Back to the Years When My Father Was in School - Chapter 26
That night, Lu Yan was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
Not sleepy for a long time.
There was the sound of dragging footsteps from the top of the stairs. You don’t need to listen carefully to know that her father Lu Zhen is back.
Lu Yan is always very sensitive to Dad’s voice, because she and Dad were the only people in the house before, and she could hear Dad’s footsteps going upstairs every night.
When he comes home from work, he will stand at the door of her room for a few minutes, listening to her if she is asleep, he will not disturb; if she is not asleep, he will always knock on the door and tell her not to stay up late.
Lu Yan opened the door, poked her head out and shouted, “Dad, where are you going to fool around with Uncle Liang Ting again!”
Lu Zhen covered Lu Yan’s mouth and said in a low voice, “Hush, don’t bark, I tell you, you must not let your grandpa hear this! Otherwise, he must be scared of high blood pressure.”
Lu Yan shrugged and didn’t care. Grandpa wouldn’t believe it anyway, just like Lu Zhen had never believed it before.
Lu Yan murmured, “What is the major issue of national economy and people’s livelihood? I come back so late every day.”
“For adults, don’t worry about children.”
“whispering sound.”
Now I’m going to talk to her adults and children.
Compared to the confusion of what to do a few days ago, Lu Zhen now looks a bit like a father. He is no longer as unscrupulous as before in speaking and doing things, and even changed his swearing.
At least, in front of Lu Yan, he would never say swearing anymore.
So being a dad and being a brother are still very different. Your brother can bully her, squeeze her, and grab her pocket money unscrupulously, but the father can’t do that.
Lu Yan patted his shoulder on tiptoe, and said, “Don’t forget, Dad is only one year older than me!”
“What about one year old, even if only one minute older than you, your father will always be your father.”
What this said…
Lu Yan was unable to refute.
Lu Zhen returned to the room and lay on the bed languidly. Lu Yan immediately followed and sat on the edge of the bed.
Lu Zhen didn’t bother to lift his eyelids, and asked lazily, “Why don’t you want to go to bed so late?”
“I have encountered something, and I want to hear my father’s opinion.”
Before Lu Yan encountered anything when she was growing up, she would ask Lu Zhen for help. Because she had no other elders in her growing years, Lu Zhen became her only benchmark and role model, and she had to ask him about everything she encountered.
It is still no exception.
Lu Zhen was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting, but as a new father, he still sat up patiently and rubbed Lu Yan’s head: “Tell me.”
“That’s… If there is a person, you know that he will bully you and even hurt your dearest person when he develops in the future, but now you watch him walking on a wrong path, but you feel uneasy in your conscience. After all, He treats you…just fine.”
With Lu Zhen’s troublesome IQ, he has not yet reached the level of being able to understand this cryptic metaphor.
He said righteously: “You can bully me, but you must never hurt my family. No matter how good he is to me now… it won’t work. This is the bottom line.”
Yes, family is Lu Zhen’s bottom line.
Lu Yan pondered for a moment, her eyes became much firmer——
“I see, Dad.”
After all, she is just to protect her family.
Lu Yan is no longer tangled, wealth is left to his life, everything is his own choice.
“Dad, I’m going to bed, good night.”
“Xiaoyan…”
He stopped her suddenly, hesitated for a while, and asked: “When I grow up, am I… a good father?”
After asking this sentence, the boy’s white cheeks were instantly flushed, and he wanted to make a hole in the bed!
Young Master Lu, who is **** around the world, would actually ask such a hypocritical question!
But… he really wants to know, what he will become in the future, and whether he is a qualified father in the eyes of the future daughter.
“Do you want to know about my childhood?”
Lu Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, arranging the skirts, ready to tell the story.
Lu Zhen was also completely sleepy, hugged her pillow and came over and listened to her intently.
“We have a pet cat pocket in our utility room.”
Lu Yan gestured in front of her stomach: “When you were a kid, you used to put me in it. Whether it was a business trip or a meeting, you would take me with you to feed me and change diapers anytime, anywhere. It’s really a very cool super dad. “
Lu Zhen twisted his brows: “Is my brain caught in the door, and I am a super daddy, don’t I know how to ask for a babysitter?”
Lu Yan laughed, and there was no one who vomited her own way.
“I have hired a nanny before, but I heard from Uncle Liang Ting that once the nanny accidentally fell your baby girl who was just one year old, and you were furious and fired her. Since then…about your baby girl is mine. Dad does everything by himself.”
Lu Zhen raised his eyebrows, with a look quite triumphant: “So it seems that I am also a very good dad.”
“Except for several things like turning your diapers upside down, or going to the supermarket to buy milk powder to buy cat milk powder, and throwing high-denominated cheques on the face of the boy I have a crush on in high school, uh… you’re still an excellent Dad.”
Lu Zhen: “…”
Who hasn’t done it for the first time!
That night, Lu Yan fell on Lu Zhen’s stomach to reminisce about the past, saying a lot of things. In fact, many precious memories would be forgotten by herself if she didn’t mention them.
But no matter how many times the world overlaps, time and space cycle, love is the only thing that will not change.
**
The results of the final test before the third year of high school came out, and Shen Kuo actually took the first place in the age, which made the students feel incredible.
In school, Shen Kuo often left early for self-study classes. Except for the time when he was in class, almost all his study time was squeezed by work.
That’s it… I can actually get to the first grade.
His brain is so good too!
As Lu Yan listened to the students discussing Shen Kuo’s results, she still felt uncomfortable thinking that he was about to drop out of school.
But she has made up her mind and will not intervene in this matter anymore. If it were not for life and death, she would no longer be betting on his decision and even his life.
The news about Shen Kuo’s dropping out of school was also tied to his first grade grade, and it spread all over the school.
Even Shen Kuo’s head teacher came to make a home visit and chatted with Shen Kuo’s father. After learning about his family’s plight, he wanted to start the whole school to donate money to him.
When Shen Kuo learned about this, his face was extremely ugly, and he walked straight to the Academic Affairs Office and bluntly said to the grade director: “I have no arms or legs. I don’t need any donations from anyone.”
Of course, the grade director did not want to let a good seedling like Shen Kuo leave the school, and persuaded him with all his heart: “Shen Kuo, if you have any difficulties, let’s find a solution together. Why bother to drop out?”
“Teacher, just say that you will not approve the withdrawal application.”
“This… if you insist on dropping out, the school won’t be able to stop it, but…”
“That’s it.”
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Shen Kuo turned and left the office.
In the corridor, he stood alone by the skylight, looking at the lush sycamore tree outside, his hands clenched into fists.
Because of too much force, his body shuddered slightly…
He doesn’t need anyone’s sympathy, he never does.
It’s not his fault that his family is poor, nor is it his father’s illness, but…
So far I am poor, but I like a girl raised in such a rich soil…
This is his fault.
Every night, his body is about to explode with his growing possessiveness.
He doesn’t know whether his decision is right or wrong, but it’s up to him… if he can’t prove himself, stay away.
Shen Kuo turned around, but saw Shu Mengfei in a white dress.
His face was dark, he ignored her and left.
Shu Mengfei stopped him: “Shen Kuo, I heard that you are going to drop out. Is it true?”
Shen Kuo didn’t answer, so he acquiesced.
The corners of Shu Mengfei’s eyes were a little red, and he grabbed his sleeves: “Uncle’s condition must be very serious and needs someone to take care of him, but he can’t drop out of school anyway. If… if you think I can, I’m willing to and You take care of uncle together…”
Shen Kuo wasn’t impressed by her words, looked down at her gripping his sleeves, and said coldly, “Let go.”
Shu Mengfei’s voice trembled: “Shen Kuo, we have all tasted the hardships of life. Those children from rich families don’t understand anything, but Shen Kuo, I understand you.”
Shen Kuo pulled her hand away, a sneer broke out at the corner of her mouth, and said every word: “I don’t need you to understand me.”
He said this sincere confession, but he refuted the face, Shu Mengfei felt ashamed, and shouted at his back——
“The whole school knows about you about to drop out, but Lu Yan still pretends not to know, aren’t you going to be okay with her! She pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn’t say anything, and didn’t even persuade you. For such a person, you count on her Can you understand you!”
Before Shu Mengfei spoke, Shen Kuo suddenly turned around and grabbed her collar.
His eyes were cold, like a blade.
Anyone slander him or slander him, he can say nothing or even smile, but when she mentioned Lu Yan, she poked the softest place in his heart.
Shu Mengfei was so frightened that she looked at him tremblingly: “You…what do you want, I’m telling the truth.”
After all, Shen Kuo didn’t feel much better, and slammed her away, then turned and left.
Shu Mengfei was pushed back by his strength a few steps, clutching his chest, as if frightened.
Shen Kuo is extremely hostile, but it happens…this way, a man has a fatal attraction to a girl.
Shu Mengfei knew that the school girls who were afraid of Shen Kuo, the girls who said they hated him, the girls who advised her to stay away from Shen Kuo.
They slandered Shen Kuo because they didn’t get it, so they didn’t want others to get it…

If the summer season is coming, Lu Yan received an invitation from Meng Zhining. This summer, the menswear brand “Aolang” under the Mengshi Group will hold a large fashion show. She hopes that Lu Yan can attend the show, and she wants to introduce her to the cooperation. partner.
Lu Yan readily agreed.
She could see that Meng Zhining faintly cultivated her.
Meng Zhining also asked Lu Yan which celebrity he likes, and our menswear brand endorsement will invite him, so that Yanyan and his favorite male celebrities can get to know each other.
At that time, eight out of ten high school girls liked to chase stars.
Lu Yan thought for a while, and gave Meng Zhening a suggestion with her unique aesthetic vision: “I think…Qin Yuxiao’s temperament is quite suitable for our brand, but he is very hot, I don’t know if he will come.”
After all, Qin Yuxiao has continued to become popular in recent years, and his popularity has not diminished. He has become the most promising new star in the entertainment industry.
I don’t want Meng Zhining to say simply: “Okay, since Yanyan likes it, then we will ask Qin Yuxiao as the endorsement of our menswear.”
“Uh…”
She didn’t like Qin Yuxiao, she just thought he was suitable.
But no matter how much Meng Zhening has, she wants to spoil her baby girl more and make up for the maternal love she has missed for many years.
…
At the Century City Hotel, Zhong Kai wore a human-looking black suit, standing at the door, rubbing his hands anxiously and waiting.
Seeing Shen Kuo slowly approaching, he hurriedly greeted him: “Isn’t it for you to take care of it? Why is it still like this.”
Shen Kuo said lightly: “This is my most formal dress.”
This clean white shirt on him is his most formal clothes.
“This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I made a lot of contacts to help you win it.”
“Um?”
“Meng’s’Aolang’ menswear brand is going to have a grand show recently, recruiting male models, no other requirements, handsome, tall, handsome, hanger-shaped body, I have several layers of relationship Pass your picture up, and people will see you here. Can you have a snack? If it’s done, a day’s salary will be worth half a year of hard work!”
Shen Kuo frowned slightly: “As a model?”
“Yes.”
He turned around and was about to leave, Zhong Kai grabbed him: “What are you doing! What are you running!”
“I don’t do that kind of thing.”
Shen Kuo didn’t like the camera by nature, and when he thought of scratching his head in front of the camera, he was guilty of nausea!
“Oh, you really… don’t worry. People have invited big-name male stars to come to T. Even if you want to show your face on the runway, you are still not qualified.”
Zhong Kai kindly persuades: “That means wearing other people’s clothes and serving as a background board for male stars, no one will pay attention to you.”
Shen Kuo still didn’t really want to be a model. He got goosebumps when he heard it.
Zhong Kai said: “This time we pinch our noses and make money, so we have the capital to do business. Shen Kuo, don’t you still think about that girl? No money, no house, poor and white, what do you take to marry her.”
Shen Kuo was silent. For a long time, he finally turned his head and asked Zhong Kai: “How much is it for a day?”
Zhong Kaibi gave a finger.
Shen Kuo was finally moved: “One hundred yuan is quite a lot.”
Seeing him moved, Zhong Kai added: “One hundred a day, you think too much.”
Shen Kuo knew there was no such good thing, and asked, “10 yuan a day?”
Zhong Kai grinned: “What kind of big company the Meng Group is, you have to choose it. It is the background board of the superstar Qin Yuxiao. One hundred, that’s an hour’s fee.”
“…”
Although Shen Kuo didn’t like this kind of publicity, he experienced the failure of the song and dance hall and the CD-ROM business, and almost completely defeated his previous savings.
It’s unlucky to think about it. These two failures were basically due to being unsatisfied with others.
Zhong Kai apologized to Shen Kuo for being super invincible, and tried to find a way to make money for him. No, as soon as he heard the news that Meng’s clothing hired a good-quality male model at a high salary, he reported it to Shen Kuo as soon as possible. Name, and stuffed a lot of red envelopes, so that Shen Kuo’s photos can be passed to the men in charge of the Meng Group.
The private rooms of the Century City Hotel are upscale and elegant. Behind the embossed screens on the bridge and flowing water, there are a dozen young and handsome men sitting at the round table, all of whom have come to compete for the show.
Zhong Kai diligently toasted Director Fang, and kept pulling Shen Kuo to let him toast together.
“President Fang, thank you so much this time!”
“Don’t worry about thanking me for now.” Director Fang waved his hand: “We, Mr. Meng, pick people with very poisonous eyes. This time,’Aolang’ is her flagship brand. It’s not certain whether you can pass her. .”
“Although it is said that, but who doesn’t know whether it can be selected in the end, it is not a matter of Mr. Fang. Come on, Mr. Fang, I respect you!”
Several young men around him cast contempt and disdain at Zhong Kai. The flattering people at the wine table like him were always looked down upon by these arrogant young people.
Zhong Kai doesn’t care about other people’s gazes. He was born early in society, he has seen the world’s scorching and human affections, and his youth’s temperament has already been worn out and smooth.
Why do others use you? Isn’t it because you work harder than others to fight for.
“President Fang, look at my brother, this body, this look, this waist, this hip… even if he is not inferior to a male celebrity.”
Director Fang glanced at Shen Kuo. Indeed, this young man has a really good body aptitude and looks handsome and handsome. Especially this strong body bone is indeed much better than the male models around who are also applying for the job.
Just looking at the temperament is quite heavy, quiet, not very talkative.
Zhong Kai explained: “My brother is still a student and he is quite shy, but man, everything is in the wine, come, respect Mr. Fang.”
He gently patted Shen Kuo on the back. Shen Kuo knew that Director Fang had come to choose people for this dinner. There were about ten people present, but only three or four people could be selected.
He has no resources and no connections, and the opportunity to make money will never come by himself.
No money, no house, poor and white, what do you take to marry her.
Shen Kuo looked at President Fang and said lightly: “I don’t like beer.”
President Fang’s face changed slightly, and in the next second, Shen Kuo immediately said: “To show respect, President Fang drinks beer, I drink white, and first respect President Fang three glasses.”
After he finished speaking, he filled himself with white wine, three hot drinks, and there was no drop left.
President Fang looked soothed and laughed: “Okay, young people are good drinkers.”
Zhong Kai breathed a sigh of relief. He was also worried that Shen Kuo’s temperament annoyed Fang Zong was unhappy, but he didn’t expect this kid to be quite prosperous.
Next, Shen Kuo exchanged a glass of liquor for a glass of beer, which made him feel comfortable and happy, and he praised Shen Kuo to Zhong Kai, saying that you, a good brother, will become a great weapon in the future.
When Zhong Kai looked at Shen Kuo like this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He is very depressed these days, Zhong Kai is watching.
He was deliberately getting himself drunk.
…
At the beginning of Hua Deng, Lu Yan rode a bicycle, dangling along the street in the cool summer breeze.
After Meng Zhining knew that Lu Jian had bought her a guitar, she must buy a piano for Lu Yan in order not to let Lu Jian go down.
The piano was shipped back from abroad and placed in Meng Zhining’s villa. Lu Yan couldn’t wait to rush over to try her hand, and liked it very much.
Meng Zhening said to send her to Luzhai in two days.
On the way home, after the Century City Hotel, Lu Yan caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
After watching it for a long time, she was sure that she was really Shen Kuo.
Shen Kuo was lying on the uneven wall at the entrance of the alley, covering his head with his hands, and seemed uncomfortable.
Lu Yan hurriedly parked her bicycle by the side of the road, walked over and whispered, “Shen Kuo, why are you here?”
Shen Kuo heard the familiar voice, turned around and stumbled towards the depths of the alley, leaning over and vomiting.
He barely ate, so all he vomited was wine.
Lu Yan saw the Century City Hotel next to him, expecting that Shen Kuo must have a meal to drink so much wine.
Lu Yan hurried over and patted him on the back to give him comfort.
“Why do you drink so much!”
Shen Kuo was already incapable of drinking alcohol, but his stomach was burning with fire, as if he was vomiting out his stomach.
He was holding his abdominal cramps, but one hand was still blocking Lu Yan. He didn’t want her to get close to him, or let her smell the foulness on his body.
Seeing his uncomfortable appearance, Lu Yan quickly took out the thermos from his bag and handed it to his mouth: “Drink some water and warm it up.”
Shen Kuo kept his head away, stubbornly refusing to touch the mouth of her drinking glass.
“The wolfberry that I make is nourishing the stomach.” Lu Yan held the back of his head and gave him two bites.
With sweetness, the wolfberry water ran across his hot throat and entered his abdomen, alleviating the cramping feeling a lot.
Shen Kuo’s mind was still in a state of drunkenness and confusion, but he also knew that the girl he was thinking of was standing in front of him.
Tears flowed out of his eyes, either crying or being stimulated by the pungent wine poured into his nasal cavity. He knew that he was running like a spit now, and he must be disgusting.
This most unbearable side, but let the most beloved girl run into it.
Shen Kuo pushed her abruptly and stumbled to leave.
“It’s dangerous!” Lu Yan saw him running straight towards the main road, and quickly grabbed him, panic-stricken, cold sweat oozing out.
“Shen Kuo, I will take you home.”
“Don’t worry about me.” Shen Kuo said in a deep voice with a thick nasal voice, “You go away.”
She couldn’t leave him alone, otherwise he would be killed in such a crazy way.
However, Lu Yan’s petite body couldn’t hold the dizzy man at all, so she could only hold on to the corner of his clothes to prevent him from rushing to the road.
Shen Kuo instinctively wanted to take her hand down from him, chanting vaguely: “Dirty… let go…”
“no kidding!”
Shen Kuo suddenly squeezed her hands firmly and pressed her against the wall.
The two of them looked at each other closely, his body was like a soldering iron, hard and hot.
The strong smell of alcohol filled Lu Yan’s nose. She gasped and looked at him tremblingly: “Did so much because of a bad mood?”
He made a deep nasal sound: “Yeah.”
I have not been in a good mood these days.
“Because of dropping out?”
“No, it’s because…”
You didn’t persuade me not to drop out.
Not knowing if it was due to alcohol catalysis, Shen Kuo suddenly felt aggrieved.
Even Shu Mengfei came to persuade him, the head teacher and the dean of academic affairs also persuaded him, but why…why didn’t the person he puts on the cusp of it? She didn’t even mention it.
As if indifferent.
Shen Kuo knew that he was well-informed. He shouldn’t have expected her to have any thoughts about him, nor can he expect her to do more…
But people who are stuck in the quagmire are always greedy and lack of greed. After getting a little warmth, they want more and more…
Lu Yan took out a small square handkerchief from her pocket, wiped his crimson eyes lightly, and soothed softly: “Shen Kuo, don’t cry.”
“I didn’t cry.”
His nose was filled with the scent of jasmine from the girl’s handkerchief.
“Then I will drive you home, okay.”
…
All the grievances and unwillingnesses disappeared the moment she held his sleeve.
In fact, he is really coaxing, as long as she simply expresses her words, he won’t be sad.
