a quarter of his

They took a traveling express train starting with the letter K, with hard seats, and Liu Dong deliberately chose consecutive numbers when buying tickets.

Four people sat across from each other, and the remaining two people sat on the other side of the aisle, also next to each other.

There were only two girls in the team, so Liu Dong organized four big boys to carry the luggage to the luggage rack.Lin Jingfan was worried that Xiang Tian was in a bad mood, so he asked Liu Dong for a ticket for two people to sit with her.

The train moved slowly, and the spring sun was shining brightly. The train journey lasted eight hours.

Depart at [-]:[-] and arrive at the station at [-]:[-] p.m. After staying for one night, take the bus to the school to meet local volunteers.

"Come, come, let's play cards." As soon as they sat down, Liu Dong pulled out two brand new poker cards from his bag as if by magic.

"I'll go, team leader, you are quite well prepared." Lin Jingfan looked at them with a smile.

"That's not it." Liu Dong is very handsome, and his eyebrows twitched when he spoke, with a hearty feeling, "Brother Dong, I am the necessary little Ding Dong for home travel, come and tell me, believe in Brother Dong, and you will have eternal life. "

"Brother Xin Dong, get eternal life," Dong Yimo whistled, and several people laughed.

"What are you playing?" Wang Yan took apart the two decks of cards, put the plastic wrap away and threw them in the trash can under the small table.

"Will anyone stare blankly? Six people can play. If you lose, drink apple cider vinegar."

"Success", Zhang Zhao said, "It's easy to stare blankly, if you don't know how to do it, just play two rounds and you'll be fine."

"Jingfan, do you two play together?" Liu Dong greeted Lin Jingfan, "Six people squeezed together and sat down."

Lin Jingfan pointed at Tian, ​​meaning I will accompany her, you guys play first.

Liu Dong knew that Xiang Tian was in a bad mood, so he didn't force it, and said, "If there are four of us, why don't we just play upgrades, will anyone come?"

"Yes," Dong Yimo said, "Brother Zhao doesn't know how to fight, you can be your opponent with Wang Yan and let her take care of you."

"Yo, I can't tell that Wang Yan is so powerful." Liu Dong half-jokingly stood up and said, "You two knew each other before?"

The two changed positions, Wang Yan and Liu Dong faced each other, Dong Yimo sat next to Zhang Zhao, and the two sitting diagonally were opposite each other.

Wang Yan pursed the corners of her lips lightly, and shuffled the cards skillfully: "We are classmates in high school."

"No wonder you two seemed like a couple when we got together." Liu Dong took out a few paper cups from his bag, put them out, poured a cup of apple cider vinegar for one person, and passed two cups to Lin Jingfan and the others.

"Haha Brother Dong, you guessed wrong, we are really not a couple," Dong Yimo said, "But people have always said that we are a couple since high school, I can't wait for this little girl to be kidnapped by some big pig's hoof .”

Liu Dong glanced at Wang Yan with a half-smile, and the eyes of the two separated immediately.

Wang Yan's face turned red, and she threw the cards on the table angrily, "Stop your head, do you still want to play?"

Dong Yimo hurriedly said, "Just for fun, just kidding."

The train is rumbling forward, and the speed of the K-shaped train is very slow, allowing people to enjoy the boundless spring scenery along the road.

The train passed the outskirts of City C, and the continuous wheat fields were connected to the end of the sky like green waves one after another.The sky was clean without any impurities, and the sun was pouring down, coating everything around it with a layer of gold.

The sunshine in spring always brings people a good mood. Holding her chin, Xiang Tian looked at the cities and villages, wheat fields and sunshine passing by along the road, and finally eased her mood.

"Win, win, upgrade two levels in a row." Zhang Zhao's excited voice came from across the corridor.

"I'll go, Wang Yan, you are too amazing." Liu Dong's unbelievable voice.

"Fanzi, go and play with them, you don't need to accompany me." Xiang Tian turned to look at him, her eyes were not as red as before.

"It's okay." Lin Jingfan looked at her worriedly, hesitated to speak for a while, "Brother Jiang Tao, he, you two this time will not be because of me... right?"

Xiang Tian was taken aback by the question at first, then laughed and said, "Of course not, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh", Lin Jingfan scratched his head, "I just think Brother Jiang seems to mind that we get too close..."

"What right does he have to care about our relationship?" When this incident was mentioned, Xiang Tian's face that had just recovered immediately turned cold again, "Take care of yourself first."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jingfan immediately realized that the matter was not simple, Xiang Tian took a deep breath, and explained the whole story to him.

The reason was because of a date. March 3 was the 16-day anniversary of their relationship, and they made an appointment a few days in advance to go out for a day.

As a result, one of Jiang Tao's projects had a problem that day, and he had been busy in the laboratory, so he released Xiang Tian's pigeon without even saying a word.

Xiang Tian waited at the north gate for almost an hour, and only after calling did she find out that she couldn't go.

"It's nothing," Xiang Tian said, "I can understand the investment in the experiment, and I can make up for it at another time, but..."

But the day the two agreed to make up has not yet arrived. When Xiang Tian was shopping for a list of going out last night, she accidentally found Jiang Tao eating alone with a girl at the North Gate.

Lin Jingfan: "!!!"

Xiang Tian: "I don't reject him having a good female friend, like the two of us. But if we are together, why can't you tell me? I also gave him a chance to ask who he had dinner with, He said that he was with the people in the laboratory, isn't this a ghost or something?"

Lin Jingfan: "..."

Lin Jingfan only felt that he had touched a field that he had never been involved in, and his heart was complicated and unspeakable. Xiang Tian felt aggrieved while talking, and his eyes were red.

Lin Jingfan knows that she really likes Jiang Tao, and has always been concerned about their future, and he is usually willing to be the one who gives a lot.

He couldn't help being a little angry, such a good girl, why didn't Jiang Tao's big pig's hooves know how to cherish, and he was willing to make her sad.

But thinking about it, he would never dare to say that, just because Xiang Tian still likes Jiang Tao, he can't add fuel to the fire.

"Did you listen to his explanation?" Lin Jingfan asked.

Without even thinking about it, Xiang Tian said, "Seeing is believing. There is nothing to explain. I called him in the morning and said we broke up."

Lin Jingfan: "..."

No wonder the atmosphere was so heavy just now.

"Well, actually," Lin Jingfan said, "I think it's really difficult for people to understand each other."

Xiang Tian looked up at him.

"After all, we are all independent individuals, so no matter what happens, we must follow our own ideas immediately. I think you should listen to Brother Jiang Tao's explanation, maybe he really has a reason. "

"Is there a reason to lie to me?"

"What if he wants to surprise you."

Xiang Tian's expression was a little loose, Lin Jingfan said: "Call him and ask him, the most hurtful thing in this world is often not a deception, but a misunderstanding."

This sentence completely dispelled Xiang Tianxin's defense. She took the mobile phone and clicked on the familiar number.

"Let's fight," Lin Jingfan said.

"Let's fight," said the aunt on the other side.

Lin Jingfan: "..."

Xiang Tian: "..."

Only then did Lin Jingfan realize that there were two aunts sitting across from them, who had been listening to their conversation just now, and suddenly black lines appeared on his face.

"The young man is quite right." The aunt opposite Lin Jingfan said, "Give the boy a chance."

"I think the boy next to him is not bad. He is educated and reasonable. Would you like an apple?" said the aunt opposite to Tian, ​​and took out a large plastic bag from under the seat, which was full of apples. .

"No...no, thank you, Auntie."

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely strange, Lin Jingfan was almost embarrassed to death, but the aunt was very enthusiastic, and couldn't help but take out four apples and put them on the small table, "You're welcome, you're welcome, just treat it as a favor for auntie, bring Too much to eat."

The two refused several times, but couldn't stand the aunt's enthusiasm, Lin Jingfan said helplessly: "That's fine, Auntie, you can sit here, I'll wash it for us."

As he spoke, he picked up four apples and walked towards the sink.

The aunt stuffed the remaining apples back into the big travel bag under the seat, and seeing Xiang Tian staring blankly at the phone screen, she couldn't help saying:

"You young people are very temperamental. When you are angry, you should be angry. After you are angry, you still have to explain the matter clearly. You can't really stay together, don't you think so?"

Xiang Tian nodded with red eyes, thought for a while, and turned on her phone to send Jiang Tao a WeChat message.

"Is that right?" The aunt opposite Lin Jingfan nodded and asked again, "Where is the little girl going?"

Xiang Tian answered Gansu, and the three of them chatted casually. When the aunt heard that they were going to support education, she immediately stood up in awe, which made Xiang Tian very embarrassed.

After a while, Lin Jingfan came back, and the aunt pulled them and praised again, and they both had a big blush.

"Senior Brother Jiang Tao?" Lin Jingfan asked casually while peeling the apple.

Xiang Tian nodded embarrassedly.

"Do you know you misunderstood him?" Lin Jingfan handed him the peeled apple.

Xiang Tian sighed and said, "Oh, Fanzi, it would be great if you were my boyfriend."

Lin Jingfan: "...Are you deliberately trying to provoke me, a single dog?"

"Who! Who is single?" Liu Dong said while playing an ace of hearts, "I'm looking for Brother Dong to introduce you. Come, do you want a girl or a man?"

The crowd laughed.

Lin Jingfan said: "You play your cards well."

The train got out of the tunnel, and the overwhelming sunlight came in from the window.

The next table was still upgrading, bursts of laughter came, Xiang Tian and Jiang Tao couldn't stop chatting at the beginning, Lin Jingfan went to the other side of the aisle to watch them upgrade.

"Do you want Fanzi?" Zhang Zhao said, "Change to me."

"No, let's see you fight."

Dong Yimo gave way inside, Lin Jingfan sat down, and the three big boys huddled together, chatting while playing cards.

"Brother Zhao", Liu Dong and Dong Yimo lost again, drank a cup of apple cider vinegar, and asked, "I'm really curious, what's in your box, I've never seen a 26-inch box that can If it is so heavy, is it filled with lead weights?"

"It's nothing, just some books and school supplies."

"Why didn't you send these?" Lin Jingfan was curious.

Zhang Zhaodao: "I've checked, the place we're going to is quite out of the way, and the courier probably won't go there."

Lin Jingfan nodded, originally wanted to say that these things can also be bought locally in Gansu, Zhang Zhao spoke again.

"My family used to be in a remote place in Sichuan. Later, a group of supporting teachers came and brought us a box of books. That was the first time I saw a novel."

The table was quiet for a while, and this was the first time Zhang Zhao talked about his family affairs.

Lin Jingfan was surprised at the beginning that Zhang Zhao didn't even take part in club activities, so he would take the initiative to participate in this teaching support, so it was because of this.

Lin Jingfan also came from the countryside. Although his county was classified as a poor county, he had never experienced the hard life like Zhang Zhao's without even reading a book.

When I was young, the bookstore in the town rented a book for [-] cents a day. Wei Yang once rented a book called "How to Make a Bad Guy", and read it without sleep for a whole week.After reading it, I always felt that I could be a mafia boss, and almost went to learn how to get tattoos, but Lin Jingfan himself didn't like reading books by nature.

However, Zhang Zhao's behavior made Lin Jingfan know a completely different him.

Liu Dong nodded understandingly: "So you benefited from the teaching support back then, and now you want to repay it back."

Zhang Zhao: "It's not that noble anymore, I just think the novel is pretty good, and I want the children in the mountainous area to experience this kind of happiness."

Everyone: "..."

"No, Brother Zhao, what was the first novel you read?" Dong Yimo asked.

Zhang Zhao: "The Minimal Story"

Everyone: "..."

"This is too cheating!" Dong Yimo screamed, "The one you brought is also..."

"Of course not. I was young then, how dare I do it now."

Only then did everyone feel relieved and began to chat about their families.

It was only then that Lin Jingfan discovered that, except for Xiang Tian and Dong Yimo, whose family background was very good, the other four were from ordinary families.

Liu Dong also entered C University from the countryside, and Wang Yan's parents worked in a power plant in Linshi, C City.

However, everyone is a gentleman's friend, open and frank, doesn't mind each other's background at all, and has the same three views.This made Lin Jingfan feel that the friends he met this time as a teaching supporter might be friends for life.

Xiang Tian and Jiang Tao came over and sat next to Wang Yan when they were tired of crooked.Six people squeezed into the seats for four people, staring blankly in exchange for fun.

The energy of the young people seems to be boundless. The aunt on the opposite side sleeps and wakes up and sleeps again. Every time she opens her eyes, she can still see a group of teenagers clamoring together.

Maybe people who are in their youth are too beautiful, even if they are noisy, no one is willing to stop the vitality.

The six of them stared at each other and played with the bamboo poles until the sun turned from the right side of the train to the left side of the train, and when they arrived at Lanzhou Station with an hour left, Liu Dong finally called a stop.

"It's still an hour away. Hurry up and take a rest. I'll go to the hotel later. I have to walk for a long time with the suitcase."

Several people sat back sparsely, Wang Yan pulled Xiang Tian to sit where Lin Jingfan had just sat.

Lin Jingfan sat next to Liu Dong, and they leaned against the back seat and closed their eyes to rest.

The phone suddenly "ding dong", and a message popped up.

"Gigi loves fish": Are you on the train?

"One Leaf Boat": Well, how do you know I haven't arrived yet?

There was a moment of silence on the other side, the phone suddenly rang a dozen times, and "Jiji" sent over a dozen photos in one breath.

Lin Jingfan clicked on a picture and found that it was a screenshot showing the distance between the two on blued.

"Jiji loves fish": Because you are getting farther and farther away from me.

The author has something to say: Haha this is the third time I have been teased by Ying Jiji~

I still love you today~
