Dear Mr. Sheep - Chapter 7
“Don’t even think about it, I’m not going to help you get an autograph.”
Lu cotton slightly sideways, raised an index finger and waved it in front of her eyes, matching the serious expression on her face, meaning to tell her that this matter is not negotiable.
She didn’t want to see Jiang Shiyan again, not at all!
Lu Zhaoge had long guessed her reaction, after all, her sister never followed stars, let her go to a big star to ask for an autograph, she certainly would not agree. Even if she was her sister, she couldn’t make her change her mind.
If not for the fact that the security at the annex was too strict and she was not allowed to enter without a student ID, she would have gone there herself.
Although she was rejected, she wouldn’t give up on that.
Lu Sakura’s eyes rolled and unleashed a clinging feat, hugging Lu cotton’s shoulder and gently shaking it, “Sister, my good sister, am I not your closest and dearest sister~”
“It’s useless to be petulant, I won’t help you.”
“Sister, you do not do so, I am your only sister! Although we are not the same mother, like the same mother, in the future when I am old I will drag you to square dance.”
“I’m not interested in square dancing, don’t call me that.”
Lu Sakura decided to change his mind, in exchange for something: “Let’s do this, you help me find Jiang Shiyan to ask for an autograph, I send you a ticket to the play, which one you want to see I help you buy.”
Lu cotton is not the kind of student who buries her head in hard study and forgets to eat and sleep, on the contrary, she pays much attention to combining work and rest and arranging time wisely. In addition to studying during the holidays, she will take time to see plays and musicals, and usually read books and watch movies at home, but the movies she watches are all foreign ones.
Lu cotton finally looked at her squarely, half a long time, shook his head: “Forget it, your pocket money, how long to save to buy a ticket. Don’t forget that you took your allowance from me last week.”
Lu Sakura’s mouth flattened as she cried, because she had hit on another sad thing for her – no money.
Her painter parents were always away from home, and Lu cotton’s parents were usually very busy at work, so the sisters’ pocket money was kept by their grandfather and distributed once a week. Although the family is very rich, grandpa does not want them to develop the bad habit of pride and luxury, so the allowance is not much more than the average children of the same age.
The weekly allowance of Lu Sakura will keep a part of it just enough to spend on herself, and the rest will be used to buy magazines, peripherals and albums. In order to help brother rush sales, magazines and albums are bought in piles.
The difference is that she is a school bully, she has a scholarship to take in school, and take the highest amount, and occasionally go out to participate in competitions also have prize money. In addition to the New Year’s red envelope from relatives she saved up, is a little rich woman.
Sometimes she spends all her money and has to look for a relief from Lu cotton.
Seeing that she finally stopped talking, Lu cotton patted her shoulder and smiled faintly: “In the future, this kind of blank cheques or less, you owe a buttload of debt.”
Yes, the money borrowed by Lu cherry has never been paid back ……
The two walked to the dining room, only to see the white rectangular dining table full of delicious food, more than last year’s New Year’s Eve dinner sumptuous. The family sat around, the atmosphere was very lively, Lu Wang even let the eldest son opened a bottle of red wine.
The adults drank and chatted, while the two children, who were about to face a life transition, silently drank corn and rib soup. During this time, Lu Sakura was begging Lu cotton in a low voice, but she ignored it.
Lu cotton’s attitude is clear: to sign, no way.
The hot pot in the middle was steaming, Lu Yongzhang picked up a piece of meat and casually put it into his wife’s bowl, looked at the people across the table and said, “You guys don’t plan to leave this time when you come back, right?”
Lu Yongrui: “Definitely not leaving in a short time, at least until Sakura finishes her exams.”
Xu Xiangzhi took a sip of soup and added with a smile, “Not only that, there’s also cotton’s college entrance exam, I still want to see her get the top spot with my own eyes. Moreover, soon after the entrance exams, Cotton’s eighteenth birthday will be here, how can I be absent as an aunt when holding a bar mitzvah.”
After a pause, she asked, “Has Cotton decided which university she wants to enter?”
“With her grades, she can go to whichever university she wants.” Lu Zhaoge muttered in a low voice, “When the college entrance examination scores come out, major universities will definitely rush to want people.”
Xu Xiangzhi stretched out his index finger and nodded her forehead, his face was written with hatred, but his voice contained a smile, not half blame: “You are not bad, just playful, if you are willing to put all your thoughts on study, I am not like now so worried.”
Lu Sakura spat out her tongue, saying that Lu cotton also did not have all the thoughts on study.
“I haven’t thought about it yet.” Lu cotton said, “Dad wants me to study abroad.”
When the third year of high school just started, Lu Yongzhang mentioned this matter, want to send her to study abroad. The company has an uncle settled in England, if you go there, there is no fear of no one to take care of.
In fact, Lu has not much planning for the future, if her father wants her to study abroad, she will consider it.
Thinking about this, the scene of the last class meeting suddenly came to mind, where the class teacher asked the students to write down their ideal universities on slips of paper and stick them on their desks as a way to motivate themselves.
Everyone acted, tearing off a piece of paper to write down the goal of the college entrance exam, and from time to time came a small exchange of voices.
Lu cotton heard them say Tsinghua, Peking University, Fudan, Zhejiang University, Jiaotong University ……
She held the pen for a long time, but did not know which university to write, the table Song Song is a firm goal, did not want to put pen down “Beijing Foreign Studies University”.
Seeing that Lu cotton is slow to write, she came over and took a look at the blank paper: “You’re still hesitating? Is it because you want Tsinghua and Peking University to battle?”
Probably provoked by her words, Lu cotton lowered his head and wrote down Tsinghua University.
Regarding the future planning of the child, Lu Yongzhang discussed with his wife Rong Yi many times, and at first they decided to send Lu cotton to study abroad. Then they thought about it, that is her life, they should not ask her according to their own ideas. As parents, they could give advice, but they could not forcefully interfere.
Soon she will be eighteen years old, an adult, what kind of road to take she can choose for herself.
When this issue was mentioned, Lu Yongzhang made his attitude clear to Lu cotton: “Dad just said it casually before, the key is still up to you. You can go to any university you want, mom and dad respect your choice.”
Lu cotton looked at him, and suddenly felt that something was taken away from her shoulders, and her body was much lighter.
Only at this moment did she realize that she had unknowingly taken her father’s words as an expectation.
Breathing lightly, she said, “I know, I’ll think about it.”
The meal took an extraordinarily long time.
We all sat in the living room eating fruit and watching TV, continuing the conversation we had just had at the dinner table.
Lu cotton is about to go upstairs to do some questions, suddenly called by the nanny aunt: “cotton, you …… your pants and shoes is how to get ah?”
She was slightly stunned, only to see her aunt standing at the bathroom door, carrying her dirty pants in her left hand and a pair of black sneakers in her right.
Aunt Zheng was just washing clothes in the bathroom and found two bags in the corner, opened them and looked, wasn’t this Lu cotton’s school uniform? Because the pants and shoes were covered with mud and dirt, she couldn’t help but worry a little if something had happened to her.
Everyone’s eyes flashed toward Lu cotton, and Rong E said in confusion, “Cotton?”
This child has been staying in school, she could not figure out how to get mud on clothes and shoes.
Lu cotton does not want to mention this matter, did not expect still can not escape. Biting her lip, she whispered: “I accidentally fell into the school’s artificial lake.”
Rong Yi: “Are you okay?”
“Yes, a classmate happened to pass by and saved me.” She deliberately said Jiang Shiyan as a classmate, lest Lu Sakura hear and scream with excitement.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted that she should have been more direct and said that she climbed up.
Sure enough, Rong Yi said, “Don’t forget to thank people, it just so happens that your father’s friend sent a few boxes of imported fruit, remember to pack a little to bring over to your classmates when you return to school on Sunday afternoon.”
Lu cotton was shocked: “No, no need.” Sending fruit to Jiang Shiyan? You’re kidding!
“How can I do that?” Rong Yi educated, “Other people’s help is someone else’s business, you should show your gratitude for the help you received. It’s a deal.”
