Chapter 52 – Hostel

Chi Tang had always done things crisply and neatly. She would act immediately once she wanted to do something. 

She saw Zhang Meng’s Moments advertisement the night before and sent her a simple message. The next morning, before her father and Aunt Xu got up, she dragged her luggage out of the house. She didn’t send a message to her dad until she got in the car to Luyuan Mountain Scenic Area, saying that she would go to live with her classmates for a few days.

As she guessed, her dad scolded her for causing a lot of trouble, and then she ignored her. He didn’t care about her daughter anymore. He used to be too lazy to care about the only daughter in his life, not to mention that now the son he wanted was in his mother’s belly, so how could he give it to her?

The new messages on the phone came one after another, all from Zhang Meng. Ever since she contacted Zhang Meng to say that she was going to stay in her hotel for a few days last night, Zhang Meng was pleasantly surprised. She sent her countless messages excitedly and kept chatting until midnight.

After a semester of getting along, Zhang Meng no longer had the high coldness of the first meeting. After everyone got familiar, Zhang Meng completely changed in front of them. When getting along in private, she was just a babbler who often uttered amazing words. The coldness of the past was an illusion.

“Have you set off?”

“Get out of the car and call me directly. My uncle and I will pick you up. Don’t just get in those soliciting cars. Many of them are black cars. You are not safe by yourself. “

“Have you brought thick clothes? It’s much colder here than in the city. It doesn’t matter if you don’t bring them. If it’s too cold, you can wear my clothes. “

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Come to my house to play. I will take you to the scenic spot!

Zhang Meng’s excitement and happiness were obvious from the sudden visit to a friend. This kind of welcome overflowing the screen made Chi Tang feel much better. She was not popular in that family; the woman surnamed Xu was squeezed out intentionally or unintentionally, and her father’s increasingly indifferent attitude made her feel like a throat. Instead of staying at home, it was better to come out and avoid them.

On the drive, Chi Tang was still experiencing motion sickness as usual, but she did not. She just closed her eyes and calmed down. She didn’t dare sleep when she went out and took a car. 

When the car drove out of the city, green hills and trees appeared on both sides, and the body was a little bumpy. Chi Tang took a sip of mineral water and pressed down on nausea, and could not help but think of You Yu.

She had sat with You Yu in the car several times before. She dared to feel at ease.

She was thinking of You Yu, so she took out her mobile phone and sent her a voice message.

She felt dizzy while looking at the screen of the mobile phone. Chi Tang ignored the news and continued to close her eyes and rest. You Yu just got ready to go to class and received the message when she stood up, clicked on the voice, and put it in her ear to listen.

“I took the car to Zhang Meng’s house.”

Go to Zhang Meng’s house? You Yu was taken aback and listened carefully again. Chi Tang’s voice was a little hoarse, and there was the sound of a car in the background. She was indeed in the car.

If it’s fine, why would Chi Tang go to Zhang Meng’s house? Did she give birth to something in her house, her father beat him again, and she quarreled with her family again?

You Yu was worried for a while, but she sent a few messages and didn’t reply. You Yu thought for a while and called Zhang Meng directly to ask her about Chi Tang.

Zhang Meng received this unexpected call. You Yu’s question, she replied a little dazedly: “Chi Tang is going to stay in my hotel. It is estimated that she will be there soon. Then I will pick her up. Huh? What’s the matter at home? I don’t know. Didn’t she feel bored, so she wanted to come here to play? Anyway, she didn’t say it. She should be fine. “

You Yu felt even more worried when she heard that and told Zhang Meng, “Chi Tang might be at odds with her family. Then you can ask for a bit. If she is unhappy, then stop asking. “

Zhang Meng: “I see. Don’t worry. If you have a conflict with your family, it would be nice to come to the scenic spot here to relax.”

You Yu felt relieved when her friend said this, and then remembered other questions: “There is also Chi Tang driving motion sickness. It will be very uncomfortable when you arrive. You said you wanted to pick her up and bring her some oranges. When driving. Open the car window.”

Zhang Meng: “Okay, I know, I have motion sickness. I usually have all the windows open when I ride in a car. “

You Yu continued to exhort, “Chi Tang must be in a bad mood. If there is something unusual about her, you can call me, okay?”

Zhang Meng: “Okay, don’t worry.”

Listening to these endless instructions, Zhang Meng’s mood was a little unspeakable. While she was full of promises, she heard someone on the phone saying, “You Yu, are you going to go to class?”

You Yu said, and then said to her on the phone: “When she arrives, you will send me another message.”

Zhang Meng rolled her eyes. “You guys are like boyfriend and girlfriend friends.”

You Yu: “…”

She quieted down, and suddenly there was a harsh class bell.

You Yu finally said, “Thank you. I’ll hang up first.”

Finally, hung up, Zhang Meng backhandedly sent a message to Chi Tang, 

“Just now, You Yu called me and told me a lot. I feel that the two of you are just like conflicting lovers. One does not answer the phone, and the other has to do it. Call friends and ask them to take care of themselves. “

When Chi Tang got out of the car, she turned on the phone and checked the message after slowing down. Seeing Zhang Meng’s complaint, her expression was subtle for an instant. She read too many romance novels. Reply to her easily:

“I’m here.”

“Also, there is no conflict.”

Zhang Meng, who was waiting outside the station with her uncle, looked at the message speechlessly. You respond to the conflict, but you respond as a couple! Right, you feel the same way!

Upon receiving Chi Tang, Zhang Meng dragged her to talk. Zhang Meng’s uncle, a slender, thin middle-aged man, put the suitcase in the trunk for her and greeted the two people getting on the bus.

The windows of the van were all open. Although it was colder, the cold dispelled the discomfort caused by motion sickness. Zhang Meng also picked up a bag of oranges and placed it on Chi Tang’s lap. 

“Hey, You Yu asked me to bring you the oranges. She wants me to send her a message and tell her you are safe when you arrive. I’m too lazy to send it. You post it yourself.”

Chi Tang took a picture of the orange and posted it.

“Arrived.”

The opposite quickly came back with a message: “Okay, pay attention to safety.”

Zhang Meng came to see their news, inexplicably funny and a little speechless: “My mom usually sends me messages like this.”

During this part of the journey, the scent of oranges concealed the smell of the car, and the air flowing outside the window was the scent of trees. 

The two of them had no motion sickness while chatting and arrived at the Lemon Hotel smoothly.

The proprietress of the Lemon Hotel was Zhang Meng’s mother. After divorcing her husband, she took her daughter to run this small hotel alone. She was a fat, plump aunt.

The reticent uncle drove the car to town to get groceries, and Zhang Meng’s mother, who was waiting at the hotel’s door, welcomed Chi Tang with a smile.

“Just call me Aunt Ning. A few of Mengmeng’s classmates come to play at home. Don’t treat this like a hotel when you come here. I will treat the children. But how many days are you going to stay here? It’s nearing the New Year. If you go back, say it early. Otherwise, if it’s difficult to go out by car because of the heavy snow, I will arrange a car for you. But if you’re at home on holiday, you don’t have to rush back. You can stay here for a few more days and play with Meng Meng. Auntie is very welcome! “

Zhang Meng’s mother’s style was a little like Wei Xingxing’s; her enthusiasm was contagious, but this posture of talking was overwhelming.

Chi Tang was the last to deal with this kind of old man. She couldn’t even speak, and simply responded twice when she saw a gap. Zhang Meng also knows her mother’s style. The whole person was dead, so I quickly pulled Chi Tang into the room and let her show off the fatal care of the middle-aged woman.

“Come in, you are staying in this room. This is not for hotel guests. It is the guest room where the guests are staying. Well, the quilts are all sun-dried, and the sheets were freshly changed this morning. ” Zhang Meng was very competent in introducing her to the hotel.

“I haven’t checked in yet, and I haven’t paid for the room.” Chi Tang said.

Zhang Meng waved her hand. “No, didn’t my mom tell me to entertain my friends? You don’t need to pay.”

Chi Tang: “I can’t live without paying. I will leave in the afternoon.”

Zhang Meng: “You still want to go when you are here, but you can’t go.”

Chi Tang:”… Are you a black shop?”

Zhang Meng: “Anyway, don’t be so stubborn. Do you not consider me a friend? “

Chi Tang: “The exciting general method is useless. I have to pay for accommodation and meals, otherwise I am embarrassed to live.”

Most children at that age were always embarrassed when it came to money, but Chi Tang wasn’t. Seeing Zhang Meng hesitate, she naturally said, “Either you give me a discount or a friendly price.”

Zhang Meng had to scratch her face and agree, “All right, let me tell my mother.” Anyway, she can’t deal with her mother, and Chi Tang certainly can’t.

She stepped downstairs, Chi Tang opened the French windows, and walked to the platform outside. The platform was facing the mountain, and there were two pots of bluegrass. She went up and inspected and found the bluegrass had buds and was about to bloom.

She took a photo and sent it to You Yu to see.
