Lu Chen put his hands in his trouser pockets, and there was a speech script written by Shen Yi himself, and the notes were handsome enough for him to frame them.

When you put something important on your body, you can't help but touch it subconsciously.Just like Lu Chen is now, his hands are on the A4 paper in his pocket all the way, as if he wants to confirm its existence at any time.

Lu Chen followed the teachers and entered the venue in pairs. Shen Yi and the others were already preparing behind the scenes.The teachers were sitting at the front, and Lu Chen could see the bright red curtain flickering in front of him, and occasionally saw him busy at the edge of the stage.

Lu Chen looked at the vacant seat at the front, and there were a few big golden flowers tied on the backrest.Lu Chen turned sideways and asked Li Mulan next to him, "Mr. Li, why is the chair at the front different? The big leader sitting there?"

"Well, it's not an ordinary big leader." Li Mulan suppressed her voice, "I heard that the mayor is here."

Lu Chen opened his mouth in shock, "No way, it's so grand!"

Lu Chen pinched the paper in his pocket, feeling that the white paper was almost soaked in sweat from his palms.He hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook it in mid-air.

"Why is the mayor of Penang so idle?" Lu Chen asked while shaking his hands.

"The University of Penang is the best school in Penang, and it can be ranked well in the whole country. I heard that." Li Mulan suppressed her voice again, "Not only the mayor, but also several big leaders came here. .But I’m just hearing it, so don’t talk about it.”

"Several big leaders?" Lu Chen's hairs were about to fly, "Who are they? Why are they here?"

"Hmm... I don't know. It seems that something happened to be held in Penang today. Some of the leaders came from the University of Penang. Once they discussed it, they all came here when they had nothing to do." Li Mulan spread her hands .

Lu Chen stared at Li Mulan dumbfounded for a long time, "How do you know everything?"

Li Mulan smiled at him mysteriously, "Hmph, gossip."

The corner of Lu Chen's mouth was cracked, it seems that there is no shortage of gossips anywhere.It's true that the Tao is one foot tall, and the devil is one foot high.

Sure enough, it took almost an hour until all the teachers and students sat in.

Lu Chen looked at the room full of people, the magnificent stage, and the decoration that was exquisite to the edge of the curtain, which further confirmed the arrogance of Penang University.Among other things, at least it looks very dignified.

Lu Chen leaned his head over and asked Mr. Li, the school gossip king, "Hey, Mr. Li, isn't this school celebrating its 60th anniversary? Why are the equipment so new?"

Li Mulan took a sip of water, as if planning to have a long talk.

"It is said that there was an accident ten years ago, and the buildings collapsed. It may have been blown by a strong wind, or it may have been an earthquake. You also know that Penang is almost surrounded by the sea, and the wind blows every year. It is next to the sea, and the wind blows the sun. There is a lot of humidity, and it is normal for the house to be seriously aging. Since then, the school has attached great importance to this aspect, and has to write a report every year for inspection.”

"Oh... Where did you hear about this kind of thing that will affect the enrollment rate?"

"Gossip..."

Lu Chen: "..."

This trail is a little tricky.

Sure enough, Mr. Li's trail is quite reliable.Five minutes before six o'clock, a few bald old men came in from the main entrance, looking decent with their hands behind their backs.There are college students in formal attire leading the way along the way.

Formal attire is the school uniform of Penang University, and I don’t wear it once every year.Today's grand event, the host and a few students who don't know what to do are all dressed.Lu Chen thought to himself, the school uniform of Penang University is really pretty. The dark blue uniform sets off the young and immature face, showing some contrasting beauty. ... I don't know if Shen Yi wears it or not.He subconsciously looked for Shen Yi's figure.But the drama club's work seems to be the finale, and Shen Yi won't be able to come out for a while.

The headmaster came to the stage, not serious, but with a polite and bookish air.Lu Chen privately thinks that this doesn't look like an official, and he thinks the scheming of an official should be deeper.However, people should not be judged by their appearance, and he still doesn't have the ability to see people's hearts at a glance.

The principal said a few words. They all knew that this kind of boring speech was the most boring, and what everyone was looking forward to was the main course later.

There are not many teachers who can catch up with the 60th anniversary of the entry. Not much to say, everyone is a short-sounding 500-word guarantee and greeting.It's the same for Lu Chen, Shen Yi's manuscript is very decent, there is not a word "out of line", honest and serious.

After Lu Chen finished reading, he carefully folded up the manuscript and put it in his pocket.Facing the perfunctory applause, he returned to his seat.

Those big leaders were also very sensible and didn't say a word. They just stood up and nodded to the audience following the host's introduction.

The first show is a very traditional singing show, anyway, the most important thing is to get the atmosphere up first.

Then there are dances, cross talks, sketches... These kinds of things went around a few times, and finally came to the drama.

Lu Chen's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the announcement. He immediately sat up straight, his eyes wandered around the stage, and then turned around the command area in front of the stage and on both sides of the stage.

What about Shen Yi?Isn't he the screenwriter and producer? Why isn't he here?

Lu Chen subconsciously asked Li Mulan, as if he really regarded her as a know-it-all.

"Why isn't Shen Yi here?"

"...I really don't know about this." Li Mulan also searched around for Shen Yi, "Supposedly he should be watching from the sidelines. But it's not necessary, if the drama is well organized and the actors are reliable If so, you don’t have to be here.”

"Oh..." Lu Chen replied uncertainly.Shen Yi is not someone who has lost the chain, besides there are so many big leaders around today.Even if he puts 1 hearts at ease, he won't let it go for no reason.

Lu Chen looked at the dark people behind him. The people in Penang are very civilized and moral, and the civilized spirit exudes from the large crowd behind them, but they are not noisy or moving around.Although Lu Chen has been domesticated for a few days, he still feels like a rat shit.He thought to himself, you must not let me go to the bathroom.I go to the toilet and leave my seat, you can't say I'm immoral and uncivilized, right?

Lu Chen looked back several times, trying to find someone who couldn't sit still like himself.

The play was almost over, but there was still no sign of Shen Yi.Lu Chen couldn't sit still anymore, "Mr. Li, I won't have anything to do with you."

Teacher Li shook his head.

Lu Chen bent down and ran.

Lu Chen walked around behind the scenes through the side door and stopped a student in uniform, "Hey, classmate, do you know where Shen Yi has gone?"

"Oh, he left early in the morning. He said he was a little unwell, so he left after a few instructions."The boy's voice was clear and clear.

"Not feeling well? You left early in the morning?"

The boy nodded immaturely.

"Okay, thank you." Lu Chen was a little flustered.

When it comes to feeling unwell, the first place that comes to mind is the bathroom.Because most people suddenly feel uncomfortable, either have diarrhea or vomit.

Lu Chen knocked on the door one by one in the bathroom, and all the responses were unfamiliar voices.

Could it be that he couldn't bear it and went to the infirmary?

Lu Chen was about to run over, but his mouth was covered with hands behind him.

Damn, robbery in broad daylight?This scene was too dramatic, and I was inexplicably excited.

Those hands with slender knuckles were clearly still a little cold.

Yo, it's so pretty.

In the next second, Lu Chen was pulled into a thin embrace, and a familiar smell permeated the air.

Shen Yi? !

Lu Chen looked back at him.

"Come with me, don't talk."

Lu Chen, whose mouth was covered, nodded.Don't say it, it's quite appropriate.

Shen Yi let go of him, and dragged Lu Chen to the basketball court.

There was no one on the basketball court, it was already dark, and the lights were dim.It has been 10 minutes since Lu Chen sat on the bench next to Shen Yi, and Shen Yi hasn't said a word until now.Lu Chen could only sit on the chair and let go of his thoughts.If Shen Yi didn't want to say it, he wouldn't force him to ask.

He has been so cautious since he was a child, and loneliness is planted in his bones, and no one can make him tell the whole story.Forcing questions to break into his inner world can only be counterproductive.He believed that Shen Yi would figure out what he was facing by himself, and he had this ability.And all he had to do was stay by his side.

An hour passed, and Lu Chen had already written the outline of a novel in his mind.Shen Yi suddenly leaned on his shoulder, as if a little tired.

Lu Chen put the hat on for him and zipped it up.If there was another quilt, he might just let Shen Yi sleep here for a while.

It wasn't until Lu Chen's shoulders became a little stiff that Shen Yi said in a low voice, "I want to go home."

"Well. Shall I carry you?"

Shen Yi fastened the button of the hat, and wrapped himself up tightly.Stretch two arms, a bit like a spoiled child.

"Ah."

Lu Chen squatted on the ground with a smile, picked him up steadily, and lifted him up again.Only then did he walk away slowly.

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

"...Why didn't you ask me why I left?"

Lu Chen froze for a moment, the heart-piercing pain seemed to come back again, it was still there yesterday.

"As long as you don't run away again, I'm fine. I'm just afraid... I'm afraid you won't think about it."

Shen Yi's arms around his neck tightened a little.

"A person appeared that I couldn't face and couldn't afford to offend."

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, can't afford to offend? "Which big leader came today?"

"……Um."

Lu Chen didn't guess any further. First, he couldn't figure it out, and second, he didn't know where Shen Yi's bottom line was.But he is now certain that something must have happened suddenly that year.Shen Yi was young and ignorant back then, and didn't know how to deal with it, so he chose to escape in a panic.Almost left him forever.

"Where did you go after you left? The university you entered in the second year, what about the first year?" Lu Chen suppressed all his thoughts and tried his best to keep his tone steady.

"It is said in the book that you can travel thousands of miles after reading thousands of books. I wanted to make my layout bigger, so I went out for a walk. But it doesn't seem to be much bigger."

"No, you are much better now than before. Maybe it has something to do with the experience of that year. If I had known, I would have taken you around every day. It would also save you from running away by yourself."

Shen Yi smiled silently behind Lu Chen's back, and the breath that came out hit Lu Chen's neck, making him a little itchy.
