Chapter 12: CH 12

‘C’ University was the capital’s top university. Graduating from here meant that you were an elite. Not to over exaggerate, but as long as you have a diploma or degree from ‘C’ University, 9 out of 10 companies would be fighting to hire you.
If Lu Qi did not hook up with Huo Ming Chen, and safely graduated from this university, his future would not have been bad. It would have at least kept him fed and warm without worries.
But humans are born with an inherent laziness. This kind of tendency to go with the flow makes humans look for shortcuts. Lu Qi has never denied that he had a sense of laziness in him. Instead, he was more willing to claim that he has “ambition”. To go to a company and become a hard working little employee was not what he wanted. Compared to that, wouldn’t having Huo Ming Chen help him reach even further and higher?
Being reborn into the past has its price. The system took away the help given to him by Huo Ming Chen, as if you came across a mountain full of treasure but could only return home empty handed.
It did not matter whether it was because he was forced to or for any other reason, Lu Qi had finally picked up his sense of responsibility and found some part time jobs, relying on his own efforts to clear out most of his debt.
Although he got to this point with a lot of help from Huo Ming Chen and his family, apart from that money, the rest of it was very dependent on him.
Lu Qi looked at his hands, and there was a hidden struggle in his eyes. Eventually, it slowly faded away, and in that moment, he felt like he grasped something, but also like he had grasped nothing.

Time passed by without him realizing. After a long time, he returned home, and when he opened the door, he saw Huo Ming Chen silently sitting on the living room sofa, half his body obscured by shadow.
“Why are you back so early?”
Lu Qi blindly reached to turn on the lights, and the living room shone brightly, flashing in their eyes for a second. After his eyes adjusted to the brightness, he discovered that the floor was littered with cigarette butts, and quickly sensed that something was not right.
Huo Ming Chen did not immediately answer him, and used his phone to send a text to someone. He threw it aside and then lifted his head to look at Lu Qi,
“Dinner ended early, so I came back early.”
His voice was very normal, but his face was shrouded with darkness. It was hard to tell what he was feeling.
