Chapter 51: Confiding Feelings

At this moment, Lin Yi didn't know about these things.

But even if he did, he wouldn't care.

Just a second-generation official who lives off his family, relying on his family's status to get whatever he wants.

Generally, once such a person leaves the protection of their family, they are a piece of trash.

And Lin Yi, ever since he obtained the Military-industrial System.

The people he contacted were all people like the resistance foxes in the Middle East,

for whom killing and arson were as common as drinking cold water.

Compared to these people, what is a second-generation official?

Moreover, society is not what it used to be, and internet media is very developed.

If the other party really used some underhanded tricks.

Once it triggers public opinion, no matter who it is, they will be in big trouble.

At this time, Lin Yi soon arrived downstairs at the girls' dormitory,

and before long, he saw a beautiful figure.

Wearing a small black camisole, plus a white chiffon cardigan,

paired with a blue and white plaid long skirt on the bottom, and white sneakers.

An elegant and youthful temperament came rushing towards him.

Coupled with Han Yajing's exquisite facial features and fair skin.

Even though the clothes on her body were cheap goods, they were still very attractive,

and the head-turning rate while walking on the road was estimated to reach 100%.

So much so that even Lin Yi was momentarily distracted.

"What's wrong?" Han Yajing saw his appearance and couldn't help but ask curiously.

She thought there was something wrong with her outfit.

"Nothing, just momentarily distracted upon seeing a beauty. I finally understand the meaning of what the ancients said about a beauty's smile toppling cities and then toppling nations!"

Lin Yi praised.

Hearing such a blunt compliment, Han Yajing's cheeks flushed red, and she coquettishly scolded:

"Smooth talker, I'm not talking to you!"

Saying this, she walked towards the school gate.

"Haha!" Lin Yi followed immediately.

The two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the school's east gate, first taking a bus, then getting on Metro Line 9,

and all the way to Nanjing East Road Station where they got off.

Soon, the two arrived at Shanghai's most prosperous Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street.

Because it was the weekend, even if it wasn't a holiday, Nanjing Road was still packed with people.

Many tourists from other places coming to Shanghai would choose Nanjing Road as their first stop.

This place could be considered the most prosperous pedestrian street in Shanghai, with a status just like Wangfujing Street in the Imperial Capital.

It could be described as every inch of land being worth an inch of gold.

Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street connects from People's Square all the way to the Bund.

To be honest, don't look at the fact that Lin Yi has lived in Shanghai for more than two years,

but as the most famous attraction in Shanghai, Nanjing Road, he could say he had never been here even once.

On one hand, it was quite far from the school; even by bus or subway, it took an hour and a half.

On the other hand, it was because his pockets were empty.

Many products on Nanjing Road were not cheap.

Even if Lin Yi could afford them, given his frugal nature from before, he wouldn't buy them.

Finally, naturally, it was because he didn't have a girlfriend, and he was even less interested in shopping.

"Beautiful Han, have you ever shopped at Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street with your roommates after coming to Shanghai?"

Lin Yi asked.

Hearing this, Han Yajing shook her head.

"Bai Lu and the others once invited me to come here to shop, but I didn't come...!"

Actually, her situation was similar to Lin Yi's.

No money in her pocket; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so eager to work and study as soon as she started her freshman year.

"What about you?" Han Yajing asked.

Lin Yi immediately smiled and spread his hands:

"For more than two years, let alone Nanjing Road, I haven't been to Yuyuan, the Bund, Xintiandi, or Lujiazui even once.

If you ask why..."

He emptied his pants pocket, which was completely empty and clean.

Regarding this, Han Yajing asked in surprise:

"You have no money?"

"I'm talking about the past. I remember when I first came to Shanghai, besides the tuition fees that my parents borrowed with great difficulty, I only had 100 yuan left on me.

To save that 100 yuan, for a period of time, I only ate one meal every three days!"

Speaking of this, Lin Yi smiled with relief:

"Here I want to thank those roommates of mine. One day, I was about to faint from hunger.

At that time, Ye Yu saw me like this and directly took me to a nearby restaurant, ordering three meat dishes for me,

braised chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised lion's head... I remember Ye Yu said at the time,

'From now on, whatever I, Ye Yu, eat, you, Third Brother, will have!'"

Speaking of this, Lin Yi sighed:

"That meal was the most delicious one I've ever eaten in my life, and it's one I will never forget!"

Later, when Wang Pangzi and Duan Yun found out about this,

they held a meeting in the dorm and each sponsored 500 yuan.

To be honest, Lin Yi later often gave his dorm roommates some benefits,

the main reason being to thank these roommates for the help they gave him during his most difficult times.

Han Yajing listened to Lin Yi's story,

and she really didn't expect that the other party would have such a down-and-out time.

"You don't know, in 2014, when the per capita income in Shanghai was over 40,000, in our Guizhou mountain area, our family's annual income definitely didn't exceed 4,000 yuan... only about 300 yuan a month..."

Lin Yi sighed:

"Seeing my parents begging everywhere for money for my education, I swore that I would never take another penny from my parents again.

Later, I achieved it. Except for the first semester of university, I not only achieved self-sufficiency,

but also sent some money back to my parents every month to improve their lives."

Hearing this, Han Yajing also felt very moved in her heart.

In the past, she felt she had suffered enough. Originally, she was prepared to apply to the Imperial Dance Academy or the Shanghai Dance Academy.

However, her mother fell seriously ill at this time. Although the family spent a lot of money, they still couldn't save her mother.

Instead, they owed a large debt.
