Chapter 50: Confession

Actually, Wen Jiu had a vague feeling before that Lu Jing was the junior who accompanied her through the old curtain.
But she found it incredible because she only studied at a decent public key school, not a prestigious school.
She thought that with Lu Jing's family background, he definitely wouldn't be attending her school.
But she didn't expect that he really was that underclassman!
Lu Jing also didn't expect that he would confess in this way...
He was too concerned about Wenjiu's current mood, so he couldn't speak much for a while.
Or Wenjiu was the first to recover.
She glanced at Xiang Zichuan and Zhen Dejian, then went over and grabbed Lu Jing's wrist: "Let's go, let's find another place to talk."
陆景一扫刚才的锋利霸气，瞬间乖得像只绵羊，跟在温玖身后，和她离开了咖啡馆。
项子川被陆景完全相反的两面惊到了。
When he saw Wen Jiuhuo, there was a quick flash in his eyes as he instinctively moved his throat slightly. His hand unconsciously grabbed the edge of the table beside him...
And when Wen Jiuhuo held onto him, the joy and excitement in his eyes clearly revealed his feelings.
Wen Jiu does not understand, but Xiang Zichuan, as a man, understands at a glance.
Lue Jing loves Wen Jiu, deep into the bone marrow.
For this love, he actually has to hide his aggressive nature in front of her.
Xiang Zichuan smiled to himself.
It's really interesting.
I used to think that Lu Jing was an invincible perfect man.
But now, he discovered that Lu Jing also has a weakness.
That makes things much easier.
……
温玖没在学校附近找到合适的地方，索性和陆景去了他的车上说话。
两个人坐进去，短暂的沉默后，温玖先开了口：“当年在话剧社里和项子川他们打架小学弟真的是你？”
Lu Jing nodded: "Hmm."
"You hit Xiang Zichuan to stand up for me?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Lu Jing admitted, "Hmm."
"Why? I don't think I know you before this, right?"
Wenjiu is really confused this time.
She has always thought that the first time she met that little brother from primary school was in the drama club.
It was because she saved the little brother from Xiang Zichuan and his gang that the little brother was willing to go there every day in the following days, accompanying her behind the curtain.
But if what Lu Jing said is true, then they should have already known each other before the drama club, right?
Lu Jing and Wen Jiu looked at each other for a few seconds and decided to be honest.
"Yes, we knew each other. I had seen you two years before that incident happened."
Wenjiu doubted himself with blank eyes: "I really can't remember..."
"In the north city, next to the Olympic Village, in an ordinary convenience store."
Lujing recalled the time and place of their first encounter...
If she didn't ask, he really didn't want to recall.
Because, when he first met her, it was the most difficult and disgraceful moment in his life.
He slightly lowered his gaze, avoiding her eyes, and continued speaking.
"The shop owner caught me stealing bread, but you helped me out and even gave me a thousand dollars."
Wen Jiu slowly opened her eyes and looked at him.
She did have a memory of this incident, but she couldn't imagine that person was actually Lu Jing!
In that year, the northern city hosted the Olympic Games again.
Wen Hua took Wen Jiu to watch the Olympics.
At that time, Wen Hua had not been deceived by his friends, and Wen Jiu had not yet experienced the blow of being insulted by someone they liked.
她家境好，又在爱里长大，所以对世界也充满爱，看见谁落难都愿意去帮助。
所以，晚上她去便利店里，看见一个店主抓着一个脏兮兮的小男孩要去警局，她就过去替他求情，帮他付了面包的钱。
The little boy told her that his mother was sick and he didn't have a single penny. Warm Ji gave all the 1,000 yuan pocket money on her body to the little boy.
But... how could it be him?
She voiced her doubts: "Your grandfather has always been the wealthiest man in the northern city, how could your mother not have money for treatment?"
With these matters, Lu Jing really didn't know how to begin explaining for a moment.
Lujia, has always had a lot of messy things happening.
The foolish things his father did, the suffering he endured in the past, and the grievances of his mother...
Even now, when he thinks back to that period of time, he feels suffocated.
But because his grandfather controls the absolute power of speech in the North City media, those things have always been hidden very well.
The outside world only knows that he is the only grandson of Lu's richest man and the future owner of Yang Cao, and knows nothing else.
He hesitated for a moment and discussed with Wenjiu: "Can I tell you slowly in the future, is it okay?"
Today, he just wants to talk about the two of them.
Even if Wenjiu doesn't understand, he can still guess that it's probably the hidden secrets in the wealthy families.
She nodded, since he didn't want to say now, she wouldn't force him either.
Lujing continued, "When you gave me the money, I asked you where you would pay it back, and you told me you were studying at this school."
"But at that time, my grades were not good. I worked hard for two years before I got into the school you were in. As soon as I entered, I heard everyone talking about how you were bullied by Xiang Zichuan..."
"Wen Jiu's eyes turned red. "So, in order to stand up for me, you fought with him, and then you were taken to the drama club and beaten up by them?"
Lu Jing couldn't help but show a bit of disdain as he recalled the past.
What do you mean by him being beaten up by a group of people?
He was the one who fought against them alone!
If it weren't for Wen Jiu suddenly showing up at that time, even if he was left crippled, he would have fought them till the end!
However, in front of Wen Jiu, he still had to maintain his obedient image.
He nodded silently and softly hummed.
He was strong, but with a hint of pleading: "Don't collaborate with Xiang Zichuan anymore. He used to bully you, so don't reconcile with him, okay?"
温玖没说话，她静静与他四目相对。
这是她第一次这么认真地看他，她看见，他的双眸里全都是她。
温玖眼角忍不住泛酸。
"Don't cry..." Lu Jing's heart almost shattered when he saw her tears.
Gathering his courage, he reached out his hand and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. "I'll compensate you with the 50 million contract."
It's not difficult to get a 50 million yuan sponsorship for this show.
He just needs to gain more popularity, which shouldn't take long.
Wen Jiu shook her head, her eyes filled with guilt in the mist: "I'm not worried about the contract, I... I feel sorry for you..."
她本以为，是自己救了那个小学弟。
却根本不知道，他就是为了替她出头才会挨打。
他为她转校、他不顾一切地朝她奔赴而来，可她却什么都不知道。
Even at the last moment, she broke their agreement...
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Wenjiu repeated his guilt over and over again, "Back then, back then I shouldn't have broken our appointment..."
