make do

Yan Chen didn't know where he was going, he drove around alone in the pouring rain, and wandered into A without paying attention.

Looking at the familiar school gate, the familiar street, and the familiar school uniform, Yan Chen was in a daze for a moment, and suddenly realized that there seemed to be a shadow of Lu Xuyi in those years that he had desperately forgotten.

Almost forgot, he had known Lu Xuyi since high school.However, at that time, Lu Xuyi probably didn't even know which onion Yan Chen was.

A Middle School is the best private middle school in Kyoto, and its admission rate is also one of the best in Kyoto.Yan Chen's high school entrance examination score is still far from the cut-off mark of A, but this does not mean that he will not be able to get into A.

The biggest difference between private schools and public schools is that if you have money and connections, the school's door will be open to you at any time.The surname Yan asked Yan Chen to go to middle school A, but Yan Chen didn't refuse, because without his help, he was afraid that he would have to dawdle in those third-rate middle schools.

However, this is also the last time Yan Chen accepts surname Yan's help.

Yan Chen has never been a high-profile person, but because he went through the back door, he can only be more low-key.

Speaking of which, he thought that he would not have any contact with Lu Xuyi during the three years of high school. Although Middle A is only a middle school, the students are still divided into those so-called "cliques".But who can predict the future?It's like when Yan Chen met Lu Xuyi for the first time, he never thought that this person would become his pillow.

Lu Xuyi was already in the third year of senior high school at that time, and A middle school was the same as other key high schools. The life of senior high school students was filled with thousands of questions, plus countless big and small tests.

It stands to reason that Lu Xuyi should also be struggling with these problems, but I don't know where Lu Xuyi's energy comes from. The club student union is still present at all major activities, and his academic performance is still at the top of his grade.

Lu Xuyi is not only the chairman of the student union, he is also a member of the standing committee of the club department, and he can be seen in every school event.

At that time, Lu Xuyi was someone else's child in the eyes of parents, a good student in the eyes of teachers, and a god in the eyes of female students.Yes, Lu Xuyi not only has good grades, but also looks good!

Why do you say it looks good?Yan Chen didn't know either, but he only remembered the first time he met Lu Xuyi, a boy in his teens at the time, without those obtrusive gold-rimmed lenses, and his long and narrow peach eyes always contained spring water.The soft hair seemed to be dyed in the warm sunshine that day, dancing with the wind.No blemishes could be found on the fair skin, the corners of the bright red mouth were slightly raised, Yan Chen was taken aback by the polite and friendly smile, his brain was dull for a moment, and he murmured after a long time—"It's so beautiful."

"What?" Lu Xuyi blinked his wet eyes, a look of uneasiness flashed across his face quickly, and he suppressed it quickly, and said with a smile: "Student, do you want to think about it? Our stage play won't cost much. You have too much time, just rehearse every Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon! Your image and us..."

"No." Before Lu Xuyi could finish speaking, Yan Chen interrupted.stage show?Not interested in.

He is very busy every day, he has to go to work every day.This time, the owner of the coffee shop was very kind and allowed him to go there every afternoon after school, and his salary was calculated by the hour.In this way, he will soon be able to save up to his freshman tuition.

Although the surname Yan would send him a considerable amount of money every month, he really didn't want to use that person's penny anymore.

Lin Jing will also give him money, but she has her own family after all. I heard that she is pregnant recently?It seems that I have to visit her after a while, and buy some supplements by the way.Lin Jing is already in her 30s. Although the technology is advanced now, it cannot change the fact that she is an advanced mother.

In ancient times, when a woman gave birth, it was said that she walked through the gate of hell, so why not now?

I still have to study hard, because the foundation of junior high school is not very solid, and it is a bit difficult to study in high school.Fortunately, Mu Qing often came to give her tutoring, so she didn't miss too many lessons.When I was in the third year of high school, I was afraid that I would not have time to work part-time. Taking advantage of the extra time in the second year of high school, I wanted to save more money.

Working and studying almost took up all of Yan Chen's time at that time, so how could he have time to act in that stage play?

"Uh... classmate, can you think about it again?" Lu Xuyi said with a smile, as if he didn't care about Yan Chen's indifferent tone.

By the way, Lu Xuyi at that time still liked to laugh.

The long and narrow peach eyes are narrowed into a slit, and the corner of the mouth is raised just right, revealing eight neat teeth, and there is a small whirlpool under the left corner of the mouth.

Yan Chen also had doubts about whether Lu Xuyi had participated in some kind of practice of biting chopsticks. After they got married, Yan Chen had asked Lu Xuyi more than once. Let it go.

What I have to say is that Lu Xuyi had a really nice smile at that time.The sun won't be too warm in winter, but Lu Xuyi's bright smile is like the warm sun, which has left a deep imprint on Yan Chen's mind, so that the warmth has not diminished even after all these years.

Well, at that time Lu Xuyi also liked to laugh.

Nine times out of ten, when Yan Chen saw Lu Xuyi, he could see the upward curve of his mouth.But why can't I see that smile again after getting married?

After getting married, Lu Xuyi would also laugh, but it seemed that something fixed the upward curve of his mouth.Only the corners of his slightly raised mouth can be seen, and the eight naturally exposed teeth can no longer be seen.

"Don't think about it." At that time, Yan Chen only had money in his eyes except making money, and everything that had nothing to do with making money could not attract his attention.Yan Chen was busy going to the coffee shop. Before he left, he didn't even look at Lu Xuyi in front of him. Naturally, he didn't see the bitterness under Lu Xuyi's smile.

Since that time, Lu Xuyi has never looked for Yan Chen again, and Yan Chen has no time to pay attention to who is finally found as an actor in an unknown stage play.

Yan Chen was still able to meet Lu Xuyi at school.

It may be the tree-lined road with the slanting sun in the afternoon, or a quick encounter in the library, or a chance glimpse of the playground cafeteria.

The two never saw each other again, Yan Chen was busy making money and studying, Lu Xuyi was busy with the student union and the college entrance examination.

That not-so-pleasant conversation became the only conversation the two had in high school.

Subsequently, Lu Xuyi's college entrance examination ended.Yan Chen vaguely remembered that Lu Xuyi seemed to be the number one scholar in liberal arts back then, and just when everyone thought he would go to Beijing University to report, he left the country.

Yan Chen knew that this news was mentioned by Mu Qing and him by chance.

"Why do you need the college entrance examination if you are going abroad in the first place?" Yan Chen was curious.

"Who knows!" Mu Qing spread her hands and sighed.

Yan Chen flipped through the exercise book in his hand, rubbed his aching temples, and asked, "Aside from finance, what other industries can make money quickly?"

"Huh?" The topic was suddenly changed, Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, then thought seriously for a while, and said, "Go and become a star!"

"Star?" Yan Chen was curious.

"That's right! You don't look uglier than those stars on TV, why don't you become a star? The job is easy and the money is quick!" Mu Qing laughed.

It's very hot in summer, even if the electric fan blows on people, it still can't blow the heat out of the room.

Mu Qing who said these words did not expect that Yan Chen would really take this path in the end, and Yan Chen who heard these words did not expect that he would take this path.

In his third year of high school, besides studying, Yan Chen resigned from all his part-time jobs and devoted himself to the mountains and seas.He has already saved enough tuition and living expenses for the third year of high school and one year of college, and now he can devote all his mind to studying.

Then when did he take the art test?It seems that when I checked the information one day, I clicked carefully and opened a new post about the annual income of domestic actors.

As soon as his mind got hot, Yan Chen went.

He now also remembers the impromptu topic during the interview back then - the father's cheating was discovered by the mother, and he acted out your reaction from the quarrel between the two to the divorce.

When hearing this topic, Yan Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

Therefore, when he finally passed the art test, he did not act surprised.On the contrary, Mu Qing was stunned for a long time before yelling: "Yan Chen, you are going too far! You didn't tell me about the art test!"

"You said you want to go to the art test with me? Will your parents agree?" Yan Chen said lightly.

Mu Qing was flabbergasted, and curled her lips aggrieved: "Then you have to tell me in advance!"

"It's not that I can't see you anymore, it's just that it's not the same university." Yan Chen closed the math workbook, picked out a test paper and started writing again.

"Then I volunteer to fill in next door to Beijing Opera!" Mu Qing quickly made up her mind.

Yan Chen didn't raise his head: "It's up to you."

After passing the art test, Yan Chen can breathe a sigh of relief, but the more important thing is the culture class. If the culture class doesn't reach the mark, what's the use of passing it?

In the days that followed, only day and night study remained in Yan Chen's world.

He thought everything would run according to the established track, but something unexpected happened.

Yan Chen's half-brother who was only a few months old died.
