Chapter 81

The next day was a holiday. Zhai Da slept in and didn't get up until nearly nine o'clock.

As soon as he opened the door, Lu Wei fell straight in, in a backward posture.

Zhai Da hugged her. The weight-gain plan for the light girl didn't seem to have much effect yet.

The two looked at each other.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Wei blinked her eyes, seemingly not feeling that there was anything inappropriate in Zhai Da's arms, and said softly: "Waiting for you to get up."

"Why did you fall in backwards?"

"I waited too long and was tired, so I leaned against the door."

Zhai Da helped Lu Wei stand up and scratched his head: "What's so urgent? No, it's not right, if it's urgent, wake me up..."

"Study."

Zhai Da said speechlessly: "I don't plan to study today. Did you forget I said I'd accompany you out today?"

Lu Wei shook her head: "Study is more important, your math is only 150..."

"Show some respect, it's 152."

Although the grades were basically settled, it wasn't locked yet, was it? What Lu Wei's little brain was actually thinking about was still this matter.

Lu Wei repeated: "Study is more important."

Zhai Da shook his head firmly: "No, there is something far more important now."

"What?"

"I want to go to the bathroom."

Zhai Da squeezed out from Lu Wei's side and went straight to the bathroom.

Stopping a male comrade from going to the bathroom early in the morning... what's the difference from stabbing his bladder?

Just as he started to feel comfortable, a figure appeared outside the frosted glass door of the bathroom: "Zhai Da, let's study together."

"Turn left."

That figure obediently turned.

"March forward, walk further, stand against the wall."

A few seconds later, Lu Wei's voice came from further away.

"Zhai Da, let's study together..."

Zhai Da: ...

————

Yu Xiaoli had already gone to work, and today would be spent by Zhai Da and Lu Wei alone.

But Lu Wei was not normal today.

At the breakfast shop downstairs, there were no guests because of the time, and it was on the verge of closing. Zhai Da put a meat bun into Lu Wei's bowl: "I don't plan to study today... if I study, I'll talk about it when I come back at night. Stop being a broken record."

If it were an ordinary girl, she would probably pout to express her dissatisfaction at this time.

But Lu Wei... just stared at Zhai Da with big eyes.

"Math, the additional questions are very easy."

Zhai Da thought to himself, that's for you!

I'm a normal person! Who takes Olympiad math as a pastime after tea and dinner? Like reading a magazine...

"I didn't say I wouldn't study, but I have my own arrangements during the day, and you have to accompany me. We'll study slowly at night."

Lu Wei could only give up for the time being.

"Then... where are we going today?"

"Internet cafe."

Lu Wei: ...

She didn't speak, but her hand holding the chopsticks hardened.

Zhai Da thought with a full sense of mischief that this girl who couldn't express her emotions, would she actually be angry?

Zhai Da took an envelope out of his back pocket and handed it to Lu Wei.

Lu Wei opened it silently. Inside was half a slip of paper with "2700" written on it.

It was just a slip of paper, torn from some notebook, and the numbers were also handwritten.

"I've inquired, a tutor in Dongyang County is usually 30 yuan an hour."

"Every day we study together, it's a guarantee, one day is 90 yuan, basically never rested, every day."

"So this is your salary for the past month, a total of 2700 yuan."

Lu Wei fell into a crash holding the slip of paper written with a water pen. She seemed not to know where to start...

She insisted on not taking Zhai Da's money... but this wasn't money either...

Her little brain was running at high speed, and she could only think that this was some kind of joke by Zhai Da.

Just like those she didn't understand many times.

Zhai Da said: "Of course, I also tutored you, let's count my tutoring fee as 2700, but this counts as you owing me, we'll talk about it later."

Lu Wei was even more confused...

After breakfast, Zhai Da took the confused Lu Wei and headed towards Sabak.

"Sabak Internet Cafe" was still the same, and the smell inside was comparable to a poison circle, but if he wanted to use a computer, this was indeed the most convenient choice at present.

Zhai Da now had 30,000 yuan. In theory, he could buy a laptop, but occasionally using it once, he felt it was unnecessary, which would shrink his savings a lot. Laptops were not cheap in this era.

Not to mention desktop computers, there was no place to put them. His single desk was already crowded with two people. If Lu Wei wasn't thin enough, they would probably have to study shoulder to shoulder on weekdays.

The internet cafe manager, Brother Hai, was watching a movie behind the bar. Zhai Da stretched his neck and looked curiously. What caught his eyes was actually Iron Man.

Zhai Da was stunned...

This thing... existed in 2008?

The same year as the Jingbei Olympics? Why does it feel like things from two eras...

There was a feeling of time confusion...

"Is this movie new?"

Brother Hai, who was focused on the movie, said subconsciously: "High-definition resources, a new movie that hasn't been released for long."

After finishing, he looked up and saw Zhai Da, and smiled: "You kid... came to fulfill your wish?"

Zhai Da reacted that the other party was talking about the [Bookworm Glasses Cloth], and also smiled and boasted:

"Not yet, but I just finished the third mock exam, and I only got 400 points."

"Hmm? Only 400 points... you're afraid you won't be able to get into university..."

Zhai Da was stunned: "Hey, this year is the new college entrance exam rule, full score 480!"

Not everyone pays attention to the college entrance exam. Most adults only see one or two news items at a specific time, let alone the specific changes in rules.

Brother Hai might still be stuck in the concept of a 750 full score.

"Yo, that's a bit powerful."

As for how powerful it was, he might not have converted it yet.

Zhai Da took out his ID card: "Open a machine, is there any money left in the account? If not, top up fifty."

The account here is directly bound to the ID card, and there is no concept of a physical card.

Brother Hai scanned it and looked at the screen: "There are still 20 yuan, you go up first. Don't you open one for the little girl?"

"No need, we'll use one."

Lu Wei still didn't know why Zhai Da wanted to come to the internet cafe, nor did she know why she wanted to bring her along. She just honestly sat in the corner by the window with Zhai Da.

Here you can open the window, and the air is good.

Zhai Da logged into the account and opened the browser.

Then he searched Baidu, clicked on the official websites of various departments in the scattered province, and clicked around, busy for a full half hour.

Lu Wei was already quietly reading an Olympiad book. She was organizing how to tutor Zhai Da tonight.

Only then did she hear Zhai Da say: "Okay, come and see."

Lu Wei turned to look, and was stunned.

On the screen, it was a familiar wooden dressing table...

Mom's dressing table...

Zhai Da pointed to the screen and said: "First time doing this, a bit hard to find... although the online judicial auction channel is open, it's still a bit niche."

"Which also means... there are no competitors."

Zhai Da turned the screen to Lu Wei, "produced" the slip of paper with "2700" written on it from behind Lu Wei's ear, and placed it in Lu Wei's plain white palm.

"Pick and see, which ones do you want to buy back?"

"Use your own money."

Going around such a circle was just to let Lu Wei, who was unwilling to take money, be able to let go of her prejudice against money.

To use her own hard-earned money to patch up those messy and broken things from the past.
