At the junction of the desolate West District and the prosperous East District of Hongfu City, even the neon lights in the high-rise buildings seem to be more out of place, but the rhythm of people's lives is still as consistent as possible with the East District.Even though it has fallen into the night, the streets are still brightly lit and the air is filled with the joyful smell of late-night snacks.
"Cheers! One last drink!"
The students' cheeks were red as they drank, and they staggered around. The wine splashed from the cups and fell on the tablecloth and clothes.
The knocking of the glass on the table was mixed with sighs - although I wasn't completely happy yet, it was already time to leave.
Many students had to continue working with their professors the next day, and the ancient ruins dinner ended at nine o'clock in the evening.
Du Jinghua took off the coat from the rack, put it on and buttoned it up.She put her hands in her pockets, her back straight amid the rich aroma of vegetables, and her brows were slightly furrowed.
Classmate Zhang Shudi, whose upper body was almost touching the table, looked at her with his head raised, and sighed after a long time: "Your temperament now is completely different from that of your freshman and sophomore years. You can definitely bluff all the HR." He gave a thumbs up, "How sanctimonious!"
"..."
Zhou west, who also drank too much, held his head and thought hard: "Is sanctimonious a good word?"
Du Jinghua smiled slowly and said calmly: "I think the currently controversial bio-intelligence plan is very reasonable. Adding a neural connector to the tongue to allow the brain to speak on its behalf may be more helpful in saving the social atmosphere of our class."
Monitor Lu Chenyi laughed beside him for a while before asking, "What were you thinking about just now? I see you have been in a state of mind tonight."
Du Jinghua pressed his temples with one hand: "We are considering the details of supplying energy for our own basal metabolism."
The smile on Lu Chenyi's face did not change at all, his eyes swept over the empty glass bottles on the table, and his tone was friendly: "Please express it again in terms that will not easily arouse others' desire to attack."
Du Jinghua spread his hands: "Just thinking about what I ate just now?"
Lu Chenyi: "..."
She glanced at the glass in front of Du Jinghua and said to other students: "She may be drunk from apple juice. Someone will take her to the station."
Du Jinghua shook his head and refused, saying seriously: "No, I can't let myself affect the reputation of apple juice."
College students who drink too much talk nonsense.
...Even those who haven’t drunk much will do the same.
At the end of the dinner, Du Jinghua was reflecting on herself and felt that her recent state had been too lax. Speaking of which, when did she start to forget?
She suspected that she had too many things in the last school year. She was busy running around too much and failed to maintain the basic sleep time, which affected her memory.
After leaving the box, the bustling crowd dispersed from the door.After Du Jinghua said goodbye to his classmates, he went to the nearest station and took the skytrain home.
The train was speeding through the sky, and she stared at the flowing and flashing neon lights outside the window. Her thoughts wandered to an unknown place. When she came back to her senses, the electronic sound was already ringing——
"We have arrived at Chihe Middle Road Station. Passengers in need please get off the train from the right door..."
Chihe Middle Road Station is located in the West District of Hongfu City, very close to Dujinghua’s temporary residence during the winter vacation.
Du Jinghua felt dizzy when he stood up from his seat.She suspected that the squad leader had told her that alcohol was really added to the apple juice today.
The West District is remote, and the traffic and lights that represent nightlife have long been left behind. When Du Jinghua walked out of the station, he could even hear the echo of his own footsteps.
The night wind mixed with the winter chill, Du Jinghua wrapped his coat tightly and walked quickly towards the exit of the station.
The area around the station was not busy, and there were only a few pedestrians within her field of vision.The surrounding urban construction is not good either. Taking the sky rail station as an example, among the lighting lights above the hall, on average, one out of ten lights is completely extinguished, two are barely shining, and three are flickering on and off.
It was dark outside the station exit. It was still one kilometer away from Du Jinghua's destination. She could call a smart car to pick her up, but poverty made her always choose to walk.
Du Jinghua stared at the night outside the station.
