Chapter 8 I Really Don't Like Her Now
The next day, Chen Cheng was awakened by a sudden phone call.

When he opened his eyes, he still had some illusions that he could return to the future.

But what caught my eye was still the small, old bedroom.

He gave up resistance, accepted his fate, got up and walked out of the room.

My parents had already gone to work. Next to the phone was a hundred-yuan bill and a note: "Buy a ticket."

The old landline phone was still ringing, so he picked it up and asked, "Hello, who is it?"

"Have you decided how to get there, train or bus?"

The person on the other end of the phone was Wu Haoyang.

Chen Cheng asked him, "How do you say train, and how do you say bus?"

"Buses are fast, trains are slow."

Chen Cheng asked: "Which one is cheaper?"

Wu Haoyang said: "The train is cheap, and the slow train is even cheaper. It saves 30 yuan compared to the bus. But it takes longer. If you leave at 8:30 in the morning, you can arrive in six hours."

Chen Cheng said without hesitation: "Take a slow train, my time is worthless!"

For Chen Cheng, taking a slow train can save thirty yuan, so wasting two hours is reasonable.

Because I don’t have the ability to earn thirty dollars in two hours right now.

The slow train arrives in the afternoon and will not delay the admission procedures.

Wu Haoyang said with a smile: "I also want to take the slow train. When can we go buy tickets?"

Chen Cheng looked at the time and said, "Meet at the intersection in front of my house at 9:30."

"it is good!"

After eating at a roadside breakfast shop, Chen Cheng walked to the intersection on time.

Soon, Wu Haoyang also came over at lightning speed on the old Phoenix bike that his mother passed down to him.

Seeing Chen Cheng standing by the roadside, he walked up to him, squeaked the brakes, and asked curiously, "Where's your car?"

Chen Cheng really didn't expect that he would have to ride a bike to go out these days.

He jumped onto the back seat and said casually, "Let's just ride one for two. Let's go."

Wu Haoyang complained, "One person per trip, then you'll be the one carrying me when we get back."

After saying that, he quickly changed his tone: "Forget it, you treated me to dinner last night, I'll carry you back and forth today!"

"Then let's go."

Chen Cheng smiled, lit a cigarette, and enjoyed the breeze along the way, feeling quite contented.

The two of them arrived at the underpass near the station. They rode downhill at lightning speed, but halfway up the hill, Wu Haoyang stood up and pedaled.

While pedaling, he shouted: "Chen Cheng, please don't get off, I can climb up!"

Chen Cheng, cigarette in mouth and holding onto the seat with both hands, shouted incoherently, "Hold on steady, or you'll fall off."

At this time, a black Toyota Millennium Crown sedan drove up from behind the two of them.

The driver was a young man in his early twenties, looking nonchalant. He held the steering wheel with one hand and turned a new Motorola V70 rotary phone with the other.

Sitting in the passenger seat was a young beauty around 18 years old, with a stunning appearance and an expressionless face.

It was the cold-hearted girl Lu Youyou.

The young man was bored while driving. He put down his phone and put a cigarette in his mouth. Lu Youyou immediately reminded him, "Brother, you are not allowed to smoke in the car!"

The person driving the car was Lu Jianyuan, Dalu Youyou's three-year-old brother.

Lu Jianyuan bit the filter and muttered, "I don't want to smoke it, why not just put it in my mouth first?"

Lu Youyou ignored him and turned her head to look out the window. She just happened to catch a glimpse of a funny figure out of the corner of her eye.

Two boys were riding bicycles uphill. The one riding the bicycle stood up and pedaled hard, and the passenger was shaken back and forth.

She took another curious look, and when the car passed by, she recognized Chen Cheng in the back seat at a glance, and her eyes widened immediately.

Seeing Chen Cheng grinning while sitting in the car, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise a little.

At this time, Lu Jianyuan had already driven past.

Lu Youyou looked back at the two of them, and when the car drove up, he said to Lu Jianyuan, "Brother, stop by the roadside."

"What for?" Lu Jianyuan asked as he obediently pulled the car to the side.

Lu Youyou said nothing. She watched Wu Haoyang and Chen Chengchao pass by before saying to Lu Jianyuan, "Follow them and see where they go."

Lu Jianyuan asked her, "Do you know them?"

Lu Youyou nodded: "Classmate."

Lu Jianyuan couldn't understand why his sister, who was always cold and reserved, was following two male classmates.

However, he has always been the type of person who can resist blood repression, and he has always obeyed his sister since he was a child, so he drove obediently and followed.

Seeing the two of them turning into the square in front of the station, Lu Jianyuan asked her, "They're going to the train station, are you still following them?"

Lu Youyou remembered that during the farewell dinner, Chen Cheng and Wu Haoyang had said they would report on September 1st, so she said to Lu Jianyuan, "Brother, let's take the train to Jiangcheng on the 1st."

"Take the train?" Lu Jianyuan asked, "Aren't our parents going to drive us?"

Lu Jianyuan is three years older than Lu Youyou, but his academic performance is poor.

He failed to pass the admission line in the first year of the college entrance examination, but he repeated the year and scored 300 points. His father used a lot of connections to get him into a third-tier university.

It just so happened that both children were about to start school, so the family had planned to drive to Jiangcheng together.

Lu Youyou said at this time: "It's been a long time since I took a train. Let's take a train."

"Besides, I don't want my parents to send me to school. Mom will definitely come back crying."

Lu Jianyuan was not surprised and said, "I don't care. Go tell your parents."

"Okay." Lu Youyou nodded and said, "I'll go buy the tickets first."
-
When Chen Cheng and Wu Haoyang were queuing in the ticket office, they didn't know that Lu Youyou was queuing a few people at the back of the queue next to them.

Wu Haoyang stood behind Chen Cheng, took out two ten-yuan bills, handed them to him and said, "Please buy them for me."

Chen Cheng didn't take it, waved his hand and said, "You take it, I'll buy the ticket." Wu Haoyang subconsciously exclaimed, "Holy shit, how can this be possible!"

"I told you to take it." Chen Cheng said seriously: "Hey everyone, brothers, a ticket is nothing."

Wu Haoyang said, "I can't take advantage of you if we're good brothers. One ticket is equivalent to half a month's pocket money for me."

Chen Cheng remembered that Wu Haoyang's family conditions were average, his mother was unemployed, and his father was the only one who supported the family.

Although Chen Cheng doesn't have much money in his pocket, he still has enough money for now.

In my previous life, I forgot my loyalty for the sake of beauty, which really made this best friend feel disheartened.

In this life, Chen Cheng didn't boast about supporting him, but at least he would take care of him.

So, he said to Wu Haoyang, "We two brothers will depend on each other in Jiangcheng from now on, so we must support each other."

"hey-hey."

Wu Haoyang was very touched. He rubbed Chen Cheng's shoulders from behind with both hands and said with a smile, "Needless to say, we're brothers. When you get to Jiangcheng, if you want to pursue Lu Youyou, I'll go to her dormitory every day with a loud speaker and help you express my feelings for her!"

When Lu Youyou, who was not far away, heard this, she immediately became very nervous, wondering how Chen Cheng would answer.

Chen Cheng said calmly, "Like Lu Youyou, I don't want to date during college."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Wu Haoyang asked in surprise, "Why?"

Chen Cheng said seriously, "A wise man never falls in love. Have you heard of that?"

"No."

Wu Haoyang shook his head and asked him with a smile, "Are you saying this because you're afraid of being rejected by Lu Youyou?"

Chen Cheng shook his head: "No, I really don't like her now."

Wu Haoyang sighed, "Why? Lu Youyou is so pretty! You might not be able to find such a pretty girl in your school."

Chen Cheng perfunctorily said: "She is pretty, but she is too pure."

Wu Haoyang asked in confusion, "Isn't it good to be pure?"

Chen Cheng dismissed him, saying, "Pure is fine, but I like those who are a little more mature, a little plump, and, a little more of that."

Wu Haoyang pressed on: "What little bit?"

Chen Cheng said impatiently: "Children, don't ask about adults' affairs!"

Just then, it was Chen Cheng’s turn in the queue.

He said to the conductor, "Hello, I need two tickets for the September 1st train to Jiangcheng, a slow train."

The ticket seller said, "Ordinary train tickets, 19.5 yuan each."

"Okay." Chen Cheng handed over fifty yuan.

The tickets were printed out and the two turned and left the window.

Lu Youyou quickly turned her head and looked to the side, afraid of being recognized by the two men.

Watching the two people leave the ticket office, Lu Youyou's oval face was puffed up with anger, like a blown-up pufferfish.

"When did Chen Cheng become so annoying!"

At this time, it was her turn in the queue and she wanted to turn around and leave.

But for some unknown reason, he took a step forward, slipped a hundred yuan through the window, and said, "Hello, I'd like two tickets for the train to Jiangcheng on the 1st, a slow train."

The ticket seller said, "September 1st, 8:30 AM, two tickets, they're out."

With a few hissing sounds, the two tickets and the change were handed to Lu Youyou.

When Lu Youyou came out of the ticket office with a pouting face, Chen Cheng and Wu Haoyang had already ridden away on their bikes.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Lu Youyou was secretly angry.

She returned to the car in a depressed mood. Lu Jianyuan saw the ticket she bought and complained, "Why is it still a slow train?"

"What's wrong with the slow train? If you don't want to take it, I can just walk."

"I'm willing." Lu Jianyuan chuckled, "For you, it's okay for me to work harder."

"That's pretty much it!"

Lu Jianyuan's eyes rolled, and he leaned closer to ask Lu Youyou: "By the way, Youyou, how much money did your grandparents give you for going to college this time?"

Lu Youyou dodged to the side and asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"

"I don't mean anything else!"

Lu Jianyuan immediately said seriously, "When I went to school two years ago, they gave me a passbook with 100,000 yuan in it. I saw grandma give you a card the other day, and I was curious if that card also had that much money in it."

Lu Youyou said calmly, "Grandma just told me to keep it for myself, and she didn't say how much."

Lu Jianyuan nodded and said firmly, "It shouldn't be less than 100,000! Oh, by the way, do you have that card with you? How about we go check it out?"

"I didn't bring any." Lu Youyou said, "Besides, I don't need any money, so why would I bother checking? No matter how much I find out, you'll definitely be thinking about it every day."

"I don't, I don't know how to..."

Lu Jianyuan quickly waved his hands and said seriously, "I'm your brother. Who am I? Are you still worried about me?"

Lu Youyou shook her head gently: "I'm worried."

"you……"

Lu Jianyuan looked heartbroken, his mind racing, trying to think of other ways to trick him.

Before he could come up with a plan, Lu Youyou said, "To tell you the truth, I have already hidden the card. You don't know where I hid it, and you don't know the password either. Besides, I'm not planning to take it to Jiangcheng this time, so don't bother coveting it!"

"Look what you said."

Lu Jianyuan defended himself very seriously, "I'm not short of money! I just think that Jiangcheng is the provincial capital after all, it's a big place with a lot of opportunities. Why don't you bring your card with you? When there's any money-making opportunity, we can practice together!"

Lu Youyou looked at her ticket and said without looking up, "Lu Jianyuan, you're being a bit long-winded."

 Brothers, please spare some time to vote!
