There is a saying that alcohol strengthens people's courage, and whether it is popular or vulgar, or both, in short, it shows a relatively common phenomenon: the stimulation of alcohol can make people let go of many worries and do something they dare not, do not want or are unwilling to do when they are sober.

Mo Fan thinks that he is far from the standard of "cowardice", but he does not deny that he will do some irrational things after drinking, for example, promising to take Ji Xiaoying home for the New Year. When he got up the next morning, he regretted it a little.

But the promise has been promised, and the two have hooked, and now if they regret it, maybe the violent girl will eat him alive. Besides, although last night's decision was a little impulsive, it was still very sober when making the decision, so how could it be attributed to drunken nonsense and irresponsible?

But thinking of Ji Xiaoying's various inconspicuous words and deeds, Mo Fan felt that it was the wisest choice not to take her home.

What to do?

With such a entanglement, Mo Fan went downstairs for morning exercises. Ji Xiaoying still went down earlier than him, running circles around the lake, her steps were very light, and she seemed to be in a very good mood. Seeing Mo Fan coming, Ji Xiaoying smiled at him and beckoned, her attitude could be described as extremely friendly, unlike the usual way to sneer a few words as soon as they met.

After running laps, the two went to the side to do stretching exercises, Ji Xiaoying said that she had already packed her luggage, but she still lacked thick winter clothes, and she had to take time to buy a few later. She checked the weather in Mo Fan's hometown of Qinzhou, and knew that the temperature there was more than ten degrees below zero, which was much colder than Puhai.

Seeing that Ji Xiaoying's interest was so high, both her words and her expression were full of expectation, Mo Fan really didn't dare to think about what kind of expression she would become if she repented, it would be quite cruel, right?

"Actually, although the temperature is low in my house, the humidity is not much, and the temperature is not much different from here. And we have heating in our house, and it's so warm in the house that we feel a little hot just wearing thermal underwear. ”

"Really, then I don't have to buy clothes?"

Ji Xiaoying has a strong body, excellent physique, and is not very afraid of the cold, and sometimes walks around the house barefoot in winter. However, there will always be differences between the north and the south, and it is hard to guarantee that she will be a little uncomfortable. Mo Fan thought for a while and said, "It's almost enough for you to bring a thicker down jacket, and the shoes are best to keep warm." ”

"Okay, I got it. Ji Xiaoying nodded.

The two chatted for a while, and Mo Fan suddenly remembered the most important thing: "You don't have a ticket, how can you go?"

Ji Xiaoying was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she patronized and was happy, she didn't think about this question at all, and said, "Why don't you drive?"

It seems that she still knows that there is no need to count on the train ticket at this time, but it is too unreliable to drive back. Mo Fan said: "It's not good to drive, the road is too far, not only are people tired, but also in case of rain and snow at this time, if there is ice on the road, it is quite unsafe." Besides, if there is a big traffic jam, will we celebrate the New Year on the highway?"

Ji Xiaoying said: "What about the plane?"

Mo Fan said: "There is only this option, the premise is that you can book a ticket." ”

Ji Xiaoying didn't exercise anymore when she heard this, so she pulled Mo Fan and went upstairs, to solve the problem of tickets first. Back in the house, Mo Fan checked on the Internet first, Ji Xiaoying made a few calls, probably because it was too early, many ticket companies had not yet worked, and some of the calls were not answered, and the answering person also said that he was not sure if there was a ticket, so he left Ji Xiaoying's phone number and said that he would reply to her later.

This kind of reply is not completely perfunctory, the air ticket from Puhai to the northwest before the Chinese New Year is very tight, and the tickets for this day or two must have been booked out long ago, just to see if anyone has a temporary refund.

Ji Xiaoying thought for a while and said, "It's really not good, you take the train, I'll drive." ”

Mo Fan said, "Don't you have a way?" Ji Xiaoying said, "Then I'll call Uncle Hu?" Mo Fan asked, "Who is Uncle Hu?" Ji Xiaoying said, "My father's secretary." Mo Fan shook his head and said, "It's not good. ”

Ji Xiaoying pondered for a moment again, and seeing that Mo Fan didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, she couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said, "You promised to take me there, do you want to regret it?"

Mo Fan thought to himself, if you are not afraid that you will not be able to stand the blow, of course I will regret it. said: "If you regret it, I will definitely take you there." ”

Ji Xiaoying said, "Then you're not in a hurry at all?" stared at Mo Fan for a while, and then asked, "Do you have any way?"

Mo Fan smiled and said, "There is no way, but there is a way out." Aren't you able to sneak into the train station, it's a big deal, let's get on the train first and pay the ticket later. ”

Ji Xiaoying glared and said, "You let me squeeze a bunk with you?"

Mo Fan was suddenly a little speechless, and said, "Are you willing or not, even if I am willing to be a flight attendant." Lay for you to sleep, I'll go to the hard-seat car. ”

Ji Xiaoying laughed and said, "You still have a good conscience." But don't grieve you, I'll go to the hard seat. ”

Mo Fan sneered: "It's just you, pull it down." The hard-seat carriage during the Spring Festival is the same as on the subway during the rush hour, crowded with people, close to people, and it is difficult to even turn around, and the toilet is often occupied, and there is no place for convenience. And the air in the carriage is not circulated, the smell of stinky feet, instant noodles, smoke and so on, stay in that place for more than ten hours, can you stand it?"

Ji Xiaoying's face suddenly turned embarrassed, but after hesitating, she nodded and said, "I can stand it." ”

Mo Fan said: "Okay, don't be reckless." Didn't I tell you, they listened to me during the trip? ”

After the Chinese New Year last year, Mo Fan came to Puhai in a hard seat, and that experience was extremely ecstatic, if it wasn't for the impossible, he would never want to try it a second time. However, I have a soft sleeper ticket in my hand, and I can stay in the soft sleeper car during the day, and the hours at night will pass in one fell swoop. It's best to be able to stay in the dining car, at least have a seat, and it's not as crowded as a hard-seat car, but the location of the dining car is quite sought-after, and it's hard to say whether you can grab it. If it's not for the season, if you're worried about snow and ice on the road, it's a better idea to drive back. The two of them should not be too tired.

That's it for now. Ji Xiaoying went back to her to take a shower and change clothes, Mo Fan also took a shower, and then made some breakfast.

After Ji Xiaoying came over to eat, she said, "I went to the police station to ask for leave and buy something by the way." You'll call a few more times later to see if you have a ticket. ”

Mo Fan said: "Got it, do you think I want to squeeze the hard seat?"

Sent Ji Xiaoying away, Mo Fan cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, sat down to watch the news, and received a call from Lu Xiaorong. Lu Xiaorong had just arrived home and called to report his safety. The two chatted for a while, and Lu Xiaorong suddenly mentioned Ji Xiaoying again and said: "I just came back to my taste in the car, Xiaoying is afraid that there is no one at home for the New Year, so I want to come to my house to have a lively time." ”

Mo Fan said: "It should be like this. After you left, she came to threaten me again, saying that she would go to my house to investigate, and if she didn't let her go, she would lock me up.

Lu Xiaorong smiled: "She is joking with you, can she really lock you up?" Xiaoying is lonely and lonely for the New Year, how pitiful, if you can't do it, you can take her to your house, right?"

Mo Fan said: "Just let her go to your house, just be your companion." ”

Lu Xiaorong seemed to hesitate for a moment and said, "My family is a little inconvenient. ”

Mo Fan said, "Oh, then forget it. ”

Lu Xiaorong explained: "My parents have been in conflict recently, and they have made some trouble, and I want to take the opportunity of the Chinese New Year to talk to them. I don't usually tell you this, because I think it's a little difficult to say, and I don't want to hide it from you, don't blame me, okay?"

Mo Fan said: "Where do you want to go, how can I blame you? If you don't say that you naturally have your reason, don't I even understand this?"

Lu Xiaorong said sweetly: "You are so good to me. When my parents are together, I'll bring you to meet them, okay?"

Mo Fan smiled and said, "I'm just waiting for this day." ”

Lu Xiaorong said: "I'm yours, I can't run." ”

Mo Fan said: "I'm quite sure of this. ”

Lu Xiaorong smiled and said, "Then Xiaoying will be entrusted to you." ”

Mo Fan said, "Okay, I'll take in a stray dog." ”

The two chatted for almost an hour, and they were quite reluctant when they hung up the phone. Distance can sometimes dilute feelings, but it can also double the longing.

After hanging up Lu Xiaorong's phone, Mo Fan began to pack his luggage. In fact, most of the things that should be brought Lu Xiaorong sorted out for him yesterday, and there were a few clothes for his parents, all of which Lu Xiaorong picked, although she didn't go home with Mo Fan, she wanted to bring them. In the past two months, when Mo Fan talked to his parents on the phone, he revealed his relationship with Lu Xiaorong little by little, and his parents also knew that he had a girlfriend.

Mo Fan also brought some things to Lu Xiaorong's parents, but when he bought them, he always felt that they were too little, but when he packed his luggage, he found that it was too heavy, which added a lot of burden to Lu Xiaorong. I hope that those things can play a more positive role in the reconciliation of her parents. In this case, Ji Xiaoying is really not suitable to go to Lu Xiaorong's house, the ability of violent girls to cause chaos is first-class, and this trouble can only be handled by him.

After sorting out his things, he received a call from Liang Wenbo, saying that he was going to send him off in the afternoon. Mo Fan smiled and said, "What is there to give, I don't have a few things, and besides, you can't enter the station, what are you tossing?"

Liang Wenbo said: "Then I won't care about you." Remember to bring more souvenirs when you come back, and I can pick you up if you can't take them. ”

Mo Fan said: "The potatoes (potatoes) in my house are delicious, do you want me to send you a cart of skins?"

Liang Wenbo said: "As long as you send me, what a big deal!"

Mo Fan said: "You will scrape the potato skins." ”

Liang Wenbo said: "Then forget it." ”

The two talked nonsense for a while and hung up the phone. Mo Fan suddenly remembered that Liang Wenbo has a lot of family members this year, and it must be very lively during the New Year, why don't you let Ji Xiaoying go to his house for the New Year?

He was thinking about it when Ji Xiaoying called and excitedly told him that he had booked a ticket to fly from Puhai to Xijing at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Mo Fan was happy with her, and persuaded her to go to Liang Wenbo's house for the New Year. He found that he had been deeply influenced by Lu Xiaorong recently, and he had become a little too soft-hearted.

Everyone, the tickets for going home for the New Year are not good, so why don't you have a few more recommended tickets?
