Lu Yan refused the invitation of Patuo to endorse, and also politely informed them that they would not change their minds easily, hoping that they could look for better candidates again.

Susan insisted on letting Lu Yan think about it, and offered her a fairly generous salary.

This made Xu Panyang and the others burn with jealousy and felt extremely uncomfortable.

You know, the advertising expenses for one endorsement of Bardot are more than the combined expenses of several advertisements she endorsed in the past.

However, after Lu Yan heard the salary amount, she didn't even blink her eyes.

So for her, money is not the most important thing, time is.

Later, when she left, Ofina said to Susan: "It looks like she is out of play. She has a very determined attitude and has no interest in the salary we offer."

Susan smiled and said calmly, "I will give her three months to think about it, but don't make any conclusions now."

"Do you think she will change her mind?"

"Anyone has a time to change their minds."

"Susan, the conditions of this girl are indeed very good, but she is not irreplaceable, why must it be her?"

Susan turned to look at Ofina, and said confidently: "She is the one and only one. I will not only sign her, but I will also sign her for a long time. The future of this girl... is unlimited."

...

In the first semester of the freshman year, Lu Yan started to encourage her to lose weight.

She was deeply stimulated by the slender and slender girls in the school.

Nancheng Communication University is an art college. Most of the girls here will make their debut in the entertainment industry in the future. They are especially strict with their bodies. Most of the girls in the school are... definitely hangers. son.

Lu Yan is a gluttonous cat. In the past, she never deliberately tabooed or lost weight. She would go out with Lu Zhen from time to time to have a barbecue on skewers. So compared to the skinny and pale girls around her, her face should be fuller and more rounded. With healthy blood.

Now that she has embarked on this path, Lu Yan certainly knows the importance of managing her figure, so no matter how Jian Yao tempts her every night, she resolutely controls her appetite and never eats too much.

In the evening, Shen Kui took Lu Yan to the newly opened dumpling shop at the back of the school for dinner.

Two bowls of steaming greasy dumplings were presented. Shen Kui took two bites, his eyes stopped on Lu Yan's chopsticks.

She mashed with chopsticks, peeled the dumplings, and ate the vegetable meat.

Shen Kui knocked on the edge of her bowl and said casually, "Why don't you take you to eat meat next time?"

Lu Yan curled her lips and said, "The dumpling skin is too thick, and I'm losing weight."

"Eat meat to lose weight?"

"You don't understand. Dumpling wrappers are made of starch. Starch is definitely an obesity catalyst. On the contrary, meat is rich in protein and is not easy to gain weight. So to lose weight...you have to eat meat."

Shen Kui wrinkled his brows, unable to understand Lu Yan's "weight loss theory".

Not only him, but Lu Zhen also didn't understand. Their generation simply couldn't understand the behavior of girls clamoring to lose weight.

Shen Kui looked at her greasy mouth with a kind of love in his eyes.

Eating meat to lose weight is no one.

He also smashed the dumpling skins with chopsticks, put the meat dumplings inside to Lu Yan, and then put the dumpling skins in her bowl back into his own bowl.

Lu Yan said, "What are you doing?"

"I like to eat dumpling wrappers."

"Nonsense, you just think I'm a waste."

"Isn't it wasted?"

Lu Yan looked at the dumpling wrappers in her bowl, as if... it was a waste. She grinned and gave Shen Kui all the dumpling wrappers in her bowl: "Then you can help me eat it."

Shen Kui didn't refuse. He felt that eating more meat was always good, so he gave Lu Yan a bit of meat.

Lu Yan propped his elbows on the table, looked at the people around him, and whispered to him: "Others will think we are disgusting."

Shen Kui picked up a piece of dumpling wrapper with his chopsticks, lowered his head and ate, and said casually, "Whatever others do."

I don't dislike you.

Lu Yan pursed her mouth to laugh, and tried her best to endure it, looking at him without a smile.

Shen Kui lowered his head to eat, his eyelashes were very long, and his eyes drooped.

He is serious about everything he does, even eating.

I don’t know if do some other things, is it so serious...

The picture in my mind suddenly became a little difficult to describe.

Her cheeks were a little red, and she quickly shook off the random thoughts in her mind and continued to lower her head to eat.

"What are you thinking?" Shen Kui noticed Lu Yan's blushing cheeks.

"No, I didn't think about anything."

Shen Kuo's eyes were dark, with a sense of inquiry, as if he could see into her heart, making Lu Yan feel guilty.

She rubbed her nose and continued to lower her head to eat: "Don't stare at me!"

Shen Kui smiled faintly: "I see."

Lu Yan asked alertly: "What do you know?"

He put down his chopsticks and said nothing.

Lu Yan panicked, and scratched his sleeve: "What do you know!"

Shen Kui still didn't speak, but nodded her eyebrows: "Don't say anything, eat seriously."

At this moment, a tall boy in a sweatshirt sat across from the table of the two of them——

"Shen Kuo, coincidence! You have dinner too."

"Um."

"Eh eh eh? This girl is..."

Shen Kui said without hesitation: "My girlfriend."

"Eh?????"

The boy became more surprised and scratched his head: "Girlfriend? You actually have a girlfriend!"

Lu Yan asked, "Why can't he have a girlfriend?"

The boy reacted for several seconds, and finally said: "I didn't mean that, sister-in-law, don't mind, I am Shen Kuo's roommate, and my name is Yang Yan."

"Hello, my name is Lu Yan."

Yang Yan stared at Lu Yan for a short while, apparently he didn't expect that Shen Kui actually had a girlfriend, not to mention... his girlfriend was so beautiful.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know, so many girls in our school chase him, Shen Kui refused, we thought he didn't like women."

Lu Yan blinked, "Really, is it possible that you think he likes boys?"

He scratched his head and gave a smirk: "Isn't Lu Zhen sabotaging the girl's confession to him? One time I received an invitation, but it hadn't been opened yet. Let Lu Zhen snatch it and tear it up. We all thought he and Lu Zhen...what's the matter."

Lu Yan's mouth twitched: "Lu Zhen dare to tear his love letter..."

"That's not it, Shen Kuo's peach blossom this year has been blocked by Lu Zhen, it's almost impossible."

Yang Yan is a cheerful and talkative temperament, and she unceasingly said: "During the freshman year, Lu Zhen also let out a word, saying that Shen Kui is from their Lu family, don't want to move anyone..."

Lu Yan helped her forehead in embarrassment, and she was embarrassed to look at Shen Kuo.

Yang Yan said again, staring at Lu Yan for a long time.

"Your eyes... resemble Lu Zhen, and your nose resembles..."

Lu Yan didn't want to admit that she had anything to do with Lu Zhen's idiot: "It's not like it, we don't at all..."

"She is Lu Zhen's younger sister." Shen Kui said calmly.

"Damn!!!!"

Yang Yan's eyes widened, looking at Lu Yan, it suddenly dawned on him: "That's it! It's no wonder that Lu Zhen is protecting our brother Shen so much. It turns out that it is brother-in-law hahaha."

Lu Yan became interested and quickly asked, "Does Lu Zhen protect him?"

"That's not it!" Yang Yan simply ordered a bowl of dumplings, and sat down and said slowly: "Lu Zhen, it's a knife-mouthed tofu heart. On the face of it, he hates him, but in fact, he is kind to him, yes. All delicious foods are delivered to his dormitory; in our class, we buy two copies of Coke for physical education; if anyone looks at Shen Kui not pleasing to the eye, he said a few more words, Lu Zhen has a bad temper, no matter what the three seven twenty one, I want to roll up my sleeves..."

The corners of Lu Yan's mouth raised, feeling happy.

Her father is such a person. He has a straight temper, does not have so many turns, and has no heart. He loves houses and people. Lu Yan likes and cares about people, and he will do his best to protect...

The steaming dumplings were served. Yang Yan removed the disposable chopsticks and said to Shen Kui smoothly: "By the way, Shen Kui, don't pay too much attention to the scholarship this time. I didn't comment this time. Come back next year. "

"Then we'll go back first, you eat slowly." Shen Kui took Lu Yan and left.

Lu Yan grasped the key words in the words and asked Yang Yan back: "You said he didn't get a scholarship this year?"

Yang Yan put the hot dumplings into his mouth, and said roundly, "Yes, he has taken the exam."

"Subject?!"

Lu Yan's expression changed in an instant: "Why did he fail?"

"Hey, you don't know yet, he didn't come for the first exam."

"Explain to you on the way."

Shen Kui grasped Lu Yan's hand and pulled her away, not wanting Yang Yan's unobstructed big mouth to say anything.

His hands were so hard that Lu Yan's white wrists turned red when he was clenched. She pulled away from him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Under the treetops of the moon shadow, Shen Kui casually replied, "I was in Beicheng when I was taking the first exam."

"Why are you in Beicheng if you don't take the final exam?"

"I'm outside the hospital isolation building..."

Lu Yan's speech was suddenly stagnant, and it suddenly occurred to her that at that time, she was quarantined because she was suspected of having sex...

"At that time, you were always outside the hospital?"

"Um."

Lu Yan recalled that she was quarantined for three weeks at that time.

"Not those three weeks, you all..."

"Come every day." Shen Kui said calmly: "Except for sleeping and eating, I have been waiting for you downstairs all the time."

There was sorrow and grief in Lu Yan's throat.

At that time in Beicheng, with a temperature of minus 20 degrees, he just stood in the snow...waiting for her.

"Why are you waiting for me."

She felt very distressed, her eyes were a little red, she reached out and patted his chest lightly, but Shen Kui held her hand.

"I am afraid."

She looked up at him in surprise, his eyebrows drooped, his dark eyes were hidden in the shadows under the street lamp, and there was a gleam of light.

"At that time, I was really afraid. I was afraid that when I wake up, there will be no more in this world. I am afraid I don't know where to find you."

Lu Yan's mind was suddenly empty for a few seconds. She had never seen Shen Kuo's helpless and fearful side.

He is Shen Kui, the man who is calm and self-assured at all times, he will have times of fear.

He was afraid that this world would never have her again, but she... didn't belong to this world at all.

Lu Yan hugged Shen Kuo's waist, burying his head into his chest, and said coquettishly: "Shen Kuo."

"What's wrong?"

"I can't go anywhere."

"Um?"

"Time can't separate us. Even if we are separated, you have to wait for me. I will find you too. I will definitely!"

Shen Kui frowned: "Suddenly it made it the same as life and death."

"You promise me! If I disappear suddenly, you can't get married, you must wait for me, you... promise me!"

A few tears ooze from the corners of her eyes, all rubbing against the skirt of his clothes.

Just now, the emotions were wiped out, but Shen Kui was amused by her: "Can't you get married?"

Lu Yan felt even more sad and cried, "Anyway, you can't be with others...because I will find you. If you are found, you will get married, and I will be sad."

Shen Kui suddenly wanted to laugh, but seeing that the little girl was really moving, he was rather helpless, and said softly, "I didn't promise you already."

He had promised her a long time ago, and she was the only one in his life.

She doesn't marry.

However, Lu Yan's heart became heavier and heavier and more frightened.

Shen Kui in the previous life really never married; Shen Kui in the previous life also said that he was waiting for someone.

Lu Yan closed her eyes and didn't want to think about it again.

She hugged him tightly and said in a slightly hoarse, weak voice: "I love you, Shen Kuo."

Shen Kui lowered his head and kissed her hair: "I know."

He knew that Lu Yan loved him very much, very much, very much...

After that night, Lu Yan recalled her last life in her dreams countless times.

After Lu Zhen went bankrupt in his last life, all his assets, including their house, were confiscated by the bank.

She and her father and daughter Lu Zhen were squeezed in a cramped rental house. Lu Zhen was burdened with high debts. Those usury loaners came to collect the debts and threatened to use his daughter to repay the debts, almost driving him crazy.

Lu Yan has seen how crazy a man can be. In order to protect her, her father stays up at the door with red eyes and a knife every night, in order to protect her.

Lu Zhen couldn't bear to see his father becoming increasingly haggard. He once went to Shen Kui crying and begged him to let Lu Zhen go.

At that time, Shen Kui had no wrinkles in her suit and leather shoes. Although she was old...but years left no trace on his face. He looked so young and handsome.

But what is different from the young man is that his eyes are dark and deep, full of wind and clouds.

Without the recklessness and youthfulness of a young man, he has the stability and tolerance of a mature man. At that time, he was definitely the most perfect moment in a man's life.

Lu Yan was trembling with fear under his gaze. She cried and begged him, and also called him Uncle Shen, begging him to let his father go.

In the dream, Lu Yan recalled all these many details.

For example, Shen Kui didn’t want to see her at first. She blocked him at the door of the company. He stared at her for a long time before he took her into the office, drove everyone out, closed the door, and gave it to her. Pour a cup...

tomato juice.

Her favorite tomato juice...

For another example, when she called him Uncle Shen, she saw his hands tremble visibly.

Later, Shen Kui told her that Lu Zhen could be let go, but there was one condition

She moved into Shen's house and lived with him.

At that time, Lu Yan felt that the sky was spinning, and she was terrified. She thought Shen Kui was going to do something terrible to herself.

However, it turns out that she thinks too much.

Shen Kui asked her to move out of a rented house with a bad environment. In the Shen family mansion, he gave her a separate room, which was larger and more luxurious than her previous room.

Shen Kui is busy with work on weekdays and doesn't take care of her much, but keeps her at home.

But the servants at home treat her with great respect, and Shen Kui sometimes stops at the door of her room for a long while when he comes back from get off work.

But he never disturbed her.

Or maybe... he restrained himself carefully to avoid frightening her.

In fact, Lu Yan had noticed these details, but she didn't think so much at the time.

Up to this moment, the bits and pieces of the past gathered in her heart, and the mystery seemed obvious...

Does this mean that one day, she will disappear from this world?

According to the current plot development, Lu Zhen and Jian Yao will definitely get better and better, then in this world, there will be another one of her born.

She doesn't belong to this world.

Her mission to come to this world has not been completed, she has not found her little aunt, and has not yet figured out the cause of her mother’s death...

Not reconciled to leave like this, and don't want to leave.

Lu Yan was worried and melancholy for several days, and then felt that he was unreasonably worried, that his fate had his own arrangements, and it was useless to think more at this moment.

That afternoon, Lu Zhen went through the academy and happened to hear Shen Kui and the counselor talk about student loans.

"In your case, you can apply, but you have to go to the neighborhood committee to stamp and then go through the process."

"How long will it take?"

"The number of student loans is limited, and there are many students in the college who are in similar situations, so we can't come in a hurry. We will have to take an assessment when that happens."

Teacher Qin thought for a while, and said: "Shen Kuo, in your case, you can actually apply for a subsidy for poor students, and it should be approved soon. The student loan cycle is too long."

Shen Kui shook his head and refused: "I don't need subsidies. I will repay the loan if I earn money later."

"Hey...then you go back and wait for the news."

Shen Kui nodded, took the documents and walked out of the office. Lu Zhen hurriedly hid behind the office door, with his back against the wall, for fear of being seen by him.

Shen Kui seemed thoughtful and didn't notice him.

Lu Zhen looked at his leaving back, touched his chin, thought for a moment, and immediately walked to the counselor's office.

"Ms. Qin, I also want to apply for a student loan!"

When the counselor, Teacher Qin, saw Lu Zhen coming in, he reproached: "What are you doing?"

What is the background of the Lu family? Isn't he joking to apply for student loans?

Lu Zhen put his hands on the desk and asked Teacher Qin, "What is the student loan and what is the poverty subsidy?"

Teacher Qin explained: “Student loan is a loan applied for from a bank. It is repaid after graduation, and there is no need to repay the poverty subsidy. It is the welfare of the school and comes from kind donations from people in the society.”

Lu Zhen nodded thoughtfully.

In the evening, when Lu Zhen called Lu Yan, he said: "That guy is too arrogant. He would rather pay off the loan than the school's welfare subsidy."

Lu Yan listened to her narration, but did not speak for a long time.

Lu Zhen continued: "His tuition is deducted by the scholarship, but speaking of it, he failed his course last semester. If there is no scholarship, what is the tuition of that guy this semester?"

"Does he have other sources of income? For example, like high school... doing a small business or something." Lu Yan asked.

Lu Zhen smiled and said, "Do you think that the computer department with a big Q is the best in the country? Not to mention that there are so many exploding courses every day, which is a heavy learning task after class, compared to the third year of high school. There is nothing worse than it is."

Lu Yan curled her lips: "Then I think you are quite free."

"Ah, this...it's not idle, it's just that your dad will arrange the time reasonably."

Lu Zhen brought the topic back to Shen Kui: "That guy is like a learning machine with no emotions. Except for class, he spends most of his time in the library. At the same time, he seems to have to do research with a group of graduate students. There should be no time. Go out and do other things."

"Oh..."

In other words, he does not have any source of income, no wonder he has to apply for student loans.

Lu Zhen was a little gloating, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that the kid is definitely not as rich as in high school, otherwise, why can't you think about it... eating soup and steamed buns in the cafeteria."

Lu Yan hung up the phone, thinking about it and feeling wrong, so he called Zhong Kai again.

"Hey, Xiao Yanyan, call me so late, what's the matter?" Zhong Kai seemed to be busy there, the background sound was noisy, and he could still hear him greet: "Put there, hey, be careful, don't give I knocked."

"Brother Zhong Kai, I just want to ask you, Shen Kuo...has he not done things with you now?"

Zhong Kai touched his head and asked blankly: "You said doing business?"

"Um."

"No, he has been very busy since he was in college. It is difficult for us to meet each other."

"Then he... has another source of income?"

"I really don't know this."

Zhong Kai said frankly: "After Dad Shen Kui left, his burden was not so heavy, and he didn't focus on making money. He said that after going to college, he realized that his vision was limited in the past. He wanted I can do great things in the future, so now I must seize all the time to learn knowledge and improve my skills."

"I see, thank you Uncle Zhong Kai."

Zhong Kai asked worriedly: "Is something wrong with him, his hand is short, you tell me, I..."

"No no." Lu Yan said quickly: "It's okay, I just ask casually, you must not ask him."

Lu Yan knew that boys always wanted face.

Zhong Kai sighed softly, fearing that Lu Yan would dislike Shen Kui, and said to her: "Xiao Yanyan, our brother Shen, now is quite desolate, there is no way, his father has been sick for many years, almost the whole family It's all run out, but if you give him some time, he won't be poor all his life, you...don't dislike him!"

"how come..."

How could she dislike him.

After hanging up, Lu Yan took a heavy step back to the dormitory.

In the dormitory, the girls were already asleep. She gently climbed onto the bed and looked at the dark ceiling, not drowsy at all.

Jian Yao from the bed next door climbed onto her bed, lay beside her, and asked quietly, "What's the matter?"

"Recently, a lot of troubles." Lu Yan was wrapped in a bed and whispered: "My boyfriend is so poor, I'm so sad, although I know I will get better, but still..."

I feel sorry for him.

He is such a proud and stubborn person, but he is driven to poverty by life.

Jian Yao turned over, hugged her, gently patted her lower abdomen, exhaled like a blue, and said softly: "You can help him, but you need to be skilled so that he doesn't hurt his self-esteem, you understand."

"My own money is given by the family...I, I can't use the family's money..."

The corner of Jian Yao's mouth raised and said slowly: "You want to make money, are you afraid that there is no way out?"

Lu Yan suddenly remembered something, hugged her, buried her head in her neck, and muttered, "You reminded me, mom..."

"Hey, you little girl, what are you shouting like..."

Lu Yan refused to let go.

Jian Yao only thought she was acting like a baby, and didn't push her away. She followed her words and said, "Go to sleep, sleep with your mother."

The next morning, Lu Yan retrieved the business card given to her by Susan, the person in charge of Bateau, from her schoolbag. After hesitating for a few minutes, she finally called her.

"Hello, Ms. Susan, this is Lu Yan."

Susan was obviously pleasantly surprised when she received the call. She didn't even open the morning meeting. She came to the quiet floor-to-ceiling window and said enthusiastically, "Miss Lu Yan, are you sure you want to give me a reply?"

"Well, think about it, I want to take back what I said before not considering endorsements, I am willing to be the endorsement of the new products of Bardo this season."

Susan clenched a fist excitedly and said yes, but fortunately there was no one around.

She straightened her clothes immediately, restrained her excitement, and said in a calm tone: "I will send you the company address right away. You can come to the company headquarters at any time. We have to sign the contract. It is best to come over today, without making an appointment, and go to the front desk to say My name will do."

"that..."

Susan heard Lu Yan's hesitant tone and asked quickly: "Do you have any questions?"

"It's the endorsement fee, can I... advance in advance?"
