757. Difficult to refuse
Dong Qiangqiang vaguely remembered that the last time he spoke with Li Lei, it seemed like he had happened three months ago. He was still in China at that time, so why did he jump back to Germany in the blink of an eye? Although he had indeed said something like "want to go back to Germany" before, Dong Qiangqiang thought that it was just a joke he was unwilling to give up for a moment, but he didn't expect that the other party not only did what he said, but also rushed to Hannover to find him.
"Hey, where are you?" Li Lei shouted on the other end of the phone in a muffled voice, "Are you here?"
"In..." Dong Qiangqiang answered somewhat guiltyly.
"Classmates, can you take the time to pick it up?" Li Lei deliberately made the four words "Classmates" very seriously. He was sure that Dong Qiangqiang would not dare to reject himself when he heard these four words. Unless he did not plan to attend class reunions in the future, he would have to pay more attention to his reputation. "If you are too busy, forget it, don't force it." Li Lei said with a word.
Dong Qiangqiang knew what it means to take the station. To be fair, Dong Qiangqiang had no good feelings for the deputy class monitor at university, and the other party suddenly made a request. He was disgusted from the bottom of his heart and had any connection with the other party. He didn't know if this was considered selfish.
"I will take the graduation exam tomorrow and have books to read. Sorry. I wish you a happy journey."
Li Lei was obviously not mentally prepared for Dong Qiangqiang's rejection. He was stunned for a few seconds before asking in disbelief: "Will you take the graduation exam tomorrow?"
"I took one exam a day for a week, and today I took the first exam in German and four exams."
The tram drove into the platform in a mighty manner, and Dong Qiangqiang stood up and prepared to get off.
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything or hung up the phone, Dong Qiangqiang took the initiative to end the conversation: "Good night."
"Wait a minute," Li Lei asked hesitantly, "Can you... tell me your address? I... can I go and find you."
“…”
"To be honest, I don't have much money on this time, and I may not be able to afford to stay in a youth hostel. Can you please ask me to stay for a few nights for the sake of my old classmate? I will leave after I finish my business." Li Lei suddenly became humble and polite.
Youth hostels are economical temporary residences in Germany, which are very suitable for short-distance travel students and tourists. Dong Qiangqiang only knew after leading a group. If the early educated youth hostels existed, he would not be so embarrassed in the first few nights in Germany.
The car doors separated from each other, and Dong Qiangqiang climbed down the steps of the platform. "What are you doing in Hannover? Where are you going to go after finishing?"
"Oh, I'll... ask about the University of Hanover and the Preparatory School. Now... I need APS everywhere? After asking, I'll go back to Magdeburg."
Dong Qiangqiang was very puzzled and was about to ask, "Then just call me and ask, why do you come here specifically? Since you know you want to come here, why don't you contact the accommodation first?" But then he thought again that this was Li Lei's private affairs, so he swallowed the topic again.
Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang didn't respond, Li Lei thought he had rejected him again, and his tone became a little impatient: "Brother, do you ignore me because I chased Chen Yu? Do you still care so much for this matter?"
This made Dong Qiangqiang's face a little hot. Of course, he did not refuse Chen Yu's case, but how could he prove this? He had already said that he was going to prepare for the exam, but the other party begged to stay for a few nights. If he refused blindly, the other party would of course think that the review of the leave and hold a grudge against the truth. Dong Qiangqiang's image would also become a villain who was unhuman and did not miss the relationship between classmates.
Forget it! Dong Qiangqiang sighed in his heart, but he couldn't hold this face down in the end.
Kindness to others can sometimes become the root of a person's troubles, especially because this kindness is not his heartfelt decision.
"You take Line 7 to get off at Hippo Street Station. When you arrive, call me and I'll pick you up."
Thirty minutes later, Dong Qiangqiang stood beside the crosswalk on the side of the road and looked towards the station.
The lights on the platform were already completely broken, and the details were so dark that he could not see clearly. He could only roughly identify a black shadow carrying a bag looking around on the platform.
"Li Lei." Dong Qiangqiang shouted to the black shadow, "Here! Cross the road."
Hearing Dong Qiangqiang's shouts, the black shadow waved at him, then flexibly jumped off the platform, and stood next to the sidewalk on the other side of the road in a few steps.
As he walked from the dark to the light, with the light of the street lights, his entire outline gradually became clearer and clearer.
His head was round, and the baby's face was vaguely visible, and his eyes were small and flickering. His eyes looked at Dong Qiangqiang with cunning and alertness, as if he was looking at some prey. I don't know if it was because he hadn't taken a shower in a few days, but his hair was stuck on his forehead, just like a painted on his forehead. He wore a very conspicuous plaid suit, which made him look short and fat, and it didn't look much different from when he was in college.
The sidewalk indicator light was still red, and Li Lei looked at the direction of the car with his hand in his hand, and then ran across the entire road in Dong Qianqiang's surprised gaze.
Less than two seconds after he ran across the road, a sports car rushed past him in a flash. When the car passed by, both of them heard a angrily scolding: "Silly* I'm afraid of life!"
Even if Li Lei couldn't understand German, he knew that what the other party said was definitely not good. He immediately raised his middle finger to the taillight of the car, and cursed in a pure Jing accent, then turned his head angrily and threw his backpack to the ground.
"That was a red light just now! If the car hits you, it will be a waste of time!" Dong Qiangqiang asked with a confused look on his face, "You don't want to die?"
"I saw that the car was still far away, but I didn't know it would arrive so soon. It was so unlucky." Hearing Dong Qiangqiang's reproach, Li Lei expelled himself while showing an unnatural and stiff smile. At the same time, he tilted his head and looked at Dong Qiangqiang up and down, "You have such long hair? I almost didn't recognize you across the street just now. I'm much more handsome than when I was in college."
Dong Qiangqiang ignored his flattery and raised his hand and pointed at the direction of home: "Let's go."
"Your home... is here?" Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang didn't have the idea of carrying his luggage, Li Lei had to carry his luggage on his shoulder again. He looked around suspiciously as he walked, his eyes seemed to be attracted by the red and pink neon lights that appeared in the dark of the street. "Is it far away?"
“It’s going to be in three minutes.”
Li Lei originally wanted to find some topics to recall the past, but after searching for the past, he found that the two were not close to each other in college, so they had no common topic at all. The only intersection may be Dong Qiangqiang's ex-girlfriend Chen Yu, but judging from Dong Qiangqiang's situation, he didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, and in the end he threw this idea behind his mind.
The two of them came to Dong Qiangqiang's house without saying a word, and went upstairs silently and entered the house. Dong Qiangqiang neither politely to him nor cared about whether he had eaten or not. They just poured him a cup of hot water, turned on the computer, and then went straight into the kitchen with their math notes, without even a word of greeting.
Li Lei's face looked ugly and full of embarrassment.
