To go to the provincial capital, you have to take a bus to the city first, then take a train from the city to the provincial capital, and then take a bus.
For Wang Zhaozhao, this trip was both novel and worrying.
What a hassle.
After gathering, we walked to the bus station. It was already 8:30 when we arrived, and there was a bus going to the city.
The city bus station is right next to the train station. The tickets they bought were for 10:30, so they would have to wait a little.
It was Wang Zhaozhao’s first time taking a train. As soon as he entered the station, he looked around... It was very noisy.
Not very comfortable, but bearable.
After staggering along, we arrived at the provincial capital at around three in the afternoon.
As soon as you get off the train, you're greeted by the sheer popularity of the crowd.
There are so many people here, it's terrifying.
The teachers leading the team were Wang Zhaozhao's math teacher Ding Haiying and the teacher from the Academic Affairs Office Zhou Donglai. They were very cautious, with Ding Haiying leading the way in front and Zhou Donglai following behind.
After exiting the station, there was a bus stop next to the square. After riding for seven stops and walking for about ten minutes while asking for directions, we arrived at the designated '101 Guesthouse'.
Wang Zhaozhao, Xu Yanni, Ding Haiying and Li Shengnan stayed in two double rooms respectively, while Zhou Donglai, Qin Hongjun and Zheng Yimin stayed in a triple room.
Wang Zhaozhao went to the bathroom, washed his face, and collapsed on the bed. "Tired..."
"You are too pampered." Xu Yanni came out of the bathroom wiping her face.
"Aren't you tired?" Wang Zhaozhao rolled over.
Xu Yanni threw herself on the bed and rolled comfortably, "I'm not tired, I just want to sleep until dinner time."
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
So they fell asleep.
When I was woken up by a knock on the door, I looked outside and it was already dark.
Xu Yanni's bed was close to the door, so she went to open it. Wang Zhaozhao sat up, yawned, and stood there in a daze.
Ding Haiying came in and saw her like that. He came over and patted her, "Classmate Zhao Zhao, comb your hair and wash your face to wake up. We have to go eat. If we go too late, there might be no food left."
"Ah..." Wang Zhaozhao yawned and raised his hand to pat his face.
Pa pa pa.
Ding Haiying: “……!”
As expected of you, you study hard and take pictures of yourself hard.
This had a very good effect in refreshing Wang Zhaozhao. She woke up, tied her hair casually behind her head, washed up simply, and followed them to the cafeteria.
The No. 101 Guesthouse in the provincial capital is only slightly bigger than the Lianshan City Steel Plant Guesthouse, and its cafeteria is not even as good as the Steel Plant Guesthouse... This is Wang Zhaozhao's personal opinion.
Because there is no dish as amazing as steamed pork with rice flour.
After dinner, Ding Haiying suggested going out for a walk.
Wang Zhaozhao and the others were naturally happy about it. It was the provincial capital, and it was quite lively at night.
After walking a short distance, there was a square with a lot of people.
Young men and women on dates, people strolling or watching their children, people in a hurry, children laughing and playing, vendors setting up stalls or walking around selling their wares...
"Is this the big city?" Wang Zhaozhao exclaimed, looking like he had never seen the world.
"It's so lively and prosperous, right?" Xu Yanni said with her head tilted.
“…” Wang Zhaozhao pursed her lips and nodded.
It’s really lively.
They blended in, walked around casually, and stopped in front of a fountain.
"It would be nice if we had a camera." Xu Yanni suddenly said.
Wang Zhaozhao looked around and thought, if I set up a photo booth nearby, business should be good, right?
There were no cameras, so they couldn't take pictures, so they just looked and left.
Then, we arrived at the examination site for tomorrow - Baimin Experimental Middle School.
It was already dark, and even though there were street lights, I could only see vaguely.
The main purpose is to check out the location and get to know the route so that you don’t have to find the way tomorrow.
After returning to the guesthouse, Wang Zhaozhao took a shower and got into bed, taking out a novel to read.
Xu Yanni was taking a shower behind her and did the same after coming out.
"Hehe, I also brought an extracurricular book." She said with a chuckle.
"Do your parents know?" Wang Zhaozhao asked her.
"I know! I told them to relax their minds before the exam, and they thought so too."
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao stopped talking and silently gave a thumbs up.
After that, neither of them spoke. At ten o'clock, Wang Zhaozhao put down the book, went to the bathroom, and came back saying it was time to go to bed.
She lay down and yawned, and soon she felt sleepy.
"scare!"
Suddenly, as if "dying from illness", Wang Zhaozhao jumped up wrapped in a quilt.
"Xu Yanni, what are you doing?" Seeing the person standing by the bed staring at her, Wang Zhaozhao looked up at the sky helplessly, covering her pounding chest.
Wang Zhaozhao was so angry that she wanted to swear.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she vaguely felt someone staring at her beside the bed...
"Zhao Zhao..." Xu Yanni said embarrassedly.
"explain."
"Can I sleep in the same bed with you tonight?"
"Why? There are two beds, why do we have to squeeze into one?"
Wang Zhaozhao refused.
Xu Yanni scratched the back of her head awkwardly. "Well... I, what I just read... was... a ghost story book..."
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
So you are good at cooking and love to watch?
Xu Yanni seemed to understand her look and explained sheepishly, "I'm usually not afraid at home, but just now, when I went to the bathroom, I was, I was... scared. This is a guesthouse... Woo woo..."
That’s really great!
I came out to take part in a competition exam and brought a book of ghost stories with me. I read it the night before and it scared me!
Wang Zhaozhao didn't say anything, just stared at the person standing beside her bed.
Until Xu Yanni couldn't stand her stare anymore.
"This is a small bed, it's not comfortable for two people to sleep in. We are in the same room, and the beds are so close, just an arm's length away, it's almost the same as sleeping in the same bed. It's okay, be good, go to sleep."
Xu Yanni looked at the two beds. In fact, she thought that it was okay for them to sleep in one bed since they were both very small.
However, since the other person was unwilling to sleep in the same bed, she was too embarrassed to force him.
"...Then can I hold your hand?" She compromised.
"Do you think it's easy to sleep like that? Besides, you'll catch a cold, right?"
"That's right, we have a competition and exam tomorrow."
“…”
You still remember that there is a competition exam tomorrow!
Wang Zhaozhao sighed. "How about you go lie down on the bed and try to get some sleep? I'll try to wait until you fall asleep before I go to sleep. But if I fall asleep first, don't wake me up..."
I'm afraid I might lose my temper and hit you.
"Well, alright then."
Xu Yanni nodded in understanding, climbed onto the bed, lay down and covered herself with the quilt.
Wang Zhaozhao got up and went to turn off the lights.
She was so scared that she couldn't sleep alone, so she couldn't blame him for going to bed without turning off the lights, right?
Wang Zhaozhao went to the door and was about to turn off the lights when he saw Xu Yanni staring at him with her big eyes. He reminded her, "Close your eyes. I'm turning off the lights."
"Oh." Xu Yanni closed her eyes obediently.
Wang Zhaozhao turned off the lights with a click.
