing. It could complete the task while avoiding conflicts - how could there be any conflicts if they couldn't meet?
She said she could always find a way!
Not long after the group left the dessert shop, a boy in a gray sweatshirt pushed open the door and walked in.
"Is this the dessert shop recommended in the game tutorial?"
Chu Lingyu frowned and looked at the amusement park dating tutorial on the phone screen.
He noted down the name of the signature item and prepared to try the taste.
Although the time agreed with Wen Qian was in the afternoon, this did not prevent him from coming here in advance to check out the place.
It is safer to familiarize yourself with the process first.
"Hello, a matcha milkshake." Chu Lingyu looked at the clerk and said.
