Chapter 226 Going South (8)
The train arrives at the terminal at 8:30 the next morning.
In order to prevent oversleeping, Tian Xin set the alarm before going to bed. When she woke up, the alarm hadn't rung yet and the time showed only a little after 6 o'clock.
The carriage was stuffy and hot, and she felt thirsty, so she sat up and drank some water. As she stood up, her clothes slid gently onto the bed. She glanced at them and recognized that it was the shirt Lin Zhou had worn yesterday.
What's going on?
She looked at herself and her eyes fell on the only tank top left on her body. She gasped and immediately looked up at the opposite side.
The bunk across from him was neatly arranged, but Lin Zhou was no longer there. On the table lay pre-poured water and breakfast.
She quickly put on her clothes and got out of the car with the shirt.
Lin Zhou didn't go far, but stood in the aisle, yawning repeatedly as he looked out the window. His face was visibly tired, his eyes were swollen, and his dark circles were noticeable.
"Why are you up so early?" Tian Xin walked over and handed him the shirt: "Put it on, it's cold in the morning!"
Lin Zhou took the clothes and put them on, then glanced at her: "Why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still early!"
"I've slept all day and all night. I've had enough!" Tian Xin looked him in the eyes and said, "But you, didn't you sleep all night?"
"No, I... am used to getting up early! Getting up early makes my mind clear!" Lin Zhou explained.
"I thought I was disturbing you with my snoring!" Tian Xin looked at him and laughed, "Look at your black eyes, they look like you've been beaten!"
"Really?" Lin Zhou couldn't help laughing. "You're still snoring? Why didn't I hear it last night?"
"That's more than that! Besides snoring, I also sleepwalk and talk in my sleep occasionally. One time, Xiaoxu secretly tickled me while I was asleep, and I chased him and beat him up!"
Tian Xin said calmly: "So, if you saw me do anything out of the ordinary last night, don't make a fuss and quickly delete it from your mind!"
"Sleepwalking? Talking in your sleep? And hitting people?" Lin Zhou repeated in a low voice, then turned to look at her and smiled, "You actually have this side to you?"
"Yeah! You didn't expect that!" Tian Xin turned her head and looked out the window.
It was dawn, the sun hadn't risen yet, but the crimson glow of the sky was about to break through. The city was about to wake up and plunge into a rush.
Tian Xin felt a subtle sense of conflict as she thought about spending the next few days with Lin Zhou. This place wasn't unfamiliar to her; she had been there several times in her previous life. She knew everything about what was delicious and where the accommodations were convenient.
If she is alone, she can be casual and free and arrange things however she wants.
But now Lin Zhou suddenly followed him and he would have to spend the next few days with him. What should he do?
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, but her brows were getting tighter and tighter, Lin Zhou asked, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, after we get there... I might have to find someone first! You..." She hesitated and asked Lin Zhou tentatively: "Why don't you find a place to sleep first, and then we can find a place to meet up at night!"
"No, I'll go with you!" Lin Zhou said, "Don't worry about anything these days, I'll arrange everything!" "That's so embarrassing! How could I let you worry about these things? Besides, you're not familiar with this place!"
"Are you familiar with it?"
"I..." Tian Xin was stunned by the question, hesitated for a moment and changed the subject: "I'm not familiar with it either!"
"That's all right," Lin Zhou reached out and ruffled her hair, smiling at her gently, "Since you're not familiar with each other, just listen to me!"
“…”
All right!
——
The train arrived on time, and after more than 20 hours of long-distance travel, the two finally arrived in this city known as the "Capital of Small Commodities".
Yiwu is a county-level city. While not large in area, its per capita GDP is the highest among county-level cities in China. It is one of the nation's small commodity wholesale distribution centers, covering countless categories of small goods.
Of course, the most impressive and traded items are clothing, and most of the people who come here are doing wholesale business, shipping the goods to merchants across the country.
"There really are a lot of people here. They're all doing business. It's just like the rumors!"
Tian Xin sat in the taxi and pointed at the tall building opposite to Lin Zhou, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, that area should be the largest clothing wholesale market!"
Lin Zhou was holding his computer at the moment, looking up something. After listening to Tian Xin's introduction, he looked out the window, said "hmm", and then started staring at the computer screen again.
"What are you doing?" Tian Xin turned her head and glanced at the computer. Seeing that he was searching, she was immediately curious: "What are you looking for?"
"Check the nearby hotels and car parks!" Lin Zhou said.
"Do we even need to check? They're everywhere!" Tian Xin smiled and pointed outwards: "Aren't these all hotels?"
"No!" Lin Zhou said.
"No?" Tian Xin was confused: "What's wrong?"
"Messy and dirty!"
Lin Zhou finished speaking, closed his computer and put it in his bag. He turned his head and looked at her and said, "If I don't come with you, are you going to live in that kind of place?"
"No!" Tian Xin shook her head, then looked out the window and said, "That's too extravagant. I usually stay in a youth hostel!"
"What?"
"Don't make a fuss, it's very popular for single young people to stay in hostels!"
Tian Xin turned around and looked at Lin Zhou with a faint smile: "You must have never experienced it!"
That was indeed true. Lin Zhou hadn't experienced it before, but after hearing her say that, his curiosity piqued: "Is there any reason to try it?"
"Yes, I have!"
"What?"
“It’s cheap!”
“…”
This reason left Lin Zhou speechless. In his mind, food, clothing, housing, and transportation were extremely important. He was particularly prone to insomnia when traveling, so he was particularly picky about where he lived.
But Tian Xin was different, which made him feel very distressed, and he once again secretly felt that this trip was very necessary.
Lin Zhouding's hotel was some distance from the clothing wholesale market, so it wasn't convenient to walk there. After settling Tian Xin down, he rented a car.
Tian Xin was shocked and speechless when she saw the car he drove back was exactly the same as his. "No, brother, if you're spending money like this, how much will this trip cost? Have you planned it?"
"No!" Lin Zhou got out of the car, walked to her side, smiled and rubbed her hair: "What's the plan?"
"How can you plan without knowing it?"
"Is this necessary?" Lin Zhou said with a smile, "Could it be that you want to save me money?"
"I would like to, but you are so particular, I can't do anything about it even if I want to!"
Tian Xin sighed and looked at the car in front of her curiously: "Why do you rent the same car?"
"I'm used to it!" Lin Zhou said, "I'm not picky, I just adapted. Whether it's a car or a person. Once you follow someone for a long time, you get used to their presence, and it's hard to change!"
He turned his head, reached out and rubbed Tian Xin's hair again, and said with a smile: "This is my obsession, including you!"
