Chapter 5: Turn around and go to the hospital

Li Zhibai drove, taking Lu Yan He and Yan Liang to find a restaurant nearby to eat.

In the car, Li Zhibai told Yan Liang about Lu Yan He almost drowning in the river as if it were a bizarre news story.

Yan Liang looked at Lu Yan He in shock.

"You didn't come back all night yesterday because of this?" he said in shock. "I thought you went back to your uncle's house for your birthday."

Lu Yan He: "You guys shouldn't tell anyone else about this."

"Does Brother Ping'an know?"

"He knows. He was the one who picked me up yesterday."

"I thought so. I called him early this morning, and he was swearing and in a terrible mood. So that's why he didn't sleep well last night," Li Zhibai laughed. "I thought he had reached menopause."

Yan Liang: "Why did you call him early in the morning? Was it just to snatch 'Supernova Games'?"

"Your brain has a disease. I told you this has nothing to do with me, and you're still nagging," Li Zhibai said speechlessly. "I don't even want to go on this crappy show, running around and sweating."

Yan Liang said: "Then go tell Zhou Ping'an to give the opportunity for this show back to me."

Li Zhibai: "Why? Since he gave this opportunity to me, I should give it back to you? Do I have a brain disease to do such a good deed?"

That's true... righteous and confident.

Lu Yan He felt his head buzzing from the endless argument between these two teammates.

Too noisy, these two people.

"Then you said you didn't want to go on this show."

"I won't take the initiative to go, but since the opportunity was given to me, should I not take it?"

"Heh."

"Heh your sister."

"Your sister!"

Lu Yan He decided to quickly find a topic to end their endless argument in this cramped space.

"Stop, do you two have no work today?" he asked.

Li Zhibai and Yan Liang finally paused their argument.

"No work," Li Zhibai said. "Didn't Luna's fans scold me last week for riding her coattails? They scold me in my Weibo comments every day. Zhou Ping'an told me to avoid the limelight, so all my work this week is stopped."

Yan Liang sneered: "Deserved."

Lu Yan He was afraid the two would argue again, so he hurriedly asked Yan Liang before Li Zhibai could counterattack.

"What about you?"

Yan Liang was the "three-good student" in the Fengzhi group—serious, positive, and although his personality was very ordinary in private, he was always the one with the best image in public.

Yan Liang said: "I have to practice dancing this afternoon, and this Friday I have to record 'Hello, Life.' They arranged for me to do a dance performance on the show."

A faint envy arose in Lu Yan He's heart.

He was surprised by this emotion, feeling envious involuntarily when hearing others had work arrangements.

Was this the original owner's strong obsession?

Yan Liang asked: "Yan He, why are you still carrying such a big bag?"

"Going to school this afternoon," Lu Yan He said. "When Brother Ping'an sent me back yesterday, he suggested I spend more time reading. I think he makes a lot of sense."

Yan Liang and Li Zhibai were silent at the same time.

Actually, as Lu Yan He's teammates, for this teammate who sang ordinarily, had no talent, and had a terrible family background, they also felt that Lu Yan He was not really suited for the entertainment industry.

But they had never said these words to Lu Yan He's face.

?

Although Lu Yan He had never said it directly, almost everyone in the Fengzhi group knew Lu Yan He's longing for the stage and the camera.

Especially as Lu Yan He's roommates, Yan Liang and Li Zhibai knew how hard this teammate worked.

Unfortunately, some people only need ten percent effort to achieve one hundred percent effect, while some people put in one hundred percent effort and can only achieve ten percent effect.

Lu Yan He didn't intend to let the atmosphere stop there.

"I've thought it through. If I can get a score of six hundred in the college entrance exam, then I'll be a proper top student," he said. "By then, I'll be the one with the best grades among artists, and I won't have to worry about no one paying attention."

As Lu Yan He's classmate at the Thirteenth High School, Yan Liang knew Lu Yan He's usual grades very well, so hearing what Lu Yan He said, he didn't know whether to encourage him or... encourage him.

"Yan He, did you catch a cold, get a fever, after falling into the water yesterday?" Yan Liang asked.

Otherwise, why would he say something that sounded like his brain had been burned out?

Lu Yan He: "Maybe I can even get into Peking University."

"Peking University?" Yan Liang asked in confusion. "Where is Peking University?"

Lu Yan He then realized he had let something slip.

In this parallel world, there were no Tsinghua or Peking Universities, only Yuming University and Zhenhua University, which held the same status in the country as Tsinghua and Peking.

He explained: "Uh, I misspoke. I meant, maybe I can even get into Yuming or Zhenhua."

Yan Liang said to Li Zhibai with concern: "Should you turn around first, and let's go to the hospital?"

Li Zhibai also nodded solemnly: "I think that's a good idea."

Lu Yan He: "... Do you two have to be so exaggerated?"

"After one night, you're like a different person," Yan Liang said.

"That's because when I almost died, I suddenly figured something out," Lu Yan He said.

"What did you figure out?"

"If I died, I would have left nothing in this world," Lu Yan He said. "I want to start over and not be like before."

Yan Liang said: "The idea is a good idea, but one still has to be down-to-earth."

"Exactly, if you could get into Yuming or Zhenhua, your uncle wouldn't have sent you to participate in a talent show in the first place."

Lu Yan He said: "Let's work hard first. Who knows? Dreams still have to be had. What if they come true?"

Yan Liang: "... Fine, then you work hard first."

He and Li Zhibai looked at each other in the driver's seat and passenger seat, seeing the same shock and doubt in each other's eyes.

The change in Lu Yan He was too great.

Overnight, the person who was inferior, timid, and didn't dare to say a word suddenly became like this.

It couldn't be said he was a completely different person, but it was as if he had suddenly been opened up, and the whole person became confident and flamboyant.

At least Yan Liang would never have joked with Lu Yan He about "let's turn around and go to the hospital" before.

He wouldn't dare.

The Lu Yan He of the past was too sensitive; he didn't say anything, but he minded it in his heart and was prone to overthinking.

Today... many things were different.

The atmosphere between the three of them was also different.

Li Zhibai parked the car, got out, and put on sunglasses and a mask.

Yan Liang also put on a duck-billed cap and a mask.

Lu Yan He, who was "not found" in the system, had no worries and got out of the car without any disguise, open and honest.

"Robbery—he robbed my bag—"

A scream rose from the ground.
