Two days later in the afternoon.

In the huge academic lecture hall, the closing ceremony of the first round of intensive training is being held.

In the middle area, there were 59 members of the training team, and there were many staff members who appeared to be reporters with badges.

At the booth, the elegant and elegant Shanghai brother with an easy-going face and a natural smile talked eloquently through the microphone.

"A lot of people often ask me how you managed to make the Olympiad that a lot of people are afraid of. My answer is generally just two words, interest.

Interest is the best teacher. As long as a person is interested in something, even if he does not need to be urged, he will spontaneously learn and find a more efficient way to learn......"

Lu You sat in the second row of the stage, his waist straight, looking like he was listening carefully, but in fact, his mind had already drifted out of the clouds.

At this time, Tang Wan reached out and pinched Lu You's sleeve, gently pulled it twice, and asked in a low voice: "Lu You, it seems that you are the first place in the training camp, why didn't you go up to speak?" ”

Lu You turned sideways, leaned into Tang Wan's ear and whispered: "The head teacher came to me and asked me if I wanted to be a representative of the training team to go up and say a few words, I told him that I was not interested, so he looked for someone else." ”

"Oh~"

Tang Wan nodded, indicating that she understood.

"If I'm not mistaken, that guy should be second, right?"

Lu You remembered something interesting, the corners of his mouth raised a little arc, and said, "Yes." Yesterday's last exam, hemorrhoids missed an important step, and I didn't remember it until after the exam.

As a result, his score was overtaken by others, and he was directly angry with him, and he couldn't even sleep at night. ”

Tang Wan tilted her head and quietly looked at Zhang Zhichuang's expression next door.

I saw him clasping his hands on his chest, leaning on the back of the chair, staring at the boy on the stage with his eyes on the face, looking like he was going to eat people.

"It can be seen that he is indeed red."

……

Twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

After surviving the long closing ceremony and taking photos with a bunch of unnamed but loud social figures, everyone in the training team was finally able to get out of trouble and return to the hotel to enjoy the big meal prepared for them by the organizers.

I have to say that the activities organized at the national level are generous enough, saying that it is a big meal is really a big meal, seafood, desserts, and special delicacies from all over the country are all available, unlimited supply, you can take what you want to eat, there is no limit at all.

Tang Wan and Qin Xiyue ate happily, running back and forth all over the venue, and every time they left the table, they could bring back a whole plate of food.

Lu You simply didn't bother to move, as a young master, Tang Wan would eat whatever she brought back, anyway, she was not a picky eater.

At this time, Tang Wan had just come back with a plate of salt-and-pepper shrimp, and her butt hadn't even touched the chair, when she saw a new food truck pushing in at the door, she immediately pulled up Qin Xiyue again and ran over happily.

Lu You dragged the pipi shrimp in front of him, skillfully removed the shell, pulled out the shrimp inside, and placed it on Tang Wan's plate.

Zhang Zhichuang observed for a while, and found that all the shrimp meat peeled by Lu You was given to Tang Wan, and there was no piece in his bowl.

"You're too good to Tang Wan, aren't you, why don't you keep one for yourself?"

Lu You finished peeling the last skin shrimp, took out a paper towel to wipe off the remaining salt on his fingertips, and said, "No need, she will send it back to me." ”

"Are you so sure? What if she doesn't give it? ”

Lu You crumpled the paper towel into a ball, stuffed it under the plate and pressed it, and said, "You don't know Tang Wan." There are two obvious ways she likes a person, one is to share and the other is to give back.

She has something good to eat, or something interesting to share with me. And when I am kind to her, she will also give back in the same or similar way.

I'm not a fool, knowing that the other party doesn't have myself in his heart, and I don't ask for anything in return, so I'm not a pure boiling sheep? ”

Zhang Zhichuang realized something and said, "I understand." ”

"What about you? Qin Xiyue will go back tomorrow, what action are you going to take? ”

Zhang Zhichuang's body stiffened, and his expression looked a little uncomfortable.

"I don't understand what you're saying, she's not one of mine, I'll go back when I go back, what action can I take? I still wish she could go back and save me from arguing every day. ”

"Huh!"

Lu You chuckled, somewhat mockingly, and said, "Don't pretend to be confused here, I'm from here, and I don't understand your thoughts?" ”

Zhang Zhichuang was silent for a moment, and said truthfully: "Okay, I admit that I have a little good impression of Qin Xiyue, but I just have a good feeling. I've only known her for a week, and it's far from liking, and there's no way to talk about further development, so don't make a fuss. ”

"Since you have a good feeling, why not interact more before she leaves to enhance the relationship? If you have an idea but don't take the initiative, how can the story develop? ”

Lu You looked into Zhang Zhichuang's eyes and said, "For example, Tang Wan and I, I met her by chance. If I hadn't mustered up the courage to ask her for her contact information, we wouldn't have developed the relationship we have today.

A story, for better or worse, you have to take the first step before it can be developed. What can be accomplished if you are timid. ”

Zhang Zhichuang silently confronted Lu You. After a long time, he let out a long breath and said slowly: "I understand what you said. But, Brother Lu, have you ever thought that you are different from others. ”

Lu You frowned lightly and retorted: "What's the difference?" Isn't it all a face, a head, born from a mother's belly? ”

"Yes, on a biological level, we all belong to the same species. However, human beings are social, and the forms of expression of various traits are good and bad.

Everyone is a face and a head, but your appearance and knowledge are far superior to others, and you can gain a foothold in society with just one of them. As for parents, it is an unbridgeable gap. ”

The corners of Zhang Zhichuang's mouth raised a touch of arc, and there was an inexplicable ease in his smile, like a patient who accepted the fate of his death.

"Brother Lu, how much pocket money do you have in a month?"

Lu You was silent, he probably guessed what Zhang Zhichuang was going to say next, and because of this, he didn't know whether to tell the truth or not.

Seeing that Lu You didn't answer, Zhang Zhichuang didn't ask, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little bigger, and he said to himself: "If you don't say it, I know, it's estimated that it's taller than most white-collar workers sitting in the office, right?"

It was only when I entered the city that my mother decided to give me pocket money, fifty yuan a week, which could only be used for lunch and dinner.

My sister, who is four years older than me and is a junior, only has 800 yuan a month, which is not enough for the lobster we ate two days ago.

What is the concept of 800 a month? Brother Lu, can you imagine it? It means that if my sister doesn't go to work, she can eat at most in college.

I can't buy new clothes, I can't go out with my classmates for entertainment, and even I have to cut out daily necessities from three meals a day.

Last month, when my sister came home for the Chinese New Year, she asked my mom if she could go to graduate school. My dad said yes, he wanted to study, and he could afford it. But my mom refused, for ridiculous and realistic reasons, because I was going to college too.

Although my family is not poor, it is only not poor, and it can't support the tuition and living expenses of two college students, not to mention that I have a younger brother who is in junior high school, and even the cost of my participation in the training team is paid by the school. ”

Lu You interjected and asked, "What's your sister's reaction?" ”

"My sister said very flatly, 'Oh, I see,' as if she had expected it."

Zhang Zhichuang clenched his fists, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by anger from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother Lu, can you feel the powerlessness that drags down your family?"

Lu You still didn't answer. Whether he was in his previous life or in this life, he came from a wealthy family, and he was good enough to empathize with Zhang Zhichuang at all.

Zhang Zhichuang took a deep breath, calmed down the surging emotions little by little, regained his original smile, and continued: "So, do you understand why I don't develop my good feelings into likes?

My parents have exhausted all their strength to provide me with the help of finishing college, and my future, my career, everything needs to be fought for by me.

Brother Lu, I'm not as smart as you, and I don't have a family as generous as you, most of my energy has to be spent fighting for my future, and love is a luxury that has nothing to do with me. ”

Lu You pursed his lips lightly and said, "Future and love can coexist, right?" People ......"

Zhang Zhichuang raised his hand to interrupt Lu You's next words and said, "I don't know what people think, at least I can't take care of my future and love." ”

"You really just gave up?"

"Or else?"

Zhang Zhichuang spread his hands and pretended to be relaxed: "Besides, I just have a little good impression of Qin Xiyue, and when she goes home, this good feeling will easily be eliminated by time and space, and it is not worth mentioning at all." ”

Lu You is still not very reconciled, because of reality, to give up the girl who is excited, it is really not something that a high school student does.

"Aren't you afraid that you will regret it?"

"I also said that my family conditions, even college can barely finish it, why provoke other girls?

Perhaps, Qin Xiyue is not a girl who looks at money, but love is maintained by money. In my case, let alone inviting her to dinner, I don't even have to do the AA system.

Instead of letting her fight with me for an uncertain future, it is better to distance ourselves from the beginning and not interfere with each other. She will meet someone who can give her a stable life, and I can fight for the future without any worries. ”

After listening to Zhang Zhichuang's words, Lu You no longer persuaded that everyone has his own way of life, and there is no need to force others to live as they want.

"If you miss this village, you won't have this store."

"It's fine. The future is more important than love, love is rarer than the future, and I always firmly believe that the right person will wait for me in the future. ”

Lu You and Zhang Zhichuang's chat had just ended, and the two girls also happened to return to their seats with a full plate of oysters.

Tang Wan saw a few shrimp on her plate, and said happily, "You have peeled them for me?" ”

Lu You gently stroked the back of her head and said, "Well, if you're bored, you can peel it, do you like it?" ”

"Like, thank you."

Tang Wan grabbed a few oysters and put them in front of Lu You, and said, "I will help you get the return gift for you, and I will help you get what you want to eat." ”

And Zhang Zhichuang, who was on the other side, stretched out his hand in advance before Qin Xiyue sat down and touched away the four large oysters that had been opened.

"Thank you for helping me get it back, I'm welcome."

Qin Xiyue was so angry that she jumped to her feet and scolded: "Why don't you go and get it yourself if you want to eat it, you have to eat mine?" Give me back the oysters! ”

"No way, who made your oysters tastier?"

Poof!

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Tang Wan hurriedly covered her mouth, and the food scraps that choked into her throat made her unable to stop coughing.

Qin Xiyue asked worriedly, "Wanwan, are you okay?" ”

Tang Wan couldn't speak for a while, so she could only wave her hand again and again, signaling that she was okay and asked her not to worry.

Lu You saw through Tang Wan's crooked thoughts at a glance, patted her back lightly, and explained for her: "Don't care, she was accidentally choked for a while, and she will get better soon." ”
