She looked at him, confused.
Lu Yichen didn"t really want to explain this and tried to change the topic. "Mom, your body is weak so you should go and rest. I know my limits and I"ll be sleeping in a while."
Lu Qianlan sighed and asked, "Are you tutoring Year One students to earn money?"
She knew that her illness required a lot of money to treat and she was scared of burdening her son with it.
"No…" Lu Yichen knew that his mother would not go back to sleep if he didn"t explain himself properly. Helpless, he said, "This is for Xiaoxiao. She asked me for my Year One notes so that she can study it. I"m just trying to tidy them up for her."
Lu Qianlan looked at the table again. There was a brand new notebook right beside the textbook and she instantly understood the situation.
"Are you rewriting new notes for her? How long are you going to take?"
Lu Yichen smiled indifferently. "It"s okay, it won"t take long. My notes aren"t suitable for her to digest, so I"m trying to make a cleaner version for her. I can also revisit my Year One knowledge, which is a good thing."
Lu Qianlan didn"t object because he was trying to help Mu Xiaoxiao. Moreover, she was really glad that he could help Xiaoxiao out, since Xiaoxiao was a good child who lent two million for her treatment. She would remember this act of kindness forever.
However, Lu Qianlan"s heart still ached for her son. He was only 18 but had to support the family. It was tough on him.
What made her even more sad was…
Lu Qianlan sighed. She said, guiltily, "If you had a better background, you"d be able to let go and chase Xiaoxiao."
In the past, she had advised him not to get into a relations.h.i.+p early, but Xiaoxiao was a rare gem of a girl, and she really liked that her.
Also, she was not oblivious to how her son felt about Xiaoxiao. However, pitiably, Xiaoxiao"s family background was too good. They couldn"t entertain such wild wishes with their current situation.
Recently, she couldn"t help but think… if she told Yichen about his father and he took on the Gu name, would Yichen have a chance with Xiaoxiao?
Lu Yichen pursed his lips and stood up. Wrapping an arm around her shoulder, he walked her out of his room as he said, "Alright, don"t let your thoughts run wild. Hurry up and sleep. I"m about to sleep soon."
Lu Qianlan didn"t say anything else for she didn"t want to hurt his heart. She advised, "Sleep early and don"t stay up all night, okay?"
"Okay."
After accompanying his mother to her room and watching her settle on her bed, he then turned off the lights and walked out.
Upon returning to his room, he sat before his table. Looking at the notes in front of him, his gaze deepened as he thought about something.
It was a long time before he returned to his senses and continued to write notes.
On a Friday morning.
At an eco-resort in City C.
All the students arrived in a deluxe coach but the Great Master Yin stubbornly drove Mu Xiaoxiao and the rest there in a commercial vehicle.
Upon their arrival, the students exited the coach and carried their luggage into the great hall.
There were no teachers supervising Shangde"s autumn outing, and it was managed entirely by the members of the Student Union. This was to cultivate the leaders.h.i.+p skills of the members of the Student Union, for the ones who could enter the club were the best people from the best families.
The great hall was packed with students trying to decide their rooms.
Mu Xiaoxiao and the rest had arrived earlier and they sat on a nearby sofa to rest.
According to convention, Shangde booked the entire resort again. This was to ensure the safety of the students and also to enjoy themselves to the fullest.
