Chapter 153: His Mother

Li Zhenzhen said she would come, and she came.

Lu Yan He met her when he went out.

She was holding a handheld DVD, seemingly wanting to record something at any time.

"You go out so early?" Li Zhenzhen was very surprised to see him, "Get up so early."

"Going to the company for class." Lu Yan He had to go to acting class, and he was not in the company during the day.

Li Zhenzhen nodded and said: "Is that so? Is Li Zhibai up?"

Lu Yan He shook his head and said: "If he has nothing to do in the morning, he usually gets up after ten o'clock."

Li Zhenzhen smiled, "It seems that he said he was lazy and not deliberately shirking."

Lu Yan He just smiled and didn't pick up the conversation. Li Zhibai's laziness, he can say it himself, but it's not good for them, these friends, to say it in front of others. He said: "I'll go to the company first."

Li Zhenzhen suddenly thought of something and asked: "Yan He, I heard from Director Chen that you can write songs, right?"

Lu Yan He hurriedly shook his head and said: "I am not professional, it doesn't count as being able to write."

"I've heard that song 'Commemoration' of yours, I like it very much," Li Zhenzhen's eyes were full of sincerity, saying, "I want to ask you for a song as the theme song of this program. Your style of writing songs is quite compatible with this program."

Lu Yan He felt his head was big and immediately refused, saying: "Sorry, I really don't know how to write songs very well, you should find professional people."

This is when it really revealed the stuffing.

Lu Yan He felt that he had to seize the time to learn the staff, at least learn the most basic staff.

Li Zhenzhen showed disappointment.

"Okay."

Lu Yan He nodded to her and turned to leave.

Since entering June, the weather has become exceptionally hot.

Even at around 7:30 in the morning, the sun was like a furnace, starting to heat up this originally dry and hot world.

Lu Yan He got on the subway and just caught up with the morning peak.

People squeezed people, almost didn't squeeze him to vomit.

At this moment, I am exceptionally moved, fortunately, he has a direct bus to go to school.

"Buzz buzz," the phone suddenly vibrated.

Lu Yan He took a look, it turned out to be a message from Chen Ziyan: Went out?

Lu Yan He typed with difficulty in a cramped space: On the subway.

Chen Ziyan: Do you regret refusing me to arrange a special car for you now?

After Lu Yan He took a special car yesterday, he told Chen Ziyan that he didn't need it in the future, and he would take the subway by himself.

Lu Yan He was still a bit unaccustomed to being picked up and dropped off by car, feeling that he didn't need to be famous, and the posture was so full.

Now being teased by Chen Ziyan, Lu Yan He was also ashamed.

He did regret it a bit.

Chen Ziyan said: However, it is a good thing that you refuse the special car pick-up and drop-off now. Although I can arrange for the company to provide you with this service, it will still lead to some people's discussion, causing bad evaluation for you, and it is not a work car.

Lu Yan He: Hmm, I am also worried about this.

Chen Ziyan: But you must remember what your core task is. Now is to learn acting well. In the future, when you enter the group, you will act well in your role. Don't refuse others' preferential treatment to you because of shyness, embarrassment, and other problems. Maintaining the state is the most basic professional condition for an actor. At that time, don't be silly and help this person move things on the set, help that person send things.

Old mother Chen Ziyan is online again.

However, what she said was from the bottom of her heart.

Lu Yan He immediately replied with a "good" word.

"Alas, young man, so handsome!" Suddenly an old lady said to him loudly as if no one was there.

Her voice was very loud, and as soon as she shouted, everyone around looked over.

In such a crowded carriage, everyone was squeezed like in a sardine can. How many people cared about what the people around them looked like.

But with this shout, curiosity came.

Lu Yan He instantly became the target of everyone's eyes.

He suppressed the panic in his eyes, and for a while, he didn't know what reaction to make.

It was a feeling of being completely at a loss.

"Thank you." He thanked people awkwardly.

Then, someone recognized him.

"Isn't he Lu Yan He?"

"Who is Lu Yan He?"

Lu Yan He himself didn't know how many times he had heard such a conversation.

He could only smile awkwardly, and then pretend not to hear.

"Is the young man a star?" The old lady asked curiously when she saw someone recognize him.

Lu Yan He regretted that he

But since an old lady was kindly complimenting him on his good looks, he had to respond politely.

"I suppose so." Lu Yan He could only say this, smiling a little shyly.

Who knew that at this moment, someone suddenly said in a sarcastic tone, "How come these days, anyone can call themselves a star?"

Lu Yan He looked at that person in surprise.

That person was wearing a black jacket, had a very obvious beer belly, a look of disdain on his face, and a suture scar about seven centimeters long on his forehead.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Lu Yan He look over, that person immediately glared at him, his tone very fierce.

This person's attitude was very infuriating, but Lu Yan He didn't want to get into a conflict, so he withdrew his gaze.

However, at this moment, the old lady who had just complimented Lu Yan He on being handsome wasn't having it. She glared at the man with dissatisfaction and said in an unkind tone, "What kind of attitude is that? Did the young man provoke you? If you have something to say, say it nicely!"

The man in the black jacket was scolded to his face by the old lady and retorted with a straight face, "I don't like the look of him, what's it to you!"

The old lady wasn't afraid at all; her phoenix eyes widened, and her voice immediately became impassioned.

"I, an old lady, am sticking my nose into this business, so what?" Her tongue was sharp, too. "Do you think this society still lets you run wild? The young man hasn't said a single word, and you're the one here yapping away, being rude and disrespectful. You really think everyone is afraid of you, right?"

The old lady's stance was as if she had a son who was a general backing her up; she held her chest straight, leaving the man in the black jacket unable to get a word out.

His cheeks were flushed red, and he wanted to take a step toward her.

But the crowded carriage made it impossible for him to move freely.

"You think just because you're old, no one dares to touch you, right?"

"Yo, I've lived to be over seventy, and I don't know how many years it's been since I've seen someone dare to lay a hand on me." A sharp glint flashed in the old lady's eyes. "If you have the ability, go ahead and touch me!"

Lu Yan He saw that the two were about to get into a fight, and he didn't want the old lady to suffer, although she didn't look like she would.

"Please don't argue with him, let him say whatever he wants." Lu Yan He tried to move forward a bit, blocking half of the line of sight between the old lady and the man in the black jacket.

Seeing this, the old lady said, "It's okay, young man, don't be afraid. I don't believe this brat really dares to do anything."

"Get out of my way!" The man in the black leather jacket was greatly provoked and roared, actually pushing away some space in the already crowded area. Many people let out exclamations under the powerful pressure, and the man had already squeezed over. He was about to touch the old lady when Lu Yan He quickly raised his arm and blocked him.

"You're really going to lay a hand on an old person?" Anger appeared on Lu Yan He's face. He hadn't been this annoyed when he was mocked and ridiculed earlier. He glared at the man in the black leather jacket. "Try touching her and see what happens. I was tolerating you before to give you face and because I didn't want trouble. There are so many people here; do you think everyone will just watch you hit an old person?!"

"That's right!" A man immediately spoke up, looking at the man in the black leather jacket. "Brother, even if you're in a bad mood, don't take it out on others. They didn't provoke you."

"Yeah." A young woman in a white shirt also spoke up. "It's early in the morning, and the subway is already this crowded. Calm down."

The people around were stirred up, talking all at once.

At this time, the next station arrived.

The man in the black jacket's face was livid, and before he could react, a crowd of people suddenly pushed him from the inside toward the outside.

"Excuse me! We're getting off!" Many people squeezed the man out of the carriage.

He was so angry he cursed, "Damn it, are you blind? Didn't you see someone standing here?"

The people around immediately moved two steps away from him; for a moment, no one wanted to be near him.

He turned his head and saw almost everyone on the carriage looking at him with a derogatory gaze, each with an unkind expression, and some were even holding up their phones to film him.

He raised his hand and pointed at them, "What are you filming!"

The people he pointed at then put down their phones.

He wanted to get back on, but at this moment, the few men standing at the door blocked it in unison, refusing to make room for him.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep—"

The door-closing warning sound rang out.

"Get out of my way!" he shouted in desperation.

But just at this moment, someone from the crowd stretched out a leg and kicked him directly in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.

The door closed with a "clatter" at that very moment.

This scene on the subway was completely an unexpected interlude.

Lu Yan He hadn't reacted at all, nor had he expected that everyone would have such a reaction.

The old lady patted Lu Yan He on the shoulder and said, "Thank you just now, young man!"

She smiled kindly at Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He was very embarrassed and said, "I, I should also thank you for speaking up for me."

"What's this? There are fewer people like this now; there used to be plenty. They don't do any proper work, just wander the streets and look for trouble. I hate people like that the most." The old lady said, "I hated them when I was young, and I never let them get away with it, let alone now."

Her face was full of pride and righteousness, which made Lu Yan He breathe a sigh of relief.

After getting off the subway, Lu Yan He followed the crowd out of the station and discovered that he and the old lady had actually taken the same subway.

"Yo, are you getting off at this station too?" The old lady smiled at Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He nodded: "Yes, how about you?"

It was mainly because the old lady looked like she had already retired.

The old lady said happily, "I came over to deliver my son's ID card; he left it at home, so he asked me to bring it over."

Lu Yan He nodded.

"What does your son do?"

"Who knows? I just know he travels everywhere for work." The old lady said, "I don't really understand. I just came from my hometown a couple of days ago to see how he's doing."

Lu Yan He listened while accompanying the old lady to find the exit, and it turned out to be the same one.

What a coincidence.

Lu Yan He accompanied the old lady onto the elevator.

At the exit, Lu Yan He saw a familiar figure walking over with big strides, calling "Mom" to the old lady beside him.

This person was Zhou Ping'an.

Lu Yan He: "..."

This damn fate.

Zhou Ping'an also looked at Lu Yan He with an incredible gaze; perhaps he couldn't figure out why he would appear with his mother.

The old lady looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you two know each other?"

Lu Yan He looked at Zhou Ping'an.

It was better to leave this question for him to answer.

Zhou Ping'an coughed lightly in embarrassment and said, "We are from the same company."

The old lady smiled joyfully: "Oh, what a coincidence! This young man was very impressive just now. Someone was being fierce and wanted to lay a hand on your mother, and this young man stood up without a word and blocked him for me."

Hearing this, Zhou Ping'an looked at her nervously.

"Mom, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine, what kind of injury? I told you this young man blocked it for me." The old lady said immediately, "Ping'an, this young man is kind-hearted; you should take care of him more at the company."

Zhou Ping'an lowered his head and agreed; at this moment, he was even too embarrassed to look at Lu Yan He's face.

Lu Yan He couldn't be bothered to continue playing mind games with Zhou Ping'an here.

He smiled at the old lady and said, "I'm going back to the company first. You two chat slowly."

"Okay." The old lady replied crisply.

Lu Yan He went to the company, arriving half an hour early.

He had an appointment with Zhang Ming at nine in the morning, and it was only eight-thirty now.

Not long after entering the rehearsal room, Zhou Ping'an appeared again.

He knocked on the door, came in, and looked at Lu Yan He with a complex expression.

"What exactly happened just now?" he asked.

Lu Yan He explained briefly.

Zhou Ping'an hesitated, wanting to speak several times but stopping.

"What do you want to say? If it's to thank me, don't bother." Lu Yan He said directly, "I didn't know that was your mother at the time."

Zhou Ping'an frowned, "Do you mean if you had known she was my mother, you wouldn't have helped?"

"I would have thought her complimenting me on being handsome was ulterior-motivated." Lu Yan He said bluntly, "We don't need to say those things to gloss over the peace between us. To be honest, regarding the things between us, if we can be at peace with each other in the future and mind our own business, I'll thank the heavens."

Zhou Ping'an immediately sneered.

"Do you think I'm very free? Anyway, my work is already done, and Chen Ziyan wanting to sign you back can't be blamed on me."

After Zhou Ping'an finished speaking, he added: "I won't deliberately trip you up in the future; you don't need to worry about that."
