Chapter 145 Crowding the subway

Ji Lian told Qi Mi many rumors about Russian hackers, and it was past six-thirty before the two of them said goodbye.

However, Ji Lian lives near the school and it is convenient to go home, while Qi Mi has to take the subway for forty minutes to go home. She walked to the subway station in silence, and couldn't help but regret that she sent a WeChat message three hours ago to ask Anton not to pick her up in the name of "having a duty after school."

Because she had been picked up and dropped off by car before, and she suddenly had to take the subway home, Qi Mi was really confused for a while. She opened the navigation APP on her phone and found the location of the subway station, but how to get there...

Qi Mi wandered around for nearly ten minutes and finally found the subway station. Going down the escalator, the people at the bottom are all people returning home from get off work during the evening rush hour, and they are all heading out of the city. After finally passing the security check, I swiped my phone to enter the station, and then took the escalator down to the platform. The queue heading out of the city almost reached the security gate in the opposite direction.

Qi Mi had to queue to the end of the queue. Fortunately, after waiting for less than two minutes, a train came. However, Qi Mi watched as all kinds of office workers crowded into the car, and the queue in front gradually shortened... At a certain point, they could no longer shrink in.

Qi Mi was waiting anxiously behind, especially since it was already past the time for her to have dinner, and she was really starting to get hungry. But the people in front didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Some were chatting with their friends, some were wearing headphones, and some were just scrolling around with their phones. Obviously they would rather go through one train and wait until the next one comes and they will be at the front of the queue.

After all, when you go to work, you rush to clock in, but when you get off work, you are not in such a hurry. However, they were not in a hurry, but Qi Mi was. She had never been in such a time before. Seeing those people in front of her who would rather wait than push forward, she felt very conflicted in her heart. If they wanted to urge them all to get in the car quickly, then maybe they could ask her to get in first, but to be honest, Qi Mi didn't want to force her way into the car. She couldn't help but begin to miss her family's car - even the old car from before, it was better to be stuck on the road than behind the security gate.

After finally getting on the next subway, Qi Mi naturally didn't have a seat, so she was squeezed by people from the front, back, left and right and walked to the middle of the car, where she happened to stand in front of an old lady. After two stops, the old lady stood up and said to her: "Girl, please sit here."

"Sit down, sit down..." Qi Mi responded quickly.

"I got off at this stop." The old lady said with a smile, "It's not easy for students nowadays."

Qi Mi sat down on this "precious" seat and watched the kind old woman squeeze out of the crowded carriage. Where she was standing, another guy with a computer bag squeezed in and stood there with a numb look on his face, scrolling through his cell phone.

Qi Mi also took out her mobile phone. After unlocking it, there was a red dot with a value of 23 on WeChat and 7 missed calls.

She clicked on WeChat first and saw that the seven messages were all from her family's WeChat group, asking her where she was now and when she would get home. Qi Mi raised her head and glanced at the station name displayed on the roof of the carriage. Just as she was about to reply, another call came - from her grandmother.

Qi Mi answered the phone: "Hello, grandma?"

Over there, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong immediately asked: "My good Mimi, where are you? Grandma and grandpa went to pick you up at the subway station?"

"I still have to..." She counted quickly, "There are still nine stops..."

"Ah? What's going on? Did you get on the wrong bus?" Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong was a little surprised.

"No... I just -" she remembered that the excuse was that she was on duty, "the duty time was a bit long."

"Oh, I don't have to come back on my own from now on. I'll just have to wait for a while to pick you up in the car." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong felt sorry for her granddaughter, "Is there a seat on the subway?"

"Yes." Qi Mi replied, "Grandma, please leave me alone. I will be there in a moment."

"Okay, Mimi, please pay attention to your safety and don't fall asleep in the car." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong urged, "Don't sit at the station anymore and look at your bag."

"Yeah, I understand, grandma..." Qi Mi muttered a few awkward words. However, she felt in her heart that her grandparents cared about her the most in the whole family. In contrast, her mother basically had a "free range" attitude towards her.

——

By the time Qi Mi finally got home, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. She was already overly hungry on the way, but not so hungry when she got home. At this time, Qi Min was unusually not in the brain-like body, but at the dining table, sitting with Anton, waiting for her to come back.

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang came back with their precious granddaughter. Anton quickly brought tea and water to his precious daughter and prepared all the hot meals.

Although Qi Mi was not very hungry, she still sat at the dining table and started eating. Qi Min watched her eat. When she was almost halfway through the meal, she asked casually, "You have been on duty for such a long time. What trouble did you encounter?"

Qi Mi's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but regret going to the cafe with Ji Lian today. If they didn't go to the cafe to drink milk tea, maybe it was because it was too cold outside, they could just talk and finish. Anyway, there was no chance to use the brain-like body today, so it would be a waste to spend so much time just exchanging information.

"No...it's nothing." Qi Mi whispered, "It's just...points were deducted for the class health inspection, so we have to clean more thoroughly today."

"Is that because of this? Why did it take more than an hour?" Qi Min asked in a very peaceful tone - although the "peace" she understood still sounded a bit abnormal to Qi Mi.

At this time, Qi Mi finally remembered that her mother was worried about her "puppy love" before. However, it is definitely impossible for her and Ji Lian. They want to do something big, and their love affairs are not on the same level as those little girls' love affairs.

"It's because of this that I've been mopping the floor for a long time." Qi Mi lied in a low voice. In fact, she didn't say much about panic, especially with such specific content and lying face to face so close to her parents.

However, she still had some idea of ​​her mother's "lie detection" skills, and knew that her mother basically couldn't tell when the person opposite was talking nonsense - as long as the content was logical.

But Qi Mi's excuse seemed illogical to Qi Min. Qi Mi hasn't done much physical work at home and doesn't know what mopping the floor is. When she was in elementary school, her class teacher taught the students to be considerate of their parents and let the stronger boys go home to help their parents mop the floor, while the weaker girls went home to wash the dishes. Therefore, Qi Mi felt that mopping the floor was a "heavy job" that needed to be done. A lot of effort. But in fact, even mopping the entire floor where their classroom is located would not take an hour.

Qi Min glanced at her daughter silently. After deciding to become the "sole administrator" for Mimi in the future, she had to start thinking about changing the way her son educates her daughter.
