Lu Lin didn't immediately say what kind of help it was, but simply said, "Contact me after you finish your driving test."
Neither of them mentioned what happened yesterday.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Heqing noticed shared bicycles across the street.
I'm going to work, and the roads are congested again.
He changed his mind and instead of going to the bus stop, he crossed the zebra crossing to the other side to scan for shared bicycles.
I don't know if his parents taught him when he was young, but he learned to ride a bicycle the first time he got on in junior high school.
I scanned the QR code with my phone, and then a request popped up on WeChat.
Yan Heqing opened it.
The profile picture is of a blue sky, and the contact name is [ Yang Rucheng ].
Yan Heqing knew this name.
The vice dean of the School of Life Sciences at Beijing University, who will also be his future mentor.
Yan Heqing asked Yang Rucheng through a friend, and before he could even type a message, Yang Rucheng had already added him to a group.
[Class 2, Biological Sciences, 20XX]
As soon as Yan Heqing joined, [ Old Yang ] tagged the entire group. "New classmate Yan Heqing has joined the group! Applause, welcome! Hooray!"
[ Li Xinyu ]: Applause!
[ Jiang Tao ]: Welcome!
[ Wang Jiang ]: Hooray!
A long row of copy and paste.
After a moment of silence, [ Old Yang ] tagged [ Gu Xingye ]: Where is everyone?
Gu Xingye was in the lab, and by the time he noticed the WeChat message, it was almost midnight.
He walked out of the lab, washed his hands, took a piece of bread from his bag, tore it open with his mouth, and chewed while replying to the message.
He didn't copy: Welcome new students.
After a slight pause, [ Yan Heqing ] was tagged at the end.
He still remembered Lin Fengzhi's unusual behavior last time. The name Yan Heqing was not common, let alone in the same city.
Yan Heqing stood against the wall for 15 minutes, sweating more on his face and neck than before. He went into the bathroom to wash up, and when he came out, he saw Gu Xingye's tag.
After turning off the radiator and getting into bed, Yan Heqing replied with two words.
The reply was the same as the replies to other students.
[Thanks.]
Gu Xingye's appearance brought the previously quiet group chat to life again.
Judging from the names, most of them are girls. There are only 42 students in Biological Sciences Class 2, including Yan Heqing who transferred to the major. There are only 6 girls.
Only two haven't appeared yet; the other four have all appeared.
[ Li Xinyu ]: So late! Gu Xingye, you're in the lab again!
[ Liu Minmin ]: Gu Xingye, you're amazing! You've published another paper in Ce!
[ Sun Yingzi ]: School starts right after the Lantern Festival this year?
[ Zhou Yun ]:... So many night owls...
Gu Xingye is handsome. In an anonymous poll conducted on the Beijing University forum, he became the most handsome man in the School of Life Sciences by leading the second place by more than 800 votes.
Some of the boys' sarcastic remarks were practically spitting out of the screen.
[Tsk tsk, only the most handsome guy in the department can liven up the group chat. Nobody pays attention to us when we talk.]
Then the two remaining girls suddenly chimed in.
[ Zhou Wuyou ]: Yan Heqing?! Is it Yan Heqing from the software engineering department?
[ Zhan Pingting ]: Wow, the most handsome guy in the Software Engineering department transferred to our class!
In the poll for the most handsome guy in the Software Engineering department, Yan Heqing surpassed Fu Helang came in second, by 1500 votes.
Yan Heqing didn't care about these things; he replied with a thank you, then turned off his phone and went to sleep.

After that night, Yan Heqing didn't check the class group chat.
Lu Muchi must have been taught a lesson by Lu Changcheng, because he hasn't contacted him since, and Lin Fengzhi has also disappeared as if he had vanished.
After completing his driving test (Part 1), Yan Heqing returned to his usual routine of going between home and work.
Studying at home and volunteering at the welfare home.
And so the day of the theory test arrived. After submitting my application, I immediately received my score: 100.
You can schedule your driving test (Subject 2) in 10 days.
Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and the welfare home will participate in the opening ceremony of Lu Group's Amusement Park.
Yan Heqing didn't contact Lu Lin; he'd tell him in person tomorrow.
The children at the welfare home were very excited to go to the amusement park. The next day, when Yan Heqing arrived at the welfare home at seven o'clock, they were already dressed and carrying their schoolbags, lining up to board the bus.
The buses feature a simple Lu Group's logo on their bodies, and there are a total of 6 buses.
Yan Heqing went to the 5th floor.
The Lu Group provided wheelchairs, so everyone was able to go this time, except for a few children who were not suitable to go out.
The paralyzed little boy and girl on the 5th floor put on their new clothes before dawn and waited anxiously.
The staff at the welfare home were all middle-aged or elderly, so the task of carrying them downstairs fell to Yan Heqing.
Just as Yan Heqing arrived on the 5th floor, several Lu Group's employees came out of the dormitory carrying children on their backs.
The assistant, making arrangements in the hallway, caught sight of Yan Heqing and quickly approached him with a broad smile, "Yan, you've arrived."
Yan Heqing immediately understood.
Even with more charitable work, it's impossible to be so meticulous; it was Lu Lin who sent people to help him.
Suddenly, crying came from the girls' dormitory ahead. Yan Heqing and his assistant rushed in at the same time. A male employee stood there helplessly, and on the bed next to him was a little girl crying in fear.
The male employee was so flustered he stammered, "I cried even before I touched her..."
The assistant's expression changed slightly. He had considered asking female employees for help, but carrying a paralyzed child down five floors would be too difficult for most girls. He apologized, saying, "It was my oversight. I should have asked a few female employees."
Yan Heqing walked to the bedside, squatted down, and asked softly, " Xiao Rong, what happened?"
When Xiao Rong saw Yan Heqing, she whispered something to him shyly.
She rarely saw strangers, let alone a strange man. She was unfamiliar with him and instinctively felt resistant, so she cried in fear.
"I didn't mean it, Brother Yan..." Xiao Rong bit her lip.
Having understood the whole story, Yan Heqing looked up and said politely, "It's alright, I'll carry him."
He skillfully carried the little girl on his back and walked out of the room.
Without hesitation, the assistant immediately messaged Lu Lin, explaining what had just happened.
Lu Lin replied a few minutes later.
"Install an elevator."
The assistant replied to Lu Lin and immediately contacted the elevator company.
Yan Heqing slowly descended the stairs.
Xiao Rong is not light, and with her thick winter clothes, it was a bit strenuous to carry her downstairs.
