Chapter 44 The Journey
"Woo-" The shrill whistle tore through the summer heat and slowly drove out of City C.
The green leather carriage vibrated and shook rhythmically under Lu Menglin's feet, and the scenery outside the window kept receding in his field of vision, like a movie film in rewind.
The train's terminus is Beijing, but fortunately, the journey from City C is not too long, only a little more than seven hours.
Lu Menglin sat by the window in the middle of the carriage, staring out the window silently, his eyes calm.
Sitting around him were five college students, four men and one woman, who were talking and laughing as soon as they got into the car, in stark contrast to the silent someone.
When everyone met, Lu Menglin naturally didn't have the idea of taking the initiative to make friends, and he wasn't very interested in the topics that these college students were talking about.
Sitting directly opposite Lu Menglin by the window was the only girl among these college students.
This girl is actually a good-looking type, with long hair and a shawl, bright eyes and bright teeth, and fair skin.
And this girl has a very cheerful personality, giggling all the way, no matter how lame the jokes told by her companions, she can laugh heartily.
I don't know if this girl's laughter is already low, or because her emotional intelligence is too high, and she already knows how to take care of other people's faces and moods.
Perhaps wanting to deliberately show her kindness and generosity, the long-haired young lady smiled at Lu Menglin and asked, "Hey, why don't you talk?
Lu Menglin smiled faintly in return, shook his head, and still did not speak.
He had some things on his mind during this trip, and he didn't want to understand others, nor did he want to be understood by others, let alone be asked, so he simply didn't say much.
When the boys saw that this kid didn't care much about the kindness of the beauties, they were a little unhappy.
"Hey, kid, why don't you speak?
This boy's family background should be good, at a young age, he wears trendy brands, and his eyesight is also quite poisonous, at a glance, he knows that Lu Menglin is from a small place, and he doesn't have a valuable piece of equipment on his body, so he dares to speak disrespectfully, and he is not afraid of offending the other party.
"I think he's going out alone, he's too timid, he's scared, isn't he? Little brother, don't be afraid, we're not bad people. Another tall boy next to him smiled, his tone also full of ridicule.
"Qian Guangming, Li Dan, that's enough! People haven't provoked you, so each of you should say a few words. The long-haired young lady stepped forward in time and did not allow her companions to provoke Lu Menglin again.
Lu Menglin was a human being in two lives, so he naturally didn't take the words of these young people to heart, so he didn't take it seriously at all, his face turned slightly, and he continued to look at the scenery outside the window.
"Haha, this kid can pretend to be good. Don't look at him not squeaking, I dare to say, just with his face, he can also provoke many little girls to like it. The handsome boy sitting next to the long-haired girl smiled.
"Chizi, you're also fooling around! People are obviously shy, right?" The long-haired young lady finally stopped calming down, and said angrily.
"Alas, it's not enough to be pretty! In today's society, you must be good at communication and be able to speak well. Little brother, what do you say?" the boy named Li Dan smiled at Lu Menglin.
Lu Menglin thought to himself, these so-called college students feel too good about themselves, and they really don't bother to take care of them.
When the long-haired young lady saw her companion teasing the little boy opposite, she suddenly became protective, and took out a bag of Liangyou brand plums from her bag and handed it to Lu Menglin.
"I see that you haven't eaten since you got in the car, let's eat a plum! My name is Guiqin, don't listen to their nonsense, it's all joking with you. You're a freshman too, aren't you?"
Seeing that Guiqin was so active with this strange kid, she looked very gentle and considerate, and the boys next to her were a little uncomfortable.
Lu Menglin shook his head and said in a very flat tone: "Thank you, no need!"
Gui Qin didn't expect that she would be directly rejected by this little boy, but the other party finally spoke, and she didn't know whether she was happy or frustrated for a while, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yo, so you can speak! We almost thought we were dumb!" Li Danle said with a smile.
"Don't pay attention to him, just a country stupid boy, he doesn't even know the least politeness, and it's hard to talk to him!" Qian Guangming said bluntly.
Only the boy named Chizi snorted coldly twice, and said with a smile: "Little friend, you have a good trick to catch and indulge, and you are quite scheming!"
Lu Menglin tilted his head out of the window, thinking that Lao Tzu was really a dog, obviously he didn't want to deal with these people, these people were still rushing up, I really thought that college students were the pride of the sky, and everyone wanted to play with you?
The more provocative the other party was, the more Lu Menglin didn't bother to speak, and directly ignored them.
"Just eat one! Give face!" The college girl named Guiqin saw that Lu Menglin was getting more and more cold, but instead aroused a trace of competitiveness, and pretended to be coquettish.
The girl poured the plum in her palm, stretched out her fragrant little hand over the table, and handed it directly to Lu Menglin.
Lu Menglin glanced at it indifferently, shook his head, and frowned slightly.
At this moment, Gui Qin's face suddenly changed.
She felt that she couldn't get off the stage, she thought that with her youthful and beautiful appearance and long-sleeved and good dancing character, she could easily convince the little handsome guy in front of her, but she was ruthlessly rejected by someone.
In Lu Menglin's opinion, this is really normal, okay? Everyone doesn't know each other, they just sit on the same train, is it necessary to be so hot?
And he really doesn't like this feeling of self-familiarity, after all, he has a lot of things in his heart, and if he is not interested in joining in the fun, he is not interested.
A few boys next to him wanted to see the joke at this time, Guiqin in their eyes has always been left and right, and they rarely encounter this kind of bull, and they all want to see Guiqin's next reaction.
Gui Qin's face changed slightly, from a warm smile to a little stiff, and then he retracted his little hand inch by inch, frowned, and said with disdain: "What madness?
Hearing that the goddess finally became disgusted with this guy, several boys around him breathed a sigh of relief.
They actually know that Guiqin is the kind of girl who seems to have a good temper and can get along with anyone, but in fact, she thinks very highly of herself and only enjoys the popularity of everyone, but she can't stand the slightest grievance.
Seeing that Gui Qin's face fell, several boys around him also fell silent, and the area that had been making a lot of noise was actually quiet for a while.
There was only the rhythmic crashing sound of the train wheels running over the tracks, and Lu Menglin listened to it with relish, only to feel that his ears were finally quiet.
In fact, apart from the first few sneers, it is impossible for those college boys to have any other targeted actions.
After all, this is on the train, and if the other party doesn't pay attention, they can't do anything too out of the ordinary.
College students in this era are basically very qualified. And they are not the rich second generation of later generations, they can't play too many tricks, otherwise they don't have to sit on a hard seat.
After a while, the train reached a large station in the middle of the way, and more than half of the passengers went down from the carriage, and the space suddenly seemed to be much looser.
There are obviously not many people who get on the train from this station, far less than the number of people who get on and off the station. Soon, the train restarted and slowly drove out of the platform.
However, at this moment, in the carriage where Lu Menglin and the others were, there was an incongruous vignette.
Two young men who had just gotten on the train came to this carriage, and their appearance was quite eye-catching.
One was tall and thin with long shawl hair, wearing a floral shirt and white jeans, and the other was short and wore only a vest, but his hair was dyed yellow, and he looked like a hedgehog head from a distance.
These two people are not good goods at first glance, at least in the eyes of the passengers around them.
The two of them condescendingly glanced around the carriage, and then their eyes fell on the seats in the second row at the front of the carriage.
Several passengers in that seat had just gotten off the bus, leaving only a single girl lying there.
The long-haired man and the yellow fur exchanged glances, and the two walked straight to the empty seat over there.
The appearance of these two people was so eye-catching, so the passengers in the carriage noticed their movements, and couldn't help but be faintly worried about the single girl.
Lu Menglin and the people at the table also saw this scene.
Unconsciously, I seemed to feel that the atmosphere in the carriage had changed somewhat, and even the sound was much quieter.
The long-haired man and the yellow-haired man sat next to the girl, and the other sat across from her.
The girl lying on the table sensed someone approaching and looked up blankly.
"Little sister, are you taking the train alone? are you going to Beijing?" the long-haired man shook his hair in a chic manner, raising small flakes of dandruff.
The awakened girl nodded, and shook her head again, seeming a little wary and a little uneasy.
At this time, everyone in the carriage noticed that this little girl was very good-looking and quite peugeot.
It has a small nose and a slender eye shape, and although the eyes are a little confused, it looks very soft. The two curved silkworm eyebrows, combined with the rounded chin, make the whole face very soft.
This is a thin but delicate girl, with small eyes, but she is quite beautiful and individual, and her facial features are very recognizable, which is easy to impress.
When the long-haired man and the yellow-haired man saw the true face of the little girl, they were stunned for a moment, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on their faces at the same time.
