Chapter 17: Collect money from others and share their worries

As classmates at No. 13 Middle School, Lin Yu and Chen Qin looked in surprise at their classmate whom they had known for more than two years but were not familiar with at all. They could never have imagined that Xu Zijun was so familiar with Chen Siqi.

Only Lu Yanhe reacted immediately and realized that this person was his "colleague".

I don’t know how much the appearance fee was.

The tricks are quite fancy, he cheats and gives answers to others, and pretends to be a friend.

Lu Yanhe smiled at Xu Zijun.

Xu Zijun's eyes met Lu Yanhe's and he immediately looked away.

In this occasion where Chen Siqi is the protagonist but not Chen Siqi's main turf, the appearance of several young students is just a small episode.

The adults quickly turned their attention back to talking about their own things.

In this big social scene, it is not yet time for these young people to become the center of attention.

Chen Siqi was very proud and followed Liu Wei'an as a prop to greet each of her father's partners.

Lu Yanhe and the others can leave the stage and take a short rest.

Li Zhibai asked Lu Yanhe in a low voice: "What were you doing just now?"

Lu Yanhe said, "To help my financial sponsor."

Li Zhibai: "..."

Yan Liang also glanced at Lu Yanhe.

Lin Yu was pulled aside by Du Ruolan's mother to chat, and Chen Qin was ruthlessly abandoned and could only stand with Lu Yanhe and the others.

Chen Qin felt that he was not of the same kind as these three people and didn't know what to say.

Yan Liang said, "Why do I feel like Chen Siqi's stepmother is quite nice to her? She threw such a big party."

Lu Yanhe: "What's good about that? Is this party for Chen Siqi? There are so many people, and 99% of them are not here for Chen Siqi. It's your birthday, and your mom threw a party for you, but everyone who came was here to talk business with your parents. Are you happy?"

He looked at Chen Qin.

"If it were you, would you be happy?"

Chen Qin: "...My parents are ordinary people. When we celebrate our birthdays, no one else will come except our family members."

Lu Yanhe nodded: "Then you are still luckier than me. I hardly ever celebrate my birthday."

Chen Qin was about to say how that was possible, but then he remembered Lu Yanhe's family background and stopped talking.

The identity of a celebrity created many illusions for Lu Yanhe - even though everyone knew that Lu Yanhe's family was from the countryside and his parents died early, everyone subconsciously still thought that Lu Yanhe was not short of money and that he must be happier than ordinary people.

However, from the information exposed about Lu Yanhe on the school forum, it can be seen that even though Lu Yanhe became a celebrity, he did not make much money.

In short, it's not very popular.

Chen Qin didn't know what to say.

But Lu Yanhe did not feel embarrassed or inferior at all.

He turned around and saw that Xu Zijun had hidden in a corner by himself without him noticing.

So he picked up a glass of juice and walked towards Xu Zijun.

"What are you doing sitting in the corner by yourself?"

Suddenly hearing Lu Yanhe's voice, Xu Zijun looked up at Lu Yanhe in surprise.

She didn't know why Lu Yanhe came to her and talked to her.

At school, she has always been a student with a low sense of presence, and almost no one takes the initiative to talk to her.

"I..." Xu Zijun didn't know what to say.

At this time, Lu Yanhe turned around and sat down next to her.

Xu Zijun felt strange and looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise.

Lu Yanhe handed the juice to Xu Zijun and said, "You're sitting here alone, not talking to us. It would be so strange for others to see you. If they found out the truth and knew we weren't Chen Siqi's real friends, it would be so embarrassing."

Xu Zijun didn't say anything.

She just looked at Lu Yanhe in confusion, and the doubts in her heart grew even stronger.

Xu Zijun had been confused since he saw Lu Yanhe on the playground before. When he met Lu Yanhe again today, Xu Zijun was even more confused.

Why does it feel like Lu Yanhe has become a completely different person?

Xu Zijun had never told anyone that she had always felt that Lu Yanhe was very similar to her. She didn't dare to tell anyone this, firstly because no one else could say such a thing, and secondly because others would find it unbelievable. Lu Yanhe was a celebrity after all, while she was just a transparent high school student. Where did she get the confidence to think that Lu Yanhe was so similar to her?

But that's what she thought.

Every time Xu Zijun saw Lu Yanhe when he occasionally came to school for classes, she could see the same inferiority, loneliness and desolation on his face as she did herself.

Maybe it was because like attracts like, or maybe it was some other reason, but in short, Xu Zijun never felt that his feelings were wrong.

But now Lu Yanhe has changed. His career as an artist hasn't improved, and his life hasn't changed at all, but he has changed as a person, becoming more relaxed and indifferent. Xu Zijun has always wished she could be more generous, more carefree, less self-deprecating, and neither humble nor overbearing, but she can't do it.

Why did Lu Yanhe do it so quickly?

Xu Zijun said, "You have so many friends over there, don't worry about me."

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "It's not that I care about you. Like you, I'm here because someone asked me to do this. When we act, we have to give our full performance and not be perfunctory. If you sit here alone, others will mistakenly think you're not familiar with us."

Xu Zijun: "It's okay if others mistakenly think we're unfamiliar with each other."

"Of course it's nothing. You're in the same class as us," Lu Yanhe said. "We need to be more familiar with each other and more friendly so that others won't suspect our relationship with Chen Siqi. Do you know Li Lin?"

"I know him." Xu Zijun asked, "What's wrong?"

"She's been questioning me constantly," Lu Yanhe said. "You have to be careful. She might come and test you soon. She's been trying to prove that Chen Siqi has few friends and poor grades. She wants to expose Chen Siqi's disguise in front of everyone. We're paid to do this, so we have to be professional."

Xu Zijun was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Xu Zijun was puzzled: "Do you like Chen Siqi? Why are you so concerned about her affairs?"

Lu Yanhe: "I'm just taking money and helping people with their worries. Why do you always say I like her? I've only met her twice and you're already saying I like her. What a lie."

Xu Zijun looked at Lu Yanhe with eyes full of disbelief.

"Lu Yanhe, Xu Zijun."

Li Lin suddenly came over and appeared behind them, looking at them both with suspicion.

"When did you become friends with Chen Siqi? Why have I never seen you playing with her at school?" she asked.

Lu Yanhe immediately raised his eyebrows at Xu Zijun, and the meaning of that action was: See, I was right!
