Chapter Fifteen: Quarrel

  The next day at six o'clock, Lu Li woke up to the sound of his mobile phone alarm. At this time, Lu Yanxin was preparing to go out and saw that Lu Li looked a bit surprised, not knowing why he got up so early.

  "A Li, why get up so early?" Lu Yanxin asked.

  "It's cool in the morning, I went out for a run and felt that my body was a bit too weak." Lu Li heard Lu Yanxin ask and directly said, there's no need to hide this.

  Lu Yanxin nodded slightly, not paying much attention, thinking that Lu Li was just a temporary idea. Under the circumstances, Lu Li and Lu Yanxin left the door together, but Lu Yanxin rushed to the construction site, while Lu Li wandered around for a long time and arrived at a small park.

  The park is small, but it's very quiet and the environment is relatively serene. There are many tall trees growing lushly on both sides of the park path. In the center of the park is a small pond with a few lotus leaves floating on the water surface, and several flower buds waiting to bloom.

  And on the pond there is a very small pavilion with several stone benches for people to rest.

  It's still early and there aren't many people in the park, only some elderly folks practicing tai chi on a small lawn.

  Taking a deep breath of the fresh air, Lu Li felt refreshed all over. This world, although its technology had developed much faster than that on Earth, had protected its environment very well, vastly different from the battered and bruised state of Earth.

  Lu Li put down his sigh and started his morning exercise along the small path in the park.

  For the rest of the summer vacation, the old men who exercised in the park every morning knew that a young man would come to the park for a run every day, and he ran more laps each day.

  It was like this that Lu Li's summer vacation welcomed a period of ordinary but leisurely beautiful time that he would always recall with nostalgia.

  Get up in the morning and go for a run, after running do push-ups and sit-ups, and then continue with deep squats. Moreover, Lu Li's daily exercise intensity never decreases.

  After finishing all this, it was almost around 8 o'clock. Old mother Zhang Wenhui had also gotten up and tidied up the house for a while. At around 9:30, she went out to the restaurant. Lu Li sat in front of the computer typing away after 8 o'clock, continuously saving drafts. When Lu Yixin returned home at noon, Lu Li stopped typing and started preparing lunch, then continued typing after her nap.

  After dinner in the evening, I took a walk around the slum area and then went home to exercise, take a bath, and sleep.

  Ludi's life also became more regular. At first, Zhang Wenhui and Lu Yanxin were both curious about Ludi's way of exercising his body, but after half a month, looking at the obviously stronger Ludi, they felt that this was pretty good too.

  This quiet life lasted for more than 20 days until August 10th when Lu Li received a notice of art examination from Huaxia Music Academy.

  That's right, when Lu Li filled out his application form at that time, he chose the music major of Huaxia Music Academy in Hua Jing.

  Huaxia Music Academy has a very loud name, and from its name, it can be seen that it dares to crown itself with the name of Huaxia. It can be said that Huaxia Music Academy is the official music talent training base of Huaxia, and since its establishment 40 years ago, it has already had a school age of 71 years.

  The Hua Xia University of Music, as a higher education institution that cultivates high-level specialized music talent, has received great attention from the state and has a complete music education system. It has various music majors such as composition, conducting, vocal music, instrumental music, etc.

  Moreover, the Hua Xia Music Academy also has its own foundation. For example, Lang Di, a world-class piano master today, graduated from here. For example, Zhang Tao, the first pop music teacher of Hua Xia, is also a graduate of this school. For example, Li Ran, the number one singer in the Chinese music chart on YY Music, is also a student of this school.

  Of course, these are just a few of the most representative figures at present. In the 71 years since the founding of the Hua Xia Music Academy, countless famous music masters have been trained. It is precisely because of these glorious achievements that the Hua Xia Music Academy is a place where music talents from all over the country yearn to go, and every year there are countless people who hope to enter this profound music academy for study.

  The requirements of the music academy are also relatively high. First, in terms of cultural achievements, they are much higher than those of ordinary music colleges. Of course, some students who have a real gift for music can, if their cultural achievements are not satisfactory, produce convincing musical results after the college entrance examination and submit them to the admissions office of the music academy, which may also be somewhat more lenient in terms of cultural achievements.

  Ludi wasn't surprised at all that he could receive the admission notice from Huaxia Music Academy, after all, his academic performance was there. Even if it were some non-art key universities, there would be no problem, let alone an art academy. What Ludi is worried about now is his upcoming art exam. Because when it comes to professional music knowledge, Ludi can be said to know nothing at all, and except for being able to sing a few popular songs, he's just an outsider.

  The atmosphere at home was a bit heavy on the second day after Lu Li received the art exam notice. Lu Yanxin and Zhang Wenhui both took a leave of absence and did not go to work.

  Lu Li went to the park for morning exercise early in the morning, and when he came back, he was about to go back to his room to do some push-ups. However, seeing that both his father and mother were at home, he felt a bit nervous.

  "Dad and Mom, you didn't go to work?" Lu Li asked with a somewhat evasive gaze.

  "Going to work, what's the point of going to work? Can't even handle things at home, and still going to work!" Lu Yixin, usually a gentle person, was furious at this moment.

  "Ludi, I thought you've been doing great lately, becoming more sensible and all, I even thought you'd really grown up! But it turns out I was wrong! And so ridiculously wrong!" Ludy's face turned bright red as he loudly scolded: "Music major? What a music major! Is this the kind of major our family can afford?"

  Lu Yanxin questioned word by word, sentence by sentence, pounding at Lu Li's heart.

  Even Zhang Wenhui, who usually spoiled Lu Li, didn't say a word at this moment. She knew that Lu Yanxin was indeed angry and also disapproved of Lu Li's choice of majoring in music. What she and Lu Yanxin were thinking was that with Lu Li's excellent grades, choosing a popular major would guarantee her a good job after graduation.

  At that time, the couple worked harder to save some money for a down payment and buy a house in Huajing City. Then Ludi got married and let Ludi's two children work hard by themselves, which is great. It can be said that the two of them considered Ludi's future very thoroughly.

  Moreover, Ludi has been very sensible during this period of time. The two thought that Ludi would definitely make the right choice in choosing a major, so they didn't ask Ludi about it either. But unexpectedly, now they know that Ludi reported such a major.

  Lu Li heard Lu Yanxin's scolding and was momentarily stunned. He had never seen this side of Lu Yanxin before, after all, Lu Yanxin was usually very gentle. Unexpectedly, Dad's temper was so intimidating when he got angry.

  Lu Li returned with some evasiveness, wanting to muddle through. But now that Lu Yanxin has brought it up, Lu Li is no longer evasive and thinks that for some things, avoidance isn't a solution, and it's better to face them bravely.

  When on Earth, Lu Li chose to major in directing and was the same with his parents, who didn't say anything but silently sighed and worked even harder to support Lu Li.

  "Dad, Mom, I know you're very angry that I chose music as my major, but I have my own reasons for choosing this path." Lu Li's eyes stared at Lu Yanxin, speaking very seriously, without any evasion.

  "What reason do you have!" Lu Yanxin didn't listen to Lu Li's words: "Don't you know what kind of situation our family is in? Music is not something a family like ours can afford, are you daydreaming? In any case, I won't be able to pay the tuition fees." After hearing Lu Li's words, he became even more furious.

  "You'll know later, anyway, it's already been chosen, and regret is useless." Lu Li muttered somewhat helplessly.

  "You..." Lu Yanxin saw Lu Li like this, got angry and stretched out one hand to slap Lu Li.

  Lu Li looked at Lu Yanxin's large hand as it approached, didn't dodge, but instead raised her head and stubbornly stared back at Lu Yanxin.

  "Ah." Just as Lu Yanxin was about to continue hitting, he suddenly stopped and withdrew his hand. As the wind from the slap reached Lu Li's face, Lu Yanxin let out a sigh and turned back into the room.

  Zhang Wenhui didn't say a word until Lu Yixin returned to the room, then looked at Lu Li with some disappointment, shook his head and followed him in.

  "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. Later on, I'll let you know that my choice of major isn't because I don't understand things, nor is it impulsive or just a temporary infatuation." Lu Li said silently in her heart, her eyes slightly red around the rims.

  He could clearly see that Lu Yanxin's figure had bent significantly as he turned back to his room, and even looked a bit like an old man.

  Lu Li knew that this time he had made his parents very angry, but he couldn't explain the true situation to them. He could only use his future achievements to prove himself. Just now when Lu Yanxin wanted to hit him, Lu Li didn't dodge at all. He really hoped that Lu Yanxin would slap him in the face. That way, he would feel a little better inside.

  But in the end, Lu Yanxin didn't continue fighting. Lu Li was moved but at the same time felt guilty for hurting the two elders' hearts.

  Lu Li also sighed and seemed to see the old dad on earth who was working hard for his own director's profession, coming home late and earning money, and finally tears fell.

  Lu Li rushed back to his room, without exercising or writing, and just buried himself in the quilt, wailing loudly. A man has tears but doesn't easily shed them, but at this moment Lu Li thought of his parents' tolerance and accommodation towards him in two lifetimes, and he couldn't hold back his emotions anymore.

  At this moment, Lu Li was like an 18-year-old child who knew how great his parents were.

  And because of this quarrel, a storm was stirred up on the internet.
