On the evening of August 26th, Li Dong rushed back to Dongping from Hechuan.
It was already 11 o 'clock when he arrived at Qin Yuhan's place.
Li Dong's heart softened when he saw the vague figure under the lamplight, and he quickened his pace.
"What time are you leaving tomorrow?" Li Dong asked.
Qin Yuhan, who had been waiting for a long time in the night, said in a hoarse voice, "I'll take the train to Qingyang at 6: 30, and the train will leave at 9 o 'clock."
"I'll give you a lift!" Li Dong said.
Qin Yuhan's eyes lit up. She bit her lips and shook her head, "No need. My dad will accompany me to the capital."
Li Dong felt a little bitter and apologized, "I'm sorry. I've been too busy recently and haven't had time to accompany you."
He had only seen Qin Yuhan less than 10 times in the whole summer vacation. In the beginning, Qin Yuhan went to the countryside, and in the end, he was busy choosing a location for the branch store and barely stayed in Dongping.
The summer vacation passed in the midst of busyness. At this moment, he realized that he seemed to have neglected the girl who had been waiting for him in the dark.
"You don't have to apologize to me."
Qin Yuhan helped Li Dong tidy up his messy collar and said softly, "I heard from my mom that you're busy with the new store and don't even have time to eat. You need to learn to take care of yourself."
Li Dong nodded and pulled the girl in front of him into his arms. He smelled the fragrance emitted from the girl's hair without saying anything.
After a long time, Qin Yuhan forced a smile and said, "It's not like we won't see each other again. Although it's a little far from Pingchuan to the capital, it's only a dozen hours' drive. Don't forget to visit me in the capital."
"I won't. I'm afraid that someone will steal my girlfriend." Li Dong forced a smile, but he felt empty.
Once Qin Yuhan left, they would be separated by thousands of miles. It would be more than 100 times harder to see her again.
At this moment, Li Dong regretted it.
…
The next morning.
Qingyang Train Station Waiting Hall.
Qin Yuhan was absent-minded and looked back at the entrance of the station from time to time.
Qin Hai frowned. He opened his mouth a few times, wanting to say something, but he swallowed it back down.
His daughter acted as if she did not hear him even when the train began to check the tickets. Qin Hai could not help but say, "Yuhan, let's go. That brat definitely won't come."
Last night, his daughter and Li Dong had been lovey-dovey downstairs until twelve o 'clock before returning home. Qin Hai had long been suppressing a bellyful of dissatisfaction towards Li Dong.
Seeing that his daughter was still reluctant to leave, Qin Hai became even more furious.
"I know." Qin Yuhan was very depressed. "I told him not to come. He still has things to do."
"He's just a student, why would he be so busy? I think he just didn't …"
"Li Dong!"
Qin Yuhan's extremely pleasantly surprised shout interrupted Qin Hai's indignant speech.
Qin Hai turned around to take a look and saw Li Dong running over from the train station entrance with his forehead covered in sweat. Black lines immediately appeared on Qin Hai's face. This guy was purposely making things difficult for him!
…
Li Dong panted heavily and ignored Qin Hai who was blowing his beard and glaring at him. He pulled Qin Yuhan and said with a smile, "The car broke down on the way. Fortunately, we didn't miss the time."
Qin Yuhan was secretly happy, but she rebuked him on the surface, "I already told you not to send me off. Why did you still come?! The weather is so hot. We still have to sit for more than an hour on the way back. "
"It's fine. I'm already a little regretful that I couldn't accompany you to the capital. If I still didn't send you off, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
"Cough, cough!"
Qin Hai listened to Li Dong's increasingly mushy words and felt uncomfortable in his heart. He violently coughed a few times to remind Li Dong that he was not an invisible person!
When Li Dong heard this annoying cough, he wanted very much to ignore this big light bulb in his heart.
However, when he saw Qin Yuhan pull her hand out of his hand with a red face, Li Dong could only raise his head and greet, "Hello, Uncle."
"Mm."
"Cough, cough …" Qin Hai pretended to clear his throat and urged, "Yuhan, the car is about to leave. Let's get into the station."
Qin Yuhan's face was filled with reluctance. She held onto Li Dong's hand and refused to let go.
At the side, Qin Hai's eyeballs almost popped out. Seeing that the good girl actually ignored him, he immediately felt very sour in his heart. The way he looked at Li Dong was like he wanted to strangle him.
Li Dong could not care about what Qin Hai was thinking at the moment. When Qin Yuhan took the initiative to hold his hand, his face instantly bloomed like a flower.
Seeing that it was really getting late, Li Dong took out a bank card from his pocket and quickly stuffed it into Qin Yuhan's hand while Qin Hai was not paying attention.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "The password is six eights. I'll call you again when I'm done."
Qin Yuhan wanted to reject, but Li Dong held her hand tightly and refused to let go.
"Don't reject me. You know me!"
Li Dong's attitude was very firm, so Qin Yuhan's hand gradually loosened.
Hearing that the ticket inspector was urging her, Qin Yuhan said reluctantly, "I'll accept it. You can go back now. Remember to visit me!"
"I won't forget!"
Li Dong nodded hard and let go of Qin Yuhan's hand.
Seeing that Qin Yuhan was dragged through the ticket inspector unwillingly, Li Dong waved his hand with all his might and shouted, "Yuhan, call me when you arrive!"
"Mm!"
Qin Yuhan replied loudly too, but she did not see that Qin Hai was so angry!
Li Dong only turned around and left the train station after Qin Yuhan disappeared at the ticket inspector.
…
After sending Qin Yuhan off, it was getting closer and closer to the start of Li Dong's school.
On August 28th, the construction of four Faraway Supermarket branches started at the same time. Faraway Supermarket officially started to expand.
On the same day, a small supermarket in Dongping started to renovate. The area was less than 80 square meters.
This was a convenience store built by Li Dong's parents. It was just in time for Li Dong to start school.
…
On September 1st, Faraway Supermarket's August sales ended.
The supermarket's August sales were 14.8 million, and the net profit was 2.26 million.
The four branches had an initial investment of 1.4 million, and the remaining 860,000, excluding Sun Tao's 86,000 bonus, Li Dong earned 774,000.
In order to celebrate the success of the first month, Li Dong gave out nearly 100,000 yuan as a bonus. Yang Yun even received a big red packet of 8,800 yuan. Yang Yun was so happy that her mouth was like a flower blossoming.
Excluding the 180,000 yuan he spent on buying a store for his parents, the 50,000 yuan that Qin Yuhan transferred to her card, and the 30,000 yuan that he repaid, Li Dong actually had about 400,000 yuan.
…
On September 3rd, Li Dong received a call from Yuan Xue.
The start of school for Renmin University was a few days later than Beijing University. Yuan Xue called to say goodbye to Li Dong.
This was the first conversation between the two after the college entrance examination.
On the phone, Yuan Xue's words were still concise. She only told Li Dong that she was going to Beijing tomorrow, and then there was no sound.
Just when Li Dong thought that Yuan Xue had forgotten to hang up, Yuan Xue suddenly said on the other end of the phone, "Li Dong, have you ever liked me?"
Li Dong was suddenly lost. Until Yuan Xue said in a disappointed tone that she understood and hung up the phone, Li Dong did not speak.
…
September 5th, the day before the start of school at Jiangzhou University.
Cao Fang packed Li Dong's luggage at home and talked to Li Dong the whole night.
Li Chengyuan accompanied him silently. He did not say any warm words. He just told Li Dong not to worry about his family and get along well with his classmates and teachers when he went to university.
This time, Li Dong was not too reluctant to leave home. The supermarket in Dongping was already on the right track, and the branches were being built in an orderly manner. With Sun Tao looking after it, he did not need to worry too much.
At home, his parents were also happily waiting for the opening of the convenience store. Li Dong was relieved that there was no illness or disaster.
Early in the morning of September 6th, Li Dong did not let his parents send him off. He boarded the bus to Pingchuan alone.
