Chapter 364: Fear of the Passing of the Bullet Train
Because of the tragic bullet train accident that occurred in mid-2011, many timid passengers were scared and silent. There are even parents who call their children and ask them what tickets they bought, and tell them: "It's only been a few days since the high-speed rail came out? That thing is so unreliable, don't sit on it!"
Qiao Lin still remembers very clearly that Murong and her boyfriend still wanted to take the bullet train to Shanghai to play, and when the bullet train accident happened, they were still entangled for a long time about whether to refund the ticket.
Murong said that the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway has only been opened for a month, and she no longer believes in this most advanced railway transportation method. Her boyfriend didn't care, and gave a lot of examples - you see that who, who, who, all took the train home, isn't there nothing?
The two of them discussed for a long time on the phone in Mandarin with a big ballast flavor. Murong was about to cry in the end, and said: "This thing will not come out sooner or later, if we have to wait for us to leave before we leave, isn't this just a warning to us? It's quite fresh to take the train, but we can't do something life-critical for the sake of freshness!"
Jolene was reciting political questions in bed, and when she heard the words "life is at stake", she immediately rolled and laughed.
In the end, Xiao Zihan made a compromise and agreed to change it to an ordinary express ticket to ensure the safety of his girlfriend's life.
After Murong exchanged the ticket, Qiao Lin, who was still laughing at her, couldn't laugh all of a sudden, because in the near future, she would also have to travel by high-speed rail. She's going to Tianjin to watch Real Madrid play.
It was the first time she had been up close to Kaka, and she had long been too excited. When he went to Kamakura and released his girlfriend's pigeon, Sun Ruiyang has always felt very guilty, so this time he bought a ticket for her a long time in advance, and even bought a high-speed rail ticket together.
For them at that time, they usually didn't have the opportunity to take the high-speed rail, but this time they could taste something new.
Jolene also tactfully asked her boyfriend if she wanted to change to a regular ticket or simply take the bus. Sun Ruiyang, who was immersed in writing his thesis, only replied: "Heh, I thought you were a female warrior who was not afraid of heaven and earth!"
Qiao Lin was angry, but she didn't mention exchanging tickets anymore, she couldn't be looked down upon by Sun Xiucai.
Nowadays, as a second- and third-tier city, the port city has already opened bullet trains, and the high-speed railway has become the most accustomed mode of travel for the port city people. Thinking of those past events, Jolene and the others laughed out loud, and they felt incredible. Today, when bullet trains and high-speed railways occupy the mainstream, and it is also today when green trains are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history, who can remember the past when they were afraid to sit because they bought bullet train tickets?
After the Wenzhou bullet train accident, the people of Gangcheng also rejoiced for a while -- the high-speed railway, as expected, still can't be trusted! There is no hurry, and when the technology matures, it will not be too late to build it again.
Jolene remembers that in that tragic accident, there was a little girl who survived and was adopted by her uncle. During that time, some great gods made MVs related to her, and the soundtrack was "Hello Tomorrow" by Milk Coffee. Many girls watched the MV and burst into tears, hoping that strong little girl could grow up healthy and happy.
However, at that time, the old couple of the Qiao family, who didn't use the Internet much, didn't know the story of the little girl, and they were worried about their eldest daughter who went to Hangzhou on a business trip.
When she saw the news on TV, Li Lanzhi was so frightened that her face turned white and she couldn't hold her chopsticks. called Qiao Lu, and the line was busy all the time. Comrade Lao Qiao was more calm, he counted his fingers and said: "First through Shanghai, then to Hangzhou, then Ningbo, Wenzhou...... Our daughter got off the car in Hangzhou, and when the car had an accident, she had already gotten out of the car. ”
Li Lanzhi was taken aback: "How did you memorize the route?"
"When I went to be a soldier, hey, I was happy at that time! I always looked out the window, I didn't sleep, and every stop I passed was engraved in my mind. ”
After Lao Qiao finished speaking, Qiao Lu's phone also called. Qiao Lu said that her phone was about to burst just now, and her friends, leaders, and colleagues took turns to care for her, which flattered her.
However, it was Qiao Nan who called her first. Qiao Nan said in a hurry, and Qiao Lu was confused. After learning that she had gotten off at Hangzhou Station, Qiao Nan said several times in a row, "That's good, that's good", and Qiao Lu was even more confused.
Qiao Nan is not mistaken, D301 is the bullet train that Qiao Lu was riding. Because of the long ride, she had plenty of time to prepare her thesis in the car. After getting out of the car, she went straight to the hotel and didn't watch the news at all. Through Qiao Nan, she learned that the bullet train she was riding had an accident in Wenzhou.
After hanging up the phone, the leader of their institute also called her, and the old professor who asked her to go on a business trip only shouted "Amitabha" after hearing that she was fine. If Qiao Lu had an accident on the way to travel for him, he would be condemned by his conscience for the rest of his life.
Qiao Lu reported her safety to them one by one, and until then, she thought that the people around her were making a big fuss, and she was not affected at all. But when she saw the casualties on the news the next morning, she was scared.
Originally, she wanted to go to Yandang Mountain for a round after the meeting. If she had been in the car yesterday and had a convulsion in her brain and decided to sit in Wenzhou on the spot, it would not have been certain whether she would have come back alive.
When a person is very young, he always thinks that death is a distant thing from him. It is not until you encounter illness or accident that you can know the preciousness of life.
Qiao Lu felt that she was lucky to avoid a bad luck, and the things that she had been struggling with for days had become trivial things. After the school, she also updated a status on the campus website: "I got off the bus when I sat in Hangzhou, and once again passed by bad luck, and I felt sad for the lost life...... I don't know if it's because I have palpitations, and I have ulcers (tears) in my mouth, so let's fly back to Hong Kong City!"
After this status was updated, many people left messages for her, expressing their condolences and concerns. Xu Wei sent a text message saying that he wanted to go to Hangzhou to see her. Qiao Lu's mouth opened wide in surprise - just this little thing, is it worth his journey of thousands of miles?
Qiao Lu hurriedly told him, no need, no need to make a fuss, Qiao Nan also called once, and after learning that she was safe, she didn't ask anymore.
Maybe Qiao Lu's attitude was too cold, so Xu Wei didn't ask any more. In stark contrast to him is Xiao Lin, Qiao Lu was walking on the edge of the West Lake that day, Xiao Lin suddenly called her, saying that he had arrived in Hangzhou, where could I find her?
Qiao Lu panicked all of a sudden, he didn't contact in advance, why did he come to Hangzhou to find her without a sound?
Xiao Lin smiled: "Anyway, it's only an hour to take the high-speed train, even if you are not here, I will have a meal in Hangzhou and rush back to Shanghai to work early tomorrow morning." ”
"Ah, now that the wind is so tight, do you dare to take the high-speed train?"
"Ha, that's a very rare and unlikely event, so don't be afraid. ”
Qiao Lu was still quite moved, so she had to tell him her address. After Xiao Lin came over, he first handed her a tube of ointment and asked her to rub it on her lips, so that it would not hurt to eat.
Qiao Lu was moved again, and was about to wipe it on her mouth, Xiao Lin suddenly grabbed her hand, Qiao Lu trembled, but he didn't let go of his hand, but clenched it tighter and tighter.
"Xiaolin, you, what are you doing here?"
"Sister Qiao Lu, I was really frightened when I saw the status you posted. I find that I still care about you very much. Even if you don't have an accident, I'll sweat for you. ”
Qiao Lu still didn't shake him off, so he continued: "Sister Qiao Lu, looking back, I felt that I was too abrasive, I shouldn't be like that...... I really like you and I want to pursue you and make you my girlfriend. ”
Qiao Lu blinked, completely dumbfounded.
How did Comrade Kobayashi, who had always been mild-mannered, suddenly become bold?
Qiao Lu was stunned, and Xiao Lin helped her open the tube of ointment, and said, "Let's apply it first! If you can't see it, I'll help you apply it." ”
"No...... No, I'll just apply it myself. ”
At that time, they had already arrived at a shopping mall, and Qiao Lu went to the bathroom of the mall and painted it in the mirror. Her hands were shaking all the time, and she secretly scolded several times for "not fighting", which caused others to look sideways.
After she came out of the bathroom, Xiao Lin had already bought a bouquet of flowers and handed it to her with a smile: "Sister Qiao Lu, the confession just now was too abrupt, how can I do without flowers?"
Qiao Lu didn't care much about this, she hadn't completely come to her senses, Xiao Lin couldn't help but say, and took her to a Western restaurant. After taking her seat, Qiao Lu asked, "Why did you suddenly ......?"
"Really want to know why?"
"Hmm. ”
"A colleague of the company went to Fuzhou on a business trip and was in the same car as you. ”
“...... That ......"
"Don't worry, he's fine, just a little bit injured, but he's hit hard. He posted some photos in the group, and the scene was ...... It's really miserable. Xiao Lin handed her the lemonade and said slowly: "People, I really don't know which will come first, tomorrow or the accident, and if you want to do something, you must do it as soon as possible." ”
Qiao Lu nodded thoughtfully, and Xiao Lin continued: "I didn't want to confess to you in such a hurry, but seeing the state of your hair, I was also shocked. Sister Qiao Lu, I really like you, if you miss this time, will you miss it for a lifetime?"
Qiao Lu blinked, and her eyes were already teary.
Xiao Lin took a sip of water and said, "Of course, you don't need to promise me now...... But I'm happy, I've never been so bold to confess to a girl. ”
Qiao Lumo rubbed the flower in her hand, which was the pink rose she liked very much. The roses are delicate and fragrant, and Qiao Lu's mood has become extremely happy.
"Kobayashi ......"
"Huh?"
"Do you still have time tomorrow? I want to go to Lingyin Temple, if you have time, come with me!"
The next day is Monday, which is almost the busiest day for professionals. But Xiao Lin did not hesitate and smiled: "Okay! It just so happens that I also want to go and see it...... By the way, bye to the Bodhisattva and ask for a marriage!"
