Twilight had passed, the train was running. Yan Zheke could not bear the tired feeling, and fell asleep on her boyfriend's shoulder.
Lou Cheng didn't move his right shoulder. His left hand gently stuck out to catch the backpack next to them. Then he opened the zipper, dragged out a coat, and covered to Yan Zheke.
For men, there is a cold called your girlfriend might feel cold.
And high-speed bullet trains are always hot in winter and cold in summer!
Lou Cheng had thought of his girlfriend's travel habits. He did not want her to bear for several hours of long distance and proposed to fly home. But Yan Zheke refused and gave him a time account.
From the new campus of Song University to the airport, it takes nearly 50 minutes, almost the same as the train station. After arriving at the airport, you have to take boarding card, check baggage, go through the security and do a series of things. That will cost an hour. Even if the aircraft can take off on time, it still costs at least two hours. And the destination is the capital Gaofen, which means you have to take the train to reach Xiushan. Adding all together, it's at least five hours. And the high-speed rail from Songcheng directly to Xiushan, starting from the new campus, costs only six hours. And you do not need to be so removed. So it is obvious how to choose.
When he returned to school before, Lou Cheng chose a bullet train which ran at night to keep the taste of the food. That naturally was not as fast as high-speed rail.
The scene outside constantly swept to the rear, Lou Cheng was a little bit excited yet a little depressed.
The excitement was because of homesick. He missed his father and mother and everything of Xiushan. Melancholy was because that when back to Xiushan, he could no longer stick to Keke every day. She went to the south during the winter, which meant she did not see the relatives and friends for almost a year, so there must be all kinds of parties. More importantly, she must always accompany their parents, not as free as at school.
Fortunately, they had agreed to exercise together every morning!
Lou Cheng's thoughts flew, the high-speed rail began to slow down. The radio came up with the information of arriving at the station.
Next station, Xiushan!
The long eyelashes of Yan Zheke trembled two times. Her eyes slowly opened, with a face of bewilderment and ignorant of just woke up.
"Where are we now?"
"Soon we will arrive." Lou Cheng put his left hand into the trousers pocket and took out a pack of paper towels.
Yan Zheke had just woken up, "huh", she said, blushed, and let her boyfriend wipe her mouth.
Sleep drooled again!
"Your T-shirt... " Her eyes turned and saw the wet spot on Lou Cheng's clothes. She could not help but smile, feeling a little embarrassed, but somehow a little inexplicable pride.
Lou Cheng was about to poke fun at her, but the girl's cell phone played a cheerful ringtone.
"Empress dowager... " Yan Zheke shrank the neck to speak out two words after seeing the caller ID. Then she chose to turn on.
"Hey, mother... I'll arrive in a few minutes ... You are waiting outside?... I know you love me most." Her face stretched, with a smile, "Well, the car is about to stop. I'll take the suitcase first. Bye."
"Poor me. No one pick me." Lou Cheng made a self-deprecation after quietly hearing.
They had no car, so there was no difference to pick him up or not. He'd better take a bus.
"Right, poor Cheng. Big sister will pick you up." Yan Zheke answered with a smile, easily helping him sort out the collar.
Lou Cheng stood up with a smile. One hand one bag, he took down the girl's tractor box and the big backpack easily and steadily. The other passengers were all impressed.
This boy was not tall nor robust, but he was really powerful!
Carrying two bags, dragging the suitcase, holding Yan Zheke, Lou
Cheng went through the door. He got off the platform, through the gate, and arrived at the hall.
Yan Zheke stopped the footsteps, with melancholy, she said, "Hand the luggage to me."
Having helped her carry the back luggage, Lou Cheng waved. Enduring dismay, he slightly smiled,
"See you."
"See you tomorrow." Yan Zheke sipped and smiled.
Although they had made an appointment to exercise every morning, Lou Cheng felt the Empress Dowager would give them a hard time.
She dragged the suitcase a few steps away, and stopped, looked back at Lou Cheng. After being hesitated a few seconds, she waved her hand, turned back and walked toward the outside of the hall.
Lou Cheng sighed, standing there, intended to wait for a while and then go out, so that he could avoid the embarrassment of meeting the Empress Dowager.
More than a minute later, his cell phone rang.
Yan Zheke said with a "red face smile", "I met the Empress Dowager. You should also go home soon."
"Relax, the bus doesn't stop until nine o'clock." Lou Cheng replied while carrying luggage out of the station.
Yan Zheke sent a "well-behaved sit" emoji, "In fact, I wanted to give you a farewell kiss... "
"To the shy Little Ke, was this just about thinking?" Lou Cheng replied with a grinning face.
"Hey, you understand me very well." Yan Zheke answered with "humming" emoji.
Having chatted a few words, the girl slowed down. Apparently, she was talking to her parents. Lou Cheng put the phone into the pocket. He speeded up to catch up with the last bus.
He stood straight to the back door, holding Yin-Yang Stance, and took out the phone.
It's almost eight o'clock. He didn't ask his mother to leave food for him, so he had to get something to eat by himself!
He had so many ways to eat his fill now that he was back in Xiushan.
Lou Cheng transferred out Qin Rui's phone number from the address book and called directly to see whether the old classmate was free.
Firstly, he would thank him for helping his cousin's boyfriend join the ancient mountain martial arts club. Secondly, he would ask for a part-time job in the summer.
"Hey, Cheng, you are back?" From the other end of the phone, Qin Rui was happy to ask.
Lou Cheng smiled, "Yes, just arrived in Xiushan, no food at home, I intended to eat outside. Are you free? Come together?"
"Well, where to see? There is a new Crayfish hall at Peace Bridge. It's very good. You can try." Qin Rui did not hesitate to agree, although he had just had dinner at half past six.
After Dai Linfeng and other brothers witnessed Lou Cheng beat that Professional Nine Pin, his position at the martial arts club unknowingly rose. He had never enjoyed such respect.
He deeply felt what was the fickleness of the world the operation of his connections. No doubt, Lou Cheng was the most worthy of good relations.
Lou Cheng laughed and said, "The next time we can go there. We return home only half a year, so we always want to eat something familiar, like Old Liu Barbecue. Let's meet there."
"OK." Qinyui paused and said," Your cousin is at the martial arts club. Shall we invite her and Xiao Ding to come together?"
Ding Yanbo had joined the ancient mountain martial arts club for almost a month, Qin Rui naturally found out that he was not a family member of Lou Cheng, but the boyfriend of a family member of Lou Cheng.
"Feifei? Is she in Xiushan?" Lou Cheng surprisedly asked.
When did Qi Yunfei come to Xiushan from Ningshui?
Did aunt say nothing about it?
Qi Yunfei gave a normal level in the test in June. She failed to be admitted to Xiushan NO.1 and Ningshui NO.2, but fortunately, the score was very close. Lou Cheng's aunt Qi Yan cruelly spent money to send her into Xiushan NO.1.
"Yes, she said these days she was living in your home." Qin Rui smiled to answer.
She lives in my house... Then I can only sleep on the sofa! Lou Cheng did not expect that he would be the "leader of the living room" the first day he came back. He felt both angry and funny, "That's fine, you can tell them to come over. I will have a look at that dude!"
Also, he would say a few words, so that Feifei would not abandon the study.
When Lou Cheng arrived at the Old Liu Barbecue with luggage, Qi Yunfei and her boyfriend had been waiting there. And Qin Rui will arrive a few minutes later, because he came from his home.
Qi Yunfei dressed as a popular little girl nowadays. She lively waved her hand.
"Brother Cheng! Brother Cheng! Here, here!"
Lou Cheng smiled and walked towards them. He looked over the young man who was called Ding Yanbo. He was more than 1.8 meters tall, which made a cute contrast with little Qi Yunfei. His look was not superior, only positive, no hostility. His eyebrows were filled with this age-specific vigorous vitality.
"Grown-up girl, quietly went to Xiushan!" Lou Cheng came into the front of them and put aside his backpack.
Qi Yunfei proudly laughed. "What quietly? I told my mother that I would go to your house to play for a week!"
As for her sister Chen Xiaoxiao, she was still struggling in class.
Then Qi Yunfei pulled Ding Yanbo, urging, "Called him Brother Lou Cheng!"
Ding Yanbo had no way. He embarrassedly shouted, "Brother Lou Cheng."
"Sit down." Lou Cheng pointed to the chair, casually asked, "You have joined the martial arts club for a month, right? How do you feel?"
He wanted to laugh on hearing these words. If Yan Zheke was here, he would have been happy as flowers. When did Cheng become so old-fashioned?
Sure enough, it is very different to come in with the identity of the brother!
Ding Yanbo stiffly replied. "So-so, I am tired, but I also feel that I have learned a lot of things. Brother Rui is serious, but he is also very kind to us."
"You did not say so before!" Qi Yunfei interrupted with laughter, "You said Brother Rui was always wearing a cold face and always beat you. That was not polite. How long since you change the position?"
Ding Yanbo grabbed his chin, and said, "I have understood that Brother Rui did that for our own good."
"Being strict is good." Lou Cheng agreed certainly.
Qi Yunfei shrank her lips, "Brother Lou Cheng, you do not know how much he has changed this time. Brother Rui this, Brother Rui that. He almost becomes Brother Rui's copycat!"
"That was to learn martial arts better!" Ding Yanbo explained, "You do not know how powerful Brother Rui is. He can get ranked in the whole generation of Xiushan. Do you know the Greenskin from Ningshui County? What a powerful person! Brother Rui beat him within a kick and a slap!"
"Green skin? The Greenskin that came to our school to fight?" Qi Yunfei's eyes widely opened, flashing different colors.
"Yes, that is him! In front of Brother Rui, he was obedient like a dog." Ding Yanbo excitedly answered with a face of worship. He said, "Right, Brother Rui had just finished Ranking Event and got the amateur of Amateur First Pin!"
Qin Rui had passed the amateur ranking match in June? Lou Cheng pleasedly nodded his head.
At this time, he noticed the arrival of Qin Rui in advance. He waved and loudly shouted,
"Qin Rui, here!"
Ding Yanbo and Qi Yunfei saw Qin Rui walking towards them. He was more than 1.9 meters tall, like half of an iron tower.
They hurriedly stood up, cautiously and fearfully said,
"Brother Rui... "
Qin Rui smiled. He was to speak. Suddenly he found the Qi of Lou Cheng was near to the extreme, naturally formed a sharp strong feeling. He sat there quietly, but as if he was even taller than Rui.
Has he come to the extreme? He was lost for a while. With half bitter and half surprise, he laughed,
"Cheng, I was just about to call you Brother Lou."
