Midnight, internet cafe.

The cold light from the screen illuminated Lu Jinyu's handsome profile; the young man's eyes were aloof, yet a trace of lingering irritation remained.

Lu Jinyu's fingers flew across the keyboard.

The character on the screen had just landed, picked up a shotgun, and rushed towards the most crowded area, only to be eliminated shortly after landing.

Cao Jie, who was standing next to him, looked completely bewildered.

He was Lu Jinyu's best friend from high school, and after graduation, they tried everything new and exciting.

This includes, but is not limited to, getting ear piercings and dyeing hair.

His green hair stood out conspicuously in the dim light of the internet cafe.

After being eliminated once again, Cao Jie stopped and looked at Lu Jinyu with a puzzled expression.

Even if he was slow to notice, he realized that Lu Jinyu was acting very strangely tonight, as if she was holding back a lot of anger.

In the past, Lu Jinyu was definitely the one who could hide the most, but today Lu Jinyu deliberately rushed to the places with the most people.

"Why are you so angry? Did your girlfriend cheat on you?"

Cao Jie leaned closer, squinting at Lu Jinyu.

He knew, of course, that Lu Jinyu didn't have a girlfriend, which is why he dared to say that.

As for Zhou Zixuan from their class, Cao Jie didn't think it was possible for Lu Jinyu and her to be together.

Father, like son.

Cao Jie had long known that Zhou Zixuan was too opportunistic and only associated with people who were useful to her and could help her.

"Don't worry, your mother didn't cheat on you," Lu Jinyu said.

After dropping Wen Keke off at the subway station at 9:30 to go home, something happened.

His father, Lu Jianguo, talked to him about his living expenses during university, and gave him 1,000 yuan a month.

Lu Jinyu said that a thousand wasn't enough; they wouldn't even have a chance to eat.

As a branch manager of a bank, Lu Jianguo was certainly good at accounting and knew that one thousand was not enough.

He hoped that Lu Jinyu could take one day each weekend to work part-time and experience the harsh realities of society as soon as possible.

Lu Jinyu said he was going to school, not to work; he just wanted to study hard.

This angered Lu Jianguo, who said that Lu Jinyu was ungrateful and couldn't understand that his father was doing it for his own good.

In the end, Lu Jianguo got angry.

"Just one thousand, take it or leave it."

Lu Jianguo was furious and slammed his hand on the table with a loud bang.

"Okay, no."

Lu Jinyu spoke calmly.

I didn't argue with him from the beginning, but after trying to communicate for a long time without success, I simply stopped communicating.

This infuriated Lu Jianguo even more.

In Lu Jianguo's view, it was clearly for the good of this kid, so why couldn't he understand?

Let him try part-time work on weekends to experience the difficulty of earning money, in order to cultivate his abilities.

As long as he's willing to give it a try, even if he doesn't make any money in the end, I'll still give him more living expenses.

Why can't he understand his own good intentions?

Lu Jinyu felt that his father was used to being a leader in the bank, and when he came home, he still spoke in that same tone, showing no willingness to communicate properly.

Lu Jinyu simply couldn't be bothered to talk to him anymore.

But the boy's calm expression and words made Lu Jianguo feel that he was being provoked.

"Are you trying to rebel?"

Lu Jianguo stood up abruptly, his eyes wide with anger. "You've grown bold, haven't you? If you've got the guts, you don't even need tuition fees. I'll see what you're really made of."

Lu Jinyu spoke almost without hesitation, her face expressionless, her tone remaining calm:

"Fine, I don't want it."

Lu Jianguo's face turned ashen. He pointed at his son, his lips parted, but he was too angry to utter a single word.

Lu Jinyu felt that his father's parenting style was simply indescribable, and at this moment he even had the intention to take action.

"Hey, can you calm down?"

Seeing that things were not going well, Lu Jinyu prepared to make a quick escape.

"If you dare to leave this house today, never come back."

When Lu Jianguo saw that he wanted to go out, his voice suddenly rose.

Lu Jinyu stopped, scratched his head, and then turned and went back to his room.

Lu Jianguo then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around, sat back down on the sofa, and started reading the newspaper, but he couldn't concentrate on it at all.

He shook his head, thinking that if he didn't want to work part-time, fine, but he would still give him three thousand a month for living expenses.

Today's children are ultimately different from those of their generation.

Lu Jianguo had only been sitting for a few minutes when he saw Lu Jinyu come out of the room again, carrying a bag in her hand.

He paused for a moment, then heard the young man standing at the door ask:

"What did you just say?"

Lu Jianguo instinctively stammered, "If you dare to leave this room today, never... ever come back?"

"Oh, if you don't want to reply, then don't."

Lu Jinyu said something indifferently, opened the door, and disappeared in a flash.

Lu Jianguo was stunned for several seconds. By the time he reacted, Lu Jinyu had already disappeared.

Wen Qingqing was sleeping when she heard the noise and opened the door. She saw her husband standing there, his face ashen.

After understanding the whole story.

Wen Qingqing turned pale with fright.

Today's children have a completely different capacity to cope than their generation; they are prone to depression and suicide at the drop of a hat.

She took out her phone and quickly called Lu Jinyu.

……

cybercafe.

"Are you really alright?"

Cao Jie pointed to Lu Jinyu's phone on the table, "You keep getting calls, why don't you answer it?"

Lu Jinyu glanced at it; the phone screen was upside down on the table, but the light coming through made it easy to see that a call had come in.

However, his phone was on silent, and his mind was completely on the game, so he didn't notice for a moment.

Lu Jinyu picked it up and glanced at it.

Aunt Wen made more than a dozen phone calls and sent more than a dozen messages.

Aunt Wen: Xiaoyu, your dad didn't mean it that way, don't overthink it.

[Aunt Wen: If your dad won't give it to you, I'll give it to you secretly. Answer the phone so I don't worry, okay?]

Just as Lu Jinyu was about to reply, Wen Keke called again, and he answered the phone.

"Xiaoyu, where are you?" Wen Keke's voice was trembling and choked with sobs.

"I'm at an internet cafe, don't worry," Lu Jinyu said with a smile, trying to comfort her.

"How could I not be worried?"

Wen Keke burst into tears, "I've called you so many times and you didn't answer, and you didn't reply to my messages either."

Mom said that one of her colleagues' children had an argument with her parents and then jumped into the river…

Lu Jinyu could even picture her with snot and tears streaming down her face.

He felt a warmth in his heart, and his voice softened, "I was playing a game and didn't notice."

Wen Keke was slightly relieved.

"Then you're not allowed to think nonsense, and you shouldn't argue with Dad, okay?"

"I've saved up a lot of money, if Dad won't give it to you, I will..."

Lu Jinyu listened patiently to Wen Keke's words.

He wanted to say that he hadn't argued with his father at all, but he just couldn't stand his father's bossy attitude.

Lu Jianguo is just his father, not his boss.

I am not his possession, so why should I follow the path he gave me?

But when the words reached his lips, only a soft whisper escaped:

"Um."

"I'll hang up now. I need to call my mom back; she and my dad are so worried." Wen Keke sniffled.

"it is good."

Lu Jinyu responded.

After hanging up the phone, he swiped around a few times, not expecting that someone else had also called him many times.

It's Senior Nangong.
