Chapter 39 – Arrival (4)
Seventeen hours later, they finally arrived at the Nan Station. Shu Yan, with her backpack on her back, Tianbao in her arms and Jingjing’s hand in hers, walked into the train station along with everyone else. They were finally here.
“Comrade, would you like to stay at a hotel?”
“Comrade, do you need to get a room?”
“Comrade, do you need a ride?”
“Comrade, where are you heading?”
“Do you want to go to Oupu? Just one slot left. Hop on and we can take off right away.”
Many surrounded her as soon as Shu Yan walked out of the station. Shu Yan didn’t slow down and took the two kids to the bus station. She saw the old bus station exactly where she had remembered it and let out a sigh of relief. Luckily that hadn’t changed.
There weren’t many routes and Shu Yan picked the one that she was most familiar with. They waited for over half an hour before the bus came. Nothing she could do. Buses weren’t common back then, not like the future when a bus would come every few minutes.
Shu Yan finally let out a slight smile after they had arrived at their destination. This was the college town that she was most familiar with. She had looked up the location of her college when she decided on coming to City Nan. It was at the same spot as the one in her own world. Shu Yan had a pretty good idea of the changes to come in the area surrounding the college. For example, Xuefu Street that was not too far from the university was a 100-year-old street, one of the attractions of City Nan.
As it was a 100-year-old street, it meant there wouldn’t be a lot of changes. Shu Yan found out that she was right when she arrived. The hotel that she had stayed in when her parents came with her to register for her university was already in existence. She walked inside with her children and noticed that the owner was not the same person.
When Shu Yan first transmigrated here, she had made a call to her father’s factory. The number did not exist and neither did the factory. So she could understand that the owner was not the same person. As similar as the two worlds were, they were two different worlds after all.
“Hi, would you like a room?”
“Yes please. I’d like a room. How much for one night?” asked Shu Yan when she didn’t see any prices listed.
“Do you want a single or a double? Single is $5 and double is $8.” The owner smiled.
“Can I take a look at them first so I can make a comparison?” Shu Yan walked upstairs with the owner. The rooms were quite similar except that a double is slightly bigger and has its own bathroom. Shu Yan picked the double room immediately, closed the door, and let out a long sigh of relief. They had finally arrived.
