Chapter 10: Do you have a mine at home?
Qin Yu looked at Jiang Fengyan in astonishment. A memory that had been buried in his mind for a long time suddenly came to his mind at this moment, pressing him down as if he were filled with lead, and it became much more difficult for him to breathe.
The night is very quiet. The hustle and bustle of the city during the day is blown away by the wind, and my thoughts are also drawn out when the wind blows over my shoulders.
Qin Yu tilted his head and looked at the starry sky. His Adam's apple rolled with difficulty: "It doesn't matter anymore."
Qin Yu actually regretted it many times.
When I was sitting in the examination room, the test paper was clearly filled with the answers I had calculated, but the answer sheet was blank. In the end, I watched helplessly as the answer sheet with only the answers to the multiple-choice questions was collected by the invigilator and put into a sealed file bag.
It's hard to describe what that feels like.
All I know is that I have dreamed of returning to the examination room many times since then. Some tried every possible means to write the answers on the answer sheet, some tore up the answer sheet at the last minute and failed to get into the school, and some knelt on the floor and begged Gu Chengye to let him go to school...
And every time I wake up from a dream, most of my feelings are filled with lingering fear.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn. Shen Chenan and Li Bohan looked at Qin Yu almost at the same time when Jiang Fengyan finished speaking, and they also noticed the obvious unnaturalness that flashed across Qin Yu's face.
"Why are you looking at me? Are you going to drink or not?" Qin Yu lowered his head to avoid the gazes of Shen Chenan and Li Bohan, and continued to drink.
"Since we can't change the past, let's cherish the present and change the future." Li Bohan noticed that the atmosphere was not right and tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"Besides, Gu Chengye has so much money, which is enough for you to spend for the rest of your life. It's no big deal even if you don't study." Zhou Wenyuan picked up the wine and took a sip.
"Bang——" Chen Chenan slammed the chopsticks on the table. "Zhou Wenyuan, I have tolerated you for a long time. Can you not mention money in any sentence?"
Zhou Wenyuan looked at Shen Chenan indifferently: "Yes."
"You're crazy about money, right?" Chen Chenan pulled Zhou Wenyuan's collar to him and said coldly, "Then go earn it yourself."
"Why should I fight for it myself? Also, what does what I say have to do with you?" Although Zhou Wenyuan couldn't break free from Shen Chenan's hand, he still refused to give in. "I have known Qin Yu longer than you. Do I need your consent to say anything to him?"
"What do you want to tell me?" Qin Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Wenyuan indifferently.
Zhou Wenyuan's original arrogance weakened when he heard this, and his voice became a little unnatural: "I want to borrow money from you."
Zhou Wenyuan's words made Shen Chenan couldn't help but snort coldly, but before he started to say anything, Qin Yu glanced over.
"How much do you want to borrow?" Qin Yu's expression was still indifferent.
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, Zhou Wenyuan's face was very red. He stared at Qin Yu's expressionless face and narrowed his eyes: "Fifty thousand."
"Heh." Shen Chenan was too lazy to say anything more this time, and his hands were playing with the wine bottle nonchalantly.
"Fifty thousand?" Qin Yu repeated the number, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "You think too highly of me, don't you?"
Zhou Wenyuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked particularly gloomy: "Just tell me whether you want to lend it to me or not?"
Qin Yu stared at Zhou Wenyuan and was stunned for a moment, as if he was trying to recall something through Zhou Wenyuan's appearance.
After a few seconds, he replied: "Borrow."
As he spoke, Qin Yu reached into his pocket.
However, just as he took out his phone, Jiang Fengyan, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said, "I'll lend it to you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at him in surprise.
Jiang Fengyan didn't pay attention to these looks. He looked at Zhou Wenyuan and continued, "Do you want WeChat or Alipay?"
Fifty thousand is not a small sum of money. Even for an average family, it will take a while to earn this money.
But Jiang Fengyan is just a college student, how could he have this money? Can it be loaned out so easily?
"Do you have a mine at home?" Shen Chenan held back for a moment, but couldn't help asking.
Jiang Fengyan: "I don't have a mine. I save some money from the living expenses my family gives me and... from my part-time job."
"The living expenses must be quite a lot, otherwise how could you save so much?" Li Bohan asked.
"Not bad." Jiang Fengyan responded casually, "Will you lend it to me?"
Zhou Wenyuan's expression was complicated for a moment, and he said slowly: "I won't borrow it from you."
"You're still picking people for a loan?" Chen Chenan sneered, "Is it okay for you to pick someone with a good temper?"
"It's not your turn to take care of it." Zhou Wenyuan's expression was not much better than Shen Chenan's.
"Yes, it's not my turn to manage." Chen Chenan said sarcastically, "Then let's see how Young Master Qin uses his kindness to sacrifice himself to help others."
Qin Yu: “…”
Qin Yu actually doesn't have a good temper. Even at Ning'an University, few people dare to mess with him.
But except Jiang Fengyan, the people on the rooftop were all friends he had known since junior high school, and he didn't want to turn against them.
"I'll transfer it to you directly." Qin Yu didn't say any more nonsense. He opened his phone, clicked on the contact and transferred 50,000 yuan directly to Zhou Wenyuan.
When Chen Chenan saw this, his brows furrowed, but since it was Qin Yu's decision after all, he couldn't say anything more. He just drank his wine and said in a muffled voice: "You are not seeing Zhou Wenyuan, are you?"
Jiang Fengyan's pupils were deep: "I'm not in a hurry to use the money."
"You two aren't that familiar with each other yet. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble after borrowing such a large sum of money?" Qin Yu casually put his phone on the table. "It's almost time. I'll call a taxi to take you back to school later."
Chen Chenan was not interested: "No, I'm too lazy to go."
Jiang Fengyan: "I've asked for leave."
Chen Chenan raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Fengyan: "Are you still asking for leave? I thought you were skipping classes too."
"I originally planned to skip class, but I met my homeroom teacher on the way and asked for leave." Jiang Fengyan answered truthfully.
"Qin Yu and I often asked for leave when we were in our second year of high school. Later, when we were in our third year, we were not allowed to ask for leave no matter what." Chen Chenan said, and the gloom he had originally felt faded a little, "So, we just skipped classes."
"You only have over 200 days left and you're still skipping classes?" Li Bohan interrupted, "Why don't you work harder and get a bachelor's degree? It will be easier to find a job after graduation."
"You're right." Chen Chenan smiled, "Then why didn't you work harder to get into high school when you were in junior high school?"
Li Bohan choked.
"So, it's not as optimistic as you think." Chen Chenan raised his head, revealing his neck under the collar of his school uniform. "Who wouldn't have thought about giving it a serious try?"
"We are different..." Li Bohan was silent for a while before adding in a low voice, "I didn't study since elementary school. When I met you and Brother Qin, I was already in the third grade of junior high school... I always feel that you and Brother Qin shouldn't fend for yourselves."
