Su Xin sighed helplessly and looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly.
Two days later in the morning, the group got into the car and set off under Hai Ma's worried gaze.
Chapter 1 On the way
It was late October and there were no special holidays, so there were not many people on the train.
A group of four people chose a hard sleeper, and the berths were in the same compartment.
The lower berth was given to Tiancheng and Su Xin, because Tiancheng had difficulty moving and it was not safe for him to climb up and down. Su Xin was on the other side to take care of him. The middle berth was given to Portland and Fang Yan, and the upper berth was empty with no passengers.
The journey on the train was somewhat boring, but there was a certain chattering loudspeaker that had endless things to say, so the atmosphere was not too depressing.
The four of them set out in the morning, so they were inevitably hungry by noon. Su Xin did bring a lot of food, including bread, snacks, drinks, etc. Most of which were bought by Helena from Ming Miao and stuffed into the Portland ship suit. A certain money-grubber smiled
Even though his eyes were gone, he still eagerly sent Helena out, calling out, "Come back next time, meow~"
But in fact, Su Xin doesn’t like to eat cold food. Of course, snacks and drinks are acceptable, but she prefers hot food such as main meals. Tiancheng and she share the same opinion on this point.
Ever since he started wandering due to health problems, Tiancheng has been living a life with no food to eat. When he was hungry and had his arms folded, he just wanted to drink some hot soup to satisfy himself. That was why Tiancheng developed a longing for hot food.
When it was time for dinner, the carriage was filled with a mixture of flavors of instant noodles. It wasn't pungent, but it smelled a little stuffy and uncomfortable.
They happened to hear a flight attendant pushing a cart selling boxed lunches, and they decided to have a meal with that, so the wealthy lady Su Xin spent a hundred yuan to buy four boxed lunches.
The lunch box was quite large, divided into four compartments, containing rice, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes and fried chicken fillet, with half a boiled egg. It was no different from the lunch boxes on the train in the previous life.
The four of them started eating.
Fang Yan ate the chicken steak first. She preferred to eat the delicious and favorite ones first, because if she was full later, it would be a big loss if she couldn't finish the delicious ones. So she just ate them like a hamster.
Biting into the crispy fried chicken steak.
Portland eats a combination of meat and vegetables, one bite of vegetable, one bite of meat, and one bite of rice. Vegetables, meat, rice, vegetables, meat, and rice. At first glance, it seems strangely rigorous... or is it obsessive-compulsive disorder? It's better to say that while eating, he never forgets to hold the baby in one hand.
It's a symptom of her obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Tiancheng cherishes food very much. Before eating, she will ask how much is in her lunch box. After comparing her own rice intake, she will move the food that has not been touched to the transparent lid before she actually starts eating.
Tiancheng ate very slowly. In addition to her own careful dining etiquette, she also had poor eyesight. However, she knew the location of each dish. With the light coming in from the window, she could accurately
Put your chopsticks into the grid you want to eat.
However, due to the poor control of the distance, it is common for the food to be empty or dropped after picking up. Tiancheng was not in a hurry, he picked up the food slowly and ate it patiently. After eating, he was just full and his lunch box was dry.
Clean.
Su Xin prefers to eat vegetables first. She likes to eat vegetarian food, and her eating habits also have a hint of bitterness before sweetness. In her previous life, her mother taught her the principle of bitterness before sweetness. Her mother's cultural level is not high.
How high is it? Now that I think about it, this principle must have been written in a storybook or an article in the circle of friends, but the habit has been formed anyway.
Su Xin took care of some of the food that was moved out of Tiancheng, under the pretext of not wasting food, but in fact, she was not full and needed it to grow. I understand.
After eating, Su Xin would tidy up the lunch box, put chopsticks, paper towels and other items in the lunch box and then cover it with a lid, so that it looks neater and cleaner.
After dinner, they rinsed their mouths and drank some water, then Amagi and Portland returned to bed. The sound of the train running on the tracks was a little hypnotic, "bang bang..." Soon Amagi fell asleep.
Portland sat on Su Xin's bed and matched clothes for the doll. She tried various combinations and had a lot of fun.
Fang Yan and Su Xin sat on folding chairs in the aisle, chatting in low voices as they watched the vegetation and buildings passing by outside the window.
"Susususu, are we going to sit all the way to the end? Do we have to sleep on the train for four days?"
"Um...what's wrong?"
"No, no, it's not too boring. I feel so tired. It would be nice if I could open the window and let in some fresh air. Maybe I'd feel more comfortable."
Su Xin glanced at the little braggart, thought for a moment and said, "Actually, we will only take this bus for two days, then get off in the middle to rest for a day before taking another bus."
"Oh~ You are so nice, Susu. Are you afraid that I'll be bored? I feel embarrassed that you care about me so much. Hehehe, you are so nice to me~~"
Su Xin didn't respond, not because of this, but mainly because of her own reasons.
She was not used to doing very private things in a very unfamiliar place, like...going to the bathroom.
To be honest, she only urinated on the train during the round trip to the banquet last time. The other self really couldn't do it.
For the sake of her health, Su Xin had to stop her train journey after two days, find a place to stay for one night and then get back on the road.
"But this kind of thing..." Su Xin glanced at Fang Yan, who was smiling brightly, "Forget it, let's not tell her. It's embarrassing."
As they chatted, the two ran out of things to say. Su Xin was bored and suddenly noticed that a woman not far away had passed by her seven or eight times.
She diverted some of her attention to the woman, who was wearing old clothes, looked to be in her early thirties, had her hair tied casually, and was in a hurry and seemed very anxious.
Su Xin watched her pass by again, took a towel and went to the bathroom in the back. After thinking about it, she went to Portland to ask for some antipyretic drugs and a large pack of wet wipes.
When the woman came back from the bathroom with a wet towel, she gently touched the other person's arm. After attracting the other person's attention, Su Xin asked if the child had a fever.
The woman seemed a little surprised and responded. Su Xin took out wet wipes and antipyretic medicine from the bed and handed her a bottle of water. "Take it and use it."
The woman was stunned, a little at a loss, "Thank... Thank you." After a pause, she asked embarrassedly, "How much money does it cost..."
Su Xin refused to take it, but insisted on giving it to her, and told her to go back quickly in a gentle voice, "Remember to ask the train attendant next time. There should be common medicines on the train."
The woman seemed to be choking up, and after thanking solemnly while holding the things, she hurried back.
Faintly, I could hear a woman calling "Nannan..." softly, so tenderly.
Su Xin recalled that when she was a child, she had a fever while riding on a train. Her mother was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. Finally, a passing flight attendant saw her and helped to wring out a towel to get antipyretic medicine to feed her.
"That's great..." Su Xin thought silently in her heart as she looked at the cubicle entrance not far away where she couldn't see anything.
Tiancheng, who had been awake for a while, lay on her side facing the inner wall and listened to the whole thing. She moved her body and changed direction, then rested her head on her arms and opened her eyes to look at the blurry figure against the light.
"It's great...
ps: I don’t know if you guys would be disgusted by writing something that is closer to real life, after all, beautiful girls don’t need to go to the toilet or something…
Chapter 2 Journey
The two days spent on the train seemed very long, and when we got off at the scheduled stopover city, we all had the illusion that we were in another world.
Tiancheng was held by Su Xin and Fang Yan's hand, while Portland held Su Xin's other hand. The four of them walked out of the station together through the not-so-crowded exit, intending to hail a taxi from the roadside not far away to go to the hotel they had booked.
Stay in the hotel.
The four of them were walking out of the station hall and met a woman with a child. Her wrinkles made her look older than her actual age.
"I'm sorry... My wallet was stolen and my child hasn't eaten yet... Can you give me fifty to buy a meal for the child..."
Su Xin was stunned for a moment, but without thinking much, she took out a hundred dollars from her bag and handed it to the other party, then left amid the woman's profuse words of thanks.
Tiancheng and Fang Yan moved their fingers when she took out the money, but in the end they did nothing.
Not long after we walked, we met another couple who also looked very embarrassed.
"I'm sorry... our suitcases were left on the bus, and our wallets were inside. Can you lend us 200 for one night? We'll return it to you once we find your wallet, okay?"
Su Xin frowned belatedly, but still gave the money. The couple left their phone number, thanked them and left.
"Um...well, I think..." Fang Yan spoke hesitantly, but Tiancheng pinched her hand lightly, so she stopped talking.
Su Xin was silent for a while, but didn't say anything.
When I was about to walk out of the train station, a dignified woman came towards me. She was about twenty years old, with wavy hair, delicate features, and an overall flamboyant beauty.
"Ah..." She looked at Su Xin and her group one last time, "Can you lend me some money? I don't have it saved on my phone."
She stamped her feet and gritted her teeth, "I don't know which bastard stole my bag! Don't let me find him..."
Seeing that the people in front of her didn't react, she raised her eyebrows. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on the shorter girl in the middle, she understood who was the boss.
"Little girl...you're not worried that your sister will cheat you out of money, are you?" She said as if she was amused. "I'm really in a hurry, otherwise why would I borrow money? I don't even have my card with me."
Su Xin still didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.
The woman raised an eyebrow and handed over her phone. "My contact information, please add it. Once I find the package, I will return it to you after transferring the money."
Su Xin took a look and saw that it was a WeChat business card code. The avatar was a black cat looking down at the camera. Its fur was pure and it looked a little arrogant. Its name was... Ebony.
Although she didn't want to admit it, the avatar gave Su Xin a certain degree of favor.
Su Xin likes cats very much, but has never kept one.
When she was a child, she had seen cuddly kittens and heard soft cries. Both made her heart feel warm as if it had been basked in the sun.
However, my family conditions in my previous life were not good. I had to go to school, and my mother did not have the extra energy to take care of the cats and dogs.
In this life, her family conditions were good, but her family members didn't like to keep pets because they would defecate, scratch furniture, and shed hair, which was somewhat troublesome, so Su Xin had never kept one.
Now I feel a little itchy when I see those cute and cool cat pictures, and I am a little less wary of this woman I met by chance.
Su Xin thought for a moment and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"
The woman raised an eyebrow, "Two thousand."
Su Xin paused and looked at her.
"What's wrong? This is the price of the hotel I'm looking at. It's not too expensive."
Su Xin glanced at the supplies in the virtual port area. She didn't know how many there were, so she simply added the WeChat account and lent the money.
"Well~ Thank you~" The woman seemed very satisfied. She turned and walked away as if lending them money was a favor.
"Well, I think two thousand...isn't it too much?" Fang Yan, a worker, felt her heart bleed. She didn't even make that much in a month's work. Although she was a student and a part-time worker, it was still a month's labor.
..You can buy a lot of delicious food...
"It doesn't matter." Tiancheng smiled, "We have to go through it all."
Su Xin didn't say anything. After leaving the station, the group took a taxi to the hotel.
The hotel is close to the station, the room is not big, a standard room with two beds and one bathroom. There is nothing else in the room, only a TV hanging on the wall to entertain.
Su Xin and Tiancheng slept in the same room so that it would be easier for her to take care of and help them.
Portland is not very attentive. She only cares about things related to her sister. Fang Yan's noisy attitude is not very suitable. Only she is more stable, and Tiancheng should be more comfortable getting along with her.
The takeaway for dinner was spicy hotpot. Su Xin loved spicy food, but her stomach was not very good, so she didn't dare to eat very spicy food, so she could only order slightly spicy food to satisfy her desire for spicy food.
Su Xin is from the south, which is close to the sea. She eats sweet and sour dishes on a daily basis, and her seafood dipping sauces are mostly soy sauce, vinegar, etc.
After my parents divorced in my previous life, my mother took me to Sichuan by car. Life was hard but at least we settled down.
My taste also changed with that of the people around me. I started to like spicy food. After all, sometimes dried chilies would be put into the stir-fried vegetables at school. Over time, I became a habit.
My mother has never been able to eat much. Occasionally, when she orders a spicy hot pot, she will rinse it with a bowl of boiled water and eat a little, and then cook a bowl of noodles for herself.
Su Xin didn't feel anything while eating the slightly spicy malatang, but Tiancheng's face turned a little red and there was some sweat on the tip of his nose.
"Sister Tiancheng can't eat spicy food?" Su Xin asked after swallowing a mouthful of lotus root slices.
"Ah... Actually I'm fine, it's just that I'm not feeling well and I sweat easily." Tiancheng smiled softly, and tried to pick up the meatballs in the bowl several times but failed.
Seeing this, Su Xin stuck her chopsticks into the meatball, then brought the meatball to Tiancheng's lips.
Tiancheng was stunned, and Su Xin thought for a moment, "Ah... Sorry, I used my chopsticks..."
"Hmm? It's okay." Tiancheng came back to his senses, "I don't mind."
As she spoke, she opened her lips that were dyed red, which, combined with her slightly pale skin, made Tiancheng look a little seductive.
She took a small bite with her white teeth and chewed it slowly.
"It seems...it's been a long time since someone treated me like this..."
Suppressing the slight moisture in the corners of his eyes, he said, "It's delicious. Thank you, Susu."
Su Xin smiled and fed the meatball to him before she took her hand back and continued eating her own.
While she was eating, her phone rang with a message. Su Xin took a bite of the cauliflower and unlocked her phone. It was the black cat, um... the woman whose WeChat name was Ebony.
"Thank you, little girl. I found the bag."
This was followed by a transfer message for two thousand five hundred.
Su Xin smiled, at least they were not all scammers. She collected the money and transferred back 500 yuan. The other party did not reply and did not claim it.
Su Xin didn't continue watching. She put her phone down and continued eating, occasionally humming.
Tian Cheng was curious after hearing this. "What's wrong? You look so happy."
"Nothing, I just think it's good that not everyone in the world is a liar."
