Saturday.
The weather was sunny and the air was fresh.
Chen Jingyi went out.
She needs to take the special bus line to Qiantang.
Qiantang is located in the Hangzhou area, but it is right next to Chaocheng. Unfortunately, there is no direct subway access.
Fortunately, it only takes a little over an hour by bus to get there.
As Shen Jingyi sat at the bus stop waiting for the bus, she recalled the phone call she had with her brother after school yesterday.
She initiated the call, calling Sister Qingqian, but it was her brother who answered.
Chen Jingyi was not surprised at all by this.
"Brother, aren't you bringing Sister Qingqian back this week?"
Chen Jingyi is an excellent student with good grades, and it's currently the penultimate semester of high school.
Logically speaking, she should be studying hard.
Of course, in fact, she was indeed studying hard.
But perhaps because she cared too much about grades and "effort," she clearly understood the meaning of "pressure" at the age of seventeen.
Her brother, and Sister Qingqian.
Perhaps they won't deliberately take care of her or offer her advice.
But being with them, even just chatting and having them watch over her, made Chen Jingyi feel more comfortable.
so.
Shen Jingyi felt that when she asked her brother, "Are you coming back this week?", it sounded more like she was saying, "Please come back, okay?"
She was being a little coquettish.
Shen Jingyi doesn't like to act cute, especially towards her brother.
Because her attempts to be cute didn't work.
"I won't reply."
As expected, that was the answer I received.
“…Oh,” Chen Jingyi said.
"What's up?"
"without…"
"I have something to do."
Lu Yibei smiled and said, "There's a ball game."
"...Do you still participate in ball games?"
"A friend asked for help."
"oh."
Shen Jingyi said that there was nothing she could do about it. She composed herself and said, "Sister Qingqian will be watching too, right? Don't lose badly, give it your best."
Lu Yibei smiled slightly:
"Are you telling me how to do things? — And aren't you planning to come and cheer for your brother in person?"
Chen Jingyi was stunned for a moment.
Lu Yibei added, "It's in Qiantang, not far from your house. I'll send you the address—"
Then Shen Jingyi heard her sister-in-law, whose voice was clear and pleasant, ask from the side:
"Can't we go pick her up?"
Her brother then said helplessly, "To pick her up, we have to go to Chaocheng first, and then to Qiantang, which is a huge detour... Besides, she's already seventeen years old, it's just a bus ride. Shen Jingyi, you're not that stupid, are you?"
"You're the stupid one."
Shen Jingyi retorted, "Besides, I didn't plan to go."
"Oh, are you afraid that your brother's victory will make you, his little sister, seem useless in comparison?" Lu Yibei asked with a smile.
"Childish!" Shen Jingyi retorted angrily, "I was just afraid you'd lose too badly, and then I, as your younger sister, would lose face—"
Lu Yibei gave a cold laugh, then calmly asked:
Are you sure you're not coming?
"...My mom won't allow it."
"I've already called you. I'll take care of things with your mom."
"How do we handle this?"
"I just wanted to show you the atmosphere of Jiangda University... This time, all the people on my side at the game are students from Jiangda University," Lu Yibei said.
Chen Jingyi was somewhat tempted.
"If you're not coming, then hang up," Lu Yibei urged.
Shen Jingyi quickly said, "Since you've begged me so much, I'll reluctantly come and see you."
And so, it evolved into what it is today.
As the bus arrived, Chen Jingyi boarded, scanned the QR code, and found a seat.
She scrolled through her chat history with Qingqian after finishing the call.
Sister: There are only a few of us.
Sister: It's best if you come.
indeed.
Shen Jingyi thought to herself, Qian Tang is too far away from Jiangda.
If everyone cheers for the opposing team during the game, then her brother will be too pitiful.
I'll reluctantly help... while I'm helping, I'll also take the opportunity to mock her brother's pathetic popularity.
Chen Jingyi's phone vibrated.
Brother: Get off at this stop.
[Brother: Map location]
[Brother: Then just drip it over here.]
Brother: 'Transfer money'
Brother: Someone will pick you up when you arrive.
[Quietization Ritual: Oh]
[Brother: Not extravagant]
Brother: I was afraid you'd get lost.
[Brother: I've put it on my tab. Remember to pay me back when you start working.]
[Calmness Instrument: Am I that stupid??]
[Brother: Remove the word '吗']
"…hateful."
Chen Jingyi cursed under her breath.
The bus was driven very smoothly.
Chen Jingyi got out of the car and then did as Lu Yibei had instructed.
Just as she had predicted, she arrived at her destination in an hour.
Then, as her brother had suggested, Chen Jingyi hailed a Didi ride.
After getting off the bus again.
Chen Jingyi looked around blankly.
The familiar winter sun still shines overhead, but the surrounding scenery is unfamiliar.
Chen Jingyi rarely travels far alone.
For a seventeen-year-old girl like her, traveling alone from Chaozhou to Hangzhou is already considered a "long journey".
Chen Jingyi had only taken two steps when she reached the door.
But she was unsure whether she should go in.
When she thought about calling her brother to confirm first.
"Hello."
An unfriendly voice called out to her.
For a moment, Shen Jingyi thought she was blocking the way. She was about to apologize when she saw who it was and immediately exclaimed with delight, "Brother Zhao Sun!"
The person who arrived was Zhao Xun.
He had stayed at Lu Yibei's house before, so he knew this younger sister.
