The day of departure was eight days away from New Year's Eve.
After the logistics department's car dropped off the few people at the square station, it quietly merged into the traffic flow and soon disappeared.
Lin Fan, who came to Guang'an for the first time, looked around.
They were standing in the square in front of the long-distance bus station.
The station entrance wasn't particularly large, with a large red sign reading "Guang'an Station" on it. Through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, I could see that there weren't many people lining up to buy tickets in the ticket hall.
More people hurried in another direction, swarming into an even grander building, where there was also a sign for "Guang'an Station."
"That's Guang'an Station over there too?" Lin Fan looked around. Why were there two Guang'an Stations so close together? Where should they go?
"That's Guang'an Railway Station. We don't take the high-speed rail, so there's no need to go there." Gao Fei always took the high-speed rail to the flight base and was familiar with the place.
"Just take the bus to my house and go to the long-distance bus station next door." This is how Li Chunhua came when he went home to visit his family six months ago. He led everyone in with a familiar look.
"Nowadays, many cities have built passenger stations and train stations together to form transportation hubs, making transfers convenient." Ji Yu believes this measure is very beneficial to the people. "There should also be a bus stop nearby. Whether it's locals or outsiders, travel will be very convenient."
Lin Fan didn't see the bus stop in the empty square, but she felt that Ji Yu was right.
Gaohe has a larger transportation hub, which not only has a bus station but also a subway station, with thousands of people traveling through it every day.
Convenient transportation is one of the signs of a city’s prosperity, and Guang’an has obviously reached such a standard.
Everyone followed Li Chunhua to the window and lined up, two people in front and two in back, with Lin Fan in the middle.
Compared with the passengers rushing home with heavy bags, the four-person group, each with a backpack, was particularly eye-catching.
Especially since they were tall, handsome, and had good temperaments, everyone who saw them wondered if they were from the military.
You could say they're just making random guesses. Didn't you see the woman sandwiched between them? She's wearing a uniform. While it's unusual, it's clearly the same style as a military uniform.
The military uniforms are really nice looking.
Lin Fan was wearing the reserve team's thick jacket inside, and a long coat outside to block the wind.
The navy blue tweed is crisp and has a slim fit, reaching the calf. The collar is a thick black fur collar. The front placket is decorated with a row of delicate buttons, giving it a full sense of military style.
Lin Fan has lost weight now, and he looks energetic and good-looking in his clothes. Even though his temperament is obviously different from the others, it is indeed easy for people to make associations with him.
After looking at the clothes, many people found something strange.
Why did that woman come here empty-handed without a backpack?
Lin Fan put his hands in his pockets and moved slowly and leisurely with the crowd.
This time, she only brought a few things: a driver's license with her ID card inserted, house keys, a cell phone, a water cup, a towel, a toothbrush, two sets of underwear, and a dirty sheet.
Since everyone brought several charging cables and power banks, she just threw hers in the dormitory.
I don’t even have a single piece of clothing, so I plan to go to the mall and buy some.
She didn't have a backpack or a duffel bag. When she first entered 800, she carried a red advertising bag, so it was impossible for her to carry it again.
Of these things, only the bed sheet took up a small portion. Aside from her cell phone and driver's license, which she kept in her own pocket, she stuffed everything else into Song Ren's backpack and asked him to keep it safe.
Li Chunhua inquired about the bus times and found out that there was a bus to his hometown at 1:30 p.m., and any later would be after 5 p.m. They bought the tickets without hesitation.
"It's just right that I can have dinner when I get home." Li Chunhua put the ticket away and said happily.
"Are you sure you can have dinner when you go back?" Gao Fei also put away his ticket and complained.
They all informed their families in advance about their return home, except Li Chunhua, who said she wanted to give her family a surprise and refused to tell them.
Gao Fei seriously doubted what time he would be able to have dinner tonight.
"Okay, put away the tickets. We have plenty of time now, so we can go shopping in the mall and buy some clothes for Lin Fan." Song Ren put away his and Lin Fan's tickets together, and found that Lin Fan's uniform attracted a lot of attention. Some people even took out their mobile phones to take pictures, so he urged.
After he reminded them, the others also noticed what was happening. They gathered around Lin Fan in unison, surrounding her and vaguely blocking her way.
Across from the station, across an 8-lane main road, there is a large shopping mall.
A few people followed the signs and went through the underground passage. They unexpectedly found that there were many small shops and even a bus stop below.
They quickly entered the mall and began the task of buying new clothes for Lin Fan.
As soon as she entered the women's clothing floor, Li Chunhua happily rushed into the nearest store and looked around.
It was as if he was the one who wanted to buy clothes.
"How about this one?" He picked up a pink down jacket.
Lin Fan sat on the bench, speechless.
The down jacket that Li Chunhua was holding was fluorescent pink, and the color was not only pure but also extremely bright.
This made Li Chunhua, who had dark skin, look even darker when he held it in his hand.
Although Lin Fan has fair skin because he rarely goes outdoors, he can't stand such a bright color.
And why choose pink? Aren’t beige, brown, and blue good enough?
"Don't you like it? That's okay. If you don't like it, we can look elsewhere. There are plenty of other stores." Li Chunhua saw Lin Fan's troubled expression and assumed she didn't like the brand. She quickly hung the clothes back and ran out first.
"Brother Li..." Gao Fei wanted to call him, but Li Chunhua pulled him over and they went into a women's clothing store with a very girlish style.
"...He likes shopping?" Lin Fan felt that Li Chunhua was like a young swallow flying into the arms of a young swallow when she entered the mall, and asked Song Ren in confusion.
"...No?" Song Ren was unsure. After all, he and Li Chunhua had only become familiar with each other in the past six months. He had never had the opportunity to learn about this aspect before.
“…” Ji Yu used to often accompany his mother to the mall to buy clothes, but he had never been as excited as Li Chunhua.
Looking at the helpless Gao Fei, Lin Fan sighed and hurried in to save him.
For some reason, Li Chunhua seems to have a special preference for girlish style and pink.
Not only Lin Fan himself couldn't accept it, the other three also looked at him with strange expressions.
Lin Fan is already thirty-six years old and doesn't have a baby-like face. Is it really appropriate for him to wear that kind of pink dress with lace trims and all over it?
"Why does it have to be pink?" Lin Fan really couldn't understand.
"Don't all girls like pink? My wife likes this style, and I always wear it when I go shopping for clothes with her," Li Chunhua said as a matter of course. "If I had a daughter, I would also like to dress her in pink."
Lin Fan fell backwards, finally understanding the reason. He hadn't expected Li Chunhua to be such a loving man, but his aesthetic was truly too biased.
She said helplessly, "Who says girls only like pink? If that were true, who would we sell all those clothes in other colors to?"
Li Chunhua was stunned and unable to react for a moment.
He looked around and suddenly realized that there were many more clothes of other colors than pink.
Oh yeah, who are we going to sell those colors to?
"Li Chunhua, come back and let Lin Fan choose for himself." Song Ren finally spoke up to stop Li Chunhua's jumping behavior.
If this continues, Lin Fan doesn’t know when he will be able to buy good clothes.
It was almost 11 o'clock and lunch was still needed, so Li Chunhua didn't have much time to waste.
Many guys think girls should like pink, right? Well, Li Chunhua is a warm-hearted man who loves his wife. Give him some votes!
