Good Luck Time - Chap 13

　After leaving school, Jiang Ge took him along a whole street and took a taxi when he reached a big road.

　　On the way there, they picked up a man named Yang Xiao.

　　Tao Sizhi later met Yang Xiao several times. Yang Xiao was very friendly to Tao Sizhi and even helped Tao Sizhi draw a card once. But his luck was just as average as Tao Sizhi’s, so Tao Sizhi didn’t ask him to help with the draw.

　　The Internet cafe Jiang Ge went to was on a road lined with plane trees in the city center. It was getting late and most of the shops along the street were closed.

　　Walking to the door of the Internet cafe, Tao Sizhi heard a burst of noise from upstairs, and vaguely saw many computer screens flashing on the first floor. She didn’t want to go up, so she asked Jiang Ge: “Can I go somewhere else?”

　　Jiang Ge glanced at him and asked, “Where are you going?”

　　Tao Sizhi didn’t know where he was going, but he insisted: “I’m going somewhere else.”

　　Jiang Ge didn’t ask any more questions, waved his hand and said, “Okay, let’s meet here at five o’clock in the morning. Just don’t oversleep.”

　　Tao Sizhi said yes and turned around to walk in an unknown direction. Jiang Ge suddenly stopped him again.

　　”Wait,” Jiang Ge asked him, “did you bring your mobile phone?”

　　Tao Sizhi turned around and said, “Take it.”

　　”Give me your number.” Jiang Ge unlocked the phone and handed it to Tao Sizhi. Tao Sizhi entered her number and gave it to Jiang Ge. Jiang Ge called Tao Sizhi and said, “You also keep mine.”

　　Tao Sizhi nodded and turned around to leave. Jiang Ge called him again, frowned and said, “Why are you running so fast?”

　　”You didn’t bring any money,” he said, taking some money to Tao Sizhi, “Take it.”

　　Tao Sizhi heard the noise inside again and wanted to run away quickly, so she picked it up and left.

　　Tao Sizhi walked along the road for a long time. She felt very tired and sleepy. She wanted to go home, so she took a taxi and returned to her home community. (The choice to go home made the disaster a little bigger.)

　　The community security guard knew him and opened the door for him. He walked downstairs and found that his brother’s car was not parked in the parking space on the road. This is an ominous omen.

　　Tao Sizhi pressed the password, opened the door downstairs, took the elevator to the door of her house, and called his brother, but his brother didn’t answer. He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it.

　　He stood at the door of the house for a long time and had to leave.

　　It was already one o’clock in the morning when he walked out of the community. Tao Sizhi had nowhere to go, so he had to take a taxi and returned to the Internet cafe where Jiang Ge was.

　　There is an iron bench under the plane tree not far outside the Internet cafe. Tao Sizhi sat on it, played the game for a while, and fell asleep.

　　After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Tao Sizhi was woken up again by someone. He opened his eyes and saw Jiang Ge.

　　”Tao Sizhi,” Jiang Ge leaned over and looked at him, putting his hands on his shoulders and frowning, “Wake up.”

　　”Oh. Is it already five o’clock?” Tao Sizhi asked Jiang Ge with squinted eyes as she felt dizzy and her head was shaking.

　　”It’s early,” Jiang Ge said. “Yang Xiao went out to smoke, and when he came back he told me that he was sitting outside sleeping. Aren’t you going somewhere else?”

　　Yang Xiao stood behind Jiang Ge and also looked at Tao Sizhi.

　　”I’m home,” Tao Sizhi felt tired, so she closed her eyes and said to Jiang Ge, “but there is no one at home.”

　　”Why don’t you come in and find Jiang Ge?” Yang Xiao suddenly said.

　　Tao Sizhi opened her eyes and looked at him and said, “I don’t like noisy places.”

　　He thought about it and criticized the Internet cafe again: “And it’s too dark inside.” He said, “Since it’s not yet five o’clock, I have to sleep for a while, so you can go.” He leaned back on the chair again and closed his eyes quietly.

　　”…Tao Sizhi,” Jiang Ge said, “…you get up first.”

　　Finally, Jiang Ge opened a separate room for Tao Sizhi and let Tao Sizhi sleep in it.

　　The room was large, with 10 computers and beds. The soundproofing was better than Tao Sizhi had imagined. But it was still difficult for Tao Sizhi to accept sleeping in an unfamiliar place, so she had to fall asleep sitting up again.

　　From birth to adulthood, this night can be included in Tao Sizhi’s ten worst experiences, and it ranks very high.

　　What’s even more frightening is that the disaster did not end here.

　　Somehow, they overslept.

　　The reason why I said it was them was because when Tao Sizhi woke up, he found Jiang Ge sleeping in this room.

　　It was already 7:10 in the morning, entering the city’s morning rush hour. Taking a taxi from the Internet cafe to the school could be stuck in traffic for two hours. Fortunately, there is a subway station opposite the Internet cafe. Line 3 goes directly to the back door of the school, which only takes 20 minutes.

　　This is why Tao Sizhi was forced to take the subway.

　　Tao Sizhi always believed that if Jiang Ge could set an alarm clock for five o’clock, Tao Sizhi would not have to take the subway.

　　There were too many people on the subway in the morning. Tao Sizhi felt very, very uncomfortable and regretted it deeply.

　　It’s a disaster in the subway station, and it’s even more disaster after entering the subway.

　　In the subway that was so crowded that his feet were almost hanging in the air, surrounded by noisy sounds coming from all directions, Tao Sizhi was so nervous that he could only get close to Jiang Ge, because he only knew Jiang Ge.

　　Jiang Ge saw him approaching and asked him warily, “What are you doing?”

　　”I’m a little scared.” Tao Sizhi said listlessly.

　　He improvised and put his arms around Jiang Ge’s waist like he did when he hugged Tao Siyuan in crowded places. Jiang Ge didn’t push him away, so Tao Sizhi buried his head in Jiang Ge’s arms.

　　Back at school, when climbing over the wall, Tao Sizhi almost fell again, but Jiang Ge caught him. He made it to his first math class, but fell asleep in class.

　　The math teacher woke him up, worried that he looked bad, and asked if he should give him a rest sheet to go back to the dormitory to sleep. Tao Sizhi nodded, took the rest sheet the teacher gave him, and returned to the dormitory in a daze. , climbed into bed and slept until noon.

　　Jiang Ge came back during lunch break, saw Tao Sizhi sleeping, and touched Tao Sizhi’s forehead. Tao Sizhi woke up from his touch and felt a little angry. She turned over and turned her back to Jiang Ge.
