Chapter 242: The Train to Tomorrow

"Yu Yu."

“…”

The girl didn't answer, but kept backing away. Soon her butt touched the crib and she sat on it.

For some reason I felt like a stupid little white rabbit, running around under the hunter's hands, and finally jumping onto the dining table.

"Why are you running?"

Xu Cheng grabbed her arm, but the girl still didn't speak, her heart beating fast with nervousness.

Super weird thoughts popped up in my mind one after another.

Time is so tight, do we have to bully her now?

I heard that after the incident, girls find it difficult to walk. How can they catch a bus then?

"Give it to me quickly." Xu Cheng said to her, his voice full of impatience.

The girl instinctively resisted and struggled, and refused in a soft voice.

“No, no…”

"You asked me to put it on, I'll put it in a secret place. The train is too messy. If there is a pickpocket, all the money on me will be stolen."

"Um?"

The girl then realized that Xu Cheng was asking her for money.

How do you feel?

It was probably like he met a robber on the road and was afraid that he would rape him, but he said he only robbed him of his money.

I was surprised, but also not convinced.

Of course, she was very obedient and gave him all her money.

He didn't know where Xu Cheng had put it, but it must be a part of his body that was very close to his skin. Only pickpockets who liked to pick on men would target those parts.

"Okay, let's go."

After closing the door, they took the elevator downstairs and went to the front desk to check out.

Seeing that they were of similar age, the lady at the front desk asked them with a smile while processing their check-in.

"Are you going home with your girlfriend?"

“…”

Xu Cheng smiled awkwardly, and Yu Yu just lowered his head to look at the tip of his shoes, his face so red that it was about to drip water.

"We are just friends..."

"Oh, oh, I understand, I understand."

The young lady smiled at Xu Cheng politely. Xu Cheng didn't know what she understood because her eyes were so ambiguous.

If you have a yellow head, everything you see will look yellow!

"Have you been living comfortably these days? If you have any comments, please let us know and we will correct them."

Xu Cheng and Yu Yu looked at each other at the same time and spoke.

"It's all good... except that the bathroom can't be locked, which is a bit awkward."

"This is also for the safety of the guests, to prevent them from accidentally locking themselves in, or having an accident inside, and being unable to be discovered and rescued in time by outsiders."

“I see.”

"Uh-huh."

The young lady nodded and said, "It has been processed for you. I look forward to meeting you next time."

"That may take a long time."

"There's always a chance, beautiful lady. Here are two small gifts for you."

The young lady was very good at pleasing guests. She knew that gifts given to girls were more likely to win their favor, so she handed the gift to Yu Yu.

Yu Yu took it with great trepidation and took a look. It was a postcard with the hotel logo drawn on it and the Bund scenery printed on it. It was very beautiful.

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome. I wish you a safe journey and a happy relationship~"

The two of them didn't know what to say and just ran away. The young lady then returned her attention to the computer screen.

Only then did she notice the messages between the two.

"16?"

She suddenly raised her head and looked at the two people's backs that had disappeared.

"This is too cruel!"

…

The azure sky is like an emerald with the finest water color, and there are a few cotton-like soft clouds, which can make people feel very happy just by looking at them.

"Give me the luggage."

Xu Cheng was very responsible and carried the small bag for Yu Yu. The backpack that was heavy and big on her back was very light on Xu Cheng's back.

Yu Yu habitually observed what she could do, and then found that there was nothing. As long as she did nothing, she could go home with Xu Cheng.

It's always like this around him, and this feeling is especially obvious this time when I'm away from home.

For a moment, the girl felt that something that had been missing in her heart since childhood, such as the sense of security brought by paternal and maternal love, was now satisfied in Xu Cheng.

Fortunately, it only lasted a week. If it had been longer, she might have become dependent on it.

Take a taxi to the train station.

The whole station was bustling with people, like a pot of boiling water, hot and chaotic.

"Hold on to me." Xu Cheng turned around and said to Yu Yu.

Yu Yu bit her lip and grabbed the corner of his clothes with her small hands.

After all, they were in a place like this, and it seemed that the two of them would be separated by the flow of people.

It took a lot of effort, and it was like a battle to get the ticket and go through security check.

At this time, the sweat from the girl's palms had already soaked the corners of Xu Cheng's clothes, and Xu Cheng touched them.

"You have so much water."

“…”

The girl blushed and didn't answer. She was so nervous that she was afraid that she would be separated from Xu Cheng if they passed by each other.

"Let's go to the supermarket and buy some food for the journey."

Seeing that the price of the goods was half that of the outside, the girl tried hard to stop Xu Cheng from buying them. It was only after Xu Cheng told her that they would be twice as expensive on the train that the girl agreed.

However, when they were almost at the checkout counter, Xu Cheng looked embarrassed again and pulled Yu Yu to the back of the shelf.

"Yu Yu, help me get it out."

“Ah…ah?”

"Help me get the money."

Xu Cheng held up the things in his hands, indicating that both his hands were busy.

“Where are you?”

"There's a small pocket on the left side of the waist. "

"oh oh."

With the shelter of the shelf, Yu Yu hardened her heart, bit her lip, and reached her hand in tremblingly.

I felt like I was about to take part in a game on some variety show.

He nervously reached his hand into the box, not knowing what was inside. Only the audience could see it, not the person involved.

“Okay, okay.”

"Let me see."

Xu Cheng pointed at the things in his hand.

"Six pieces of instant noodles, two pieces of ham... a total of twenty-three. Is that enough for you?"

"I?"

Yu Yu just wanted to hold the money between her fingertips. She used to be a money-grubber, but for the first time she felt that money was... dirty.

After getting on the train, Xu Cheng left the window seat for Yu Yu, and he moved the luggage onto the luggage rack easily.

This made Yu Yu feel very envious. If she grew up and took the train by herself, even putting away her luggage would be difficult.

Just like the seats on the plane, Yu Yu sat by the window and Xu Cheng sat in the middle. Across the table was a young couple who were not afraid of strangers and would smile and hum some popular songs from time to time.

Yu Yu looked around for a while and then the train started moving.

The carriage swayed gently as it left the station. The city gradually receded and farmland slowly appeared, making people linger in the orange twilight.

Of course, the girl was also surprised to find that she could see Xu Cheng's face in the reflection of the glass.

He ate melon seeds, talked to the girls around him, stretched, went to the toilet, and dozed off...

She could see his every move simply by looking at the glass.

"Pearl seeds, drinks, mineral water, beer, peanuts, ham sausage..."

With the conductor's voice in his ears, Xu Cheng poked Yu Yu's arm.

"Want to eat instant noodles?"

"oh."

"Let's go get some water."

Yu Yu didn't know where to go to pick it up, so he followed Xu Cheng with the instant noodle bucket to the connection between the carriages.

Xu Cheng took it first, and Yu Yu wanted to follow his example, but Xu Cheng took it on his own initiative.

"Let me take it. The water is very hot."

This made the girl feel once again that she could not leave his care.

The instant noodles tasted too strong, so I squatted in the carriage and ate them.

Yu Yu’s noodles were not soaked too soft yet and were still a little hard, but she just happened to like eating hard food. Although it was not easy to chew when she put it in her mouth, the taste was very addictive.

She was eating in small bites when suddenly a long piece of flesh-colored ham was stretched out to her and plopped into her noodles.

"I'll give you my sausage." Xu Cheng threw away the ham skin with the words "King of Kings" written on it.

Just now in the supermarket, perhaps Yu Yu thought it was too expensive, so in order to save money, he only agreed to buy a pack of instant noodles.

"You, you eat it."

The girl wanted to take it back and give it to him, but Xu Cheng insisted that she take a bite first before giving it to him.

Yu Yu couldn't tell whether he was taking good care of her or just wanted to eat her saliva.

But if you don’t want it, you should stick to it!

So he opened his little mouth, took a small bite like a cat, and then passed it to Xu Cheng.

"You eat it."

"Uh... why did you really bite it? I thought you would pinch it off?"

“I…I…”

"I'll give you the eggs, too!"

"I don't want it anymore!"

As time passed, stars were already hanging low over the plain outside the window. Looking out through the glass from inside the car, I could not see the stars clearly.

Yu Yu was very sleepy. He dozed off and swayed from side to side. He tried to lie on the small table, but the table was very small and it was very uncomfortable to lie on it.

"How about you lean on me?"

As if he could see how upset she was, Xu Cheng smiled and explained, "I feel really guilty for dragging you out to suffer like this. This is my compensation."

"……ah?"

Yu Yu fiddled with her fingers in panic, and Xu Cheng pulled her, so she leaned on his shoulder involuntarily.

It's the right hardness and softness, but as soon as I leaned against it, I felt like I was drugged and fell asleep.

"Go to sleep, don't worry, I'll be watching over you."

Smelling the warm scent like the sun at the tip of her nose, Yu Yu's reserve could no longer resist the heavy eyelids caused by sleepiness.

It's really easy to sleep with him around.

Close it, open it, close it again, open it again, and close it again...

This time he didn't open his eyes.

It was dark in front of me, but it was enough to make people feel at ease.

I couldn't help but rub my head against his shoulder.

Just like that, I fell asleep comfortably beside him.

No matter how long the night will last.
