After they left the house, they remembered that they hadn't had breakfast yet. They found a steamed stuffed bun shop near Nanda University. Xu Bing drank several bowls of soy milk before taking a taxi to the train station together.
Now is the peak period of Spring Festival travel, and the train station is overcrowded. Fortunately, it is a short distance from Tianhai to Yanjing, and there is a train every fifteen minutes. The two of them bought their tickets and hurriedly boarded the train.
The carriage was also overcrowded, and every passenger had a smile on his face. After all, at the end of the year, it was really a joyful thing to be able to go home and reunite with relatives.
Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue have a vague concept of home. They share the same problem and are both orphans. At this time, what they think about most is whether they can find a secret room in the old house, and whether there is someone they want in the secret room.
They also look forward to finding things.
Tang Yanxue was a little nervous, holding her hands over her heart - her palms pressed tightly on the necklace around her neck, for fear that the key would suddenly be stolen.
Seeing Tang Yanxue being so careful, Xu Bing laughed dumbly. He didn't think anyone could snatch the necklace away from under his nose. Besides, besides them, who would know the secret in the necklace?
This time I was not as lucky as last time. Sitting opposite Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue was an elderly couple. They seemed to work in Tianhai. They were dressed very ordinary, but they slept soundly together holding each other. This made
Xu Bing was a little envious.
When he was a child, his wife always came to keep him company. He didn't know if there would be such a woman who would support him until he grew old like the couple across from him.
After not sleeping all night, although Tang Yanxue's eyes were a little swollen, she was still not sleepy. Xu Bing wanted to sleep, but he only slept for half an hour before being woken up by peeing. After drinking two bowls of soy milk in the morning, he finally let it go.
He had to urinate urgently.
Xu Bing went to the toilet, but he didn't expect that there were several people lined up outside the toilet, which made him a little depressed.
The most painful thing in the world, well, for Xu Bing, is having an urgent need to urinate but not having access to the toilet.
He felt very uncomfortable, but he could only endure it.
Fortunately, after waiting for about ten minutes, Xu Bing finally entered the toilet. When he came out, he breathed a long sigh of relief and felt refreshed.
"Xu Bing!"
Someone was calling Xu Bing's name.
When Xu Bing turned around, he was immediately stunned.
It's really fate that I can meet my roommate here.
Yes, the person standing in front of him with a surprised look on his face was none other than his roommate from NTU, Liu Fei.
Liu Fei was wearing a down jacket with good fabric and looked very energetic. However, he was too short and didn't look very good, so he looked a bit like a prince wearing a dragon robe.
Of course, Xu Bing only thought this in his heart and would not say it out loud.
"Liu Fei, why are you going to Yanjing too?" Xu Bing hugged Liu Fei in surprise, causing several passengers on the side to frown slightly.
Liu Fei was a little embarrassed and took Xu Bing to the smoking area on the side. There were no people here. Although it was Spring Festival travel, overcrowding was not allowed at the station, and it was a short distance.
"Why are you going to Yanjing?" Liu Fei seemed to be a little surprised: "I was just looking for you."
Xu Bing smiled and said, "Looking for me?"
"Yeah, you still remember the money you invested in me last time, right? I made a lot of money recently." Liu Fei suddenly lowered his voice, came up to Xu Bing, and whispered: "Do you know how much I made?
?Five million!”
Poof, Xu Bing almost screamed.
Is it wrong that you can earn five million so easily? If this makes those urban white-collar workers who work day and night but can’t earn more than 100,000 a year, they will burst into tears if they find out about it?
"Did I hear you right, five million?" Xu Bing looked shocked: "How could you make so much money? Didn't you say that the stock market is a tomb? How could you make so much money?"
Liu Fei was a little proud and said with a smile: "You don't need to know how to make money. You don't understand even if I tell you. It's true that the stock market is a graveyard, but I only sell graveyards. Others buy graveyards. This is different."
Yes, if I don’t make money, who will?”
Xu Bing laughed, Liu Fei was much more confident now than before.
"According to our original agreement, you are now worth two million. Do you want to continue investing?" Liu Fei asked with a smile.
Xu Bing nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course, but I remember that I lent you money last time, not to ask you to help me trade stocks. Everything you earn should be considered yours, right?"
"Am I that selfish?" Liu Fei suddenly felt a little moved, and seemed a little excited. He stared at Xu Bing and said, "You can think highly of me and treat me as a brother. This is more important than anything else."
Xu Bing understood immediately, smiled coquettishly, and said: "Okay, you can do whatever you want. I have no objection. Anyway, I don't need much money now, so I'll just leave it with you. Don't worry, we are
Brother, you earned all this money, I’m just a bargain hunter, if you lose money one day, don’t feel guilty, just pretend you never made any money, haha.”
"That's pretty much it. By the way, why are you going to Yanjing? Aren't you celebrating the New Year?" Liu Fei changed the subject.
Xu Bing smiled and said: "Oh, I will accompany Teacher Tang to visit the old house in Yanjing."
"Teacher Tang?" Liu Fei opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "You are really awesome, you won it?"
Xu Bing chuckled.
Liu Fei understood. He extended his thumb towards Xu Bing and said: "No wonder Zhang Lan is so jealous of you. You are indeed too much. You even flirt with the teacher. However, you are also the pride of our Nanyang University students. If you want to
I know that Teacher Tang has many fans in the school, including many teachers, who have thoughts about her. You'd better not be too showy, otherwise, those fans can drown you with their saliva!"
When it came to Zhang Lan, Xu Bing originally wanted to tell Liu Fei about his trip to the Northeast, but then he thought about it. Zhang Lan was now walking farther and farther away from his brothers, so he didn't mention Zhang Lan.
She didn't want to continue discussing Tang Yanxue's issue, so she took the initiative to ask: "Then why are you going to Yanjing?"
Liu Fei suddenly became a little shy, and his face was actually a little red. This made Xu Bing a little curious, and smiled: "Hey, what other secrets are there?"
"No." Liu Fei said quickly: "I'm going to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year."
"Are you going to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year?" Xu Bing narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile: "As far as I know, you don't seem to be from Yanjing, but Li Amei, you seem to be from Yanjing, right?"
Liu Fei's face turned redder and he said shyly: "I just went to her house to celebrate the New Year."
Xu Bing laughed loudly: "I can't tell, you are so cool. It's only been so long now that you and Li Amei are so close. Remember to send me wedding invitations in the future. I have to give you a big red envelope."
"Don't be ridiculous." Liu Fei said with some worry: "I haven't even finished my horoscope yet. This time, her family said they wanted to see me. I didn't want to go, but she insisted on letting me go. I'm afraid, I
I'm afraid, I'm afraid that her family may not like me, and they might be kicked out."
Xu Bing frowned and said, "Can you have some confidence in yourself?"
"But I'm short and ugly." Liu Fei sighed with a blush.
Xu Bing comforted him: "You're good-looking but nothing, can you be used as food? Besides, Li A-mei likes you, that's the most important thing. What age is this? I don't believe her parents can do anything to fight against each other.
, and besides, you are a genius in the stock market."
Liu Fei still had no confidence in himself and smiled bitterly.
Xu Bing comforted him a few more words. Tang Yanxue saw that he hadn't responded for a long time and called. Xu Bing said goodbye to Liu Fei. Liu Fei said to say hello to Teacher Tang, but Xu Bing politely declined.
After all, he was playing a teacher-student relationship, and it was inappropriate to always bring Tang Yanxue in front of his classmates and let her face his students.
"Why have you been gone for so long?" Tang Yanxue asked suspiciously.
Xu Bing smiled and said, "Oh, I met a friend, so I chatted for a few words."
"Boyfriend or girlfriend?" Tang Yanxue didn't seem to care, but she was actually quite nervous.
"Girlfriend." Xu Bing smiled.
Tang Yanxue's expression changed.
Xu Bing smiled even more happily: "The person who lied to you is just a classmate. You also know Liu Fei in our class."
"Is it the shorter and ugly one?" Tang Yanxue asked.
Xu Bing frowned: "He looks ugly?"
Tang Yanxue was stunned. Seeing that Xu Bing was unhappy, she immediately realized that there was something wrong with her speech, and immediately changed her words and said with a smile: "No, no, I'm just a little worse than you."
Xu Bing is still unhappy. He is a little worse than him. Doesn't that mean he is also ugly?
"He is a stock market genius." Xu Bing introduced.
"Does he have money to play stocks?" Thinking about how plainly Liu Fei usually dressed, Tang Yanxue was a little curious.
Xu Bing said: "If I said he is a millionaire now, would you believe it?"
"You're not joking, are you?" Tang Yanxue didn't believe it.
Xu Bing added: "Then if I say that he made me a millionaire, wouldn't you believe it even more?"
Tang Yanxue really didn't believe it this time, and curled her lips and said, "Just brag."
Xu Bing smiled and did not explain any more.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Bing and Tang Yanxue finally arrived in Yanjing. When they came out of the train station, the air was obviously drier than Tianhai. The wind was biting and the sun was shining brightly on the earth, but the cold was still oppressive.
"I don't like Yanjing because the climate is too dry and too cold." Tang Yanxue looked at the sky and her face became a little melancholy.
"I don't like Yanjing either." Xu Bing also said.
Xu Bing does not like Yanjing, but the reason why he does this is not because of the climate in Yanjing, but because there are people in Yanjing that he does not want to see.
Tang Yanxue's old house is located in the west of the city, where there is a courtyard. These buildings originated from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although they have been repaired many times, they are still full of ancient style.
In fact, it is not easy to have a courtyard house in this place. The people who can live in these courtyard houses now are definitely not ordinary people, because in the past 30 to 40 years of the last century, this place was called Jiangjun Hutong, and all the people living in it were
General of China.
Tang Yanxue's ancestors were once famous generals in China, and her father was also considered a hero. The real red second generation, and because he was a high-tech talent in the country, the courtyard they lived in has never been taken back by the country.
, but in normal times, Tang Yanxue and her family rarely come to live in the old house.
The two took a taxi to the west of the city, near the door of Tang Yanxue's home. Tang Yanxue asked the driver to stop.
After getting off the car, Tang Yanxue stood at the entrance of the street, pointed to a row of courtyard houses not far away, and said to Xu Bing: "My old house is right there."
When she said this, Tang Yanxue's face became even more ugly, a little sad, and her eyes became a little blurred.
