Zhao Jianing briefly greeted her son, then went upstairs to wash up.

Half an hour later, she came out of the bathroom and went downstairs to get something. She saw that the lights in the living room were all dimmed.

Lu Buyu was sitting on the sofa, hugging his legs and holding a box of tissue while engrossed in watching a movie.

This was a movie that’s a bit old…… 《Mother Love Me Once Again》^[1]My Beloved (1988)— A young psychiatrist finds his Mom after 18 years, who raised him alone with a heart full of love and tears.

Zhao Jianing glanced at her son suspiciously.

What triggered this?

———

At nine o’clock in the evening, when Professor Lu parked his car and walked inside the house, Lu Buyu was still watching TV.

This was a family drama from more than ten years ago, 《Tears Flow Freely》^[2]a drama series launched in 2004. It showed the ups and downs of Ma Xiaoshuang’s life. She lost her husband in middle age and was laid off again from her job, but she did not let it beat her down. … Continue reading.

You can tell it’s a dog blood drama just by the title.

Professor Lu frowned slightly. What’s this? On second thought, forget it, as long as it doesn’t endanger the society, let him be.

He couldn’t figure out what his son was thinking, just like the other party could never figure out higher mathematics.

Lu Wan and Chen Nianqing finished recording the program and had to go back that same day for school.

After discussing with each other, the two booked a ticket for an 8:00 pm flight.

Time was a bit tight, and after having dinner with the other contestants, they rushed to the airport.

It was much more convenient with Haley driving them to the airport.

They came here on Friday, recorded for two days, and flew back immediately on Sunday night, so as not to delay their studies.

Tomorrow was exactly Monday and they could attend their classes as usual.

Apart from being a little tired going back and forth, Lu Wan’s energy could handle it completely.

Half of the graduates of Shangde High School were going to study abroad. Third years do not have much tension and there were still plenty of extracurricular activities.

Chen Nianqing was not in a hurry but Lu Wan wanted to go back soon.

Shangde’s tuition fees were so expensive, every day equates to money! What was the difference between a person who affects her studies and a robber?!

Haley still had two days to go as the exhibition wasn’t over yet.

In fact, he also struggled for a long time whether he should come and send the two of them off to the airport.

He shouldn’t dwell too much about this. It’s a bit abusive.

But he likes to torture himself, so he came here with his buttocks swaying.

Haley sighed. “President Lu, you won a scholarship and your tuition fees were exempted. It doesn’t matter much, why don’t you go after playing for a day?”

Lu Wan: “I earned it through my own hard work. Besides, the school pays me to study, if I don’t go, then aren’t they losing money? It’s not good whether in public or private.”

Chen Nianqing turned his face and said with a smile, “That’s true. I agree.”

Haley: “……”

All right. Top students have more topics to talk about.

He should be under the car, not in it.

Self-abuse was painful and refreshing.

When Lu Wan came home, it was already eleven o’clock in the evening.

In the living room, Lu Buyu was reclining on the sofa and watching TV.

The TV series changed again.

Lu Wan had watched bits and pieces of some episodes before. It was called 《Never Look Back》^[3]A 2010 tv drama about five men in the 1980’s who went to prison and the story of their new life.

Lu Wan didn’t want to disturb the other’s mood and went upstairs directly.

There was also a sitting room on the second floor.

The Lu family’s husband and wife originally thought that their daughter would come back tomorrow, so they were a little surprised when they saw her.

Lu Wan thought for a while and asked, “Lu Buyu…… Is he okay?”

It’s almost midnight but he still hasn’t gone for his beauty sleep.

Zhao Jianing folded her arms. “Actually, I have thought about taking him to see a doctor tomorrow.”

Professor Lu: “Why is he being so dramatic?”

Lu Wan nodded. “Little Sunflower Mother’s class is starting^[4]A slogan of an advertisement for the most comprehensive and professional public welfare platform for children’s health in China built by Sunflower Pharmaceutical in 2007. What to do if the child isn’t sleeping in the middle of the night? If he’s just being naughty, beat him up and he’ll have a good night sleep.”

The couple both laughed.

It was getting late, so they chatted briefly and thinking that Lu Wan had to go to school tomorrow, they all went back to their rooms.

———

In the huge living room on the first floor, Lu Buyu was still watching TV.

He didn’t have any other meaning seeing these today.

Simply because these three dramas were bloody and touching, the director asked him to watch them.

Lu Buyu would be the leading actor in a dog-blood idol drama for his next project. He hadn’t filmed this type of drama for a long time, so he watched some excellent works to find that feeling.

Although he won the best newcomer at the film festival, he didn’t fully break into the film industry, and it’s hard to wait for good roles, so he accepted this TV series.

In Weibo comments last year, fans praised, “Brother Yu is so handsome”.

But can he still read these comments nowadays? It’s all about poking fun at him.

This bunch of fake fans! Completely unreliable!

Never mind. After this TV drama aired, they would realize that he was a top star and not a top comedian!

Deeply recognized their mistake! Conduct self-examination.

Not to mention anything else, his fans scissor hands used to cut such cool clips.

Now what? It’s all funny videos of him!! It also got out of the fandom and was everywhere, making many new fans enter the circle.

Lu Buyu was furious. This year’s fans were really difficult to accept.

After watching another episode, Lu Buyu went to bed in a huff. After all, that guy Lu Wan finally came back. He had to exercise early tomorrow and had to rest well.

———

Zhao Jianing was drinking coffee when she heard noises on the second floor.

Looking up, she saw the brother and sister running out one after the other.

It was like this every day and it was no surprise to her.

Lu Buyu looked back while running. He confirmed that Lu Wan and he were separated by a safe distance and she wouldn’t be able to catch up before she goes to school. He was relieved.

What he enjoyed was the feeling that death was always with him. Today’s exercise was very successful and he had enough for the morning.

After Lu Wan left the house, Lu Buyu returned home swaggeringly.

Zhao Jianing: “……”

She was a bit conflicted. On the one hand, she felt that her son’s fans had to support him.

On the other hand, was it honestly fine to be a fan of this childish guy???

“President Zhao, this is today’s itinerary.” The assistant on the side handed over the tablet.

Zhao Jianing glanced. “Oh, by the way, are we going to sign a contract with that Ruiyao Building Materials Company?”

“Yes.” The assistant confirmed after checking.

At the same time, he was a little curious. For a contract of this level, President Zhao doesn’t need to look it over personally, right?

Zhao Jianing said in a light voice, “Don’t sign the contract with the other party for the time being. Leave an hour free this afternoon and let the person in charge of the planning to come over. I want to meet them in person and make sure that there is no problem.”

She paused, then added, “Be sure to emphasize that I want to see the real planner.”

Although the assistant was surprised, he didn’t ask any more questions and nodded. “Understood, I will deal with it.”

Pei Yin was notified that the elders in the family were asking her and her cousin to meet the rumored President Zhao.

She was very surprised. Could it be that that Elder Sister spoke for her in private?

Her uncle^[5]father’s elder brother told her that if President Zhao asked, she must say that she was just an assistant, and her cousin was the one who made the plan.

“What do this mean? The cooperation will not fall though, right?” Pei Qian asked uneasily.

Pei Yin: “……I don’t think so.”

“That’s good.”

Pei Yin didn’t say anything. No matter what, since the opportunity had presented itself, she would definitely fight for it.
