Lu Yanhe thought about it, but couldn't figure out what everyone would discuss.
He had no choice but to go back to his seat and sit down.
But after he sat down, the eyes of the people around him still drifted towards him.
Lu Yanhe had no choice but to turn around and ask the person next to him: "What's going on? Can you explain why everyone is looking at me?"
The next door said, "They were just talking about the live broadcast of your rehearsal footage from last night."
"Ah? What's there to discuss?"
"Talk about the question the host asked you. Didn't she ask if there were a lot of girls in school who liked you? And then she asked if you had a crush on anyone."
"..." Lu Yanhe was inexplicably embarrassed.
The classmate was still very considerate of his feelings and stopped the topic at the right time.
At this time, Li Pengfei came.
As soon as he entered the room, he burst into laughter and said, "Old Lu, what happened to you last night? How did you run into such a stupid host?"
He had such a loud voice that the whole class could hear him when he shouted.
Lu Yanhe: "Please sit down quickly. Stop shouting like a megaphone as soon as you walk in."
Li Pengfei: “…”
School is that kind of place. If there is any news about one person, it will spread throughout the whole school in less than half a day.
Last night’s live interview didn’t actually attract much attention online and wasn’t very popular, but if one classmate posted it to the class group, it meant that all the class groups in the school would forward it to them.
Lu Yanhe is one of the two stars of their No. 13 Middle School, and the other one, Yan Liang, basically never appears in school, so Lu Yanhe naturally becomes the one who attracts the most attention.
Li Pengfei asked, "You're officially recording tonight. Have you decided what you want to sing?"
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded. "We rehearsed yesterday, so of course I've thought it through."
"That's right. Then what time are you leaving?" Li Pengfei asked.
"We have to leave at five o'clock and go get our hair done," said Lu Yanhe.
"The last class is with Lao Lin. She might be sarcastic to you again." Li Pengfei said.
"fine."
Lu Yanhe had a good impression of Mr. Lin, the geography teacher. Although he was blunt and unpleasant, he had good intentions and never deliberately tried to disgust his students.
Before, because Lu Yanhe often didn't come to school, Lin Jue said in front of the whole class, "You are not Lu Yanhe, you don't have to study hard, you can become a star in the future anyway." Lu Yanhe felt uncomfortable when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he realized that no one was targeting him, although these words were definitely dissatisfied with him.
Lin Jue was a relatively old-school teacher who believed that students should stay in school and study hard. Therefore, she couldn't stand Lu Yanhe's previous half-hearted approach to studying. She used Lu Yanhe as an example to say this, hoping to motivate the inattentive students in the class to seize the last chance and work hard.
In the afternoon, after the first class, Lu Yanhe went to Lin Jue's office.
"Teacher Lin." He knocked on the door.
Lin Jue was concentrating on preparing lessons.
She looked up at Lu Yanhe, gave him a look of surprise, and said, "Come in."
When Lu Yanhe approached, she said, "Hello, rare guest. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Lu Yanhe said, "Teacher Lin, I have a program recording tonight, so I need to leave school at 5:00. I can't attend today's geography class. I'm asking for your leave."
"Just ask your class teacher for leave." Lin Jue said directly.
"Yes, I have already asked. Since this is your class, I came to tell you specifically."
Lin Jue's expression eased a little at this moment.
"You came to tell me this specifically. It seems you respect me, Teacher Lin, quite a bit."
"I've always respected you," Lu Yanhe said. "I want to improve my grades. Please give me more guidance in the future."
A look of relief flashed across Lin Jue's eyes.
"It's a good idea. I saw your last test results, and you've made great progress. However, it gets harder to improve as time goes on, especially with your foundation." Lin Jue asked, "You're going to take the art exam in the future. The academic score requirement isn't high. If you study hard, it won't be difficult to get into a good acting school."
-
There are still many people who think that Lu Yanhe will take the art exam.
Lu Yanhe would explain before, but he won’t do that now.
It doesn’t matter whether others understand these things or not. He has only one goal, which is to pass the college entrance examination and get into a good university.
If Lu Yanhe had this idea before, it was because he had no way out in his previous situation and only this way had hope, now he still insists on this idea because he is thinking about his own future.
What kind of person does he want to be?
Of course, he could pursue the path of being an artist. But he didn't want to be so passive. His sudden rise to fame, his appearances in the news, his invitations to shows—all of this happened unexpectedly, without any warning, and without the initiative in his own hands.
Lu Yanhe was not unwilling to inherit his original body's idea and make a name for himself as an artist, but he wanted more initiative and choice.
This is certainly not easy, but if he gives up the college entrance examination because of the sudden popularity, he knows that he will always be in a passive position.
Not to mention, his agent Zhou Pingan always wanted to terminate his contract for some unknown reason.
Lu Yanhe actually hadn't thought it through. Even if he was admitted to a good university, it would give him more say, but at least it would be a path unrelated to acting, a way out.
Having a way out means you won't have to hang yourself on a tree, and you won't have to risk everything.

"Don't accept me on shows like 'Little Songs Gathering' anymore. Not many people watch it, and it's all in vain."
Chen Ziliang glanced at his agent with an unhappy look on his face and said, "Look at the people who are recording the show with me. What kind of people are they? Louis Wang, an internet celebrity singer. Liu Zhilan, a 40-year-old aunt who was out of fashion ten years ago. Qin Zhibai, a newcomer no one has ever heard of, just a relative who was stuffed in by the capital. And that guy, Lu Yanhe, damn, a washed-up idol... What kind of people are they?! Are you asking me to drag so many people along?"
The agent explained helplessly, "Ziliang, although this show is unfair to you, it's a Northern Lights Video show, and we've signed a cooperation framework. When we signed a permanent contract with 'Ace Figures,' it included a clause requiring us to participate in other Northern Lights Video shows. You know, just bear with it. It's just an occasional recording."
"What, just record an episode once in a while? You mean I have to record this crappy show again in the future?!"
The voices of Chen Ziliang and his agent were getting farther and farther away.
Lu Yanhe didn't come out of the bathroom cubicle until their voices completely disappeared.
Being directly labeled a "has-been idol" by Chen Ziliang made Lu Yanhe feel a little tight in his chest. Although it was the truth, being so dismissively denied still fueled his anger.
At this time, the door of the adjacent compartment was also pushed open.
Lu Yanhe turned around in surprise.
