Chapter 2: An affair on the high-speed rail

By Mason Vale · 1770 words

Maybe it was a sixth sense. Kai Wei didn't think about it any more.

Low-key, the whole situation had group-chat disaster written all over it.

The Lao Peng on Kai Wei's phone call, whose name is Guo Ethan Yi and whose nickname is Ethan Yi, is his neighbor. He is one year younger than Kai Wei. The two of them have been playing together since childhood. It can be said that they talk about everything, brag about everything, and gossip about everything. The main reason why the two got so close was that they both loved playing video games. The living conditions of Ethan Yi's family were relatively good and it was easy to find change. So Ethan Yi often stole change from home and called Kai Wei. The two drove a 28-car to a large arcade in a village five miles away to play games. The two loved playing fighting games the most. Over time, the two's gaming skills have ranked among the top three in the town.

When he grew up, Ethan Yi dropped out of school early. Under the introduction of his relatives, he found a good job as an electrician in a steel factory in Fenghai City. The factory was large and there were many workers, so it was inevitable that there would be freeloaders among them. Ethan Yi was such a master, with a high salary, and did a painful job. According to him, the most tiring job every day was stretching.

And Kai Wei, because he had no skills, it didn't matter. According to the theory that "study is the only way out for poor families", he embarked on the road of education. At that time, because Ethan Yi and Kai Wei had a good relationship, the former also planned to ask relatives to arrange a job for Kai Wei, but Kai Wei refused because he had an unshakable idea in his heart: Only by succeeding on his own can he be truly proud.

The memory ends here. It is said that Kai Wei spent 70 yuan to buy a seatless high-speed high-speed rail ticket from Xicang to Fenghai, the slowest high-speed rail. Because it was the end of the year, there were many people on the high-speed rail. Kai Wei stood in the two rows of seats, looked at the aisle full of people, thinking about the thirty-five-hour drive, and complained in his heart: Family planning is not implemented well enough.

At each stop, a large number of people got on and off the bus. Whenever Kai Wei got on the seat of someone getting off the bus, someone getting on the bus stood next to him and said politely: "I'm sorry, this is my seat." Then he waved the ticket in front of his eyes.

After an unknown number of stops, Kai Wei's feet were so tired that he almost lost consciousness, and he was so sleepy that every time he tried to fall asleep, he would wake up when he almost fell. As soon as You Qi stopped, many people passed by him and asked him to give way. Finally, Kai Wei couldn't bear it any longer and said to a person with a rather unkind tone: "Just step over my feet." That person was really obedient and stepped over his feet.

After about twenty-seven or eight hours of torture, an older brother next to him was about to get off the bus. Kai Wei had no hope because even if he occupied a seat, someone holding a "seat-only" ticket would chase him away.

But it took a while to feel comfortable. Kai Wei saw his elder brother getting up to get his luggage and hurriedly prepared to take a seat. Unexpectedly, the elder brother called a beautiful girl who had just got on the bus from the previous station and had an afro perm, who was a little far away from him: "Girl, I see you have been standing for a long time. I will get off in a while, you can sit here with me."

The girl said thank you and walked over to Kai Wei. When she got to Kai Wei's side, she said politely: "Classmate, give way."

Kai Wei moved a few steps with a dark face, making room for the girl to get in. Then I felt unhappy, why didn't the damn sixth sense come? If I had predicted in advance that this bastard would give up his seat to a girl, I could have grabbed the seat before he spoke.

The girl's dress is very avant-garde. In addition to her afro, she also has a ring of earrings pierced around her ears. She is a typical girl. Fortunately, it is winter and everyone is wrapped in thick coats. If it were summer, this kind of person would be dressed in all kinds of strange clothes.

After the bus stops, the "kind-hearted" brother is about to get off. Before leaving, I asked Taimei: "Is it convenient to leave your contact information?"

Taimei smiled and said to Kai Wei: "Classmate, do you have a pen?"

"What kind of pen are you using? Tell me your number and I'll call you and we'll save it all." The "kindhearted" brother couldn't wait to take out his phone.

"Hey," Taimei snorted, "It only makes sense to write with a pen."

Kai Wei had no choice but to take out a pen from his bag and hand it to Tai Mei. He sold all the books, but he had to keep the pen, because after arriving in Fenghai City, it would definitely come in handy when looking for a job, writing a resume, etc.

Taimei picked up a pen and drew numbers on the "kind" brother's hand. At this time, Kai Wei suddenly had a strange idea, so he took out his phone and quietly wrote down the number written by the girl on it. He didn't know why he did this. If he had to give a reason, it was that he had never been in contact with girls. It was probably a desire for the opposite sex.

After finishing the note, Kai Wei saw that the "kind-hearted" brother had a somewhat painful expression. Why should he be happy that he got a beautiful woman's number? But when he saw the deep marks made by the pen tip on the red palm of the "kind-hearted" brother, he understood the reason. It must be that the girl wrote too hard.

The "kind-hearted" brother got off the bus, and after a while, a large group of people boarded the bus one after another. Kai Wei was once again squeezed and had no place to stand.

"Classmate, are you tired?"

Kai Wei heard Taimei's voice and looked back, only to see Taimei staring at him with a pair of big eyes covered with eyeshadow and false eyelashes.

"It's okay, I'm not tired, I'm not tired, hehehe." Kai Wei replied unnaturally.

"Come here." Taimei suddenly stood up and pulled Kai Wei to his seat.

"I'm sitting here. Where do you sit?"

Before Kai Wei finished speaking, Taimei had already sat down on his lap.

Kai Wei had never received such preferential treatment before. His heart was pounding out of his throat. He could only suppress his excitement and nervousness by swallowing saliva.

The car was very crowded, and most people could see this scene clearly. Those who were close would sigh inwardly at the deterioration of the world, while those who were far away would think that the two were lovers. It was not surprising that they were sitting like this.

"Classmate, do you have a wrench in your pocket? It hit me."

"I don't have a wrench." Kai Wei knew what had caught the other person, but he thought to himself, don't they usually talk about keys in books? Mine is a wrench. Hehe, a man's confidence filled his face.

"You" Taimei frowned and said nothing. Just like that, I don't know how long it took, and the number of people in the car gradually became less and less, because it was almost to the terminal, Fenghai City, and most of the people who went out to work came from small villages to the big cities. It was impossible for people from big cities to go to other places to work.

Therefore, as we get closer and closer to Fenghai City, there are fewer and fewer people on the high-speed rail. At this time, there were many extra seats, but Kai Wei and the girl still sat in the same position.

The two of them were speechless. It was not that Kai Wei was not good at communicating with others, but because it was the first time for him to have such close contact with a girl, he enjoyed the process too much and had no intention of talking.

"Where are you going to stop?" Taimei suddenly asked.

"Fenghai, what about you?"

"Same"

"Oh, are you a student?" Kai Wei said.

"No, what about you?"

"Just graduated."

"Don't be ridiculous. It's only the last semester. How can anyone graduate at this time? I didn't expect you to be quite humorous." Taimei said with a smile.

Only then did Kai Wei realize that he had said the wrong thing. He was embarrassed to say that he was an undergraduate, so he said that he had graduated. Unexpectedly, he was exposed by the other party. However, Kai Wei was smart enough and immediately replied: "I will graduate next semester, but most people go out to look for work internships after finishing the first half of the semester. I also had this idea, so I came to Fenghai City to practice."

"Oh, how old are you"

"Twenty-one." Kai Wei replied.

"I'm twenty-two"

One year older than me, Kai Wei secretly thought.

"What do you do?" Kai Wei asked.

"I'll tell you after I get off the car. By the way, can you give me a hug?" Taimei's voice was very low, but her tone was very bold.

Okay, these words were spoken in Kai Wei's heart. He would be a fool not to take advantage of her. Kai Wei couldn't wait to wrap his arms around Tai Mei's waist, pushing harder and harder.

The annoying arrival reminder rang. Kai Wei let go of Taimei and followed Taimei out of the carriage. After getting off the car, Taimei suddenly put an electronic LinkedIn QR card in Kai Wei's hand and ran away into the crowd without looking back.

Kai Wei looked at the electronic LinkedIn QR card and was surprised. He unconsciously read it out: "Shuangren Foot Spa"
