Chapter 695: Good friends, autumn outing, buying a car
Zhou Chen looked at the phone that had been hung up, wondering what was going on with Lin Luoxue.
They have been classmates for more than two months. He has had more interactions with Lin Luoxue among his classmates. Among girls, he is second only to Gu Yixin who often helps him with work, so their relationship is not bad.
When I first watched the TV series, from a God's perspective, I felt that Lin Luoxue was too good at pretending, flirting with people everywhere, and was too tea-like, which made people dislike her.
But after really getting along, you will find that Lin Luoxue, a girl, really has a high emotional intelligence. At this age, many times she knows how to deal with the world better than people who have been in society for many years.
You may not like such a person, but it is also difficult to dislike him.
Because when you get along with her, she always thinks more than you do and always goes along with you. With all this, how can you still hate her?
Keep running…
When Lin Luoxue came to the playground, she glanced around and quickly saw Zhou Chen running.
She did not go over to disturb him, but folded her arms and stood quietly looking at Zhou Chen who was running.
She was in a very bad mood at this time, very bad, because Ren Yifan had just found her and said a lot of outrageous things to her, which made her very sad.
Her childhood experiences made her mentally very strong, and ordinary words could not shake her strong heart.
But although Ren Yifan's words contained no curse words or insults, she suffered a heavy blow. For this reason, her eyes were still red at this time.
She admitted that at the beginning, she did contact Lu Qiaochuan with impure purposes, but after getting along with him for a long time, she really wanted to be friends with Lu Qiaochuan.
It was precisely because of this that Ren Yifan's words had such power over her.
Although she smiles every day and seems to have a good relationship with everyone, she knows that her 'friends' are not real friends at all, so she is particularly eager to have a real friend.
The appearance of Lu Qiaochuan gave her hope, so she has been very careful to maintain it.
But today, she was suddenly broken by Ren Yifan, and one can imagine the pain in her heart.
She didn't want others to see her embarrassment, but she also longed for someone to comfort her and accompany her.
After thinking for a long time, she realized that she really didn't seem to have a close friend. The only boy who had a good relationship with her and didn't have that kind of concern for her was Zhou Chen.
So as if she had grasped the last straw, she immediately called Zhou Chen.
When she came to the playground and saw Zhou Chen running, she suddenly didn't feel as panicked and sad as before.
Looking at Zhou Chen running, Lin Luoxue suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, then turned and walked out of the playground.
After Zhou Chen ran five laps, he began to slow down and finally stopped running, walking step by step on the track.
When he walked to the track on the south side of the playground, he saw Lin Luoxue standing there, holding a bottle of mineral water in her hand and waving to him.
Zhou Chen walked over, took the mineral water from Lin Luoxue's hand, and drank more than half of the bottle before stopping.
"When did you come?"
Lin Luoxue smiled and said, "I saw you running around a lot, so I bought you a bottle of water. How about it? Am I very considerate?"
"Okay."
Zhou Chen tightened the bottle cap and was suddenly stunned for a moment and asked, "Did you cry just now?"
"ah?"
Lin Luoxue touched her face nervously: "How could you tell? I've already touched up my makeup."
"Your eyes are still a little red, and if you come to me at this time, something must be wrong. Tell me, who can let you be wronged by someone like you, Bi Shisan?"
Zhou Chen was very surprised. This woman's endurance was extraordinary. Apart from "White Moonlight" Bi Shisan, there were probably not many people who could hit him.
Lin Luoxue smiled and said, "Stop talking about those unhappy things, I'll treat you to dinner."
"I've already eaten it all."
"After you've eaten, eat some more. If you don't want to eat, just sit next to me and watch me eat."
In front of Zhou Chen, Lin Luoxue was very relaxed.
Zhou Chen did not refuse this time: "My body smells like sweat. If you don't mind it, then let's go."
"Isn't the smell of sweat a manly smell?" Lin Luoxue asked.
"Haha, in your mind, does manly smell smell?"
"That's not true. You see, Brother Hao smells delicious every day."
"He made it with money. It has nothing to do with whether he is masculine or not."
…………
Zhou Chen had dinner with Lin Luoxue and walked around on the road again. When they arrived at school and were about to say goodbye, Lin Luoxue suddenly stopped Zhou Chen.
"Zhou Chen, can I ask you a question? You have to answer me seriously."
Seeing Lin Luoxue's extremely serious expression, Zhou Chen was surprised. This was the first time he saw Lin Luoxue talking to him so seriously.
"go ahead."
"Are we friends? Or, would you like to be friends with me? The kind of good friend who can give his sincerity."
"That's the question? It scared me to death. I thought you were going to ask me if I would like to be your boyfriend."
Lin Luoxue rolled her eyes, "Can you stop being so poor? Answer my question seriously."
Looking at Lin Luoxue's nervous and expectant look, is this "Cute and Poor" Lin Luoxue online?
Zhou Chen replied: "Although you are a bit fake and have many problems, if we are friends, it should still be good. So, I am willing. We are friends now."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand.
"Hello, good friend."
Lin Luoxue showed an extremely bright smile, stretched out her hand with joy, and held Zhou Chen's hand tightly.
"Hello, good friend."
This was the first time someone had sincerely told her to be a good friend in front of him, without any other thoughts, which made her feel particularly happy.
"However, you just said that I was fake, and I will also give you this sentence. In fact, in the eyes of many people, you are also very good at pretending. Some people in our class don't like you."
Zhou Chen shrugged and said with an indifferent expression: "Just pretend, life is like a play, everyone likes money. As a human being, no matter how good you are, there will always be people who don't like you.
Let’s not talk about distant places, let’s just talk about our dormitory. Because of your relationship, Jiang Yunming has stopped talking to me recently, almost like an enemy.”
"Then do you want me to help you explain?"
"Forget it, if you tell me, you may misunderstand me even more. It's fine now. If the relationship is not good, there is no need to force them to get together."
Although they were in the same dormitory, Zhou Chen didn't really care about the quarrel with Jiang Yunming.
Just because he watched a movie and had a meal with Lin Luoxue, he started to be hostile to him, and even wanted to win over Wang Xiang and Tang Qiang to isolate him. It's okay not to have roommates like this.
If the dispute is really too tense, the worst he can do is find Ye Jiping to change dormitories in a while. In his eyes, this is really not a big deal.
Before leaving, Lin Luoxue said to Zhou Chen gratefully: "Zhou Chen, thank you for being willing to be my good friend."
Zhou Chen smiled back, waved his hand and left.
In the new week, the activities in the electrophotography class suddenly increased.
According to what Lu Qiaochuan said, he was ordered by the class teacher, saying that it was halfway through the semester and the class had not held any activities, so group activities must be held in the near future.
Unfortunately, the activities held for several days ended in failure.
Zhou Chen naturally participated in these several activities. At that time, he felt that it was embarrassing, too embarrassing. It would be weird if such an activity could be successful.
In the past few days, Lu Qiaochuan's hair was turning gray, and he tried his best to continue doing activities, but now his classmates no longer gave him face.
On the rooftop of the teaching building, a melancholy Lu Qiaochuan was lying on the railing, with Lin Luoxue standing next to him.
"I think you can ask Zhou Chen for help. He is so smart, he might be able to think of good activities."
Lu Qiaochuan was unmoved. He had a good relationship with Zhou Chen. Logically speaking, if he asked other people for help, he should also ask Zhou Chen.
But he was reluctant to ask Zhou Chen for help because he found that Lin Luoxue and Zhou Chen had been very close recently. Lin Luoxue smiled more when she was with Zhou Chen than when she was with him.
This made him very happy.
"No need, I'll think about it carefully and I'll find a solution."
Lin Luoxue was very surprised by Lu Qiaochuan's reaction, but she didn't say this again. Instead, she said, "Then it seems you need me to help you."
She still values Lu Qiaochuan as a friend and sincerely wants to do something for Lu Qiaochuan.
The last professional class this week ended, and Ye Jiping stood on the podium.
"Since the midterm is approaching, you should have papers due in several classes, so for the next four weeks, you can submit your assignments every two weeks."
"yeah."
"oh."
"..."
Huge cheers rang out in the classroom. What is the happiest thing about being a student?
Not having to hand in homework should definitely be at the top of the list.
Ye Jiping looked at the cheering crowd with a smile. He had also been a student, so he understood why everyone was so happy.
At this moment, Lin Luoxue, as the deputy squad leader, suddenly stood up and faced everyone.
"Everyone, if you don't have to be busy taking photos on the weekend, why don't we go on an outing together?"
Jiang Yunming, Lin Luoxue's number one dog licker, was the first to stand up and raised his hand in response: "I agree, do you agree or not?"
"I agree." "I have no objection either." "The outing should be quite interesting."
Many people expressed their agreement, and many people were interested in going out to play.
Ye Jiping quickly shouted: "I don't accept homework so that you have more time to write papers, not to let you go out and play."
Lu Qiaochuan immediately raised his hand and said, "Teacher Ye, our class hasn't gone out to play together yet. Besides, autumn is coming soon. If we don't have an outing, we won't have the chance."
"Who said that? Did you go out to take photos together not long ago?"
As soon as Ye Jiping spoke, he encountered strong resistance from everyone.
"Holy crap, does that count as going out for fun?"
"That's to finish the homework and take pictures, okay."
"Who carries a camera weighing more than ten kilograms to play?"
"Yes, I want to go on an outing."
"I want to go too……"
When he saw the strong opposition from everyone, Ye Jiping immediately gave up.
"Look at you, I didn't say I disagreed."
Seeing that Ye Jiping no longer objected, Lin Luoxue said with a smile: "Then the squad leader and I will organize it. Tomorrow is the weekend. We will leave tomorrow. We can just play for two days and stay for two days. Get up early and go back to school on Monday. What do you think?
How about it?"
Everyone cheered loudly, and then rushed to leave one by one, going back to the dormitory to pack their things and leave for the autumn outing tomorrow.
In the blink of an eye, most of the people in the classroom left, leaving only a few people.
Lu Qiaochuan, Lin Luoxue, Xiao Haiyang, Zhong Bai, and Zhou Chen didn't leave either, because he still had something to say.
When Zhong Bai saw that everyone had almost left, he stood up and came to Luqiaochuan.
"Lu Qiaochuan, I have something to tell you. Let's talk about it first. I don't mean anything else."
Lu Qiaochuan said: "Okay, you can tell me."
Zhong Bai said: "Isn't it a bit too risky for you to organize everyone to go on an autumn outing at this time?"
"Why do you say that?"
"It's midterm now. There are already a lot of essay assignments, and there is also the CET-4 exam. We organize everyone to go out for fun at this time. What if everyone fails the exam in the end?"
Lu Qiaochuan said nonchalantly: "Don't come here. Why didn't I realize that you attached so much importance to study before? The CET-4 exam is in mid-December, so it's still early."
Zhong Bai emphasized: "The key is that Level 4 does not have a degree certificate."
Lu Qiaochuan didn't take it seriously at all: "How difficult can it be to be a Level 4 person?"
At this time, Xiao Haiyang, who had also not left, suddenly said: "I have a say in this. Level 4 is really difficult. I have failed the test four times. The closest one I took was five points short..."
Okay, okay, Xiao Haiyang talked about a lot of his past sad experiences, mainly emphasizing how difficult CET-4 is.
Xiao Haiyang's words gave Zhong Bai confidence.
"You heard it, right? So organizing everyone to go on an autumn outing on the weekend is a waste of time."
But Lu Qiaochuan was not swayed by Xiao Haiyang's words, and still said: "The CET-4 exam is in mid-December, which is still more than a month away. We only went out for two days, and we didn't stay for a long time. Why do you think so?"
How much?"
Lin Luoxue suddenly looked at Zhong Bai and asked, "Is it because I am among the organizers?"
Lu Qiaochuan was about to retort, but Zhong Bai said firmly: "Yes."
Then she said to Lu Qiaochuan: "Lu Qiaochuan, you have to think clearly. Autumn outings are not a matter stipulated by the school, and they are not within the scope of the school. If you take so many people out for two days and two nights, what if something goes wrong in the middle?"
No matter what happens, no matter who is the original proposer, your monitor will be held responsible in the end. Can you bear this responsibility?"
She felt that she knew Lu Qiaochuan and felt that Lu Qiaochuan could not bear such pressure, so she wanted to use this method to force Lu Qiaochuan to compromise.
But Lu Qiaochuan was beyond her expectation this time.
"Thank you for your suggestion, but I don't think there will be any problems."
Xiao Haiyang said: "It's hard to say."
"I……"
Listening to their endless chatter here, Zhou Chen really couldn't bear to listen anymore and stood up abruptly.
The sound of tables and chairs colliding attracted the attention of Lu Qiaochuan and others. The four of them couldn't help but look at Zhou Chen. Only then did they realize that there was still one person in the classroom who was still there.
Under their shocked gazes, Zhou Chen walked over.
"Monitor, let me tell you, unfortunately, I have to take the driver's license test tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in this autumn outing."
It's not that he deliberately shirks it, but he really has to take the exam, which is subject three and four. After completing the exam, he can get his driver's license.
Before Lu Qiaochuan could speak, Lin Luoxue stood up.
"Is it such a coincidence?"
"Yes, it's such a coincidence."
"Then let's change it to next week."
"That's not necessary. You saw everyone's attitude just now. If I changed the time, I would definitely be scolded to death, so there's no need."
Lin Luoxue was a little depressed, and then said: "Then you can finish the exam and take the car there by yourself. We have to stay there for two days and two nights anyway."
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "That's not necessary. I happened to have other things to do after I took the exam, so I really won't participate this time. I will tell you that you don't need to pay attention to me. That's it. I'll leave first."
Already."
After saying that, he waved to the four people and left the classroom.
Seeing Zhou Chen leaving, Zhong Bai said, "As you can see, even Zhou Chen doesn't want to go."
Lu Qiaochuan became angry: "Zhou Chen doesn't go because he has something to do. Besides, if he doesn't go, can't we go by ourselves?"
"You are using strong words to make sense."
"…………"
Not long after Zhou Chen left the teaching building, Lin Luoxue caught up with him.
"Zhou Chen, wait for me."
"Why don't you want to go to the autumn outing? Don't give me any excuses for exams."
Zhou Chen said: "It's not an excuse. In addition to taking the driver's license test, I also have to buy a car and go through the formalities. It takes time, so I don't have time to go on an autumn outing with you."
"You want to buy a car?" Lin Luoxue was very surprised.
"Yes, it's more convenient to have a car. Otherwise, you have to take a taxi to find a car when you go out. It's a waste of time."
Lin Luoxue didn't know what to say. They were all still thinking about studying and playing, but Zhou Chen was already planning to buy a car. Is this the joy of having the financial power?
Early the next morning, twenty-three students in the electrophotography class, including Zhou Chen and class teacher Ye Jiping, a total of twenty-four people, took a bus and headed for the autumn outing.
As for Zhou Chen, he also went out early, but he didn't go alone, he also brought another person with him.
"You said you were the same. This weekend, you won't sleep in the dormitory and you have to go to the exam with me."
The person following Zhou Chen was Ren Yifan. He originally wanted to go on an autumn outing with Lu Qiaochuan and the others, but unfortunately, he was ruthlessly rejected by Lu Qiaochuan again.
So he sent a message to Zhou Chen and learned that Zhou Chen would not be going to the autumn outing today, but was going to take the driving school test, so he volunteered and insisted on going with Zhou Chen.
"I'm studying with you. I'm going to apply for a driver's license during the summer vacation. Now I just want to get used to it in advance."
"You can't get in either. It's a waste of time to adapt."
"I'll just take a look outside. Maybe we can have a romantic encounter."
"It's up to you. After the exam, I have to go to the 4S shop to look at the car."
"Are you going to buy a car?" Ren Yifan's expression was very similar to Lin Luoxue's yesterday, with the same disbelief.
"Well, prepare to pick up a mobility scooter."
Ren Yifan was very excited: "Then I can provide you with advice. I still have a little knowledge about cars."
Zhou Chen looked suspicious: "If you say you have research on women, how much can I believe it? You have research on cars. To be honest, I really don't believe it."
"Don't look down on people so much. Just tell me what price of car you want to buy, and I promise to list a few for you."
"I don't have much money, and I plan to buy a B-class car worth about 200,000 yuan. Can you give me some advice?"
"It's more than 200,000 yuan. I think Camry and Accord are good. Atez has a good appearance. For SUVs, you can choose CR-V. And..."
"Oh, I didn't realize it, but you really know how to drive."
Zhou Chen was really surprised. He started researching cars in his freshman year and could name many brands casually. It was really not easy.
When buying a car, Zhou Chen doesn't care too much about which country it is made in. As long as it's cost-effective, looks good, is easy to drive, and has few problems, he will buy it.
Several of the cars Ren Yifan mentioned are indeed relatively well-known, and some of them are within his consideration range.
"Wait until I finish the exam first, then go to the store to have a look. If it's suitable, I'll buy one."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and start walking."
Subjects three and four were within easy reach for Zhou Chen. After finishing the exam in the afternoon, he got his driver's license.
Ren Yifan, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, pulled Zhou Chen straight to the 4S store after he came out.
After looking around, Ren Yifan valued Accord, CR-V and Atez, while Zhou Chen was torn between Accord and Camry.
That is to say, he does not have enough funds, otherwise, he would not buy a car at this price.
In the end, Zhou Chen chose the Accord. After making the decision, he paid the money on the spot, paid all the fees, and quickly got the new car and temporary license plate.
Although Zhou Chen was not a professional driver, he still had a deep understanding of the car after driving it for so many years. He checked it carefully and made sure that there was nothing wrong with the car and that it was a new car. Then he drove the car and left with Ren Yifan.
"Hyun, Zhou Chen, you are so awesome. You already have your own car in your freshman year."
On the road, I opened the car window and felt the autumn wind, and Ren Yifan screamed excitedly.
Although his family is well off, he still doesn't have a car of his own so far, so after seeing Zhou Chen get his own car, he was very envious and excited.
"It's just a car. If you get your driver's license, I can lend it to you to drive."
Zhou Chen, who has already regarded Ren Yifan as a friend, will naturally not be stingy with a car. As long as he gives him a few more months, he can earn several such cars.
Ren Yifan sighed: "If I had known I would have learned to drive with you, it would have been easier to have a girlfriend in college if there was a car."
Zhou Chen was speechless: "Do you only think about those things all day long?"
Ren Yifan asked back: "Don't you want to?"
This is a big deal for Zhou Chen. He is also a man, so how could he not want to do it?
Even though he has had many women, he still has random thoughts every night, after all, he is so young and full of energy.
