Chapter 3772: Surrounded
Ye Jian, who was leaning against the seat by the window, wasn’t completely asleep. She had a blocked nose, so she couldn’t breathe normally. She didn’t open her eyes when she heard the commotion, but she knew that a passenger’s backpack had bumped into Ding Ling’s seat.
Ding Ling sniffed heavily. She turned her head and looked at Ye Jian, who was frowning. Ding Ling couldn’t help but ask softly, “Are you feeling uncomfortable? When you get off the train later, go to the pharmacy to buy some cold medicine.”
Frowning, Ye Jian hummed softly. In the end, she didn’t fall asleep. She just sat there until the sky turned bright.
The weather in Nanguang was good. Although the sky was only slightly bright, the entire sky was as clear as a mirror. One look and you could tell that today would be a sunny day.
Ye Jian pulled up the window a little. Fresh air blew into her face. She didn’t feel cold at all. She felt very comfortable.
“Nanguang is like spring all year round. You can’t see any snow. The trees on the mountain and on the streets are all green. The temperature is high too. When I called home yesterday, my mother said that the highest temperature today is 18 degrees Celsius, so we can just wear thinner jackets. But it’s a little cold in the morning, so wear a thicker jacket.”
Ding Ling, who didn’t sleep much either, smiled and chatted with Ye Jian. She was from Nanguang Province. Unfortunately, she couldn’t go back home this time.
Her family wanted to meet her outside the train station, but Ding Ling didn’t agree. She couldn’t let herself enjoy special treatment just because she was from Nanguang Province. It was better for them not to come.
Ye Jian had already seen the information of all the students and knew that Ding Ling was from Nanguang Province. Hearing that, she smiled and said, “I heard that many locals in Nanguang have never seen snow before. Look at the weather now. It’s indeed a little difficult to see snow in Nanguang.”
“My grandparents have never seen snow in their entire lives. My parents specially chose winter to visit me last year because they wanted to see snow. I had never seen snow before I went to the National Science University.
“I still remember that when I walked out of the laboratory in the winter of my freshman year, I realized that it was snowing. In the words of my classmates, I was so happy that I became a fool. I even walked around the sports ground. When I came back, my head was covered in snow.”
In the winter of her freshman year, the snow was very heavy. The snow was so heavy that it broke the branches of the green trees in the school. Ding Ling, who had never seen snow before, woke up early the next morning and rolled on the lawn that hadn’t been swept clean.
When she talked about this, Ye Jian suddenly remembered the day when it was her class’ turn to sweep the snow. The student in charge of clearing the path leading to the light-air cannon laboratory came back while laughing boisterously. He told the class that a student was rolling in the snow on the lawn. She even circled a few meters. The group of them just stood at the side with snow shovels, dumbfounded.
When Ding Ling mentioned this matter, Ye Jian immediately made a connection. She smiled until her eyes curved. “Was it on the lawn at the light-air cannon laboratory? So you were the one rolling around! The students from my class were watching secretly the entire time. You didn’t notice it?”
…
Ding Ling, who was still thinking about the time when she rolled in the snow, was dumbfounded!
She thought that no one would see her rolling in the snow. In the end, it turned out she was surrounded!
Ding Ling’s face turned red when the train stopped at the station.
They arrived at the train station of Nanguang Province. Everyone sat down neatly. Only when there were only a few passengers who had not alighted did everyone stand up neatly.
They wore their military caps and straightened their military uniforms. They carried their luggage that was tied up with green military belts. They were ready to walk out of the carriage. They were energetic and didn’t look like they hadn’t slept the entire night.
