Chapter 27
Second year of high school, one week after National Day.
The head teacher announced to everyone that Jincai will hold a school sports meet next week.
The classmates were discussing excitedly, and Xia Ruirui was not idle either. As soon as the get out of class was over, she went to find the class monitor Yao Hui to sign up for the relay race.
After registering, she went to Class 16 of Senior 2 to find Shen Qingli to share this gossip.
After the classes were divided in the first year of high school, the two were not in the same class because they chose different subjects, but their relationship did not fade at all because of this reason.
Instead, it becomes more intimate.
After finishing gossiping with Shen Qingli, Xia Ruirui slowly returned to her class.
As soon as she entered the classroom, she saw a girl standing beside her seat with a test paper in her arms, looking very stiff.
Since the seat change, she and Shen Yuqing became deskmates, and her seat became very popular during every break.
Every time some girls come over to ask Shen Yuqing questions.
However, Shen Yuqing's attitude was the same as when he first approached him, he was indifferent.
But...this girl.
Xia Ruirui glanced at the girl who was about to cry and felt a little sorry for her.
She remembered that this girl was Wang Kelly, who sat in the first row. She had bangs and was usually quiet and didn't like to talk much.
She was an extremely reserved girl, so she must have mustered up the courage to come over and ask Shen Yuqing questions.
Shen Yuqing is good-looking, and it is normal for a girl to admire a young man if she knows she is lustful.
Seeing the girl trying hard to hold back her tears, she felt a little sorry for her and sat back in her seat and laughed.
He said to her, "Wang Kelly, didn't you come to look for me? Why, since I wasn't around, you asked my deskmate?"
Xia Ruirui pulled the girl to sit at the table in front of her and said, "Tell me how to solve this problem."
The girl did not resist, she quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve, and without looking at Shen Yuqing, she patiently explained it to Xia Ruirui.
She waited until the bell rang before returning to her seat and looking back at her gratefully.
Xia Ruirui smiled slightly and sat down in her seat.
The math teacher had already walked up to the podium from the front door. Xia Ruirui took the opportunity to look at Shen Yuqing and said in a low but serious voice: "Shen Yuqing, I don't think it's good for you to do this."
Shen Yuqing just glanced at her lightly and ignored her.
"..." Xia Ruirui, who had been stabbed in the back, snorted and turned away without looking at him.
After she sat up straight, Shen Yuqing inadvertently glanced at her.
There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Just when Xia Ruirui was still reminiscing about high school in her dream, a voice woke her up.
"Xia Ruirui, wake up quickly."
She tried to distinguish the voice while half asleep and half awake, and it seemed to be Wang Kelly's voice.
Kelly Wang?
Yes, this guy was so introverted when he was studying, and he has changed the most many years after graduation.
She wanted to laugh when she thought of Wang Kelly’s bangs in her dream.
Xia Ruirui held her head, which was a little dizzy due to the hangover, and opened her eyes to look at Wang Kelly.
"What?" When she saw Wang Kelly trying to lift her quilt, she hugged the quilt tightly and refused to get up.
Seeing that she was always in a bad mood, Wang Kelly went to the bathroom, dipped her hand in some ice water, and applied it to Xia Ruirui's forehead.
Xia Ruirui was startled by the cold: "What's wrong?"
"We should go." Wang Kelly looked at her seriously.
"Huh?" Xia Ruirui was confused. "Where are we going?"
"Yunjin City."
"? What are you going there for?"
"Did you forget about the train tickets you booked last night?"
“…What!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Xia Ruirui jumped up from the bed and pointed at Wang Kelly with an expression of disbelief.
As if she felt that the other party was playing a prank on her, she checked her phone and found that she had actually bought the ticket!
And there are still three hours until ticket checking! ! ! ! !
She opened her mouth and stared at Kelly Wang in amazement: “When was it decided?”
"..." Wang Kelly was also a little confused. Xia Ruirui didn't remember anything. "After drinking, you forgot everything?"
"...Yeah." Xia Ruirui was stunned.
“…”
Seeing the ridiculously expensive sleeper ticket, Xia Ruirui felt a pang of pain in her heart. After thinking it over, she decided that she couldn't waste the money.
So in a hurry, she began to pack her luggage in a panic.
After they hurriedly prepared themselves and took a taxi to Yunjin Railway Station, Xia Ruirui exclaimed, "It's over. I think I forgot to turn off the gas."
"It's already closed."
"are you sure?"
Wang Kelly's veins popped up: "Yeah."
Xia Ruirui slept all the way from the taxi to the airport.
"Xia Ruirui, we're at the train station."
"……Um."
After passing security, the two checked their tickets and boarded the train.
The two of them booked a sleeper berth, Xia Ruirui was on the upper berth, and Wang Kelly let Xia Ruirui lie on her middle berth, while she sat on the small coffee table by the window of the train, looking at the scenery on the road without blinking.
His face was filled with the joy of freedom.
Xia Ruirui looked at Wang Kelly, who was so happy even though she had only slept for a few hours, and was confused.
Because she was really sleepy.
She took off her shoes, climbed onto the middle bunk, picked up the quilt and wrapped herself in it, then turned her back to the owner and fell asleep again.
When she woke up, it was already night.
Xia Ruirui was abruptly awakened by the delicious smell of instant noodles. She peeked over the railing and found that the old lady in the lower bunk was eating instant noodles.
She licked her lips out of greed, looked around, and found that Wang Kelly was still looking at the scenery outside the window.
Xia Ruirui yawned and looked out the window at the endless rice fields. I don't know what she was looking at.
She got off the berth and looked at Kelly Wang: "Have you eaten? Let's go to the dining car to eat something."
Wang Kelly glanced at her and took out a pile of cooked food from her bag.
Looking at the duck neck, rice balls, and sushi in the bag, Xia Ruirui swallowed her saliva with a look of surprise on her face: "My sister, when did you prepare this?"
"During the few hours you sleep."
“…”
While the two were eating, the train arrived at the station and a small group of people got on.
The person who slept across from them also got on the bus. He was a man wearing a windbreaker and a baseball cap, so his appearance couldn't be seen clearly, but he seemed to be the same age as them.
Just then the conductor came over to check the tickets, and Xia Ruirui handed her her ticket.
"Xia Ruirui, upper bunk in carriage 12."
As she spoke, she took a look at Xia Ruirui's ID card, compared it, and after confirming that it was her, she returned the document to her.
After checking the two people's ID, the flight attendant went to check the man in the windbreaker.
After the flight attendant left, Wang Kelly came over and whispered in Xia Ruirui's ear, "Just now, that man heard your name and secretly glanced at you."
Upon hearing this, Xia Ruirui looked at the man again. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the brim of the man's hat was pulled down even lower, making it even harder to see what he looked like.
She turned her gaze to Wang Kelly and said teasingly, "At least he's not a wanted criminal."
“…”
Wang Kelly sneered, thinking that Xia Ruirui was really boring, so she climbed onto the upper bunk and started playing with her cell phone.
Xia Ruirui looked at her without saying anything. She went to the toilet and then climbed onto the bunk to continue sleeping.
She doesn't like sleeping facing others, she always sleeps facing the wall.
Therefore, she did not notice the scrutiny behind her.
Another night passed and we were finally arriving in Yunjin. The train would arrive in 20 minutes.
Xia Ruirui looked at the endless mountains outside the small window of the train and felt a little excited.
She is from the south, and the places she has been to, such as Beijing Yijing and Xijing, are either full of small bridges and flowing water or bustling with traffic.
Looking at the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas so close to nature, she felt both curious and fascinated. After all, this impromptu trip was worth it.
As she spoke, she patted Wang Kelly's arm, her tone slightly expectant: "When we get to the station, let's go try the special dishes here first."
A light mocking voice came from behind.
Xia Ruirui raised her eyebrows and whispered to Wang Kelly, "Is it my illusion? Why do I feel like he's laughing at me?"
"I heard it too." Wang Kelly said confidently, "I told him yesterday that he saw you, but you didn't believe me."
“…”
Xia Ruirui looked back at the man in the opposite bed and found that he was reading a book. She turned her head away and pretended nothing had happened.
"The train is about to arrive. The next stop is Yunjin City Station. If you want to get off, please..."
The broadcast on the train was still playing in a loop. The two packed their luggage and headed towards the exit of the carriage.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the platform, they saw the man in the windbreaker getting off the train with them.
Wang Kaili nudged Xia Ruirui from behind, saying jokingly, "It's fate."
Xia Ruirui: “…”
Before she could complain about her friend, she felt her phone vibrate in her back pocket.
At a glance, it was Shen Yuqing calling.
Xia Ruirui pursed her lips and suddenly felt guilty as if she had been caught.
She looked at Wang Kelly, who had suddenly become much more obedient, and gave her a look of contempt.
"Hello?"
"Are you sober?"
"Ah?" Xia Ruirui was confused. "How did you know I was drinking?"
“…” Shen Yuqing curled his lips, without explaining, but changed the subject, “Why do I hear the sound of a train over there?”
"Ah." Xia Ruirui glanced at the platform, then looked at her phone suspiciously.
She wondered if Shen Yuqing had secretly installed surveillance for her, otherwise how could he be so resourceful.
"I came to Yunjin for tourism."
"Are you alone?" Shen Yuqing's tone was very indifferent, as if it was just a casual question.
Xia Ruirui glanced at Wang Kelly, who kept shaking her head, and betrayed her without hesitation: "No, with Wang Kelly."
Wang Kelly: “…”
"Yeah. It was fun. I'm going to hang up now."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, the two of them walked out with their suitcases.
Wang Kaili looked at her with a look of despair: "Chen Yuqing called to check on me?"
“…”
Xia Ruirui looked at her thoughtfully, "Why do I feel that you are a little afraid of Shen Yuqing."
Wang Kelly smiled bitterly when she heard this.
Except for Xia Ruirui, every girl who has ever thought of Shen Yuqing has been scared away by his unkind attitude.
How can I not be afraid?
But Wang Kelly didn't elaborate and just glossed over it.
After leaving the train station, the two went to a nearby noodle shop to eat hot beef noodles.
In tacit understanding, neither of them noticed the man in the windbreaker who passed by them.
He even stopped and looked at them thoughtfully for a few seconds, but they lowered their heads to eat noodles and didn't notice him.
It wasn't until Xia Ruirui noticed the vague gaze and looked up in the direction of the glass door that she saw only passers-by hurriedly coming and going.
"What's wrong?" Wang Kelly looked outside along her line of sight and didn't find anything special.
"Nothing." Xia Ruirui shook her head, getting rid of the strange feeling in her mind.
She just felt like someone was watching her...
