Chapter 4: Grow out of the mud unsullied, moving a lot of bricks without gasping!

　　Twenty minutes later, two people arrived at the university city of Xuangyang, a campus area with nearly twenty campuses around. The campus offering undergraduates courses were all over, and Lan Xiang New Oriental has also opened campus on it.[1]

　　Li Yueyun stopped at the gate of Lan Xiang, Yu Siling got off and handed her another breakfast: “I’m here, you should go back to work early too.”

　　”Okay.” Li Yueyun drank the soy milk, looked around the entrance of the school, and then looked at her girlfriend, and smiled, “I’ll pick you up after work?”

　　”Forget it, your job requires working overtime from time to time, I’ll just go home by myself.” Yu Siling waved goodbye to his girlfriend, put on her bag and went to the school entrance.

　　She also greeted the female classmate who was walking on the other side: “Good morning, Xiao Fang.”

　　Lai Yueyun saw her enter the school with her classmates, and only then was she relieved to leave.

　　The “Xiao Fang” student turned her head and took a closer look at Yu Siling: “Hello, who are you? You’re calling the wrong person, right?”

　　”Huh? Well…” Yu Siling has been staring at the movement outside, as she Li Yueyun pedalling far away, she smiled at the female classmate and waved, “Sorry Xiao Hong, wrong person, goodbye!”[2]

　　”My name is not Xiao Hong either!”

　　However, Yu Siling could no longer hear this, she ran wildly with her bag on her back, running towards the innermost school in the park – Xuanyang Film Academy.

　　Xuanyang Film Academy, the top three academies in the film and television industry, exports a large number of talents to the entertainment industry every year, with countless famous alumni.

　　And Yu Siling, is a third grade student of the school’s acting department.

　　As she walked on the road, she met many familiar students, greeted each other before she rushed to the classroom.

　　The first class of the day was the script class, small class teaching, she sneaked in through the back door, and was caught by the teacher.

　　”Yu Siling, why are you late?”

　　All the students looked backwards in unison, Yu Siling smiled in embarassment, stood up straight and said, “It’s like this, I met my old classmate Xiao Hong over at Lan Xiang, and she had to drag me to catch up about the old times.”

　　The teacher didn’t waste any more time in asking questions and simply said a few words before naming her to practice, “You come and demonstrate this line to everyone.”

　　”Okay.” Yu Siling put down her bag, walked to the center of the field, took the script, brewed her emotions for a while, and then said the lines according to the situation.

　　At the end of the exercise, the students applauded very respectfully and the teacher was satisfied, saying, “Yu Siling, I hope you can lie as well as you act.”

　　Yu Siling begged, “Teacher, please forgive me this time, I’m wrong, I’m wrong, I really know I’m wrong.” Next time, I didn’t dare to do it again.

　　The teacher pointed out the problems in turn, and arranged a little group work before finishing.

　　When the bell rang, a group of people rushed to the cafeteria. The food in the school’s second canteen was the best, but also the most expensive. Yu Siling and a few of her close classmates ordered their meals and were having a good time when three girls sat down across from each other.

　　The leader is Zhang Yaofei of the next class, the rich second generation, she usually like to make friends, and relied on her family relations to play a supporting role in a TV series, which became her bragging capital. During the day, she asked it out loud, very domineering, her head is held high as if her nose could become the major cross road to heaven. [3]

　　”Yu Siling, how did you come to school this morning?” Zhang Yaofei asked in a haughty manner.

　　”Why?”

　　Zhang Yaofei: “Where are the luxury cars of your family, why don’t you drive them out to show off?”

　　As soon as she heard this, Yu Siling knew what she was here for, she was just catching some big gossips to step on her again.

　　She said casually: “The family went bankrupt.”

　　”Really?” Zhang Yaofei’s face became happy, her family and Yu Siling’s family rivaly is no secret, during their open and hidden fight for years, they always hope that Yu Siling’s family went bankrupt.

　　”No wonder, you were seen coming to school on a bicycle this morning.” Zhang Yaofei gave her a smug look, “Bankrupt people are different, they can’t drive a good car, they can only afford to sit on the back of a bike.”

　　”Yes, yes, I’m always be self-reliant and self-improving.” Yu Siling nodded his head.

　　Zhang Yaofei got a satisfactory answer and took her little sisters to a different table to eat.

　　Yu Siling’s classmates finally spoke freely.

　　”Finally gone, this gal is really annoying.”

　　”Ouch, finally I can get some fresh air.”

　　”Look at her is lack of poisonous beating, LingLing, don’t you get angry with her?”

　　Yu Siling smiled, “I’m not angry.”

　　She wouldn’t get angry because of her, anyway, her family isn’t bankrupt. Zhang Yaofei later would ask her family a question, and she knew she has been cheated, with her nature, she would smash the wall angrily and her injury won’t be too light.　　

　　”By the way, is what she said is just now true? Did you really come on a bike?” A classmate asked.

　　”Yes.” Yu Silng nodded, “My girlfriend sent me here.”

　　”Hhh…”

　　Several students looked at each other, they knew beforehand that Yu Siling was in love, but they didn’t expect it to be a girlfriend.

　　The classmates were curious: “Then your girlfriend must be very good looking, right?”

　　After all, leaving aside the family situation, Yu Siling herself can be ranked in the top three in beauty, not to mention her strength, in the future when she will debut, surely she would be another big celebrity ah.

　　”She, is specially, good looking.” Yu Siling said with a heavier tone.

　　”That’s good, but why did she send you on a bike, is it because it’s refreshing activities?”

　　”No.” Yu Siling said, “Because she can only afford a bike.”

　　Classmates: “Huh???”

　　Yu Siling seemed to be downplaying something: “Yeah, although she’s a bit poor, but she’s definitely self-reliant and self-sufficient!”

　　Although the students did not want to dig deeper into the gossip, they could not help but be curious: “A bit poor, how poor is it? What kind of work does she do?”

　　Yu Siling: “She’s a bricklayer.”

　　Classmates: “……”

　　Classmates: “…………” They must have a hearing problem!

　　”Are you teasing us?”

　　”Of course no, have you ever seen me lying?” Yu Siling dared to swear that the biggest lie she had ever told in her life was to her girlfriend!

　　The students still found it hard to believe and said, “You’ve seen her carry bricks with your own eyes?”

　　”Yes, it was a sunny day, and she invited me to dinner. I passed near the construction site and happened to see her busy on the site with her helmet on.”

　　Yu Siling said, revealing a smile, as if she was back to that afternoon, she stood at the roadside, watching the tall Li Yueyun being sweaty, picking up two bricks and knocking on them in a serious manner.

　　Very handsome!

　　When they saw her obsessed expression, it was hard to digest why, in reality, there’s many handsome boys and girls were chasing after her at school, why does she fall in love with a bricklayer outside the construction site?

　　”What kind of person do you think she is?” A classmate asked.

　　Yu Siling is still immersed in memories, sighing: “She ah, is the real expert. Grow out of the mud unsullied, moving a lot of bricks without gasping!” [4]

　　Classmates: “……”

　　After a small class on film and television appreciation in the afternoon, today’s lessons were over.

　　Yu Siling took a taxi home and contacted a cleanet online. When she arrived home, the cleanet aunt was already waiting downstairs.

　　The aunt brought her own tools and followed her into the house to clean it, while Yu Siling sat watching the movie and analyzing the characters and lines.

　　While everything was going on in an orderly fashion, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

　　”Who is it?” Yu Siling asked.

　　”Me.” A deep, steady voice rang out.

　　Yu Si Ling quickly sifted through his mind to make sure he had never heard this voice before asking again, “Who are you?”

　　”Me.”

　　Yu Siling opened the door and saw a slightly obese older woman with rubber gloves, carrying a bucket, basin, clean rag and cleaning agent, and said with a smile, “I’m here to clean up for you.”

　　”Hmm?” Yu Si Ling looked at the aunt who was cleaning the kitchen and wondered, “I only called one person to come, though?”

　　”It’s Li Yueyun who asked me to come.” The aunt said in a loud voice, and then saw that there was another aunt inside, “How are you going to settle the bill here?”

　　”You wait for a moment.” Yu Siling called Li Yueyun, and the call was quickly answered.

　　”LingLing, what’s wrong?”

　　”There’s an aunt at home, she said you invited her?”

　　”You’re home?” Li Yueyun asked.

　　”Yeah, I don’t have class this afternoon.”

　　”Is that so…” Li Yueyun replied calmly and easily, “She’s my workmate, it just so happens that she’s off today, so I asked her to come and help clean up.”

　　”Ah, ok.”

　　”You give her the phone, I’ll give her a few instructions.”

　　A few moments later, the aunt answered the phone, and before she opened her mouth, she heard her employer say, “Auntie, just tell her that you’re my workmate and you’re here to help me clean the house for free!”

　　Auntie: “Ah, why?”

　　”Five hundred an hour!” The company’s main goal is to provide a good solution to the problem.

　　There is still this good thing! The woman immediately agreed: “Okay, Xiao Li, you work well, I’m at your home, don’t worry. Oh and… There is also a cleaner aunt brought by your roommate here ……”

　　Yu Siling was startled, she quickly grabbed the phone, she was forced to explain: “Yes, this is my alumni, she did cleaner work, very professional, but also doesn’t charge me money. She didn’t charge me yet.”

　　The aunt who finished cleaning the kitchen just came out: “?”

　　”If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up, the aunts are going to do the clean up.”

　　”Okay, love you.”

　　”Mwah.”[5]

　　Yu Siling hung up the phone and heard the aunt ask: “Little girl, what do you mean by this Mwah?”

　　”It means to show friendship between people of the same age, just like exchanging hearts.” Yu Siling used hand gestures to make a heart, “Like this, to express respect and love for each other.”

　　”Understood.” Auntie nodded and said curiously, “Did you just say I’m your alumnus?”

　　”Yes, it’s true!” Yu Siling smiled, trying to cover up[6], “What school did you go to?”

　　Auntie said, “I graduated from Jiedaokou elementary school.”

　　”Hey, that’s a coincidence.” Yu Siling slapped her thigh, “I also graduated from the same school!”

　　”Hey! That’s really a coincidence, so am I!” The older woman also slapped her thigh and agreed.

　　”Yo, which class are you from?” The aunt immediately looked at the older woman.

　　”I’m from the class 1998.”

　　”I was from 1999!”

　　The two aunts talked happily, discussing the past events on school while working, and when they got excited, they even put down their work to add a WeChat.

　　After the work is finished, the aunt carried a bucket of water, rushed to the aunt and made heart shaped sign: “Big sister, today we have a good chat, mwah!”

　　Aunt carrying the basin: “Mwah, mwah!”

　　Yu Siling: “…………”
