Double Life: My whole world is you

Cheng Qiao replied happily, "Happy New Year, Yun."

"Qiao, Happy New Year! And us too." Cheng Qiao heard the voices of Cheng Dan and Cheng Lin.

"Dan, Lin, you guys are together too!"

"Not only are we together, guess where we are now?" Cheng Dan asked.

Cheng Qiao heard the whirring sound of the wind and was startled and asked curiously, "Huh?"

"What a coincidence! We are about to arrive at Xinghua Middle School. Where is your home?" Cheng Lin asked.

"Ah?" Cheng Qiao hadn't expected this. She realized it a little late. "You guys are coming to the city?"

"Yes! Come and pick us up!" Cheng Yun said, "We'll be waiting for you at Xinghua Middle School."

"Okay." Cheng Qiao responded excitedly and then said a few words to Cheng's mother and prepared to go out.

Cheng's mother chased out and ordered, "Qiao, it's New Year's Day, bring them back for a cup of tea."

"Okay, Mom." Cheng Qiao replied loudly as she walked down the stairs.

When Cheng Qiao arrived, the three of them stood beside the school gate and looked inside curiously.

"Yun, Dan, Lin." Cheng Qiao called out to everyone happily.

Cheng Lin turned around and saw her, rushed towards her and hugged her, "Qiao."

Cheng Qiao was a little surprised. Was she so excited? But it was only for a moment. She gently patted her back and comforted her, "I miss you too."

After the two separated, Cheng Qiao asked, "How did you get here?"

"There was a truck going to our bay to deliver something, and Lin drove the truck to bring us here." Cheng Yun explained.

"It was so uncomfortable squatting in the back for 40 to 50 minutes." Cheng Dan complained, "I really didn't want to come, but Lin forced me to come."

"Thank you for your hard work. Please come to my house and have a seat." Cheng Qiao said to the three of them.

"Qiao, no." Cheng Lin looked at her. Although she was smiling, Cheng Qiao felt tears in her eyes. At this time, she continued, "We still need to go back later. You can chat with us for a while at the station ahead."

"Lin, I don't care. You just promised us that you would rent a taxi to go back later." Cheng Dan said dissatisfiedly.

"No problem, I will do what I promised you." Cheng Lin smiled and held one hand. Cheng Qiao took them to the bus stop not far away. At this time, the bus stop only had a simple sign and no seats were reserved. But there was a flower bed between the road and the store. Cheng Qiao took out toilet paper from her pocket and put it on the flower bed, and the four of them sat on it.

Cheng Qiao looked around. She wanted to find a small store to buy a bottle of water for the group, but the people in their small town were very obsessed with the New Year. The shops next to the school were all closed. Opposite was a hotel and an Agricultural Bank, and the few other small shops were also closed. Finally, she was a little annoyed, "I should have brought some food from home."

"Yes, it's so boring!" Cheng Dan responded.

"It's rare for us to get together, let's talk!" Cheng Yun said, looking at Cheng Qiao, "Qiao, I went to No. 4 Middle School. I heard that you are in Xinghua. How is Xinghua?"

"Very good." Cheng Qiao responded with a smile.

"What a coincidence! Didn't you get into the No. 1 Middle School in the city with the first place? How did you go to Xinghua?" Cheng Dan asked in confusion.

"Xinghua offers free tuition." Cheng Qiao briefly explained and then asked, "Dan, where did you go?"

"I work in a garment factory in the next city." Cheng Dan complained, "Coincidentally, I went to the place you dislike the most."

"How is the garment factory? Are you tired?" Cheng Lin asked quickly.

"To be honest, compared to the third year of junior high school, I think it's not so bad. Haha." Cheng Dan laughed and then started to complain, "At least there is one day off a week. When we were in the third year of junior high school, we only had one day off a month, sometimes only one day off every two months. And we got up at 5:30 and didn't finish evening self-study until 10:30."

"After hearing what you said, I feel like work isn't that hard anymore." Cheng Lin also responded with a smile.

"That's right! When I first started working at the garment factory, I was worried that I couldn't stand it, but after I started working, I felt much more comfortable than studying." Cheng Dan said, then looked at Cheng Qiao and Cheng Yun, his eyes full of sympathy, "It's really not easy for you two. You have to endure another three years. And high school is even harder than junior high school."

"Yeah, our school only has one and a half days off a month." Cheng Yun also complained, and she looked at Cheng Qiao next to her, "Qiao, I heard that Xinghua only has one and a half days off a week?"

Cheng Qiao nodded, "Yes, there will be no evening self-study classes, and the self-study will last until 9:30."

"Your school is indeed an aristocratic school, it's really quite comfortable." Cheng Yun had a hint of envy in his eyes, "I heard that your school has air conditioning everywhere except the toilets?"

Cheng Qiao recalled it carefully, "It seems to be true. There are cafeterias and dormitories."

"Do all dormitories have private bathrooms?" Cheng Yun asked and saw Cheng Qiao nod. The envy in her eyes deepened. "When I first went there, I was quite happy that our school had a public bathroom on the first floor. But when I compared it with your school, I felt it was not so good."

"Coincidentally, compared to your school, my job isn't that great." Cheng Dan also complained, "Our dormitory is similar to the dormitory in our junior high school, with large beds and at least ten people living in one dormitory. It just has a small, shabby bathroom. And there's only one electric fan in the summer."

Cheng Qiao nodded, "It's just that the fees are a bit expensive, and the water and electricity bills are shared equally by us students."

"Even if it's a flat beach, I still want air conditioning, otherwise I can't sleep well in the summer..."

"I want a separate bathroom more than air conditioning..."

Cheng Lin listened to the discussion of the three people quietly, with a smile on her face, but Cheng Qiao could clearly feel that her smile was a little sad. So she asked, "Lin, how are you doing outside?"

She was immersed in the world of the three of them, and didn't expect Cheng Qiao to ask her. She smiled and simply replied with a few words, "Very good."

"Lin, I'm so sorry." Cheng Yun held her hand, and Cheng Dan also stood up and held her other hand. Cheng Qiao was confused, and she seemed to have thought of something, and asked with some difficulty, "Lin, your grandmother...?"

Cheng Lin nodded, but couldn't hold back her tears. "He passed away last month. He didn't make it past the New Year."

Cheng Qiao immediately turned around and hugged her, "Lin, I'm sorry."

She immediately wiped away her tears and smiled at everyone, "Today is a happy day for us sisters to get together, so let's not talk about these unhappy things."

"Yes, let me tell you some gossip." Cheng Dan said immediately, "There is a girl named Xiaoyu in our factory. She has had five boyfriends in three months, and I heard that she slept with all of them."

After hearing her words, everyone looked at her in surprise. After all, as a teenager, it was still a bit awkward to talk about this. Cheng Dan waved his hand, "What's the big deal? Do you know our Wan Long? He's getting married next month."
