Chapter 6: Knowing it like the back of your hand (Part 1)

Early in the morning. Trees stood on both sides of the road, and the asphalt road was mottled with light and shadow. The sound of cars on the road was still sparse, and people seemed to be separated by a thin film, and even the sound became blurred and difficult to distinguish.

The first hour after the sun rises is a treasure bestowed by the world to mankind. It is peaceful and tranquil, allowing Lu Li to experience the leisure of going down the Nanshan Mountain. Carrying his schoolbag, Lu Li inexplicably remembered a nursery rhyme:

“The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me~ the birds are saying, early, early, why are you carrying a bomb~”

The school is a besieged city, the people inside want to get out early, and the people outside want to go back inside. It is difficult to say what Lu Li’s current state of mind is. He just thinks that it is not necessarily a bad thing to put aside the distant future for the time being and enjoy life in the moment. What made Lu Li break away from this free and easy state of mind was a black luxury car.

This black car is not expensive in Chuanhai, but its advantage is that it is moderate and classy, ​​and it is the favorite model of local dignitaries.

The car stopped on the side of the road, and the window was rolled down, and the class monitor Chu Jingyi waved excitedly: “Student Lu Li, get in the car, it’s just on the way.” It turned out to be Chu Jingyi’s private car. The girl was obviously not as reserved as usual, her face was pink, and she urged Lu Li eagerly, as if she was afraid that he would not get in the car.

If he was alone with Chu Jingyi, Lu Li would not feel embarrassed. But when he saw a refined middle-aged man in the driver’s seat smiling at him, he subconsciously felt his stomach twitch, as if overnight wine was about to flow out of his ear holes. He shook his head, making sure that he was still a student and not a businessman going out for social events.

The middle-aged man smiled very gently, and his eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled, giving people the impression that he was easy to talk to.

“This is my father.” Chu Jingyi introduced shyly. She rarely told her classmates about her family situation. “He took us to school on the way.”

“Hello, Uncle Chu.” Lu Li looked very well-behaved. At the signal of Chu Jingyi’s father, he sat in the back seat, but only sat halfway, indicating that he was not calm inside.

The car started slowly. Lu Li held his chin and looked at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought. Chu Jingyi seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she wanted to say something to Lu Li, but she was concerned about her family being present. Her anxious look was obvious.

Uncle Chu smiled playfully: “Lu Li, classmate? Can I call you Xiao Lu directly?” His tone was friendly and his attitude was easy, and there was nothing wrong with it.

“Xiao Lu, are you and Jingyi in the same class this year? Haha, Jingyi was praising you all the time yesterday, and I took this road to meet you, Xiao Lu.”

His frankness made Lu Li a little stunned, and he looked at Chu Jingyi who turned her face away in surprise. Yesterday, he showed the plot and copy of his game to the monitor, and the girl immediately praised it. Lu Li then realized that she was an avid fan of horror literature - completely different from her quiet and dignified appearance.

Lu Li appropriately showed the shyness of a teenager: “I have only recently become familiar with the monitor.”

“Work hard and strive to go to a good university.”

What does this mean? Encouragement? It sounds like an elder’s encouragement to the younger, but Lu Li keenly tasted some unusual flavors. The other party’s flawless smile left Lu Li’s questions unanswered. The two chatted about some family matters. Chu Jingyi’s father asked, and he answered honestly.
