Xiang Hailan was crying when she came out of the office. Li Wei happened to come over to ask about her situation, and the two met at the end of the corridor.

When Xiang Hailan saw Li Wei, he couldn't help but vent his grievances on Li Wei: "I've completely humiliated myself today. She is the oldest one. It's fun to torment people like this."

Li Wei hurriedly pulled Xiang Hailan out of the corridor and into the small garden below. Xiang Hailan's tears were not yet dry.

Xiang Hailan was still complaining: "You just came to see my jokes and humiliate me."

Li Wei said: "Okay, you've even blamed me. Didn't you say you want to give it a try? There are some requirements for majors here."

"The way that woman looks at people is really unpleasant. What qualifications does she have..."

Li Wei interrupted her: "Of course she still has the qualifications. It is said that she was once a national first-class dancer, and then she quit the dance troupe after she injured her leg, so please give her some respect."

Xiang Hailan wanted to say something, but found that nothing could be said. Because of this matter, Xiang Hailan didn't want to talk to Li Wei for several days. This continued until the final exam. Xiang Hailan found a job as a shopping guide in Carrefour and became a left-behind employee.

The day after the exam, Tang Shiyun called and asked Li Wei to come over and play.

Li Wei booked a train ticket for the next day, but she rejected Tang Shiyun's invitation.

Among those left in the dormitory was Sun Xiaofang. Sun Xiaofang found a job as a busboy in a restaurant and could earn 300 yuan a month. Li Wei packed up his toothpaste, toothbrush, and towels and put them into his handbag. Then he put the two long skirts on the bed and a wide-brimmed straw hat into his luggage. Li Wei counted his documents and cash. I also brought my walkman and camera.

On the train at 10:30 tomorrow morning, she will go to Beihai to stay for a week.

After packing everything, she waited for tomorrow to come.

It’s my first time traveling alone, and I feel a little excited. I hope it will be a pleasant journey.

There were only three of them in the dormitory at night, and it was much quieter than usual. However, the weather was muggy and Li Wei couldn't sleep. She woke up at just seven o'clock the next day.

After washing up and having breakfast, she headed to the train station carrying her big luggage bag.

Li Wei has taken the train alone several times, but this trip alone has a unique meaning for her.

She dragged her luggage bag through the checkpoint and entered the waiting room to wait for the bus. The rolling red screen on the wall is informing everyone of the departure times and stopping platforms of various trains.

It was the students' holiday and there were many people in the waiting room. Li Wei found a remote place to sit down. Looking at the red scroll bar, the station radio station is also broadcasting real-time train information.

There was still half an hour before the departure time, and there was already a long queue at the ticket gate. Li Wei had to pick up his luggage and move forward.

"Are your classmates going home?"

A girl standing in front suddenly turned her head to look at Li Wei and started talking to Li Wei.

Li Wei nodded.

The girl glanced at the ticket in Li Wei's hand again, and said with a smile: "I'm two stops ahead of you. It's still the same carriage, the seats aren't next to each other, right?"

Li Wei then asked the girl what seat she was in. She took a look and saw that her seat was No. 75 and the girl's was No. 74. Sure enough, they are right next to each other.

"Which university are you from?"

Li Wei said: "I'm from Nanyin."

"Oh, it's far away from our school. I'm from the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Both were college students, and the two quickly started chatting, but Li Wei was always on guard, asking three questions and answering one, and was not very interested.

The girl is one grade above Li Wei and will be a junior in college in the fall. She is short, dark and thin. Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a white short-sleeved T-shirt, and red knee-length pants. On her feet were a pair of open-toed sandals. He looks like a middle school student, not like he will be a junior in college soon.

The time spent chatting with someone passed quickly, and it was soon time to check in.

Everyone passed through the ticket gate one by one, and then went to the platform. That girl has been with Li Wei all the time.

When they got on the bus, Li Wei's seat was by the aisle, and the girl's seat was by the window.

After getting in the car, Li Wei put on headphones and listened to music, and the girl also took out a book to read. Sitting opposite were two men, around thirty years old, speaking with foreign accents. I started smoking as soon as I came up.

After they finished smoking, they took out a deck of playing cards and wanted to play cards with Li Wei and the others.

The girl next to him readily agreed, thinking that the time would go by faster if he had some fun, so he told Li Wei that they would play cards together. Li Wei was not willing to do so, but they forced him into joining the group.

"I'm not good at playing cards." Li Wei knows dominoes, Shuanglu, and leaf tiles. She has never been exposed to mahjong now. She has played cards several times under the leadership of her roommates, but she is not proficient. ,

They played the simplest card game, and the man opposite them chatted with them while playing cards, caring about where their hometown was, what major they studied, and even how old they were.

Li Wei ignored it and seemed a little cold. However, the girl beside her didn't show any concern at all. She told everyone about her situation. Li Wei gave her a few winks secretly, but she still didn't notice it.

Time goes by pretty quickly when we have some fun, and the car won't arrive until two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. In the afternoon, Li Wei felt that he had to get up and stretch his legs after sitting for too long.

After finally staying up until dark, Li Wei ate a box of lunch provided in the car for dinner. The food was too salty, so she drank a lot of water.

It was swaying, and many people in the carriage were dozing off. In the second half of the night, Li Wei couldn't stand it anymore, so he lay on the table to rest with his head next to the girl next to him. In her daze, she was awakened by the urge to urinate. Before Li Wei opened her eyes, she suddenly felt a pair of big hands coming towards her, touching her arms through her thin clothes. The target was to hit her chest, but Li Wei didn't stretch out. She grabbed the mischievous big hand with her backhand. Her long nails came in handy, and she scratched the back of the hand a few times. The man quickly took his hand back in pain.

The girl sleeping next to her changed direction and faced the window. Is she awake? Li Wei didn't think about it in detail. She got up and went to the toilet. When she came back, she happened to meet the flight attendant and asked to change seats.

The attendant told her that there were still two seats in the sleeper car. Li Wei paid the fare without saying a word, dragged her belongings and changed cars.

Lying on the hard bed, with the roof of the car no more than twenty centimeters above her head, and swaying, she could finally sleep peacefully.

After catching up on her sleep in the car, it was already past nine in the morning when she woke up the next day, and it was already 2:10 in the afternoon when the car pulled into the station. She got off the bus and had to change to another short-distance train.

When she finally arrived at Beihai, it was already nine o'clock at night.
