Umekawa's Inner Cool
Initially, Yue Hua Yang wanted to see Lin Fang's story gradually deepen. He wanted to know more about her situation in another family, but Lin Fang rolled her eyes. Moreover, she solemnly said that a woman's secrets should not be known to men too much. This was all summed up from historical experience.
Then, Lin Fang changed the topic and said," Didn't you want me to go shopping? Shall we go now?
Yue Hua Yang saw that Lin Fang did not mention the other family's matter that she wanted to blurt out. She even said it so eloquently that he could only give up. He could not force her to say something ugly, right? This was not his style.
The moment Yue Huayang saw the train ticket, he suddenly thought of a key thing. There was no seat information on the train ticket. The train ticket only indicated the train number and the position of the carriage, but there was no station ticket or seat ticket written on it. He didn't know what was going on. Therefore, he asked Lin Fang.
Lin Fang picked up the train ticket again and looked at it carefully. She asked curiously, It was really strange. He had never encountered such a thing before. Usually, the high-speed rail did not sell standing tickets. Only during the especially busy Spring Festival or Golden Week did they occasionally sell standing tickets. Wait a minute, I'll check online.
As she said this, she had already taken out her phone and entered the keywords to start searching.
Yue Hua Yang also stretched his head to look at her phone screen. The network was still very unstable at this time. Sometimes, there was no network at all. The refreshed icon turned for a few minutes, but the loading failed. He had to refresh it a few times.
After more than half an hour of torment, he finally understood a little bit. Originally, Leiyang City was only a small station, but now it had to be the only departure station for trains with millions of people. Because the scale of this high-speed rail station was relatively small, the supporting infrastructure could not complete such a difficult task of population movement.
There was no fixed and accurate schedule for the train. As long as the passengers boarded the train within the stipulated time, it would be fine. As for the seats, there was no need for them to exist. Because the train was so crowded that there was no place to sit.
Moreover, the train only accepted two destinations, one was Shaoguan in Guangdong, and the other was Guangzhou Station. If they wanted to go anywhere else, they would have to go through these two places to change trains. However, more than 90% of the people chose to go to Guangzhou Station because there was a transportation network that could pass through almost the whole country (except for non-safe areas). Of course, many places now needed to take detours.
They then read through the suggestions of many netizens and their riding experiences. Basically, it took three hours from Leiyang to Guangzhou, which was almost double the usual high-speed rail operation time. Most of the time was wasted on the bus ride in Leiyang City.
The control of items for safe travel was also very strict. Any flammable and explosive items were absolutely prohibited, even a small lighter. As for unknown liquids, they were also prohibited from being brought in.
The netizens also suggested not to bring large and medium-sized suitcases because the station management saw that such large and medium-sized suitcases were not allowed to enter and could only be forced to throw them away. They even suggested that people who wanted to take the train should drink as little water as possible, or even not drink water or eat anything, because it was really crowded in the train. It was very troublesome to go to the toilet because the toilet was also crowded with people.
They looked at their backpacks. One was a large size, and the other was a medium size. 80% of them were Lin Fang's clothes, shoes, and daily necessities. Needless to say, they must have exceeded the regulations of the railway department. Then, they poured the things out and began to put them in one by one. Every time she gave up a piece of clothing, shoes, and daily necessities, it made Lin Fang's heart ache. In the end, she only brought a few pieces of clothes, shoes, and some cosmetics. When she finished packing, she realized that other than the two backpacks, there was not a single small box. It seemed that he had to go out and buy something.
They put the things in the car, but Lin Fang insisted on taking a change of clothes to find a hotel to take a shower. She even prepared a set of clothes for Yue Huayang's former husband. They walked from National Route 107 to Leiyang Avenue, which was the most prosperous place in Leiyang City. Almost all the people in Hunan Province who wanted to go south needed to take the train from here. Although there were some soldiers guarding National Route 107 near Leiyang Avenue, theft still occurred from time to time. Serious theft forced the merchants on both sides of the national road to not open their doors to do business. However, Leiyang Avenue was not like this. There were two soldiers guarding the road every 10 to 20 meters. Moreover, the people there were all in a hurry. They were in a hurry. Sometimes, they needed to deal with some extra things. Of course, most of them needed to buy things. The shops on both sides of the wide avenue were crowded 24 hours a day. Since the construction of this high-speed railway station, the commercial and living areas of Leiyang City were concentrated here. After almost half a century of development, this place was comparable to the size of the Laocheng District.
The entire Leiyang Avenue restricted the movement of vehicles. Other than pedestrians, no vehicles were allowed to enter. The wide avenue was crowded with people, extending from the intersection of the national highway to the railway station.
Lin Fang had already asked about 12 hotels and inns that could accommodate people, but they were all full. There was not a single empty room, which made her very depressed.
There were many small-sized travel bags that were sold along the street, but the price had increased by more than 20 times compared to the previous year. The bottom price of each vendor was very firm, and it was as if you could buy it or not. After Yue Hua Yang inquired along the way, he found that the closer the price was to the train station, the more expensive it was. This made Yue Hua Yang decide to buy two on the way back.
Lin Fang still did not give up looking for a hotel or hotel. Finally, she walked into the 13th small hotel. Every room here was still full, but the front desk attendant carefully took out a card and told Lin Fang that this was a family-style house. The owner of this house wanted to take this opportunity to do some business and earn some money. If he really needed it, he could contact the person on the card.
Finally finding a place to take a bath and stay made Lin Fang extremely happy. Just as she was about to reach out to take the card, she realized that the waiter's hand suddenly shrank back, and her other hand made a gesture of asking for money, and she even said that she wanted 600 yuan.
Lin Fang and Yue Huayang were shocked by the price. It was just a small card. They hadn't even called yet. They weren't sure if there was a room! In the end, he had to pay 600 yuan in advance to buy this small card. She even said that it was an information fee.
After some discussion, they decided to let the waitress make the call and call the landlord over to show them the room. If they were confirmed to move in, the information fee would be increased to 1,000 yuan and handed over to the landlord. As for how to split the money, it was up to them. If they weren't sure, the information fee was only 100 yuan.
In the end, the waitress agreed. She personally called the landlord, who was also a middle-aged woman.
The landlord was very talkative. Along the way, she introduced her achievements and her many properties.
Landlord: Do you know the price of hotels nowadays?
The two of them shook their heads, indicating that they were not very sure.
Landlord: This is a crazy era! Did you know? Ever since the catastrophe that happened after the New Year, the number of houses in the safety zones across the country had skyrocketed! It was the same here! On the first day, someone tried to double the price, but in less than an hour, they were all sold out. There were even more people asking outside, and many people were even willing to pay double the price. This made everyone in this industry realize that there was a business opportunity. The next day, almost all the hotels and inns increased the price by three times on the basis of yesterday. This round trip increased the price by six times, but do you know the result? Even so, the supply was still in short supply! On the third day, the price was doubled again, but the supply was still tight? Did you know? It rained that afternoon, and some of the rooms were even sold out after the price was increased by five times!
After saying so much, the landlord turned his head to look at the two of them. He wanted to see their shocked expressions so that he could lay an ambush for him to raise the price.
The two of them were indeed very surprised. Yue Huayang thought about the possible high accommodation price and even wanted to retreat directly. However, after Lin Fang was shocked, she still showed an indifferent look. This made the landlord see a glimmer of hope for business. So she continued.
Landlord: You should also know that the government has set up a settlement, and those homeless people finally have a place to go. Originally, the price might have dropped, but a bigger advantage suddenly came. Our place has become the northernmost part of the entire Hunan area's Beijing-Guangzhou line. People are coming here like a tide, and we can't stop them. Therefore, the price of accommodation has also risen with the tide. Now, it has more than doubled from the original base.
Yue Hua Yang heard her beating around the bush, so he asked directly," Why don't you just tell me how much it costs for a day?
Landlord: 12,000 a day! This was an 80% discount compared to hotels.
Yue Hua Yang recovered from his shocked expression and continued to ask the next question. He said," How many hours is the minimum time you can stay here?
Landlord: 6000 yuan for six hours at least. If it's less than six hours, it'll be counted as six hours.
Yue Huayang: What if we only stay for two hours?
The landlord said impatiently,"You still have to pay 6000 yuan."
Yue Huayang: It's too expensive. We can't afford it.
Yue Huayang stopped Lin Fang after he finished speaking. She was a little impatient because of his decisive rejection because she felt that her body was getting more and more itchy. She was eager to find a place to take a shower.
Yue Hua Yang dared to say this because he saw a new place: At the bathing center.
He leaned into Lin Fang's ear and said,"I've found a new place for you. It's more comfortable than staying in a hotel." Lin Fang didn't believe it, but she still followed him.
When the landlord saw that the two of them had left without a word, he chased after them and even lowered the price to 5000 yuan. However, it still could not change their minds. In the end, he could only leave with a disdainful look.
The advertisement for the bathing center read," There's a single bathing pool inside, starting from 3,000 yuan for two hours. There's air conditioning inside, a lounge, and free fruit and hot tea."
Yue Hua Yang did not tell her where they were going, which made Lin Fang angry. When she turned around and saw the landlord leaving with a disdainful look, she regretted it at that moment, but when Yue Hua Yang pointed at the advertisement sign in front of her, her eyes lit up again.
They entered the bathing center and booked a small single room for 4000 yuan for two hours (the usual price was 1,000 yuan). Yue Hua Yang wanted to save a little, but because the 3,000 yuan per room was gone.
The room was divided into two parts. The outside was the lounge with a large soft leather sofa. There was a coffee table in front of the sofa. There were three very small fruit plates on the coffee table, one melon seed, one peanut, and one locally produced small mandarin orange. There was a large bathtub for two people in the room, and there was even a shower head. Although the heater and air conditioner were turned off, the room was still very warm. There were still water stains on the floor. Clearly, someone had just left after taking a shower.
Lin Fang was very satisfied with the place. She couldn't wait to turn on the water and start bathing. Yue Huayang was in the lounge outside. He ate one-third of the small tangerines in a row. This was the first time he had eaten fresh fruit since the new year. Then he began to crack melon seeds and peel peanuts to eat.
The reason why he was like this was because he was really afraid of awkwardness. Because in his life, he had never taken a bath with a woman, let alone a beautiful and enchanting woman.
Suddenly, Lin Fang shouted from inside,"Come in and see how these things are opened." Why can't I do it well?
The first time, he pretended not to hear her and continued eating and drinking. However, she immediately shouted a second time and he followed her out.
Lin Fang threw the coat she took off on the soft leather sofa, then reached out and pulled Yue Huayang into the inner room. As she spoke, she asked him to adjust the things inside.
Ever since Lin Fang walked out, her graceful figure was revealed after she took off her coat. Yue Huayang's eyes were fixed on her instantly. He followed her into the inner room with a dull expression. She didn't care at all or didn't notice his expression at all.
Yue Huayang quickly adjusted all the equipment. Lin Fang was still looking at the decoration of the room while praising him for finding a good place. She also said that she had never been to such a place.
Yue Hua Yang could only smile awkwardly, saying that his friends had invited him to such a place a few times.
Lin Fang had a strange expression on her face. Then, she said a comment that was unknown whether it was good or bad, Old driver!
Then, the two of them became awkward, and Yue Hua Yang had no choice but to retreat.
Initially, Yue Huayang wanted to let her shower first, and then he would go in after she was done. However, after an hour and another half an hour, he finally got impatient. She shouted a few times,"Are you done washing up?" In the end, there was no response. It wasn't until he knocked on the door a few times that she replied modestly that she had fallen asleep.
Yue Huayang was so angry that he lost his temper. The two of them began to talk through the door.
Yue Hua Yang: " It's been an hour and forty minutes. Are you done showering?" I haven't showered yet!
Lin Fang said," It's so comfortable to soak in the water. I still have to soak for another hour. At most, I'll go out and pay for it."
Yue Hua Yang: How long are you going to soak in this? Are you going to let me shower?
Lin Fang: " This…this…I don't care. I want to soak in it for a while longer."
Yue Hua Yang: " You can take your time soaking inside. I'm not going to wash up."
Lin Fang thought that he was angry, so she said embarrassedly," Why don't…why don't you take a shower next to me? There's a shower next to me!
When Yue Huayang heard her say this, his heart was relaxed again because he knew that after entering, something might happen that the two of them could not control. After all, it was still daytime, unlike the previous few times when it was carried out in the dark. The awkwardness in the depths of his heart controlled him, making him not dare to act rashly. However, when he saw that the time had already exceeded two hours, he did not know how long she was going to stay in the bath. He couldn't possibly come here and not take a shower. That would seem a little abnormal. At the same time, he thought to himself, why would a grown man like him be afraid of a little girl? What should have happened had already happened several times. At most, he would not look at her when he showered. Even if something happened, it should be over within an hour. Hence, he took off his underwear and walked in.
He was used to being thrifty, so he naturally thought of being thrifty. This was a virtue that had been passed down from generation to generation! Although many people did not understand, he felt that it was meaningful and persevered.
He walked into the inner room, almost naked. The first thing he saw was a huge pile of foam in the bathtub. Only her head was left by the bathtub outside. She had fallen asleep again.
He walked to the bottom of the shower and turned on the tap. With his back to her, he started to bathe in his underwear. Fifteen minutes later, he finished showering. Although he had experienced a few ups and downs, he controlled himself very well. She was still lying there asleep, and there was no movement.
He walked out with his back facing her and knocked on the door to remind her that it was time to wake up. The person inside replied,"Alright, alright. I'll get up now."
He had just changed into a new pair of underwear when she cried anxiously from the room. I can't get up. I don't have any strength in my body. Wuwuwuwu…
Yue Hua Yang rushed in with only his underwear on. As soon as he entered, he saw her crying as she tried to climb out of the bathtub. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get out. Instead, she cried even louder.
After he rushed over, he picked her up from behind. As both of them were facing the bathtub, the eye-catching red warning sign on the wall reflected in their eyes.
[Warning: Elderly people over 50 years old and people with cardiovascular and cardiovascular diseases, the water temperature should not exceed 40 degrees Celsius, and the bath time should not exceed 30 minutes.] The water temperature of a normal person should not exceed 45 degrees Celsius, and the bath time should not exceed one hour. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences!
After the two of them read the warning, one of them smiled bitterly and the other giggled.
As Lin Fang had no strength in her body, Yue Huayang carried her and rushed to the foam on her body. Her snow-white body began to appear, and the physical contact between the two people quickly reacted. She was also stimulated and reacted.
The two of them were like a pair of firewood and fire. At this moment, all the awkwardness was eliminated. What should have happened still happened.
The intense visual stimulation made Yue Hua Yang quickly end the battle. Then, Yue Hua Yang helped her put on her clothes one by one and helped her sit on the soft leather sofa. After that, he put on his clothes and watched her slowly move her hands around the food in the fruit plate.
Five minutes later, Yue Huayang came out of the inner room with three pairs of underwear that had just been washed. He looked at Lin Fang and sighed," Ever since I got together with you, I've been acting all cool in front of you!
Then, the two of them laughed again. He smiled bitterly and foolishly.
However, this time, the two of them switched positions.
The two of them left the room and went to pay another two thousand yuan. This made Yue Huayang sigh in his heart. In this world, other than the train ticket, everything else had increased by several times.
When they walked out of the bathing center, the sky was already dark. The entire Leiyang Avenue was brightly lit. However, under the bright lights, most of the people were walking anxiously or waiting. The two of them were also part of this.
They watched the pedestrians and vendors on the roadside argue over the price of the goods.
He also saw a few thieves and pickpockets being handcuffed under the lampposts and spat at by passersby.
He also saw women who had fallen into the dust trying to attract customers at extremely low prices by the roadside.
He watched as the dirty child begged for a bite of food behind an adult who was eating. Although Lin Fang gave him a few hundred yuan to buy something to eat, in the blink of an eye, the money in the child's hand was snatched away by a young man, and he quickly disappeared into the crowd. Lin Fang looked at the poor child and wanted to buy him something to eat, but no matter where she looked, she could not see any place that could sell food.
She suddenly felt a lingering fear. She wondered if her child would be like this child. He followed others just to have a bite of rice.
She suddenly burst into tears again, and all he could do was help her to the car as soon as possible.
On this brightly lit avenue, the bustling streets were still clearly visible. Pedestrians were still intertwined, and there were also young men under military hats holding steel guns. They made everyone afraid and feel safe. However, under the light, in the shadows of everyone, all kinds of uneasy feelings were spreading and interweaving.
Under the bright lights, some people's hearts were already twisted. The government and the military's high-handed rule was the last guarantee of light.
