Truancy Day is not unique to Caltech, but its old rival, MIT, has also tacitly acquiesced in the existence of truancy day.

Evan had only heard of it before, but it was the first time he had actually experienced it firsthand.

He found it interesting.

Especially this year, Orville's unique way of transforming the violent confrontation between the upper and lower grades into a collision of knowledge and intelligence made this tradition more "rational", which not only made Evan's interest greatly increased, but the college, especially the dean Dubrich, called Orville to praise him the next day.

After a noisy and relaxed day, Orville stepped down as chairman of the BlackerHouse, and a new chairman was to be elected before the end of the semester, while the entire Caltech was in a tense mood.

This is because the senior students are already in the countdown to graduation, and the students in other grades will also be facing the final exams of this semester.

June 4 was the date for seniors and graduate students to begin their defenses, and Orville passed them without a hitch.

A week later, starting on June 11, Evan also ushered in the final exams for each course.

Evan coped with ease.

On June 13, the school held a graduation ceremony for its graduates, but Evan boarded a train to New York on that day.

Together with the entire crew of "High Heels and Buttoned Shoes".

Before leaving, Evan had a meeting with his colleagues in the Solid State Physics Laboratory and gave them a number of tasks.

Northeast of Downtown Los Angeles, Union Station.

Union Station is a transportation hub in Southern California and is the West Coast terminus of Union Pacific Railroad's railroad connecting the Pacific to East Chicago.

Opened in 1939 at a cost of 11 million dollars, the station is a blend of Dutch Colonial Revival, Renaissance and modern streamlining, with a splendid interior that will be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Evan and Audrey took a taxi to Cesar Chavez Avenue, where the station is located.

As soon as the two got out of the car, Bob and Isla and Simran followed.

The two women took Evan and Audrey's suitcases.

A few minutes later, the group walked into the resplendent hall.

In the wide hall, dozens of people from the crew of "High Heels and Buttoned Shoes" gathered together, which was particularly conspicuous.

Evan motioned for Bob to buy tickets, and he and Audrey walked over to where the crew was.

Isla and Simran, dressed in black suits, followed them with their suitcases.

Seeing Evan and Audrey, Abbott didn't ask for it and greeted him personally.

This scene surprised several leading actors who were chatting with Abbott.

"Audrey is just a small supporting role, although Director Abbott personally introduced it to the crew, but there is no need to pay so much attention to it, right?"

However, when seeing Evan and the two girls dressed as bodyguards behind him, some well-informed people connected the producer who was suddenly replaced some time ago with the attitude of Director Abbott at this time.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Abbott!"

After Audrey and Abbott greeted him, Evan shook him and said, "We're not late for you to keep you waiting, are we?"

Abbott smiled and said: "Of course not, but it doesn't matter if you are late, for Audrey's sake, as long as there is a signal, the Union Pacific 844 locomotive will deliberately stop in place until Audrey boarded its body." ”

Audrey sneered, "Mr. Abbott, what you said is too exaggerated!"

Abbott laughed.

After laughing, he looked at Evan and asked, "Evan, did you specifically accompany Audrey to New York?"

Evan shook his head and replied, "No, I happened to be in New York to have something to do." ”

After a while, Bob, who had bought the ticket, walked over.

Abbott then said: "Most of us are in the sixth sleeper compartment, and we hope that our positions are not too far apart. ”

Evan took the ticket and looked at it, and replied, "No, it's only a few cars apart." ”

"Well, then we can talk together so that the long journey doesn't get too boring and difficult," Abbott said. ”

Evan nodded and said, "That's right!"

Seeing that Abbott and Audrey brought the male companion had a good conversation, several leading actors looked at each other, and then came up to greet Audrey.

It is almost their (her) instinct to look at words and looks, and pull the relationship.

"Audrey, is he really your boyfriend?"

Audrey confessed her relationship with Evan after a few words.

"Audrey, who are those big men and those two women, bodyguards? Tell me, are you the daughter of a rich man coming out to experience life, or is your little boyfriend the prince of which family?"

This kind of question that tested Evan's identity, Audrey snorted and did not answer positively.

Miss Fabre, one of the leading actresses, was very interested in Evan after getting close to Audrey. With some time left before departure, she twisted her waist and came to Evan's side.

"Hey, good afternoon!" Fabre took the initiative to reach out to Evan and introduced himself: "I'm Fabre, and I play Sara in the play. ”

Evan didn't do the usual kiss salute, just stretched out his right hand and shook her gently, and responded a little coldly: "Hello!"

Then he continued to talk to Abbott about the previous topic.

Evan's attitude did not make Fabre retreat, but her eyes lit up, but she really couldn't get into the content of Evan's conversation with Abbott, so she could only step aside first.

Who knows what the "black devil" they say is?

Fabre had no professional education, and she did not know that "Black Devil" was the first musical in the United States.

Evan was able to talk to professionals like Abbott thanks to Audrey's frequent return of textbooks and his good memory.

Fifteen minutes before five o'clock, the train named "Los Angeles City" that Evan and the others were riding was finally able to board.

Evan and Audrey were in a double sleeper car, and the crew was in a regular sleeper car.

Isla, Simran and Evan were in the same car, and Bob was in the regular sleeper car.

Before boarding, Evan took a special look at the train and realized that it was not a steam locomotive.

The black smoke of the steam locomotive was too obvious to be concealed in any way.

After Evan asked the conductor, he learned that it was a diesel locomotive.

The Los Angeles City train departed from Los Angeles and had to pass through Salt Lake City, Ogden and other cities in between, and it took about 40 hours to reach the final destination in Chicago, which was already two days later in the morning.

Then there are a lot of trains from Chicago to New York.

"Woo......"

Even though it wasn't a steam locomotive, the train sounded a whistle on time to signify the departure, and the wheels and tracks of the train made a "what's more" sound and slowly turned.

About an hour after the train departed, Fabre walked into a restaurant called the "Gold Room" in one of the carriages and met Evan and his party unexpectedly.
