Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 706: Why is Zhu Sheng here too?
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Luo held Yan Zhusheng in the car for more than half an hour and finally left the campus of the Conservatory of Music.

Taking her for a ride along the river and listening to her humming in the car, Li Luo drove the car to a small park nearby.

It is quite pleasant to hold hands and take a walk in the park, chatting as we walk.

Yan Zhusheng didn’t have anywhere he wanted to go, nor did he have anything he wanted to do. As long as he could stay with Li Luo, it didn’t matter what he did.

Compared to when we first met at the beginning of high school, Yan Zhusheng is now more human and doesn't look so cold.

The personality can be active occasionally.

At this time, she was holding Li Luo's hand, stepping on the stone slabs on the lawn step by step, just like stepping on one piano scale after another, accompanying the tune she hummed, which was very beautiful.

"I have to go to school to attend a regular department meeting later this evening." Li Luo stroked the back of her delicate hand, and after she hummed a piece of music, he said, "I will have dinner with you later, and then I have to go back."

"I'll go with you." Yan Zhusheng turned his head and said.

"what?"

"I don't have classes tomorrow morning." Yan Zhusheng blinked and said expectantly, "I only have one class in the afternoon, so I can go home and sleep today."

"Oh, that's fine." Li Luo nodded, "Then you can come with me after dinner."

"Yeah." Yan Zhusheng nodded obediently. When they reached the park corridor, he pulled Li Luo to sit down, and he sat horizontally on his lap. He hugged Li Luo's neck and began to ask for a kiss.

At the end of the corridor is a pavilion where several old men are sitting and playing chess.

Occasionally an old man would turn around and catch a glimpse of this scene, then click his tongue twice and turn back to continue watching the chess game.

"They seem to have seen it all." Li Luo reminded in a low voice during the break.

As a result, the next second, Yan Zhusheng came up to him again without caring about anything and blocked his voice, and it was obvious that he didn't care at all.

If it were Ying Chanxi, she would never be so proactive in such a place if Li Luo didn't press her against the wall.

Yan Zhusheng is much more proactive than her sister. She never cares about the opinions of people around her. She kisses whenever she wants and does it without any scruples.

The two of them stayed in the park for a while, and it was already 4:30 in the afternoon, so Li Luo finally held her up from the bench and walked towards the parking lot.

"Have dinner, and then go back."

"Oh."

……

After dinner, Li Luo drove Yan Zhusheng across the river bridge.

On the way, Yan Zhusheng tapped on the screen of his mobile phone, and suddenly turned to Li Luo and asked, "It seems that the clubs will be recruiting new members tomorrow. Is there any club you want to join?"

"I don't care. It depends on what you want to join." Li Luo said while driving, "Are there any clubs you are interested in?"

Yan Zhusheng blinked and then said, "I looked at the club recruitment brochure distributed today, and there seems to be a badminton club in it."

"I remember you like playing badminton." Li Luo said with a smile, "You can join the club, but you are usually in the music school. It seems that it will not be very convenient for you to participate in activities after joining the club, right?"

"It doesn't matter." Yan Zhusheng shook his head, "I will be able to pass the driving test soon."

"That's true."

"There is also a Qingyun Piano Club. Zhaoyin said she wanted to join and asked me if I could accompany her."

"Then join it. It doesn't matter how many clubs there are." Li Luo said, "It's all voluntary whether you want to participate in activities. But if there is someone to accompany you in the piano club, I won't join it, right?"

"Why?" Yan Zhusheng asked, "Didn't you say that we can add as many members as we want to a club?"

"It's mainly because of my piano level..." Li Luo curled his lips, "Even if I wanted to join, they wouldn't want me."

"Haven't I taught you piano for a long time?" Yan Zhusheng said, "It's not like you can't play it."

"I can play... but I haven't passed the piano exam." Li Luo said, "Maybe their piano club has some entry requirements."

"Then you can play a song for them on the spot."

"There has to be a piano on site..."

"You just won't accompany me."

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it later." Li Luo nodded repeatedly, "If I can join you, I'll accompany you."

"Others include rap, classical, free seven-tone..." Yan Zhusheng mentioned one club after another that she was interested in. However, she didn't want to join all of them. She just wanted Li Luo to accompany her to check them out when the time comes.

"The club's recruitment will last for three days." Li Luo said, "You have classes tomorrow afternoon, so I'll go shopping with you on Saturday."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded obediently, "I know, you still have to accompany Xixi and Senior Sister."

Li Luo: "...You are quite self-aware."

"I'm very well behaved." Yan Zhusheng sat obediently in the passenger seat and said innocently while blinking his eyes.

"Then I'll take you home now?" Li Luo said, "I still have to go to school to attend the regular meeting."

"It doesn't matter." Yan Zhusheng shook his head. "Just go directly. I'll wait for you in the car."

"Isn't it boring?"

"I'll wait for you at home too." Yan Zhusheng said, "If I wait in the car, I can see you earlier."

……

The car drove into the Ningshan campus and parked in the underground parking lot of the administrative building of the School of Arts.

After Li Luo got out of the car, he gave Yan Zhusheng a few more instructions, left a gap in the car window, closed the door and left.

Li Luo walked all the way to classroom 2 on the second floor. When he came in from the front door, there were already quite a few people in the classroom.

Seeing that Xu Youyu had not arrived yet, Li Luo sat next to Xu Yinghuan and greeted her.

Seeing that she was chatting enthusiastically with Ren Zheng and Shen Shuhua next to her, Li Luo casually asked, "What are you talking about?"

When Xu Yinghuan saw that it was him, she started to chatter with a smile: "I was discussing dinner with Ren Zheng and the others."

"Is it just a matter of eating?" Ren Zheng rolled her eyes at her. "Huanhuan wants to invite Zhao Rongjun and his roommates to have a meal together, and asked if we want to join them."

"Yes." Xu Yinghuan nodded, "That's just a meal."

"You can even call this a dormitory party."

"If you say so, then it's not impossible."

"Come on." Ren Zheng waved her hand with a look of disdain, "There's also Liu Shaowen in his dormitory."

"What's wrong with Liu Shaowen?" Xu Yinghuan looked at her strangely, "We were high school classmates after all."

"I'm not going anyway. It's boring." Ren Zheng waved her hand and said, "If you want to treat his roommates to a meal, just do it. Then we can ask Zhao Rongjun to treat our dormitory in return."

"That won't work." Xu Yinghuan shook her head.

"What do you mean?" Ren Zheng was stunned for a moment. "You've already invited their dormitory to dinner, so why can't you ask Zhao Rongjun to treat them back?"

"He doesn't have that much pocket money." Xu Yinghuan said quickly, "He usually uses it for living expenses. I don't want him to be too stressed. At worst, I can treat you guys to a meal next time."

Ren Zheng: "...You are too nice to him. I really don't understand what you like about him."

Li Luo, who was listening to the conversation between Xu Yinghuan and Ren Zheng, couldn't help but twitched his lips. He suddenly thought of the last time Zhao Rongjun was hesitant to talk to him. It seemed that he had figured out what Zhao Rongjun was troubled about recently. Indeed... For someone with a high sense of morality like Zhao Rongjun, it was really hard to bear to fall in love with a considerate rich lady like Xu Yinghuan.

"Where do you plan to invite his roommate to dinner?" Li Luo asked from the side.

"Let's go to Times Paradise." Xu Yinghuan said as a matter of course, "It's not far, we can have a quick meal there."

"Over at Times Street, even if you don't bring Ren Zheng and the others, there are only Zhao Rongjun and his four roommates." Li Luo said, "A meal for five people would cost at least three or four hundred, right?"

"It should be about the same, right?"

"How much does Zhao Rongjun spend on living expenses per month?"

"One thousand and two."

"Then I suggest you treat yourself to a meal in the school cafeteria." Li Luo said.

"Ah? Why?" Xu Yinghuan asked in confusion, "It's a bit informal to treat guests in the cafeteria, isn't it?"

When Li Luo heard this, he rubbed his brows in confusion and smiled helplessly.

In high school, the difference wasn't that obvious.

Everyone wears school uniforms, eats in the cafeteria, and is not allowed to leave the school on weekdays.

But when you get to college, the differences in many things will gradually become apparent.

It was as if in Xu Yinghuan's eyes, going to Times Tianjie to treat people to dinner was a very common thing.

But for many college students from ordinary families like Zhao Rongjun, going to Times Tianjie for a meal once a month is already a very luxurious consumption behavior.

If Zhao Rongjun was a little more scumbag and shameless, he could certainly accept Xu Yinghuan's kindness to him with peace of mind.

Unfortunately, Li Luo knows his good brother too well.

The last time I was so conflicted in front of him, I guess I had been troubled by this problem for a long time.

"Do you understand boys better than I do?" Li Luo asked.

"Hmm..." Xu Yinghuan could only respond when she heard him say that, "Then you must understand."

"Three or four hundred yuan for a meal is too expensive for both Zhao Rongjun and his roommates," Li Luo said. "Although they didn't pay for it, boys will pay a lot of attention to it."

"As long as a girl spends money on a boy, many boys will try to spend more money on you."

"But if they can't do this temporarily due to financial problems, they will feel that they owe the girls, which will lead to a deeper inferiority complex."

"If you want to stay with Zhao Rongjun for a longer period of time, try to control your spending as much as possible."

"That makes sense." Ren Zheng nodded in agreement, "Huanhuan, you always bring us snacks. I feel embarrassed."

"Is that so?" Xu Yinghuan blinked and reacted a little.

The main reason was that Xu Rongbin usually gave her a lot of pocket money, which led Xu Yinghuan to gradually get used to this level of consumption.

Many times, if no one reminds her, she thinks there is nothing wrong with spending money this way.

In fact, she had already considered Zhao Rongjun's feelings very much, but she was used to it and often didn't realize there would be any problems.

"Actually, it's not that I don't allow you to spend money." Li Luo coughed and continued, "But you have to learn how to spend money."

"Boys are actually very easy to please. Whether it's your boyfriend or his roommate, as long as you learn the methods and techniques, it's very easy to control them."

"You're planning to spend three or four hundred dollars on a dinner, so you might as well save the money."

"A meal in the cafeteria might not cost you a hundred dollars for the four of them."

“But for guys, if their roommate’s girlfriend is willing to treat them to a meal in the cafeteria, that’s like an angel.”

"You can buy some candies or biscuits and give them to Zhao Rongjun. Ask him to take them back to the dormitory and share them with his roommates."

"His roommates will definitely be very envious of Zhao Rongjun."

"Expenses like three or four hundred yuan should only be spent on important occasions such as birthday gifts. Normally, try to keep single expenses within fifty yuan."

"You thought you should be considerate of him and thought that he had less living expenses, so he only had to pay for it himself, but for Zhao Rongjun, this was too much pressure."

After listening to what Li Luo said, Xu Yinghuan gradually fell silent. It seemed that she understood what Li Luo meant and was still thinking about it.

Li Luo didn't say anything more. He knew that Xu Yinghuan was quite smart. As long as someone reminded her of this, she would be able to figure it out on her own.

After a while.

Xu Youyu walked into the classroom.

After seeing Li Luo, he strolled over and sat down next to him.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Minister He Hailu arrived on time, but she walked with a limp when she entered the door.

"What's wrong with the minister?" Li Luo asked puzzledly.

"I accidentally fell down the stairs this morning." He Hailu said a little embarrassedly, "So I came a little late. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"it's okay no problem."

"Senior, if you broke your leg, just tell me. We can hold the regular meeting online."

"is it serious?"

"It's nothing serious, just a sprain." He Hailu waved her hand and walked to the first row. She said to Xu Youyu at the back, "But I have to sit down. Let Youyu preside over today's meeting."

"OK." Xu Youyu, the deputy minister, quickly stood up and walked to the podium.

With the experience of being the president of a high school student union, Xu Youyu started the regular meeting in an orderly manner. After getting the notebook of the regular meeting contents from He Hailu, he began to preside over the meeting calmly.

The content of the meeting was also simple.

It's nothing more than reporting on the work situation in the past week, praising the members with good performance, and then arranging the work content for the next week, and by the way, talking about the team-building plan after the end of the Hundred Regiments Campaign.

Although the Hundred Regiments Campaign was mainly organized by the school student union, some things still required the help of the student unions of various colleges.

So recently their School of Arts’ External Relations Department was also assigned some small tasks, which is just right for training new people.

It was just that Li Luo had the big tree of Xu Youyu to lean on for shade and was very relaxed, so he wasn't assigned any tasks at all.

In other words, his task was to accompany the deputy minister to Times Tianjie for food, drink and fun.

"Then let's end the regular meeting here." After Xu Youyu finalized the meeting rules, he announced, "Senior He, please come with us. Li Luo drove here, so we'll take you back to the dormitory."

When He Hailu heard that there was a ride available, she naturally nodded happily. After all, they were all going back to Qingxi dormitory, and it was just on the way, so it wouldn't be a big deal to bother others.

Li Luo had no objection, so he took Xu Youyu and He Hailu to the underground parking lot.

But when he reached the basement floor, Li Luo took out his car keys and pressed the unlock button. When he saw the small wooden harmonica pendant tied to the car keys, he suddenly realized that Yan Zhusheng seemed to still be sitting in the car.

At this moment, Xu Youyu had already arrived at the car and opened the passenger seat.

"Huh? Why is Zhu Sheng here too?"
