Chapter 23 Heading to Linchuan
In the early morning of late August, Jiang Qin packed his luggage and came to the train station.
In the hot weather, the train station was bustling with people, so crowded that you could lose a shoe if you put your foot in.
In fact, this phenomenon is normal, after all, it is the beginning of the school year.
Jiang Qin stood in front of the entrance, unscrewed the bottle of mineral water in his hand and took a sip, thinking that it was fortunate that Ms. Yuan Youqin and Mr. Jiang Zhenghong did not come to see him off, otherwise he would have been squeezed and lost, and he would have to spend time looking for the old couple then.
Ten minutes later, the fat black boy Guo Zihang also came.
He applied to Linchuan University of Science and Technology, which was a decent second-tier university. It was not far from Linchuan University, but not too close either, so the two decided to travel together.
After passing security and ticket inspection, the two got on the train, found their seats and sat down.
It was Guo Zihang's first time to travel far away, and he had never had the chance to take a train before, so he became immediately excited as soon as he got on the train. He looked around and couldn't stop.
Fortunately, the train started soon, and as the scenery outside the window kept changing, Guo Zihang became much calmer.
"Brother Jiang, what do you think college life will be like?"
"College student? It's a good life."
"????"
Jiang Qin took off his coat and put it under his back, then leaned back in his chair and looked out the window.
Jeju's economic strength is still good, but the investment in urban construction is too low, resulting in every block being dilapidated, and it is not as good as the county-level cities under its jurisdiction.
So when the car leaves the station, the first thing that comes into view is the large rural town, followed by a golden wheat field and the Je River that surrounds the entire Jeju.
It’s just strange that Jiang Qin feels particularly unfamiliar with the scenery outside the window.
Didn't I take a train in my previous life? Impossible, did I walk here on my legs? But he soon remembered that at that time, he was only holding his phone and waiting for Chu Siqi's message, and had no time to look out the window.
So love is something that even dogs don’t even talk about, because you have no idea how many beautiful things you have missed because of someone.
Jiang Qin lifted up his clothes to block the sunlight from the window, intending to sleep all the way through.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the train arrived at the station. A large number of travelers poured down the platform and then walked out of the station in a large crowd.
Jiang Qin and Guo Zihang walked side by side, pulling their suitcases to the exit hall. From this position, they could see the Xinmao Building opposite. On the top hung a huge sign that read "Jinqiangui Business KTV".
"Brother Jiang, where are we going now?"
Jiang Qin put his hand on the handle of the suitcase: "Of course we will go our separate ways and return to school."
Guo Zihang hesitated for a while and then said, "How about you come with me to a social gathering?"
"Why is there still a social gathering? What's going on?"
"I joined a freshman group at our school these days. Everyone said they wanted to hold a social gathering so we could get to know each other in advance. I signed up, but I'm a little hesitant to go."
Jiang Qin's mouth twitched: "People like you are timid in real life but strike hard online."
Guo Zihang coughed to hide his embarrassment: "You have nothing to do when you go back anyway, so give me some courage!"
"That's right. We have nothing to do anyway. Let's go. But you have to pay for the taxi."
"I'll go out if I want to!"
So the two of them took a taxi at the train station and headed towards Linchuan University of Science and Technology.
This Dogecoin was extremely nervous along the way, taking deep breaths continuously, and it felt like his fingers were about to tear through his jeans.
Jiang Qin found it funny, thinking to himself, this isn't some online love affair you're having, you feel ugly and will be embarrassed in public, it's just a social gathering, why are you so nervous?
But Guo Zihang was different. He was the type of person who wouldn't say a word even if someone stepped on his foot. When he was in school, he had to think for several rounds before talking to the lady in the cafeteria.
Soon, the taxi arrived at the gate of Linchuan University of Science and Technology, and Guo Zihang took Jiang Qin to a milk tea shop diagonally opposite the school.
Their event was called a social gathering, but in fact it was just a small group meet-up. There were four girls and two boys in total, and they were probably all social phobics in the group.
The students born in 2008 did not study much about fashion, and could not be compared with the college students more than ten years later, so they seemed very simple.
Most of their T-shirts are pink or yellow, printed with intricate patterns, and most of them have a small hairpin on their heads.
As for the two boys next to him, to be honest, they are not as pleasing to Guo Zihang's eyes.
"My name is Liang Xiao."
"My name is Xu Qingqing."
“…”
"My name is... Guo Zihang."
"Jiang Qin."
After a round of introductions, a girl sitting on the outermost edge suddenly caught Jiang Qin's attention.
The girl introduced herself as Hong Yan, from Hangzhou, and said she was a close friend of Xu Qingqing, but she didn't say which department or major she was in.
She is very tall with fair skin, and she is wearing a grey short-sleeved shirt and black denim shorts. Perhaps because she consumes a lot of nutrition, the grey short-sleeved shirt looks very tight and her curves are full.
Her appearance is obviously not in the same class or league as the three next to her. She is very graceful and beautiful even without makeup.
Jiang Qin himself knew that it was very shameless to grade girls with his eyes, but first impressions were like that, you would always be able to tell the good from the bad, especially when the difference was extremely obvious.
Of course, the boys liked to look at Hong Yan, while the girls kept their eyes on Jiang Qin.
"Student Jiang Qin, which department are you from?"
"I'm from the Computer Science Department, majoring in software engineering. My brother is also from the Computer Science Department."
Jiang Qin slapped Guo Zihang and motioned for him to speak. This is the social gathering you signed up for, why are you letting me be your mouthpiece the whole time?
As a result, this guy seemed to have just found his soul back, and all he could say with his mouth open was "yes, yes, yes."
Xu Qingqing's eyes lit up instantly: "I'm also studying software engineering. Which class are you assigned to?"
"Class 2, right?"
"Class 2 is Class 2, why not? Do you have a girlfriend?"
Jiang Qin reached out and grabbed Guo Zihang: "The girl is asking you, do you have a girlfriend?"
Guo Zihang's face flushed instantly: "For the time being... not yet."
"Jiang Qin, what about you?"
"Me? I love studying. I feel uncomfortable if I don't study for a day, so I don't plan to fall in love in college."
Xu Qingqing frowned in obvious dissatisfaction: "You love studying and you got admitted to Linchuan University of Science and Technology. Shouldn't you go to Linchuan University?"
Hong Yan next to her suddenly poked her: "Qingqing, don't be so sarcastic, maybe she just didn't perform well."
"It doesn't matter. Everyone says so. I'm the type who studies hard."
"See, I was right." Xu Qingqing raised her head proudly . Hong Yan frowned slightly: "That also shows that they have tried their best. At least they won't regret it."
Jiang Qin was a little surprised to hear this. It was rare to find a girl who could care about other people's emotions these days.
