Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

Chapter 17: Arrived Home (New Book, Please Collect~)

In Jiangcheng, Chen Chen was used to the bare look of the entire city. Suddenly seeing the vast expanse of green, he felt as if he had strayed into another world.

However, it was soon replaced by a warm and familiar emotion that surged like a tide and wrapped him tightly.

Finally, back to my hometown.

Only after traveling far away can you understand how warm it feels to return to your hometown.

Compared with Chen Chen's homesickness, Lin Muxi's face always had a calm expression.

Moreover, as the train approached its destination, her expression not only did not warm up at all, but instead became even more elusive and cold.

It’s strange. Shouldn’t I be happy to be home?

Chen Chen thought strangely.

But he didn't delve into it. After all, they weren't that familiar with each other. Asking too many questions would only make people feel annoyed.

At this moment, Lin Muxi was thinking in his heart that it would be better if the high-speed rail was delayed a little longer.

This way, I can spend more time with him.

Unfortunately, as night fell, the high-speed train arrived at Yuecheng North Station as scheduled at 20:12.

The suitcase has been taken outside by the flight attendant.

They just need to go to the designated location to get it.

The moment I stepped out of the car, I realized that the weather in Yuecheng was completely different from that in Jiangcheng.

The air here is filled with a completely different atmosphere, and the temperature is obviously much higher.

Fortunately, they changed into thick clothes before getting off the bus, so it wasn't that hot.

After Chen Chen found his suitcase, he came to Lin Muxi and took the initiative to say:

"Schoolgirl, let me help you with your suitcase."

"No thanks. I can do it myself."

"Oh, don't be polite. I only have one suitcase anyway, so it's no problem to take another one."

"Thank you~"

In this way, Chen Chen pushed his own suitcase with one hand and Lin Muxi's suitcase with the other hand.

He carried a black backpack on his back and walked in front of Lin Muxi like a mountain.

Lin Muxi followed Chen Chen, and the scene of Chen Chen carrying his roommate back to the dormitory on the night of the holiday emerged in his mind again.

This man looks quite thin, but I didn't expect him to be so strong.

In fact, Chen Chen is not thin. He is the type of person who looks muscular when he takes off his clothes but looks thin when he puts on clothes.

Lin Muxi took a Didi, so Chen Chen first took her to the Didi taxi area. After she got in the car, he took out his mobile phone to contact his father.

Coming out of the main gate, Chen Chen saw his father at a glance.

He was wearing a simple black jacket, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, and his slightly messy hair, blown by the breeze, added a sense of vicissitudes of life to his appearance.

Apparently it had been waiting in the wind for a long time.

When he saw Chen Chen coming out, he immediately stepped forward and took his suitcase.

"Dad, I'm back."

"I'm glad you're back. Let's go. Your mom has already cooked the meal and asked several times if she had picked you up."

"Then I'll send a message to Mom."

After sending the message, the two came to a white Song L in the open-air parking lot.

Mr. Chen arrived early, so he kept changing parking spots.

This will save some parking space.

By the time he picked up Chen Chen, he had changed nearly ten parking spaces.

Putting the suitcase into the trunk with his father, Chen Chen said:
"I thought you were going to drive a 125."

After being away from home for more than two months, Chen Chen missed the 125 at home very much.

"I thought you had some luggage and that a 125 wouldn't fit, so I drove out. Did you forget? You come drive back."

Chen Chen took the car keys from Chen Jianwen and said, "Of course I didn't forget." He got his driver's license after the college entrance examination.

After passing the test, I rarely have the opportunity to drive.

He only drives it every time he comes back from vacation, and most of the time he drives a 125.

So whenever there was a chance, Chen Jianwen would let him drive.

Driving is always faster than riding a motorcycle. After about 20 minutes, the car slowly drove into the village road of Chenjia Village.

A breath of freshness mixed with a slight chill instantly hits my face. It is the unique charm that belongs only to the night in my hometown.

It was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and the village road seemed particularly quiet. Only one or two cars occasionally drove by leisurely, breaking the tranquility but adding a bit of life atmosphere.

"Drive slowly, there is a ditch at the turn ahead, be careful." His father's words were calm and caring, reminding Chen Chen to pay attention to safety at all times.

Hearing this, Chen Chen controlled the steering wheel more carefully and slowed down the speed of the car.

Two minutes later, the familiar uphill road came into view.

Chen Chen saw his mother's figure.

In the cold wind of the winter night, her figure looked a little thin. She stood at the door and looked around. When she saw the car lights, she immediately picked up the broom and swept a few times, then put it down.

He called his own pastoral dog over and then waved it away.

Seems very busy.

Chen Chen knew that it was a unique behavior of his mother when she was excited.

They were also very worried during the high-speed rail delay.

The car stopped at the door of the house. Chen Chen opened the door and got out, shouting, "Mom, I'm back."

His mother, Liu Xiuying, immediately came out to greet him, her face filled with a smile of joy and satisfaction: "Hey, my dear son, I'm glad you're back. Come in quickly, the food is ready, eat it while it's hot."

The dinner was very sumptuous, and almost all of the dishes were Chen Chen’s favorites.

There was salt-baked chicken, pepper shrimp, and steamed garlic crab... His parents seemed to be afraid that he would not be full, and they kept peeling shrimps and picking up vegetables for him.

The two elders gave up only when Chen Chen really couldn't eat anymore.

After dinner, Chen Chen returned to his room.

His mother had already tidied his room before he came back.

All the quilts have been washed, and even the thick felt smells like sunshine.

Lying on the bed, Chen Chen had nothing to do, so he opened WeChat on his phone to check for any important information.

Most of my roommates have gone home. The group chat is very quiet.

As he slid the screen, Chen Chen's gaze inadvertently stopped on Lin Muxi's WeChat avatar. A ripple arose in his heart, and his thoughts drifted away.

Should I send her a message to ask if she has arrived?

No, her house is closer than mine, so she should have arrived home a long time ago.

I clicked into her circle of friends, but there was still nothing there.

It’s really rare to see a girl who doesn’t like to post on WeChat Moments.

Since you are a boy, you should ask proactively.

If she doesn't reply, forget it.

"Schoolgirl, are you home yet?"

After sending the message, he waited nervously for a reply. The room was so quiet that he could only hear his own heartbeat.

In just a few seconds, it seemed like a century had passed.

A minute passed.

No reply.

Two minutes passed.

Still no reply.

"It seems I was overthinking it. We just met by chance, and she's a famous, aloof campus beauty. How could she be friends with me just because we were on the same train going home?"
