"Why did you mention him so suddenly? Did he encounter any difficulties?" Cao Mengyuan looked slightly flustered and closed "Norwegian Wood" in her hand instantly.
"Look, I didn't say anything. I'm just so anxious for you. You're worried about him. Why can't you give him a call? The winter vacation is about to begin. It's been more than a month and we haven't seen each other. How many more days can I say?
A word?"
"..." Cao Mengyuan bit her red lips, leaned back on the bed, and fell into silence.
"Forget it, leave it alone, otherwise you will blame me for meddling in my own business later!"
Lin Xiaoxiao waved her hands impatiently and returned to her bed. She didn't want to talk anymore, but seeing Cao Mengyuan's flustered look, she felt distressed again, so she could only speak angrily, "Big Head called just now and said...
...Shen Dapeng will come back the day after tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Cao Mengyuan tensed up and wrinkled the book in her hand, but she just said "oh" softly.
"Shen Dapeng will take the train back tomorrow and arrive in the morning the day after tomorrow! Big Head and I are going to pick him up, will you go?"
"I...I can't go! I'll take the bus back to the capital tomorrow!"
"What? Are you going back to the capital tomorrow? You have to take an exam tomorrow afternoon..."
Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly realized when she was halfway through her words, "Mengyuan, aren't you? Are you specifically avoiding Shen Dapeng?"
"I'm not hiding from anyone. My parents are also going back together. There is a party at home..."
Before Cao Mengyuan could finish speaking, the door to the dormitory was suddenly pushed open. It was none other than Huang Yao, whom Lin Xiaoxiao had just wanted to teach a lesson.
As soon as Huang Yao entered the room, she found that the atmosphere was not right, but she could still hear people talking outside, but now it was suddenly silent, which also made her feel embarrassed.
"Ahem! It's okay, you guys are talking about your business, I can't hear you!" Huang Yao smiled awkwardly, tightly buckled the earphones on her chest to her ears, pointed at her ears with her fingers, and waved her hands to indicate that she was really listening.
not see.
"Mengyuan, you don't need to explain to me. If you are interested, just try to persuade yourself!" Lin Xiaoxiao gave Huang Yao a hard look, her expression of disapproval could not be concealed at all.
Cao Mengyuan didn't say anything, just smiled at Huang Yao, opened "Norwegian Wood" again, and continued to watch silently, but her eyes no longer had the original calmness, and the water-like calmness in her heart also appeared again.
Ripples that cannot be appeased for a long time!
"Shen Dapeng, should we... meet?"
In the end, I couldn't continue to watch. I tried my best to keep calm and whispered Fanglan, and slowly closed my eyes. My eyes were pitch black. In the darkness, Shen Dapeng's smiling face was looming!
After Shen Dapeng and Wang Xueying finished watching the movie, it was already dusk in the afternoon. After eating a tasteless Western meal, they both went back to school to pack their bags for home.
Wang Xueying had the same suitcase as when she came to the capital to report. Shen Dapeng was even lighter, with a backpack and a handbag containing some toiletries and two sets of thermal underwear bought by Du Yuefeng, and nothing else. It seemed as if she was not going home for winter vacation, but going there.
Where to go on a business trip or travel?
The last night the two of them spent in the capital was not full of ambiguity like every time they were alone together before. Wang Xueying obediently opened two rooms and went to sleep alone early, leaving only a confused and happy Shen Dapeng who took a long time to fall asleep.
The green-skinned special K train departed from Beijing Station, accompanied by rumbles. Outside the window, the platform was filled with relatives and friends seeing off. Some were smiling, some were lost, and some were expressionless as if they were just working.
Before the train disappeared from sight, it had already left quickly.
Shen Dapeng and Wang Xueying moved slowly among the crowded people in the carriage, looking for their own seats. Unfortunately, after more than ten minutes, they had only walked half of the carriage. The packed crowd had long lost the ability to move, and everyone was basically leaning against each other.
Feet on feet.
The luggage racks in the carriage were already full, and the narrow aisle between the hard seats was blocked by large and small packages. They were like imprecise traps, but no one dared to be careless if they wanted to pass through this road.
"Wang Xueying, you silly girl, the conductor even told you that the sleeper car is at the back. You have to rush in because the road is blocked and you can't move!"
"I didn't know there would be so many people. I've never taken a train during the Spring Festival travel period. I only knew there were a lot of people, but I didn't know there would be so many people. Oh, uncle, be careful. You stepped on my foot. Oh, my foot."
The arm is pinched..."
The two of them finally got out of a carriage. The connection between the two carriages was once again crowded with people. In the already crowded space, there were actually several people smoking together, not caring about the air in the almost confined space.
quality.
Wang Xueying almost closed her mouth and nose and held her breath. When she arrived at the sleeper car after all the hard work, she was already sweating profusely. Her fair face was flushed, and the fragrant sweat was blurred and fell from her ears and temples.
Shen Dapeng was still normal, but he was still breathing heavily. When he took the ticket and found the bed, he found that in the two lower bunks that originally belonged to him and Wang Xueying, two old people were sitting, both with white hair, looking at each other quietly.
Book.
"Uncle, aunt, this bed belongs to both of us..."
Just as Wang Xueying was about to speak, Shen Dapeng stretched out his hand to interrupt, looked up at the two neat shops, and then slowly said, "Uncle, aunt, are you from the upper bunk?"
"Ah, yes, you guys are on the lower bunk? Sorry, let's clean it up..." The old man smiled kindly, and the white teeth in his mouth were unusually neat. They were obviously dentures.
"No, my friend and I want to discuss something with you. The lower bunk is a bit messy and we don't like it very much. Can I change seats with you and my aunt?"
"Thank you, young man! We, an old couple, have weak legs and feet and can't climb up!" The old lady nodded cheerfully, her kind eyes wandering back and forth on Shen Dapeng and Wang Xueying, her eyes full of tenderness and admiration.
"You're welcome!"
Shen Dapeng put the package on the upper bunk, then turned around to help Wang Xueying stuff the suitcase under the bed on the lower bunk. In the end, Wang Xueying muttered a reproach, "You are the one who made me do it! You made me climb up and down."
"Don't want to climb up to the bunk? Then you can sit down below, or you can go find the uncle and aunt, see who of them can climb to the upper bunk, and then you can change back!"
"You...you bully others! Be careful I retaliate against you!"
"Haha, you scared me to death!" Shen Dapeng felt funny and made a face pretending to be scared. He carefully helped Wang Xueying climb to the upper bunk, but his eyes stayed on the book in the old man's hand.
""The Biography of Li Shutong"?"
"Oh? Young man, do you also like Master Hongyi?"
"I read an article in which Master Hongyi was mentioned. "Farewell" is the master's inscription, outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road; the evening breeze blows the willow flute, and a pot of turbid wine is used to enjoy the rest of the joy. I like it very much!"
