children of this age were sensitive. after being rejected by lu ziai, lu yinxi ran back to her room and couldn't help but cry. lu yinxi's house was not far from dragon harbor. after taking a shower, fang zicheng was doing his homework in his study.

he suddenly heard a sigh. it was a familiar voice. it was lu yinxi.

fang zicheng put down his pen, calmed down, and listened carefully to what lu yinxi was saying.

after understanding lu yinxi's troubles, fang zicheng was also a little troubled.

was she so short of money that she had to go to this extent?

!!

the next morning, after the second period, lu yinxi was called to the office by the class teacher during the exercise break last night. "it's like this. our school received news today that an education charity foundation wants to cooperate with our school. "it specializes in helping poor students who have good grades. in your case, you can get my recommendation to apply for a subsidy from this foundation. the highest subsidy is 100000 yuan, and the lowest is 40000 yuan. our school only has five spots in total."

lu yinxi was overjoyed.

however, she heard the form teacher say, " but there is a very strict restriction. " the form teacher's expression was very serious when she spoke of this restriction.

"what restraints?" lu yinxi asked.

the form teacher said, " the foundation has clearly stipulated that all the people who receive their help can be poor in the next ten years, but they must not make any moral mistakes. if they find out that this person has moral issues, not only will they have to return the full subsidy, but they will also have to pay the interest according to the bank loan interest rate."

the form teacher pondered for a moment and said, " in short, the foundation will only help those who really need help and are worth helping. it will never help those students who have good grades but have bad morals. "

lu yinxi asked the teacher, " then ... should i agree to this condition? "

the form teacher burst out laughing. " of course i agree. " the homeroom teacher asked lu yinxi to prepare some materials after school and bring them to school the next day. she would sign them and then send in the application.

lu yinxi was very interested in this matter. she had been running around for the next few days because of this. it was only when school was about to end that she received her form teacher's approval.

"you've received an allowance of 100000 dollars. the foundation will transfer the money to your bank card in three separate times. lu yinxi, i've given you a chance. you should cherish it. " the homeroom teacher loved lu yinxi very much. when she had helped lu yinxi submit the application, she had only thought of giving it a try. she hadn't expected that it would actually work!

lu yinxi hugged her form teacher excitedly. " thank you, teacher lin! "

teacher lin was stunned. he patted lu yinxi's back and encouraged her.

when school ended, fang zicheng came to pick her up and saw that she was in high spirits. he naturally knew why lu yinxi was so happy, but he still asked her, " what are you happy about? "

lu yinxi didn't explain.

she took out twenty yuan from her small change bag and threw it into fang zicheng's arms like a rich man throwing money. she said, " take it. i'll treat you to some skewers! "

fang zicheng was speechless.

in the end, they took the 20 yuan and went to a skewer shop to buy 20 yuan skewers. 20 yuan was only a bowl of skewers. the two of them used disposable chopsticks, squatted by the roadside, and ate the bowl of skewers clean.

it was fang zicheng's first time eating this kind of skewers and he thought it tasted good. even though he knew that the skewers were not clean, he still wanted to try the taste of the soup. he took a light sip and found the taste to be pretty good.

"give me some." lu yinxi snatched the disposable bowl over and drank the soup.

fang zicheng noticed that lu yinxi was drinking her soup from the spot where he had taken a sip. he didn't say anything, but he uncomfortably touched his ears, which were a little hot.

after eating the skewers, lu yinxi happily went home and saw that her aunt was home.

she restrained the expression on her face a little, called her aunt, and planned to go back to her room. lu ziai was sitting by the window, smoking. for some reason, she had been smoking more often than before.

"the money is on your bedside table." lu ziai said.

lu yinxi was stunned.

she stood in the middle of the living room and looked at lu ziai. she was still young and not sophisticated enough. she asked lu ziai, " why is aunt willing to lend me money again? "

lu ziai exhaled a mouthful of smoke, looking slightly dispirited.

"just think of it as me being in a good mood, so i'm just patronizing a beggar."

however, lu yinxi felt that lu ziai was sincere in helping her. she wanted to tell her aunt that she had already received a 100000 yuan fund. however, when the words reached her mouth, lu yinxi fell silent again.

she couldn't say it.

she knew that once she said those words, her harmonious relationship with lu ziai would definitely be frozen. her aunt had been at loggerheads with her grandmother for so many years. she didn't even visit her grandmother even when she was dead. it could be seen that she was also a ruthless person.

if lu ziai knew that lu yinxi had money now, she might kick lu yinxi out of the house.

lu yinxi owed her a favor, and her aunt would continue to take her in on account of her pitiful state.

it wasn't that lu yinxi was cheap, but that she was lonely and had no one to rely on. her aunt was her only family. she still cherished this aunt of hers.

"t-thank you, auntie."

lu ziai ignored her.

lu yinxi had saved the money that lu ziai had given her for a fixed period. she planned to use it when she really needed it in the future.

...

as the end of the year approached, the school began its final exams.

in the first semester of high school, the seats for the final exam were randomly arranged. lu yinxi walked into the exam hall and found her seat. she noticed that the seat diagonally in front of her was empty. it seemed that the student was not in a hurry.

usually, people who were late for exams were mostly people with average academic results. it wasn't until the bell rang that a tall girl walked in.

lu yinxi was stunned when she saw the girl.

it was gu yiqiu, the new school bully.

she had not seen gu yiqiu for a long time. she heard that someone in gu yiqiu's family had passed away and she had gone back to United States. after gu yiqiu sat down, she searched in her pocket and realized that she had forgotten to bring a pen.

she looked around the classroom and finally stopped at lu yinxi. "hey, girl, lend me a pen."

lu yinxi's face was a little red.

'girl ...

she lent her pen to gu yiqiu.

the school bully had a request, and lu yinxi didn't dare to disobey.

gu yiqiu answered the questions very quickly. the first test was english and she was an american student, so it was normal for her to answer so quickly.

there were two exams in the morning, and gu yiqiu had been using lu yinxi's pen the entire time. after the second exam, gu yiqiu returned the pen to lu yinxi. she looked at her and suddenly said, " you've lost weight. "

lu yinxi was flattered. "you still remember me?"

"i remember." she smiled, but her next sentence was, " it's hard for me to forget such a silly child like you. "
