The film and television city starts from the courtyard

But when Wang Chao saw the person in front of him clearly, he realized that he had misunderstood. Although he didn't know why Li Bala was not as exquisite as she was a few days ago, she was Xu Yi's girlfriend.

"Xu Yi's courses today are Western economics, finance, advanced mathematics, etc."

Wang Chao checked the time on his phone and said, "At this time, the next class should be a finance course. You can go..."

After hearing this, Li Bala nodded and said, "Thank you, classmate!"

Watching Li Bala hurriedly running towards the teaching building, Wang Chao was a little confused. He didn't know why Li Bala was so anxious to find Xu Yi.

After class, when Zhao Shucheng was about to go to the new classroom, he saw Li Bala appear outside the classroom.

"Well, why are you here?"

Li Bala threw herself into Zhao Shucheng's arms and said, "Xu Yi, please don't misunderstand me. I haven't done anything to let you down."

Zhao Shucheng just felt a little puzzled. Li Bala came to see him and just said this without any context.

"Come on, are you having a nightmare? What did I misunderstand?"

Li Bala seemed to have realized that since Zhao Shucheng didn't push her away and didn't ask her about Zhang Yang, did it mean that he didn't see the text message on her phone at all?

"Didn't you check my phone when you got up this morning?"

"Why would I look at your phone? It's your own thing, it involves your privacy. How could I look at it without your permission? Is there some secret in it that you're afraid I'll find out?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at the students who were watching the excitement and said, "Okay, this is not the place to talk. Follow me!"

Li Bala also knew that it was inappropriate for her to appear in this state, so she could only follow Zhao Shucheng obediently. They did not stop until they came to a pavilion.

"Okay, now that there's not many people around, let's talk it out. What happened that made you come to me in such a hurry?"

Li Bala said: "Nothing, I just saw you were not here this morning, and I thought..."

"I'm afraid it's more than that. We've been together for quite a while, and it's not the first or second time that you've been sleeping when I got up in the morning for class. This has never happened before. Are you still not going to tell me the truth?"

Li Bala hesitated for a long time and said, "Actually, Zhang Yang called me and sent me text messages yesterday, saying some very bad things. I was worried that you would misunderstand me after reading it."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "What do you misunderstand? For example, you were sent by Zhang Yang to be with me, or Zhang Yang asked you to seduce me?"

Li Bala's face turned pale instantly, and she looked at Zhao Shucheng in horror, fearing that Zhao Shucheng would say something to break up with her in a moment.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what others say, but what about you? Are you doing this for the mission, or do you really like me? Do you know?"

"Of course I like you, otherwise why would I live with you and be with you..."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Yeah, I think so too. After all, no girl would give her feelings and body to someone she doesn't like just for someone she might like. If such a person really exists, I can only admire her for being a true love-brained person who gave up everything for love, whether it's her self-esteem or her personality."

"Aren't you worried that I might be in love too?"

Hearing Li Bala ask this, Zhao Shucheng smiled even more happily.

"Li Bala. You don't think I really don't know anything and I don't know whether the person who approaches me has ulterior motives or not, so I sleep with him, right?"

When Li Bala heard Zhao Shucheng say this, she immediately felt relieved.

"You scared me to death. I thought you didn't want me anymore."

"How could that be? As long as you are willing to follow me, I will never abandon you."

Zhao Shucheng wiped the tears from Li Bala's eyes and said, "Let's go home. You came out in such a hurry without putting on any makeup."

Li Bala seemed to have just reacted and hurriedly pulled Zhao Shucheng away. He felt that everyone around him was staring at him.

After this misunderstanding, the relationship between Zhao Shucheng and Li Bala became more stable.

In the following time, Zhao Shucheng lived a limited life. Every day he either went to school to read or stayed at home to trade stocks on the computer, while Li Bala stayed at home to read books and play with kittens.

During this period, Li Bala also received a call from Blackie. After several setbacks, he finally rented a basement in Baoshan District. It was a small room with barely enough space for a bed, and the monthly rent was more than 400 yuan, which emptied Blackie's pockets in an instant.

Although he found a job as a waiter in a barbecue restaurant, his monthly salary was barely enough to cover rent and food, leaving little money.

Although Li Bala didn't know how black people lived in Shanghai, he could tell from the phone call that they were actually very angry.

After all, in Dongshan, even if black people didn't have much money, they were still considered important people. They had friends and were followed by many people wherever they went. But now in Shanghai, he is just an insignificant little person, and is even ordered around by others, and the locals look down on him.

But he was unwilling to leave like this. Although he couldn't be with Li Bala, he also hoped to be in the same city with her so that he could see Li Bala occasionally.

Time soon came to the winter vacation, Zhao Shucheng naturally had to go home for the Spring Festival. Although Li Bala wanted to stay in Shanghai to accompany Zhao Shucheng, she couldn't go to Zhao Shucheng's home. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to go back to her hometown this year to spend the last Spring Festival with her grandmother, and then stay with Zhao Shucheng.

When Li Bala's grandmother saw her granddaughter coming back, although she was very happy that her granddaughter had returned, she still said unforgivingly:

"Where have you been? You haven't come back in so many days. I thought you died out there."

Li Bala looked at her grandmother and was somewhat excited, but when she heard what her grandmother said, the smile on her face gradually froze and she said, "She didn't die outside, she came back." Then she put the gift she brought for her grandmother on the table.

Grandma Li glanced at Li Bala who had returned to her room, then looked at the gift that Li Bala had brought back on the table, opened it, and examined it carefully.

Especially the shoes that Li Bala gave her, she loved them so much that she tried them again and again, but was reluctant to wear them.

Li Bala came to the bar to find her cousin Asi. After all, he might be her only relative besides her grandmother, so naturally she had to tell him that she was back.

Ah Xi was naturally very happy to see Li Bala come back. He pulled Li Bala to sit down, looked at Li Bala, and said, "Bala, you are finally back. You have changed a lot. You are different from before. You have matured."

"When I'm not around, do my fans miss me?" Ah Xi said, "Want to hear the truth?"

Seeing Li Bala nod, he smiled and said, "My business has been much better since you left."

"Hey, your mother will be back soon, you know?"

Li Bala shook his head.

"I heard that she did clothing business with that foreigner, made a lot of money, and even bought a house by the sea. It seems that she really wants to take you away this time."

Li Bala said, "Thank you. What can I do in a foreign country? Tell her not to bother with that."

Ah Xi said, "Listen to your cousin's advice. Don't be so stubborn. There is no benefit in making things difficult for yourself."

Li Bala said, "I know her better than you. If she really wanted to take me abroad, she would have taken me there eight hundred years ago. She only cares about herself, and everyone else is shit."

Ah Xi knew that Li Bala had a deep grudge against her mother for leaving her, and she couldn't persuade her with just a few words. She could only hope that her aunt could have a good talk with Li Bala after she came back.

"By the way, I heard that you went to the Magic City to chase the boy you liked. Is everything going well?"

"Of course, I'll come to spend the Spring Festival with you this year, and I may live in the Magic City permanently after that. When the time comes, you can go visit my grandma when you have time, or she might die one day and no one will know."

"Are you really determined to follow that boy?"

Li Bala nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong with Xu Yi. The house we live in now and the living expenses are all provided by him. He also doesn't let me work, but lets me go to night school and plans for my future. I think this is pretty good."

"That's fine, but you should have a good talk after your mother comes back. Maybe it's a good choice for you. After all, Xu Yi's family is well off. If you follow him like this, even if you don't have a matching family background, it's not bad to have an overseas identity."

"Cousin, please stop talking. I will not leave with my mother. Besides, you know my academic performance. If I go out, I will have trouble communicating with others. In the end, won't I come back in disgrace?"

Li Bala actually had another worry, that is, Zhao Shucheng did not belong to her alone, there were so many girls eyeing him covetously. If she really left with her mother, wouldn't it give Jiang Jiao an opportunity? When she came back, there might not be a place for her by Zhao Shucheng's side.

Li Er was also very happy when she saw Li Bala. Although she and she liked the same boy, it did not prevent them from continuing to be good friends.

"Ba La, you're back!"

"Little Ear, we finally meet again."

Li Er asked, "When did you come back?"

"Yesterday! I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Li Er said: "How did you know I would come? Actually, you could have called me, and then I would have taken the initiative to find you."

"It's my intuition. Actually, I know that your school has a late break for senior year students, so I thought you must still be in class, so I didn't disturb you from studying."

Li Er hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is he back too?"

Li Bala was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean Xu Yi? If he doesn't come back, he will spend the New Year in Shanghai this year."

"Then how did you..."

Li Bala said, "You want to ask me why I didn't stay in Shanghai to spend the New Year with him, right? Actually, I thought about it, but Xu Yi's parents are both in Shanghai, so he must go home to be with them. I live alone in a rental house, which is a bit lonely, so I thought I might as well go home for the New Year."

Li Er listened to Li Bala talking about what happened to him in Shanghai, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should be envious or regretful.

After Zhao Shucheng returned home, he was actually questioned by his parents. Sometimes they asked Zhao Shucheng how he and Li Bala were getting along, and sometimes they asked why Li Bala didn't come back with them, and whether the two had broken up, etc.

Zhao Shucheng could only deal with it casually and told him that Li Bala was going back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year.

Li Er was chatting with Li Bala, but noticed that Li Bala seemed to be in a low mood, so he asked:

"Well, is there any problem between you two? Can you tell me?"

Li Bala looked at Li Er and said, "Little Ear, I think Xu Yi and I have no future."

"Tell me what happened, maybe I can help you find a solution."

Li Bala sighed and said, "When I was in Dongshan, I didn't think there was anything wrong. I just thought that as long as two people loved each other, they could be together. But during this time in the Magic City, I feel more and more that there is a huge gap between us."

"He has a bright future, and is surrounded by equally outstanding classmates. They can discuss history and the present, and some may even become elites in society. I feel like I am particularly useless, shameless, and an idiot."

Li Bala couldn't help but grab her hair with her hands, as if this would make her feel better.

"Well, listen carefully. You are my most important friend. I won't allow you to say that about yourself."

Li Bala said, "I know!"

"You're not as bad as you think. You were so popular when you sang in the bar. Besides, everyone has their own strengths. Just because you're not good at studying doesn't mean you're not as good as others in other aspects."

Li Bala shook his head and said, "That's what you think, but in fact, I rely on Xu Yi to live in Shanghai. When I was about the same age, Xu Yi was still in college, but he had already earned more wealth than I could ever imagine in my lifetime, and I could only rely on Xu Yi, like a dodder."

"Since you don't want to be a dodder that relies on Xu Yi, then find a way to work hard. You will always be the best, and it's okay to work hard from now on."

Hearing Li Er say this, Li Bala felt much better. In fact, she didn't really want to leave Zhao Shucheng, but the previous conversation with her cousin and the conversation when Jiang Jiao came to see her made Li Bala always feel that she was not worthy of Zhao Shucheng.

But now with Li Er's support, she felt that she should try harder. If she didn't try, how would she know that she was not worthy of Zhao Shucheng? Besides, she was studying hard and preparing to go to night university. In the future, she and Zhao Shucheng would both have bachelor's degrees.

She would also work hard. Even if she couldn't make millions like Zhao Shucheng in just a few months, she could still support herself through work and help Zhao Shucheng. (End of this chapter)
