After two days and one night of train travel, they finally arrived at their destination, Beijing. It was still afternoon when they arrived, and the sky was blue and cloudless.
Shen Zhizhu carried his own luggage on his back in advance, so he couldn't rely on Xu Haonan to carry his luggage for him on the rest of the journey.
Shen Zhizhu, who had worked hard for most of his life, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Luckily, I ate most of the food I brought with me on the road, and later I shared a lot with friends from all over the world. Otherwise, I really don't know how I would carry all the food."
She used to not understand why some people carried so many things with them when they went out, feeling miserable and happy at the same time.
Now I understand it too.
That's it, there were toiletries, some daily clothes, and two pieces of luggage. Xu Haonan looked at the small Shen Zhizhu carrying two large pieces of luggage.
"It's still early. I think I'd better take you to school first."
Xu Haonan had slightly less luggage than Shen Zhizhu, but it was nothing to him. In his heart, he really couldn't bear to see it.
"It's no big deal. I can do it myself."
[Although it's a bit heavy, there's a shuttle bus so it shouldn't be too difficult to get it done. Just make sure it doesn't delay his report.]
Xu Haonan was touched. He knew that his Ah Zhu was not unwilling to stay with him, but was worried that he would not have time to report to school.
Earlier on the train, Wu Ping'er said that if Shen Zhizhu didn't get into a school, how could he protect the other party? Although he felt that what he said was wrong, he was also afraid that Shen Zhizhu thought the same way.
"No, it's still early. I'll take you to school to report, and then I'll take the bus back. Anyway, there should be a lot of students reporting at this time, so I'll miss them a little bit."
Seeing Xu Haonan was so insistent, Shen Zhizhu didn't know what to say. He felt that what Xu Haonan said made some sense, so he didn't insist on his previous decision.
"Hey, that's great. We can walk together again. I love you so much, husband!"
At the train station, in a crowded place, Shen Zhizhu kissed Xu Haonan's face several times, not at all affected by other people's sight.
On the other hand, the 1.80-meter-tall man blushed in public and was in a mess.
Although Shen Zhizhu often said these words to him when he was at home, the times are different now. This is not their small village from the past, but the legendary city of Jing.
All around him were candidates who had passed the exam from all corners of the country, and they were all smart and capable people, but Ah Zhu not only did not avoid him, a boy from the countryside, but also treated him as usual.
Xu Haonan's heart was beating wildly, as if a rabbit was trying to jump out of his chest. He subconsciously covered his chest to prevent it from really jumping out.
He pretended to be calm and took a piece of luggage from Shen Zhizhu.
"Hey, there are so many people here, be careful, let's go, I'll go with you."
"I don't care about that. You and I are a legal couple. What's wrong with a kiss? If they want to watch, let them watch."
Shen Zhizhu tried to pull Xu Haonan with her free hand, but both of Xu Haonan's hands were full of luggage, so she had no choice but to give up.
Before she could take two steps, she felt a big, broad hand holding the hand she was about to take back.
It was Xu Haonan who put all the luggage in one hand, came out to Shen Zhizhu's side, and pulled her. Fortunately, the luggage consisted of some soft clothes and was not big.
"There are so many people here, don't get separated."
Shen Zhizhu looked up and smiled brightly at Xu Haonan, and the two of them walked hand in hand towards the bus that Shen Zhizhu needed to take.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Sister Yu Rou, I have never seen such a loving couple, they are indeed worthy of being like this, it's really enviable, don't you think?"
Wu Ping'er crossed her arms and nudged Chen Yurou beside her with her shoulder, gossiping with her in a low voice. Behind her were the Liu brothers who were hesitating and wanted to say something.
Chen Yurou didn't bring much luggage. For her, she could buy the things she needed when she arrived in Beijing. If she brought too many things, she would be tired carrying them, and her family didn't want her to suffer.
"Yeah, they have a really good relationship, but I'm not jealous. I just want to study hard now. Love and other things have to take a back seat."
Chen Yurou was so focused on starting school soon and learning knowledge to enrich herself that she didn't notice that among the two people behind her, Liu Yi was looking sad.
Wu Ping'er nodded with satisfaction. She noticed Liu Yi's expression. A sneer appeared on Wu Ping'er's lips.
"Yes, we two sisters should focus on studying. At this age, when our brains are at their best, we should study hard to improve ourselves. Sister Yurou, don't look at those stinky men. None of them has good intentions."
As expected, Liu Yi's expression became extremely speechless, and he finally couldn't help but speak.
"Sister Yu Rou, please stop talking nonsense, Wu Ping'er. What woman doesn't look for a man? She herself is not popular with men, but she wants to drag Sister Yu Rou to be with her and keep her company. It's really abominable."
"Liu Yi, you are talking nonsense. You don't understand Sister Yu Rou. You don't know what Sister Yu Rou wants or what she wants to do. You just impose your own ideas on her. You still have the nerve to say that to me. Who said that I am not popular with boys? You are the only one who is blind and cannot see my charm."
Wu Ping'er rolled her eyes at Liu Yi's words and couldn't help but curse back.
"Liu Yi, I just want to study hard and don't want to think about love right now. I don't understand it either. You should stop saying what you just said. Ping'er has a straightforward and lovely personality. There will be many people who like her and are willing to be friends with her. We are all her friends, aren't we?"
At this moment, Chen Yurou realized that she was probably really more inclined towards Wu Ping'er, but the main reason was that Liu Yi and Liu Xing seemed to have never grown up and always said things that made people dislike them.
She sighed inwardly, hoping that these years in college would allow them to grow and become truly sensible.
"Ahem, Xiaoyi was wrong. Xu Haonan has already sent Shen Zhizhu to school. I think there is plenty of time. Why don't we send you there as well? When we were leaving, Auntie and Uncle repeatedly reminded us to protect Sister Yurou's safety."
Liu Xing stepped forward at the right time to ease the tension between them and prevent his brother from being in too awkward a situation.
Wu Ping'er didn't have much luggage either. After she took her own luggage, she directly picked up Chen Yurou's luggage and said to the Liu brothers.
"No need for you. Sister Yurou only needs me. I will protect Sister Yurou well. You should report to school as soon as possible. I heard that the teachers in your school are very strict. Go early to leave a good impression on the teachers."
