It was another three-day and three-night journey. This time, Yi Qingqing and the others were much more experienced. When the train was about to arrive at the station, they began to take their luggage and prepare. They wanted to be the first to leave the station as quickly as possible and then go to the bus station to occupy a favorable position, so as to avoid being late and having no place to sit and being squeezed uncomfortably.
At this time, Xie Shiyan suddenly took the initiative to help Wang Lingling pick up the big bag.
"What are you doing!" A hand suddenly reached out to her bag, and Wang Lingling was almost scared to death.
The previous experience of being robbed was a shadow in her life, and she became wary of anyone who approached her luggage.
"Let me help you carry your things. My father ordered me to take good care of you. I didn't have time to help you carry your luggage when you got on the train, so 10% of my living expenses was deducted. I dare not do that now." After Xie Shiyan finished speaking, he picked up his luggage and left first.
Of course Wang Lingling followed without stopping.
She couldn't just go and grab it, and it would be ugly if there was a tug of war, so she could only worry and sulk by herself.
Now Yi Qingqing understood more clearly that Xie Shiyan definitely had special feelings for Wang Lingling!
If you want to help, just help. Why make up such a lame excuse?
Could it be that the old man he was talking about has come here and sent someone to supervise him?
Only the little fool Wang Lingling believed it.
Xie Shiyan looks a bit feminine, and his excessive pursuit of beauty does not conform to the mainstream aesthetic of that era, which favors masculinity among gay men. But in later generations, he would have the appearance of a typical young handsome man.
With looks like this, in this era, he can never be the leading actor in a play, and can only be a supporting actor.
But judging from the description in the original book alone, this person's character is still acceptable.
Such development now may not be a bad thing.
So Yi Qingqing didn't interfere and comforted Wang Lingling, saying, "If he wants to bring it up, then let him bring it up. You should relax. When going to the countryside, many male educated youth helped female educated youth carry their luggage. This is a good quality of taking care of female comrades. No one will gossip about it."
Wang Lingling finally relaxed a little, still complaining: "Why is he like this? He is so far away from home, but he still listens to his family!"
Wang Lingling didn’t know what was wrong with her now. As soon as she saw Xie Shiyan approaching, she couldn’t help but step back.
Others are calm and composed, but she is like this. The more she is like this, the more embarrassed and ashamed she feels. All kinds of emotions are mixed together, and she is no longer like herself!
This time, Yi Qingqing and her friends ran fast and grabbed two seats to sit down. Xie Shiyan stood next to their seats.
The car swayed towards Tieling County.
They had also sent a telegram in advance to inform Li Mengxue and others of the time of their return.
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a cool row of five bicycles.
But there was a strange girl standing in front of Zheng Xiaolong, carrying a lot of luggage.
Yi Qingqing's heart sank. Because their seats were in the back row, they got off the bus a little late.
"Qingqing, Lingling, here!" Qian Lailai saw them getting off the car and waved to them.
Yun Guyuan had already walked up to Yi Qingqing, and Yi Qingqing called out to him, "A Yuan!"
"Qingqing, welcome back!" Although he didn't smile much, you could tell that he was very happy.
When they walked to the bicycle, they heard the unfamiliar girl talking to Zheng Xiaolong.
"Brother Zheng, did you come here specially to pick me up? I told you that I didn't want you to know because I wanted to give you a surprise."
"Why are you here? I'm not here to pick you up. I'm here to pick up another friend!" Zheng Xiaolong had a very ugly expression on his face and broke free from her hand that was pulling his sleeve.
"Who is she?" Li Mengxue frowned slightly.
"She...she..." Zheng Xiaolong didn't know how to introduce her. He had been hesitating about this and hadn't found a chance to tell Meng Xue about it.
"Hello, I'm Zheng's fiancée Chen Ruru. He didn't go home for the New Year this year, so I came to the countryside to accompany him. I'm very happy to meet you."
Chen Ru Ru smiled and stretched out her hand.
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and Chen Zhihe looked at his brother with confusion. When did he have a fiancée?
"Hello." Li Mengxue smiled stiffly and shook hands with her.
Then he said to Yi Qingqing and the others who had just arrived: "Welcome back, let's go back!"
He didn't even look at Zheng Xiaolong.
"Mengxue! She and I don't have that kind of relationship. I only treat her as a sister!" Zheng Xiaolong instinctively felt that Li Mengxue was angry and quickly explained.
"Brother Zheng, we are already engaged, will you still call me sister?" Chen Ruru seemed not to see the rejection in Zheng Xiaolong's eyes, and held him tightly with her hands.
"That was arranged by you. I don't agree with it at all and I don't admit it!" Zheng Xiaolong really didn't expect that even after he fled to the countryside, she would still follow him, like a piece of sticky candy that he couldn't get rid of.
As soon as he saw her, it was as if his suffocating home had opened its claws to him again.
"Mengxue, don't listen to her nonsense."
Li Mengxue looked at Zheng Xiaolong deeply.
She didn't want to listen to them arguing in public at all. She just wanted to leave this place of trouble.
"Let's go!" Yi Qingqing pulled her over at the right time. Some people who were watching the fun had already looked over here several times. It didn't matter if she lost her man, but she couldn't lose her dignity.
If she continues to say this, Li Mengxue will become a mistress.
"Brother, what you did was so stupid!" At the critical moment, Chen Zhihe decisively chose the girl he liked over his brother.
Qian Lailai also followed, pushing the cart.
"Mengxue!" Zheng Xiaolong wanted to chase after her, but Chen Ruru held him tightly.
"Brother Zheng, are you going to leave me here alone? I'm unfamiliar with the place, and there are so many things..."
"You!" Zheng Xiaolong didn't like her, but after all, they grew up together, so it was true that he treated her as his sister. Before the engagement, although he didn't like some of her habits and behaviors, he still had feelings for her.
He couldn't really leave Chen Ruru here alone, but he had to find Li Mengxue and explain things clearly.
"The captain is here to pick someone up. I'll take you over and you just follow him back to the village!" Zheng Xiaolong said in a bad tone.
…
Here, Yi Qingqing and the other six people, pushing their bicycles, had already run out of the square outside the station and were preparing to ride away.
Qian Lailai picked up Wang Lingling, Yi Qingqing tied the backpack to Yun Guyuan and took Li Mengxue on the back seat.
Chen Zhihe and Yun Guyuan each rode a bicycle.
"I'm leaving. Give me your bag!" Wang Lingling finally mustered up the courage.
Xie Shiyan handed her the bag and said, "Aren't you worried about how I'm going to get back?"
"Just walk back by yourself! I'm not worried!"
Wang Lingling took the bundle and snorted.
"How about I give you a ride?" Chen Zhihe said kindly, seeing that the two of them seemed to have a special relationship.
"No need, just help her carry the bag." Xie Shiyan refused and left with the things himself.
Wang Lingling couldn't help but look at the direction he was walking in several times, muttering, "You're not going to take the ride when someone else is offering you a ride, are you stupid?"
