Chapter 2
Three o'clock in the morning.
The train stops at Weicheng Station.
On the platform, passengers squeezed into the carriages carrying large and small bags.
The sound of rolling wheels and the sounds of cursing and pushing all rushed into Lin Jiu's ears.
She frowned in pain and moved her stiff body slightly, still in a semi-asleep state.
Not awake.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang at close range, which made Lin Jiu's heart beat wildly.
She opened her eyes reluctantly.
A thin man in a wrinkled white shirt was standing in the aisle next to the seat across from her, carrying a suitcase.
He was staring at the person in the seat.
I don’t know when.
The tattooed uncle who sat diagonally opposite Lin Jiu sat opposite him, and a little boy was sleeping in his original seat.
The tattooed uncle was sleeping soundly with his arms folded over his chest, snoring intermittently.
The man in the shirt was afraid of the pattern of a tiger descending the mountain on the tattooed uncle's sturdy arm. Seeing him sitting in his seat, he only dared to make a little noise in a tactful way and did not dare to wake him up directly.
result......
The tattooed uncle didn't wake up at all.
The woman sitting by the window in the same row was woken up by the noise. She took a few glances and figured out what was going on.
She held the sleeping boy next to her on her lap, looked at the tattooed uncle and wanted to say something, but did not speak.
Finally, she reached out and gently patted his shoulder.
The snoring stopped abruptly——
After the tattooed uncle woke up, he first looked at the woman, then at the man in the shirt standing next to him.
After a few seconds of silence, he stood up, as sturdy as a mountain. He lowered his head to the man in the shirt and said apologetically, "Sorry, I took your seat."
The man in the shirt didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to. He smiled and said kindly, "It's okay, I just came up."
The tattooed uncle immediately sat back in his seat.
The man in the shirt sat down next to him.
Nothing happened.
......
Lin Jiu watched the whole process quietly, his mind became clearer and he was no longer sleepy.
Yu Guangzhong suddenly caught sight of the boy sitting across from him.
She turned her head slightly to look sideways.
He was wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of black glasses, and was sipping water with his head tilted back. His hair was a little messy due to his sleeping position, but it didn't affect his appearance at all.
In the muddy and messy carriage, he gives people a refreshing and clean feeling.
He is a handsome guy.
She silently made an objective evaluation in her heart.
Lin Jiu was about to look away, but after swallowing the last sip of water, he turned his head to look at her and smiled at her.
He was caught red-handed by the real owner.
Lin Jiu was slightly stunned, then smiled at him with the corners of his mouth pulled.
The smile is very fake.
He noticed her embarrassment, screwed the cap on the bottle, put the water on the table, and propped up his head to look out the dark window.
Seeing this, Lin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
She rummaged through her schoolbag, took out her cell phone, and prepared to kill some time.
WeChat has a message waiting to be read.
It is an avatar with a pure black background, her nickname is Centimeter, and she has no remarks.
Click on the dialog box to see the complete information——
When did you arrive at school, or did you arrive at school?
The time is 23:50.
By that time, she had already fallen asleep.
Lin Jiu stared at the message for a few seconds, then glanced at the upper left corner of the phone——
3:11.
She frowned, a little hesitant about whether to reply to the message at this time.
This time is also awkward.
Think about it for a few seconds.
She decided to reply anyway.
After seeing the news, she couldn't pretend not to see it.
and......
I don’t know when I will wake up next time.
She quickly poked the screen more than ten times and edited a short sentence: I'm on the train and will arrive at school today.
After replying the message, she felt that everything was fine.
Just as I was about to turn off the phone, the other party replied immediately.
CM: Why are you replying to my message at this time?
......
I should ask you this.
Lin Jiu complained silently in his heart, but typed a reply honestly: The train stopped, someone got on and was woken up.
There was no reply from the other side.
The next second, she asked back: "Why aren't you asleep yet? Replying to messages at this hour..."
CM: Meng Qinyang came to my place yesterday. He was so bored that he insisted on dragging me to stay up late playing games.
Looking at this message, Lin Jiu fell silent.
She didn't know how to respond.
Scratching her head, she finally uttered a few words: Take care of yourself.
Before the message was sent, another message popped up on the other side.
CM: When will you arrive? I’ll pick you up.
Lin Jiu was about to refuse, but the other party seemed to have predicted her thoughts and immediately added a sentence.
CM: Don’t reject me.
A pitiful emoticon was posted afterwards.
Seeing this soft and cute emoticon, Lin Jiu felt that his character was really a bit broken...
but......
Very cute.
Lin Jiu tapped a few times with his fingers, cut off the screen, and went to the travel app to check his ticket information.
Jiubujiu: Jinhai Railway Station, K913, arrived at 14:35.
CM: Okay. You take a nap. I'll pick you up this afternoon. I'll contact you then.
Jiubujiu: Yeah.
After the chat ended, Lin Jiu felt a little annoyed.
She didn't want to meet Chen Miao so early.
But he had already said that, and I couldn't bring myself to refuse.
The consequence of not refusing is...
She got a headache just thinking about the train arriving.
......
Jinhai City, Yujinglong Bay.
A room with lights on.
A boy in Hawaiian-style pajamas lay on his back in the corner of the sofa.
He had a cell phone on his stomach, his hands hanging at his sides, and he was looking at the oil painting hanging on the opposite wall with boredom.
In the other corner of the sofa, sat a boy wearing simple blue pajamas.
He rested his elbows on his spread legs, leaning forward, his slender fingers swiping across the screen, setting the alarm.
"Are you not finished talking yet? Do you want to play games?"
Meng Qinyang turned his head and looked to the side.
A few minutes ago.
Meng Qinyang and Chen Miao were playing in a duo and were fighting fiercely with the opponent.
On the way, a message popped up on Chen Miao's phone.
then......
Chen Miao clicked on the message and started chatting.
After the game character died, Meng Qinyang had nothing to do and just lay dead on the sofa.
Chen Miao put away his phone and replied to him: "No more playing. I have something to do tomorrow. Go to bed early." He tilted his head back, twisted his neck, stood up and prepared to leave the room.
Hearing this, Meng Qinyang complained softly: "If you hadn't insisted that I stay up late with you, I would have already gone to bed..."
Seeing that Chen Miao was about to pass by him, Meng Qinyang took his cell phone, flipped over, and stood in front of him.
"etc."
Chen Miao took a few steps back, hugged his chest and looked at the person who blocked his way, "What?"
Meng Qinyang glanced at Chen Miao's face, which looked about the same as usual, with no expression. But he could sense that Chen Miao was in a good mood.
Thinking about the purpose of coming here from so far away.
Meng Qinyang believed that now was the right time to speak, as it was the right time, right place and right people.
He extended his hands very respectfully and swung them towards the sofa, "Sit down."
Chen Miao chuckled lightly, giving him a rare chance of face, and sat down, looking as if he was listening attentively.
"I'll give you a massage first so you can get a good night's sleep."
Meng Qinyang quickly walked behind Chen Miao and pinched his shoulders with a rather flattering attitude.
The prelude is too long.
Chen Miao impatiently slapped away the helpless hand on his shoulder.
He stood up and leaned against the desk beside him, and asked directly: "What on earth do you want to see me about?"
Meng Qinyang stood there shyly, with his brows lowered and his eyes submissive, looking like a pitiful little boy.
He said, "I want to borrow some money from you."
"How many?"
"One million."
After saying that, Meng Qinyang immediately glanced at Chen Miao's face. His expression was normal and his eyelids didn't even move.
He couldn't help but feel annoyed: I didn't say enough.
But the words were already spoken, and he couldn't change them.
Chen Miao supported himself on the table with his hands. He didn't say whether he would lend it or not. He just looked at Meng Qinyang and asked, "Auntie won't give you money?"
Meng Qinyang laughed dryly and told the truth, "After I received the admission letter from Binshan University, my mother didn't show any anger. This morning she told me that my monthly living expenses are two thousand yuan, no more."
When Meng Yu sentenced him, Meng Qinyang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, making him dizzy and dazed.
For him, this amount of money is too little and is of no use at all.
During the summer vacation, he had some savings, and after spending some money abroad, his pockets were cleaner than his face.
After thinking for a long time, he could only ask Chen Miao for help. Talking to him in person would increase the chances of getting the money.
Chen Miao remained silent.
Meng Qinyang had no choice but to hold his hands together and said pitifully: "Cousin, please lend me some money."
Chen Miao remained unmoved. He sneered and said sarcastically, "You didn't go to Jinghe University, but went to study on that small island in Binshan. You deserve it."
Meng Qinyang was stubborn and retorted quietly: "You didn't go to Jinghe University."
"I've already told my dad about it. What about you?"
Chen Miao looked at him with a forced smile: "You only notified your family after the acceptance letter arrived. In my opinion, your aunt is still soft-hearted and actually left you two thousand."
Meng Qinyang lowered his head and said nothing. This time he was in the wrong.
Meng Yu was a graduate of Jinghe University, and her request to Meng Qinyang was that he attend her alma mater. Meng Qinyang's grades were perfect for that.
Meng Qinyang didn't want to go to Jinghe City just because Ji Xin was there.
In high school, Meng Qinyang was always ranked lower than Ji Xin under his brilliance, and he really didn't want to be in the same city as him.
As for Gimhae City...
There is Chen Miao.
He didn't want to come either.
After much deliberation, Meng Qinyang decided to go to an unfamiliar city and chose Binshan University to study law.
There, prices are several times higher than in the mainland.
......
Meng Qinyang sighed, and seeing Chen Miao's indifferent expression, he asked desperately, "Are you going to lend it to me or not?"
"No."
After saying this, Chen Miao started walking away, completely ignoring Meng Qinyang who was standing frozen in place.
When he reached the door, he seemed to remember something, paused, and said to Meng Qinyang with his back turned, "Aunt He will come tomorrow at noon and want to have breakfast. You can help yourself."
“…”
Looking at the ruthless back, Meng Qinyang felt dizzy and stomped on the floor hard several times.
It's a pity that he was so careful to please Chen Miao.
result......
Chen Miao still had that dead look on his face, and soft words were of no use.
Although he failed to borrow the money, he was not discouraged.
There are still a few days before school starts, so he has plenty of time to take his time.
......
After being woken up at three o'clock, Lin Jiu woke up again.
Around six o'clock, a man who was in a hurry to pee banged on the door and yelled, "Hurry up, whoever's inside, I can't hold it any longer."
No one came out of the two bathrooms, so the man kept banging on the door, roaring, banging on the door, and roaring...
Occasionally a mixed doubles match.
Lin Jiu's heart almost beat out of his chest.
She stared at the man with dull eyes.
Before taking the train, she was looking forward to this long journey and thought it would be interesting.
After the real experience...
She smiled and silently doubted her life.
Her butt was already numb, and she had to endure the air mixed with various smells for a long time.
What she hated most was the smell of cigarettes, which always drifted into her nose through the gaps between the carriages.
Fortunately, it was her first time traveling, and the novelty of it forcibly suppressed other feelings...
Uncomfortable, but bearable.
Finally someone came out of the bathroom. The man rushed in and slammed the door shut. When he came out he felt refreshed.
Without this noise source, the carriage became much quieter and most people took a nap.
Lin Jiu did the same and went back to sleep with his neck stiff.
Woke up again at 11 o'clock.
She went into the small bathroom and washed up briefly.
After coming out, I looked much better.
When she returned to her seat, the three people opposite her had already started chatting.
They all went to Jinhai City.
A single mother who goes out to make a living with her son, a fitness coach who gets tattoos to cheer up his daughter, and a white-collar worker who suffers from bullying in the workplace.
Lin Jiu listened quietly with an empty stomach. She was not good at joining in this kind of multi-person chat across age groups.
The boy next to him occasionally interjected and responded.
Seeing that Lin Jiu was too silent, the fitness coach suddenly asked, "Girl, you are going to Jinhai City too, right? What are you doing there?"
The four of them focused their attention on her.
Lin Jiu hummed and replied, "Just finished the college entrance examination and went to college."
Hearing this, the boy propped up his head and asked, "Which school?"
"Gimhae University."
A hint of surprise flashed across the boy's eyes, and he smiled and said, "I'm also a student at Jinhai University. I'm a junior this year, so I'm considered your senior."
"Ah?" Lin Jiu's eyes widened slightly, in disbelief, "What a coincidence?
The boy pushed the frame of his glasses with his index finger, lowered his eyes and sighed softly, "It's really a coincidence."
The three people on the opposite side knew that the two went to the same school, so they urged them to add each other's contact information.
Everything went smoothly.
After adding the Penguin account, the two of them briefly exchanged basic information.
Lin Jiu knew the boy's name.
His name is Qin Zheng. He graduated from Guicheng No. 1 Middle School with a major in computer science and technology, and is affiliated with the School of Computer Science and Technology.
Lin Jiu felt that Qin Zheng was quite warm-hearted and shared a lot of campus knowledge with her.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Zheng sent another message.
Qin Zheng: We are all at the Huaihai campus. How about I take you to school with me?
Lin Jiu stared at the message for a few seconds and finally refused: Thank you, but no thanks.
Looking at the content of the chat, she felt that the rejection was too abrupt and explained: A friend will come to pick me up later, we have an appointment.
Qin Zheng: You can come to me if you have any problems in the future.
Lin Jiu: Yes, thank you, senior.
Finally, she ended the chat with a cute expression.
