Lin Jin made it through security safely, despite having a cat sprawled on him. Mostly thanks to coat covering the cat and the security staff not really fussing about it too much. They just scanned Lin Jin a few times with the metal detector before letting him through.
Though there wasn’t much people crowded at the entrance, there were so many people in the waiting lobby that finding a seat was a challenge. Finally after searching for a long time, Lin Jin managed to find a seat.
Sitting down with his suitcase, Lin Jin glanced at the man next to him and noticed he actually holding a tablet and playing Hearthstone. Out of curiosity, Lin Jin watched for a while. This person beside him was pretty good, he was actually close to hitting the Legend rank. Though this seems to be his limit. The man kept spamming "thank you" to his opponent.
Is this the legendary Pray for Mercy deck?
Lin Jin chuckled which caught the attention of the man beside him. The man looked up and glanced unhappily at Lin Jin. The man was stunned by Lin JIn’s appearance for a bit, then softened his expression. He smiled and asked Lin Jin "Do you play Hearthstone too?"
"I haven’t played in a while" Lin Jin continued watching the man play with interest "Go on, why look at me?"
"This is a Pray for Mercy deck. I climbed to Legend with it last month" the man deliberately used a more humorous tone to talk to Lin Jin "Where are you headed?"
"Xiamen" Lin Jin suddenly felt uncomfortable on his shoulder. After responding, he sneakily slipped his hand into his coat to carefully grab Braised Pork, the cat, and placed it on his lap under the coat.
"A cat?" The man next to him noticed a slip up Lin Jin accidentally revealed. He abandoned his game and leaned over to ask "How did you get a cat through security?"
"I have a cat too and wanted to take it with me to Xiamen, but it's too much trouble to check it in" The man reached out his hand to try to pet Braised Pork, but retracted his hand after a stern glare from Lin Jin. He continued, "What time is your train? Maybe we're on the same one."
"Three o'clock." Lin Jin gave him a look and sensed that this man seemed to genuinely like cats and wasn’t just being nosy. He breathed a sigh of relief and handed over Braised Pork along with the coat, instructing, "Be careful not to expose him while petting."
"Got it" the man nodded, accepting the cat and gently petting its head before introducing himself, "I'm Huang Lei, from Xiamen University of Technology."
"Lin Jin, in software technology" Lin Jin relaxed a bit more around Huang Lei after they introduced themselves. Perhaps it was because Huang Lei shred the same name as a celebrity he liked, or maybe just because Huang Lei seemed handsome and polite.
Well, the guy’s looks were pretty good, not exactly handsome like a model, but he definitely had the refined look of a scholar.
"It's time to check in."
Lin Jin noticed a crowd of people beginning to gather at the ticket gate.
Even though there were still about twenty minutes before the train arrives, passengers had already started lining up. Now there were also over thirty people queued up in five or six lines.
Taking back his coat and Braised Pork from Huang Lei, Lin Jin looked around to make sure no one was paying him any attention. He quickly stuffed Braised Pork and the coat into his clothings bag. Then, with one hand pulling the suitcase and the other carrying the bag and his computer backpack, he made his way to the ticket gate with heavy steps.
Huang Lei also quickly packed up and followed him. He smiled and offered "How about I help you carry some things?"
"No thanks."
Lin Jin didn’t have the habit of accepting help from strangers for no reason. Though if it were a friend who had asked to help, he would have handed everything over without a second thought.
"Let's add each other on WeChat? To keep in touch."
Huang Lei, not wanting to give up, continued to hit on Lin Jin, "QQ works too, since our schools are close. If you ever run into any trouble, just call me and I'll come help out. Or if you want to watch a movie, hit me up and we can go together."
Lin Jin thought it over and figured there was no harm in exchanging contact info. He barely ever used WeChat anyway, so he nodded and added Huang Lei.
About twenty minutes later, Lin Jin finally boarded the high speed train.
He was seated in seat F, which was not only by the window but also a double seat. It was also next to a pretty girl...
Yep, quite satisfying.
Next to Lin Jin, in seat D, was a beauty with black-framed glasses. She seemed to be the extremely academic type of girl. Anyways, her whole vibe was intellectual and cultured, much like the top university students Lin Jin occasionally saw.
Before the train even started and before Lin Jin had finished checking out the beauty next to him, he heard Huang Lei's voice.
"Miss, would you mind switching seats? I'm in car 7, seat F" Huang Lei said politely to the girl next to Lin Jin with his luggage in hand, "She's with me. We couldn't get seats together."
"Sure." The glasses-wearing beauty didn't mind at all. She stood up, took her luggage from the overhead rack, checked Huang Lei's ticket, and then left.
Eh?! My beauty with glasses is gone.
And replaced by a rough guy.
Lin Jin looked dissatisfiedly at Huang Lei, who had taken the seat next to him, but Huang Lei shamelessly explained, "You've got your cat with you. What if it gets discovered? I can help cover for you."
"I'm already on the train. They wouldn't kick me off if they found out, right?" Lin Jin glared at him, "You chased away my beauty, you know?"
"You like beauties too?" Huang Lei said with a cheeky grin, "Me too, especially ones like you."
"Crazy."
Lin Jin just felt disgusted at this motherf*cker, getting goosebumps all over. He had just been indirectly confessed to by a man?! And it was one he'd known for less than thirty minutes at that.
But then again, being confessed to by someone he knew well would probably be even more disgusting, right?
"I'm gonna catch up on sleep." Lin Jin checked on Braised Pork in the clothes bag and found it sleeping soundly, so he didn't bother further and rested his head against the window, feeling the train gradually start to move.
Lin Jin always preferred a quiet environment when he slept, to the point where he could only sleep well in complete silence. However, there were two exceptions. One was in the classroom and the other was in a vehicle.
No matter how noisy these two places were, Lin Jin could always sleep comfortably.
Yeah, it was quite comfortable.
Ten minutes later, as Lin Jin was drifting off, he suddenly felt something strange on his thigh.
