Chapter 9

A dinner was eaten in a harmonious atmosphere, making Li Ye feel full of warmth.

After dinner, Li Ye went to bed early. Since he transmigrated in the middle of last night, his spirit had been in a state of chaotic fusion, plus the physical weakness caused by the continuous high fever, making him a bit tired and thirsty for sleep.

After he fell asleep, grandfather Li Zhongfa darkened his face and found Li Kaijian.

"You go and find out what's going on with the rumors in the school now. Don't make too much noise."

Li Kaijian was also pondering this matter, so he went out on his bike and went to Li Dazhuang's house, returning angrily in less than an hour.

"It's truly bullying. They actually labeled Xiao Ye as Huang Shiren. I ctm... tomorrow I'll go and clean up that poor scholar, no, I'll go tonight."

Li Kaijian had retired for many years but still retained his explosive temper as a soldier. Hearing that his son had been wronged, he started cursing and wanted to go to the Lu family to get back the scene.

However, Li Zhongfa scolded: "What kind of fart are you talking about? Are you afraid that the child isn't uncomfortable enough in his heart? Don't you understand the truth that rumors get bigger and bigger the more you make them?"

Li Kaijian rarely stiffened his neck and argued with his old father: "Dad, do you know that Little Ye had a high fever for two days in the school dormitory, almost... We can't take this kind of grievance."

"Hmph, it's time for him to suffer a bit. We can protect him for a while, but we can't protect him for a lifetime."

Li Zhongfa said: "Didn't you see that Xiao Ye is different today? A hundred times tempered steel. Let Xiao Ye handle this matter himself in the future. Don't interfere anymore."

Li Kaijian turned around in circles angrily before saying resentfully: "I was truly blind back then, how did I not see that the little girl was so heartless?"

"Heh~, people have the capital to be heartless."

Li Zhongfa laughed in a low voice and said: "That college student Xiao Liu who was assigned to the county last year, do you know how fast he was promoted? So, you can't look down on the Lu family in the future, don't make enemies for no reason."

"..."

Li Kaijian was stunned for a moment before he slowly figured it out.

He, who was upright in character, was not as sensitive as Li Zhongfa, who had been through the waves. He still hadn't realized the value of a college student in this era.

Li Kaijian felt blocked in his heart and couldn't help but complain: "It's all Little Ye's fault for not being competitive. If he had also gotten into university, there wouldn't be these broken things."

Li Zhongfa rolled his eyes and said with contempt: "With your big rough guy, you can't even recognize the 24 letters, and you still have the nerve to talk about Xiao Ye?"

Li Kaijian was retorted by his old father until his eyes rolled white. He wanted to say that there were 26 English letters, but finally wisely swallowed the words.

If the two of them compared fists with others, they were seven unconvinced and eight unconvinced, but if they compared culture... neither of them could say anything about the other.

"Plop~"

A Warrior shoe stepped into the standing water after the rain, and the muddy sewage cheered, painting the originally white ball shoes pitch black.

Lu Zixue numbly pulled out his leg and continued to move forward in the dark.

His home was in Qianjin Village, Liu Qiao Township, thirty miles away from County No. 1 Middle School. When he had a bicycle before, he could get home in more than an hour.

Lu Zixue liked the feeling of riding a bike fast on the road, not only because of the wind whistling past his ears, but also because of the envious eyes of pedestrians on the road.

Just admitted to high school, and having a bicycle, and it was a Phoenix brand, this was how dashing it was.

But today Li Ye "robbed" the bicycle back, and Lu Zixue knew that this dirt road under his feet was so long, and he knew that walking was so hard.

It was late autumn, and it was already dark very early. Lu Zixue walked for three hours and fell several times before he saw the lights of Liu Qiao Township.

Liu Qiao Township was named because of a stone bridge spanning the Qingshui River. Crossing the river from Liu Qiao Township to the west and walking another four miles would reach Qianjin Village.

From afar, Lu Zixue found a small figure sitting under the light at the bridgehead, shrinking his body and looking at the direction of the county town with eager eyes.

After seeing Lu Zixue walking closer in a stumbling manner, the small figure stood up and rushed toward Lu Zixue in a panic.

Only then did Lu Zixue recognize that this was his younger sister, Lu Jingqi.

"Brother, why are you back so late... Where is your bicycle?"

"I..."

Looking at his younger sister, Lu Zixue couldn't answer, so he had to ask back: "What are you doing here?"

Lu Jingqi said: "Mom saw that it was dark and you weren't back, thought your car was broken, so she asked me to come and meet you. Brother, where is your bicycle?"

Lu Jingqi's continuous questioning of the bicycle aroused Lu Zixue's anger. He said unhappily: "Mom asked you to come out to meet me, then why are you sitting here? If I died on the road, no one would know, right?"

Lu Jingqi was stunned. After a long time, she said aggrievedly: "It's dark, I didn't dare to walk the night road... I didn't dare to walk to here..."

"Hmph, useless thing."

Lu Zixue turned and walked forward, leaving Lu Jingqi behind.

Now he felt that everyone owed him. His father and mother who had no money, his timid sister, and his sister who only cared about herself and not her family, all owed him.

After arriving home, Lu's father was grading homework, Lu's mother was making shoe soles, and meals were left for Lu Zixue on the table.

Seeing Lu Zixue enter the door, Lu's mother asked about the bicycle again.

Lu Zixue couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

After figuring out the cause, Lu's father remained silent, and Lu's mother felt sorry for her son, so she had to comfort him: "All right, all right, don't cry. Let your sister buy you one later, let's buy a new one."

"Buy a new one, right, I'll write to my sister, let her buy me a new one."

Lu Zixue, who had suddenly realized, didn't even eat his meal, hurriedly took out paper and pen, and poured all his resentment into the letter paper.

There were still stamps sent back by Lu Jingyao at home. Lu Zixue sealed the envelope, walked in the dark overnight to Liu Qiao Township, and threw the letter into the mailbox outside the post office.

The next morning, the thin envelope was loaded onto a truck, crossed a long distance, went north all the way, and arrived at the mailbox of the Beijing Foreign Studies University.

It was already very cold in Beijing in late autumn, and when the last autumn rain fell, the cold finally unveiled the prelude to early winter.

The annoying wind passed through the dense rain curtain, carrying cool wetness, silently pushed open the window, blew on Lu Jingyao's face, wet her eyelashes, and messed up her hair.

Lu Jingyao, who was holding a thick dictionary and reading and writing, moved slightly, first finished writing a word, then took a deep breath, letting the cool air seep into her chest and lungs.

She liked this faint coolness, which could make her tired brain clearer and improve her learning efficiency.

However, Lu Jingyao just felt refreshed when a soft voice came from the upper bunk of the bunk bed: "Lu Jingyao, can you trouble you to close the window? Close half of it, thank you."

Lu Jingyao hurriedly closed the window, blocking the wet cold of late autumn outside the window.

The roommate in the upper bunk, Watching Liu Muhan, was from the south and hadn't adapted to the climate in the north after just arriving in Beijing. Lu Jingyao couldn't just care about herself and not others.

"I'm sorry, Muhan, is your cold better?"

"It's okay, it's okay," Watching Liu Muhan poked her head out from the upper bunk and asked: "Jingyao, what book are you reading... oh... so diligent!"

Lu Jingyao smiled silently and lowered her head to continue reciting words silently.

It wouldn't work if she wasn't diligent!

Lu Jingyao was still a bit complacent when she was admitted to the Beijing Foreign Studies University, but after arriving in Beijing, she knew what it meant to have many talents.

Every young person who was admitted here had talent and confidence far beyond their peers.

For example, this Watching Liu Muhan, who was curled up in the quilt, could read original foreign novels without the help of a dictionary.

Lu Jingyao had secretly glanced at it a few times, and those dense tadpoles made her feel a bit dizzy.

As a self-improving girl who had finally leaped over the dragon gate, how could she be willing to fall behind others?

Lu Jingyao knew very well that her beautiful face was just a heaven-sent condition for icing on the cake.

Self-improvement and diligence were her most precious wealth, and the only reliance that could allow her to break free from the cage and breathe freely.

"Lu Jingyao, you have a letter."

Two girls walked into the dormitory briskly, one of whom handed the letter to Lu Jingyao, who was reading by the window.

Lu Jingyao took the envelope, thanked her roommate, and then opened it to read, while the two roommates were like curious cats, poking their heads around Lu Jingyao.

Soon, Lu Jingyao's face changed, and expressions of anger, confusion, and worry appeared on her beautiful cheeks in turn.

The two curious cats immediately discovered something interesting and stretched out their sharp claws. *** **Chapter 10: "Kind" Roommates**
