CH 108

Li Che hit it with one stroke and the ball rolled a short distance after landing on the ground.

“Almost.” Li Che smiled and added, “Don’t worry, I won’t involve you again. This is the last time.”

Lu Wan had a lot of question in her mind, but in the end, she only said, “I see.”

Who doesn’t have secrets? Including her.

It was a particular moment in Lu Wan’s life when she got to know this person.

She was in sixth grade that year.

In the evenings of summer vacation, her adoptive mother would go outside to set up a stall selling things such as cold noodles, ice jelly, and ice liqueur.

As per usual, Lu Wan would go to the surrounding streets to dig through the trash cans.

She would collect plastic bottles and cardboard boxes that others don’t want, and sell them to the junkyard the next day.

After one night, if there’s less, she could get two or three yuan, and if there’s more, it would be five or six yuan.

The state implements a nine-year compulsory education system. There were no tuition fees for primary and middle schools, but they need to pay for the class activities.

In the years after graduating from primary school, she still had to buy school supplies and workbooks.

Lu Wan had to make her own money so that she doesn’t have to be disparaged by her adoptive father every time he opens his mouth.

Although her adoptive mother earned two to three hundred yuan a night selling snacks, it was just enough to pay for that man’s whoring and drinking. How could there be any share for her?

That day was no different from usual. At eight o’clock in the evening, Lu Wan rummaged through the trash cans with a stick.

She was quite disappointed because the harvest wasn’t very good.

Obviously, it was scoured not long ago.

It might be the old lady picking up waste or the sanitation worker in charge of cleaning the street.

Don’t look at it as just junks. In fact, the competition was quite fierce.

Li Che asked with a smile, “What are you thinking about?”

Lu Wan: “Nothing.”

Li Che: “There’s one more thing I have to ask you. Since a schoolmate met me at work, it will be a hassle if they insist on digging further. You have to help me settle this matter.”

“How can I help you?”

“The bar where I work is on the block owned by the Lu family. There must be something you can do.” Li Che said.

Walking out of school, Lu Wan took out her mobile phone and looked through her contact list.

At first she wanted to call Lu Jinye, but after thinking about it, she shouldn’t bother her uncle about this matter.

He was usually very busy with work.

She then slid down and stopped at the name Lu Lin.

This cousin of hers should have a lot of time, because he looks very…… laidback, with nothing to do all day long.

Lu Wan called and it was answered quickly.

“My darling Wanwan, do you miss Brother? Where are you? Brother will find you right away, okay?” The man’s exaggerated voice came from the receiver.

“……”

This guy feels even more abnormal than Lu Buyu.

All the men in the Lu family seem to be very coquettish, except for her father.

After a mental preparation, Lu Wan briefly explained the matter.

“That’s why I’m asking you.”

“It’s just a small problem, but how can your classmate be like this? Working at a club in such a young age? You won’t follow suit, right?”

Lu Wan: “……”

Lu Lin: “It’s great if you learn to be bad. Bad girls are more attractive, but you have to remember that a lot of men aren’t good things. You’re so beautiful and so capable, what’s wrong with it? De-slag them, go for it.”

Lu Wan held her forehead and reminded, “I’m…… still a high school student.”

Lu Lin: “I know. If you don’t like older people, then find scumbag high school boys.”

Lu Wan: “I still have things to do. Brother, I’m hanging up.”

What kind of bewildering and confusing words were these?

Scumbag high school boy? De-slag…… Chen Nianqing?

Well, even if Chen Nianqing wasn’t good, she still wouldn’t do that.

It’s so weird just thinking about it. Those words were simply poisonous.

Fifteen minutes before going to bed, Lu Wan remembered their agreement and called Chen Nianqing.

She found his number in her phone book and pressed call.

As it happened, she had something to talk to about with the other party!

It was picked up almost in seconds.

Chen Nianqing had been waiting for the call since half past eight. He wanted to call several times, but gave up after thinking about it.

It was the first time Lu Wan initiated a call.

The two of them had nothing to worry about when it comes to topics. Lu Wan looked at the math problems with multiple integrals with the other party.

The two of them discussed it together.

For convenience, Lu Wan hung up the phone and the two of them change into video call.

On the screen, Chen Nianqing was wearing blue striped pajamas. Lu Wan was stunned for a moment, thinking that this look was a tinge adorable.

Not the same as usual.

Kind of cute.

It took the two twenty minutes just studying this topic.

Waiting until they have solved it, Chen Nianqing put down his pen and said, “Since were done with this problem, we should talk about something else.”

Lu Wan: “Talk about what? Do you have math problems too?”

Chen Nianqing laughed, shook his head and said, “No, I want to ask, what type of the opposite gender do you like?”

Lu Wan had not really thought about this.

“At least someone who isn’t too noisy.”

“That boy in your class?”

“Li Che? No.” Lu Wan replied in seconds.

Chen Nianqing pleasantly smiled, “I think the person you like must be smarter, more considerate and better-looking than me. Otherwise, as a friend, I won’t be able to let him pass.”

Lu Wan: “Shoot. You’re making it hard for me. Better-looking than you? Who? Someone smarter than you is already hard enough.”

Chen Nianqing: “If not, you might as well like me.”

“Sounds like…… there won’t be one. Someone that I can get along with will be fine.” Lu Wan thought for a while and then asked, “Then don’t talk about me, how about yourself? You don’t have any beautiful girl you like?”

Chen Nianqing: “What kind of person do you think you are?”

Lu Wan: “Hey, hey, you still haven’t answered the question just now. Of course I’m a very nice person!”

Chen Nianqing: “En, then the person I like must feel that she’s a nice person.”

Lu Wan’s brain turned. She frowned and said, “What you said is the same as if you didn’t say anything. These days, villains think they are nice people. That’s rather cunning.”

Chen Nianqing was a little helpless. “All right, then I won’t say it. Good night.”

“Good night, I’m going to sleep.” Lu Wan cut off the video call.

She lay on the bed and thought again. So what kind of person does Chen Nianqing like?

Anyway, it wouldn’t be someone like her? Although she’s not bad herself.

Maybe it’s because the two of them doesn’t match. It’s definitely not because she’s no good.
