Chapter 85
The pedestrian street was bustling with people. Wang Hui was eating shaved ice on a bench. Next to him sat a cute and lively girl, who was his first love and current girlfriend, Lin Lin.
"Look at that boy, his pigtails look like a rat's tail."
"Look, look, the little girl those two foreigners are holding is so pretty, like a doll!"
Wang Hui was absent-minded and incoherent.
Lin Lin scraped the red bean paste clean, her tone restraining something, "Are you even listening to me?"
Wang Hui said, "I heard it."
Lin Lin snorted, "Then repeat what I just said."
Wang Hui remained calm and said, "You've said so much, how would I know which one you want me to say?"
Lin Lin said, "Just the last sentence."
Wang Hui said slowly, "Then repeat what I just said."
Lin Lin glared at him, "Wang Hui!"
"I told you." Wang Hui looked innocent. "Is there something wrong?"
Lin Lin put the shaved ice on the chair and said, "You've been acting strange since this morning. You said you'd take me out to play? I didn't go hiking with Yaoyao and the others. Now look at you, you look half-dead and don't want to talk to me. It makes me annoyed just looking at you!"
Wang Hui laughed and gritted his teeth, "Then don't look!"
Lin Lin grabbed her backpack and left.
Wang Hui continued to eat the shaved ice, and after a few bites, he threw it hard on the ground, "You are being unreasonable!"
People on several other benches nearby witnessed a young couple quarreling. The boy was handsome and the girl was cute, a perfect match. They seemed to be very skilled at quarreling.
Wang Hui returned to the hotel alone. He stared at the TV on the bed, and kicked the table because he was angry with someone.
There was a knock on the door, and Wang Hui stood up immediately. When he reached the door, he put away the anxiety on his face and put on an indifferent expression, "Come back..." The word "come back..." disappeared after he saw who it was.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?"
Lu Shenxing put his hands in his trouser pockets and asked, "Do I look like I knocked on the wrong door?"
“…Not like it.” Wang Hui stepped aside to let Lu Shenxing in.
Lu Shenxing went straight to the point, "What did you talk about with Wu Yuan this morning?" This made Wu Yuan suspicious, so he took him for a full body check-up and also prescribed a nutritional diet for him.
Wang Hui touched the back of his head and said, "It's...it's nothing."
Lu Shenxing said nothing, looking at the young man in front of him with a half-smile, watching his pretended calmness crumble bit by bit.
The man's gaze was venomous, and Wang Hui couldn't help scratching his head. "You're walking ahead of Wu Yuan now, but he'll soon pass you. You won't be able to catch up with him, and then the distance between you will get further and further."
"You're worrying about something far away." Lu Shenxing squinted his eyes, "Just take care of your own business right now."
Wang Hui was embarrassed. "Teacher, well... I just like to let my imagination run wild. I just said it casually."
Lu Shenxing's eyes swept over Wang Hui, "Did you have another fight with your girlfriend?"
When mentioning his lover, Wang Hui's attention was instantly diverted, including his reason and IQ. "She is unreasonable."
Lu Shenxing looked at him and asked, "Are you looking for a girlfriend for romance or for reason?"
Wang Hui and Lin Lin are the male and female protagonists, true childhood sweethearts. They quarreled from elementary school to high school, fell in love, and continued to quarrel after they got together, going to college, working, and finally getting married. They showed that beating is love and scolding is love to the fullest.
Wang Hui choked and his face turned red.
Lu Shenxing took out the note from his pocket with his right hand and handed it to Wang Hui. "This is my phone number. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Wang Hui twitched his lips and took the note, which contained a blatant warning.
The door closed gently and Lu Shenxing walked back. In the original plot, Wang Hui persuaded Wu Yuan and Liu Yihan to separate, but now the plot has changed and Liu Yihan has been replaced by him.
After staying in the city for two days, Lu Shenxing took the earliest bus back.
Wu Yuan's neck was sore from standing there looking. He hoped he could graduate soon so that he wouldn't have to look at that man's back anymore as he left.
Not long after, Wu Yuan bought a mobile phone with a SIM card from the school. The monthly subscription cost ten yuan and included 300 text messages and 400 minutes of domestic calls. His first call was to Lu Shenxing's dormitory landline.
"Teacher, it's me, Wu Yuan."
Lu Shenxing was cleaning the place over there, and he was breathing a little hard.
Wu Yuan noticed it, and his voice became a little tense. "What are you doing?"
"Cleaning. The room is covered in dust. I can't wait for you to come back to clean it." Lu Shenxing laughed, "What do you think I'm doing?"
Wu Yuan's face flushed. He stood by the window, enjoying the cool breeze, and said, "Save my number."
Lu Shenxing wrote and scanned the displayed number, "Saved." He freed his hand to pick up the broom, "It's okay, hang up, I still have a lot of room to clean."
A "Hmm" came from the other end of the phone.
Hearing that he was a little disappointed, Lu Shenxing said helplessly, "I miss you every day."
Wu Yuan said softly, "I understand."
With a cell phone, Wu Yuan would call Lu Shenxing in the corridor every night. He would talk until his phone got hot, and then he would hang up reluctantly.
At the end of that winter, Wu Yuan had made his first fortune of over ten thousand yuan by getting a job as a campus agent. He lived frugally, and with the first-place scholarship he received every year, the school's financial aid for poor students, and several jobs he worked, he had saved a considerable amount of money.
Starting from the second half of his junior year, Wu Yuan began to help the dean. He used his spare time to look at business opportunities that he was not interested in and learn how to manage finances. He wanted the man to be healthy and have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
