The day of the competition has finally arrived.

In October, on a crisp Saturday morning, Xu Zhe put on his schoolbag, took a taxi with his parents to the passenger station, and then stepped on the shuttle bus to the provincial capital alone.

The bag contains a laptop, a mobile phone and a charger for the computer, and a homemade knowledge booklet to print...... and a change of panties and socks.

Because the exam is in the afternoon, if you want to rush home after the exam, you have to take the night bus, or it is a long distance, which is a bit exciting to think about. Xu Zhe has long been able to overcome the psychological shadow and take a long-distance bus alone, but the night train is still a bit beyond his acceptance.

As soon as he got in the car, Xu Zhe buckled his seat belt, and then habitually took out his mobile phone.

In the first two years, when he didn't have a smart phone in his hand, he had to suppress the habit of taking out his mobile phone to look at it at any time, but now, he doesn't have to suppress it. Even in the early days, there are many things that can be done.

Lighting up the screen, he saw a new message from Shen Lan:

【Are you going?】 The hotel is already booked. Because the exam room is far away from our school, I also have to stay in a hotel. I booked two rooms and we could talk after the exam. 】

Xu Zhe thought for a while and replied: [No problem. 】

Then Shen Lan sent another one: [I'll take you to lunch later, and after the exam, we can go shopping in the snack street.] I finally came to the provincial capital, and I can play tonight and tomorrow morning, so I think it is a tour. 】

Xu Zhe: [You think so thoughtfully, that's good.] 】

Shen Lan: [I've been eating the food you cooked during the summer vacation, and now it's my turn to arrange it.] 】

Xu Zhe smiled, put away his phone, and looked out the car window.

The sun was shining outside, and even his mood was very comfortable.

When the bus arrived at the provincial passenger station, it was already noon.

Xu Zhe got off the bus, followed the flow of people to the gate of the passenger station, and heard Shen Lan's voice behind him: "Wait a minute! ”

When he turned around, he saw Shen Lan hurrying towards him.

It's not a hot summer vacation anymore, and as the weather gets cooler, it's natural to wear thicker clothes. However, Shen Lan was wearing a short skirt today, and the skirt was filled with black leggings, which were warm enough and enough to show off her increasingly slender legs.

The light-colored sweatshirt on her upper body is looser, which reminds Xu Zhe of the dressing concept he heard from Aunt Li Caixia - it is best not to be loose or tight from top to bottom, loose tops should be worn with a narrow lower body, and tight tops should be paired with loose skirts or pants. Of course, Shen Lan didn't know Song Xingye's mother, but some aesthetic concepts could coincide.

Xu Zhe felt that the senior sister standing in front of her with a slightly red face was really good-looking.

Shen Lan smiled slightly: "I'll take you to lunch." There is nothing good to eat near the station, and I know of a beef noodle shop that is affordable and delicious. ”

Xu Zhe: "Then let's go, take a taxi?" ”

Shen Lan shook her head: "Take the bus, I have coins here." The taxi at the station is a bit dark, so it's best not to sit on it, so as not to let people rip off customers. ”

Seeing that she had thought it through, Xu Zhe naturally listened to her arrangement.

There are still seats available on that bus. The two sat in the back seat together, and after a while, the car started.

In the gently swaying carriage, Shen Lan suddenly took out MP3 and a pair of headphones, and asked, "Do you want to listen to music?" ”

Xu Zhe took a pair of headphones: "What kind of music?" ”

Shen Lan had already put on the other one: "You can just listen to it." ”

Xu Zhe also put on the headphones and heard the soft piano and violin ensemble.

Shen Lan said softly: "I like to listen to some pure music, I feel quite relaxed, what about you?" ”

Xu Zhe: "I also like pure music. ”

Shen Lan tilted her head: "Then our preferences, are they a little similar?" ”

Xu Zhe: "I don't like spicy food that much. ”

Shen Lan smiled and patted his thigh. It's a common move, like a fight between friends. And Xu Zhecai reacted that he seemed to be used to this mode of getting along.

And, it seems quite comfortable?

The beef noodles at noon were indeed as Shen Lan said, the taste and portion were satisfactory, especially after Xu Zhe spent money to add a piece of beef.

After eating this simple lunch, the two took a car to the vicinity of the examination hall and found a booked hotel.

At the time of arrival, the hotel room had just been cleaned up, just in time for guests to stay. So Shen Lan and Xu Zhe entered their respective rooms, so that they could close their eyes and recuperate in a quiet environment. When I'm ready to take the entrance exam, I'll probably be almost recharged.

This part of the itinerary was still planned by Shen Lan.

Xu Zhe put down his schoolbag and lay down on the bed, unable to help but feel a little sleepy.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Zhe opened the door, and sure enough, it was Shen Lan.

The short-haired senior sister smiled: "I have an alarm clock set on my phone, but it is difficult for me to wake up as soon as I fall asleep, and the alarm clock sometimes does not work." If you just take a nap and oversleep, then it's a big problem. ”

Xu Zhe: "So you want to take a nap with me?" ”

Shen Lan: "Do you think it's okay?" ”

Xu Zhe nodded, and at the same time, he suddenly realized that this seemed to be part of the senior sister's arrangement.

The hotel room she booked was a single room with only one bed. Therefore, the two naturally have to lie on the same bed.

But after lying down, Xu Zhe woke up.

Lying in bed with a girl is really the first time in his life for him.

The room was quiet for a long time.

Suddenly, Shen Lan said softly, "I can't sleep a little. ”

Xu Zhe: "I'm ...... too"

Shen Lan: "It's okay, I'll buy a cup of coffee or Red Bull later before entering the exam room, what do you think?" ”

Xu Zhe: "I think it's feasible. I have to say, you think quite thoughtfully. ”

Shen Lan laughed: "Haha, it's not bad, right?" After the exam, I'll take you to the snack street to find something delicious, and it will be even better when the time comes. ”

Xu Zhe: "You've been in the provincial capital for a year, right?" Do you often go out shopping and find good food? ”

Shen Lan was silent for a moment, and said leisurely, "What is there to visit alone?" Also, I'm not the type of person who likes to go shopping. In the past, many female classmates in the class liked to go shopping, and they also called me. But I went once and didn't want to go again. ”

Xu Zhe: "Don't like to socialize? ”

Shen Lan suddenly turned her face sideways to stare at him and said, "I don't like to socialize with mediocre and boring people." ”

Xu Zhe felt the girl's gaze, and also turned his face to look at her.

At this time, the two did not have any physical contact, but because they were lying on the same bed, it seemed to bring a little different throbbing.

Shen Lan's hand snapped, and there was only a glimmer left from his hand.
