Chapter 104: Looking Through the Glass
"My friend is a man, he lives in a single room in the apartment, it's probably far from here, I just came here today, I need to find it back, you can follow me if you want to go. Chen Chi directly made his words clear. After speaking, he stopped caring about the girl and frowned to find the direction.
"You...... What are your friends doing?, students?" asked the girl, her eyes rolling around Chen Chi's face.
"Yes, what about you?"
"Oh, yes. The girl's voice was muffled, clearly reluctant to say much about herself.
Chen Chi took a step and looked sideways at the girl, who bit her lip and followed.
"Remember the name of the road, pay attention to the surroundings, and if you see a youth hostel, tell me about it. Chen Chi said.
The girl said yes and followed him. They walked and looked for their way, and did not inquire about each other's situation. Chen Chi concentrated, he only focused on how to bring people to his friend's house safely and smoothly, and was not interested in knowing anything else. And the girl, perhaps on guard, did not dare to say her name and address, and of course she could not ask about Chen Chi's situation.
Chen Chi knew that he didn't get enough trust from the girl, but he didn't care, where the morality was, if he changed to another girl, he would do the same.
And now, walking at night in a strange place has been replaced by his blue-gray soft-shell crab, but there is no one by her side.
This time is different from Xu Shuang's Christmas Eve and hitchhike to him for Christmas. At that time, she set out from her residence, and he picked her up, and both sides were familiar. And today she has just experienced a terrorist threat, and now it is so dark that she is still in a strange city. The fully open train station, no ticket gates, no checkpoints, anyone can enter and exit unimpeded. If anything happens at night, she will be left alone, and the six gods will be left alone. Even if all goes well, the rest of the road will have to go alone.
Chen Chi tried his best to listen to the sound on the phone, and for the first time realized what it was like to not be able to accompany or experience it in person. Worry and anxiety can be magnified a thousand times because the whip is too long. The heart hangs in the air, never to the ground, every minute and every second is a swamp pool in the dark night wilderness, only to make people stalemate with it in silence, constantly worrying about imagining unknown dangers, but it is silted and does not flow for half a minute.
After a long wait, Chen Chi finally heard the sound of the train rolling over the tracks, and then there were some small footsteps and the sound of clothes rubbing.
"Excuse me, can I sit here?" was his soft voice of the blue-gray soft-shell crab.
"Ah, sit, sit. "It was a female voice, a little old-sounding, with a warm voice, with a voiced nasal voice characteristic of the locals.
The corners of Chen Chi's lips curled, and after a while, Xu Shuang's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became clear: "Chen Chi, I'm in the car." "It's a little bit of honest joy," there's a vacancy. ”
Chen Chi chuckled lowly: "Okay." He exhaled slightly, and ordered seriously: "Shuangshuang, now you turn off your mobile phone and save power." I'll call you again when you get out of the car, text me if there's anything in the car, and I'll see it in time. ”
"It's going to be fine, I'll let you know when I get to the apartment, I'm going to ride back after getting off the train, it's not convenient to answer." ”
"Now you have a good rest and be careful not to fall asleep in the car. ”
"I never sleep in the car. Xu Shuangchuan muttered in defense.
Chen Chi hung up the phone with a smile and quickly dressed up and went out, his international calling card was about to run out, and he might not be able to buy it at this time, and he might have to go to his classmates to borrow it.
Xu Shuangjiang sat on the train, leaning on the soft and thick seat holster, and his heart was half steady. She was really scared to walk at night, and she usually had to return late from school, but she was riding fast, and besides, she was used to walking, so she wasn't too scared.
This time, she walked from Liang Shiyun to the train station, her heart trembled all the way, and the more she walked, the more anxious she became, thanks to her imagination of ghost stories too rich, and she was afraid that she would get lost in the dark. Even when she got to the platform, she didn't relax much, and in view of the experience of being favored by thieves last time, she didn't dare to approach the people waiting for the train.
It's all thanks to Chen Chi, and her and Chen Chi's mobile phones have been turned on, as if Chen Chi is by her side. No matter how long she kept her phone in her pocket, as long as she took it out to speak, Chen Chi would always respond immediately. This gave her the illusion that she had dragged Chen Chi into her pocket.
Xu Shuangchuan pursed her lips and smiled.
She put her backpack on her lap and hugged it, thinking to herself that this was really a thrilling and exciting day, and secretly prayed that the rest of the train journey would go smoothly and that she would not do anything to leave her halfway behind.
After the car passed two stops, the kind old lady next to her got off the car, Xu Shuangchuan moved herself to the window position inside, the backpack was sandwiched between her and the wall of the carriage, she was slender, and one person and one backpack did not occupy more seats.
Xu Shuangchuan was afraid that he would fall asleep if he was too bored, so he took out the newly bought book and flipped through it.
Soon, a pair of young men in the opposite seat also left.
The two rows of seats are facing each other, and the passengers are becoming more and more scarce at night, and now the small area of Xu Shuangxia is quiet and quiet, and she is the only one in the four seats.
When the car stopped at a certain station, a man came up, of ordinary height, in his twenties, wearing a black zipper sweater and a pair of dark blue ripped jeans, with a straight face, black eyebrows and black hair, and deep eye sockets, which looked like his double eyelids and eyebrows were very close. He sat down in the aisle opposite Xu Shuangjiang, and the flattened old black backpack was placed in the empty seat, his legs folded and straightened, and he almost rested under Xu Shuangjiang's row of seats.
Xu Shuangchuan glanced at him, this person's way of sitting blocked the entry and exit passages of the passengers inside, but she was still several stops away from getting off the bus, so she silently withdrew her gaze and continued to bury her head in reading.
The man sat and closed his eyes.
After Xu Shuangchuan looked at it for a while, she covered her mouth and yawned, which made her turn slightly to the window, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the man's gaze staring at her from the reflection of the windowpane. She was stunned, and the alarm bell sounded in her heart.
When the man saw her staring at the glass, he raised his eyebrows, and he also looked at the glass, and did not shy away from it, looking more and more presumptuously.
The eyes of the two collided in the reflection of the glass, Xu Shuang lowered her face, and saw that there were also two people sitting on the two rows of seats on the other side of the aisle, looking like a tall and serious local middle-aged uncle, she was slightly relieved.
Xu Shuang turned her head and continued to read with her eyes down, as if she and the man had never looked at each other through the glass.
But she couldn't read a word anymore, and her heart was highly guarded. She sat silently in the corner, without moving her eyebrows, still the quiet and restrained girl who read a book. In fact, she mobilized all her senses to guard against observing the man's movements. Her ears caught the grinding sound caused by the change in the man's sitting position, her eyes covered the man's legs and feet, and when she lifted her eyelids slightly, she could see the upper body of the man through the windowpane, and Xu Shuangchuan almost transformed herself into a hedgehog full of spines.
