Chapter 51: On the Road

Life is not only about reluctance, but also poetry and distance.

Du Chen changed his QQ signature to this sentence, then put on his luggage and stepped on the train to Yanjing.

August is the hottest month of the year. The asphalt road is illuminated by the sun, and the rising vapor seems to have distorted the world. It is during this season that all new college students sign up.

Du Chen is the same, in this most uncomfortable season of the year, he packed his bags, left his hometown, and came to the place where countless people chase their dreams.

China's three major cities, Yanjing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, are three gorgeous but sad places. Countless people come here, perhaps for their dreams, perhaps to change their fate, or to leave the original city, to leave the girl they have loved for many years, so they have come to this crowded place and forget the past.

The train to Yanjing was overcrowded, and Du Chen observed that many people were about the same age as him. With immature faces, hesitation to leave home for the first time, or deep buried longing for the future, countless college students have embarked on this invisible road.

Judging from the conversations on the train, these people are basically college students, and basically everyone is accompanied by their parents. The young people are a little shy, and only the adults open up the conversation with each other and start talking.

Du Chen is an outlier among these people, and this time he is the only one who gets on the train to sign up. In fact, it's not that Du Sicheng and his wife don't want to send it, it's just that the supermarket can't leave people at all, and Du Chen feels that it's really unnecessary.

Squeezing the train in this weather, Du Chen, a young man, felt that he couldn't stand it, and then let the second elder come to accompany him to suffer, Du Chen really didn't want to go.

Besides, the family's supermarket is not doing well now, not only because of the good geographical location, but also because their parents abide by the principle of being a human being and only sell fresh ingredients. Day by day, word of mouth is there, and there are naturally more people.

I have to say that word-of-mouth is really useful, whether it is a person or a business. If the reputation of your store is poor, naturally no one will come to buy your things; If you have a bad reputation as a person, you will find that when you are in trouble, there is no one to help you at all.

Du Chen suddenly found that he seemed to be getting more and more hypocritical. The previous self would never have thought of this, perhaps as he grew older, Du Chen thought more and more.

"Hello passengers, Tianjin Railway Station is almost here, please bring your belongings, please do not leave them in the carriage. In order to facilitate your travel, there is a direct line to the bus station in the railway station, and passengers in need should follow the signs in the station to go by themselves. ”

"Passengers who get off the train at Tianjin Station, please get ready, Tianjin Station has arrived."

The sweet voice of the flight attendant came from the radio station, and Du Chen looked at the watch on his wrist and found that the time was almost up.

There weren't many people getting off the bus, only a few. The number of people getting on the train was almost twice as high as getting off the train, and the air in the already somewhat crowded carriage was a little thinner again.

Students also accounted for the majority of the people who came up from Tianjin Station, but the luggage of these students was only a small suitcase. Du Chen finally didn't have to be regarded as an alien by others, looking at himself and his suitcase.

Du Chen's seat was the one by the window, and the family of three opposite got off the bus when they arrived in Tianjin. There were three young men, two women and one man.

The girl by the window is very beautiful, and she belongs to that kind of very youthful beauty. There is no powder on the face, and long hair is parted in the middle. Although the eyes are not big, with a high nose bridge and thin lips, they look extremely delicate.

Perhaps feeling Du Chen's eyes, the girl smiled slightly. Du Chen also responded with a smile and nodded in response.

After the three of them sat down, the boy who had come with him took out the snacks he had already prepared from his bag. Potato chips, jelly, melon seeds, soda, etc. Although there were two girls, Du Chen could clearly see that the boy took special care of the girl opposite Du Chen.

Du Chen smiled slightly, Du Chen did the same thing about the boy back then. At that time, Du Chen chased a girl, and he would also invite the girl's good friend to come out to play together, so that it would not look embarrassing and no one would find out.

Du Chen didn't know that the smile on the corner of his mouth did not escape the girl's eyes.

The train started slowly, and the shaking feeling appeared again, and Du Chen sighed slightly. When will high-speed rail be as fast and accessible as later generations?

From Tianjin to Yanjing, the train takes nearly two hours, which is unimaginable in later generations. Not to mention that there are many intercity trains and they are fast, even ordinary high-speed trains will not take so long.

However, there is only one last step left in the long march, and forbearance is over, Du Chen comforted himself so much.

After the train started, the carriages, which had been much quieter, began to talk again. The three teenagers opposite Du Chen also began to chat while eating, but anyone with a little experience could see that the girl by the window seemed particularly at a loss.

Seeing this scene, Du Chen knew that it was a good show, and the smile on his face was even bigger. This scene may be able to add a little sparkle to this boring journey.

Just when Du Chen was about to watch a good show, the girl sitting opposite Du Chen suddenly turned her head around, and a heart-pounding smile bloomed on her face.

"Hello, did you also go to school in Yanjing?"

Du Chen never thought that this girl would suddenly talk to him.

"Huh? Yes, I also went to Yenching to study. ”

Although it is very helpless, the minimum politeness must also be spoken.

"I'm a student at Yenching University, I don't know which school you are?"

When the girl said Yenching University, the eyes of several parents of students next to her revealed an indescribable light.

"I'm also a student at Yenching University, I'm glad I will," Du Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Oops? Isn't that an alumnus? My name is Wang Man, and my friends call me Manman, please advise. ”

The girl stretched out her right hand, and the smile on her face was even bigger, and she had the expression of seeing an alumnus. But from the sharp eyes of the boy next to him, Du Chen could feel that this girl really hated like a little fox when she smiled.

There was no way, Du Chen also stretched out his hand and shook the girl's hand, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I didn't expect to meet alumni on the train." ”

"I'm a freshman freshman, and seeing that you have taken so little luggage, you should be older than me, right?"

"I'm also a freshman and just graduated this year"

One of the two of them was secretly pregnant with a ghost, and the other was willing to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, so they chatted like this. It's just that the boy next to the girl has a more and more ugly face.
