The first to tease is the one who receives

The journey home always seems to be extra long, because I miss you so much and look forward to it so much that even the passage of time is keenly aware of it. Every minute and every second passes by slowly before my eyes, so that even the short journey becomes unbearable.

Luo Huaiyao had this feeling every time he went home. He had clearly been looking out the window for a long time, but when he looked at the time, only a dozen minutes had passed. That annoying feeling made him always unable to help but find something to do in the car, such as going to the toilet, eating, or playing games...

But this time, perhaps because his body and mind were filled with another thing, time passed exceptionally quickly. While he was in a daze, the rumbling sound of the train gradually became gentler until it became silent.

The train broadcast "The next stop is Nancheng Station. Passengers getting off the train, please prepare your luggage in advance and get off from the front door of the train" has been broadcast three times in a row. The rustling sound in the carriage is getting louder and louder. People are carrying luggage, pushing suitcases, and talking. The train, which had been quiet for a while, suddenly became lively again.

Luo Huaiyao was still staring out the window, but although his eyes were imprinted with the crowded scene of the platform at the moment, his thoughts had already flown away to who knows where else. As for what was on his mind, perhaps only he himself knew.

"Young man?" The aunt next to her had closed her eyes to rest. When she opened her eyes and was about to drink some water, she found that Luo Huaiyao, who had told her he was going to South City, was still sitting steadily in his seat. The enthusiastic aunt immediately became anxious, "Oh my! Why don't you get off the bus?!"

Seeing that Luo Huaiyao was still in a daze and didn't realize that he was about to miss his stop, the aunt pushed his arm vigorously and said anxiously: "Young man, if you don't get off, the bus will drive away!"

"Ah? What...ah!" Stunned by his aunt's push, Luo Huaiyao's face turned pale instantly after he reacted! Damn! He was going to miss his stop!
After hurriedly thanking the aunt, Luo Huaiyao took down his suitcase, put on his schoolbag and started to walk out. However, the people who were getting on the train were already blocked in the aisle. Luo Huaiyao had to move the suitcase against the flow of people and make room for the people coming in. It took him a lot of effort to get to the door of the carriage. He was also lucky that he was able to rush to the platform at the last moment before the train door closed.

"Depend on!"

Luo Huaiyao, who was panting while holding the suitcase, couldn't help but curse. There were still many people on the platform at this time, and passers-by who heard his voice cast their eyes over. Blushing at the disapproving looks of the crowd, Luo Huaiyao pushed the suitcase and slid away.

Early July is the peak period for college holidays. The ticket exit of Nancheng Railway Station is crowded with young people carrying luggage. Fortunately, the station has air conditioning, otherwise they would have suffocated in the crowded crowd.

Luo Huaiyao had already sweated a lot after running over. Even with the air conditioning blowing, it couldn't resist his anger.

It’s all Gu Zhun’s fault!
If he hadn’t replied to my message, would I have been thinking about it for so long?

The long queue moved forward little by little. Although there were many people, the ticket checking and exiting procedures were simple, so the speed of the queues moving forward one after another was not slow. When Luo Huaiyao wiped his sweat, it was his turn to exit the station.

Luo Huaiyao took out the train ticket from his pocket and was about to put it into the gate after the person in front of him walked through it, but he saw a hand rising up and stuffed his ticket in faster than him. Then the man carrying the suitcase squeezed past Luo Huaiyao and passed through the gate in an instant.

Luo Huaiyao: ???

What the hell?! The anger that had been extinguished was suddenly ignited again. Luo Huaiyao quickly took a look at the other person's clothes. He saw that the man was wearing black trousers with a white T-shirt, a black baseball cap on his head, a black backpack on his back, and a black suitcase in his hands. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in the crowd.

Luo Huaiyao silently recited the other person's clothing characteristics and hurriedly stuffed his train ticket in to check in and exit the station. After passing through the gate, he dragged his suitcase and began to look for the idiot who had just cut in line with him, but he searched the crowd for a long time and couldn't find him.

It was not until his mother started asking on WeChat whether he had found out that Luo Huaiyao gave up the idea of ​​settling the score with that idiot.

Forget it, he won’t bother with people without quality!
But no matter what, he felt that this journey was extremely "unlucky". First, the train almost missed its stop, and someone cut in line during the journey. Now...

Haha——Luo Huaiyao was dragging his suitcase under the scorching sun, speechless. He couldn’t even get a damn taxi!

Although Nancheng is called a city, it is actually a small county town in the 28th tier. Online ride-hailing is not well developed here. There are taxis, but they mainly run in the urban area. There are usually many vehicles near the railway station, but now it is the peak holiday season. As soon as the taxis arrive at the intersection in front of the railway station, they are driven away by other people gathered on the street. Therefore, Luo Huaiyao stood here in the sun but could only see the green figure that flashed by.

Tsk… Luo Huaiyao squinted at the sun. He was so stingy that he came to take a taxi, but there was not even one? Was he really going to have to spend dozens of minutes on a crowded bus in the scorching sun to get home, sweating profusely and feeling nauseous?

"Young man, are you going or not?" Luo Huaiyao was still struggling in his heart when he saw a fresh green car stopped in front of him. The driver rolled down the window and smiled very warmly.

"Ask me?" Luo Huaiyao turned his head to look at the crowded crowd around him and pointed at his nose with some suspicion.

"Yes, it's you. Do you want to go?" the driver asked again.

"Let's go! Let's go!" The feeling of this unexpected blessing was so great that after being surprised, Luo Huaiyao quickly put on a smile and happily put the suitcase into the trunk of the taxi.

"I was the one who waved just now, wasn't I?"

"Why is this master like this?"

"Who is this person?"

There was a burst of discussion among the people who were still waiting. Luo Huaiyao knew they were talking about him but pretended not to hear it. Who cares who waved his hand? It was the driver who wanted to take him, not him who cut in line and grabbed the car. What's the point of being so jealous!
"Let's go, Master, to Yao Village."

The air conditioning in the taxi was very strong, and Luo Huaiyao's heat was instantly calmed down, and his mood also improved.

It seems that he is not very unlucky today...

It was much faster to take a taxi. It took more than ten minutes to reach the intersection of Luo Huaiyao's house. He took out some change from his pocket and handed it to the driver.

"Fifteen for you."

"Ah? Fifteen?" The master was surprised and confiscated it. Luo Huaiyao's heart sank immediately. Would the price go up? But the master took a five-dollar bill from his hand and said with a smile, "Just buy a bottle of water, and don't use the rest."

Luo Huaiyao: ???

What's going on? Did this master come to earth to cultivate immortality?

"How can that be possible?" Luo Huaiyao shook his head. "I often take taxis. It costs 15 taks to get from the train station to Yao Village. It's so hot today. You took the initiative to pick me up at the train station. It doesn't matter if you charge more. How can you charge less?"

"Oh!" Seeing that Luo Huaiyao was holding the paper ticket and refused to get off the car, the driver could only say helplessly, "I have already received the money!"

"Just now, a young man stopped my car at an intersection in front of the train station and asked me to take you home! He has already paid!"

"Ah?" Luo Huaiyao was confused.

The driver didn't say anything more. He urged him to get out of the car and drove away with his foot on the accelerator.

Luo Huaiyao stood at the intersection with his luggage, completely dumbfounded. Someone had paid for him? Once he realized this, his heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Luo Huaiyao hurriedly took out his cell phone to make a call. After the ring rang twice, the phone was picked up and a familiar voice came from the receiver. "Yaoyao?" Gu Zhun's voice was lazy and a little nasal, as if he had just woken up.

Luo Huaiyao paused, and replied pretentiously: "What are you doing? There has been no news all afternoon."

He subconsciously forgot the fact that he asked Gu Zhun not to disturb him, and began to question Gu Zhun from the commanding heights of love. He thought Gu Zhun would make some excuses, but he didn't expect Gu Zhun to answer directly: "I'm thinking about you."

Luo Huaiyao: ...

He curled his lips, it was so greasy, but his mood became even more excited. Even standing in the sun... Forget it, standing in the sun was still too hot. Luo Huaiyao held the phone in one hand and pushed the suitcase with the other, and began to walk towards the shade.

The lush branches and leaves of the treetops blocked the scorching light, and Luo Huaiyao continued to ask: "Miss me?"

"You came to South City because you missed me?"

"Nancheng?" Gu Zhun on the other end was puzzled. "Where is Nancheng?"

Luo Huaiyao rolled his eyes: Still pretending!
"Are you still pretending? The driver told me everything. He said someone helped me get a taxi and paid for it. It wasn't you?" Luo Huaiyao curled his lips and unceremoniously exposed Gu Zhun's lie.

"Take a taxi? Pay? Who helped you take a taxi?" Gu Zhun seemed to suddenly realize something and kept asking, "You went to South City? Why did you go to South City? Who helped you take a taxi? A man or a woman?"

Luo Huaiyao: ...

Gu Zhun's tone was too sincere. He could smell the anxiety and sourness through the phone screen. Luo Huaiyao was stunned for a moment. If it wasn't Gu Zhun, then who was it?
"You really didn't come to Nancheng?" Luo Huaiyao hesitated. Could it really not be Gu Zhun?

"I didn't go there. I don't even know where that is." Gu Zhun's attitude was very serious, and he didn't seem to be lying. Luo Huaiyao's heart, which had been beating with excitement, suddenly fell to the bottom.

Not him, he didn't come.

Damn! If he didn't come, then he didn't come. He doesn't even know where his hometown is. What kind of boyfriend is he? ! Luo Huaiyao, whose attention shifted to another line, ignored the "Hello" on the other end and hung up the phone angrily.

Damn Gu Zhun, if you care about him again, Luo Huaiyao will be a pig!

"Hey? Xiao Luo? Why are you standing at this intersection?" An old man who was passing by on a bicycle asked in surprise when he saw Luo Huaiyao.

"Ah... I'm calling my mom. I didn't bring my keys with me and I'm afraid she..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a surprised shout from behind him.

"Lolo!"

Luo Huaiyao turned around and saw a woman wearing low-heeled leather shoes, a silk cheongsam, a bun, with a graceful figure and a pretty face running towards him.

The woman rushed all the way to Luo Huaiyao, held his face and began to rub it frantically.

"Lolo baby, you've lost so much weight. Look at your little face... Oh, there's no flesh left. Mommy feels so bad!" Yao Meihua said that she felt bad, but the strength of her hand that pinched Luo Huaiyao's face was very strong at all.

She didn't let go until Luo Huaiyao cried out in pain.

The old man riding a bicycle nearby had already left. Yao Meihua, pulling the suitcase in one hand and holding Luo Huaiyao's hand in the other, walked towards the village with a proud look on her face.

Although it is called a village, it is actually more like a residential community. Yao Village is located on the edge of the southern urban area. Most of the houses in this area are small buildings built by the villagers themselves, but the roads and environment are planned like a residential community. However, it is more spacious than the residential community with high-rise buildings.

Almost everyone in Yao Village has the surname Yao, and nine out of ten people along the way are relatives, so the relationship between neighbors is relatively close. For example, the uncle Luo Huaiyao just met is the cousin of his grandfather's uncle.

They met many villagers on the way into the village. Every time Yao Meihua met someone, she would pull Luo Huaiyao aside to reminisce about the past. She would talk about how he was the top student in the class when he first entered the school, how he was always in the top few in every exam, how he received scholarships, and how he worked part-time to earn money to send money home. Luo Huaiyao was so proud of his look that it made his teeth jealous.

But he was also very happy to let his mother brag about it in the village.

Luo Huaiyao's mother's family was also a small wealthy family in Yao Village. A factory director had chosen her, but Yao Meihua chose the one she liked, Luo Jun, a retired soldier who was penniless at the time. When everyone else became a small wealthy family, Yao Meihua's family remained the same. Times have passed, and the small wealthy families of the past can only make ends meet now.

However, although his family conditions are average, Luo Huaiyao lives a happy life.

"Luo Jun! Our Luo Luo is back!" When Yao Meihua and Luo Huaiyao walked into the house, Luo Jun was walking out wearing an apron. Seeing the two of them, he nodded with a slight smile on his face.

"The food will be ready soon." But that smile looked uglier than crying.

Luo Huaiyao: ...

Even though he has been watching it for nineteen years, he still can't help but complain about his father's face, which is cold and serious, like a stinky board.

And every time this happens, his mother always sighs——

"Fortunately, you look like me." As expected, Ms. Yao Meihua adjusted the bun beside her ears, looking very cocky.

"Haha, yes." Luo Huaiyao nodded in agreement.

It is always more relaxing at home than anywhere else. Luo Huaiyao pulled his suitcase and went straight to the room on the second floor. After piling his things on the sofa next to him, he couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone to play games.

Just at this moment——

A "Ding Dong" sound came from the class group of Class 2, Grade 3.

[Yang Jie: Are all the students on holiday now? Do you want to get together? ]
