C150 (2/2)
Although it was already late in the night, he still hadn't fallen asleep like Zhang Song. When Zhang Song threw him a doubtful glance, he merely smiled at Zhang Song, but did not say a word.
Although Zhang Song did not laugh, he still nodded politely towards him, and then asked: ”Have we met before?”
The man nodded his head and helped Zhang Song out from his confusion. Then he said to Zhang Song indifferently: ”Actually, I noticed you when I first got on the car. Your back gave me a familiar feeling, it's just that you were staring out the window in a daze, I never saw your face, so I'm not sure.”
Zhang Song continued to ask: ”What is your name?”
The person gave a mysterious smile, and replied in a calm and simple manner: ”Tan Bin.”
”Tan Bin?” Zhang Song muttered softly. At the moment, he was flipping through the memories in his mind, trying to find a face that matched the name Tan Bin.
Seeing Zhang Song thinking this, Tan Bin knew that Zhang Song might not be able to remember him, so he reminded him: ”Do you remember the time when your cousin Zhang Jian was beaten up, the youth that informed you?” Saying that, Tan Bin stared at Zhang Song.
”He … It's you, you're that young man. No wonder I felt that you were so familiar. I vaguely remember you, but since that time, I didn't meet you again. I almost couldn't recognize you. I'm really sorry.” Zhang Song was clearly a little sorry towards Tan Bin.
”Nothing, it's been so long since I last saw you. If it was anyone else, I would have almost forgotten about it. Just like before, I'm not sure if it was you.” By the way, where are you going on this late train? ” Tan Bin asked.
The same train, the same carriage, two seats side by side, coincidentally meeting two people they had met before, it seemed to be fate. Indeed, sometimes we have to marvel at the magic of fate, which, though we cannot touch it, is real enough to bring people together in two different places, to let two like-minded people meet and know each other. At the moment, what Zhang Song and Tan Bin did not know was that just because they met each other on the train today, they would become close friends and good brothers in the future. Of course, that was something that would happen in the future.
Hearing Tan Bin's question, Zhang Song said casually, ”I am going to report for work.”
”Report?” It's already been a month since the start of school, why would they only report it now? ” Tan Bin was a little doubtful as he stared at Zhang Song in disbelief.
Zhang Song laughed miserably, then said: ”What, is it too late to report now?” He changed the topic, because if Zhang Song thought about it, his heart would ache, and he would be sad.
Zhang Song had also successfully changed the topic. Tan Bin, who was at the side, slightly shrugged his shoulders and said in embarrassment: ”About this, I'm really not too clear about it, because I've never heard of anyone reporting in at school after such a long time. Today, you're the first one.”
”What about you? ”It's reasonable to say that the school should be having lessons right now, so why did you get on the train?” Seeing that Tan Bin could not get the answer, Zhang Song decided to give up and changed the topic.
Tan Bin smacked his lips and said a little helplessly: ”Isn't the school making some sort of grant money? I went home to apply. I rushed back yesterday and still have to rush back to school today. I have to hand it over to the instructor tomorrow morning.”
After Tan Bin finished speaking, Zhang Song and Tan Bin no longer had any topic to talk about, the two of them suddenly became quiet for a moment.
The silent Tan Bin seemed to have thought of something, as she turned to look at Zhang Song, and asked: ”Zhang Song, you just said you were going to register at a school, which university are you studying in?”
Zhang Song looked back at Tan Bin, and indifferently answered: ”North Anhui University.”
Although his voice was soft, Tan Bin still heard it. He was shocked, but immediately after, a smile appeared on his face. He laughed and said, ”Hehe, I really did not expect that we were actually alumni. I'm at North Anhui University Academy of Fine Arts, and you, which school are you in?” Tan Bin asked a little impatiently.
Seeing Tan Bin's anxious look, Zhang Song felt a little helpless towards his personality, but he still answered Tan Bin's question: ”En, I think it should be the computer academy.”
”Oh, what a coincidence. The Computer Academy is very close to our Academy of Fine Arts and the Music Academy. When we arrive, you can come and play with me whenever you're free.” Tan Bin said excitedly.
”Of course, of course.” Although Zhang Song expressed his affirmation, there was still a slight perfunctory intent behind it.
After that, Zhang Song and Tan Bin started to casually chat about interesting and boring topics, and spent the long and hard night. Just as the male chickens were crowing, and as the train entered the train's final stop, those who were sleeping soundly woke up, and without bothering to wash up, they picked up their luggage and rushed out of the train. Zhang Song and Tan Bin got off the train with the others, and under Tan Bin's lead, they got into a taxi that was about to enter their ideal university, heading towards their North Anhui University.
