Chapter 38 Keeping an Appointment
Lu Mingfei was stunned when he heard this.

What’s the matter? Does this mean I will pursue Liu Miaomiao?

Lu Mingfei wanted to say something about the previous topic, but he saw Qiao Yiran stood up and dusted off his body.

"Okay, we've rested for so long, let's go back."

"Okay, okay..."

There is actually a cable car from the North Eighth Floor to the starting point of the Badaling Great Wall, but Qiao Yiran said he wanted to walk back along the same route, so Lu Mingfei had no choice but to accompany her.

When they were almost back to the starting point, except for Lu Mingfei and his companion, almost all the classmates had gathered.

A few people who looked like college students ran over shyly, trying to chat up Liu Miaomiao or something, but were immediately stopped and chased away by physical education teacher Chen who came with the team.

"Are you back?" Seeing Qiao Yiran and Lu Mingfei coming back, Liu Miaomiao immediately approached with a smile.

"I'm back, I'm back." Qiao Yiran subconsciously wanted to hug Liu Miaomiao, but immediately realized that he was sweating all over, and he subconsciously put his raised arms down.

But Liu Miaomiao didn't feel disgusted at all. She took the initiative to hug Qiao Yiran, and then the two of them held hands and whispered to each other.

Although it was a whisper, there was no intention to lower the volume, so Lu Mingfei, who was standing one meter away, could hear it clearly.

"Where did you climb to?"

"We have climbed to the eighth floor in the north, the Hero's Slope."

"Wow, you guys made it to the top."

"Hey, it's okay. It's just that Lu Mingfei surprised me. I didn't expect that he could keep up with me. By the way, why did those guys who looked like college students come to you just now?"

“They want my QQ number.”

"As expected of Miaomiao, people always chat with her when she travels."

"It's just that you're not here. If you were here, they would have asked you for it too..."

……

After gathering and resting, we asked a passerby to take a group photo for the whole class, and our morning trip to the Great Wall officially came to an end.

We first took the bus back to the hotel to adjust ourselves, and then went to visit Imperial University and Huaqing University.

However, the overall itinerary was similar to that in the morning.

First, we went on a tour as a class, then had free activities in groups, and finally gathered together to take a group photo.

Apart from the private conversation with Qiao Yiran at the Badaling Great Wall, Lu Mingfei never spent time alone with other people, and Qiao Yiran never took the initiative to mention the topic they had talked about before.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, most of the three-day and two-night journey has passed.

The next afternoon, they arrived at the Summer Palace.

Lu Mingfei looked at the lake in front of him. This was an inner lake in the Summer Palace, called Kunming Lake. Opposite the lake was Longevity Mountain, where there was a magnificent temple with a lot of incense.

It is said that the marriage fortunes in the temple are very effective, but Lu Mingfei is a single man now and has no desire to go there.

Liu Miaomiao and Qiao Yiran were sitting in a long corridor not far away, giggling and fiddling with their SLR cameras, their room as spacious as a pavilion leaning against a railing.

The summer of 2006 felt like the season when everything could be done.

"Lu Mingfei?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly turned around, and Liu Miaomiao approached quietly with her hands behind her back, stepping on the fragrant muddy ground with green grass. "What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei asked. This was the first time that Liu Miaomiao took the initiative to talk to him in the past two days.

"Do you have time tomorrow afternoon?" Liu Miaomiao looked at him.

"what?"

"I remember you said you were going to bring something to your uncle and aunt tomorrow. I wonder if you can finish it tomorrow morning."

Liu Miaomiao paused, then continued, "If you can finish your work tomorrow morning, can we meet at Wangfujing Street in the afternoon? I have something...I want to tell you."

Make an appointment with yourself?
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt like Tang Monk being visited by the White Bone Demon.

I remember the day before yesterday, when Qiao Yiran asked me if I wanted to go to Yangmeizhuxie Street with them, Liu Miaomiao didn't seem to be very willing. Why did she take the initiative to look for me now?

What could she want to talk to me about?
Lu Mingfei thought for a while and nodded: "It's no problem for us to meet, but we have to make an appointment in advance. I don't have a cell phone, so it's not convenient to contact you."

After earning his first sum of money, he had to buy a mobile phone. Having gotten used to life in the smart age, Lu Mingfei was not used to the days when he could only communicate through a telephone booth.

"Okay." Liu Miaomiao nodded, "Then I'll tell you the meeting place after discussing it with Yiran tonight."

"Row."

……

During the free time the next day, Lu Mingfei slept in for the first time in a long time.

Lu Mingfei had asked Lily to bring his aunt the Erba Sauce and pickles a day in advance. Lily was also very considerate and took the initiative to take charge of the express delivery for Lu Mingfei.

Mingfei felt a little embarrassed while cleaning the road, and thought to himself it was a pity that there was no Dianping.com yet, otherwise he would have given a good review for your hotel.

Lu Mingfei slept until almost noon, then he got up, washed, had a free meal in the restaurant of the Black Prince Hotel, and then went out to the subway station.

Of course, Lu Mingfei did not forget to buy a 50-yuan phone card and a map of the capital at the newsstand near the subway station.

After all, without a cell phone, if they couldn't meet, they could only rely on a phone booth to contact each other. Lu Mingfei had already asked for Liu Miaomiao's phone number in advance.

"Wangfujing Street, Wangfujing Street..."

Lu Mingfei spread out the map and looked for the location of Wangfujing Street. He discovered that he had to take Metro Line 7 from the hotel entrance, get off at Ciqikou Station, transfer to Metro Line 5, get off at Dongdan Station, and transfer to Metro Line 1 to reach Wangfujing Street.

It seems that a big city is not a good thing. The subway lines are denser than a spider web, making it difficult for people to get around.

Lu Mingfei went down the subway passage, bought a few small plastic disc-like subway tickets from the self-service ticket machine, and followed the crowded crowd onto the subway.

The subway was so packed with people that there was no place to even hold onto the handrails.

But there is no need to hold the handrail. People can lean against each other and there is no need to worry about losing balance.

The girl standing back to back with Lu Mingfei seemed to be a junior high school girl, because Lu Mingfei saw that she was wearing a junior high school uniform. The girl had a ponytail and was holding a huge school bag in front of her chest.

Watching the girl swaying back and forth in the crowded crowd, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh that the students in the capital seemed to be quite competitive, and even had to take extra classes on weekends during the summer vacation.

As they arrived at Ciqikou Station, Lu Mingfei immediately followed the crowd and escaped from the crowded carriage. Coincidentally, Lu Mingfei noticed out of the corner of his eye that the junior high school student who was on the subway just now also got off at this station.

"She's also going to transfer to Line 5?"

The thought just came to Lu Mingfei’s mind, and then he felt a little amused for worrying about nothing.

As one of the earliest subway networks in the country, the capital's subway handles an unknown number of passengers every day. It is not uncommon for people to get off and transfer at transfer stations.

I better change to Line 7 immediately, otherwise I will miss the appointment with Liu Miaomiao.
But why did the back of that girl and the school uniform she was wearing look so familiar?
