Chapter 114 The Man on the Back of a Bicycle

Li Ye used the book to cover his face, and also blocked the view of the girl on the middle bunk.

But then the other party asked softly: "Excuse me, are you Li Ye?"

“.”

Li Ye put the book away and sat up.

He stared at the girl's face three times and made sure it was someone he didn't know.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember us meeting?"

"Oh, I was reckless."

The girl smiled, turned around and searched for a while, then took out a newspaper and handed it to Li Ye.

When Li Ye took a look, it turned out to be a Dongshan Education Newspaper.

On the second page of the newspaper, there was an interview photo of Li Ye and an article titled "Never Give Up and Focus on Oneness".

This is the achievement of Yue Mengmeng. A few days ago, she even went to Qingshui County to show off her achievement to Li Ye!

However, Li Ye looked at his blurred face in the newspaper and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "You can recognize this?"

The clarity of photos in newspapers these days is really limited. Even though Li Ye looks stunning, he doesn't look that stunning after the blur filter.

The girl smiled and said, "Half-recognition and half-guessing! I wasn't too sure just now."

Li Ye smiled and suddenly asked, "Your accent doesn't sound like you're from Dongshan. How come you have a Dongshan newspaper?"

The girl smiled generously and said, "I am indeed not from Dongshan, but my father has read your novels and discussed you with his friends in Dongshan Province, so his friends sent him this newspaper."

Li Ye nodded gently: "That's really a coincidence. If there is a chance, I would like to listen to your father's teachings."

The girl also smiled, stretched out her hand to Li Ye and said, "Jingwai, Liu Muhan, I'm glad to meet a talented person from Jingda."

"What kind of talent am I?"

Li Ye reached out his hand and shook hands gently with the other party, then handed the newspaper back to her.

Liu Muhan was surprised and puzzled. Although Li Ye's look didn't keep people at a distance, people could feel that he kept a distance.

[Does he know that Lu Jingyao and I are roommates? Or is it just because I am a student from outside Beijing? ]

Liu Muhan had some thoughts in his words just now.

My father was very interested in your novels after reading them. As well as my friends in Dongshan, I was able to get a sleeper berth as an exception. Why don’t you ask my father if he is a member of the Writers Association?

As a result, Li Ye seemed to be completely uninterested. After returning the newspaper to Liu Muhan, he picked up the novel again and prepared to read it.

Seeing that Li Ye had just picked up two novels, Liu Muhan asked, "Student Li Ye, are you still reading another novel? Can you show it to me?"

Li Ye handed over the unused novel, without even looking at him or saying a word, which made Liu Muhan feel helpless.

[It seems that there is a reason why Jingyao doesn't like him. He is really a bit silly, but... he is really handsome! ]

Liu Muhan was also a girl who was proud in her heart. Since Li Ye ignored her, she naturally would not be annoying. She lay on the middle bunk and started reading a book.

"Woo~~"

When the train whistled and prepared to depart, the last passenger in the sleeper car hurried up.

This is a short and fat middle-aged man. Although he was sweating profusely from rushing to catch the train, his white shirt was buttoned meticulously, and the two pens in his shirt pocket were neatly placed.

It seems that this is a "serious person".

But when he tried to climb onto his bed, he couldn't straighten himself up.

His bed was the upper bunk on the highest level on the right side. The space was very small. Not only was it very inconvenient to get on and off, but he couldn't even sit up after getting on it.

This is also the reason why the lower berth is the hardest to buy when buying a sleeper ticket.

The train has three berths, and the space decreases from bottom to top. There is still space for the head when sitting on the lower berth, and the short girl in the middle berth can barely sit.

The middle-aged man climbed down, found Li Ye and said with a smile: "Classmate, you see I am too old to climb up, and you are young, healthy, flexible and agile, how about we switch?"

Li Ye didn't even raise his eyelids and said casually: "No change."

Rejecting people is also a skill. In his previous life, Li Ye learned how to reject others effectively only after he had been working for a long time. This time, his rejection was crisp and clear, without any room for maneuver.

The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect that after he had said nice things and praised the student, he could still be so unreasonable.

In desperation, he said with some pain in his heart: "My classmate, I am not exchanging berths with you for nothing. The ticket prices for upper and lower berths are different, right? I will give you an extra two dollars."

Li Ye interrupted directly: "Sorry, uncle, I'm tall and it's too cramped to go to the upper bunk. You should find someone else!"

The 1.6-meter-tall middle-aged man looked at Li Ye, who was 1.8-meter-tall, and gasped heavily.

But there was nothing he could do. We were living in a civilized society now. If it were a few years ago, he would have been sure that he would have made Li Yexun cry.

The middle-aged man looked up at Liu Muhan, only to find that the girl who had been reading a book just now had covered her head and fallen asleep.

[Don’t you feel hot if you cover your head on a hot day? 】

The middle-aged man turned back helplessly and climbed to his upper bunk.

He looked around the entire carriage and found that only these two young men were rookies, while the rest were veterans, so he simply didn't bother talking to them.

But he was angry and naturally had to grumble a few words.

"The world is really going downhill. How do teachers educate children nowadays? Not only do they not know how to respect the elderly and love the young, but they also use backdoors and enjoy themselves.

How can you ride on a sleeper at such a young age? Where did you get the qualifications? Where did you get the tickets? Where did you get them?

“Huh~”

Li Ye suddenly sat up from the berth.

The fat man reacted very quickly. After hearing the sound of the wind, he immediately used all his strength to flip over to the upper bunk, then looked at Li Ye with vigilance.

As long as Li Ye dared to take action, he would shout for help.

Li Ye did not do anything. How could he, a "small rich man" with a net worth of hundreds of thousands, beat up a "righteous man" who felt pain in his heart for taking two dollars just because of a few words?

When Ma Ali was young and selling things on the street, he really had a fight with the manager, but have you ever seen him fight afterwards?

Li Ye glanced at the fat man, took out his luggage, and pulled out a net bag of walnuts from it.

The fat man looked at Li Ye's confusing movements and was very puzzled. If you want to eat this thing, you have to hit it with a hammer. If you don't have a hammer, you can use a brick or a stone. Is there such a thing on the train?

But the next moment, he was stunned.

Li Ye just used his five fingers to squeeze the walnut open.

“Ka-ka-ka-ka~”

There were six soft sounds in succession and the fat man's eyelids twitched six times.

[This special brew is made by a young man! Why am I so unlucky? ]

The problem is that the "young hero" also held up a broken walnut and said to the fat man: "Would you like to try it?"

Try something? What?

Taste your walnut, or taste your eagle's claw?

This finger doesn't look too thick. If I hold it on my body.

"No, thank you little brother, hehe~~"

The fat man turned his head inside and went to sleep.

Li Ye smiled and threw the walnut kernel into his mouth.

He wasn't showing off intentionally, he just didn't want to bother with all the nagging along the way, there were still more than ten hours to go! Why would he let it affect his mood?

"Can I have a taste?"

A voice suddenly came from the back of his head. Li Ye turned around and saw Liu Muhan, who had been pretending to be asleep just now, blinking his big eyes and looking scorching again.

Li Ye nodded, cleaned the crushed walnuts, and handed over the walnut kernels in his hand.

Liu Muhan took it in a daze, very surprised.

She has always prided herself on her amazing observation skills since she was a child, being able to see through many people's thoughts and actions, but Li Ye's actions today were unexpected in every way.

Liu Muhan was sure that Li Ye would ask her to taste the walnuts, but she didn't guess that Li Ye would clean the walnut shells and give them to her.

[When he gives a watermelon to someone, does he have to remove the seeds for them? ]

"Switch with you!"

Liu Muhan took out a bag of snacks from her small bag and handed it to Li Ye.

Li Ye took a look and found that it was Shaqima.

In the 1980s in China, food was in short supply and oil, sugar, rice and flour were still supplied by tickets. There were very few types of baked products on the market, and many pastries could only be found in high-end hotels and some Western restaurants.

Shachima, which is mixed with raisins, nuts and other ingredients, is really a rare snack.

"Thanks!"

Li Ye took it calmly, ate it and lay down to continue reading.

Liu Muhan also lay down, savoring the oily aroma of the walnut kernels, shaking his head and laughing.

She suddenly realized that this Li Ye was not stupid at all, and he even had a kind of intelligence that she couldn't figure out.

[Alas, Jingyao, you missed someone. ]

. . . . . . .

When the train arrived at Beijing Station, Liu Muhan dragged his suitcase with great effort, feeling somewhat worried.

Her mother brought too many things for her, fearing that she wouldn't eat well, wouldn't be clothed warmly, or would get tanned. She fiddled with all sorts of things, weighing dozens of kilograms, without considering whether they would tire her to death.

Fortunately, this imported suitcase has wheels underneath, so it can be towed as long as it is on a flat road. However, the few steps leading out of the car are very difficult to climb.

But just when she was in trouble, Li Ye picked up her suitcase with one hand and helped her put it on the platform.

"Thank you! Where are you going? Are you familiar with taking the bus?"

Liu Muhan thanked Li Ye and was about to give him something in return when he saw Li Ye running forward without looking back.

Carrying two big bags, I really jogged.

In the distance, a tall girl ran towards Li Ye.

She was a very special girl, with a small face but big eyes, which seemed to be out of line with the beauty of the times.

But Liu Muhan just looked at it twice more and couldn't help but praise it, "It's really beautiful."

Especially the smile on the girl's face, which is reserved, elegant, tranquil and graceful, with a faint scent of fragrance.

Wen Leyu ran to Li Ye with a smile and reached out to take the big bag from Li Ye's hand.

Li Ye quickly stopped him and said, "Don't mention this, just help me carry my schoolbag."

Wen Leyu snatched a large handbag, swung it on his back with both hands, and his small body swayed.

But she still chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I can lift it."

Li Ye snatched the bag back again, took off his own small schoolbag, and put it on Wen Leyu's shoulder.

"The things in this bag are valuable, so watch carefully!"

"Ohhhh, okay, okay."

Wen Leyu immediately agreed and helped Li Ye protect the "valuable items".

Liu Muhan, who was not far away, saw this and sighed again.

【He really cares about girls’ feelings. 】

Liu Muhan happened to see Li Ye's schoolbag in the middle bunk. It was full of snacks and books. It was just a cover to deal with thieves. There was nothing valuable.

Giving the schoolbag to Wen Leyu now just makes her feel "very capable".

Watching the perfect couple talking and laughing as they walked away, Liu Muhan couldn't help but sigh.

[Not everyone can eat the peaches in the Peach Garden! Hehe~]

. . . .

After leaving the Beijing Railway Station, Wen Leyu was in trouble.

Because Li Ye had too much luggage, her bicycle couldn't fit it.

How can two people ride together after putting two large packages on the back seat?

Li Ye said without thinking: "You sit on the front beam, I will lead you."

Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye: "."

In the 1980s, many children sat on the front beams of their parents’ bicycles, but they were only children.

There was a movie in later generations called "Nine-story Demon Tower", in which the male protagonist sat on the front beam of a bicycle. It looked really old-fashioned, but also really incongruous.

Wen Leyu is already 1.7 meters tall, and she feels that if she sits on the main beam again, Li Ye will put his arms around her body.

Not suitable.

Li Ye saw Wen Leyu's shyness and quickly changed his words: "Then I'll sit in the front and you take me with you."

Wen Leyu puffed up his cheeks and said after a long while: "I can't carry all the luggage with me."

"Then wait for me."

Li Ye seemed to realize it later and unloaded the two large bags from the back seat of the car. He trotted to the luggage storage office at the station, and after storing them, he ran back without stopping.

"Can we go now?"

Wen Leyu narrowed his eyes, nodded his head vigorously, got on the bicycle and started pedaling.

"superior!"

Li Ye acted upon hearing this and jumped lightly onto the back seat of the bicycle.

Wen Leyu chose a 28 bicycle just to make it easier for him to carry him, but Li Ye had just had an idea and took a fancy to the beam of this bicycle.

[Alas, the girl born in 1982, her mind is really pure! If I were in the future, I would have a girl with my looks and figure.]

"Li Ye, what do you want to eat today?"

"Whatever. You are from the capital and you have the final say."

"I'm treating you to roast duck. Do you want Quanjude or Bianyifang?"

"Hey, Xiaoyu, you are rich now? You can even treat me to roast duck?"

"Of course," Wen Leyu said proudly, "I have pocket money every month now, so you can order whatever you want."

Li Ye smiled and said jokingly, "Don't you have your royalties deposited with me? Why are you spending other people's money?"

“.”

"I won't tell you anymore," Wen Leyu said with a blushing face, "Today I'll take you to eat roast duck, tomorrow I'll take you to eat braised pork, and the day after tomorrow I'll take you to eat pea yellow."

Li Ye felt his ears buzzing and his head a little dizzy.

I came to Beijing a week in advance because I had some things to do, but now it seems that everything has been arranged!

Happiness is also full.

"Ring, ring, ring, ring~"

Wen Leyu's cycling skills are average, so as long as he sees someone in front of him, he will press the bell hard from a distance.

This naturally shocked countless passers-by.

A young beauty, with her long, straight legs, was running around the street carrying a man.

Is this reasonable?

In the 1980s, when a woman drove a man, it was either a daughter driving her father, or a good man driving a disabled person.

These two are fine, the man behind them looks fine! How can they let a girl gasp for breath?

And that guy was squinting his eyes, as if he was enjoying smoking opium?

Fuck, you deserve a beating.

When passing by a group of bad kids, Li Ye even heard some nonsense words, "Hey, get down here and let me take over."

[Humph, I'm happy today and don't want to argue with you guys, so don't make yourself uncomfortable. ]

Li Ye sat on his wobbly bicycle, looked up at the azure sky, then looked at the modern buildings passing by, feeling extremely happy.

The gentle breeze brought the scent of the girl in front of him into his nostrils, making him feel extremely comfortable.

This is the taste of pure love!

In a few decades, they will be rare commodities!

The vacation is over. Lao Feng will adjust his state as soon as possible and then start to repay his debts. He owes the leader three updates and the brothers who have supported him all the way two updates, at least five updates. We will talk about the rest later.

Thanks to the book friend "20220918202310704" for the reward, thank you brother. Thanks(ω)
