Not long after Wang Hu left.
Zhou Dewen emerged from his bedroom.
Still clad in an imperial robe, he strutted in front of Wang Yue, a show-off. "How is it? My newly custom-made imperial robe, isn't it majestic?"
Zhou Dewen's usual hobby was collecting Qing Dynasty official uniforms, and dragon robes.
To normal people, it was incredibly cringe.
But Zhou Dewen felt it was just right.
"Hmm, very imposing, suitable for a stroll outside,"
Wang Yue nodded and said.
"Forget going out, I'm afraid if I'm too majestic, those girls won't be able to control themselves when they see me, how dangerous would that be?"
Zhou Dewen chuckled.
He collected these things purely as a personal hobby, but if he were to actually wear them out, he wouldn't have the thick skin for it.
"You only dare to wear it at home, not even taking pictures, isn't that boring?"
Wang Yue said.
"Self-indulgence is enough."
Zhou Dewen added, "Oh right, I'm going to learn to drive after the college entrance exams, are you coming?"
Wang Yue thought for a moment and said, "Yes."
After all, you need a driver's license to be on the road, and he would definitely buy a car in this life.
And it had to be a luxury car that was fast upon acceleration.
"Alright, after I get my license, I'll take out the family car, and we'll go on a road trip!"
Zhou Dewen said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while.
Zhou Dewen took out his phone and showed Wang Yue some pictures of girls.
"Isn't this girl pretty?"
Zhou Dewen said with a hint of pride.
The girl in the photo looked very pure, with the currently popular slanted bangs.
"She's alright."
Wang Yue glanced and said.
"She's my new online girlfriend. She asked me to visit her during the National Day holiday. I'm still hesitating. Why don't you come with me? What if I run into traffickers, you're so good at fighting, you can protect me."
Zhou Dewen said with hope.
Wang Yue looked at Zhou Dewen. This guy loved online dating for no reason. In his later university years, he was even more obsessed. He was dating a girl from Vietnam online and planned to fly to Vietnam during the holidays to meet her. But then the other party couldn't take it anymore and proactively revealed that they were a man. Zhou Dewen, disheartened, gave up the idea.
"Are you sure she's not a guy?"
Wang Yue teased.
"Of course not, we've video chatted."
Zhou Dewen said seriously, "My future happiness depends on you, Wang Yue, you're my real brother!"
"Where is this girl from?"
Wang Yue asked.
"Lizhou!"
Zhou Dewen quickly said, "She works in Lizhou, a nursing intern."
Lizhou?
It wasn't particularly far from where they were, still in the same province.
It's just that transportation was underdeveloped at that time, and they could only take the train, which would take a long time, two days for a round trip.
"All expenses will be reimbursed by me."
Wang Yue said after thinking for a moment.
Lizhou had Jianmen Pass, the place described as harder to ascend than the heavens in Li Bai's poetry.
Wang Yue had always wanted to see it, but unfortunately, he never had the chance in his previous life.
"Wang Yue, you are truly my brother!"
Zhou Dewen jumped up excitedly.
He wouldn't dare to go to meet his online girlfriend alone, especially traveling so far.
But with his good brother accompanying him, what was there to fear? Just do it!
As soon as they decided, Zhou Dewen booked train tickets. The journey would take eight to nine hours, and it was for tonight. They would arrive after a night's sleep.
The meaning of youth lies in spontaneity.
Once work becomes overwhelming, going anywhere becomes a luxury.
Wang Yue returned home and told his parents he was going to Lizhou.
His parents only reminded Wang Yue to be careful on the road, keep a low profile when alone, and not to cause trouble.
After a simple packing, Wang Yue brought two sets of clothes to change and headed to the train station with Zhou Dewen.
Zhou Dewen was dressed smartly, even wearing perfume, looking quite presentable.
While waiting for the train, Wang Yue received a message from Qiao Zixuan.
"Xuanxuan: Classmate Wang Yue, I've arrived at the airport~"
"Xuanxuan: [Image.jpg]"
The image was of the airport, with many airplanes.
Wang Yue smiled and replied, "Be safe on your journey, I wish you a smooth trip."
"Xuanxuan: What are you doing?"
"wy: I'm going to Lizhou with my best friend."
"Xuanxuan: Lizhou?! I want to go too!!"
"wy: Then come back now, and we'll go together. /Smirk"
"Xuanxuan: Hmph, it's too late, I'll go next time."
In the airport waiting lounge.
Qiao Zixuan was engrossed in her phone conversation.
The girl sitting next to her leaned over curiously.
She saw that Qiao Zixuan had her contact saved as "Piggy."
She immediately gossiped, "Piggy? Who is it? Do I know him?"
"Ah?"
Qiao Zixuan quickly looked up nervously, made eye contact with the girl, and said with a blush, "Huang Ailin, how could you peek at other people's chats!"
Huang Ailin grabbed Qiao Zixuan and said with a sly smile, "Come on, tell me, which handsome guy is this?"
"Stop fooling around!"
Qiao Zixuan quickly broke free and said, "You don't know him."
"Oh~"
Huang Ailin said meaningfully, "Have you kissed yet?"
"I'll pinch you to death, you little brat!"
Qiao Zixuan grabbed Huang Ailin's soft flesh, and the latter repeatedly begged for mercy.
"Stop pinching! I won't say anything, okay?"
"Hmph!"
Qiao Zixuan let go, but Huang Ailin pounced on her again, tickling her. "You, Qiao Zixuan, have a boyfriend and didn't tell me, and you're threatening me. Let's see if I don't tickle you to death."
The two wrestled in a playful tussle, oblivious to a pair of lecherous eyes observing them from afar.
After a while, they were both tired and called a truce.
"Qiao Zixuan, come clean! Who is this guy?"
Huang Ailin asked.
"Oh, he's a classmate."
Qiao Zixuan said nervously.
"Just a classmate?"
Huang Ailin asked with a scrutinizing gaze.
"He's really just a classmate!"
Qiao Zixuan thought to herself, "I haven't had time to develop into a lover yet."
Just then, a pleasant male voice said, "Two beautiful ladies, are you also going to Modu?"
The two looked up and saw a stylishly dressed young man smiling at them.
The young man was handsome and dressed impeccably, the kind who easily wins the favor of girls.
However, Huang Ailin didn't play along and said directly, "Are you trying to pursue me or my best friend?"
The young man was taken aback and was about to say something.
Huang Ailin interrupted him again, "Before you answer, tell me first, am I prettier or is my best friend prettier?"
The young man's smile didn't waver. "Each has her own charm, like the different beauties of history! It's truly hard to decide."
Huang Ailin said with a smile, "So are you saying I'm fat, or my best friend is fat?"
Faced with such a killer question.
The young man didn't falter and lightly slapped his own face. "Look at my clumsy tongue, I tend to misuse idioms. One is as beautiful as a sinking fish and a falling goose, the other is as captivating as a moonlit flower. Neither is fat, both are beautiful."
