In the Provincial Capital, Shaw Min and Bai Cuifen's train to Shenzhen arrived at three in the afternoon. After seeing them off, only Qinglan, An Shaojie, Jian Ming, Simple, Reiko, and Xiang Yuanqiu remained.
Qinglan repeatedly urged Xiang Yuanqiu to return to her school, saying that she had so many companions and didn't need her to see her off. However, Xiang Yuanqiu insisted on accompanying Qinglan to the station, leaving Qinglan with no choice but to comply.
In the waiting room, Simple made a phone call to Chen Yang, informing him that she was at the train station waiting to return to school.
"Why are you going back to school so early?"
Since falling for Simple at first sight last time, Chen Yang had been contemplating whether he should contact her after the New Year. He wanted to ask when she would return to school and planned to spend some time with her in the Provincial Capital. He didn't expect her to come back early.
"Because of special circumstances, I returned to school early," Simple said mysteriously while munching on a pile of snacks.
"What special circumstances?" The heart of someone in love is particularly sensitive, and Chen Yang was no exception. Hearing Simple mention something special made him feel anxious.
"My brother's girlfriend went to Shenzhen today, and we sent her off together, so I bought a ticket back to school as well." Simple spoke loudly while still focused on eating, not even glancing at Jian Ming and An Shaojie sitting beside her, let alone considering their feelings.
Jian Ming, along with Qinglan and An Shaojie, was drawn in by her unreserved words, staring at her until she finished the call and realized everyone was looking at her.
"What's up? Why are you all staring at me?" She appeared completely oblivious.
"When did your brother get a girlfriend?" Jian Ming asked.
After all, An Shaojie was still sitting next to them, and An Shaomin hadn't officially agreed to be his girlfriend yet!
"Isn't there one?" Simple looked at Jian Ming with innocent eyes and then glanced at An Shaojie. An Shaojie was looking elsewhere and seemed indifferent to her words.
"Isn't Brother Shaojie's sister your girlfriend? You've always liked her so much; you even mentioned it to your mom during the New Year!" Simple pouted and looked at Jian Ming discontentedly.
At the same time, she deliberately spoke loudly for An Shaojie's benefit, implying that his sister was too difficult to handle. Her brother had put in so much effort but still hadn't secured a girlfriend's status; others don't have such trouble proposing!
Jian Ming really couldn't do anything about her; he just pointed at her with his finger and let it go.
Qinglan watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh quietly.
An Shaojie pretended not to hear anything and smiled while staring into the distance.
He actually smiled! Qinglan stared at his profile for a while, then followed his gaze to see a little boy making faces at him. He smiled back at the boy, who became even more animated.
After a while, Chen Yang arrived, looking worn out. As soon as he saw him, Simple jumped up from her seat and ran over, "What brings you here?"
"You said you would be here," Chen Yang replied.
Without waiting for Chen Yang to finish speaking, Simple pulled him over to Jian Ming and Qinglan. Jian Ming had met Chen Yang before, so there was no need for further introduction; she mainly introduced Chen Yang to Qinglan and An Shaojie.
Finally, she suddenly asked Chen Yang, "Where's Lin Xi? Why didn't Lin Xi come? If she comes, let her come back to Beijing with us."
Qinglan and An Shaojie immediately perked up their ears, and Xiang Yuanqiu listened intently to Simple's words.
"I haven't contacted Lin Xi; I didn't tell her you were here," Chen Yang said.
"Then why didn't you tell her?" Simple questioned.
Chen Yang paused and replied, "There wasn't enough time. Besides, I don't even know if she's free; she has been with Lu Chenyu during the winter break."
Simple glanced at An Shaojie.
Sure enough, he stiffened for a moment; the smile that had just appeared faded away again, and he stopped looking at the little boy making faces. His expression darkened.
But he pretended to be calm and straightened his posture. The despair and sadness on his face could escape the notice of others but not Qinglan.
Seeing his suppressed pain made Qinglan's heart ache. His sudden expression of loneliness and helplessness pained her deeply; she really wanted to go up to him, hug him, comfort him, and let him cry freely in her arms.
However, Qinglan ultimately lacked the courage to approach him, which made her heartache even more intense.
Simple seemed to realize that her words were a bit reckless and quickly changed the subject with Chen Yang.
Around seven in the evening, they finally boarded the train, and Xiang Yuanqiu and Chen Yang left the train station.
On the train were only Qinglan, An Shaojie, Simple, and Jian Ming—two men and two women.
Qinglan and Simple sat together, while Jian Ming and An Shaojie sat together. Simple and An Shaojie were seated across from each other, and Qinglan and Jian Ming were seated across from each other as well.
Simple excitedly spoke to An Shaojie, who listened quietly.
However, Qinglan couldn't speak cheerfully with Jian Ming because Qinglan had a reserved personality, and Jian Ming was not an outgoing person either. So the two could only engage in soft-spoken conversation, but they often fell into silence.
"Just by looking at them, it's obvious they're a couple," suddenly pointed out a middle-aged man nearby, indicating Simple and An Shaojie. He then pointed at Qinglan and Jian Ming, saying, "You two clearly are not a couple."
"Ah?" Simple widened her eyes and pointed at her own nose, saying, "Me and him?" Then she pointed at An Shaojie. "Me and Brother Shaojie are a couple?"
Simple puffed her cheeks in a feigned pout. "If I were dating Brother Shaojie, he would suffocate me."
The people nearby looked on with skepticism and asked, "What? Aren't you two a couple?"
Simple hurriedly shook her head, saying, "No, no! You're misinterpreting things. How could we be like a couple?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she pointed at An Shaojie and Qinglan, saying, "Those two are the real couple! Can't you see? They are a perfect match."
Her words amused those around her, but when she turned to look at An Shaojie, she noticed his expression was not good; he had a serious face with tightly closed lips.
"Ahem." Simple awkwardly cleared her throat twice and added, "I mean, they are future lovers." As soon as she said this, she realized it was inappropriate and quickly explained, "Um, I mean they would make a suitable couple." The people nearby found Simple's innocent words and expressions even more amusing and began to joke around, asking, "So what exactly is their relationship?" "Ahem, let's put it this way," Simple said mysteriously while pointing at Qinglan and An Shaojie. "Don't you think they look alike? They have Lovers' Resemblance."
