With soothing music playing in his headphones, Ye Zhou watched the changing scenery outside the car window.
Leaving home again, I felt a greater sense of peace.
After all, it was only a two-and-a-half-hour journey. Ye Zhou bought a hard seat, which happened to be a window seat. The carriage was packed with people, and some people had bought seats without seats and had to stand.
The carriage was bustling with people. Next to Ye Zhou sat a woman holding a baby who was only a few months old and still in swaddling clothes.
The carriage was mostly filled with students, as it was the time when many new students were starting their school year.
He inadvertently saw a pretty girl standing by the aisle, looking somewhat embarrassed, as if she was holding back something.
Ye Zhou shifted forward slightly and saw a middle-aged man with a large belly sitting next to the girl.
The man closed his eyes, crossed his arms, and swayed his head as he leaned on the girl's shoulder.
The girl looked embarrassed and didn't know how to resist. She just moved her shoulders slightly and held the black backpack in front of her tightly with both hands.
...
"Excuse me, I'm sitting over there by the window. Would you mind switching seats with me?" Ye Zhou asked politely.
The girl looked up as if she had seen a savior, and nodded repeatedly in gratitude.
"Thank you, sir."
The girl stood up; she looked to be about 175 cm tall. She was wearing a Japanese-style high school uniform and a JK skirt, and she smiled sweetly at Ye Zhou. She seemed like a gentle girl.
Ye Zhou sat down in the girl's seat. As soon as he sat down, the Mediterranean man immediately woke up and sat up straight.
Ye Zhou: "..."
I should have come with An Youhe. I wonder if she would have encountered this situation. Girls should take good care of themselves when they are out and about.
"Next stop, Beijing. Passengers who are getting off, please prepare to disembark."
Ye Zhou was listening to music and resting with his eyes closed when he was gently patted on the shoulder.
It's still that girl with the sweet voice.
"Hey sir, could you help me take that pink suitcase down from the overhead rack? I can't lift it."
It's normal for girls to be weak, so Ye Zhou didn't say anything and took the suitcase down for the girl.
The girl smiled faintly, "Thank you, sir. Where are you getting off?"
"Get off at this stop."
"What a coincidence, me too!" the girl said excitedly.
Ye Zhou simply smiled and nodded.
"Is this young man also a freshman at Tsinghua or Peking University?"
"right."
"Can we exchange WeChat contacts?" The girl winked playfully and waved her phone in her hand.
"I don't think it's necessary," Ye Zhou politely declined.
After all, he already has a girlfriend, so it's best to refuse someone whose intentions seem so obvious.
"Ah~ that's such a pity. The young man is so handsome."
The train stopped, and many people were already lining up to get off.
The girl stood in front of Ye Zhou, frequently turning back to look.
"Hey handsome, let's go to school together? I'm a girl, and it's my first time in a big city. I'm afraid I'll get lost!"
Ye Zhou simply said, "I'll take the bus."
"That's alright, I'll take the bus too!"
A large number of students also chose to take the bus.
The girl had her hands behind her back, walked briskly, and spoke with great enthusiasm.
The bus has arrived.
"Young man, the suitcase is too heavy, I don't have the strength."
Ye Zhou went up first, put two yuan into the coin box, and then helped the girl carry her suitcase up. The girl had a sweet smile on her face the whole time.
As expected, the girl sat down next to Ye Zhou.
"Hey bro, you have such a cold aura, are you trying to create a cool and aloof persona?"
"Hey sir, what's your name?"
"It's very impolite of you not to answer others, isn't it?"
Everyone on the bus turned their attention to the chattering girl.
The bus driver chimed in, "Hey handsome, aren't you going to say something? I'm giving you a chance to find a girlfriend, don't you want it?"
Ye Zhou said helplessly, "My name is Ye Zhou, and I'm not single."
The bus stopped at the next stop, waiting for passengers to board.
"Beep, senior citizen card."
"Beep, love card."
The girl persisted, trying to strike up a conversation with Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou stood up gracefully and offered his seat to an elderly man with gray hair.
...
"Wait for me, Ye Zhou! Don't always keep people at arm's length!"
Ye Zhou strode ahead with his long legs, while the girl chased after him desperately.
Outside the school gate, there was a row of blue tents with many volunteers wearing blue vests.
Ye Zhou quickly checked his information and signed in on the form.
The volunteer handed him a transparent bag containing the Tsinghua and Peking University school badges, a freshman handbook, and some small gifts.
"Thanks."
"Hey kid, are you interested in joining our student council? I can guarantee you'll be accepted!"
A female volunteer next to him saw Ye Zhou and her eyes lit up.
"I'll think about it some more." I'd rather die than join that bullshit student council.
Ye Zhou believed that even the student unions of top universities and those of third-tier universities would be no different; they would both be utterly worthless.
The girl he met at the train station continued to follow Ye Zhou relentlessly.
Unable to bear the harassment any longer, Ye Zhou turned to the girl and said, "Classmate, we've arrived at school. We don't live in the same apartment, so I can't help you deliver your things to the girls' dormitory."
The girl pouted, looking somewhat disappointed.
But Ye Zhou is completely immune to this.
Suddenly, I felt an unusual gaze.
Ye Zhou looked into the distance and saw a familiar figure standing a hundred meters ahead.
The girl in the pink dress, her long hair flowing in the wind, looked at herself calmly.
A strange emotion welled up in Ye Zhou's heart.
"Young man, at least let me treat you to a meal. You've helped me a lot," the girl in front of him said again.
Ye Zhou looked in the distance and said, "I have other things to do. You go in first."
The phone rang; it was Jiang Jiayan calling.
"Ye Zhou, if you want to find me, come to the address I sent you."
Then, the call was disconnected.
Ye Zhou watched as Jiang Jiayan walked away.
Sure enough, the phone message sent an address.
It's a high-end residential area, not far from Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
However, Jiang Jiayan's voice on the phone was almost completely flat, which was somewhat eerie.
He had some doubts about Jiang Jiayan's mental state.
Let's go back to the dorm first.
Ye Zhou pushed his luggage and walked into the gates of the top university.
Apartment 1, Unit 305.
Ye Zhou had already obtained the dormitory key.
The dormitory door was open.
Slowly push open the door.
The girl screamed when she saw a tall girl changing clothes.
"Sorry, I went into the wrong dorm." Ye Zhou hurriedly closed the door.
