Returning to my senior year of high school before college, I became addicted to dating.

Lin Feng got into the car and picked up Song Yan first. When he arrived, Song Yan was already waiting downstairs.

She was wearing a light pink dress, pulling a small white suitcase, her hair was down, she wore light makeup, and her lips were coated with a layer of glossy lip gloss.

When she saw Lin Feng's car, her eyes lit up. She jogged over, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

"Did you miss me?" Song Yan tilted her head to look at him.

"I've thought about it."

What are you thinking about?

"I've thought of everything."

Song Yan leaned over and pecked him on the cheek, then took out a small mirror from her bag, looked at herself, and touched up her lip gloss.

The second stop is Liu Jiaqi.

She was wearing a white T-shirt, light blue denim shorts, and canvas shoes, with her hair tied in a low ponytail. She was carrying a canvas bag but not pulling a suitcase.

"Is this all you brought?" Lin Feng opened the door for her.

"I'll buy it when I get to Beijing, I'm too lazy to bring it."

Liu Jiaqi got into the car, smiled at Song Yan, and greeted her, "Song Yan, long time no see."

Song Yan smiled and said, "You've lost weight and become even more beautiful."

"The same to you."

The two exchanged a glance, and everything was understood without a word.

The third stop, Liu Chengcheng.

She was squatting under a tree, with a large suitcase, a backpack, and a tote bag next to her.

Lin Feng got out of the car, looked at the pile of luggage, and fell silent.

Are you moving or going to college?

"I brought this for you." Liu Chengcheng stood up, dusted off her bottom, and pointed to the pile of luggage as she began to introduce it.

"This suitcase contains clothes and shoes, this bag contains bed sheets and duvet covers. My mom said you should air them out before using them when you get to Beijing. This bag contains food—ribs, braised chicken legs, and pies, which we'll eat on the road."

Lin Feng gave her a thumbs up, helped her load her luggage into the car, started the engine, glanced at his phone, and saw it was 7:15.

"First stop, a day trip to Changchun."

The three girls cheered together, "Wow! Yay!"

Raymond Lam was also very excited: "Let's go!"

Once the car was on the highway, the fields outside the window rushed past, one cornfield after another, and occasionally you could see a few farmers working in the fields, bent over, like commas.

Raymond Lam turned on the stereo and played Jay Chou's "All the Way North".

As soon as the intro started, the three girls hummed along, their voices like a warm summer breeze blowing through wind chimes.

Lin Feng smiled, revealing a maternal smile.

As she was singing, Liu Chengcheng suddenly spoke up, breaking the beauty of the first half of the song.

"Brother Feng, let's make this clear first: once we get to Beijing, you can't bring any more girlfriends, or there won't be enough room in the bed."

Song Yan chimed in, "Who said we were sharing a bed with him? I live in the dormitory."

Liu Chengcheng said, "You live in the dormitory? What if he climbs over the wall to find you in the middle of the night?"

Liu Jiaqi coughed.

Liu Chengcheng then asked, "Brother Feng, does Teacher Huo also have feelings for you?"

Lin Feng tightened his grip on the steering wheel, but his expression remained unchanged: "She's my employee."

"Give me a break." Liu Chengcheng leaned forward, resting her head on the back of the passenger seat. "The way she looks at you is exactly the same way Song Yan looks at you. I've observed it."

Song Yan blushed: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I glanced at her while I was looking at you."

Liu Jiaqi said quietly from the side:

"Liu Chengcheng, you have such strong observation skills, how come you only scored 50 points on the college entrance exam essay?"

"Because the essay topic was 'My Ideal,' I wrote, 'My ideal is to be Raymond Lam's wife.'"

There was a moment of silence in the car, then Song Yan and Liu Jiaqi laughed at the same time, laughing so hard they were doubled over.

Raymond Lam laughed too: "You think you can get 50 points for writing this? You're lucky you didn't get zero."

"The teacher said it was unrealistic and the adjectives were too explicit. But it's very relatable, and the writing style is decent, so I'll give it 50 points."

Song Yan laughed until tears streamed down her face: "Liu Chengcheng, you're really something!"

Liu Chengcheng said smugly, "Of course, I'm the only one in our class whose parents were called in because of the content of my essay."

The car was filled with laughter, except for Liu Chengcheng, who looked smug.

There weren't many cars on the highway, and the Audi drove very steadily.

The sunlight streamed in through the windshield, warm and comforting.

Song Yan took out snacks from her bag and started distributing them.

"Chengcheng, do you want some spicy snacks?"

"eat!"

"Jiaqi, what about you?"

"Give me one."

Three girls were in the back row, eating sunflower seeds, spicy snacks, and drinking beverages, chatting away non-stop.

Lin Feng drove in front, occasionally chiming in, but mostly listening to their conversation.

Song Yan said she would join a club in college, while Liu Jiaqi said she would take the postgraduate entrance exam.

Liu Chengcheng said she wouldn't add anything, she would just stare at Lin Feng.

"Why are you staring at him?" Song Yan asked.

"I'm afraid he'll accept it again."

"So what if he accepts you?"

Liu Chengcheng thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll send a message to his freshman group: 'I'm Lin Feng's girlfriend. Anyone who wants to be my sister, add me on QQ.'"

Lin Feng glared at her in the rearview mirror: "You dare?"

"You'll see if I dare."

Song Yan and Liu Jiaqi exchanged a glance and shook their heads simultaneously. They were used to it; Liu Chengcheng was a woman of her word, and trying to reason with her was less effective than simply surrendering.

After the car passed the Dehui service area, Liu Chengcheng suddenly said she needed to use the restroom.

Lin Feng drove the car into the service area, and Liu Chengcheng opened the car door and ran out.

After filling up the gas tank, we hit the road again. But the sky darkened, and dark clouds rolled in from the west, completely obscuring the sun.

The three girls chatted in the back, their voices growing softer and softer until finally, all three fell asleep.

Raymond Lam turned the music down and turned the air conditioning up by one degree.

The poplar trees on both sides of the highway stretched out in rows, their leaves turning white in the wind, as if waving goodbye.

He glanced at the dashboard; the speed was 110 km/h.

In the rearview mirror, the three girls were sleeping in all sorts of crooked positions. Liu Chengcheng had her mouth open, and Song Yan's face was pressed against the car window, her lips pouting like a little goldfish.

Lin Feng stepped on the gas, and the Audi drove through the hazy sky.

After a while, my eyelids started to droop.

He and Zhao Lulu were up most of the night last night, only falling asleep at 3 a.m., and getting up at 6:30 a.m. If he weren't young and energetic, he would have fallen asleep on the steering wheel long ago.

He opened a bottle of Red Bull he had just bought at the service area, tilted his head back, filled the bottle, and continued opening it.

At 1 p.m., we finally entered the city of Changchun.

My three girlfriends woke up too.

Lin Feng rolled down the car window and looked out. Skyscrapers, bustling traffic, and traffic lights lined the streets, a world completely different from Huanan County.

Song Yan leaned against the car window, her eyes shining as she looked out: "Wow, this is truly a big city!"

Liu Jiaqi also came over for a look, her expression calm. She had visited Changchun once with her parents when she was in junior high school.

Liu Chengcheng also frequently travels with her parents on business trips; she's even been to Shanghai! So she didn't really feel anything.

Only Song Yan has ever been to the largest cities: Shuangyashan and Jiamusi.

At that moment, she looked around with great curiosity, glancing here and there.
