Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Li Shuo didn't ask "Why is it none of my business?" without getting to the bottom of the matter. He just sat down next to Bai Lu and didn't say anything at first. He just accompanied Bai Lu to class.

After a while, Bai Lu couldn't help but say:

"Are you free this afternoon? Why are you staying with me?"

Li Shuo smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Of course I have to make time to accompany you..."

Before he left Lenghai, Bai Lu confessed to him for the first time, so Li Shuo guessed that Bai Lu's current situation might be related to his failure to give a clear response at that time. But in that scene, with Min Yuerou there, how could he agree? Of course, it was impossible to refuse, as he had finally raised a big girl...

Bai Lu curled her lips, but did not take the opportunity to get angry or act coquettishly. She just nodded coldly and continued to remain silent.

"How was your vacation? I heard rumors from school that Sister Min...um, Min Yuerou took you on a tour around the area? And even took you around the drama academy?"

In front of Bai Lu, Li Shuo always paid attention to how he addressed Min Yuerou. Words like "your mother" were absolutely taboo.

"I went to Suzhou and Hangzhou, but I didn't find anything fun..."

Bai Lu recounted her holiday life in a calm tone. It sounded like Min Yuerou took her to many places and the vacation was quite colorful. However, when she described it this way, it seemed calm.

"...In the end, it was Min Yuerou's idea to go to the drama academy. She wanted to see where her boyfriend lived and studied. In other words, she actually hoped to be taken by her boyfriend to wander around the school..."

Li Shuo vaguely understood: after all, mother and daughter are connected by heart, this girl seems to care about Min Yuerou's feelings, even if she suffers some grievances, she can pretend not to care, so...

"Did Min Yuerou say anything to you?" Li Shuo asked abruptly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Lu could no longer hold back and tears started to flow down.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Is there something you can't tell me? You know, most of the troubles in this world can be easily solved by me."

Li Shuo's voice was particularly gentle, just as everyone in his fish pond and his secretary's office felt, he treated Bai Lu differently from all other women.

After all, other women are just partners, but Bai Lu has been "raising" him since he started school. It is not wrong to say that he is "taking care of his daughter".

This is actually the reason why Li Shuo has never conquered Bai Lu: Maybe he wanted to have sex with both mother and daughter at the beginning, but people's ideas are constantly changing. To put it bluntly, there are many women, but there is only one daughter!

Bai Lu's senses are also extremely sharp, especially after she confessed her love before the holiday: before, she always thought that the position of Li Shuo's girlfriend would be hers sooner or later, but after she confessed her love, she found that Li Shuo didn't even react!

Coupled with Min Yuerou's discipline of her and the chaotic relationship between the three, this is the fundamental reason why Bai Lu is avoiding Li Shuo now.

Seeing Bai Lu crying silently, Li Shuo reached out his hand and took her out quietly from the back door, then into the dance studio next door. He then hugged Bai Lu in his arms and patted her shoulders gently:

"I won't ask you what happened. Cry if you want to. After you're done crying, calm down and think about what you want. Then tell me. Even if you want the moon in the sky, I will fund a moon landing plan!"

In an instant, Bai Lu felt extremely safe, as if he had an old father whom he could rely on for the rest of his life!

"Woooooooo..."

She hugged Li Shuo and burst into tears instantly.

But she only cried for half a minute, her voice gradually lowered, and then she raised her head suddenly and said stubbornly: "From now on, don't always treat me as your daughter!"

Li Shuo raised his eyebrows: "What?"

Bai Lu said: "Min Yuerou doesn't allow me to have a boyfriend at school, especially you. She told me to stay away from you!"

Li Shuo was shocked and blurted out: "Ah? She knows about the two of us?"

Bai Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What's wrong with us?"

Li Shuo finally reacted, and in a flash of thought, he finally sorted out the relationship.

"I didn't think it was a big deal. Min Yuerou only knew that we were classmates before, and she had no idea what kind of relationship we had... Of course, we didn't have any ambiguous relationship. Isn't it natural for her to leave with her identity and keep you away from a scumbag like me?"

Bai Lu thought about it carefully, and suddenly he understood:

Yes, earlier, she was the one who had been trying to find out about the relationship between Li Shuo and Min Yuerou. She knew that they knew each other, that they had a relationship, and even that they had slept together!

But Min Yuerou's perception of her relationship with Li Shuo has always remained at the level of "classmates at most", so her words were naturally not out of jealousy towards Bai Lu, because she didn't even know there was such jealousy!

In an instant, Bai Lu relieved all the pressure in her heart and couldn't help but smile: "Yes, why didn't I think of it before!"

Li Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So what are you thinking about?"

Bai Lu blurted out: "I thought she knew that I confessed to you, so she said that..."

With just one sentence, the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous. Bai Lu then realized that she was completely nestled in Li Shuo's arms. She had just been crying and laughing, and her tears had wet a large area of ​​Li Shuo's clothes on his chest.

Neither the man nor the woman moved. Bai Lu was extremely enjoying her current state and felt completely enveloped in happiness.

Li Shuo was struggling madly in his heart: Should he carry out the initial plan? It felt good to raise Bai Lu as his daughter. But what if his daughter got married in the future, how would the old father feel? What's more, he was a fake father who had dirty thoughts!

In the end, the moral concepts formed over a long period of time successfully suppressed the messy thoughts. Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "I will pretend that the confession never happened. Xiaobai, although we are classmates, I have always regarded you as..."

Before he could finish, Bai Lu raised his hand and covered his mouth.

She was not stupid, how could she not hear the hidden meaning of Li Shuo's words? If she let Li Shuo say it, Bai Lu felt that she really had no chance!

But no matter what she thought in her heart, on the surface she sneered and said nonchalantly: "Li Shuo, what do you think of me? Aren't we classmates? I say, you are so young, can you stop thinking too much?"

"listen"

The girl poked Li Shuo's nose with her finger and said seriously, "Because of Min Yuerou, I was too casual with you before. Now I formally apologize to you. Please treat us as ordinary male and female classmates in the future!"

"Also, Min Yuerou is Min Yuerou, and I am me. From now on, just pretend we don't know each other!"

This means she is not a daughter anymore?

Li Shuo raised his eyebrows. For some reason, he felt like a burden had been lifted from his heart and he instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Okay then, Bai Lu classmate, please take care of me in the future!"

"Hehe, okay, classmate Li Shuo!"

The two shook hands and smiled brightly.

People are best at deceiving themselves...

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Bai Lu got up from Li Shuo's arms like lightning, and quickly rubbed his face to restore his expression to normal.

Li Shuo asked: "Who is it? Please come in..."

Zhou Haiqiong poked her head over from the door and said with a smile, "After the class, I saw that you were not here, so I guessed that you would be here..."

Although Zhou Haiqiong was highly respected by Bai Lu for her teaching, she still curled her lips at this moment, then stood up and said, "Teacher Zhou, you guys chat, I'll go out first..."

Zhou Haiqiong quickly stepped aside and waited for Bai Lu to walk out of the door. With a click, she locked the door and immediately threw herself into Li Shuo's arms...

"Hubby, I miss you so much..."

……

Having a tryst with Zhou Haiqiong in the single dance room has become a necessary part of Li Shuo's visit to the teaching and training center, and he personally enjoys it very much.

This time, because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, the single man and woman stayed together for a little longer. Until 5 pm, when they came out of the dance studio, the students had already left.

"Teacher Zhou, I thought you had left..."

As soon as the two of them went out, a man in his forties came towards them. He saw that there was someone next to Zhou Haiqiong, who was her student at the time, so he waved at her and motioned for her to come over and talk.

"what's up?"

Li Shuo lifted Zhou Haiqiong up one step and walked forward to ask.

The man was stunned for a moment, looking at his appearance, and asked in confusion: "Excuse me, who are you?"

"Hello, I'm Li Shuo, assistant to the board of directors of Leng Yi."

As he spoke, Li Shuo stretched out his hand.

The man showed a look of realization, then shook hands with Li Shuo, smiling warmly but at a distance, and said, "Hello, I'm Dong Shanchuan, the executive director of Lengwen. I've heard of the name of Dean Liu's disciple a long time ago. Now that I see you, you're indeed a young talent!"

Lenghai Drama Academy is a nationally renowned art university. Ten years ago, it not only had teaching business, but also various art and cultural undertakings. It was involved in almost all cultural and artistic affairs in Lenghai, and it had numerous drama troupes and art galleries under its umbrella.

After President Liu took charge of the college, he reformed the college and separated the "Lenghai Art Development Company" and the "Lenghai Cultural Development Company", namely Lengyi and Lengwen.

Leng Yi is responsible for film and television and other areas, while Leng Wen is responsible for other areas such as opera, painting, and music.

Because of the attributes of the film and television industry, Lengyi also has the attributes of an agency. It has signed a large number of artists from the academy, which not only provides employment guarantees for the graduates of the academy, but also ensures that Lengyi itself has a steady flow of fresh funds to ensure profits and its own development needs. Therefore, it is in good operating condition and is still a state-owned company.

Leng Wen did not have such convenient conditions, and many of the artworks he had on hand could not be sold. So after five years, he introduced private capital in 5 and carried out reform and restructuring. After the restructuring, Vice President Lu of the Academy of Drama (also director of the Academy's Asset Management Office) served as chairman of the board.

From this appointment, it can be seen that the college "does not attach importance" to Leng Wen, so a large amount of power is delegated to the board of directors and management. Dong Shanchuan, as the "executive director", is the one with the most power.

Li Shuo recalled the information about Leng Wen, and his smile became more "social". He mentioned Dong Shanchuan's achievements and praised him:

"I don't deserve your praise, Mr. Dong. Your fame in opera is well known to us students..."

Dong Shanchuan smiled reservedly, then said, "There will be a meeting later, about the Academy Drama Grand Prix, and Teacher Zhou is needed to attend. Will Assistant Li come?"

"Oh? Can I?"

Li Shuo had listened to the "Drama Grand Prix" many times, and now he became more interested in it.

Dong Shanchuan was stunned. He was just being polite. Everyone knew that Dean Liu's apprentice was just a figurehead. Why was this kid so excited?

"Of course, no problem. Leng Wen and Leng Yi are from the same family..."

"Well, Mr. Zhou, shall we go together?"

This meeting was called the Drama Grand Prix Preparatory Meeting, and it was held in the teaching and training center. When Li Shuo followed Dong Shanchuan into the center, he saw familiar faces such as Wu Lu and Nie Shuangying. Then, he actually saw Vice President Lu on the podium!

At this time, Vice President Lu also saw Li Shuo. He was startled at first, but then he quickly reacted. He smiled and waved to the three people who rushed in and said, "Boss, you're here. Come and take a seat. Li Shuo, you sit there..."

This was a typical large conference room with the podium facing downwards. Lawyer Wu sat in the first row, Nie Shuangying sat in the second row, and Zhou Haiqiong, who was not mentioned, sat directly after the third row.

But the two people mentioned by Vice President Lu sat directly on the podium: Dong Shanchuan sat on his left, and Li Shuo sat at the last seat at the table for five people.

Even so, Li Shuo could still feel the fiery gazes looking at him from below!

After all, the other four people on the stage were over 4 years old on average, and his face was too eye-catching! However, everyone present was an old hand, and no one spoke for a while.

Vice President Lu on the stage coughed and began to speak: "Today we are going to discuss the Academy Drama Grand Prix..."

At the beginning, Li Shuo was still interested in listening. He learned that the Drama Grand Prix was not limited to Lenghai Drama Academy, but included all art colleges in the Yangtze River Delta area, and not only opera, but also drama, modern drama and other projects.

But as he listened, Li Shuo began to feel drowsy. Fortunately, he knew that this was his first public appearance that he had deliberately sought, so he could only stare at the audience with his eyes wide open.

The crowd in the audience was obviously relaxed, and some people were whispering to each other:

"Li Shuo? Who is that?"

"So young? Is there anyone like this in our system?"

These people finally gathered together to form one target: Zhou Haiqiong!

Zhou Haiqiong came in with Dong Shanchuan and Li Shuo. Many people saw this scene and came over to inquire.

"Li Shuo is Leng Yi's man and currently serves as an assistant to the board of directors."

Zhou Haiqiong only said one sentence, but those who were well-informed immediately thought of something and suddenly realized something. Then everyone said, "Oh, so that's why! No wonder!"

What's the wonder? The head of the drama department is Dean Liu, and even Vice Dean Lu is his good friend. As Dean Liu's last disciple, it's not surprising that Li Shuo is an assistant to the board of directors.

It’s the second generation, everyone can understand it.
