There will be all kinds of people in public places, and there will be many unpleasant things that happen to them. Many people just tolerate it and get over it.
But Xu Chunliang is not a person who likes to be patient, and neither is Lu Yan beside him. Before Xu Chunliang could speak, she had already stood up and spoke: "Comrade, can you put your shoes on? This is a public place.
"The carriage is a confined space, can you be civilized and considerate of others?"
The young man behind grinned: "Sorry, I have a foot problem and cannot wear shoes for a long time. If you find it unbearable, you can apply to change seats."
Lu Yan nodded and sat back down again.
Xu Chunliang said she was easy to talk to, but was she intimidated by the burly figure of the guy behind her?
When Xu Chunliang was about to go forward, he smelled a faint fishy smell. He was very familiar with this smell, colorful centipedes. How could there be such a thing in the high-speed rail carriage? And it is winter, unless it is artificially raised.
From the corner of Xu Chunliang's eye, he caught a glimpse of a two-centimeter-long colorful centipede crawling out from behind Lu Yan and passing through the gap in the seat to the back. Although this poisonous insect was not big, it swam extremely fast.
Not long after, he heard the young man behind him let out an earth-shattering cry: "Ouch, an insect bites me." He slapped his foot hard, missing the target, and the colorful centipede stung his ankle.
After one bite, it got into his trouser leg and quickly traveled up his thigh.
The young man jumped up from his seat and reached out to catch the bug, but the colorful centipede moved too fast. He didn't care that there were so many passengers around him, so he unbuckled his belt and took off his pants.
There were originally many curious people watching. Seeing this guy's indecent behavior, some ladies turned their heads away in surprise, and some passengers who were not too concerned about the excitement took out their mobile phones and started shooting videos.
Xu Chunliang's focus was different from others. He didn't expect that Lu Yan was actually an expert at controlling insects. This woman's technique clearly came from "The Thousand Insects Book". Xu Chunliang was surprised but also felt a little bit relieved in his heart.
It seems that despite the encirclement and suppression by the famous decent sect, the Five Poison Sect is still alive and well, and some of the Five Poison Sect's classics have also been passed down. Lu Yan should be a descendant of the Five Poison Sect's disciples.
The young man took off his pants, but the colorful centipede got into his upper body again. He stood in the aisle of the carriage and danced, jumped and screamed. The place where the centipede crawled was itchy and painful.
Xu Chunliang saw that the colorful centipede had broken away from the young man's body, crawled quickly along the floor of the carriage and soon returned under their seats.
Everyone's attention was focused on the young man who was in a state of madness, and no one noticed this small colorful centipede.
Of course Xu Chunliang would not reveal the truth and would rejoice in the misfortune just like other bystanders.
Although the colorful centipede left the young man's body, the young man kept scratching because of the itching. Purple bruises immediately appeared where he scratched, which looked shocking.
The policemen were attracted by the commotion in the carriage, and everyone accused the young man of being immoral in public. The young man had already aroused public outrage by taking off his shoes just now, and now he was taking off his pants in public, and was recorded on video, which is irrefutable evidence.
The policemen didn't care what he explained. It was during the Spring Festival travel period, and they took the young man away forcibly with repeated orders to strictly enforce the situation.
Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, took out two more boxes of nuts, and handed one to Xu Chunliang.
Xu Chunliang did not refuse this time. He took it and ate it, and said deliberately: "He just said that a bug bit him."
Lu Yan said: "Crazy, it's so cold, why are there bugs? And this is on a high-speed rail. What he said is simply slandering our country's major infrastructure."
Xu Chunliang smiled slightly. The master who dewormed and poisoned you is right next to you. Do you really think you can hide it from me?
The carriage became quiet again. After arriving at the station, Xu Chunliang helped Lu Yan take down the suitcase, thinking to himself how many contraband items were contained in this suitcase.
Lu Yan said: "I have a car. Wherever you go, I can take you there."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "No need, someone will pick me up."
Lu Yan nodded, and the two parted ways on the platform.
Xu Chunliang did not arrange a pick-up, but went directly to the taxi stop. When he got there, he realized that he had underestimated the passenger flow during the Spring Festival. There was a long queue in the waiting area, and it would take at least twenty minutes to wait for a taxi.
Xu Chunliang decided to take the subway, and when he was walking to the other side, a Lexus es300 drove over and flashed its lights at him. When the window rolled down, it was Lu Yan.
"Get in the car!"
Xu Chunliang opened the back door and got in. He only brought a travel bag and there was no need to open the trunk.
Lu Yan said: "There is water in the back, you can get it yourself."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "It's a bit like an express driver's service level."
Lu Yan also smiled: "Where are you going?"
Xu Chunliang told her the location, and Lu Yan set the navigation location and drove out of the parking lot.
Xu Chunliang said: "Are you a local?"
Lu Yan shook her head: "Beipiao clan, my hometown is in western Hunan."
Xu Chunliang said: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, and everyone else is heading home. Why do you do the opposite?"
Lu Yan smiled and said: "Xiangxi is my hometown. I have already settled in the capital. I went back to my hometown early and spent the Spring Festival at my mother-in-law's house."
Xu Chunliang said: "Married."
Lu Yan nodded: "I've received the certificate, but the ceremony hasn't been held yet. I'm waiting to get married."
Being able to buy a house in the capital proves that Lu Yan's career is pretty good.
Xu Chunliang asked: "What do you do?"
Lu Yandao: "Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and Ethnic Minority Medicine, State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Xu Chunliang secretly thought, wouldn't it mean that she and her godmother Lin Sijin were in the same company? But judging from Lu Yan's age, she should be a grassroots worker. She knew Lin Sijin, but Lin Sijin might not know her, but Lu Yan was by no means an ordinary scientific researcher.
Lu Yan said: "What kind of work does Mr. Xu do?"
Xu Chunliang smiled: "Freelance job."
Lu Yan said: "That's doing business."
Xu Chunliang said: "I opened a small clinic in Dongzhou."
"Traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?"
"Traditional Chinese medicine is mainly run by family members, and I haven't started practicing yet."
Lu Yan smiled and said: "In this way, we are still half of the same industry."
Xu Chunliang said: "You are the superior leader, and I am an ordinary practitioner. According to regulations, I must be managed by you."
Lu Yan chuckled: "What you said is so interesting. I am just an ordinary worker and I am also led by the boss in the unit."
Traffic jams in the capital have long been the norm. It took Lu Yan an hour to get Xu Chunliang to his destination. When Xu Chunliang got off the bus, she took the initiative to add Xu Chunliang's contact information.
Xu Chunliang went directly to Ye Qingya's studio and rang the doorbell with the attitude of giving it a try.
Ye Qingya usually spends most of her time in the studio creating in addition to staying with her grandfather at home. She didn't expect Xu Chunliang to come so quickly. After opening the door, she said in surprise: "Why did you come here without saying hello?"
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Life needs accidents and surprises."
Ye Qingya happily invited him in and took Xu Chunliang's luggage bag: "Chunliang, grandpa wants you to stay at home."
Xu Chunliang said: "Okay, don't tell him that I'm coming. I plan to go there on New Year's Eve. I still have some things to deal with in the past two days."
Ye Qingya said: "Okay, then you can live here first."
Xu Chunliang said deliberately: "No one will come to disturb you, right?"
Ye Qingya knew what he meant, shook her head and said, "No." She asked Xu Chunliang to sit down first and go boil water and make tea.
Xu Chunliang asked: "How is grandpa's health?"
Ye Qingya said: "There is nothing wrong with my body, but my spirit is not as good as before." She sighed and said: "My dad's incident has hit him hard."
Xu Chunliang said: "I will try to persuade him."
Ye Qingya said: "My brother-in-law and his family will be back on New Year's Eve. We haven't been together like this for a long time."
Because Ye Changquan is engaged in diplomatic work, he rarely returns to the capital during holidays. This time, considering the recent loss of his brother, he overcame all kinds of hardships and made a special trip to accompany the old man to celebrate the New Year.
If not for Ye Qingya's warm invitation, Xu Chunliang had no plans to come to the capital to celebrate the festival. He discovered that when he lost his grandfather, he also lost a family.
In his previous life, both his parents died when he was young, and he had no concept of family. A good man has a home all over the world. But after coming to this era, his grandfather made him feel the family affection and warmth he had never experienced before, and he also began to understand why the world cares about family.
Such attachment.
Since Xu Chunliang decided to spend the New Year on New Year's Eve, Ye Qingya didn't force it. Anyway, he just stayed in the capital to celebrate the New Year.
Ye Qingya said: "You can stay in the studio for the next few days." Today is the twenty-seventh of the year, and there are still three days until New Year's Eve.
Xu Chunliang said: "Okay."
Ye Qingya said: "Brother Jianming didn't give you a hard time, right?"
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Why is he making it difficult for me? It has nothing to do with me that Wang Jiancheng and Mei Ruxue broke off their engagement."
Ye Qingya said: "I heard that someone has made rumors about you recently."
Xu Chunliang said: "The rumors surrounding me have never stopped. I have nothing to do with it. I am mainly worried about causing unnecessary trouble to the people around me."
Ye Qingya said: "Have you ever considered staying away from the right and wrong circle in Dongzhou?"
Xu Chunliang was stunned for a moment.
Ye Qingya thought he didn't understand what she meant, so she whispered: "If you are willing, you can be transferred to the capital to work."
Xu Chunliang said: "I don't want to cause trouble to grandpa."
Ye Qingya said: "You don't need to tell him, just say hello to mom." She was full of expectations, it would be great if Xu Chunliang could come to the capital.
Xu Chunliang shook his head: "I haven't thought about it so much for the time being. You also know my personality. I am used to being free and loose. There are too many rules in the capital, which is not suitable for me."
Ye Qingya said: "Forget it, you decide your own affairs. What do you want to eat at night?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Just leave me alone. Do whatever you are supposed to do these two days. It would be bad if grandpa knows whether I am coming or not. I have an appointment with Pu Jian tonight."
