Lu Yan He laughed and said: "Forced, right?"

Li Pengfei tutted twice.

"I say, how many times do you have to express this kind of emotion?" Lu Yan He teased. "When can you work a little harder yourself, you won't ask me if I've been possessed over and over again."

"Not reconciled." Li Pengfei said indignantly, "Your grades were worse than mine before."

"That's because I didn't come to school."

"You think I'm really studying every day when I come to school?"

"Are you embarrassed to say that? And you are very proud?"

Li Pengfei spat at him, "Don't put a hat on me. Are you embarrassed for not coming to school? And very proud? Are you so popular that you don't have time to come to school?"

Lu Yan He: "..."

Was checkmated.

Nothing to say.

Mainly because Li Pengfei's words were actually very logical, leaving him unable to refute.

"Hmm?" Lu Yan He's eyes suddenly paused, showing surprise.

"What's wrong?" Li Pengfei looked in the direction of Lu Yan He's gaze and saw a girl with a ponytail, very bright eyes, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, looking very ordinary, plain-faced, with a bit of fatigue on her face.

"Do you know her?" Li Pengfei asked.

Lu Yan He nodded and said: "I ran into her at the school gate this morning, she said she was Xu Zijun's sister, Xu Fanxing."

Li Pengfei showed a surprised expression.

"Then why is she standing here? Waiting for Xu Zijun?"

"Should be, but Xu Zijun doesn't seem to want to see her." Lu Yan He explained, "I told Xu Zijun about her sister waiting at the school gate as soon as I arrived in the classroom this morning, but Xu Zijun didn't say anything and didn't come out to see her."

"Uh." Li Pengfei pondered for a moment and said: "Could it be because of that recommendation indicator?"

Lu Yan He said: "Don't know, this is not easy to guess."

"Then go ask her." Li Pengfei had an open-minded attitude of "nothing is impossible," threw down this sentence, and walked straight toward Xu Fanxing, "Are you Xu Zijun's sister?"

Xu Fanxing was startled by the sudden question, subconsciously took a step back, and looked at this tall boy with some guard.

"Who are you?"

Lu Yan He had to go over too.

"Hello, he is Li Pengfei, we are all Xu Zijun's classmates." Lu Yan He explained, "I told Xu Zijun this morning, didn't you see her?"

Seeing Lu Yan He appear, Xu Fanxing's guard converged slightly.

She showed a bitter smile and said: "Zijun, she might not want to see me."

"Why?" Li Pengfei asked directly, "You are her sister, did you do something sorry to her, so she doesn't want to see you?"

Lu Yan He: "..."

Li Pengfei still had that reckless personality, asking whatever he wanted, not subtle at all.

But this direct attitude made Xu Fanxing smile helplessly.

Ten minutes later, the three of them sat down in a small restaurant opposite the school.

Li Pengfei said: "You guys see what to eat, tell me, I'll pay."

All were single-serving rice bowls.

Lu Yan He ordered a 12-yuan cucumber stir-fried meat, Xu Fanxing ordered a 10-yuan tomato and egg, and said: "You are Xu Zijun's classmates, I will treat you."

Li Pengfei directly pressed Xu Fanxing, who was about to stand up to order, back into her seat.

"Just kidding, who pays for themselves when eating with me." He domineeringly pulled the menu and went to the ordering counter.

Xu Fanxing hesitated.

Lu Yan He said: "Sister Fanxing, have you been waiting at the school gate all day?"

"Yeah." Xu Fanxing nodded, took her gaze back from Li Pengfei's figure, and sighed, "Sorry, I've caused you trouble, and let you treat me to dinner."

Lu Yan He said: "Although it's not me who paid, we are all very willing to treat Xu Zijun's sister to dinner, it's okay. Actually, we are all a bit confused, why doesn't Xu Zijun want to see you?"

"Because I don't want her to give up her recommendation quota." Xu Fanxing sighed, "She gave it up for me. Chu Saiying's family took 200,000 to our family to persuade Zijun to give up this quota. Originally Zijun refused to give it up. She has been working very hard to get into university and has never been lazy. Later, our parents said that if she refused to give it up, they would let me come back to marry and earn a bride price to make up for this 200,000, so she was forced to agree."

Li Pengfei's face was completely at a loss, shocked by this series of words that seemed to have nothing to do with his whole life.

"Bride, bride price?"

Xu Fanxing said: "I didn't know about this before, later I saw someone send me a message, only then did I know she gave up the recommendation quota."

Lu Yan He also didn't know how to react for a while.

"No, your parents are too wicked!" Li Pengfei reacted and was immediately furious, "For this 200,000, they even forced you to come back and marry someone, just to earn a bride price? Are they sick?"

Xu Fanxing looked at the boy with upright features and innocent anger in front of her, who looked like a child who had grown up in the love of his parents since childhood.

Only such people would be righteously angry at such a time.

She had no intention of telling Xu Zijun's two classmates too much.

She said: "I want to persuade Zijun to give up this plan. She has been working hard since childhood to go to university. I know how rare it is to have such an opportunity. I don't want her to give up this opportunity for me, so I rushed back, wanting to see her, but she refused to see me."

Lu Yan He said: "In this situation, if I were Xu Zijun, I wouldn't see you either."

Li Pengfei said: "However, don't take this kind of thing too seriously. With Xu Zijun's grades, even without independent enrollment, she can still get into a good university."

Lu Yan He nodded.

Xu Fanxing shook her head, "The college entrance exam only has one chance, no one knows what will happen. If there is a safer opportunity, I don't want her to give it up. I have no chance to go to university, she cannot be delayed anymore."

She suddenly took out a stack of folded paper from her bag, which looked like it was torn from some notebook.

She handed it to Lu Yan He and said: "Can I trouble you to help me give this to her? I have to take the train back to Guangzhou tonight, I only asked for one day off. Let her definitely read it carefully."

Lu Yan He held this stack of folded paper, roughly feeling it was four or five pages thick, looking at Xu Fanxing's eyes full of pleading, and couldn't say any words of refusal at all. ===== CHAPTER 109 =====

She handed it to Lu Yan He and said, "Could you please help me give this to her? I have to take the train back to Guangzhou tonight; I only took one day off. Please make sure she reads it carefully."

Lu Yan He held the stack of folded paper, which felt about four or five sheets thick to the touch, and looking at Xu Fanxing's eyes filled with entreaty, he found it impossible to say no.
