Li Bo came over angrily. Looking at Zhang Cheng’s confused expression, he couldn’t help but ask angrily: “Did she say you have a bloody disaster?”

Zhang Cheng suddenly realized when he saw Li Bo’s angry expression: “She told you that too?”

“What a liar!” Li Bo was indignant: “I was blinded by her otherworldly temperament. She wanted to cheat me of money, saying that she can resolve it for me if I pay 2,000 yuan.”

Zhang Cheng’s expression was somewhat calm: “She didn’t ask me for money but told me that a gentleman stays away from dangerous situations, and I should stay away from walls.”

Li Bo felt even more irritated. He felt that Lin Qingyin treated him like a fool from the beginning. As for her previous statement that his father had been seriously injured in the leg, Li Bo felt that she might have heard of it. Speaking of which, it was still in the first half of the year. At that time, he deliberately took a leave of absence to go home for a month. Maybe Lin Qingyin heard about it and wanted to cheat him of money.

Li Bo scratched his bird’s nest like hair in anger and then flatten his hair to his forehead, blocking the top of his eyebrows firmly: “Let’s go, let’s go back to the dormitory!”

The welcoming party was over, and after two days of class, it was the National Day holiday. Both Li Bo and Zhang Cheng were not locals. They were far away from home, and their family background was very ordinary. Except for the winter and summer vacations, the two of them spend all their vacations at school.

Li Bo’s dormitory room was a dormitory for six people. Some people go home after the National Day in the dormitory, and some go to work-study programs. However, these two people, regardless of having a tight life, don’t have the face to go out to work. If people will ask Lin Qingyin why they will learn that the growth experience of these two people was very similar. Li Bo and Zhang Cheng have been living industrious life since they were young. From studying in the small county in high school to entering the Imperial Capital University, they were regarded as a good example from the area in their hometown. They were always being used as a role model by the teachers and neighborhood to educate their children.

Because Li Bo’s parents were not literate, they have been doing the hardest work but earned the least wages. So the family hopes that he can get into a good university and change the fate of the family. Li Bo lived up to expectations and was admitted to the best university in China, but the pressure from his family and the shadow of poverty on him have been imprinted in his bones. He felt too inferior. He dare not be as open-minded as other students, working as a tutor or other jobs in the school, for fear that others will see that his family’s conditions were not good.

Zhang Cheng’s family conditions can be said to be a little better than other students, but he was better than Li Bo. Since he was a child, his family only let him study, and in school, the teachers pampered him because of his good grades. When he went to college, he also tried to be a tutor with great interest, but because he couldn’t stand hardship, he stopped. So these two people hit it off in the dormitory and had the best relationship.

They didn’t go home for the seven-day long vacation, but there was nothing to do at the school. The two of them didn’t want to stay at school and took the bus to play outside. In fact, there were too many tourist spots to visit during the holiday in the Imperial City. The two didn’t go to the urban area but went to the suburbs where there were few people.

It was quite cold in the morning when the two of them went out, but it became hot at noon. The two of them were thirsty and hot, but they had to walk for another ten minutes to get to the bus stop. Li Bo stood in the shade of the tree and looked around. His eyes fell on the fence behind him.
