C40

Zhao Yilin leaned against the TV cabinet, holding the vacuum cleaner in one hand and staring at the screen in a daze.

A WeChat from Fang Xinying said, "Chen Huan said that I had insulted his innocence and wanted to force me to marry him. What should I do?"

Zhao Yilin shivered and replied, "This isn't ancient times."

Fang Xinying didn't reply for a long time, but she didn't care about anyone else. She didn't know how to deal with Zhang Youzhen last night.

She turned on the vacuum cleaner and cleaned the carpet. The whole living room buzzed. After working for half an hour, the living room was completely cleaned up. Zhao Yilin put her hands on her waist and nodded in satisfaction. She decided that as long as Zhang You really didn't mention it, she would pretend to have lost her memory.

In any case, men weren't the only ones who could do the thing of slapping their butts and leaving after drinking too much.

There was a long vacation before the movie's promotional period, and Zhao Yilin wanted to go to an interview for an advertisement today. Before she left, she received a call from the principal of Hope Primary School in County C, asking if she could come next Thursday for the inauguration of New Hope Primary School.

Zhao Yilin was a bit embarrassed. "But I haven't funded the reconstruction of the school."

The headmaster said, "It's like this. The two children you funded are graduating this summer, and they are very grateful for the support you've given them over the years and would like to take this opportunity to meet you. "

During her university years, she and Qi Xiaoyan had supported two poor children to attend school. After her death, Qi Xiaoyan had insisted on sending tuition fees and school supplies to the two children every year.

It had been almost six years since the first grade.

She often received letters and small gifts from her two children, but ever since Qi Xiaoyan's death, she had never wanted to see them again.

Looking at Qi Xiaoyan's photo, Zhao Yilin smiled and nodded, "Alright, I will be there on time."

Zhao Yilin loved to travel, especially to strange places where she could enjoy the thrill and novelty of being a human.

She hung up the phone and looked at her calendar. On Thursday, she booked a train ticket for tomorrow and sent a voice message to Zhang Yanzhen. "I want to go to the mountains for a few days. I'll come back the next week."

Then he sent a voice message to Fang Xinying, "I will go to the mountains to settle down for a week. I will come back the next week. I hope to hear the good news about you and Chen Huan when we get back. "

A few seconds later, the phone rang. Seeing that it was Fang Xinying who called first, he was a bit surprised.

"Are you kidding? Where are we going? "

"To C County. The two children that Xiao Yan and I supported are about to graduate. We're going to meet them."

"Oh, that's a good thing. But the conditions in the mountains are not good, so you must be careful when walking back and forth. Also, bring some cotton clothes with you. There's no air conditioning in the mountains, so people will freeze to death."

Zhao Yilin laughed, "I'm going to the ceremony, not to the countryside. It's not as exaggerated as you say."

At that moment, Zhang Youzhu called. Zhao Yilin quickly hung up on Fang Xinying and answered his call.

"Why are we suddenly going to the mountains? Is it related to filming? "

Zhao Yilin briefly explained the situation, but didn't mention anything about Qi Xiaoyan.

Like Fang Xinying, Zhang Yezhen said, "Will you be in danger if you go alone? Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, I want to go for a walk by myself," said Zhao Yilin. Thank you for taking us home last night. "

Zhang You was silent for a while, before he said, "It's nothing."

His tone was normal, Zhao Yilin thought. Perhaps she treated her dream as reality, but she and Qi Xiaoyan didn't have anything to do with each other that night.

Zhao Yilin had asked ahead of time. From A City to C County, they would take a ten-hour train to H City, then take the long distance bus to C County. When they reached there, the school would send a car to pick her up.

"Hmm, we will have to delay them for two days on the road." Zhao Yilin was lying on the soft bed of the train, looking at the map on her mobile phone. The scenery outside the window was like an endless scroll painting. At first, she was enjoying sitting by the bed, but after a few hours, there were no other mountains, fields, and small villages that she occasionally passed by.

When she opened the APP to read the book, the phone rang.

Seeing Huo Yelin's call, Zhao Yelin sat up from the bed. Her heart was beating fast as she looked at the screen on her phone.

"Hello."

"Where are you?" Huo Yelin's voice was still low.

Zhao Yilin looked around and smiled. "I'm on the train."

There was a moment of silence. "Why didn't you tell me when you went out?"

Huo Yelin still had a domineering look on his face. Zhao Youlan straightened her pillow and lay down on her side. "I'm on leave right now. I don't need to report to anyone where I'm going."

"Where are you?" asked Zhao Yilin as the phone buzzed. It sounds noisy. "

Huo Yelin said, "I'm your superior, so I don't need to tell you where I'm going."

"Oh!" Zhao Yilin clenched her teeth and gestured at her phone to shoot.

"Just you alone?"

Zhao Yilin quickly put away her hands and snickered. "Yeah, I'd like to go on a vacation by myself."

"Be careful." Huo Yelin's tone was one of rare gentleness. Zhao Yelin felt her heart warm up as she said, "Mm, you take good care of yourself too."

People were passing by the train station in A city. Huo Yelin stood in the middle of the ticket hall and put away the phone. The assistant, Dou Dou, quickly came over and said, "Director Huo, the ticket has been bought."

"Mm, let's go."

When Zhao Yilin arrived at City H, she first went to the bus station to buy a one-thirty in the afternoon ticket. There were still more than two hours before the train left, so she decided to find a place to eat first.

Zhao Yilin rushed back to the bus station in a hurry. She found that, as the rain was too heavy, all the buses heading to County C were cancelled after 1 p.m. in order to avoid danger.

Ah!" Looking at the wet ticket in her hand, Zhao Yilin almost wanted to cry.

At this moment, the ticket office was filled with passengers who wanted to change their tickets. Zhao Yilin walked to the back of the crowd with her suitcase and looked around, not knowing if she could squeeze in.

With one hand holding the suitcase, she pushed her way into the crowd. In front of her were the old woman with the red bundle and the old man with the blue woven bag.

"I'm sorry," she said, "but I need to go there first. I'm in a hurry to change my ticket."

With so many people around, if she didn't change her ticket today, she probably wouldn't be able to leave tomorrow.

The grandma turned around and glanced at him, "What are you shouting for, you're the only one who buys a ticket!" "At such a young age, you can't let the old man take over!"

The woman's face was rosy and she spoke with confidence. She was carrying two large bags and did not even gasp for breath, as if she was better off than her.

Zhao Yilin opened her mouth, but she swallowed her words back. However, she was trying even harder to move forward. She didn't want to go there for nothing.

At this moment, a very gentle male voice sounded in his ear.

"Beauty, are you going to C County as well?" The middle-aged man took the initiative to come over and talk to him.

Zhao Yilin saw his kind smile, so she nodded in agreement.

The man looked outside and said, "The rain will probably continue until tomorrow morning. Those who can't buy a ticket today won't be able to leave tomorrow."

"Isn't that so?" Zhao Yilin was getting more and more anxious. She pushed forward again.

The man smiled and said, "Is this your first time here? People who have already bought tickets will automatically switch to cars at the same time period the next day, without having to change tickets. "

Zhao Yilin was stunned, but quickly retracted her arm and asked, "Really? You just need to take your ticket tomorrow? "

The man walked to her side, looked down at the ticket in her hand, and said, "Yes, you can come with me tomorrow." He took out his ticket.

Zhao Yilin took a look and saw that it was the same ticket she had bought at one-thirty in the afternoon.

"That's great, thank you. If you hadn't told me, I would still be here."

"Nothing." The man reached out his hand in a very gentlemanly manner and said, "I'm Li Xingxin, who came from A City to attend the elementary school's inauguration ceremony."

Zhao Yilin looked at his hand and asked, "Is this Hope Junior High from Jintian Village?"

Li Xingxin asked with some surprise, "Yes, how did you know?"

Zhao Yilin smiled as she held his hand and said, "I'm here to attend the ceremony as well. It's nice to meet you too."

Outside of the bus stop's ticket sales building, the rain was falling in sheets and the sound of falling rain was coming from the eaves. Zhao Yilin and Li Xingxin stood under the eaves and spoke with voices that were higher than usual.

Li Xingxin said, "The rain won't stop falling. Let's just go. When we reach the main road outside, we should be able to get a taxi."

Zhao Yilin looked up at the cloudy sky and nodded.

Li Xingxin stretched out his hand and said, "Come, grab my hand. Don't fall down."

"Thank you." Zhao Yilin grabbed his hand and they ran into the rain.

After only a few seconds, her clothes were soaked by the rainwater. The sticky, earthy rain poured down her forehead and into her eyes. Zhao Yilin had to wipe her face to see the road ahead.

Her suitcase was very heavy and she was wearing high heels, so she couldn't move it at all.

Li Xingxin brought her case over just in time for her to carry his arm. Just like that, the two of them stumbled to the side of the main road.

Because of the bad weather, it was hard to get a taxi, so the two stood in the rain for about twenty minutes before they got a ride.

Li Xingxin opened the door first and let Zhao Yilin in. He then put the two suitcases into the trunk.

Zhao Yilin asked, "Master, are there any better hotels around here?"

The master said, "Yes! Sanjiang Hotel. "

"Hotel? Is there no hotel? "

The master turned around and said impatiently, "Do you want to go to a nearby hotel or a distant hotel?"

Zhao Yilin realized that she had asked the wrong question, so she smiled and said, "Let's go to a nearby hotel."

They had been tired all the way, so it would be convenient for them to pick a nearby hotel to ride in tomorrow.

As the car started, a tractor like sound rang out. Li Xingxin sat in the car and wiped off the rain on his face.

Zhao Yilin handed him a tissue, "Wipe your face. Thank you so much for today, otherwise I'd still be waiting in the passenger station."

"You're welcome. It's not easy for a girl like you to go out."
