The next morning, Jiang Feng and Jiang Weiming boarded the high-speed train to Zet City. Jiang Weisheng bid them a reluctant farewell at the station, repeatedly telling Jiang Weiming to let him know when he was coming back so he could pick him up and suggesting that Jiang Weiming stays a few more days in the provincial capital when he returned.
Jiang Weiming didn't have much to carry, just a few changes of clothes which Zhang Li had packed into a small suitcase for him. All the way to the station, Jiang Feng had offered to carry the suitcase but Jiang Weiming had refused, not even cracking a smile during the whole journey.
Jiang Feng sent a message to his family's WeChat group:
Jiang Shuozi: Mom and Dad, I can be home tonight!
Loving Mom: ?
Doting Dad: !
Jiang Shuozi: ?
Doting Dad: Son, I have your keys.
Jiang Shuozi: What's wrong?
Loving Mom: Your father and I are at your grandfather's house. Stay at a budget hotel tonight and come over tomorrow.
Jiang Feng: ???
