In the semi-finals in early March, Chen Jiayu took a week off and bought a high-speed rail ticket to Shencheng in advance.

The night before departure.

Ruan Xiulian packed her luggage with him.

It takes nearly a week to make the round trip, so even though it's been minimized, there's still a lot to bring.

A medium-sized trolley case with a variety of clothes, a spare pair of sneakers, razors, toiletries, etc. In addition to the trolley suitcase, there is also a backpack for items that need to be accessed, such as mobile phone power banks, various documents, rolling paper, water bottles, etc.

"ID card, student ID, and ...... Did you bring all the notification letters for that competition?" Ruan Xiulian asked.

"Bring it all." Chen Jiayu said.

"Did you bring a phone charger?"

"I brought it too."

"Oh yes, bring some cash." Ruan Xiulian thought of something, took out a thousand yuan from her bag, stuffed it into the inner layer of Chen Jiayu's backpack, and said while stuffing it back, "It's very convenient to pay by mobile phone now, but if you don't have cash, it will be troublesome when you can't pay, so it's better to bring some cash when you go out...... I've put the money in the innermost pocket, take a look, don't find it when you need it."

Chen Jiayu took a quick look as he sorted out the box, "I know."

Ruan Xiulian closed the zipper where the money was placed, then looked at him, sighed with relief and a little worry, and told in a rambling voice: "Your sister still needs someone to take care of her, so my mother can't accompany you to Shencheng, the first time you go out alone, you must be careful, don't be greedy for any small gains, there are many liars outside." Also, don't lose it, remember to charge your phone more, keep in touch, and ......call your mother in time if there is anything."

Chen Jiayu closed the lid of the trolley case and locked it firmly: "Okay, I know."

"Hey, I really want to go to Shencheng to play~~" Chen Yuzao on the side looked full of envy, and suddenly thought, "Brother, otherwise I will also take a few days off, can you take me with you?"

In the next second, he was ruthlessly knocked by Ruan Xiulian.

"Play and play, you know how to play all day long, your brother is going to play, not playing." She scolded her daughter.

"Many of my classmates often travel to other places, and I have never been to Dalian Province since I was a child." Chen Yuzao covered his head and muttered, "I'm so pitiful."

She knew the economic conditions of her family, so she never asked for this, but every time she heard her classmates mention where to travel, she inevitably felt a little lost in her heart.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Ruan Xiulian sighed in her heart.

"That's it, after you take the high school entrance examination, your brother's college entrance examination will be over, and our family will go on a trip."

"Really?" Chen Yuzao was extremely excited.

"You have to get into high school first!"

"Okay, I'll try!"

……

By the time Chen Jiayu packed up his things, it was nearly eleven o'clock.

Ruan Xiulian and Chen Yuzao both went back to the room, Chen Jiayu also lay on his bed, he did not sleep immediately, but picked up his mobile phone, dialed Cai Jiayi's phone, and chatted with her.

"I've packed my things."

….

"Well, what time is the car tomorrow?"

"Depart at eleven forty in the morning and arrive at Shencheng at about half past five in the afternoon."

"What about the hotel, have you booked it?"

"It's ordered, it's the season, and it's pretty easy to book. I'll call you again when I get there."

"Okay." Cai Jiayi suddenly laughed meaningfully, "By the way, I've heard that there are a lot of beauties in Shencheng."

Chen Jiayu thought for a while and said, "It's really okay."

After all, it is a metropolis second only to Yanjing, and girls will dress up and make up more delicately and tastefully, and the probability of beautiful women appearing is higher than in ordinary places.

"......," Cai Jiayi snorted lightly, "Then you have to seize the opportunity, and go outside for a walk if you have nothing to do, maybe."

It's going to happen after a romantic encounter."

Tsk, why is there such a sour taste in this?

Chen Jiayu's tone was pleasantly surprised: "Is it okay?"

Cai Jiayi: "......"

As soon as the conversation changed, Chen Jiayu said regretfully, "Alas, I thought about it, so forget it."

Cai Jiayi: "Why?"

Chen Jiayu sighed: "After all, my brother is a family person, so he can't be too casual."

Cai Jiayi snorted and laughed.

"Well~~~ You're obedient, it's good to have this consciousness, remember, boys go out alone, you must learn to protect yourself, clean yourself and love yourself, don't mess with flowers and grass, remember?"

Chen Jiayu is serious: "Keep it in mind and never forget."

Cai Jiayi's crisp laughter came.

The two chatted for a while before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

Before going to bed, Chen Jiayu took his mobile phone and set a photo with Cai Jiayi as a wallpaper.

That way, as long as he looks at his phone, he can see her.

……

At noon the next day, eleven o'clock.

High-speed rail station.

After checking in and getting on the bus, it took two minutes for Chen Jiayu to find his seat.

Car 16, 9F.

It's a double seater, and he's in the window seat.

Chen Jiayu put the luggage on the overhead rack, sat down, and took out the book from his bag.

After turning two pages, he felt that the sun was dazzling and it was not suitable for reading, so Chen Jiayu leaned back on the back of his chair.

He chatted with Cai Jiayi quite late last night, and tossed for a long time from home to the high-speed rail station, and now he is a little tired.

Cover your face with a book, close your eyes and pretend to sleep.

Here is @

and until the train closes, the other seat is still empty.

With the sound of the announcement, the scene outside the window began to move backwards, moving from slow to fast, obviously the train was speeding up, but the whole process was very smooth, and the person sat in the carriage without the slightest feeling.

A few minutes later, on the display at the top of the front of the carriage, the speed given was already 200 kilometers per hour.

At this time, the girl took out a bottle of pure water from her bag and twisted it a few times, but did not unscrew it.

She looked at Chen Jiayu, her innocent little face showed a slight surprise, and she said softly, "Excuse me...... Can you help me twist it?"

Chen Jiayu took the bottle, unscrewed it with a snap, covered it again, and put it on the table.

"Thank you." The girl smiled again, picked up the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and drank it in small sips, after two sips, she screwed the bottle cap back, brushed her hair, and asked casually, "By the way, are you also going to Shencheng?"

Chen Jiayu nodded.

At this time, the flight attendant came over and began to check the passengers' ID cards.

Chen Jiayu took his ID card from his bag and accidentally brought out his student ID.

The girl just caught a glimpse and her eyes widened, "Hey, are you a student at Hanchu City Experimental High School?"

Chen Jiayu: "Hmm." With a bang, he put his student ID card back.

"I'm in the eighth middle school, and I'm going to go to Shencheng to participate in an essay competition." After she finished speaking, she asked with a little curiosity, "By the way, did you also go to Shencheng because of the essay competition?"

Chen Jiayu: "Yes."

"Ah, what a coincidence." The girl was surprised.

The glasses boy on the opposite side has been peeking at her intentionally or unintentionally since he got into the car, and when he heard her words, he immediately took over the conversation and said positively, "It's really too coincidental, I also went to Shencheng to participate in the essay competition."

"Really?" The girl was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "It's really a coincidence."

….

The boy with glasses said enthusiastically, "I'm from No. 2 Middle School, my name is Jiang Jing, what about you?"

"My name is Guo Shitong, Guo Jia's Guo of the Three Kingdoms, Tang Shi's poems, Tong is a child with three points of water and a child."

The girl turned her gaze to Chen Jiayu and asked with a smile, "Classmate, what about you?"

"Chen Jiayu."

Jiang Jing lifted his glasses and guessed, "Is it the Jiayu from the poem "Xiaoya Nanyou Jiayu"?"

Chen Jiayu nodded, "Yes."

"You're so good, you can think of the Book of Poetry at once." Guo Shitong's eyebrows were crooked, and he looked at Jiang Jing with a smile.

"It's too famous, I just read this one by chance." Jiang Jing was modest, but there was a bit of smugness in his eyes.

Guo Shitong smiled lightly and said, "I heard that in our city's high schools, there are only eight people in total who have entered the semifinals. The fact that the three of us were able to meet in the same train, in the same carriage, and even so close to each other can be regarded as a kind of fate."

Jiang Jing hurriedly responded: "Yes, it's indeed very fateful, otherwise, the three of us will be friends with each other, right?"

Although this sentence was said to Chen Jiayu and Guo Shitong, his eyes were always looking at Guo Shitong.

Obviously, the drunkard does not mean to drink.

"Okay." Guo Shitong nodded generously, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and exchanged it with Jiang Jing, then she looked at Chen Jiayu and said with a smile, "Let's add some too, right?"

Jiang Jing said, "Yes, we'll add one too."

Chen Jiayu couldn't refuse, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and turned the screen up.

Guo Shitong looked over, and in the next second, the screen of the mobile phone lit up, and the background above was immediately exposed in her eyes without any cover, which made her stunned for a moment.

It was a group photo.

The boy is Chen Jiayu, and she naturally doesn't know the girl, but she can see that she is very beautiful, not the kind of top beauty with standard facial features, but her smile is so bright and vivid that she is a little ashamed of herself.

The two looked intimate, and they looked like an indescribable match.

pick up

, Chen Jiayu slid twice, unlocked the screen lock, and a similar group photo wallpaper appeared on the home screen.

Guo Shitong blinked and asked casually, "Hey, the girl on your phone wallpaper is so beautiful, who is she?"

"My girlfriend." Chen Jiayu looked at the group photo and couldn't help curling the corners of his lips.

"Oh......"

"You have a girlfriend?" Jiang Jing stretched his neck curiously and looked at it, and immediately said, "It's so beautiful!"

Guo Shitong looked at Chen Jiayu's expression and asked, "You use her photo as a mobile phone wallpaper, you must like her very much, right?"

Chen Jiayu smiled and opened, "Okay, add it."

Both of them exchanged with Chen Jiayu.

Chen Jiayu put away his phone.

"Your girlfriend is so happy." Guo Shitong muttered with envy, and asked, "Are you classmates?"

Chen Jiayu said, "Yes."

Guo Shitong said as if jokingly, "Alas, excellent boys have girlfriends so soon. It's a pity that I'm too shy, even if I meet a good boy, I don't dare to take the initiative."

Jiang Jing immediately said, "I think you're also very good, very good."

….

"Really?" Guo Shitong opened his big eyes, and his expression was a little shy.

Jiang Jing hurriedly said, "Really."

"Actually, I'm stupid, today is the first time I've gone out alone, and I almost can't catch the car." Guo Shitong said a little embarrassed.

"It's the first time, that's normal." Jiang Jing thought of something and asked, "You are a girl, why did the family let you go out alone and not accompany you?"

"My family sent me to the high-speed rail station because my family has relatives in Shencheng, and they will come to Shencheng Station to pick me up later, and I have been to Shencheng several times, so I know me very well."

"Oh, I see...... That'll do."

Along the way, the two of them talked happily with each other, as if they were old at first sight.

……

"Huh? Is that bookstore near my house? I've lived there for years, and I don't even know ......."

"Yes, I bought a copy of Yasunari Kawabata's collection at that store."

"Yasunari Kawabata? His "Snow Country" is very well written, but I prefer Haruki Murakami."

"Haruki Murakami I also like it, but my favorite is "The Three-Body Problem", have you seen it?"

"The Three-Body Problem? It's famous, but I haven't had time to see it."

"Oh, yes, it's sci-fi, you girls might not be that interested."

"Why, I like science fiction too, why don't you tell me about it."

"Okay, I'll give you a rough outline......

Chen Jiayu didn't join the conversation, just flipped through the book, but occasionally glanced at them halfway.

I saw Jiang Jing talking eloquently, while Guo Shitong listened, his eyes widened slightly, his eyes were full of stupidity and sweetness, as if to say, "I haven't heard what you said at all, it's very profound, I don't seem to understand it, but I feel that you are very powerful!"

Then, he gradually transitioned from silly white sweetness to surprise and worship, and then combined with a smile that tilted his head, as if to say, "What you said is very interesting and powerful, and I appreciate it very much." Occasionally, thoughtfully, occasionally with a slight sudden realization, and occasionally with a sincere sigh, but all of them only lasted for a short second or two, and then they were immediately withdrawn and continued to listen carefully.

This Guo Shitong's performance made Chen Jiayu feel a little familiar inexplicably, as if he had seen it somewhere.

By the way, it seems that it is the same source of tea as his girlfriend, but the tea taste on the other party is more obvious, and it is more deliberate and contrived.

In addition, there is one biggest difference between Cai Jiayi and her.

From the first time

From the beginning of the meeting, Cai Jiayi's target was only him.

Is this Guo Shitong...... It's hard to say.

……

At half past five in the afternoon, the car arrived at the end point, Shencheng Station.

During the Warring States period, it was the fiefdom of Chun Shen Jun, so it was also called Shen.

After the car stopped, Jiang Jing took the initiative to help Guo Shitong take off the suitcase.

The passengers got off the train one after another, and the three of them also followed out of the platform.

Guo Shitong had relatives who came to pick her up, and said goodbye to the two of them with a smile and left.

….

Jiang Jing and Chen Jiayu walked to the taxi pick-up and drop-off point outside. The hotel where the two stayed was not in the same location and separated, Jiang Jing took a taxi, and Chen Jiayu went to the subway station according to the route checked in advance, and called Ruan Xiulian on the way to report that he was safe.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the hotel he had booked.

This hotel is 4 star and has a good online reputation. Although the house price is relatively high, because it is the recent tourist season, there will be a good price-performance special room every day. Chen Jiayu has booked several times, and I feel okay, so I also booked a big bed room this time.

After completing the formalities and getting the room card, Chen Jiayu entered the room, and after taking the room card *** to the power slot, the lights in the room automatically turned on, and the central air conditioning also began to operate.

The location of this room is not bad, high-rise, large floor-to-ceiling windows, a wide view, you can see the surging river in the distance.

On both sides of the river, there are rows of high-rise buildings, bright and brilliant lights are reflected in the river, reflecting the river water is also a magnificent color, not far away, there is an ancient bell tower, which is mixed with the surrounding highly modern buildings, but it does not appear abrupt, but unexpected harmony.

This is a city with both young and modern vitality and rich historical accumulation.

At half past six, Chen Jiayu found a snack bar near the hotel and ordered a set meal, including a fried bun, a cup of soy milk, and a fried dough stick.

He hadn't eaten lunch when he got into the car, and he was already hungry.

Halfway through eating, a message suddenly came.

It's Guo Shitong.

"Mr. Chen, have you eaten dinner? By the way, I've been to Shencheng several times, and I'm very familiar with it. If you want to know where to eat and play in Shencheng, I can help you be your guide."

Chen Jiayu removed her from the list.

I'm on fire this year
