Chapter 262 Wang Xiao Arrives
Today, one wish after another came true; it really happened a lot.
Everything was alright until this sudden appearance of a living person was a bit unbelievable.
Lu Zhaoyang was still somewhat incredulous, but hearing Wang Xiao's excited voice on the other end of the phone, he had no choice but to try to believe it.
"Where are you now? Which highway exit did you come from...?"
Two minutes later, Lu Zhaoyang hung up the phone, turned around to look at Qian Lei, and said with a helpless smile, "Brother Qian, something came up on my end, so I might have to go first."
Qian Lei had overheard most of the phone call and could tell that a friend had come looking for Lu Zhaoyang. He immediately smiled gently and said, "It's alright, Zhaoyang, you go ahead and do your thing. Where are you going? I'll see you off."
Lu Zhaoyang came in his car, so naturally he has to take the person back.
"Brother Qian, no need to trouble yourself. It's my college classmate who's here. He just got off the highway and is at this nearby toll station. I just had him come pick me up."
The highway exit that Wang Xiao just mentioned is indeed not far from Baiyun Town.
As Lu Zhaoyang spoke, he got up and walked towards the door.
Just before leaving, he turned back, still with an incredulous smile: "Brother Qian, you probably won't believe how coincidental it is, but the person who just called me was none other than my classmate who's a blogger, the one we were just talking about. This guy actually suddenly came over here to hang out."
Qian Lei was visibly taken aback, genuinely finding it unbelievable: "Really? What a coincidence!"
"Absolutely! It's such a coincidence that I find it unbelievable myself."
Lu Zhaoyang sighed, "Then, Brother Qian, I'll go see my friend first. If it's convenient these next couple of days, let's get together and discuss what we talked about earlier in person."
"That's great! I'll treat you to a meal sometime."
……
At the entrance of the pet factory, Lu Zhaoyang waited for Wang Xiao.
A short while later, a Mercedes SUV slowly drove up in front of us.
This car was purchased two years ago by Wang Xiao after he earned his own money, with some additional funds from his family.
Lu Zhaoyang can be seen posting pictures of this car on his WeChat Moments from time to time.
Time flies, and the two haven't met for more than three years.
The last time we got together was when the four of us from the dorm got together during the National Day holiday.
In the blink of an eye, several years have flown by.
The car came to a stop, the window rolled down, revealing Wang Xiao's round, chubby face.
"Hello, Lao Lu, long time no see!"
"Hello, Brother Xiao!"
Lu Zhaoyang was genuinely happy to see his old classmate.
The way he greets people is the same tone he used when he was in school, the one he learned from the cartoon "Hello Mr. Tree".
The four of them used to imitate each other, and over time it became a unique habit among them.
Lu Zhaoyang opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
Looking at him, it was clear that this old classmate had gained weight after not seeing him for several years.
It's probably because I run a food blog that I need to eat a lot of things every day.
"Brother Xiao, what brings you to Yun Zhao's place all of a sudden?"
Lu Zhaoyang couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him again.
"What, you're not welcoming me?"
Wang Xiao didn't answer his question. Instead, he pointed to the gate of the pet factory behind him and asked, "Old Lu, this isn't your workplace, is it? Did I interrupt your work?"
Lu Zhaoyang followed his gaze, smiled, and shook his head, saying, "No, no, this is a friend's factory. I just came to visit. To be honest, I'm currently unemployed."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiao finally felt relieved and remarked, "Being unemployed is pretty good; it's carefree and leisurely."
"Alright, let's drive first, I'll give you directions."
It wasn't a good idea to leave the car here, so Lu Zhaoyang decided to go back first.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wang Xiao unbuckle his seatbelt.
The latter yawned heavily and mumbled, "Old Lu, you should drive. I've been driving for a whole day and night, and I'm really exhausted."
Lu Zhaoyang was taken aback: "You drove all the way from home in one go?"
Looking closely at Wang Xiao's face, one could see that he was indeed exhausted.
Without saying much, he pushed open the car door and got out.
"That's right. Except for eating and using the restroom at the service area, I didn't stop. It wasn't until I got off the highway that I realized I had driven so far, which almost startled me."
Wang Xiao continued talking, and the two of them switched seats without delay.
Lu Zhaoyang got into the driver's seat, feeling a bit scared as he listened: "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened? Why didn't you even say hello and drove all this way by yourself? It's been more than ten hours!"
"you do not say!"
Wang Xiao yawned again, reclined the passenger seat, and leaned back comfortably before explaining the reason for his sudden visit.
"Sigh, I've been so busy working these past few years that when I did the math, I realized I haven't had a single decent day off. It wasn't until recently that I finally couldn't take it anymore. I was suffering from persistent insomnia, feeling like I was going to die, so I decided to go to the hospital for a checkup."
"It would have been fine if we hadn't checked, but the check really did uncover some trouble."
"The doctor said I have depression, along with anxiety and insomnia. You can't believe it, how could I have depression? But whether I have depression or not, it's true that these past few years of constantly making skits and editing videos have already taken a toll on my neurasthenia."
"I figured that no matter how much money I make, nothing is more important than my health. Fortunately, the studio is finally back on track, so my short break won't cause any major problems. So I decided to take a vacation and relax."
"At first, I thought of many famous tourist attractions, but I couldn't muster any enthusiasm for traveling. Then I thought of you."
"A few days ago, I saw your message saying that you had returned to your hometown. We, your roommates, were all quite worried about you. After all, before you came back, you often stayed up late working overtime and suffered from severe insomnia. We were worried that you might also develop depression."
"Since I don't want to go anywhere else, I thought I'd just come and find you directly."
Lu Zhaoyang turned his head and glanced at his old classmate in the passenger seat, a warm feeling rising in his heart.
"I made up my mind right then and there: if you're depressed too, I'll have a good drink with you to help you relax; if you're okay, even better, you can have a drink with me to unwind. How about that, no problem?"
After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he looked at him with a smile.
As Lu Zhaoyang listened to his old classmate's description, his mood fluctuated between nervousness and relief.
Depression is not as serious as other physical illnesses.
However, it is serious and cannot be ignored.
Fortunately, judging from Wang Xiao's condition, it didn't seem to have progressed to a very serious stage.
At the same time, Lu Zhaoyang was deeply moved that his old classmate still remembered him at this time.
He turned his head and smiled: "Of course there's nothing wrong with that! No matter what, we have to drink to our hearts' content this time."
Forget about everything else, just make sure the person is happy first.
When you're happy, who cares about being depressed?
"But before I drink, I need to take a nap. I'm so sleepy, my eyelids are drooping."
As Wang Xiao spoke, his head began to droop little by little.
"Later, find a place to drop me off. Can I stay at your place? If not, a hotel nearby will do."
"What are you talking about! We're already in Yunzhao. Even if I have to set up a makeshift chicken coop, I'll still let you stay at home. How can I let you stay in a hotel?"
Lu Zhaoyang made a joke.
Wang Xiao turned his head and glanced at him, grinning sheepishly: "Okay, who cares if it's a chicken coop or a duck coop, as long as I can lie down and sleep, that's fine."
As Lu Zhaoyang drove steadily, he glanced at Wang Xiao beside him and noticed that Wang Xiao was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open. It was clear that he had indeed reached his limit.
"Being able to sleep is a good thing," he quickly said. "Don't push yourself too hard, take a nap, I'll wake you up when we get there."
"Okay, I'm going to take a nap first."
Before Wang Xiao could finish speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.
Lu Zhaoyang gripped the steering wheel firmly and drove forward.
It took less than twenty minutes to get back to my own yard.
After the car came to a stop in front of the house, Lu Zhaoyang turned to look at the passenger seat, where Wang Xiao was still snoring loudly.
He thought for a moment and decided not to wake the person up immediately.
Lu Zhaoyang himself had also suffered from insomnia.
For the past two years, I've been working overtime non-stop, with my schedule completely reversed, resulting in chronic sleep deprivation.
He often had dark circles under his eyes; he knew the pain of sleep deprivation.
He could understand that for someone who is extremely sleep-deprived, the only desire is to get a good night's sleep, and whether the sleeping environment is comfortable or not is not that important.
The best news for this old man right now is that he can sleep soundly.
Lu Zhaoyang felt that if he were woken up now, even if he went into the room and lay down on the soft bed, he might lose his sleepiness and be unable to fall asleep again.
The temperature was very high, but Lu Zhaoyang didn't turn off the engine; the air conditioning was running, and he rolled the car window down a little.
He then slowly reclined the car seat, took out his phone, opened WeChat, found his chat window with Xia Ran, and prepared to chat for a while.
"Teacher Xia, I visited the LePet factory today."
After sending the message, Lu Zhaoyang waited a long time for a reply.
He guessed that Teacher Xia was probably still teaching, so he wasn't in a hurry. He casually opened a mobile app and started playing chess.
Teacher Xia's heroic feat of single-handedly fighting against a group of old men last time left an indelible impression on Lu Zhaoyang.
He decided to seriously learn the technology.
I'll try my best not to embarrass Teacher Xia too much.
Wang Xiao's deep snoring still echoed beside her.
Just then, Xia Ran replied.
"Is it interesting inside?"
