Volume 5: Qingming Chapter 30 Arrival

Before going to bed, Jiang You told Lin Yu about going to Chucheng.

Lin Yu didn't want to go at first, but when Jiang You mentioned Duan Rui, he agreed. So Jiang You told him to pack up his luggage and have a good rest, and he didn't need to come tomorrow.

Jiang You booked a hotel room and was about to buy a plane ticket, only to find out that there was no airport in Chucheng. He turned to buy a train ticket, but it was already past 11pm and he could only check. Fortunately, there were still plenty of tickets left, so he felt relieved and fell asleep peacefully.

After getting enough sleep, I made an appointment with Chen Nan to have lunch with me and told her about my trip to Chucheng. It was only after she reminded me that I realized I hadn't bought the ticket yet, so I quickly opened 12306, checked seat selection, and paid in one go.

Fortunately, the three of us sat next to each other.

After dinner, he strolled around Jumei Plaza with Chen Nan, bought some travel supplies and a few clothes. When he was tired from shopping, he took a nap at Chen Nan's house. When it was almost three o'clock, he got up, went to the teahouse to have a cup of tea, lost two games of chess, boasted about his weight loss experience, and at the invitation of Mr. Xu, went to Mr. Xu's house for dinner. When he left, Zhang Qiu stuffed him two bags of freshly baked biscuits, saying they were for Jiang Mo. Jiang You failed to refuse, so he took them back.

When preparing to leave the next day, Jiang You stood in the middle of the yard, holding Jiang Mo in one hand and dragging the suitcase with the other. He looked at the flowers and plants in the yard and felt a little reluctant to leave.

At this time, Lin Yu came in with a big bag on his back and said, "The car is here, shall we go?"

…

More than an hour later, they boarded the train.

Jiang You held Jiang Mo and looked for a seat, while Lin Yu followed behind with the suitcase. After sitting down, Jiang You adjusted the height of the seat, then took out the deflated U-shaped pillow and cushion from his bag, pressed and inflated them, put the cushion behind his waist, and put the U-shaped pillow on his neck, then took out the noise-canceling headphones, connected his phone, and found a playlist suitable for sleeping on NetEase Cloud Music. Finally, he took out a steam eye mask and put it on his eyes, leaned back, and put his hands on his abdomen...

When the train started, Jiang You, who was sitting between Jiang Mo and Lin Yu, had fallen into a peaceful sleep.

Lin Yu looked at Jiang Mo. When he was about to say something, Jiang Mo turned around and supported his face on the windowsill with one hand. Buildings, trees, and then farmland... the scenery quickly passed by his eyes.

So Lin Yu also closed his eyes and dozed off.

"My seat is 9D. Is this car 7?"

"Okay, thank you."

Lin Yu opened his eyes. The train stopped at a platform. The carriage suddenly became noisy, with people looking for seats and putting down their luggage...

Next to him, a young man in a white sports suit stuffed his suitcase into the luggage rack and sat down in seat 9D. He put down the table on the back of the car in front of him and placed the KFC bag and Jiuzhen juice cup in his hand on it.

He reached into the bag and pulled out a box of hamburgers...

The fragrance spread.

Jiang You's nose moved. He raised his hand to take off the blindfold, removed the earplugs, put on his glasses, and saw the young man taking a big bite of the hamburger and sipping juice.

"Where are we?" Jiang You asked.

"We'll get to Shui'an in about two hours." Lin Yu answered him.

"There are still two hours left." Jiang You looked out the window. The sky was a little gloomy. He asked Jiang Mo, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Jiang Mo shook his head.

"The dining car is in carriage No. 5." Lin Yu said.

"Two hours is almost up. Let's have a good meal in Chucheng." Jiang You took out a bottle of Coke from his bag and drank a few sips before saying, "I really fell asleep just now. I had a dream."

Lin Yu asked: "What dream?"

"I dreamed that I was in a very desolate place, there was a training camp, I was in it, I had to run ten kilometers every day," Jiang You looked at Lin Yu, "while I was running, there were many monsters chasing me, they were weird and ugly, I could only run, run and run, and then I woke up, what do you think this dream means?"

"I have no idea."

"Maybe I've been under too much pressure lately." Jiang You put the Coke bottle back into his bag.

The young man in seat 9D finished his hamburger and started eating chicken wings.

Lin Yu said tentatively: "If you don't want to lose weight..."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I really want to lose some weight, at least another five kilograms." Jiang You reached behind him and adjusted the position of the cushion to make himself more comfortable. "Maybe it's because I read an online novel yesterday. The protagonist in it was very hard-working. He kept beating this boss and that boss. He lost millions and changed several maps, but the protagonist never had a break." Jiang You took out his mobile phone and found the novel from the bookshelf. "But it's well written. I'll share it with you. Hey, the author is also very hardworking. He has updated three chapters today, and it's another 10,000 chapters."

"Let me see," Lin Yu also took out his phone, "How did they come up with a plot of millions of words? It's amazing."

"There is a routine." The voice of the young man who was eating French fries and drinking juice interrupted.

Jiang You and Lin Yu looked at him at the same time.

The young man smiled and said, "I also like to read online articles. I have even written one."

"Great, great." Jiang You said.

"I uploaded only three chapters. A few months later, I checked and found that the website asked me to sign a contract. I didn't even remember what I wrote, so I didn't sign."

"What a pity." Jiang You said regretfully.

"Hey, I'm just writing this for fun. Are you guys going to Chu City too?"

"Yeah, are you going too?" Lin Yu asked.

"Yes, I have a friend in Chucheng, I'm going to visit him," the young man finished his fries and wiped his hands with a tissue, "It's a pity for Chucheng, the city planning is not good, and the positioning is not accurate. Jiujin Mountain can be developed well and apply for a 5A scenic spot. Now there is a high-speed rail station, and transportation is not a problem, but I don't know what they are thinking..."

"I'm going to the bathroom." Lin Yu whispered to Jiang You, then he stood up and walked forward.

The young man paused for a moment. He looked at Lin Yu's back and asked Jiang You, "Is he a professional bodybuilder?"

“It’s a fitness trainer.”

"No wonder he has such a good figure." He saw Jiang Mo sitting by the window, looking down at his phone, and asked, "Is this your son?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

“I think he’s pretty good.”

Jiang Mo looked up at the young man, then lowered his head and continued playing with his phone.

"I have a nephew who is about the same age as him. He is just like a devil..."

"Are you studying now, are you a student?" Jiang You asked.

"No, no, no, I've been working for several years. I have a baby face and look young."

"Would you like to take the annual leave to go out and play?"

"I guess I'm here to work. I have an inspection mission..."
