Li Zhibai drove and took Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
In the car, Li Zhibai told Yan Liang about how Lu Yanhe almost drowned in the river as if it were some curious news.
Yan Liang looked at Lu Yanhe in shock.
"Is this the reason you didn't come home last night?" he said in shock. "I thought you went back to your uncle's house to celebrate your birthday."
Lu Yanhe: "Don't tell anyone else about this."
"Does Brother Ping An know?"
"I see. He was the one who brought me back yesterday."
"I thought so. I called him early this morning and he was swearing and in a bad mood. Turns out he didn't sleep well last night." Li Zhibai chuckled, "I thought he was going through menopause."
Yan Liang: "Why did you call him so early in the morning? Are you just trying to steal the Supernova Games?"
"Are you crazy? I told you this has nothing to do with me, yet you're still talking about it." Li Zhibai was speechless. "I don't even want to be on this crappy show. I'm running around and sweating."
Yan Liang said, "Then go talk to Zhou Ping'an and ask him to give me back the opportunity to participate in this program."
Li Zhibai: "Why? He gave me this opportunity, and I'm giving it back to you. Am I crazy enough to do such a good thing?"
That's quite... justified.
Lu Yanhe felt his head was buzzing from the noise of his two teammates.
Too noisy, these two.
"And you said you didn't want to be on this show."
"I won't take the initiative to go, but this opportunity has been given to me, why should I not take it?"
"Oh."
"Hey, sister."
"Your sister!"
…
Lu Yanhe decided to find a topic quickly to end the endless quarrel between the two of them in this cramped space.
"Stop, don't you two have any work today?" he asked.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang finally stopped arguing.
"This is a bullshit job," Li Zhibai said. "Last week, a bunch of Luna's fans accused me of riding on her popularity, scolding me every day in the comments section of my Weibo. Zhou Ping'an told me to stay out of the spotlight for a while, so I haven't had any work this week."
Yan Liang sneered, "Serves you right."
Lu Yanhe was afraid that the two would start arguing again, so he hurriedly asked Yan Liang before Li Zhibai could fight back.
"What about you?"
Yan Liang is the model boy in the Fengzhi group. He is serious and positive. Although his personality is very ordinary in private, he always has the best image in public.
Yan Liang said, "I have to practice dancing this afternoon. I will be recording 'Hello, Life' this Friday, and they have arranged for me to do a dance performance on the show."
Lu Yanhe felt a faint envy in his heart.
He was surprised at his own emotions and couldn't help but feel envious when he heard that others had work arrangements.
Is this the original body's strong obsession?
Yan Liang asked, "Yan He, why are you carrying such a big bag?"
"I'm going to school this afternoon," Lu Yanhe said. "When Brother Ping'an dropped me off yesterday, he suggested I spend more time studying. I think he makes a lot of sense."
Yan Liang and Li Zhi were silent for a moment.
In fact, as Lu Yanhe's teammates, they all felt that Lu Yanhe was not suitable for the entertainment industry because of his average singing, lack of talent and poor family background.
But they never said these words to Lu Yanhe's face.
Although Lu Yanhe never said it directly, almost everyone in Fengzhi group knew that Lu Yanhe longed for the stage and the camera.
Especially as Lu Yanhe's roommates, Yan Liang and Li Zhibai knew how hard this teammate worked.
Unfortunately, some people only need to put in 100% effort to achieve 100% results, while some people can only achieve 10% results with 100% effort.
Lu Yanhe had no intention of letting the atmosphere stagnate with him.
"I've thought it through. If I can get 600 points on the college entrance exam, I'll be a top student," he said. "By then, I'll be the top performer among celebrities, and I won't have to worry about no one paying attention to me."
As Lu Yanhe's classmate at No. 13 Middle School, Yan Liang was very clear about Lu Yanhe's usual academic performance. So, when he heard what Lu Yanhe said, he didn't know whether to encourage him or... encourage him.
"Yan He, you fell into the water yesterday. Did you catch a cold? A fever?" Yan Liang asked.
Otherwise, why would I say something like my brain is on fire?
Lu Yanhe: "Maybe I can even get into Peking University."
"Peking University?" Yan Liang asked doubtfully. "Where is Peking University?"
Only then did Lu Yanhe realize that he had let the cat out of the bag.
In this parallel world, there is no Tsinghua University and Peking University, only Yuming University and Zhenhua University, whose status among domestic universities is equivalent to that of Tsinghua University and Peking University.
He explained: "Uh, that was wrong. I meant, maybe I can get into Yuming or Zhenhua."
Yan Liang said to Li Zhibai with concern, "How about you turn around and we go to the hospital first?"
Li Zhibai also nodded seriously: "I think it's okay."
Lu Yanhe: "...Do you two have to be so exaggerated?"
"After one night, you seem like a different person." Yan Liang said.
"That's because when I was almost dying, I suddenly figured something out," said Lu Yanhe.
"What have you figured out?"
"If I die, there will be nothing left in this world," Lu Yanhe said. "I want to start over again, and it won't be the same as before."
Yan Liang said: "It's a good idea, but people still need to be down-to-earth."
"That's right. If you could get into Yuming or Zhenhua, your uncle wouldn't have sent you to the talent show."
Lu Yanhe said, "Just try your best. Who knows? You still have to have dreams. What if you see a ghost?"
Yan Liang: "...Okay, then you should try your best first."
He and Li Zhibai looked at each other in the driver's seat and the passenger seat, and saw the same surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.
The changes in Lu Yanhe are too great.
Overnight, the person who was self-deprecating, timid and didn't dare to say a word suddenly became what he is now.
It can’t be said that he has become a completely different person, it’s like he suddenly got enlightened, and he became more confident and outgoing.
At least Yan Liang had never joked with Lu Yanhe in the past about “let’s turn around and go to the hospital”.
I dare not open it.
Lu Yanhe used to be too sensitive. He didn’t say anything, but he was bothered in his heart and tended to overthink.
Today... many things are different.
The atmosphere between the three of them was also different.
Li Zhibai parked the car, got out, and put on sunglasses and a mask.
Yan Liang also put on a baseball cap and a mask.
Lu Yanhe, who had no such person, had no worries and got out of the car without any concealment.
"Robbery—he stole my bag—"
A scream suddenly arose.
