It's only a ten-minute drive from the east of Hangzhou to the west of Chaozhou.
Ji Qingqian watched the neon lights outside the window recede into the distance, and soon it was time to get off the bus.
The station is a bit of a distance from the small town north of the land.
Previously, we could only take the bus or a taxi, but it has become much more convenient since the intercity light rail opened in the last two years.
The light rail whizzed past on the tracks.
Shortly after, they were notified that they had arrived at their destination.
The light rail stations are built at high altitudes.
After getting off the light rail, Ji Qingqian took advantage of the elevation difference to roughly survey the town.
According to Abei, the location where this station was built is already considered the most prosperous location in the town center.
Looking around, it was indeed so. Although it wasn't as bustling as Hangzhou, the place she saw was small but complete.
There is a square to the west of the main north-south road, and another square to the east.
Putting aside the fact that there were supermarkets on both sides, Ji Qingqian even saw a KFC store, as well as Ari Coffee and many milk tea shops.
"You actually call this the countryside..."
Ji Qingqian complained that it looked just like a small county town.
People were strolling leisurely in the square, and further away, square dance enthusiasts were dancing to the song "The vast horizon is my love".
"After the intercity light rail opened, the town changed every day."
Lu Yibei gently explained to Ji Qingqian, "Things have been stabilizing recently. The last two times I came back, I was always amazed by the changes."
"…Um."
Ji Qing took a deep breath.
The air quality was not significantly different from that in Hangzhou.
Did Abei breathe this kind of air when he was a child? Ji Qingqian wondered.
It's a bit cold outside.
Lu Yibei reminded her, "Get dressed."
The rains of the past few days have effectively suppressed the lingering summer heat, with temperatures dropping below 20 degrees Celsius after sunset.
The Northeastern superwoman's good physique and background made her perception less obvious.
However, after hearing Lu Yibei's words, she still pulled out the plaid shirt from the white canvas bag that was slung over her chest.
“I thought you had quite a few clothes, heroine…” Lu Yibei said helplessly, “You don’t have to wear this one all the time.”
Ji Qingqian gave him a cold sideways glance, as if asking if he had a problem with it.
Lu Yibei immediately became obedient.
Lu Yibei also took out the same shirt from the canvas bag he was carrying.
He's quite sensitive to the cold, and even though the subway in Hangzhou had air conditioning on, he took out a small shawl and wore it for a while.
Ji Qingqian glanced at Lu Yibei's, then at her own:
"Switch with me."
"Same style," Lu Yibei said.
"Your color is beautiful," Ji Qingqian said.
One is grayish-white, the other dark blue; both are unremarkable and simple colors, but…
"good."
Lu Yibei had no choice but to laugh and switch with her.
Ji Qingqian immediately put it on.
Lu Yibei felt that the clothes Ji was wearing did not fit him very well.
Because of his height, and the inherent body size difference between men and women, the shirt fit Ji Qingqian at least two sizes too big.
After Ji Qingqian put it on, it was a little loose around the shoulders, not to mention that even her hands were covered, with only a little bit of her slender white skin showing.
Even though it doesn't fit, it still looks pretty good.
Covered in an oversized shirt, the female warrior Ji lost some of her heroic bearing, but became all the more endearing.
Perhaps this is the charm of "boyfriend shirts".
Ji Qingqian followed behind Lu Yibei as they descended the elevator together.
She raised her arm and gently sniffed the scent on the shirt.
This is a scent unique to teenagers.
Her clothes had been washed many times, and now only the scent of laundry detergent remained. Although it wasn't unpleasant, it no longer had the power to soothe the soul.
Ji Qingqian felt increasingly nervous the closer she got to Abei's grandparents.
But wearing the shirt that Ah Bei wore can provide great relief.
When she was enveloped in the boy's scent, she always felt as if he were holding her tightly...
But she wouldn't say this to Lu Yibei.
She loves his scent... It sounds pretty perverted to say it out loud, like she's a cannibal.
She took two deep sniffs at her cuff, and her tightly pursed lips curled up slightly.
The two of them got off the escalator one after the other and exited from Exit A. The taxi that had just arrived was already waiting by the roadside.
There are shared bikes and electric scooters right outside the subway station, making it quite convenient to get to Lu Yibei's home.
Lu Yibei usually rides his bicycle home, but today he brought an extra suitcase, which was really inconvenient.
The taxi driver didn't say much. After verifying the phone number, he took the two people off.
The distance is very short, only a few hundred meters.
Ji Qingqian only looked at the scenery of the small town outside the car window for a short while before getting off the car again.
The driver dropped her off at the intersection, and Ji Qingqian let Lu Yibei hold her hand as he led her home.
Lu Yibei said his family lived in the countryside, but it was quite different from the countryside that Ji Qingqian had imagined.
This village…
Or it could already be described as a "residential community," as they are indeed all self-built houses.
However, all the self-built houses look very similar in appearance.
Same building height, same exterior wall color.
The relocation and demolition in Chaocheng is quite severe. In the past ten years, the distinctive rural self-built houses have all been transformed into this "new rural" style.
On the surface, it looks more like a residential area in a county town.
But in terms of form, it's still the same old neighborhood routine.
In the evenings, people would visit each other's homes, chat idly at their doorsteps, and so on.
Ji Qingqian and Lu Yibei had only walked a few steps when they saw an old woman greeting them:
