Chapter 107: The Dusty Past (Part II)

The car quickly drove downstairs to Vivian's apartment.

"I won't send you up, in case I bump into your boyfriend, it won't be good." Lu Yichen said quickly, in fact, he even felt that it was very undesirable to send her back. They have long been unrelated, and they should not be disconnected again.

"I don't have a boyfriend, Anthony...... We didn't get in touch anymore. Vivian hung her head like a child making a mistake. Lu Yichen didn't understand why she felt like a different person when she came back this time, and she was always cautious when she treated herself, and she obviously disliked herself as just a high school student before.

Vivian got out of the car and walked silently to the apartment, Lu Yichen let go of the accelerator and walked away.

However, as soon as he turned over, he parked the car on the side of the road again, and the car flashed.

He didn't expect to see her again today, and he didn't know why he had been restless since he saw her. Lu Yichen originally thought that his wounds had been healed in the past year since he went to China, and even if they met again, he thought that he could be free of waves. But in fact, he was wrong. No matter how calm he pretended to be on the surface, he couldn't deceive himself about the turbulence in his heart.

When did you meet Vivian? Lu Yichen lay on the back of the car, closed his eyes, and once the floodgates of memory were opened, the flood of memories would surge.

When I met Vivian, Lu Yichen was a sophomore in high school, and because his math scores were not very good, his mother contacted him with a tutor, a girl who was a sophomore at Harvard-Vivian.

Lu Yichen actually resisted the matter of making up classes, training every day took up a lot of time, where was there time to do anything, but he could not disobey his mother's holy decree, so he could only be forced to finish training and add three math lessons a week.

The first time he saw Vivian, Lu Yichen felt that he was different from the twittering female high school students he usually saw at school. Vivian was four years older than him and exuded maturity. According to the introduction, the aunt said that Vivian was born in Japan, and immigrated to the United States with her parents when she was five years old, but her parents later broke down and divorced. In the end, she was admitted to Harvard purely by her own efforts, and won a full award. After entering school, she usually earns living expenses by tutoring students from private schools like Lu Yichen.

Because Vivian has a heavy homework load, students usually go to her apartment to take classes, but fortunately, the ice rink is very close to her apartment, and Lu Yichen went directly after practice.

On the day of the first meeting, he had just finished practicing and was sweating, and the sweat on his head had not dried when he walked into Vivian's house.

Because he knew that Vivian was of Japanese descent, Lu Yichen prepared a small burden in advance for her to shake it out on the spot: "Mr., Chu's めまして, 私はEasonです, δ»Šγ‹γ‚‰γ‚ˆγ‚γ—γγŠι‘˜γ„γ—γΎγ™." ”

However, Vivian didn't pay attention to him, and there was obviously a look of "you are very naΓ―ve" in his eyes, but Lu Yichen didn't care much, and the tutor was also a teacher, so it was normal to be serious.

Vivian is very serious in class, every minute of the class is very efficient, and unlike other teachers who just teach on their own, Vivian emphasizes interaction, and it is difficult for Lu Yichen to get distracted. Except for one thing, every time she entered the door and went out, Vivian almost never looked at him directly, and even when solving the problem, it was difficult for Lu Yichen to meet her eyes.

Finally one day, Lu Yichen couldn't help but ask: "I have a question that I have wanted to ask for a long time, am I not handsome enough?" Why do you never look at me? ”

Vivian was stunned by this question, and this was the first time Lu Yichen saw her smile happily. is probably used to seeing her usual serious appearance, and when she smiled, Lu Yichen also became in a better mood.

"What are you thinking about when you don't study well?" Vivian seems to be in a good mood today.

"I'm about to go to college, why am I a child." Lu Yichen protested very dissatisfied, this word hurt his self-esteem very much, okay?

"Study hard, your family has created such good conditions for you, please cherish it." A hint of complexity flashed in Vivian's eyes as she said this. To tell the truth, this kind of tutoring work she comes into contact with is generally children from well-off families like Lu Yichen, watching them grow up in this kind of carefree parental care family, but there are still many people who don't know the blessings, Vivian compares her own life experience, and she doesn't want to admit it - she is envious and even jealous.

Because of this, she never communicates too much with these students, but does her best to do her job well, and does not expect (or should I say disdain) to become friends with them in the future. The difference in her original family makes her very clear that she can't be true friends with these rich second generations. Her task now is to save as much money as possible while juggling her studies. After graduating from her bachelor's degree, she wants to go directly to Harvard's Juris Doctor (Juris Doctor) and pass the bar exam after graduation, so that only people like her have a chance to take the road to winning in life. In addition to her studies and saving money, she did everything else.

The four-year-old difference is probably nothing in Lu Yichen's eyes, many of the big boys in adolescence have the plot of the royal sister, and compared with those babbling little girls, mature and stable women are more attractive. Especially Lu Yichen. The three sisters in the family are all very good, except for Fei'er occasionally bullying her, Xing'er Yue'er has always loved him, and growing up in such an environment, he is really not very interested in girls of the same age. It's not that she hasn't had a little girlfriend, and Lu Yichen's relationship with women has always been very good. It's just that the first few times it feels more like a playhouse, the naivety and occasional "work" of girls of the same age need to be tolerated by mature men, although Lu Yichen doesn't admit it, but he is also a child in the end, fortunately, the dating culture in the United States is relatively free, and it often doesn't take long to talk about it.

Although every time he came to class after playing, he increased his homework burden, but not long after Lu Yichen went to class, he secretly went home and took the initiative to apply with his mother to upgrade the class from three times a week to five times a week. When night falls, Lu Yichen can also come to Vivian happily after playing, he also studies hard, but more, every time he sees Vivian, he always feels inexplicably happy.

He couldn't understand why a young girl like Vivian had made her life so boring, as if she was teaching others other than her own classes, and college life shouldn't be like this. Lu Yichen's classmates are full of infinite yearning when they talk about college life, and college life in the United States can be said to be how exciting and wonderful it is. Brotherhood and sorority will add one plus at will, and the party will be there every day, and when you reach the legal age, you will be even more happy. Although alcohol control is strict, there are still children who can find ways to get alcohol, such as Lu Yichen, whose ice hockey team once celebrated a victory, and finally looted all the local Asian supermarkets under the leadership of Lu Yichen and bought all the rice wine they could buy. Rice wine is also wine!!

In short, Lu Yichen didn't understand Vivian's monotonous lifestyle, and he felt that girls of this age should live more freely.

Later, Lu Yichen's SAT has been passed, and he is a hockey student, and the coaches of several college teams have thrown olive branches to him, and the problem of going to school has been solved. However, he still expressed his willingness to continue to study with his tutor on the grounds that he wanted to learn math well, and his parents had no reason to object, so they let him continue to study with Vivian.

Finally one day, when Lu Yichen went to Vivian's house according to the class time, he found that she was not at home. This is the first time she has been late for so long, Lu Yichen has been waiting silently at her door for a long time, it doesn't matter if the class is not successful, but Vivian is not the kind of person who will miss the appointment for no reason, he is worried that something will happen to her.

After waiting for a long time, I saw a familiar figure, but she was not alone, there was a white man next to her who was intimately supporting her, Lu Yichen knew a little about Vivian's family, and guessed if it would be her stepfather, but the more she looked at it, the more strange it became, this person looked less than 40 years old, and it should not be her stepfather, not to mention how could her stepfather drive a Ferrari? Lu Yichen looked at the parked car behind him, his heart was full of doubts, but the top priority was to make sure Vivian was okay. He rushed straight forward and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The person who was questioned was startled, looked at Lu Yichen, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Lu Yichen blurted out without knowing why: "Her boyfriend." ”

The man looked at Vivian, who was already unconscious, and then at Lu Yichen, he still put down Vivian gentlemanly, handed it to Lu Yichen, and drove away.

Vivian was drunk and unconscious, how much alcohol did she drink? Lu Yichen frowned, and after feeling in Vivian's bag for a long time, he finally found the house key. As soon as she opened the door, Vivian threw up at the entrance door. Lu Yichen didn't dislike it at all, and immediately called Fei'er after helping her to the bathroom and sitting down, and asked Fei'er to arrive quickly. Before Fei'er drove over, Lu Yichen cleaned the entrance, and when Fei'er arrived, she rinsed Vivian and helped her to the bed after changing into clean pajamas, and Fei'er went back first. He didn't need to explain much to Fei'er, they had grown up together since childhood, and he believed that Fei'er understood. Sure enough, Fei'er didn't mention anything when she went home.

After Fei'er left, Lu Yichen accompanied Vivian alone, maybe because she was drunk and uncomfortable, maybe she was unhappy today, Vivian was also crying in her sleep.

Lu Yichen wanted to know who the man who sent her back today was, and it couldn't be his boyfriend, he was sure of that. So who is he? He had a lot of guesses, but no matter which one it was, he had to listen to Vivian tell him himself.

That night, Lu Yichen lied to his parents and said that he was staying at a good friend's house, but he just stayed in front of Vivian's bed all night, and took care of her silently.
