Chapter 26 White Lies
Lin Xiao cast his eyes on the two figures, one man and one woman, one old and one young.

The girl was about the same age as them, about 1 meters tall, wearing plain clothes, and tidy up very cleanly.

The person is not particularly outstanding, but he is still handsome, a little thin, oval-shaped face, because of the thinness, it looks a little round, and the eyebrows are drooping, which makes people feel a little introverted.

Beside her was a typical peasant man with dark skin and deep wrinkles on his face. At first glance, he seemed to be older than Lin Aijun.

After the two of them came to the front, Zhang Xiaoyan pulled the girl over and said to Lin Xiao and the others, "This is Liu Yu, the best student in our class in the college entrance examination, and was admitted to Yanjing Foreign Languages ​​English major."

This is a top student. After listening to Lin Xiao, he felt a little bit emotional. He was admitted to Yanjing Institute of Technology, but economics is not a popular major.

The English major of Yanjing Foreign Languages ​​is a popular major in a popular prestigious school.

"Her father is deaf and dumb, so there is no way to send her to school. I just heard you say that you are going to Yanjing, so I want you to take her with you so that she can be taken care of on the way."

After Zhang Xiaoyan finished speaking, Lin Xiao finally understood why the two of them had always given him a feeling of inferiority just now.

Liu Yu's family conditions are obviously not very good, and her father is disabled, so even though her grades are so good and she has been admitted to a prestigious school, the inferiority complex in her bones is still inadvertently revealed.

"Then her mother..." Liu Lanzhen had just said this in the middle, and suddenly realized that this might not be a good question, so she stopped immediately.

At this time, Liu Yu, who had lowered his head, raised his head, "My mother has passed away."

At this moment, everyone present looked at Liu Yu with some sympathy.

Liu Lanzhen's eyes were a little guilty because of her rash question just now.

Only Lin Xiao had more appreciation in her eyes. Liu Yu did look inferior, but since she dared to raise her head and tell her family background, this is enough to show her inner self-improvement.

Perhaps it was Lin Xiao's different eyes that made the sensitive Liu Yu feel touched. She raised her head again to meet Lin Xiao's gaze, but it was only for a moment before she immediately dodged away.

Lin Xiao didn't want Liu Yu to be in the eyes of everyone, so he opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Zhang, no problem. We are also going to Yanjing to report. I am at Yanjing Institute of Technology, which happens to be not far from Yanjing Foreign Language School."

"That would be great!" Zhang Xiaoyan let out a long sigh of relief at this moment, turned her head to Liu Yu and said, "Liu Yu, you can go with classmate Lin Xiao and the others, there is someone to take care of you on the way."

Liu Yu bent towards Zhang Xiaoyan and said softly, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

Immediately afterwards, he bent over to Lin Xiao and the others, "Thank you."

"You child, don't be like this." Liu Lanzhen was embarrassed by her own recklessness just now, seeing Liu Yu's behavior at this time, her sympathy overflowed again.

She took a step forward, stretched out her hand to hold Liu Yu's hand, turned her head and said to Lin Xiao and Wang Zhi:
"You two have to take good care of Liu Yu on the way. It's hard for a girl to go so far."

"Definitely." Lin Xiao and Wang Zhi nodded their heads repeatedly.

"Ababa." At this moment, Liu Yu's father anxiously gestured to several people.

Liu Yu was busy gesticulating with his father, probably telling about Lin Xiao and others taking him to Yanjing, and he was about to bow down to thank them.

This time, it was Lin Aijun who took the first step and stopped him.

Liu Yu's father couldn't bend down to bow, but kept gesticulating with his hands, with a grateful expression on his face.

Lin Xiao and the others couldn't understand, so Liu Yu translated.

"My dad said, thank you, thanks to fellow villagers like you."

"Train No. 872, the train bound for Yanjing West that you are taking is about to start ticket checking. Passengers going to Yanjing West, please go to platform 1 to check tickets and enter the station."

The sound of ticket inspection came from the loudspeaker, and Lin Xiao and the others were preparing to enter the station with their luggage. Because of Liu Yu's appearance, the previous parting mood was diluted, and Liu Lanzhen and the others did not have so much to say.

It was Zhang Xiaoyan who pulled Liu Yu past her at this time, and said with slightly reddened eyes:
"Liu Yu, believe me, all suffering is only temporary, and knowledge can change your destiny. I hope you will study hard after you arrive at university, and through learning, you can win a brighter life for yourself."

Liu Yu was listening to Zhang Xiaoyan's speech carefully, but she didn't tend to lose control of her emotions because of Zhang Xiaoyan's emotions.

She just sincerely said to Zhang Xiaoyan in a soft voice: "Mr. Zhang, thank you for coming to see me off. Thank you for caring and teaching me as a teacher and mother for so many years. I will not disappoint your expectations."

"I know you are a self-reliant and sensible child, and I believe in you."

Zhang Xiaoyan's eyes turned red again as she spoke, while Liu Yu smiled at her.

It was the first time Lin Xiao and others saw Liu Yuxiao today, shy and clean.

"Dear passengers..."

The sound of notifying the ticket check sounded again, Lin Xiao and the three waved goodbye to their families, and walked to the ticket gate with their things.

Xingsu County is a small station, and the ticket inspection was quickly completed, and they entered the platform to get on the train.

At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered that he knew what it was like to take a train for more than 20 hours, so the tickets he bought were hard sleepers.

If it wasn't for these years, most people couldn't buy a soft sleeper, so Lin Xiao would have bought a soft sleeper directly.

However, there is a high probability that Liu Yu will not buy a sleeper berth.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao said to Liu Yu: "Show me your ticket, what car number is it?"

"No. 7." Liu Yu said, handing the ticket to Lin Xiao.

After taking a look, Lin Xiao found that it was exactly as he expected, not to mention it was a sleeper berth, and there were no seats. The word "no seat" showed that Liu Yu's ticket was a standing ticket.

There are a lot of standing tickets these days. If you are lucky, you can take a seat if there are vacant seats. If you are unlucky, you really have to stand.

"Your ticket is here for me."

Lin Xiao took Liu Yu's ticket, turned around calmly, and said to Wang Zhi:

"Dazhi, let me keep your bus ticket when we get on No. 7 later."

Wang Zhizheng felt strange, seeing the word "no seat" pointed by Lin Xiao, although he didn't understand what Lin Xiao meant, he still cooperated and gave the ticket to Lin Xiao.

The train drove into the platform with a roar and stopped. Lin Xiao and the three got on from the No. 7 carriage.

Today's luck is not very good, probably because of the start of school, the train is full, obviously there is no vacant seat for Liu Yu.

The three put their things away, found an empty station in the aisle, and waited for the train to restart. Lin Xiao told Wang Zhi to look at the things and take good care of Liu Yu, and then went to the conductor.

Ten minutes later, Lin Xiao returned to the No. 10 car. The original 7 sleeper tickets have become 2.

He leaned in front of Wang Zhi and Liu Yu, and whispered:

"I went around there just now and found that there were still a few vacancies in the sleeper berth. I asked the conductor to understand and reason, and they exchanged tickets for us."

What Lin Xiao said was true. These days, sleeper berths do often have some vacant seats. However, what he exchanged was not 3, but 1. Of course, there is no such thing as a free exchange.

As soon as Wang Zhi heard it, he immediately understood what was going on, and immediately cooperated and said:
"That's great, let's go, let's change cars."

It was the first time for Liu Yu to take the train, and he didn't know the way in the middle, but there was a hint of joy on his face when he heard that he didn't have to stand all the time to go to Yanjing.

While following Lin Xiao to the sleeper berth, Liu Yu said softly, "Lin Xiao, fortunately you understand this. By the way, which conductor is it? I'll thank him later."

"I've already thanked you both."

"Well... Then if you see it later, you have to tell me, and I have to thank others in person."

"..."
