[-]. Idle Man Chen Tianhang

It was the most boring moment when we approached Datong Station.

Chen Tianhang sat on the lower berth of the cramped car.

At this moment, three people were tightly seated on the lower bunk, Chen Tianhang and Chen Chen also had an uncle.There were also three people sitting on the lower berth opposite, a woman with two children.Six people squeezed into the narrow space of the carriage.

According to the train schedule, we should have arrived in Datong by now.Before dawn, the conductors had already urged them to get up one by one, pack up their things, and prepare to get off the train.

In Datong in the middle of winter, the dawn is very late, and the train is still running in the hazy dawn at this moment.

Because of the snow, the train is sliding slowly on the long track. Outside the window is the icy north wind, mixed with occasional scattered snowflakes. There is still heavy frost on the window, and the sky outside the window can only be seen vaguely. A little bright color.

"Dear passengers and friends, the train is about to arrive at Datong Station, Datong Station. The time to arrive at Datong Station is 9:05 on schedule. The train is expected to be delayed by 45 minutes, 45 minutes. Please understand the inconvenience caused to you... "

Chen Tianhang had been sitting on the lower berth for more than half an hour, but the train was still sliding slowly, as if he didn't know when he would arrive at his destination.

On the radio in the carriage is a recurring Datong tourism promotional slogan: "Visiting the Hanging Temple on Mount Heng, appreciating the Buddha in the Yungang Grottoes, visiting the ancient capital city of the Northern Wei Dynasty... the ancient capital, the capital of Buddha, and the capital of ecology; the same heart, the same dream, the world is in harmony... "

Chen Tianhang flicked his phone out of boredom, maybe because he didn't have many friends, Chen Tianhang didn't usually check Moments, but today was too boring, he opened Moments after a long absence.

"Sparks are passed down from generation to generation, and brilliance will last forever—to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Baicheng Institute of Technology."

"Glory builds the past, innovation shapes the future——Baicheng Institute of Technology's 80th anniversary celebration speech."

"Beautiful pictures! The 80th anniversary is here, and I will show you the new look of 'Bai Gong'."

"North China Famous School, Top of Science and Engineering——Celebrating the 80th Anniversary of Baicheng Institute of Technology".

"Exclusive T-shirt for the school celebration to welcome you".

"Forward! Draw the exclusive 80th anniversary USB flash drive of the energy department!"

"College Celebration - Neng Xiaoyuan will send you a USB flash drive exclusive to the Energy Department for the school celebration."

……

Seeing the overwhelming swiping screens in Moments with the same title, and looking at the calendar of the phone, Chen Tianhang remembered that today is December 12th.Today is not only the Double Twelve Shopping Festival, not only the anniversary of the Xi’an Incident, but also the anniversary of the 12th anniversary of Baicheng Institute of Technology.

Chen Tianhang hasn't clicked on the links of these circles of friends, but he also saw the beautiful photos of Bai Gong in the circle of friends - the glass curtain wall reflecting the beautiful green under the winter sun; The solemn Chongshi Square in the heavy snow in winter...

Chen Tianhang didn't click on those links. He didn't know why, but when he saw these photos that he, who had been in Baigong for four years, couldn't recognize, he felt that his eyes couldn't see the lights and festoons on the glass curtain wall; Look at the school celebration banners on the east and west buildings; you can't see the happy students wearing red cultural shirts flashing in Chongshi Square celebrating the school celebration...

Chen Tianhang closed his eyes, the sound in his mind was the tinkling sound from the decoration team repairing the glass curtain wall; what came to his mind was the fourteenth floor of the teaching building where Yao Yuan might have appeared last; On the real square, Chen Tianhang saw Yao Yuan who was still wearing a thin sportswear in autumn, he was looking at his phone with his head down...

"Brother? What's the matter?" Chen Chen turned his head and asked him.

"It's okay..." Chen Tianhang didn't say what he was thinking, and continued to swipe his phone.

The news in the laboratory group chat "Dabieye" is already 999+, Chen Tianhang still feels quite surprised, this is quite rare in normal times, after all, there are only four of them.

"Did you get the cultural shirts?"

"got it."

"Let's go with the students who are waiting for the school celebration meal."

"Which cafeteria?"

"I'm still on Flash."

"It's too late for me to go, the props for the party haven't been brought yet."

"You can take that later."

"That's right, I still want to read aloud."

"That's right, it's important to eat."

"What school celebration meal?"

"Looks like big chicken legs and fish."

"What's so delicious?"

"What do you know, this is called good luck."

"We have western food."

"Western food? So good?"

"..."

Chen Tianhang watched them chatting enthusiastically in the group.

Then, to Chen Tianhang's surprise, the topic turned to Chen Tianhang.

Song Jia took a picture of Chen Tianhang's workstation in the laboratory, not for the purpose of taking pictures of Chen Tianhang's workstation, but for a meal coupon at Chen Tianhang's workstation.Chen Tianhang clicked on the photo, double-clicked to enlarge it, and it was a meal coupon for the school celebration student meal - "Celebrating the 80th anniversary of the establishment of Baicheng Institute of Technology, special for the school celebration, student meal coupon".Everyone should have one.

Song Jia: "Anyway, Brother Hang is not here, let's take it and eat together."

Then he made a laughing emoji.

Gao Zhen also made a laughing emoji.

Ye Ziwen: "Did you ask him? Just take it."

Song Jia: "Brother Hang still disagrees?" He also added a laughing emoji.

Gao Zhen sent an expression of "agreement".

Ye Ziwen also sent an expression of "agreement".

Chen Tianhang really didn't expect how they talked about him. After thinking about it, he replied: "Go and eat."

I don't know if it's because I haven't appeared on WeChat for several days, and then the "Dabieye" exploded.

"Brother Hang?"

"Brother Hang, are you there?"

"Brother Hang, are you spying on the screen?"

"Where are you?"

"When will you be back?"

"..."

Chen Tianhang was a little speechless for a while, and didn't know what to reply.

Yeah...how should I tell them?

Chen Tianhang raised his head, looked at the railway track leading to Datong stretching out in the morning light outside the window, looked at the bitter wind outside the window and Xue Mo'er who was already flying in the wind—he didn't know what to say.

What do you say?Got the USB flash drive of the dead senior Yao Yuan, with evidence about Wu Peng in it?

Chen Tianhang smiled wryly—where are you now?Go to Datong, find Yao Yuan's biological father, file a lawsuit against Yao Yuan, have his wrongdoing redressed, and put Wu Peng, the head of the Department of Energy, in jail?

Chen Tianhang was thinking wildly, but there was still news in "Dabieye".

Ye Ziwen: "What about your graduation project?"

As soon as this serious topic came out, the group that had been chattering about school celebrations, student festivals, and school celebration meals suddenly fell silent and fell into silence.

Ye Ziwen continued: "Liu Ai came to check again."

"What about the experimental data you owe?"

"It's not like you don't eat today and eat more tomorrow. If you miss it, you can't make up for it."

"Are you planning to postpone your graduation?"
