Chapter 171 Soft Sleeper
Chen Zhiyan is still the unshakable first place.
The top six students will continue to come to Tsinghua University for training after the New Year, until they go to the United States to participate in the International Mathematics Competition in March next year.
Li Wenxi went to the train station to buy a train ticket to go home for the New Year.
Originally, she should have bought the train ticket earlier, but before that, Li Wenxi's mind was all on the exam and she had never thought about this matter. Now that everything has settled, Li Wenxi finally has the time and energy to buy the ticket.
But when she arrived at the train station, she found that she couldn't even squeeze into the ticket hall.
After finally finding the ticket line for the train to Ningcheng, she heard the people in front say that the tickets they lined up for were for after the New Year, and the tickets before the New Year had already been sold out.
Li Wenxi was stunned. The ticket to Beijing was bought by a teacher from the province. This was her first time buying a train ticket by herself, so she had no idea that it would be so difficult to buy a ticket before the New Year.
Li Wenxi thought to herself that if she went home after the New Year, it would be better not to go home, because she would not be able to stay at home for a few days before coming here.
She suddenly felt a little nervous, and she didn't know if the dormitory would be available for accommodation during the winter vacation.
Li Wenxi wrapped her cotton jacket tightly again, braved the cold wind, and hurried back to school. As soon as she arrived downstairs of the dormitory, she saw Chen Zhiyan waiting at the door of the dormitory.
He was wearing a long black down jacket and a black scarf. Just standing there attracted the attention of many passing girls.
"Chen Zhiyan? Aren't you going home today?" Li Wenxi stopped and looked at Chen Zhiyan curiously. What Chen Zhiyan said before was that he was taking a plane back to Nanshi today.
Chen Zhiyan came over with a smile, but did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, "How are you going to get back to Ningcheng?"
"I, I'm not going back. The train tickets are sold out." Li Wenxi was a little depressed, but soon smiled again, "It's just right to save time to do the questions well."
"I came here to ask if you want to buy a train ticket. My flight was delayed due to weather, so I plan to take the train back. In this case, we are going the same way. I have relatives who can help buy tickets for the same train. Do you want to buy tickets with me?" Chen Zhiyan smiled. "
Yes, yes, yes." Li Wenxi nodded hurriedly. She didn't expect to have such good news suddenly. "Thank you, Chen Zhiyan, please trouble you and your relatives." As she said that, she took out the ID and money from her schoolbag and handed them to Chen Zhiyan.
That night, Chen Zhiyan brought the ticket to Li Wenxi. It was the train tomorrow afternoon, and it would take two days and two nights to Ningcheng. Chen Zhiyan's Nanshi would arrive after Ningcheng, four hours longer.
Li Wenxi was very happy. She took the ticket and looked at it, and was surprised: "Soft sleeper?"
"It's very difficult to buy tickets now. You can only buy soft sleeper from the inside." Chen Zhiyan said.
Li Wenxi knew that the ticket was difficult to buy, and it was good to have a ticket. She looked at the money in her hand and said: "Why did you return the money to me intact?"
"My relatives confiscated my money." Chen Zhiyan smiled.
Li Wenxi said: "Then I still have to give you the money. You are spending the favors of your family." Then he took out the money from his pocket and handed it to Chen Zhiyan.
Seeing Li Wenxi's firm attitude, Chen Zhiyan smiled and accepted it, "Have a good rest today. I'll wait for you here at 1 pm tomorrow."
The next morning, Li Wenxi went out to queue up and bought four roast ducks, Daoxiangcun snacks, steamed buns, eggs, and a bunch of miscellaneous things on the way. He went back to the dormitory to pack his luggage. After lunch, he carried a large suitcase and a schoolbag downstairs.
Chen Zhiyan, who had been waiting here early, saw him and immediately came over to help Li Wenxi carry the suitcase.
There was a black car waiting at the school gate.
Li Wenxi saw Chen Zhiyan moving the luggage to the car and asked quietly, "Where did you get this car?"
Chen Zhiyan paused and said, "I rented it."
"How much is the rental fee? Let's split it in half."
Chen Zhiyan: "...Actually, our relatives asked someone to send us."
Li Wenxi felt like he had been taking advantage of Chen Zhiyan. But now that the car was here, he couldn't help but help move the things in silence.
When we got off the train at the train station, the train station was packed with people. Chen Zhiyan was shocked by the scene and asked, "Why are there so many people?"
"You've never been on a train before?"
"I've never been on a train with so many people."
The two of them pulled their suitcases and backpacks through the crowd and squeezed into the line for ticket checking and boarding. As soon as the ticket gate opened, the crowd began to surge, and Li Wenxi and Chen Zhiyan were almost separated. After walking
to the soft sleeper car with difficulty, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Passing by the crowded sleeping car just now, and then looking at this spacious and empty soft sleeper car, Li Wenxi was extremely grateful to Chen Zhiyan at this moment.
It's better to take a soft sleeper, otherwise how can I endure two days and two nights of sitting in a soft sleeper.
The soft sleeper rooms are for four people, with two upper and two lower berths.
Li Wenxi and Chen Zhiyan occupied the two lower berths in a room.
The other two people in the room were a middle-aged couple, who were obviously intellectuals, modest and polite. They
breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Wenxi and Chen Zhiyan come in.
These two young people who looked like students made people feel at ease.
After all, they were going to stay in the same room for several days and nights, and they didn't want to meet people who were difficult to get along with or who were unreasonable, for fear that they would not be able to sleep well at night.
Li Wenxi and Chen Zhiyan nodded to each other and put away their boxes and schoolbags.
Li Wenxi took her enamel pot and said to Chen Zhiyan, "Give me your thermos, I'll go get some hot water."
Chen Zhiyan said hurriedly, "I'll go, you sit here and take a rest." Then he took his thermos and Li Wenxi's enamel pot and left.
Li Wenxi continued to pack up, taking out the books, pens, and a bag of food she was going to use.
After a few minutes, Chen Zhiyan still hadn't come back. Li Wenxi was worried that something had happened to him. She stood at the door of the private room and looked out, and saw Chen Zhiyan coming over with the enamel pot and thermos.
"Do I have to queue up to get water?" Li Wenxi asked curiously.
"No, I don't know where to get hot water, and I searched for a long time." Chen Zhiyan smiled.
Li Wenxi took the enamel pot, thanked him, and thought to herself that she should go next time.
She felt that Chen Zhiyan had been out of place since he entered the train station.
After packing up, Li Wenxi and Chen Zhiyan started reading and doing exercises. Just like in the classroom, they finished a problem together and discussed their own solutions, which made them forget that they were on a train. It was not
until a train attendant pushed a dining cart to sell dinner that the two of them came to their senses and realized that it was time for dinner.
Chen Zhiyan stood up and said to the train attendant, "Buy two meals."
Li Wenxi hurriedly said, "Why don't you buy tonight? I brought a lot of food. It would be a waste if you don't eat it."
Chen Zhiyan was stunned, but he listened to Li Wenxi and didn't buy anything, and walked back.
Li Wenxi took out a bag of roast duck and a bag of steamed buns and eggs. "I bought the roast duck this morning. It's very fresh." She wanted to thank Chen Zhiyan for helping her buy the train ticket, so she bought a roast duck to eat on the road.
