Kissed dizzy, An Xi shook her head… felt something wasn’t quite right, then nodded…
“Hehe… let’s go back.”
Yan Qing casually fiddled with a few things, and the originally stuck seatbelt naturally opened.
“…Mm.”
An Xi obediently nodded and got out of the car, walking home in a daze… On the way, she almost fell on flat ground… making Yan Qing worry for nothing.
“…Phew.”
Yan Qing only started the car after seeing An Xi’s room light turn on.
He gradually calmed his mood and headed home…
Now, he must restrain himself… Because in this lifetime, no one could take An Xi from him, so he would give her the best… Everything would be the best for her.
The originally planned “kissing plan” was completely different today… Perhaps it would be more romantic. But An Xi’s initiative was the most precious “surprise”. Plans… could wait! He was truly happy tonight…
After Yan Qing left, Lin Feifei slowly walked out from the shadows. Although she didn’t know what happened between Yan Qing and An Xi in the car, this didn’t affect her growing hatred towards An Xi…
She looked up at An Xi’s lit room and bit her lower lip.
Lin Feifei’s home was not a happy, harmonious family. Her father often drank outside and would come home to beat her and her mother, while her mother would only hug her and cry, then take a knife and constantly self-harm when her father was away…
The only good thing about this family was sucking up to her cousin Xiao Ran. She could see that by following Xiao Ran and getting to know more good men, she, Lin Feifei, could definitely live a good life!
Hehe, never mind… Lin Feifei curled her mouth.
It seems like this “pink bubble” family looks very beautiful… And she even has such an excellent boyfriend who is devoted to her, steadily studying at university, being a good “flower of the motherland”… How happy!
—Ah… she really wants to shatter her happiness, bit by bit!
Lin Feifei licked her lips, her beautifully painted pink nails scratching on the utility pole with a “creak creak” sound, very harsh…
★, Chapter Thirty-Two
No matter how unwilling An Xi was, the day of the sketching trip to Y City gradually arrived.
Pulling a large suitcase, carrying a backpack, with her hair in two ponytails, An Xi was dressed casually and ready to go. Since they would spend more than a day on the train, everyone’s suitcases had small bags of snacks and instant noodles tied to them.
When everyone had almost arrived, the tour guide called the tour bus.
This sketching trip’s expenses were negotiated by the class monitor with the travel agency, and with the school’s subsidy, everyone paid around 1,800 yuan. Compared to regular tour prices, it was quite cheap, but the process would probably be arduous…
An Xi naturally sat with her classmate Shen Yi, occupying the double seats in the eighth row, looking at the familiar scenery outside with a subtle excitement.
Since they had to go to Y City anyway, and were already on the way to the train station, everyone accepted this with a positive attitude, and the chatting atmosphere was quite harmonious.
The train at 9:10 pm started this sketching journey. At least for now, An Xi hadn’t expected this trip… would be as “exciting” as a movie.
The tickets were for hard sleeper berths. An Xi and Shen Yi were on the same side, one on the middle bunk, one on the lower bunk. The upper bunk was occupied by a cheerful classmate. Unexpectedly, the opposite side was occupied by three male classmates…
Originally, there were few male students in the art class, and their animation class had only four male students. Now three of them were across from them. The three usually didn’t interact much with female students, so it was initially awkward, but after chatting for a while, it felt much better.
Later, Shen Yi even teased An Xi, saying “Your handsome boyfriend will definitely be jealous”, to which An Xi awkwardly laughed and thought… he might indeed be jealous!
The train departure time was already late, and after chatting for a while, it was time to turn off the lights and sleep. Although many people said they could sleep easily on a swaying train, An Xi still looked out the pitch-black window, unable to fall asleep…
Around seven in the morning, An Xi had probably only slept for a few hours and could no longer sleep. After briefly washing up, she nibbled on bread and stared blankly out the window, looking lost.
The entire day was spent playing poker, eating, using phones, and chatting. Occasionally, an auntie service worker would push a cart of fruits, shouting “Ten yuan a box”.
Shen Yi raised her eyebrows, throwing down a seven of spades, “Such a small box is so expensive, I won’t buy it!”
“Ten…”
The girl on the upper bunk threw down a card, “But it feels so dry on the train!”
“Then… K!”
An Xi smiled and added, “We can buy fruits after getting off the train! Y City’s fruits are famous for being delicious!
I’ve decided! When that auntie passes by again, I’ll buy a box… I’ll pay with a small bill!” As soon as she started talking about fruit, Shen Yi licked her lips with lingering enjoyment and made up her mind. “Okay, okay! Big King beats you!” An Qi called out happily, “We’ll probably arrive in about seven hours, right?” “Yes! It seems like it’ll be around midnight… The tour guide just said that after getting off the bus, we’ll still have over an hour’s journey before reaching the community!” The girl on the upper bunk opened a bag of lollipops and handed one out. “Fruit, fruit, eight yuan a box!” How cheap… The auntie pushing the fruit cart came back again, and Shen Yi immediately ran over to buy a box of Hami melon, stabbed a piece and stuffed it in her mouth, looking completely satisfied. Then she passed some to An Qi and the girl on the upper bunk, gesturing for them to help themselves. Of course, as they got closer to their destination, the fruit became cheaper… When the auntie shouted “Fruit, two boxes for six yuan”, Shen Yi’s face darkened… Although the journey was somewhat tiring, the laughter and cheerful voices made for a pretty good memory.
