Chapter 51: Lu Wei, let’s work together
On the rooftop, Lu Wei's super long ponytail fell to the ground. Zhai Da didn't want to get it dirty, so he simply picked it up and held it in his hand.
The hair feels dry and soft in the palm of your hand.
"I brought you to the rooftop so I could get everything straight at once. There are only three days left to register for the compulsory/elective subject level tests. There's no time for you to hesitate or dither."
"Your scores in physics, chemistry, and biology are all above average. In my opinion, if you follow the new rules of 2008, it won't be difficult to get all A's. Not to mention math, with a full score of 160 plus 40 additional points, I think you can get at least 190."
As if to increase his persuasiveness, Zhai Da lifted up Lu Wei's ponytail and shook it.
"We'll study English and Chinese together. I can at least make sure you don't lag behind in these two subjects. Do you know what that means? Getting three A's and a total score of over 400 is a sure thing. You can take off straight away."
Lu Wei still didn't speak, but she buried her head even lower.
She didn't ask Zhai Da "why did you help me", it didn't matter to her.
As long as Zhai Da is willing, she is willing.
She just couldn't get over herself.
“I’m not a student anymore.”
Zhai Da said indifferently:
"It doesn't matter. I told you it has nothing to do with being a student. My grandfather wasn't able to get into university until he was in his thirties after leaving the factory... Although he didn't go, everyone is eligible to take the college entrance exam. Being a student is just the most convenient identity."
"You don't have to worry about what will happen next. Under the current rules, freshmen, repeaters, and candidates from outside the school all enjoy exactly the same rights in admissions, and they must all be treated equally. This policy will change in a few years."
"You don't even have to worry about tuition. As long as you get into a prestigious university, given your special circumstances, you can apply for a national student loan, plus a scholarship, which should be enough. I can lend you some, and you can pay me back with interest."
After talking for a long time and feeling a little tired of holding up his arms, Zhai Da simply lay back. After all, it was normal for the torn school uniform to be dirty.
The air quality in Dongyang is not that good, but after all, there is not much light pollution at night and you can see many stars.
He just waited for Lu Wei's reply.
Although Zhai Da knew that if he said "This is a mission" or "I hope you do this" at this time, Lu Wei might nod immediately.
But it was just like when Yu Xiaoli first persuaded her to live in that storage room.
Some things only make sense if Lu Wei decides on her own.
For some roads, you have to take your own steps before you can start.
He can be an empathetic and compassionate person, but he cannot be a bad father.
A nice guy + a daddy hero.
After a long time, Lu Wei did not give an answer, but lay back down next to Zhai Da.
The two of them were not very close to each other, let alone hugging each other.
Just keep a distance of half a meter and look at the stars.
"Zhai Da, what do you think is the meaning of life?"
Zhai Da rolled his eyes. "You're talking to me about this on the rooftop? What's wrong? Are you in a hurry to get downstairs?"
Lu Wei shook her head: "No,
I just don’t understand.”
"Then your question needs to be more specific."
"What's the point of me taking the college entrance exam?"
"Nonsense, I can go to college!"
"What happens after you go to college?"
"I can get rid of my beastly father."
Zhai Da didn't say anything polite and directly defined the nature of Lu Benqing in the detention center.
"And then?"
"Hold on, you don't want me to describe your life? I'm not up to the task."
Zhai Da spoke each word earnestly and sincerely:
"If you can't figure it out, it's because you're young. If you can't see it, it's because you're inexperienced. Questions like 'What's the meaning of life?'... that kind of bullshit."
"Student Lu, when you're well, grown up, have some weight on your body, and can smile... you'll understand yourself. You're only so old. In Mr. Ziren's eyes, you're nothing more than the sun at eight or nine o'clock!"
Lu Wei stopped looking at the stars and instead propped up half of her body and looked at Zhai Da.
The long hair was blown by the evening breeze and brushed across the boy's chest.
The delicate and clean little face was less than ten centimeters away from Zhai Da.
There is nothing else in sight, you are everywhere.
Lu Wei also said word by word: "I am too stupid, but you are smart."
"I believe you...I will take the college entrance examination."
Her eyes were so determined, a look that was extremely rare to see in Lu Wei.
Zhai Da smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, when I was stupid, it was the right choice to cling to the smart brother's thigh."
He immediately began to make arrangements: "There are still two days until the registration deadline. There is no time to lose. We need to get up early at five o'clock tomorrow and find a computer."
"My study schedule needs to be adjusted. I'll have to wait for my mom to go to school and talk about evening self-study. This way, we can have more than seven hours a day. It's not too much to learn, right?"
"You teach me science, and I teach you liberal arts. Let's work together, stepping on each other's feet and spiraling upwards!
Lu Wei nodded heavily.
She could be wrong a hundred times.
But she was right for once.
If you have any questions, just trust Zhai Da, whether you live in a small storage room or take the college entrance examination.
After finishing their conversation, both of them felt a little relieved. Being so close, the atmosphere gradually became a little more charming...
Lu Wei's breath was blown away by the evening breeze, but her eyes penetrated the darkness.
Zhai Da scratched his cheek and said, "How about... let's go back? Otherwise my mother will be worried."
Don't think they are here to make grandchildren.
As he was speaking, a mosquito, which was common in this season, landed on Zhai Da's chest.
Lu Wei saw it, and Zhai Da saw it too.
Zhai Da looked at Lu Wei supporting her frail body with her hands tied, and immediately recalled unpleasant memories.
Unfortunately, it was still a step too late.
"Don't~"
"Boom."
The head cone was already pressing against his chest.
"Hiss~ You are a turtle!
He speaks slowly, but he's very stubborn!"
"I'm...afraid it might sting you..."
"I'm in school uniform! What the hell!"
The girl was reluctant to look up, so she just rested her head lightly on his chest.
The boy was reluctant to get up and kept cursing.

Ten hours ago.
In the school cafeteria, the short girl with iron bangs said:
"Lu Wei was very famous at the time. Of course, each grade basically only knew people from the same class. Only people like us...who were well-informed and well-informed, were known throughout the entire school."
Zhai Da stirred the spoon in his hand: "That's right, I just know about you guys... I mean, you are very capable, so keep going."
"She's beautiful, has good grades, and even won prizes in competitions. Although her family background is much poorer, she's as famous as Xiaolu from our class. But after something happened at home, her personality reportedly changed drastically..."
"Something happened at home? What happened?"
"It seems her mother died in an accident. Her father was a gambler. They received a lot of compensation after her mother's death. But before her body was cremated, her house was surrounded by a group of debt collectors. They included relatives, colleagues, and loan sharks. In the end, the funeral hall was even smashed..."
Zhai Da frowned slightly... Is that why she resisted money...
"How did you know about this? Were you there?"
The girl said proudly:
"I have a close friend from another school who lives in Sunmazhuang. It was a big commotion at the time, and there were even several police cars parked downstairs."
Zhai Da thought to himself, this is amazing. At such a young age, his network of connections extends beyond the school...
"Then do you know why she didn't repeat a grade? With such good grades, the school should be able to persuade her, right?"
Another chubby guy with iron bangs immediately said, "I know that! I heard she hasn't recovered from her mother's death for several months. The school wanted her to repeat the year, but for some reason her father came to the school to cause trouble. He's a scary person, and the school can't do anything about it."
"Later, a teacher knew someone in the police brigade and treated him well, and he finally stopped."
Well...it turned out to be the beastly father's fault.
"I'm not sure what happened after that. I heard that Lu Wei could have gotten into a 985 university, and she had a chance to be recommended for admission by winning some competition. Unfortunately, she didn't participate in the competition, and there seems to be no news about her college entrance examination... It's so sad..."
The girl whispered, "Why are you asking about her? Do you know her? How is she now?"
Zhai Da bluffed it off: "It doesn't matter. I'll treat you guys to sausages every day for a week. And don't tell anyone about what I asked you today. How about that?"
These were all old gossips for adults, and not something they were that addicted to. After a brief hesitation, the girls nodded in agreement.
In fact, it feels good to be able to chat about gossip with people outside the "gossip circle".
Zhai Da added, "By the way, about me being on Xinglang News... although it wasn't all spread by you guys, you guys are being too aggressive. Can you please stop spreading it?"
The girls looked at each other.
"That's another price."
