"Damn it," Liu Jinpeng held four corgis in his left hand and carried a poop shoveling suit in his right hand, "I want to go too. If I hadn't performed well at work, I would definitely have asked for leave."
"Be honest, don't ask for leave blindly even if you have just started working," Ding Ji said, "Lin Wuyu is going to take care of his own family affairs, what's the point of me following along?"
"Afraid of embarrassment? Don't you two have a good relationship?" Liu Jinpeng said, "If I go to handle my cousin's business, wouldn't it be normal for you to follow me? What's the point of that?"
"Really?" Ding Ji looked at him.
"Isn't it?" Liu Jinpeng bent down to shovel the shit of a Sanhua Corgi.
"Lin Wuyu is not you!" Ding Ji said, "My relationship with him is not as good as ours!"
"Hey - that's right," Liu Jinpeng said loudly, "I like to hear this, and I say it with my conscience... But the relationship between you two is very good, and it can't be better than that between the two of us. It’s normal, we have been friends for many years, but apart from me, he is the only friend.”
Ding Ji said nothing.
He didn't tell Liu Jinpeng in too much detail. He only said that Lin Wuyu had something to do at home and he went there in advance. He didn't say that Lin Wuyu refused him without waiting for him to finish talking about going. But Liu Jinpeng's words still made sense. of.
He was just worried about what trouble would happen to Lin Wuyu alone in the past. In fact, there was a high chance that he would not be able to find someone. Finding someone would be the best outcome. If he could find someone, who knows what Lin Zhan's situation is now? Is he a good guy or a bad guy, who is he with, and what is his attitude towards Lin Wuyu?
Lin Zhan was just a junior high school student when he ran away. For such a young child, if nothing happened and he stayed out all the time, and failed to learn well... he might not be something that Lin Wuyu could handle.
He has to be protected by Ding Ji, a man of the world.
"If you go without me, I will definitely not be happy... Come on, Xiao Ke, come this way, don't go around in circles! The rope is twisted!" Liu Jinpeng was carrying the shit while directing the few who didn't listen to him at all. Dog, while taking the role of himself, said, "I have never seen the flag raising in my whole life. I want to see the flag raising... Little Ji, please slow down and don't bite Ji Ji!"
Ding Ji turned to stare at him.
"There are four dogs in this family! Xiao Ke, Xiao Ji, Ke Keji! Really!" Liu Jinpeng said like a tongue twister, "I don't know why the names of these owners are so uncreative. There is also a golden retriever named Maomao and a Thai one in the store. Dee’s name is Didi…”
Ding Ji laughed.
"Anyway, if you don't take me with you, I'll have to go myself to make a fuss about it. I'll make a hundred videos of raising the national flag and post them on WeChat, and I'll piss you off to death..." Liu Jinpeng said.
"Why don't you go all the way just to watch the national flag being raised?" Ding Ji said.
"I'm just using an analogy." Liu Jinpeng rolled his eyes at him.
It would be late in the afternoon to fill in the application points, and there were still ten days in between. When Ding Ji was leaning on the sofa watching TV at night, he had a hunch that Lin Wuyu couldn't wait so long.
"Old lady," Ding Ji gently tapped grandma's arm with his foot, "help me do the math..."
"I can't beat you to death for being unruly!" Grandma slapped him quickly on his calf.
"Ouch," Ding Ji retracted his legs and rubbed them while enjoying himself, "This reaction doesn't look like that of an old lady."
"This is what you trained to recruit your grandma all day long." Grandpa said next to him.
"Why are you talking!" Grandma stared at him, "Who is training me? I am a dog and I am training!"
"I didn't say anything," Grandpa said. "I don't want to scold your grandson. Come around and scold me."
"Are you willing to scold me?" Grandma said.
"My father is reluctant to scold," Ding Ji raised his feet and dangled on his toes, "He is willing to hit."
"You troublemaker, you troublemaker!" My sister-in-law came over and poked him twice in the stomach, "Since you were a child, you have been teasing your grandparents to fight all day long, and you are fighting with crickets!"
"Hey!" Ding Ji grabbed his sister-in-law's hand, "Who are you talking about?"
"Tell me about you!" My sister-in-law patted him and took the red envelope out of her pocket. "Take it, I forgot about it when I left later."
"Money?" Ding Ji took the red envelope, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I love you."
"How much?" Grandma immediately came over, "I don't want any less."
My sister-in-law laughed: "A lot! I guarantee a lot, but I won't dare to give it to him in front of you if I don't have a lot!"
"When Xiao Ji gets to work, it's time to get red envelopes for Little Mung Bean," grandma said with a smile, "Nothing less will do! Let Little Mung Bean make trouble for him."
Ding Ji followed Hehe and was happy, but a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Mung Bean is the daughter of my sister-in-law. She is now in elementary school. It is said that her sister-in-law will give him a red envelope, and the corresponding relationship should be that her father will give him a red envelope, but grandma did not mention him.
The son he raised...can't be said to be outstanding. Not only is the son excellent, but the daughter-in-law is also very outstanding. But the more outstanding he is, the farther away he is from himself, and in the end he is gone.
"What did you just ask me to do?" Grandma asked.
"Yes or no." Ding Ji said.
"You figure it out yourself," grandma said with disdain, "Do you want me to figure it out too?"
"You're right." Ding Ji said.
"Will he win the top prize?" my sister-in-law guessed.
"Don't guess!" Grandma said, "It's not going to work out if you guess!"
My sister-in-law smiled and sat on the chair: "Oh, then does this count?"
"He doesn't know how to calculate the number one scholar," grandma told my sister-in-law. "If I really want to save face, I should have hidden myself in the house and not asked me to calculate it for him."
"It's true." My sister-in-law nodded.
"Yes." Grandma patted Ding Ji's leg.
"Let me go on a trip these two days," Ding Ji said, "Is that okay?"
"Okay, what's wrong," Grandpa said, "Do you want to go with your classmates? Or go with Pengpeng?"
"Go with Lin Wuyu." Ding Ji said. He was embarrassed to say that he was going alone and Lin Wuyu didn't take him.
"Who is Lin Wuyu?" my sister-in-law asked.
"The provincial champion is ready to run." Grandma said, "The little fairy from the attached middle school."
"...Grandma, can you please stop giving people random nicknames like Pengpeng?" Ding Ji laughed, "I'm talking about reserve duty. Pengpeng said he was ready to start, but when he came to you, it became a reserve service."
My sister-in-law couldn't help laughing: "Then you two go? Do you have money?"
"You give it?" Grandma asked immediately.
"Here you go, he's not my grandson," my sister-in-law said with a smile, "I'm going to take Little Mung Bean abroad during the summer vacation, so prepare two portions of the money."
"It's really annoying," grandma frowned and instructed grandpa, "get them some money."
Lin Wuyu only sent a message to Ding Ji before setting off. The only person who knew about this was Ding Ji. Ding Ji didn't say anything more about going with him, but only told him that his things could be left at his grandparents' house.
However, Lin Wuyu took a look and found that apart from what he brought with him, the only things he kept in the dormitory were clothes, and there was nothing that needed special storage.
After packing his simple luggage, he stood in the dormitory, a little confused.
Suddenly he had no whereabouts at all. Apart from these luggage, he felt that he had nowhere to come and nowhere to go.
He wasn't even eager for the summer vacation to end soon and start a new life. Before that, the news about Lin Zhan and his mother's illness were hurdles that he had not yet overcome.
There are many people at the station, and you can see many excited young faces. Students who went out to play after the college entrance examination included some with their parents, and some with three or five classmates.
Lin Wuyu looked around, not wanting to meet his classmates. He was not in the mood to chat with anyone along the way.
I should have bought a plane ticket if I had known earlier.
Ding Ji also asked him why he didn't buy a plane ticket to go there. He told Ding Ji because he had lent him the money.
Ding Ji gave him a thumbs up in return.
Lin Wuyu still feels a little happy when he thinks about it now.
He looked down at his ticket. The entrance to the station was a bit far and he had to walk for a while, but he came a little early. He heard that there was a delicious Malatang restaurant at the station...
The phone rang, it was from Ding Ji -
Be safe, put your phone away before dozing off -
Don't worry, it's not the first time I've gone out -
But you fall asleep instantly
Lin Wuyu smiled while holding the phone, and replied to Ding Ji that he understood.
Until he found the Malatang restaurant, queued up to buy it, and finished eating, Ding Ji didn't reply again.
Lin Wuyu sat on his seat and drank two sips of the spicy soup before standing up and walking towards the entrance.
Maybe when Ding Ji said he wanted to go together that day, he refused too quickly and too simply. Ding Ji is a sensitive person, and whether this is his way of caring for his friends or not, it will definitely hurt his self-esteem.
Lin Wuyu sighed.
If he overthinks this matter and fails to handle it well, bring Ding Ji a gift and treat him to a meal when he comes back.
There were many people walking together around him, and there were also many noisy voices, talking, laughing, and shouting. Lin Wuyu did not dislike such voices. He used to be able to endorse in such an environment, especially now, in this kind of environment. Despite the chaos, he felt at ease.
I even had the mood to listen carefully to those sounds.
"I told you not to bring so many things..."
"I made an agreement with my sister, and she can pick her up at the station..."
"...Stop crying! If it falls, it falls! It's so annoying!"
"I haven't entered the station yet..."
Lin Wuyu paused, then suddenly raised his head and glanced forward. Although it was a bit unbelievable, this voice was too familiar to him.
I haven't replied to my message before. I'm afraid I'm busy with security check?
"You're so interesting," Ding Ji held the phone, "I didn't even get in the car, so you gave me a list first."
"I don't know if I can buy them," Liu Jinpeng said. "What if these stores are too scattered? You have to start looking for them as soon as you arrive."
"Pengpeng?" Ding Ji said, "Am I going on a trip or am I going to buy things for you?"
"It doesn't count as a purchasing agent," Liu Jinpeng said, "I don't pay."
"...Okay." Ding Ji nodded.
"Did you tell Lin Wuyu that you were going too?" Liu Jinpeng asked, "If we meet him earlier, will he think you are not interesting enough? And you still deliberately intend to make people angry."
"He's not interested enough," Ding Ji said. Although he planned to contact Lin Wuyu when he arrived, he still cooperated with Liu Jinpeng seriously at this moment, "I'm scared to death!"
After saying that, he still looked around. After all, he didn't want to meet Lin Wuyu right now: "There are a lot of people. I don't think I can find him even if I look for him specifically. Besides, I came in advance."
"What if he also goes ahead of schedule?" Liu Jinpeng said.
"His personality is not that of someone who arrives at the station half an hour in advance and waits for it," Ding Ji said. "He is a confident and well-planned person. He will definitely find the most reliable plan to get himself stuck at the ticket check-in time."
"You're still good at judging people," Liu Jinpeng said, "Remember, take a few videos and post them on WeChat Moments. I'm traveling for a while. That's the most irritating thing."
"Well," Ding Ji continued to walk forward with his head lowered, "I'm almost at the entrance, I'll get in the car soon..."
Someone blocked his way in front of him, and he took a wrong step to the side: "I'll get in the car later..."
The man also moved a step to the side.
Sometimes I'm afraid of this amazing synchronization rate. Two strangers are going left and right together. Sometimes they still bump into each other even after giving way for a long time.
"I'll do it after we get in the car..." Ding Ji simply stopped and raised his head, intending to wait for the man to walk away before continuing to move forward.
As soon as he raised his head, he was immediately in deep embarrassment. He realized that some things should not be said with too much certainty. He also realized that his analysis of people was not always accurate, especially for people like Lin Wuyu.
"Hang up the phone first." Lin Wuyu stood in front of him, holding the tow bar of the suitcase, and said in a low voice.
"What are you talking about in this series?" Liu Jinpeng was confused on the phone, "Okay, I know, tell me when you get in the car."
"Well," Ding Ji looked at Lin Wuyu, "I'm dead."
Liu Jinpeng hung up the phone over there.
"What a coincidence?" Ding Ji put the phone back into his pocket and said.
Lin Wuyu was probably a little surprised that he could speak such a blunt line so confidently. He opened his mouth without saying anything and just laughed.
"Laughing?" Ding Ji glared at him.
"What a coincidence, don't you know?" Lin Wuyu said.
"I'm going to watch the flag-raising." Ding Ji said.
Lin Wuyu said nothing.
"Okay," Ding Ji sighed, "To be honest, I just don't think it's reliable for you to go and do this."
"Yeah." Lin Wuyu responded.
"You don't know whether Lin Zhan lives nearby or passes by occasionally," Ding Ji said. "He is willing to see you or not, and you are not sure what kind of person he is now and how good he is. You don’t know whether it’s good or bad, whether there’s trouble or not. To put it bluntly, you don’t even dare to be 100% sure that it’s him.”
Lin Wuyu said nothing, put his hands in his pockets, and leaned against the pillar next to him to look at him.
"Dirty," Ding Ji frowned and pointed behind him, "Aren't you unhappy seeing me next to the trash can? Now I'm almost sitting on the trash can myself."
Lin Wuyu left the pillar again and walked to him.
"It's best if you can't find one. If God is crazy and lets you encounter such a coincidence," Ding Ji said, "There must be someone better than you. Many things are not entirely about whether you can do it or not." The problem that can be dealt with is that it would be... very lonely if one person is responsible for it."
Lin Wuyu still didn't speak. After a moment of silence, he reached out and patted his shoulder, then scratched it firmly.
"Do you want to eat spicy hotpot?" Lin Wuyu asked.
"...What?" Ding Ji was still immersed in his own words.
"Don't you know that there is a famous Malatang restaurant in the station?" Lin Wuyu said, "There are several branches, but this one in the station is the best. I'll treat you to it."
"Ah." Ding Ji just wanted to give Lin Wuyu a bow. What kind of obsession does this person have with eating? He can suddenly make a show on his own in such a touching plot.
"Maybe we don't have time to eat here," Lin Wuyu said as he walked back, "There are a lot of people queuing up. If you buy something, you can eat it while walking."
"Wait a minute," Ding Ji grabbed his suitcase, "You just ate, right? There's no way you haven't eaten."
"I ate," Lin Wuyu said, "I came here half an hour early just to save time to eat."
Ding Ji hugged his fists and said, "I don't want to eat. I want to check in and enter the station."
I want to make a note. When analyzing any behavior of Lin Wuyu, the variable "eating" must be considered.
"Okay," Lin Wuyu thought for a moment, "Then we'll eat when we get back. I originally wanted to come back and treat you to something to eat."
"A meal of spicy hotpot won't kill me," Ding Ji said.
"Whatever you want." Lin Wuyu said, after walking a few steps he paused again, "I'm sorry that day, I didn't say I wouldn't let you go, I just felt..."
"I know," Ding Ji interrupted him, "but can you wait until I finish speaking before rejecting me? It's very shameful for me to be in such a hurry and not even let you finish speaking."
Lin Wuyu said nothing and patted him gently on the back.
Their train number is the same, but the carriages are two cars apart.
Ding Ji stood in front of the yellow line and complained: "I feel more comfortable now. If you don't let me go, it's better. It's two carriages away and there's not even a single person to chat with along the way!"
"If I hadn't met you, you wouldn't have had anyone to talk to along the way." Lin Wuyu said.
"But now that we have met," Ding Ji glared at him, "the assumption that we haven't met him no longer exists."
"Let's change with someone later," Lin Wuyu said, "What a big deal."
"What bothers me the most is people changing seats with me in the car," Ding Ji said, "especially if I want to change to another carriage, I have to squeeze in with my luggage."
"Then let's go to the dining car and chat." Lin Wuyu sighed.
Ding Ji suddenly laughed: "It's your style."
The seat change went smoothly. There was a girl next to Ding Ji. He went to a relative's house alone and asked who was a sophomore in No. 8 Middle School. He readily agreed to change seats.
"Wow," the girl was a little surprised when she saw Lin Wuyu coming with a suitcase, "Lin Wuyu? Are you Lin Wuyu from the attached high school?"
"Huh?" Lin Wuyu looked at her, "Yes."
"I've heard of you, God of Learning," the girl smiled, "The city news also reported on you before. You are the youngest professional drone guide in the city."
"It sounds a bit embarrassing," Lin Wuyu also smiled, "Let me help you carry your luggage."
"No, no, no," the girl picked up her backpack, "I only have this bag, you sit down."
Lin Wuyu still insisted on sending the girl to his carriage, and then returned to Ding Ji after taking her to her seat.
Ding Ji felt a little emotional, this meant that he was not interested in girls, otherwise Lin Wuyu would be quite competitive given Lin Wuyu's conditions.
"Let's chat." Lin Wuyu sat down and patted his legs.
"What are you talking about?" Ding Ji was stunned.
"My God," Lin Wuyu said, "Isn't that why I changed my seat?"
"...Aren't you talking?" Ding Ji looked at him.
Lin Wuyu laughed, and Ding Ji sighed, then laughed too.
"Thank you," Lin Wuyu said, "I really... didn't expect you to come here."
"When people are in the Jianghu," Ding Ji said, "the only thing they get around is righteousness."
Lin Wuyu turned his head and glanced at him.
"You're welcome." Ding Ji said.
