Embroidered Pillows and Paper Tigers

Li Shi'an has a lot of pocket money on weekdays, and he doesn't like to waste it. He can always take out some money when he needs it. Therefore, on Zhu He's birthday, he picked a good restaurant not far from the school. They also specially chose a private room for Zhu He to celebrate his birthday.

As the most non-existent study committee member in the class at the end of the crane, Zhu He only has good friends with Li Shi'an and Lao Xie. The three of them can come together. In fact, they have more or less similar personalities.

Zhu He is a person with low self-esteem. Lao Xie also has low self-esteem in his heart because of his unsatisfactory body shape. As for Li Shi'an, he chose to be a prison because of family reasons.

However, in Zhu He's eyes, obesity and personality can be changed in just a few months or a few years. In other words, he always felt that it was easy for Lao Xie and Li Shi'an to make changes, but I can't do it myself.

Maybe poverty can be changed, and the image of a man is never tall because of his stature, but poverty and short stature only account for a small part of his inferiority complex. What really makes him hard to let go is that he has a murderer father.

Zhu He was born in the mountains, and he studied later than others. In the third year of junior high school, his father was imprisoned for robbery and homicide, and his mother fell ill, so he had to suspend school for more than a year because of his mother.

He has always been worried about his father's crimes, and he didn't visit his father in prison until the second year of his imprisonment. His father told him that he was wronged.

On that day, Zhu He added one more point to the single goal of being admitted to a good university, that is, he wanted to be admitted to the best law school to reverse the case for his father.

These are the secrets that Zhu He never communicated with outsiders, and also the root cause of his inferiority complex. Thanks to these two friends, although these two goods are often unreliable.

Facing a table of sumptuous dishes, a big cake, and an unopened cell phone, Zhu He had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't want to be okay, but his eyes were red when he thought about it. It felt so good not to be abandoned by this world.

Li Shi'an, who wanted to give Zhu He a small surprise, did not expect to be overly touched, and patted Zhu He on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Zhu He was sobbing and wiping away tears, then pointed to the mobile phone on the table and said, "Thank you, thank you very much, but I can't accept this."

The mobile phone was bought by Li Shi'an and Lao Xie in partnership. After thinking about it for a few days, they couldn't find any suitable gift. Finally, they chose the most practical one. In order to ensure the quality without any psychological burden for Zhu He, they also specially bought it in a good reputation. I picked a cheap one from the famous brand.

"Take it, see how shabby your phone is..." Old Xie accidentally told the truth.

Li Shi'an took a look at Bai Laoxie, then turned to Zhu He and said, "Take it, and I won't give it to you for nothing. I can ask you questions via video after I change my phone, right?"

Shen Yan, who was at the same table as quiet as a chicken, heard this and his ears perked up, and he said to himself, with me here, what video are you watching?

What else did Zhu He want to say? Old Xie thought he was a mother-in-law, so he took the phone and unpacked it, saying, "No refund or exchange if there is no quality problem, just keep it."

Only then did Zhu He reluctantly accept it.

Li Shi'an pointed to the big cake in the middle of the table and said, "Come here, this is the cake that Xueba ordered for you. Let's be happy with Xueba, and put in candles to make a wish."

Shen Yan was dragged here by Li Shi'an today, out of politeness he should bring a gift for Zhu He, but after all he is not familiar with Zhu He, so he chose to bring a cake in the end.

The lights went out, the candles came on, Joo-hyuk made a wish, the lights came on, and the four of them toasted to wish their dreams come true.

Zhu He wiped away his tears again, saying that Li Shi'an and Lao Xie were the most important people in his life besides his parents, and at the same time he didn't forget to thank Shen Yan for coming today.

This scene may seem exaggerated to others, but for some reason Shen Yan can empathize with it.

It was a little late for this meal, and Lao Xie took a taxi to send Zhu He back as Wannian's nanny. Li Shi'an naturally walked with Shen Yan. On the way back, Shen Yan remembered Zhu He crying and suddenly asked Li Shi'an: What school did you go to?"

Li Shi'an didn't know that Xueba was thinking about college entrance exams even when he was walking, so he panicked and said casually: "X is beautiful."

He was talking about Lao Yu’s university, and he used the tone of saying “I want that radish” or “I want that green onion” to the aunt who sells vegetables in the vegetable market. He didn't have the courage to tell Li Qishan at all.

After hearing this, Shen Yan felt secretly happy that X Mei was in the same city as his target university.

A boy's heart is pure and persistent. He has a friend, and he doesn't want to be separated from this friend.But he never thought that even if two Li Shi'an were admitted to the nearby university, they might meet the girl he likes in the university. Even if Li Shi'an is a monk, after those four years of pure heart and few desires, they will still face parting ways, getting married and having children.

Four years is just a short time in life, and even four years is a luxury, but after hearing the answer, Shen Yan was very happy, he even walked and jumped two steps, and could not help but spin twice.

Li Shi'an looked at Shen Yan under the street lamp and seemed to be in a good mood. Student Shen Yan finally tried to get along with others, which is a good thing.

After Zhu He's birthday, Shen Yan joined Li Shi'an's small group by default. Shen Yan didn't know Li Shi'an's professional courses, but as far as the results of the cultural courses were concerned, they were still a long way from the beauty he said.

Shen Yan intends to pay more attention to Li Shi'an's study in all aspects without dead ends. In addition to giving Li Shi'an an extra hour of preview time after finishing homework at night, he also agreed to Li Shi'an's invitation and joined a small WeChat group they built.

However, there will always be a gap between ideals and reality. After he joined, Zhu He would ask questions all day long, while Li Shi'an and Lao Xie would always gossip in it. Whenever Li Shi'an and Lao Xie got carried away chatting, Shen Yan would throw his soul at him With the gaze of torture, Li Shi'an, a monkey, seemed to have entered Wuzhi Mountain of the Tathagata Buddha.

Because Xueba has gained tangible benefits from joining Zhu He, he has since reduced the number of times he went to the office to ask questions to the teacher. Although the original intention of joining the group was for Li Shi'an, he still answered all questions when facing Zhu He's Shen Yan.

To say that Zhu He is really envious of someone like Shen Yan, who has good grades and can easily get admitted to the school of his choice. Relying on face to eat can also beat most people.

Perfect, what is perfection, Zhu He thought, the existence of Shen Yan is probably the best explanation for perfection.

One night, Zhu He inadvertently sighed after asking Shen Yan's questions: [The best of the four of us took the art test. Next year you will transfer to the art test class by yourself. I hope I can ask you questions. 】

Shen Yan had a faint feeling that his words were wrong: [Didn't Shi'an also pass the art test? 】

Zhu He: [Shi'an doesn't take the art test. ] At the end, he joked, 【He is the one who will go back to inherit the family property if he doesn’t study hard. 】

Because of Zhu He's words, Shen Yan didn't sleep well all night, and was waiting for him to go to school outside Li Shi'an's house early the next morning.Li Shi'an looked like he hadn't woken up, staggering and yawning as he walked.

Before he could wake up in time, Shen Yan went downstairs and opened his mouth and asked, "Aren't you going to enter the art test class next year?"

Li Shi'an had long forgotten the nonsense words that Zhu He babbled on the night of Zhu He's birthday, rubbed his head and answered sleepily, "Yeah."

Shen Yan didn't understand that Li Shi'an had the guts to give it a go based on Li Shi'an's shitty grades. He was even more angry when he didn't understand. He was angry that Li Shi'an said that he was going to take the beauty exam that night, but why he refused to admit it. There was a feeling of being deceived and let down. With a questioning tone, he said, "Why?"

"Hobbies, it doesn't have to be related to the future. Besides, I don't put much effort into my studies so my grades are mediocre. You don't know that I was No.1 in our class. Zhu He couldn't compare to me. You say I have such an IQ, if I work hard in the second year of high school, and sprint in the third year of high school, what can be difficult to get me?"

Li Shi'an used this self-embarrassing bragging to cover up his cowardice and dare not pursue the real dream in his heart. After the bragging was over, he realized that his heart was extremely empty.

He found that he was not interested in anything, and he had no motivation to study. It was only the goal Li Qishan set for him to be promoted to twenty.

By this time, he had already woken up from his sleepiness, and the questions that student Shen Yan raised were just so refreshing, and by the way, they could ruin one's mood for the day.Li Shi'an took a few steps forward, and suddenly found that Shen Yan hadn't followed.

"What's wrong?" he asked back.

"Didn't you say that you want to take the beauty exam?" Shen Yan stood motionless at the same spot, and unconsciously raised his voice.

Li Shi'an mentioned earlier that school matters were bothersome. I don't know why he was so serious: "Wanting and being able are two different things. I still want to be the richest man in the world. Isn't that just a casual talk?"

Shen Yan was as if someone had poured cold water on his head. He really thought that Li Shian was about to take the beauty exam, and he was so happy. He deducted the extra hour every night to accompany Li Shian to preview in his sleep, but he actually said it casually. talk about it.

This disappointment is self-evident, as if something has been grasped and slipped through the fingertips.

Shen Yan left Li Shi'an alone and walked forward without saying a word.

"Hello." Li Shi'an didn't know where he offended this ancestor again, so he quickly grabbed his schoolbag to ask what happened.

"Don't pull me!" Shen Yan angrily pulled back his schoolbag and threw Li Shi'an away, because the movement was too big, the schoolbag fell on Li Shi'an's head, and his forehead turned red instantly.

Both of them froze for a moment, Shen Yan held his schoolbag and remained motionless, Li Shi'an held his forehead and waited for him to say sorry, but in the end Shen Yan turned and left without saying anything.

Most of the time, Shen Yan is like a cat that loves to blow its hair. A rope can make him furious, and it can be very docile after a good stroke of its back, but this is the first time it bites you and scratches your paw. .

Li Shi'an can bear losing his temper on weekdays, but it's over if he does it. Looking at Shen Yan's back without turning his head, Li Shi'an said with confidence, let's go!If you have the ability, let's stop talking from today on!
