With the alarm bell ringing, the boy lying on the bed reluctantly turned over, lazily pressed the alarm clock, and prepared to continue to fall asleep.

But he seemed to realize that something was wrong at once, and instantly bounced out of bed. The memories in my brain also revived as the sleepiness gradually subsided.

Memories go back to three days ago.

It's also a morning that doesn't want to wake up early.

But this time, it wasn't the alarm that woke him up, but a crisp phone ringing.

"Xiaoqing, it's time to get up."

After he pressed the answer button, a gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's summer vacation time, what's the matter, call me so early."

He asked, looking intently at the time on his phone's status bar.

"Ah, I've been working abroad for a while, and it's rare to see you call to say hello to your mother, I called back, and I'm still so impatient."

The voice on the other end of the phone was very helpless.

"Well, my dear mother, what did you have to tell me when you called so early? I decided to give up this morning, which was perfect for going to bed, and listened to you. ”

He also felt helpless about his mother's words, the family was sometimes really busy, his parents were not at home, but he had a younger sister to take care of. The daily study life alone is heavy enough, plus some housework, and there is indeed a lack of greetings to mothers abroad.

His name is Cheng Qing, and he is an ordinary high school student who is about to start his sophomore year of high school in the second half of this year. Life is unremarkable, the sense of presence in the class is relatively low, and the idea is that it is enough to do what you can. The zest for life is not so high.

"Do you remember Sister Yiqing, I called back some time ago and mentioned that it was the sister who worked with me, and she was also my sister studying in a university abroad."

"Hello."

Another girl's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Cheng Qing's mother, whose name is Yu Wei, is a researcher at a well-known medical company, and due to the needs of her department and the company, she needs to travel to the foreign branch of the company for a long time, so she does not have a lot of time to take care of Cheng Qing and Cheng Qing's sister at home in China. However, the relationship between mother and son is still very harmonious.

Cheng Qing's father, whose name was Cheng Mingzhe, was once a professor of law at a university. He later resigned from this position and opened a law firm.

It's just that six years ago, his father was involved in a traffic accident and died unexpectedly. At that time, this major traffic accident caused an uproar throughout the eastern metropolis. The reason, according to online reports, was that a large truck driver was drunk driving, did not stop the vehicle at a red light, and hit a pedestrian crossing the road at a very fast speed.

After the incident, it was found that the truck was already in a state of overweight and illegal driving at that time, and its speed was too high. At the same time, it was accompanied by the act of speeding up the escape from the scene without stopping the vehicle after the accident, causing another crushing injury to the victim. At that time, there were two people involved in the accident, and because the scene was very tragic, it was impossible to distinguish the specific identity of the victim.

At that time, the road section was in a state of renovation, and surveillance video equipment had not yet been installed. And the weather was very bad, overcast, windy, and rainy. There were no passers-by on the road, and almost all pedestrians took shelter from the strong wind and rain, and there happened to be no other vehicles passing by the accident section at that time. So no one else witnessed the scene at that time.

At the same time, because of the heavy rain, a lot of evidence at the scene was washed away, and when the police arrived, they did not collect much favorable evidence.

In the end, after the police cordoned off the scene of the accident and launched a large-scale search, they found a work badge with the name Xu Haiping, Cheng Qing's father and Cheng Mingzhe's assistant.

Based on this, the police deduced that the other victim was Cheng Qing's father, Cheng Mingzhe himself. Because at that time, Cheng Mingzhe was in court in a nearby court, and someone in the court noticed that the assistant accompanied Cheng Mingzhe to make some preparations for the court. That's why I came to the inference that these two people should be together, and therefore concluded that the other person involved in the accident was Cheng Mingzhe.

The vehicle involved in the accident was extremely inertial due to the excessive load of the body, and the speed of the vehicle was extremely fast at that time, and it could not brake immediately, and it hit the fence in the middle of the road until it hit the roadside bump. And because of the strong impact, the body caught fire and exploded, and the perpetrator was also killed on the spot. The police found a strong smell of alcohol at the scene, and after a careful search, they found a broken wine bottle, which also determined that he was drunk driving and closed the case.

This also became the largest traffic case in Dongdu for many years at that time.

Turning back to Cheng Qing's current situation, the voice on the phone was a colleague from Cheng Qing's mother's foreign enterprise branch, named Wei Yiqing.

This person, Wei Yiqing, is a student at a famous foreign medical university. With excellent grades and research topics, he entered Cheng Qing's mother's company, and is doing some work internships. Now it is Cheng Qing's mother who takes her to do some research, and at the same time, she is also juggling her studies in school.

This medical university also happens to be the university where Cheng Qing's mother graduated before, so the two can be regarded as a senior sister and sister. And because of this relationship, the relationship between the two is also relatively close.

"Oh...... Hello sister. ”

Cheng Qing still had an impression of the sister mentioned by her mother, and politely replied with greetings.

"Sister Yiqing was born in her home country and later studied abroad. Her sister also studied abroad like her. It's just that because Sister Yiqing has added work problems in addition to studying, she can't stay at home all the time and devote most of her energy to taking care of her sister, and this is a foreign country, if her sister leaves her, the interpersonal relationships here are relatively unfamiliar, and the environment is not as familiar as her home country, so her sister is about to return to her country to study. ”

"Coming to study in your home country?"

"Yes, it is estimated that I will arrive at the airport in my home country in the morning three days later, and I will trouble you to pick you up at that time, Xiaoqing." Yu Wei said on the other end of the phone.

"My country's airport, have you already booked your accommodation?" Cheng Qing asked.

"She didn't book her sister's accommodation, but she didn't plan to make a reservation."

Yu Wei replied.

"And where is she going to live?" Cheng Qing continued to ask.

"She'll come to our house." Yu Wei continued to answer Cheng Qing's questions.

"Oh." Cheng Qing replied subconsciously.

But he seemed to realize that something was wrong, and suddenly, he asked suspiciously, "What, living in our house, does it mean that I will take care of her?" There is still Xiaoxi at home who wants me to take care of. ”

"That's right, you'll take care of it, and she'll live in our house. Xiaoxi also happens to have a partner, so it's troublesome for Xiaoqing. Yu Wei said.

"Oh, and her cousin seems to be a teacher at your school, but she can't come to pick up the plane on time due to schoolwork, so she needs your help in three days." Yu Wei added.

"Can't she live in her cousin's house?"

"Her cousin is still single and lives in a faculty dormitory."

Cheng Qing just wanted to continue to shirk this troublesome matter, Yu Wei on the other end of the phone continued: "In short, Xiaoqing, you don't have to be troublesome, your enthusiasm for life must be contained in the vitality of youth, try to show as much as possible, take off your ordinary label, then please, Xiaoqing." ”

Next, there was only the sound of "beep" after the phone hung up.

Cheng Qinggang had no place to say what he wanted to say, and he could only shake his head helplessly on the phone.

"Oh, he's given me a troublesome task." Cheng Qing muttered dissatisfiedly.

Glancing at the time, it seems that it is still early. Cheng Qing put down her phone and fell asleep again, leaving behind all the tasks and the troubles it brings.

Time goes back to the present day.

"Oops, the pick-up time seems to be ...... today"

Cheng Qing was a little flustered, opened the memo in her mobile phone, her expression changed again, and she read silently in her heart: "Dongdu International Airport, flight number MU5258, if there is no special reason for delay, the plane will arrive at ten o'clock in the morning." ”

"Fortunately, I booked the alarm clock at half past seven, and I didn't continue to lie on the bed and not get up as usual, but now this time is ......" Cheng Qing's expression just calmed down, but his eyes began to change drastically after seeing the time on the status bar of the phone.

The status bar on the phone clearly shows 8:03 a.m.

Cheng Qing hurriedly turned on the alarm clock setting in his mobile phone, and the scene that made his face black was the content displayed on the screen:

Alarm clock 1, originally set at 7:30AM, has been repeated three times, with a recurrence interval of ten minutes, and is about to repeat the fourth time, and there are seven minutes left before the next repeat time.

Continuing to watch the next repetition time change from seven to six, Cheng Qing couldn't help but ask in her heart, do you have an alarm immunity physique, and this kind of soft alarm clock ringtone can't work on me?

Cheng Qing hurriedly changed his clothes, and at the same time did not forget to play the alarm again, and a melodious and soft ringtone came from the mobile phone, and even he shook his head helplessly. It didn't seem to be enough to wake him up from his sleep.

It seems that I was lucky enough to hear the alarm at eight o'clock sharp.

However, next time, let's set up some gongs and drums, although it may be scary to think of it in a dream in the morning, but the effect is not achieved by this soft ringtone.

Cheng Qing turned off the bell and thought.

When she walked to the bathroom to wash, Cheng Qing saw her dull eyes and messy hairstyle in the mirror, and shook her head helplessly, she had been at home for a long time, and she was already ordinary, and she didn't care about the image or anything at all.

After washing, Cheng Qing wiped some water on her hair, tidied up her hair a little, and looked a little normal before Cheng Qing walked out of the bathroom.

"Then you can go to the pick-up."

With a backpack on his back and a locked door, Cheng Qing embarked on his pick-up journey.

Carrying a backpack has become Cheng Qing's habit. As long as you go out, you will definitely take it with you. Most of the time it's empty. However, according to Cheng Qing's thoughts, maybe sometimes it will be useful, it is a kind of advance preparation, and maybe the little space provided by this bag can also be of great use.

Although the usefulness has not been reflected.

While waiting for the elevator, Cheng Qing looked at the ceiling, put her hands in her pockets, and waited quietly for the elevator.

He doesn't like all kinds of cumbersome greetings, such as getting close to his neighbors and pretending to be familiar with them. Because of his ordinary character.

But he never thought that his idea was wrong, and indeed, according to his words, there was no need to maintain a false appearance.

After walking out of the building, there is still a way out of the community. As soon as Cheng Qing went out, he was flashed by the great sunshine in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, it was difficult for him to go out once during the summer vacation, and there was such a big sunshine to greet him.

It seems that I will go out less in the future.

Cheng Qing made this decision in her heart.

It seems that this very bright sunshine has taken away part of Cheng Qing's enthusiasm for life again.

Walking out of the main gate of the community, Cheng Qing did not walk to the bus stop, but went to stop the taxi on the road.

The original plan was to walk to the nearest subway station to my home and take the subway to Dongdu. International airport, but because the plan can never catch up with the change, due to the evil "alarm immunity constitution", and a certain amount of time spent walking. Cheng Qing had no choice but to abandon this affordable but time-consuming plan.

As for the second plan, Cheng Qing felt distressed when she thought about it.

That is to take a taxi directly from your doorstep to Eastern International Airport, because the taxi will take the nearest route to get there, and you don't need to take a specific route to transfer to the subway to get to the airport like you would with a bus.

However, this plan will test Cheng Qing's economic ability. Although Cheng Qing's family is relatively wealthy, all the economic power is in the hands of Cheng Qing's mother, Yu Wei. Most of the money that Cheng Qing can get every month is living expenses, which are extremely limited. The rest of the money saved was saved by Cheng Qing herself from a little bit of life.

The distance to the airport is still relatively far. The cost of travel is directly proportional to the distance.

Cheng Qing came to this conclusion, but he didn't continue to struggle, no way, who told himself to get up half an hour late, if you want to get up at ten o'clock, you have to take a taxi quickly.

Seeing a taxi, Cheng Qing immediately beckoned to attract the attention of the taxi master. After seeing Cheng Qing beckoning, the taxi master gradually slowed down and parked the car next to Cheng Qing.

"Where?"

The master opened the co-pilot's window and asked, unbuckled the seat belt, probed over, and asked.

"Dongdu International Airport."

"Airport Line, Ah, ......"

The master wanted to speak and stopped, he glanced at Cheng Qing, Cheng Qing was slightly anxious at this time, he nodded and said, "Come on, young man." ”

Cheng Qing opened the co-pilot's door, got into the car, closed the door, and fastened his seat belt.

The air conditioner was turned on in the car, and Cheng Qing felt a cool feeling coming from the pavement.

The master also fastened his seat belt, because he didn't want the air conditioning in the car to be wasted on this hot day, he closed the window.

The car started slowly and gradually started moving.

After Cheng Qing got into the car, she noticed a small sign with taxi employee information displayed in front of the passenger seat, which contained the photo and name of the master.

The master's surname is Lu, his name is Feng, but the photo looks slightly younger than the master himself, probably because the master has been working for a long time.

"Master, what is the price per kilometer from here to the airport?"

Cheng Qing decided to make a certain calculation of the cost of the journey, so as not to feel more distressed when she arrived at the destination because of too much psychology or the price difference.

"I want to think about it." Master Lu thought for a while and quoted a price that was not too expensive.

"Thank you."

After Cheng Qing calculated, he believed that the price was still within the acceptable range of his funds.

He adjusted the air conditioner slightly so that its air vents were aimed at him. Maybe it was because he was too impatient to go out in a hurry just now, and with the scorching sun, Cheng Qing sweated a lot.

"Boy, don't keep blowing on the air conditioner when you're just sweating, you'll catch a cold." Master Lu glanced at Cheng Qing and reminded him kindly.

"Oh, okay." Cheng Qing continued to adjust the air outlet of the air conditioner and made the air outlet a little smaller.

"There is paper here, you can use it, wipe it first, and the temperature environment in the car is also quite different from the outside." Master Lu pointed to a box of napkins in the taxi.

Cheng Qing picked up the napkin, smoked a few and simply wiped the sweat, and expressed her gratitude to the master.

This master's attitude towards passengers is really friendly.

Cheng Qing thought to herself.

The heat in his heart gradually calmed down and dissipated, and Cheng Qing gradually calmed down.

Cheng Qing leaned on the seat of the taxi slightly, and then thought of the boredom in the ride, so she took out her mobile phone to kill time.

The game is generally rarely played by Cheng Qing, even if he gets started with all the games and masters them quite quickly. However, he has never been enthusiastic, because there are some games that require a lot of effort to get to a good level.

Cheng Qing thought for a long time, opened the chat software in her mobile phone, and saw if there was any new news.

His eyes immediately rested on the first name in the message bar.

Lin Xinlu.
