Volume 1 The Bastard of the Slums Chapter 41 Warmth
"The recruitment of new students from Qingyuan University, a famous university in the empire, has officially started in the enrollment season, according to the current statistics in the college, as of today, tens of thousands of students from different regions have filled in the admission application, and the recruitment work will be carried out steadily......
Lin Hai obviously knew what the news in front of him represented.
In 2013, the enrollment season of the Great Eagle Empire, located in the first domain of the universe, has arrived at this moment.
Seeing this news and the dazzling words of Qingyuan University, Lin Hai was silent for a moment, and finally downloaded a form, filled it out and handed it out. Closing the connection, he climbed out of the simulation cabin, rubbed Rhubarb's head, left the villa, and ran back to the Lin manor along the boulevard.
Entering the manor, Li An had already counted the time and waited, handed him a towel, Lin Hai wiped the sweat stains on his face, and went to the restaurant to eat. On today's table, in addition to Ning Qing, there is also Lin Wei, who rarely returns to the manor recently because of his busy business.
In the past, when Lin Wei was at home, he was a kind of coercion on the entire manor, even if it was a little gentleman like Lin Hao, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in the manor, and he was even more docile at the dining table like an imperial shorthair cat.
Now that Lin Hao and Lin Wei are not in the manor, Lin Hai eats with Lin Wei most of the time, and he can also feel that kind of coercion. It's just that the two don't speak most of the time, and the occasional communication is limited to Lin Wei's future arrangements for Lin Hai, such as Granite University, such as the foundation for his further study, and the marriage with the Tennessee family arranged for him.
It's just that Lin Wei gradually stopped mentioning this matter, and Lin Hai understood when he thought about it that his appearance at the Columbia Festival probably made the Tian family retreat somewhat.
Lin Hai could naturally think of Tian Xiaotian's silence at the end of the banquet, and the moment he left in the car after the banquet, the look that seemed to temporarily unload the suppressed and deeply relieved.
He was born and raised in a place like Haizhou Xing, and it would be a kind of pressure and pain to think that any girl who was born in the upper echelons was forced to marry him because of the family business.
Tian Xiaotian's behavior may also be an act of self-protection, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. It's normal, it's realistic, isn't it.
Lin Hai smiled slightly bitterly.
Probably seeing his sudden smile, Lin Wei, who had been eating silently, glanced at him with a strange expression, then wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "I heard that you have been going out before dawn recently, and you didn't come back until the evening." ”
Lin Hai was stunned, then nodded. He didn't plan to hide it from people in this regard, and even when he went to Jiang Zhi's villa, he didn't hide it. If the family asks, he is also a reasonable acquaintance of Jiang Lao, and helps guard the house when he leaves home. This is not a secret of the invisible people, even if Lin Wei sends someone to investigate him, it doesn't matter.
Of course, as for the experience of him and Jiang Lao going to the capital star, as well as these things in Jiang Zhi's underground space, they naturally belong to Jiang Zhi's personal privacy, and he has no right to divulge it.
"I heard Donnahai say that you went out for a morning run and exercised, and it went on until the afternoon? How to solve the problem of lunch? ”
Lin Hai paused for a moment and responded, "Ang Lee has prepared a portable food box for me, which contains warm meals. ”
"Ang Lee......" Lin Wei seemed to be recalling who this was, remembering that it was the steward sent by Lin Hai to assist him in his life, so he nodded and glanced at Lin Hai, "It's not a bad thing to go out for a walk occasionally, you don't have anything to do at the moment, and you won't be stuffy in this house for long." But don't go out too often...... Moderation should be stopped. ”
These words of majesty and admonition showed Lin Wei's attitude and will.
Lin Wei can tolerate Lin Hai's outing, but there is also a limit, at least not to let the people in the nearby Huanxing District 2 poke his backbone and say that he doesn't care about business all day long. Although the people in the 2nd district of the ring star are now familiar with the illegitimate son of the Lin family, who grew up in the garbage star, no one thinks that he can do great things in the eyes of ordinary people as he was born in the slums.
Lin Hai frowned, he now felt a little sympathetic to his younger brother Lin Haolai, thinking that if he had been living in a family environment like Lin Wei's majesty and oppression, and had been depressed for a long time, it seemed understandable that Xìng Ge had become obedient.
In the face of Lin Wei's majesty, Lin Hai naturally couldn't show any resistance or any dissatisfaction, he nodded, wiped his mouth with a napkin, then put it on the table, got up and said, "Got it." Finished eating...... I'll go first. ”
Lin Wei didn't say anything, just watched Lin Hai get up and leave, and after a moment, he said, "During this time, your exercise ...... It still seems to be working...... At least you're a little more robust than when you first arrived a few months ago...... Not so skinny. ”
"Dang!" With the sound of a teacup resting crisply on the plate, Ning Qing's hand trembled, his eyes widened, and he looked at the majestic earl beside him with some surprise and amazement.
In my impression, how could Lin Wei say such caring words? Because if you don't remember what a person looked like four months ago, how can you know if he is in a state of reduction or prosperity now? But you must know that during this period, Lin Wei was dealing with the business of Wayne Company, and rarely appeared in the manor, and even when he came back, he never seemed to be looking at the illegitimate child he brought back from the garbage star. It was as if he had been forgotten and would still be forgotten.
Lin Wei coughed dryly, which made Tang Nahai and Ning Qing, who were stunned, come back to their senses in a hurry.
Lin Hai's figure as he turned away visibly froze, he carried his earl father behind his back, nodded, and left the dining room as if still in line with the family's indifference and detachment.
However, the moment he walked out of the restaurant, facing the suddenly clear sky, the corners of Lin Hai's mouth curved slightly...... It seems that his father, the earl, still has a little warmth under his cold and majestic appearance......
**************
For the next few days, Lin Hai did not go to Jiang Zhi's villa.
He was idle and took a walk in the garden of the manor with Ang Lee, when Lin Hai suddenly asked this loyal and steward friend, "Which is better, the fate of the arrangement or the unknown future?" ”
Li An was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "I can't answer your question, because even my fate, I can't control it, I can only compromise and cooperate, in the hope that in some kind of course, it will guide in the direction I want." In fact, I was never the captain of my own destiny, just a passenger who went with the flow. ”
Li An was a little sad, in fact, in other words, Lin Hai in front of him was not the same as him, although he was born in a noble family, he was a person who could not control his own destiny.
"Qingyuan Academy, is it good?" Lin Hai frowned, "...... Is Granite University, compared to it, really bad? ”
Li An, who has always been shrewd, was rarely silent, he subconsciously felt that Lin Hai was inferior, after all, at the banquet on Columbia's Day, it was revealed that he had entered Granite University in front of so many people, and naturally everyone could see the sarcastic expressions of those people around him who had nothing to do with envy and blessings.
Li An was silent for a moment and said, "...... At least in this empire, a top two hundred academy is still an unattainable goal for many. For example, in my opinion, Granite University is already a college that is not much different from the famous Jiangche University where I graduated. Of course, it can't be compared with the top schools in the empire, but in fact, it is already a very good college in the eyes of ordinary people. However, because you were born in the Earl's House, those people may be a little harsh in their opinions and demands of you.
He paused, "This may mean that the so-called commoners do not suffer because they did not become emperors, and only deposed emperors will suffer because they are commoners." ”
Lin Hai's eyes looked into the distance slightly, "Imperial famous school, is it really so unattainable?" ”
Li An looked at him like a fantasy and said, "Every child in the empire has a desire in his childhood to be more or less to enter those prestigious schools, become a brilliant leader in some way, become a scientist, become a mecha master, and explore those endless starry skies...... I have had such a goal since I was a child, but from the first time I set foot in school, I could only enter an ordinary school because of family reasons, and if I couldn't be among the best in such a school, I could only be beaten into the middle class, and then enter the next middle school, and I was constantly washed down in the middle of the pyramid of fate, and finally entered a middle college, and I couldn't really get in touch with the top college, so in the end, I couldn't become a successful person with a good salary. ”
"You ask me if the Empire's elite schools are out of reach? Actually, it's really not that far away. For those great noble families, the heirs have the innate resources to study in the best schools, and instill advanced ideas and superior knowledge under the tutoring of the best tutors. If the family context is developed, it is not difficult to use some energy from all aspects to send children to prestigious schools in the empire, but this kind of ability can only appear in those big families in the empire, and our Xinglin family on the riverside does not have so much energy and face...... However, the number of applicants to those prestigious universities in the empire is tens of millions every year, but less than 1 in 10,000 are admitted, so you can see how prohibitive the cruelty is. ”
Lin Hai nodded, and then asked, "You say, can I enter Qingyuan Academy?" ”
Ang Lee stared at him for a moment, and then laughed like a fantasy.
Lin Hai also smiled.
When the two of them laughed heartlessly, Lin Hai put one hand on the page of an open book beside him, which was a famous imperial poetry collection "In the Field of Hope".
There is a sentence drawn in red on it.
"Ordinary people obey fate, and only the strong are their own masters."
