We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

The school bell rang on Friday, and then the music of "Going Home" filled the school.

For students who have been attending classes for a week, this means a temporary relief.

"See you Sunday night!" Chen Qiuhe waved to Li Mubai.

"Um."

Li Mubai packed his things and went to the bus stop to wait for the bus. There are advantages and disadvantages to going to school in the suburbs. The advantage is that the environment is good, but the disadvantage is that it is inconvenient to go to and from school. It often takes more than an hour to get to the city by bus, and sometimes traffic jams can make this time infinitely long.

He took out his phone and was about to plug in his earphones when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. He quickly put his phone away and turned to look. It was Chen Qiuhe. Even though school was over, it was still embarrassing to be caught by a teacher taking out his phone near the school.

Hey! What a coincidence, we meet again.

"It's you! I thought it was the teacher."

However, it wasn't exactly a coincidence, since there was only one bus stop from the school to the city center, and many students would wait for the bus there. Some would take a private car from the back gate of the school, like Xie Shu.

"You dare bring your cell phone to school?"

"What do you mean by 'bringing it in privately'? Can't I just leave it with the homeroom teacher for a week and give it to me on Friday?"

"I see. I'll bring it to the homeroom teacher next week too," Chen Qiuhe said thoughtfully, stroking her chin.

"Just kidding. If you really give it to me, you can ask for it back at the end of the semester."

Chen Qiuhe gently punched his arm. "Which bus are you on?"

Route 76.

"I'm on bus route 76 too!"

"That's normal, after all, there are only three bus routes to the city center."

Which stop are you getting off at?

Pingyang Airport.

"That's a different route. I'll be getting off and transferring a few stops before you."

"The car is here."

"Hurry up and follow me." Chen Qiuhe called to Li Mubai and came to a corner of the platform.

"What's wrong?"

"The driver usually stops here, and as soon as he opens the door, we can get on the bus and grab a seat."

"Really?"

Li Mubai didn't believe it at first, but the driver did indeed stop in front of them just as Chen Qiuhe had said.

The school is close to the starting point of bus route 76, so there are still many empty seats on the bus. However, as a large number of students board, the empty seats will soon be gone.

"Come and sit down."

Chen Qiuhe found a double seat in the back row and sat on the inside by the window.

"Why don't you sit in the front?" Li Mubai asked as he sat down.

"You don't understand. If an elderly person gets on the bus while you're sitting in the front, the first person to give up their seat is the one in the front."

Li Mubai had to admire Chen Qiuhe's experience in taking the train. After all, he would be riding from the starting station to the terminal station, so having a seat was naturally the best thing. If there were elderly people or pregnant women standing next to him, he would give up his seat.

"Do you have Douyin on your phone?" Chen Qiuhe asked.

"without."

"Don't you watch short videos? In this day and age, there are very few people who have a mobile phone and don't watch short videos."

Indeed, Li Mubai thought of his grandparents in the countryside, who both had Douyin on their phones.

"I used to use it, but I quit later," Li Mubai said.

"Amazing, how did you quit?" Chen Qiuhe gave him a thumbs up.

"I switched to watching Bilibili, and that's how I quit."

……

"Okay, okay, you've quit, right? Then go ahead and use it."

"Just say you want to see it."

"hey-hey."

Li Mubai turned on his phone, and Chen Qiuhe leaned closer. Actually, Bilibili also has a video browsing function, but Bilibili mainly focuses on long videos.

"Look at this." Chen Qiuhe pointed.

Li Mubai clicked on the video titled "Teacher, I really want to improve. Look, I'm in a hurry again."

After watching for a few minutes, Chen Qiuhe said to switch to the next video, and Li Mubai clicked on a cute pet video.

"So cute! I'm done watching, let's move on to the next one."

Kobe-themed Musical Barbecue

"Not good, next one."

"The Past, Are You Talking About the Past?"

"Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu? You guys watch such bizarre things? Next one."

"Next one, next one, I'll let you swipe it."

Chen Qiuhe smiled sheepishly. "I'll take a nap first. Call me when you get to Gaoxin Road."

Seeing that she was resting in her chair, Li Mubai put on his headphones, ready to listen to some music.

NetEase Cloud Music, go live!

Li Mubai closed his eyes.

Are you really here

or am I dreaming

I can't tell dreams from truth

For it's been so long

Since I have seen you

I can hardly remember your face anymore

When I get really lonely

and the distance causes only silence

……

After repeating this countless times, Li Mubai suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Chen Qiuhe's head resting on his shoulder. He immediately woke Chen Qiuhe up.

"What's wrong? Have we arrived at the station?" Chen Qiuhe rubbed her sleepy eyes.

No, you fell onto my shoulder.

"Oh, sorry, I'm going back to sleep. Remember to wake me when we get to the station." Chen Qiuhe leaned against the window.

……

Li Mubai nudged Chen Qiuhe's shoulder.

"Have we arrived at our destination?"

We're almost at Gaoxin Road.

Chen Qiuhe stretched and said, "See you on Sunday!"

"Okay, goodbye." Li Mubai stood up and made way for her.

Chen Qiuhe got off the bus and sat in Chen Qiuhe's seat, which had a better window position and offered a view outside.

She stood by the roadside and waved to him, and he waved back.

Li Mubai's home is in an old neighborhood. It was getting dark, so he took out his key from his bag and clicked the security door open.

The room was quiet and the lights were off. The light from the hallway shone into the entryway. Li Mubai turned on the light and closed the door.

It seems they're still in the store.

He went back to his room, put down his schoolbag, and went out.

Mr. and Mrs. Li's shop is located near the university and is called Jixiang Restaurant. When he walked into the shop, there were only a few customers. Mr. Li was sitting at a table playing on his phone.

"Dad, where's Mom?"

"You're back. Your mother is in the kitchen." Mr. Li looked up at him.

Li Mubai found his mother chopping vegetables in the kitchen.

"mom."

"Little Bai is back. Have you eaten yet?" Li's mother asked with a smile.

"not yet."

"What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you."

"Mom, have you and Dad eaten? If not, I'll eat with you."

"Then we'll have to wait a while."

After lunchtime, there were only a few customers left, so Li's mother simply prepared three dishes and a soup, and the family ate their meal at the restaurant.

"By the way, Xiaobai, how was your week at school?" Li's mother asked.

"It's only the first week, what could possibly happen?"

"Are you getting used to the food at school?"

"I've been eating this for a year now, I'm used to it."

"Heping (Li's father's nickname), go buy a fish tomorrow to nourish Xiaobai."

"No need, Mom."

"They don't have things like pickled fish at school, so I'll definitely have to eat something good when I get home."

Ok.

After finishing his meal, Li Mubai cleaned up his bowl and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going home to do my homework now."

"it is good."
