Song Tan's Notes

This was Qiaoqiao's first time being alone at a high-speed rail station.

He was a little nervous and a little apprehensive.

But the backpack he was holding tightly gave him a sense of security, and he stood tall and strode forward.

There were very few people queuing at the turnstile at night. He placed his backpack on it in order and waited for the security check.

The young lady on duty was very attentive. When the instrument swept past him, he subconsciously winked his clear eyes at her and then gave her a sweet smile.

The other person paused for a moment, then blushed bright red and said hurriedly in a low voice, "Okay, go down."

After saying that, she covered her face with her hands, looking extremely regretful.

Qiaoqiao was a little confused. She reached out and picked up the backpack from the conveyor belt, then looked at the strange-looking young lady.

Little did they know that the person felt extremely remorseful about it after get off work.

"So sweet, so sweet! You have no idea how sweet he is. I've never seen such a sweet younger brother before! Then he smiled at me, and I told him to get off—why didn't I ask for his number? Is it because I have professional ethics? I'm not normal anymore in this lousy class..."

She burst into tears and gave her friends a long rant, and in the end, the two working-class people hugged each other and let go of their resentment.

After all, with so much work to do, even if you have a boyfriend, you probably won't have the energy to date.

Qiao Qiao had no idea how outstanding her temperament and appearance had become after she left the fairy sister and Lu Chuan.

After all, most men these days are handsome and aware of it. If they have even a little bit of good looks, they're either greasy and unappealing or they dress better than women.

A clean-cut, well-behaved, and oblivious younger brother like him wouldn't even be able to get into elementary school even if he broke the law!
Anyway!

In the waiting room at night, his tall, well-proportioned figure and fair, handsome face stood out from the crowd.

But Jojo knew nothing about this.

He sat in the waiting room, waiting safely for his ticket to be checked, and observed his surroundings with great interest.

Until someone sat down next to him and looked at him.

Qiaoqiao looked back curiously and saw a young girl sitting next to her. Her brown hair was a little messy, her eyes were slightly red, and she only had a small handbag on her.

She gripped the bag strap tightly, and seeing that Qiaoqiao was still quietly watching her, she whispered, "Um... I lost my phone... could I borrow your phone to make a call?"

Before leaving, Song Tan gave her several instructions, one of which was that if someone came to borrow a cell phone or other items, she should take them to a nearby staff member.

If there are no staff members available, ask the other party to give you the number, and then dial it yourself...

Song Tan didn't teach Qiao Qiao not to refuse.

Firstly, Qiao Qiao is actually quite strong and can easily protect herself; secondly, nowadays, a mobile phone is like half of a person's life. Without a mobile phone, many people are unable to move an inch. If such a critical moment really comes, it wouldn't be a problem to borrow one.

After all, he can afford the loss of his phone.

It's worth noting that he uses a different phone for his live streams than the one he uses daily. Besides chat apps, the apps he uses most often are homework help apps and question-solving apps.

These adults, who have absolutely no privacy, are the kind of boring adults that kids with smartwatches wouldn't bother communicating with.
In short, there was no important data on his phone, and his friends in his contacts all knew that Qiaoqiao would never face the problem of borrowing money.

Even if you lose your phone, at most you can just get a replacement SIM card and log back into your two learning app accounts.

In short, he remembered all of these.

However, the girl opposite looked like she was about to break from nervousness.

Qiao Qiao hesitated visibly for a moment, and just as the other person shrank back, preparing to get up, she deftly handed over the phone:

"Here you go, I have twenty minutes left to check tickets, you can play for twenty minutes."

The innocence and naivety in his voice were still quite evident, but the girl was too nervous to notice.

She took the phone almost with both hands, her eyes reddening again: "Thank you, thank you..." She was genuinely nervous. There weren't many people in the waiting room at night, and very few single girls. Logically, she should have asked a girl for help, but the thought of borrowing her phone made her hesitate.

Finally, she turned her attention to the staff at the high-speed rail station, but they were busy checking tickets, so she gave up again.

Until Qiaoqiao came in, she sat down calmly.

For some reason, the girl felt like she could be a little bolder...

She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the dial pad, but her fingers stopped after only three numbers were dialed.

Qiaoqiao noticed that she seemed a bit lost in thought, so she looked over curiously.
"Why don't you call? Don't worry about the phone bill, I have enough."

The girl said awkwardly, "I forgot my friend's phone number..."

How normal.

These days, you either make video calls or directly access your contacts; dialing with a dial pad feels like something from a past life.

She did remember her parents' phone number, but telling them about losing her phone while out and about would definitely cause them stress again.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then handed the phone back, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank you, but never mind, I'll just get on the bus soon anyway, so I won't call."

Qiaoqiao exclaimed "Ah!"

After thinking for a moment, I asked her again, "How did you lose your phone?"

The girl became even more embarrassed when she talked about it: "Isn't there a lakeside forest park here? I went to ride the rubber duck boats, and when I got ashore, they were gone..."

It wasn't stolen, and we don't know where in the lake it was lost. The phone isn't very valuable, and we'd be embarrassed to ask someone to go through the trouble of searching for it in this sweltering heat…

Fortunately, I'd already bought my return ticket, so now I can just swipe my ID card to enter the station...

but!
Ugh!
Qiaoqiao became interested: "A rubber duck boat? Is it fun?"

His attention wasn't on his phone, which relieved the girl. She then thought about it:
"It's kind of fun. After all, the lake is very large and the environment is beautiful... It's just too sunny, and you have to wade in the water yourself..."

She was hanging out with her friends in Yuncheng, and her phone, which was in the pocket of her sun-protective clothing, disappeared while she was wading in the puddles. In the end, her friends had to take her to the station…

Qiaoqiao exclaimed "Ah!" and also wanted to buy a rubber duck boat for her family.

But then he looked at the girl again: "Did you bring any money? How will you get home after you get off the high-speed train? Is someone picking you up?"

These three questions left the other party speechless.

Okay, then she frantically rummaged through her bag: "My friend withdrew 200 yuan from the nearby bank for me..."

Taking a taxi back should be fine.

Qiaoqiao laughed.

Although no one knew why he was laughing, the girl opposite him saw it and suddenly slumped her shoulders, as if losing her phone wasn't such a big deal.

He then removed the braided phone strap from his neck, opened the back cover of his phone, and removed the buckle connecting the strap as well.
"for you."

"Huh?" The girl looked confused. "For me?"

She doesn't even have a cell phone anymore, so what use is this cell phone strap to her? Is she going to hang it around her neck as a decoration?
Qiaoqiao said seriously, "It's too easy to lose your phone if you put it in your pocket in the summer. This rope is very sturdy, so I'll give it to you, sister. That way, you can hang it up as soon as you get a new phone."

"Now I don't have to worry about going out anymore."

girl:……

Her expression was a little strange. She hesitated as she accepted the colorful braided phone strap that Qiaoqiao earnestly handed her, feeling both touched and unsure what to say. (End of Chapter)
