The day after Qi Yan left, Shi Jing dragged his luggage and left Tianyuan City.
She only told Qi Shuang that she was leaving, and Qi Shuang was the only one who came to see her off that day.
Qi Shuang originally wanted to go with her earlier, but considering that once school started, she would not be able to spend a long time with her parents, she finally decided to stay at home for a while longer.
To make traveling easier, Shi Jing only brought a carry-on suitcase and a backpack, leaving everything else with Qi Shuang.
At the high-speed rail station, Qi Shuang was a little downcast. She had just seen Qi Yan off, and now Shi Jing was leaving too.
"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Xiaoyan has gone abroad, and you're leaving too."
Shi Jing hugged her and comforted her, "Alright, you'll be going to the capital soon too. I'll pick you up then. I'll arrange a place to stay first, so you'll have somewhere to stay when you arrive."
Qi Shuang chuckled and hugged her back: "Okay, sure."
The high-speed rail connection from Tianyuan City to Beijing is very convenient. This wasn't Shi Jing's first time taking the high-speed rail, and he boarded the train smoothly.
When they were almost in Beijing, Rong Yu sent her a message saying that he had arrived at the Beijing high-speed rail station.
Rong Yu had just finished his project some time ago. He had successfully secured a place in a master's program last year and is now continuing his studies under his advisor.
Rong Yu hasn't had a proper rest for many years since entering university. This time, even his advisor couldn't bear to see it and specially gave him a month's leave.
Shi Jing learned from chatting with him that he had gone to the capital after his vacation, and their schedules happened to overlap.
Shi Jing exited the station and didn't see Rong Yu for a moment. However, a tall person wearing a mask and hat waved at her from a short distance away and walked over.
Only when the person got closer did Shi Jing realize that it was Rong Yu.
She looked at him with suspicion. Why was Rong Yu all armed?
After the two met, Rong Yu took her suitcase and quickly left the crowd.
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
Rong Yu had specially borrowed a car to pick up the person. As he pushed the suitcase toward the parking space, he heard Shi Jing's question and helplessly pinched his mask: "I was secretly photographed a few days ago."
Upon hearing this, and seeing that he was fully armed, Shi Jing realized that this was clearly a significant blow.
Her eyes lit up and she immediately understood: "It was posted online?"
Rong Yu replied helplessly, "Mm."
Shi Jing was very curious and quickly opened the entertainment app on her phone. She hadn't paid attention to gossip in a long time. After opening the app, she updated it first, and only entered the app after the update was complete.
Shi Jing glanced at the screen and wondered if the hype had died down, as he didn't see any related information on the homepage.
"Sharing this?" Shi Jing waved his phone.
Rong Yu had no choice but to say, "The trending topic from the day before yesterday should no longer be visible now."
"What's the entry name? I can find it myself."
"..." Rong Yu had no choice but to take her phone and type a line in the search bar.
Shi Jing took it and saw that the search bar was labeled "handsome guys on the street," while the trending search terms were "those handsome guys on the street who are stunning at first glance."
The entry popped up with a series of messages, and the photo at the top of the trending list was of Rong Yu sitting next to him.
Shi Jing flipped through the pages from top to bottom and finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
It turns out that after Rong Yu was secretly photographed by a passerby, the photo was sent to a marketing account. Unexpectedly, because Rong Yu was so good-looking, the marketing account attracted a small amount of attention after posting it. Later, a student from Dingda University posted a photo in response, mentioning that Rong Yu was a top student at the school. The combination of good looks and academic excellence immediately ignited the hype.
Shi Jing watched and laughed. Although it became a trending topic, it was relatively harmonious. The content was mainly satirical and admiring, and quite amusing.
Seeing that she was happy, Rongyu let her be.
Where are we going? Have we booked a hotel?
Since she was going on a trip, Shi Jing naturally booked a hotel in advance and sent the hotel address to Rong Yu.
Rongyu quickly adjusted the navigation and successfully drove the car onto the road.
Shi Jing continued scrolling through her phone.
The entry started with a photo of Yong-woo, and then other people gradually appeared. Overall, the atmosphere was quite good.
Later, some even lamented why these handsome men hadn't entered the entertainment industry. Of course, where there are suggestions, there are also opposition.
One of the comments, in particular, suggested that Yung-Yu might be an alumnus, and someone diligently explained Yung-Yu's achievements in the comments.
She entered university with high scores, became a student of a renowned professor in her sophomore year, joined a research institute in her junior year, and graduated early with all the required credits to pursue a master's degree. Such a talented individual is truly wasted by entering the entertainment industry.
From this perspective, Rong Yu is indeed very diligent in his studies, which explains why his mentor eventually couldn't stand it anymore and insisted that he get some rest.
"Where are you planning to go tomorrow?" Rong Yu asked, turning his head as they waited at a traffic light.
Shi Jing was scrolling through her phone when she heard the sound and turned her attention away.
"Tomorrow? I'm not going out tomorrow, I'll go buy some things first."
“Okay, then I’ll pick you up tomorrow,” Rong Yu replied naturally.
Shi Jing looked at him and teased with a smile, "Didn't your teacher tell you to take a break? You're driving me around every day."
"It's just driving, it's not tiring." Rong Yu glanced at her helplessly.
After getting into the car, Rong Yu had already taken off his hat and mask, and Shi Jing was indeed overwhelmed by his beauty when he glanced at her.
He looks somewhat different now than when he was a child. He was more childlike when he was a child, but now his features have fully developed.
No wonder a candid photo taken on the street can go viral; this person is getting better and better looking.
Shi Jing, of course, wouldn't refuse the handsome man's company, and smiled as she agreed: "Okay, then I'll continue to trouble you tomorrow."
With that, Shi Jing put away her phone and closed her eyes to rest.
The hotel was more than an hour away from Beijing's high-speed railway station, and the two didn't talk much along the way.
When they were almost at the hotel, Shi Jing finally spoke up and asked, "Where do you usually stay in the capital?"
"Xiao Ming has an apartment here, I'll borrow it for a few days."
Shi Jing naturally still remembered Xiao Ming, who was one of Rong Yu's roommates in college.
The light turned green, and the car smoothly got back on the road.
When they arrived at the hotel where Shi Jing was staying, it was already 5 p.m.
Shi Jing glanced at the time and said to Rong Yu, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go put down my luggage, and we'll have dinner together later."
Rongyu helped her take her suitcase down and carried it into the lobby.
"You've been on the road for so long today, shouldn't you rest first? It's fine to get together tomorrow."
Shi Jing chuckled: "No need, the high-speed rail is very convenient and not tiring."
The hotel service was very efficient; after verifying the order information, the front desk quickly issued the room key.
Shi Jing pushed the suitcase upstairs, threw the backpack and suitcase in the room, and only took a mobile phone before going downstairs.
"Let's go, there are plenty of restaurants nearby, let's grab something to eat," Shi Jing said.
It just so happened that the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they could chat while eating.
