EBE Chapter 83 Qin Yang
Chapter 83 Qin Yang
On a chilly morning, nothing beats a hot, steaming meat bun and a warm cup of soy milk!
Lu Yuanqing finished the last sip of soy milk with satisfaction, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Lu Yuanbo, who was eating with great gusto.
This guy is as carefree as ever. Of all the children in the family, he's the only one who never questions how Lu Yuanqing ended up with the money and tickets.
He didn't even care how much he spent.
He would eat as long as Lu Yuanqing gave him food.
This pleased Lu Yuanqing, who then went along.
After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they leisurely waited by the large package until the train arrived at the station.
The train, which was originally scheduled to arrive at 8:30, was delayed by half an hour when Lu Yuanqing went to buy breakfast.
Waiting for the bus is a long and arduous process, leaving one exhausted.
But as soon as they saw the train arrive at the station, everyone perked up and ran to the platform with their luggage.
The ticket inspector was also urging passengers to enter the station for ticket inspection.
By the time Lu Yuanqing finally managed to squeeze onto the train with Lu Yuanbo and find a seat, it was already 9:10.
Don't be fooled by the crowded train when you board; once you're on the train, you'll find that there are plenty of empty seats in the carriages they're in.
Lu Yuanqing put his luggage on the luggage rack and sat down with Lu Yuanbo.
Their seats were right next to each other, and as they sat side by side, they faced a young man who was eating noodles heartily from an aluminum lunchbox.
The moment Lu Yuanqing sat down, his sharp eyes spotted a fried egg and a large, oily piece of meat in his lunchbox.
The food was good!
The young man wore a faded Zhongshan suit without any patches, and a pen was clipped to his chest pocket. He wore khaki trousers and shiny three-section leather shoes, and an imported watch on his wrist. He had a decent appearance, not the typical pretty boy look.
Lu Yuanqing, with his pretty-boy looks, silently thought to himself: Not as good-looking as him!
The whistle sounded, and the train slowly started moving, making a distinctive clanging sound.
Taking a long-distance train is very boring, especially since Lu Yuanqing hadn't rested well. Just a few minutes after boarding, seeing Lu Yuanbo still looking around with great energy, Lu Yuanqing, feeling old, said something to him, then crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and began to rest!
We didn't arrive in Jiang'an City until the afternoon, around lunchtime, having stopped at two stations along the way.
Perhaps due to exhaustion, Lu Yuanqing actually fell asleep on the somewhat noisy train.
He was awakened by the aroma of a dish.
After stopping at two stations, many people boarded, and the carriage was surprisingly full.
This is because one of the stations was a large station, and a lot of people boarded it.
The young man opposite greeted Lu Yuanqing warmly when he saw him wake up, "Where are you going, comrade?"
“Jiang’an City!” Lu Yuanqing replied. “And you?”
The young man was surprised, then chuckled and said, "Me too, what a coincidence! I boarded the train at the starting station and have been on the train the whole way. I'm exhausted. My name is Qin Yang, and I'm a local from Jiang'an City. What's your name, comrade?"
"My name is Lu Yuanqing, and this is my younger brother, Lu Yuanbo!"
Qin Yang is a local of Jiang'an City. He was on a business trip and had just returned home.
Lu Yuanqing didn't consider himself to be the kind of person who could easily discern whether someone was good or bad. Besides, people are good at pretending, so it's normal not to be able to see things clearly.
He didn't sense any malice from Qin Yang; he just felt that this person was unusually...enthusiastic.
Are people like this nowadays? They can chat with strangers so easily.
Lu Yuanqing was not an introverted person, and with Qin Yang's enthusiasm, they quickly became acquainted.
Before long, Qin Yang had bought a lot of food with money and food coupons, and invited, "Comrade Lu Yuanqing, and this... Comrade Yuanbo, please have some with us!"
There weren't many food options available on the train.
But Qin Yang bought both meat dishes.
Qin Yang was clearly not short of money. The rice and the two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes smelled so good that the people sitting next to him kept swallowing their saliva. They would turn their heads to take a look every now and then, and then go back to eating the dry food they had brought.
"No need, we brought food!" Lu Yuanqing quickly refused.
He wanted to buy something hot to eat, but Lu Yuanhuan had boiled ten eggs for them, giving two to Cheng He, and the remaining eight boiled eggs would spoil if they weren't eaten.
"Here you go!" Lu Yuanqing handed it to Lu Yuanbo first.
When he first arrived, the food was poor, with no oil or meat. Lu Yuanhuan would generously make him an egg drop soup, which he would cherish and drink.
On his birthday, Lu Yuanhuan specially cooked him an egg (a special treat for everyone in the Lu family on their birthdays, where they get to eat a whole egg). He was so moved by the meal that he almost burst into tears.
He forgot that he actually disliked boiled eggs the most; he used to only like fried eggs.
Now, eating boiled eggs as a meal, Lu Yuanqing struggled to swallow them, then took a big gulp of warm water, which finally made him feel less choked.
Lu Yuanbo ate three eggs, while Lu Yuanqing only ate two before stopping.
Lu Yuanqing handed three eggs to Qin Yang, thanking him for putting some meat on Lu Yuanbo's plate.
It wasn't his imagination; Qin Yang was indeed looking at Lu Yuanbo.
Lu Yuanqing watched with a sullen face as Qin Yang excitedly pulled Lu Yuanbo away to get hot water.
What was Qin Yang saying—no, he was asking—Lu Yuanbo, who seemed completely oblivious to the dangers of the world, was gesturing wildly as he answered.
"System, is the system here? What's the deal with this Qin Yang? Is he a human trafficker?"
Lu Yuanqing pressed the system for answers.
It's impossible for them to be human traffickers!
What human trafficker would abduct a burly man?
Lu Yuanbo resembles his father, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a look that is currently very popular.
Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanhuan resemble their mother, but their features are much more delicate.
With Lu Yuanqing supporting the family over the past year, Lu Yuanbo is no longer as thin as he was at the beginning. At 175 cm tall, he looks quite reassuring.
The system did not respond to Lu Yuanqing.
Lu Yuanqing waited a long time for a reply before belatedly realizing that he had just offended the system and hadn't had time to comfort it yet.
Tsk, what a stingy system.
However, Lu Yuanqing said that he also had a temper. Last time, he waited for a whole week, which was too boring. No one kept him company at night, so he had to condescend to coax the system.
It hasn't even been 24 hours yet!
never mind!
Sensing Lu Yuanqing's thoughts, System 666, already frustrated, became even more frustrated.
It's so unlucky. Why did it have to be bound to Lu Yuanqing as its host? This host just loves to bully it.
It's a whole system, yet it can't even win an argument with him!
And it gets bullied by the host! It's the only system like this!
Lu Yuanqing was oblivious to the system's frustration and observed Qin Yang's actions with great curiosity.
It wasn't that he wasn't nervous, but Qin Yang was being a bit too enthusiastic towards Lu Yuanbo, though he kept subtly inquiring about Lu Yuanbo's family situation.
With his eyes closed, Lu Yuanqing listened openly to the man's deception of Lu Yuanbo, even though the two thought he was asleep.
The questions were all about his family, his siblings, and his parents, which piqued Lu Yuanqing's curiosity.
He was now extremely curious about what exactly was going on with this Qin Yang.
According to the logic of the novel, people who inquire about family circumstances generally fall into a few categories.
Lu Yuanqing thought for a moment, then kept his eyes closed and did not disturb Qin Yang.
However, upon hearing that Lu Yuanbo was completely unguarded and answered whatever anyone asked, Lu Yuanqing rolled his eyes inwardly.
I told him repeatedly at home to be careful who he went out with.
Well! He agreed at home, but forgot about it the moment he heard it. He'll just blurt out whatever someone says without holding back.
……
At 3 p.m., the train arrived in Jiang'an City.
Lu Yuanqing led Lu Yuanbo out of the car.
Lu Yuanqing moved with lightning speed. Before the train even stopped, he grabbed the luggage from the overhead rack and pulled Lu Yuanbo toward the door.
"Hurry up, or it'll be difficult to get off the bus when there are too many people!"
In order to catch the train, people outside don't care about who gets off first and who gets on later; as soon as the train doors open, they rush on.
Qin Yang had a lot of stuff, and it wasn't until Lu Yuanqing pulled him toward the door that he realized what was happening and hurriedly grabbed his luggage.
However, he had a lot of luggage, and by the time he had collected it all, the area between his seat and the train door was already completely blocked by people getting off.
Qin Yang wasn't about to let this opportunity pass. Carrying his luggage, he ignored the curses of the others and squeezed his way towards the Lu brothers.
Lu Yuanqing had been observing Qin Yang the whole time, and upon seeing this, his eyebrows twitched.
That's really persistent!
