Chapter 35: dusk, sunset

Lu Yanhe sighed and could only become more cautious.

After applying iodine, he picked up the Yunnan Baiyao powder.

"This is also a bit painful, just bear with it."

Lu Yanhe gave instructions in advance.

Chen Siqi bit her lip and hummed.

Despite being warned in advance, Chen Siqi still couldn't help herself the moment the powder was sprinkled on the wound. She frowned, clenched her teeth, and hummed a few times.

Lu Yanhe put gauze on her.

"Okay, I've taken care of it briefly," he said. "You can ask your family to take a look at it when you get home."

A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Chen Siqi's forehead, sparkling in the setting sun.

"Thank you," she said.

"How did you get this injury?" Lu Yanhe put the things into the plastic bag one by one and asked.

"I accidentally scratched it there." Chen Siqi pointed to the roadside flower bed two meters to the left of the steps.

There was a broken tile with a sharp gap.

No wonder it shaved so hard.

Lu Yanhe said, "You can even scrape this much? How much effort did you put in to make such a big cut?"

Chen Siqi moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she said nothing.

She was embarrassed to say that she suddenly saw Li Lin right next to her and wanted to avoid her in a hurry. When she raised her leg to turn around, she was suddenly hit.

Why do I subconsciously want to avoid Li Lin when I see her?

Chen Siqi was unwilling to admit that she was avoiding Li Lin.

"Where is your driver? Didn't he come to pick you up today?" Lu Yanhe asked.

"I sent my dad to the airport and took a taxi back by myself." said Chen Siqi.

"Then you look like this now--" Lu Yanhe's eyes fell on the gauze on Chen Siqi's foot.

Chen Siqi said: "It's not as painful as before. I just need to rest for a while."

She suddenly remembered something.

"Thank you so much for just now."

"You already thanked me."

Chen Siqi said "oh".

She lowered her head and folded her hands on her knees.

"So you don't attend evening self-study here at night," Lu Yanhe asked. "Last time, you said you asked Xu Zijun for answers not to copy her answers, so what was your reason?"

Chen Siqi glared at him, "Why do you still remember this?"

"Out of curiosity, if you really don't want to say it, forget it."

Chen Siqi was silent for a long time before speaking.

"I just want to make sure my answers are correct. I can't fail the test. I can't let that woman Liu Wei'an make a fool of herself."

Lu Yanhe didn't know what to feel for a moment.

Did Liu Wei'an actually bring such a huge psychological shadow to Chen Siqi?

"All right."

Lu Yanhe saw the bus he was going to take coming.

However, he took a look and then looked away, continuing to sit on the steps with Chen Siqi.

The two were silent for a while.

Chen Siqi asked: "Do you like being a star?"

Lu Yanhe chuckled in his heart and thought, he had never really done it, so how would he know.

"Being a celebrity... I haven't been one for many days," he said tactfully. "I can't say whether I like it or not. I only participated in that talent show to make money in the first place."

"Did you make money?" Chen Siqi asked again.

Lu Yanhe pointed at himself helplessly and said, "Do you think that if I make money, I'll still covet the appearance fee from your birthday party?"

Chen Siqi: “…That’s right.”

Lu Yanhe suddenly smiled, although it was a bit inappropriate to laugh at this time.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Siqi asked.

Lu Yanhe said, "I just suddenly thought of the appearance fee you gave me. Thanks to that money, I'm not so strapped for cash for the time being."

Chen Siqi looked at him in surprise.

"Are you so poor?"

"Yeah." Lu Yanhe said, "It's not easy to be a washed-up idol."

"You actually think you're a washed-up idol?" Chen Siqi glanced at him. "It feels like you've never really been popular."

"It was okay when I participated in the talent show. After all, I was voted in by fans."

"That's not because everyone thinks your life story is pitiful. I saw some people online saying that you made your way to fame by playing the victim." Chen Siqi said immediately.

After she finished speaking, Chen Siqi regretted it. It seemed like she shouldn't have said that to Lu Yanhe's face. When Lu Yanhe participated in the talent show, he gained a group of fans who felt sorry for him because he lost both his parents when he was young and came from a poor rural family. This made him the contestant with the most miserable life experience, and because it caused heated discussions online, the production team repeatedly brought it up and exaggerated it. However, in the years that followed, people would occasionally bring up this incident, and it became fodder for satirizing Lu Yanhe, attacking him from all sides for playing the victim, and then using his current downfall to attack him - artists who rely on hype to debut, their popularity won't last long.

In fact, in Chen Siqi's opinion, what the other person said was correct.

Lu Yanhe can't sing or dance, he doesn't have any talent, and he's even more clueless when recording shows. He has no variety show talent at all, and he's just a complete fool who accidentally entered the entertainment industry.

But the truth is not good to say it in front of others.

Chen Siqi has always been cold and arrogant in front of others, but at this moment she also felt a little regretful in her heart.

What nonsense are you talking about!

"Playing the victim, haha, okay, they're not wrong." Lu Yanhe shrugged. "But I'm not playing the victim either. My past life was miserable. Who wants to live a miserable life without their parents by their side?"

At this moment, there are quite a few pedestrians coming and going on this road.

A pair of young students sat on the steps by the roadside, not attracting many people's attention.

This evening, the light was dimmed by the rich orange-red color, and it was difficult to see other people's faces clearly.

Only the students from No. 13 Middle School noticed them and recognized that the man was Lu Yanhe.

Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yanhe's expressionless face and wanted to apologize, but couldn't say it.

After struggling for a while, she said, "You're not the only one who's miserable. Am I not miserable too?"

Surprisingly, Lu Yanhe understood the apology behind Chen Siqi's words.

I don't want to apologize directly, so I use these words to comfort him.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "You are at least competing with your stepmother in a wealthy family, while I am struggling to make a living from the hands of fate that I cannot control. The difficulty is completely different. Don't compete with me, Your Highness."

A warm breeze happened to blow over.

The sycamore trees on the roadside rustled in the wind.

Chen Siqi's face froze for a moment: "What kind of master is this, Gong... Gong!"

If the orange-red sunset had not happened to shine on her face, Lu Yanhe would have noticed that her cheeks were a little red.

"A small metaphor." Lu Yanhe smiled slightly. "How are your legs? Can you walk?"

Chen Siqi's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and she immediately stood up. "I'm fine now. I'll call a car and go back."

She didn't even dare to look into Lu Yanhe's eyes.
