Chapter 388 Service Area

Yi Wenna's arrival made Fang Xinlei, who had been taking a nap with her eyes closed, open them.

She looked at her roommate with some confusion: "What are you doing?"

Yi Wenna put her bag aside: "Those of us in the same dorm should sit together."

"you……"

Fang Xinlei was surprised by Yi Wenna's idea.

Their relationship couldn't be described as that of sisters; at the very least, it could be described as that of bitter enemies.

In the dormitory, everyone usually pretends to be mute if possible, avoiding any unfriendly communication.

Although Fang Xinlei has recently been influenced by Jin Ping'an, she has begun to gradually change her way of dealing with people.

But they are still far from reconciling.

There were empty seats in front of her, yet she insisted on going to the back. Fang Xinlei really couldn't understand what kind of nonsense Yi Wenna was up to.

Unable to figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it and closed her eyes to continue sleeping.

Yi Wenna put her handbag down and suddenly turned her head.

On the other side, Chen Zili couldn't avoid her gaze and met her eyes. He then awkwardly turned his head to look out of the car, his expression quite unnatural.

"Humph!"

Yi Wenna snorted and closed her eyes to sleep, just like Fang Xinlei.

What else can you do in this situation if you don't sleep? Just watch Ai Liang and Ye Qing sitting together and feel hurt?

After Yi Wenna calmed down, Chen Zili revealed a regretful look.

However, he discovered that Yi Wenna was actually quite pleasing to the eye when she was quiet...

………………

Both Yichen Hotel and Nevada Experimental High School are located in the central area of ​​Nevada, a long way from the junior high school Ai Liang previously attended.

Ai Liang was too lazy to go home, since that home was more like a hotel to this family anyway.

Neither Ai Zhe nor Feng Yue ever stayed in one place.

Ai Liang lives there simply because it's close to the school and convenient for commuting.

Now that I've graduated, there's even less reason for me to go back.

At the current speed, we probably won't arrive at the hotel until the afternoon.

The students on the bus were initially quite excited, but that excitement gradually cooled down.

Perhaps it was because they saw someone sleeping, or perhaps they saw some classmates using mobile apps to practice their foreign language listening skills.

I don't know when it started, but no one in the car spoke loudly anymore.

If anything, it was just a few words whispered to the roommate next to him.

Around noon, the car stopped at a service area.

The students got off the bus one by one to take care of their food, drink, and other needs.

Ai Liang bought two steamed buns at a snack shop next to the supermarket, then went to the supermarket's rest area, took out her phone, and planned to listen to music to pass the time.

Just then, Yang Xingyue made a video call.

Ai Liang glanced around. Both shifts rushed towards the service area restaurant, while he remained alone in the supermarket's rest area.

So he put on his headphones and answered the phone.

Yang Xingyue in the picture is clearly in the classroom.

After the call connected, Yang Xingyue didn't immediately ask Ai Liang how long it would take to arrive. Instead, she inquired about his lunch: "Have you had lunch yet?"

"Just arrived at the service area."

Ai Liang pointed her phone camera at the steamed bun.

At this moment, Yue Qihua squeezed into the video with a furrowed brow: "You should at least buy a few more. These buns are so small that even I, a girl, feel hungry, let alone a boy."

"I ate a lot this morning, so I'm not very hungry now," Ai Liang explained.

Yue Qihua crossed her arms, giving him a look that said, "Alright, stop explaining. You won't listen anyway."

Yang Xingyue tugged at Yue Qihua's clothes with her small hand, signaling her not to get too excited.

Then, changing the subject, he asked about Ai Liang's location: "Ai Liang, where are you? How much longer until you get to the hotel?"

Ai Liang mentioned in the five-person group last night that the school bus would depart at nine o'clock in the morning.

It's already noon, we should be in Nevada territory by now, right?
"I'll probably get off the bus around 3 p.m., but that depends on the traffic around the hotel."

After saying that, Ai Liang took a bite of the steamed bun.

I frowned as soon as I took a bite; it tasted like something left over from yesterday.

He simply stopped eating and threw the food into the trash can.

"Around three or four in the afternoon..."

Yang Xingyue started calculating the time when school would end in the afternoon, hoping to meet him during that time.

But she suddenly realized that she still didn't know where Ai Liang had been staying these past few days.

"By the way, I still don't know which hotel your school has arranged for you to stay at."

Ai Liang casually replied, "Yi Chen is quite close to Neihua Experimental Middle School."

Upon hearing the name Yichen, Yang Xingyue's eyes lit up: "Huh?! Really? The apartment Huahua and I live in is near the Yichen Hotel! It's only about 700 or 800 meters away!"

The sudden good news overwhelmed Yang Xingyue, and she subconsciously said, "There's still a guest room in my and Huahua's apartment. Why don't you come stay with us for the next few days, Ai Liang... Ouch, that hurts!"

Before Yang Xingyue could finish speaking, she received a chop to the head from Yue Qihua.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yue Qihua shouted, her face flushed red.

She explained in a slightly hurried tone, "Ai Liang's school must have booked rooms in advance. How is he supposed to explain this to the teachers?"

So you don't mind me living at your place?
Ai Liang discerned Yue Qihua's attitude towards her from those words.

Yue Qihua seemed to realize what she had said, biting her lip and blushing.

This time, however, she didn't leave the screen as usual, but instead mustered up the courage to look Ai Liang in the eye.

Looking at Yue Qihua's darting eyes, Ai Liang subconsciously looked away.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

In the end, Yue Qihua was the first to give up, slumping onto the table and burying her face in her arms.

Only a pair of bright eyes, tinged with a hint of resentment, were visible, staring intently at her phone.

I feel like if I put her in the water right now, she would definitely blow out a string of bubbles like a goldfish.

Seeing this, Ai Liang skillfully changed the subject: "By the way, isn't today the weekend? Why are you still at school?"

Having recovered from the pain, Yang Xingyue rubbed her head and said, "Our school actually takes this joint exam quite seriously. The top classes have to have extra classes on Saturdays and Sundays."

This is equivalent to moving next Monday's and Friday's classes to these two days... We have a day off tomorrow, Ai Liang, are you free tomorrow?

"I'm not sure yet, but I heard that tomorrow afternoon, the teachers are going to explain the practice exam papers to us in the hotel, and we'll most likely be prohibited from leaving."

Ai Liang thought for a moment and continued, "I'm a local from Nevada, so I don't need to listen to the explanation of the exam questions. It shouldn't be difficult to tell the teacher that I'm leaving the hotel."

Yang Xingyue's face lit up with joy, but Yue Qihua next to her reminded her, "The exam is the day after tomorrow, let's get together after the exam, and Friday is Xingyue's and my birthday."
