Chapter 007: A Heart Full of Longing
However, in universities focused on science and engineering, there are typically more men than women. Setting aside the question of attractiveness, the fact that he is so foresighted and has quickly managed to win over a woman who is willing to be affectionate is at least indicative of a man with strategic vision
The longing for family mingled with familiar faces from the past that appeared in Old Lu's mind, compounded by the guilt from a previous life, creating a blend of joy and anticipation for the upcoming reunion
Old Lu listened to everyone's responses and directly raised his middle finger, shaking it at the crowd of cowards before humming a little tune as he went downstairs
The peak time for late-night snacks must be after 9:30 PM
Moreover, anyone who sees it can tell that this suit is definitely not something that can be purchased for two or three hundred yuan. Although everyone may not have seen many high-end garments, just by looking at the fabric, it is clear to everyone that this clothing is certainly not something from a street vendor
"You can't avoid it? Then why are you still pushing it? Are you stupid? This afternoon, the director said that carrying a disciplinary action will not only affect graduation but also impact the recommendation for further studies," Song Yiqian said to Lu Xianchen.
Zhao Lihui also said: "Don't confront Wu Jiansheng head-on, just admit your mistake later and settle this matter. You don't know that after you left, Director Guan said he would give you a demerit."
Upon pushing the door open, they saw Lu Xiancheng calmly seated on the bench, and both of them couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in their hearts
Well, from now on you can just wear that to meetings. However, considering the situation this afternoon where you talked back to the teacher, the college has decided to give you a warning after discussion, and the notice will be posted tomorrow said Guan Ling as she glanced at Lu Xianchen
"If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself. I guarantee you will be fine after four years!" Lu Xiancheng said confidently
Lu Xiancheng listened, thanked his brothers while laughing, and threw the bag in his hand onto the large table in the dormitory: "What have I carried? Didn't we say not to wear it like this? From now on, I will just wear a suit and tie to the grade meetings. Haven't you seen that I have already bought a suit?"
Old Lu said leisurely: "Did I not mention that I would wear a suit to attend the grade meeting after visiting https://m.hetushu.com? I always keep my word."
Currently, Shicheng is free from smog; when one looks up, they are greeted by a sky full of twinkling stars, which can only be described as beautiful.
Lu Xiancheng's order of fried rice along with tomato and egg soup arrived in just a few minutes. For the school cafeteria, such speed in serving fried rice and stir-fried dishes is quite rare, aside from the large pot meals.
I am a little bird, wanting to fly high, but no matter what, I just cannot soar high, oh... oh... oh!
The eardrums of the group were immediately filled with the voice of Old Lu, reminiscent of a pig being slaughtered
As for why
Fortunately, these two quickly went to the window to place their order; otherwise, Old Lu would have truly had to resort to harsh words. This cafeteria is already not very good, and having to watch such a pair makes it truly hard to swallow
"This... this... Lao Wu, you can't be serious, wearing a suit and tie to the grade meeting is so silly." Zhao Lihui was left somewhat speechless by Lu Xiancheng, and what left everyone even more speechless was seeing that Lu Xianchen had actually bought a full suit.
Hey! Dude, that's awesome
Just as I was about to scold a few times, I suddenly thought to myself, what am I even competing with these fools for? With this thought, the flame of anger that had just risen in my heart was instantly extinguished
The cards were brought up, but it was not yet Old Lu's turn to play. In the game of rock, paper, scissors, Old Lu lost again in the fifth round against the fourth.
Few people
He acknowledged with a sound, indicating that he understood, and then turned around and exited the door
Guan Ling and Wu Jiansheng exchanged a glance, each reading a hint of information from the other's eyes
"Alright, can you sing a single note in tune?" Zhao Lihui shouted at Lu Xiangcheng.
Thus, the two families of the brothers have a very good relationship, living in a small villa, with Lu Xingguo residing on the lower floor and Lu Xinghua's family living on the upper floor
With a cigarette burning in his hand, Lu Xiancheng simply lay down on the cement tiles of the rooftop, indifferent to whether the ground was dirty or not. As he gazed at the sky, he occasionally took a puff, his mind drifting back to memories of home from his past life
Old Lu had not yet finished smoking a cigarette when Wu Jiansheng and Guan Ling appeared together in the dormitory
Lu Xingguo married early, and the couple had always wanted children but had not been able to conceive. It was not until he was forty-two years old that Lu Xiancheng was born. Three years later, Lu Xinghua's family also welcomed a little girl, who is Lu Xiancheng's sister, named Lu Muzhi.
Upon seeing Lu Xiancheng's demeanor, the brothers no longer urged him
What else can you say? They really did buy the suit, and just look at the suit on the table; it is certainly not something that can be settled for just a few hundred yuan.
Old Lu, adhering to the principle of politeness, responded somewhat perfunctorily. However, this individual did not seem to notice and turned to the ugly woman beside him to recount Old Lu's deeds from the afternoon. The ugly woman then looked at Old Lu and covered her mouth, laughing heartily.
Wu Jiansheng glanced at Old Lu and then stepped out the door.
Those without girlfriends watch television; those who neither have girlfriends nor watch television are either playing cards or wandering aimlessly around the campus.
"The arm cannot twist the thigh, Lao Wu, taking a step back opens up a vast sky, do not resist stubbornly," Xu Zhenghe also said
Having said that, he patted the box on the table: "This complete set of clothes has been prepared, just waiting to be used at the next grade meeting!"
"Aren't you supposed to come back to change your clothes?" Wu Jiansheng asked eagerly
Still considering graduate school recommendations? Don't be ridiculous. In this house, six people lived here in the past, and five of them only obtained their diplomas without securing any degrees. They couldn't even manage to pass the English Level 4 exam, so what is there to discuss about whether or not to pursue graduate school recommendations?
After watching for a while, the leader suggested playing cards. As for who would go down to buy them, we had to play rock-paper-scissors once again. In the end, the unfortunate Lao Lu went down to buy two decks of cards
Sun Zi Lu Xiancheng is the apple of the old lady's eye, her treasured possession
In old age, having a child is a blessing; not to mention the grandmother who is overjoyed to hold her grandchild, even the strict father Lu Xingguo cannot maintain his stern demeanor. Throughout his son's upbringing, he has never truly punished him, often just raising his hand to scare him as a formality. Yet, whenever Lu's grandmother sees this, the old lady cannot help but wipe her tears out of compassion.
I have no objections! As long as you are comfortable, that's all that matters," said Old Lu
Song Yiqian said: "The cafeteria is closed now, so you can only go to the late-night snack department. However, before that, I think you should visit the counselor's office; Director Guan has called for you several times."
"When I have time, I'll have the second one write you a letter of commendation, using a big red paper. Then, I'll stick it in the lobby downstairs, just like what they both said!" Old Lu stood up from the bench and walked directly towards the door: "I'm going to eat. If no one wants to go, I'll go by myself. I must say, I'm treating!"
"Old Lu, why have you only just returned? The counselor has been looking for you several times," said Tang Shengsong
This guy almost scared his counselor to death; if a student had gone missing, it would have been impossible to cry out properly. Fortunately, this individual was lucky, as the police intercepted him at the train station and brought him back. Otherwise, this situation would have been a major problem
After finishing dinner, everyone gathered together in the dormitory to watch television
Lu Xiancheng has no interest in ugly women, and is even less attracted to ugly men
The game continued until the lights went out. After Old Lu got into bed, he just couldn't fall asleep. Even after joining the dormitory night chat, which lasted until 1:30, everyone gradually fell asleep. Lu Xiancheng lay wide-eyed, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep.
The two brothers, Lu Xingguo and Lu Xianchen, have an uncle named Lu Xinghua, who is the deputy director of the county public security bureau. Their aunt, Li Fangbing, is the director of the county central primary school
Tang Shengsong followed to the door and watched as the two walked away, one in front and the other behind. Only then did he turn his head and ask, "Old Five, when will the disciplinary record be cleared?"
It is nearly 8 o'clock, and there are still not many people in the late-night canteen. At this hour, those who love to study have gone to self-study, while those with girlfriends are likely in some corner, embracing their girlfriends, both of them exchanging affectionate kisses with drool all over their faces
Do not say that it is time to sleep; even people seem to be more spirited. They waited until dawn, and Old Lu simply returned to the dormitory, picked up a small bag, and set off on the journey home
Song Yiqian directly hit the nail on the head: "Any song that comes out of his mouth seems to be as if it has been newly composed, a new generation Mozart!"
Ignoring the disdain of a few individuals, Old Lu cheerfully rushed towards the Night Changxiao Canteen
In the realm of student affairs, one may encounter all sorts of peculiar students. For instance, last year, a new student, after receiving a few reprimands, left a note for the counselor stating that they would no longer attend university and instead wished to settle in the Inner Mongolian grasslands to live a pastoral life, where the wind blows and the grass bends low, reminiscent of the songs of cattle and sheep.
Pfft! Lu Xiancheng burst into laughter: "The seal on the graduation certificate is that of the principal; they don't count for much. They can indeed have some influence on the recommendation for further studies, but it depends on one's usual performance. However, look at us brothers; who among us is qualified for further studies?"
I am referring to the matter of punishment
Not only was there the excitement of being reborn, but also the thought of returning home tomorrow to see his parents and grandmother. In Old Lu's heart, it felt as if a multitude of spices had been overturned, with sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors all rushing forth.
You guys really dare to think like this! Is this something you should be considering? Old Lu cast a disdainful glance over the faces of the group.
Then Wu Jiansheng thought: What the heck! Why am I arguing with a fool!
However, this confidence naturally has another interpretation in the eyes of the remaining few: a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water
Lu Xiancheng's father, Lu Xingguo, was the deputy director of a textile factory in the county town before his retirement. His mother, Zhang Caixia, was a civil servant in the county government before her retirement. Although the family lived in a small, impoverished county town, they were well-off.
Are we encountering a fool here
Fortunately, Lu Xiancheng was not angry, considering that his luck had been completely used up in this rebirth.
"Wait until I finish eating before we talk" Old Lu took out a cigarette from his pocket, tossed one to the boss, and pulled up a stool to sit down, lighting a cigarette to relax and smoke.
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately silenced both the grade director and the counselor
"What are you talking about?" Lu Xiancheng asked.
Upon seeing Old Lu, although both of their faces maintained a serious expression, they felt considerably more at ease internally
Of course, really, just click anywhere!
In other words, the aunt's profession is that of a teacher, which still holds a degree of restraint over the pampered young Lu. Upon seeing the aunt, there is an innate sense of fear akin to that of a student towards a teacher. It is likely this sense of fear that has prevented the sheltered young Lu from growing astray.
This fellow may not be particularly handsome himself, yet he is able to hold a girl in his arms, even though this girl appears quite unattractive in Lu Xiancheng's eyes
I do not have the audacity to compare myself with someone as impressive as you
Old Lu almost couldn't help but say to the girl: Could you please retract your big yellow front teeth? I'm trying to eat here
After the conference ended, Lu Xianchen's whereabouts became unknown, and this news immediately caused both of them to feel their hearts in their throats
Is everything alright? Zhao Lihui seemed a bit skeptical
Although they are brothers, Lu Xingguo is fourteen years older than Lu Xinghua. Moreover, Lu Xiancheng's grandfather passed away early, so this elder brother, Lu Xingguo, naturally serves as a father figure at home.
In the distant past, memories that I was reluctant to open up surged forth like a rushing river
In the end, there was no other way; Lu Xiancheng could only take a cigarette and head directly to the rooftop on the sixth floor, sitting there while smoking and gazing up at the stars above.
How fortunate that I didn't get my nose bent out of shape by Ling, what do you mean by saying as long as I am comfortable!
As soon as he opened the door, Lu Xiancheng heard his companions chattering away excitedly.
Lu Xiancheng had just eaten half of his meal when he heard someone greeting him. He looked up and saw an unfamiliar person from the same department smiling at him.
"Alright, have you all eaten? I have been busy all afternoon and still haven't had a meal," said Lu Xianchen
Really
