Chapter 1 Travel

The breeze blew through the streets of Jianghai City, blowing away some heat, but the unstoppable heat still hit the face.

Jiang Hong changed his tiredness from the past, and his hair that was scattered in the past was urgently repaired last night, and he put on newly bought travel shoes and clothes, hiding his haggard face in the deepest part of his brand-new clothes. It's not bad to rely on clothes, and on that stubborn cheek, at this time, the sweat squeezed out of the bus, and he looks like he has a different taste when he carries a travel bag.

"Here, here!" Before Jiang Hong could wipe his sweat, there was a familiar and crisp call from a girl at the entrance of the station. Jiang Hong turned his head casually, and forced a faint smile when he turned his head, only to see Li Xue rushing towards him waving his hands. Ignoring the eyes of others, he muttered: "Why are you only here now, and you are still crowded with buses, you don't know that when you go out for a trip today, the whole class is waiting for you?"

Jiang Hong put away the faint smile on his face, recovered his somewhat stiff face, and said lightly: "It's late, I'm sorry, the traffic jam is terrible." Then he lowered his head and walked towards the entrance of the station, he had already seen the classmates at the gate of the station, and there were only four or five there.

Jiang Hong walked to the entrance of the station and put the travel bags next to the four or five that had already been piled up, and turned around and smiled at them. This is Li Xue hurriedly chased after him and said angrily: "Why are you like this, it's reasonable to be late, I haven't seen ......you like this" Before she finished speaking, Ma Ruoqing said softly: "Okay Li Xue, it's still early, the others haven't come yet, there is still more than an hour before the scheduled time, don't be in such a hurry." After speaking, he smiled at Jiang Hong, Li Xue snorted, turned his head and whispered something to the other classmates.

Ma Ruoqing is Jiang Hong's high school classmate and his ex-girlfriend, in the second semester of his sophomore year, it was rumored in the school that Jiang Hong used the money he earned part-time to find a young lady, and there were also photos of entering and leaving nightclubs circulating on the campus Internet.

In fact, Jiang Hong did go to a nightclub, and Zhang Qin, who grew up with him and dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school to work, faced the difficulties of life, and did do the work of accompanying the wine after several unsatisfactory jobs, and he went there several times to persuade Zhang Qin to find a job to work. At that time, because of the depression in Jiang Hong's heart, Zhang Qin, who had always had special feelings, was angry, pitiful, and sad...... He agreed without hesitation after Ma Ruoxue proposed to break up. Now that a year has passed, they are not in the same class as Shakespeare said that they can't be friends after breaking up, at least they are still classmates, respecting each other's place in their hearts.

Today is the third year of their class to organize a week tour around Kunlun Mountain, Ma Ruoqing is one of the class cadres, but also one of the organizers, Jiang Hong in order to support her insisted on preparing for more than a month to save money, and more than a month of four part-time jobs, scraped together more than 2,000 yuan. Fortunately, it also made him take off some of his fatigue, feel a lot more energetic, and get out of the shadow of falling out of love, which is the original words of Jiang Hong's roommate.

At the appointed time at eleven o'clock, the people in the class also arrived one after another, their train number was more than 11:40, and Jiang Hong was bored walking around. Because he often goes out to work part-time, he rarely participates in the activities organized by the class, and he can't name everyone in the class for two years, and those who are as poor as him have not participated.

"Jiang Hong, what are you doing over there, why are you here so early, come over here. This was Qin Hao's rough voice, Jiang Hong didn't look back and heard this familiar voice, he knew that Qin Hao was his only friend in the class, even at school. Jiang Hong turned around and ran over quickly to have a bear hug with his majestic body, and said with a smile regardless of his image: "Why did you come now, the time is dead, you won't sleep again, I called you very early?"

"There are no things, there are many things, and you have to be ready to go far away. Qin Hao replied honestly, if he didn't know his usual temper, Jiang Hong would really be deceived by his appearance, Jiang Hong didn't say anything about him, and chatted with him, Jiang Hong knew that he had to change it early, and it was useless to talk too much.

"The K*** train to Haiqing City departs at 11:40, please take the passengers of this train into the station and wait for the ......" The station's broadcast finally sounded melodiously in the square, and more than 20 students entered the station in an orderly manner under the organization of several class cadres, Jiang Hong and Qin Hao also entered the waiting room shoulder to shoulder.

From the time Qin Hao arrived, Jiang Hong's irritable heart gradually calmed down, and he no longer dwelled on whether this decision was reasonable, and chatted with Qin Hao about some boring topics, but they chatted with relish.

Jiang Hong's ticket was bought by Qin Hao, and when he entered the carriage, he realized that they were all together, and what made Jiang Hong even more worried was that Ma Ruoqing and her sisters in the class were sitting opposite them, obviously with consecutive numbers. At this time, when he knew why Qin Hao got into the car, he saw that Ma Ruoqing would keep squeezing his eyes at him and smiling.

Jiang Hong looked at him helplessly, raised his head and squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying to Ma Ruoqing. Ma Ruoqing smiled at him softly as always, as if she didn't notice his abnormality. It's just that Li Xue next to Ma Ruoqing snorted a few times to express her dissatisfaction, Jiang Hong completely ignored her as if she didn't see it, and Li Xue didn't even turn her head to chat with Liu Jia beside her.

Qin Hao lowered his head and played with his mobile phone, ignoring the gazes around him that looked at him, just smiled and said hello one by one at the beginning. Jiang Hong hated him to death in his heart, but he was helpless in his heart. Fortunately, the train started immediately, and he and Ma Ruoqing both looked out of the window tacitly, as if they were recalling something, looking at the scenery that kept dodging backwards, Jiang Hong's heart came to the scene of going home with Ma Ruoqing in his freshman year. Jiang Hong's home is in Yunnan-Guizhou Province, and he has to take a train for more than 20 hours to go home. What a familiar scene, the difference is that there is no Jiang Hong on the side to introduce the scenery of each place to Ma Ruoqing, and there is a lack of tenderness in their eyes. Silence, silence in a world where there were only the two of them, and the noise of the chatter around them was muffled by them.

After a long time, the surrounding voices seemed to fall silent all of a sudden, and they all looked curiously at this quiet picture that was somewhat beautiful, some dusty, and some sad, as if the surrounding classmates were afraid that their voices would break the silent picture.

Suddenly, a somewhat resentful gaze pulled Jiang Hong out of this painting, Jiang Hong was naturally sensitive to other people's gazes since he was a child, especially hostile gazes. He turned his head and saw Zhou Long sitting by the other window staring at him with a dead gaze, his face was ugly like a pig's liver, but Zhou Long saw him turn around, quickly retracted his smile and looked out of the window. For Jiang Hong at this time, not only pulled him out of this beautiful picture, but also tore at his wounded heart that was about to heal, almost a year ago, the beginning of love withered like a flash in the pan, but it was the most beautiful time in his youth.

"Hahaha......" found that Jiang Hong and Ma Ruoqing turned their heads and looked at them strangely, and the classmates who were usually not very familiar with Jiang Hong also laughed unscrupulously, only Qin Hao looked at Jiang Hong and then looked at Ma Ruoqing with a lewd smile, that smile was meaningful, he was the person who was most familiar with and understood Jiang Hong's relationship with them.

Ma Ruoqing looked at their teasing helplessly, blushing and turning her head. In exchange for everyone's laughter, only Li Xue stood up and shouted with her hands crossed: "What are you laughing at, what are you laughing at, playing your cards, talking about your heavens!" Maybe she is usually used to being in the class, everyone is too lazy to provoke, and when they hear her yelling, everyone laughs and turns around and continues the original thing.

For a long time, Jiang Hong, who had been staring at Ma Ruoqing for a long time, asked weakly: "How are you doing lately?" After asking, he regretted a little and didn't follow.

"It's okay......" Ma Ruoqing replied gently and unexpectedly, but there was no follow-up, so the two began to be silent again.

After more than two hours, Jiang Hong looked at the familiar scenery outside the window and fell asleep, Li Xue picked up two decks of cards from his bag and shook them in the middle and said, "The four of us came to play cards, and we were bored to death." Then he didn't care whether others agreed or not, he shuffled the cards by himself, skillfully put them on the small table and said: "Play Shuangsheng, Qin Hao and I will beat you two." As he spoke, he pointed at Jiang Hong and Ma Ruoqing, and then Jiang Hong had to switch seats with Qin Hao and started their game.

The journey of more than 20 hours passed quietly in the time of their fun and sleep, but when they arrived in Haiqing City, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

When he got out of the car, Jiang Hong and most of the classmates had already started to talk and laugh, and it was not in vain that Jiang Hong ran errands for them, poured water, threw garbage and other trivial things for them, only Zhou Long looked at him and Ma Ruoqing laughing and talking, and kept a bitter face, green for a while and white for a while.

"I'll help you with the bag, mine isn't heavy. Jiang Hong stretched out his right hand to pick up Ma Ruoqing's travel bag, and took the bag with his left hand and took her tender white hand, what a familiar action, the two of them didn't know how many times they had repeated it during their relationship for more than a year. However, when Jiang Hong reacted, Ma Ruoqing's little hand kept shrinking towards his side, Jiang Hong had to let go of it and walked forward unnaturally, leaving Ma Ruoqing to blush and see that no one noticed before following unnaturally.

But he didn't notice that Zhou Long, who had been watching the two of them, clenched his fists tightly and stared fiercely at their backs.

A group of more than 20 people laughed and came to the booked hotel, put away their travel bags, and went out to the street in a hurry. Jiang Hong was originally born in a mountain village, so he didn't have much interest in these places, at least he wasn't so excited, so he and Qin Hao swallowed slowly, feeling exhausted all over.

When they came out, they didn't expect Ma Ruoqing to go out either, and seemed to be waiting for someone in the corridor. It didn't take long for Li Xue to change her clothes and appear in front of them. Qin Hao smiled honestly as always, Jiang Hong looked at them and asked, "Aren't you going out for a swim?"

"You are different, you are tired, you knew you wouldn't come, you went out to eat, and the things in the car were unpalatable. Ma Ruoqing moved her cherry mouth, and before she had time to say anything, Li Xue hurriedly complained. Without waiting for Jiang Hong to speak, he continued: "Do you want to go to dinner, let's go together?"

Jiang Hong nodded helplessly, and the four of them walked towards the street.
