Chapter 6, University Life (1)

Lu Tianhao, also a first-year student. Are you from New City?" Lu Tianhao gentlemanly shook hands with the girl

Zhang Xiaoya was left speechless. The other passengers nearby, upon seeing Zhang Xiaoya's expression, realized their guesses were entirely correct, and they were somewhat astonished by the young man's extraordinary powers of observation and reasoning

The person traveling a long distance surprisingly did not bring even a single bag

The girl looked up at him in surprise: "You too? ... How did you know I was going to Kyushu Computer Institute?"

The thief hurriedly left

Lu Tianhao was sitting by the window, while the thief occupied the middle seat of the three-person row. In the aisle seat, an elderly man wiped his sweat and murmured, "Thank you, young man. I almost had my pocket picked"

However, what terrified him the most was how Lu Tianhao had figured out that he was a thief

At this moment, the man was neither sitting nor standing. He wanted to take action, but the earlier remark, "There are three plainclothes officers in the carriage," made him wary. He should sit down; at this moment, everyone was already looking at him with the eyes of a thief, making it evidently impossible for him to act.

Feeling somewhat fatigued from reading, she set down her book and took a sip of the bottled mineral water she had brought. Glancing over at Lu Tianhao, who was seated across from her, their eyes met for a brief moment. The girl's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her gaze again.

Lu Tianhao merely sighed

She was a long and quiet girl with neatly combed bangs and a fair, delicate face. Beside her was a backpack, indicating that she was also out for school.

Outside the window, the scenery rushes by, yet in my heart, the faint shadow of my father rises up

Lu Tianhao casually replied: "Oh, just a guess. This train is the first to depart from Lianhai City, leaving at 9 PM last night, and it should arrive in Jiuzhou around 4 PM. Given your demeanor, you don't seem like someone who hasn't slept all night; I estimate you took the morning train. It is now 10 AM. During the time from 7 AM to 10 AM, only two stations have been passed. One of them is Yunlu, the provincial capital, which has a computer college that is better than the one in Jiuzhou, and the admission requirements for local residents are much lower than those for outsiders. Typically, if one wants to enter a computer college, residents of Yunlu would not choose to go to other places. So I guess you are from Xincheng."

Your backpack is a type of travel and hiking bag, branded as ddc, and it is not inexpensive. I estimate that your family background is quite good. From the wear and tear on the backpack, it is evident that you are fond of hiking. Moreover, you really like this backpack, so even though it is old, you are reluctant to replace it. It might also have been a gift from someone important to you. I guess it was your father, as mothers generally do not give hiking backpacks. Only men tend to encourage sports. I suspect your father is not often around you. Additionally, you enjoy snacks but are concerned about gaining weight, which is why you choose low-fat foods, as can be seen from the items displayed on the table. The arrangement is quite orderly, which can be interpreted as excellent upbringing or simply as a natural inclination of girls to keep things clean and tidy. As for other aspects, not much else can be discerned. Oh, I suggest you give up that survival manual for the train station. I have read its contents, and it can be summarized in one sentence: once you get off the train, just take a taxi and leave, ignoring everything happening around you, including the money on the ground and the strangers trying to strike up a conversation with you.

The girl's face flushed, and she hurriedly zipped up her backpack. Then she elegantly extended her hand and said: "My name is Zhang Xiaoya, a freshman from the School of Computer Science. What about you?"

Lu Tianhao casually remarked: "As long as one is attentive, one can always see many things that others cannot."

Lu Tianhao gently said to Zhang Xiaoya: "Don't worry, I told them that there are three plainclothes officers in this carriage. They wouldn't dare to come in forcefully"

Sitting next to Lu Tianhao, a man of about thirty could not help but ask: "So can you tell where I am from?"

If possible, he hopes that one day he can return to benefit the people

"Ha! What else do you know?" the girl couldn't help but ask. This classmate seems quite remarkable.

The faces of several passengers changed color simultaneously

Lu Tianhao smiled slightly and, for the first time in his life, took the initiative to greet a strange girl, saying: "You are also going to Jiuzhou Computer College, right? We are classmates"

Because there lies a dream, and it is for this dream that he works tirelessly

You are truly amazing said Zhang Xiaoya

On the train, Lu Tianhao found his seat, placed his bag properly, and sat down to rest

Lu Tianhao replied coldly: "No need to be polite. Usually, the thieves on the train are often in groups, helping each other out. Therefore, I suggest that the other two friends nearby find an opportunity to leave on their own. It's not easy for everyone to make a living, so I won't mention who they are."

In the girl's hand is a "Survival Manual for Train Stations," which she is reading with great seriousness

The girl's eyes revealed great surprise: "How did you know this time?"

Zhang Xiaoya felt a wave of dizziness

The man's expression changed dramatically, and he stood up pointing at Lu Tianhao, shouting: "You little brat, what do you mean by that?"

Lu Tianhao softly said, "Standing here will only draw more attention."

Lu Tianhao's face revealed a hint of a smug smile

Zhang Xiaoya, frightened, quickly protected her bag and sat down in the spot where the thief had left, leaning next to Lu Tianhao

Lu Tianhao glanced deeply at the man sitting beside him and after a long pause said: "The train is your home. Sir, I do not wish to cause trouble. However, I must remind you that despite my decent attire, I only have fifty dollars in change in my pocket. This is because I am accustomed to using credit cards. Furthermore... there are at least three plainclothes officers in this carriage, and I suggest it would be best for you not to take any action."

"Your admission notice has been revealed." Lu Tianhao pointed with his chin at her backpack. A corner of the admission notice was exposed there, showing only a few characters.

deceive

At this moment, the man was in a state of confusion, but Lu Tianhao calmly said: "Let’s just say I was mistaken. I apologize. You may take a seat now"

In fact, he saw through the person next to him as a thief, which is why he used the girl across from him to take the opportunity to remind that guy

Half an hour later, the elderly man who was wiping his sweat and a middle-aged woman sitting next to Zhang Xiaoya both made excuses to get off the train and slipped away to another carriage

Excluding the thief, all five passengers on the two rows of seats were cautiously watching that man

Lu Tianhao was somewhat surprised to find that a very elegant and beautiful girl was sitting opposite him

At this moment, she feels that only here is she safe

Lu Tianhao deduced this from the texture and specifications of the paper, after all, he also possessed such an admission notice.

This is not his first time traveling far; previously, it was always for short trips with a simple purpose: to learn the skills he needed. However, now he is leaving for four years. During these four years, he does not know how many times he will return to Wolong Town, but he knows that it is this place that has left him with eternal memories
