Chapter 711: Youth. Junior Year

ack to Zhuyuan, I'll wait for you by your car."After finishing typing, she shoved the phone back into Shu Tinglan's hand."You go with Director Xiao, I'll wait for Mr. Zhuo."Lin Zhi's figure disappeare...Throughout her life, Gu Jia had never been cared for by her family. This funeral felt more like a social gathering for the Gu family. 。Many of Mr. Gu's old friends came to pay their respects, and Mr. and Mrs. Gu were busy chatting with them to mend relationships. 。And Gu Ruandong was already involved in most of the business of Gu's Group at that time. Besides, all his friends from various circles had also come. He was too busy to take care of anything else. 。At the funeral, everyone wore black except Lu Kuo and Ruan Ruan, who were dressed in white, making them stand out. 。When evening came, another student in school uniform arrived, Lu Yaoyao. 。A girl in junior high school, already tall and graceful, felt a little scared when she came in and saw this sea of people. 。She walked towards Lu Kuo and Ruan Ruan with her backpack on, head bowed and mumbling quietly, afraid that anyone would look at her. 。Unexpectedly, I bumped into someone head-on, almost falling. Luckily, they helped me up by my backpack. 。She straightened up, her gaze locked on the black shirt in front of her. Looking up slightly higher, she met a pair of eyes that seemed to smile yet not smile, staring right back at her. 。"Child, you've taken a wrong turn."

Lu YaoYao couldn't help but glare at him. She wasn't a child anymore, and she hadn't taken the wrong turn. She was here to see Ruan Ruan. 。After he finished staring, he saw the group of menacing figures behind him. At one glance, they didn't look like good people at all. He was frightened and his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly ran to find Lu Kuo and Ruan Ruan. 。As soon as she saw Ruanruan, she started to cry again, even though she had already tried not to. 。Put yourself in her shoes, if her own grandfather passed away, she would probably faint from grief. It's just too heartbreaking to even think about. 。Ruannuan had no more tears left, only her eyes were red and swollen, sitting quietly wrapped in the blanket Lu Kuo had sent her. 。I'll send you home to rest. 。Lu Kuo said 。Tomorrow is the official funeral day. Seeing her like this, she won't be able to walk tomorrow. 。

Ruan Ruan shook her head, unwilling to go home. She wanted to stay here and accompany her grandfather for one last night. 。Lü Yáo, usually timid, had never stayed overnight in a mourning hall before. But for Ruǎnruǎn, she bravely told Lü Kuò, "Brother, you go back. I'll stay here with Ruǎnruǎn." 。Lu Kuo was speechless. The air here was thick with smoke and haze; he couldn't bear to let Lu Yaoyao spend the night here. 。

"Will we still have school tomorrow You go home, I'll stay here with her" 。Lu Kuo was the final word on this matter. He called his driver to take Lu Yaoyao away and stayed with Ruan Ruan for the night. 。In the middle of the night, I received a message from Zhuo Yu'an. It was very simple: I'm back. 。"Where are you going back to" He hadn't slept all night, his mind still a little fuzzy. 。Zhu Yu'an replied: "I was in China these past few days, now I'm heading back to school, the plane is about to take off." 。"Lu Kuo reacted and couldn't help but scold, "Zhuo Y uan, are you sick You came back to the country without even telling me"

"See you next time I come back" 。Lu Kuo didn't reply to the message, and the two hadn't seen each other in two years. He returned to China without even saying a word in advance. 。Lu Kuo hadn't replied. After about ten minutes, Zhuo Yunan sent another message: "I went to Senzhou to see her, but I didn't meet her." 。"This was Zhu Yuyan's first time taking the initiative to bring up Ting Lan to Lu Kuo. A simple sentence, yet it revealed the endless regret and melancholy in his heart. " 。Lu Kuo was speechless again: "If you had told me in advance, I could have made an appointment for you. You wouldn't have missed even a single meeting." 。Yes, Zhuo Yu'an had rushed back impulsively at the time, his heart full of joy wanting to share it with her. He was a bit stubborn and waited for her in the cafe. 。Of course, even if Lu Kuò makes an appointment, he may not be able to get ahold of someone. 。。Lu Kuo was inexplicably at this funeral, accompanying a strange little girl, and inexplicably received a text message from Zhuo Yu'an. He felt everything was so inexplicable. 。In the middle of the night, Ruanruan beside him had already fallen asleep leaning against the wall. He went out to get some fresh air. 。In the night, Gu Ruan Dong was seen leaning against a trash can smoking. The flames flickered on and off, making his face indistinct to see. 。Though they were the same age, Lu Kuo still looked like a student, while Gu Ruandong had an air of complexity that surpassed his years. 。Seeing Lu Kuo come out, he raised an eyebrow and handed him a cigarette. 。Lu Kuo shook his head: "I'm a three-good youth, I don't smoke. " 。Gu Ruandong smiled faintly, it was unclear if it was a genuine smile or a sarcastic one. He didn't speak, crushed the cigarette in his hand, and turned back to the spirit hall. 。The excitement of the day has died down, now only a few close friends are here, gathered around a table playing cards, occasionally letting out a few curses. 。And his parents went home to rest after a tiring day. 。Lu Kuo took a breath of fresh air outside and returned to the spirit hall when his mood had improved. 。Ruan Ruan woke up at some unknown time, sitting straight. When she saw him come in, the tense look on her face relaxed a bit. 。Lu Kuò sat down beside her. Seeing her, he thought of his younger sister Lu Yáo Yáo and sighed in his heart. 。While we are all the same age, our life experiences are vastly different. 。"You sleep. I won't go out." 。He comforted 。

Ruan Ruan leaned back against the wall and closed her eyes to sleep, clutching Lu Kuai's shirt tightly in one hand. Lu Kuai was oblivious, exhausted as he was, leaning against the wall asleep as well. 。Later on, Lu Kuò quickly forgot about it because after the funeral the next day, he returned to school. 。After a long weekend back home, I saw Lu YaoYao crying hysterically. Upon asking, I learned that her only and best friend, Gu RuRu, had gone abroad for studies, leaving her without any friends now. 。In this regard, Lu Kuo could relate to some extent. When his best friend Zhu Yu'an went abroad to study, he had also felt down for a while. 。Come on, brother, I'll take you to eat something delicious. 。"She looked truly heartbroken, so he tried to comfort her." 。Both siblings were carefree people. After a meal, they went home and their moods improved. 。Anyway, in three years I'll be leaving too. 。Then I can see Ruan again. 。Lu Yaoyao comforted herself. 。By then Lu Kuo was already a junior, continuing to coast through life, occasionally going to Qining to see Cheng Chen. This was the only thing he still insisted on doing. 。Everything else is just doing things halfheartedly. 。While Zhuo Yuan was abroad, it is said that his Zhuoyuan Technology has made considerable progress and has attracted the attention of many investment companies. Even his uncle Lu Shaoxing is very optimistic about him and wants to go abroad in person to discuss investment with Zhuo Yuan. 。At that time, Tinglan was studying and working part-time at Senzhou University, her life gradually returning to a state of normalcy. 。The only concern was her mother's work; she was caring for a cantankerous elderly woman who lived alone, and the woman's children were all away. So they offered a salary that was far higher than market rate. 。Tinglan advised her mother many times not to do these hard jobs. In fact, the family's original savings were enough for her mother's living expenses. 。But Mom always says, "Just hold on for two more years, when you graduate I'll buy you a house in Senzhou, then Mom will be at ease." 。But over the years, house prices in Senzhou skyrocketed. The savings they had accumulated were almost enough to buy a house outright, but now they could only afford a down payment. 。Kuokuzi is actually very warm-hearted, Ruanruan's love for him is not without reason. 。ently."Do you know him""Does it matter""So Mom, you're not doing this for my feelings, or for my future happiness. You're doing it for revenge against Wen Lan and Wen Jian, aren't you You just want to...
