Zhou Yiyi headed to Beijing, Lin Mu to Shanghai, and Zhou Mo to Guangzhou.
Once they left the city, their Xiao Lingtong phones were of no use. Lin Mu and Zhou Mo both had cell phones and reminded Zhou Yiyi to remember to contact them online.
Contacting online was more suited for out-of-town situations since mobile phone charges were quite expensive at the time, especially for long-distance calls, but surfing the internet for an hour only cost two yuan.
Because there was a three-day holiday, the school locked its gates that night. She told them her train was at midnight, so after dinner, she took the bus with her bag to the train station. In reality, she found a restroom to enter the "space" and would enter the station tomorrow morning. Her train was scheduled to depart at 5:40 AM.
She had bought an upper bunk sleeper ticket which cost her over 130 yuan, and the train, being one of the older green trains, wouldn't arrive until around 11 or 12 at night.
