Chapter 17: A Shallow Destiny

"No need to numb..."

"My luggage is still on the seat. You can go up and have a rest for a while. I'll go get the luggage and will be back soon."

Xue Miaoyun looked at Cang Ling's leaving back, unable to react.

"Girl, this is your boyfriend. He's really good looking."

"Yes, yes, it was so imposing that I didn't dare to speak just now."

"Four pockets, probably an officer..."

Xue Miaoyun was surrounded by several passengers in the same compartment. She was completely overwhelmed by this enthusiastic attitude.

Xue Miaoyun, who is familiar with the indifference of modern society and does not care about other people's affairs, is really speechless.

She also felt helpless. Could she say that Cang Ling was just a stranger whom she had just met for no more than five hours? In this era, there are many rules and regulations for interactions between men and women.

So Xue Miaoyun could only smile bitterly and say that they were friends. We just happened to be going the same way.

It was not until Cang Ling came to the aisle outside the box with his few luggage that Xue Miaoyun got rid of these people.

"What's wrong?" Cang Ling looked at Xue Miaoyun in confusion.

"No, it's okay." Xue Miaoyun forced a smile, crawled back to her shop, and leaned cross-legged on her bag tiredly.

Cang Ling frowned, said nothing, and just stood against the wall in the aisle. Whenever someone walked through their section of the aisle, they would subconsciously lighten their steps. Don't dare to speak loudly.

Because she didn't sleep well last night and a series of things happened today, Xue Miaoyun was also very tired.

As I leaned against it, I fell asleep in a daze.

Cang Ling had excellent eyesight and he noticed at the first sight that the little girl had fallen asleep.

His eyes were no longer covered and were fixed on the other person.

He knew that this was very rude, but his heart was out of control. He wanted to spend more time with her and didn't want to miss each other like this.

This was the first time, the first time he met a girl he loved. He used to think that all love at first sight was just based on lust, but now he found that it was indeed the case. He is just an ordinary man in the world.

[…Dear comrades…We have arrived at Lin’an Station…]

The arrival signal came over the radio. Some passengers began to pack their luggage and prepare to leave.

Cang Ling was not in a hurry. He waited until most people had left before he took two long steps towards the box.

"Comrade Xue, we have arrived."

Xue Miaoyun opened her eyes dazedly and looked at Cang Ling blankly. Who is this and where is this.

Cang Ling was so touched by her ignorant look that his heartbeat slowed down.

If anyone saw the tips of his ears, they would have noticed that they were red.

"Comrade Miaoyun, we have arrived."

"Ah, here we are, here we are!" Xue Miaoyun quickly woke up. Get out of bed immediately.

"careful."

Cang Ling supported Xue Miaoyun who was about to fall, and felt that this girl was really clumsy. If one is not watched carefully, something bad will happen.

"Thank you, come on, let's go, the trains have stopped."

"Don't worry, Lin'an Station will stop for a longer time."

By the time the two got off the train, everyone else had already walked a long way away.

Xue Miaoyun looked around in this completely unfamiliar place.

"Is there anyone coming to pick you up?"

"There should be one." At the exit, Xue Miaoyun saw a cardboard box with her name on it.

"There. Hello, I'm Xue Miaoyun." Xue Miaoyun politely took off her mask and greeted the other party.

The person who came to pick up Xue Miaoyun was a young man in his twenties. He was stunned for a long time when he saw Xue Miaoyun's face.

"Xue, Comrade Xue, hello. I am County Magistrate Yu's secretary. You can just call me Xiao Yan."

Xue Miaoyun was surprised. She didn't expect that Uncle Xun's good friend was actually the county magistrate.

"Hello, I'm Xue Miaoyun. Sorry to bother you."

"No trouble, no trouble." Xiao Yan shook his head with a flushed face.

Xue Miaoyun smiled.

“Ahem…”

"Ah, Comrade Cang, I found the person. Thank you for your care along the way." He almost forgot that Cang Ling was still by his side.

Cang Ling knew that he should leave at this time, otherwise he would be disliked.

But County Magistrate Yu, there is no need to worry about losing the news...

"It's just a small favor. I'll take my leave now." Cang Ling looked down at Xue Miaoyun with a sad look in his eyes.

"Goodbye." Xue Miaoyun swallowed, she felt the pressure.

"This way, please, Comrade Xue. The county magistrate is not off work yet, but she has already arranged a room for you. Please come this way."

"Thank you." Xue Miaoyun looked at the room in front of her. It was very simple, but also very clean. She was very satisfied with this.

Xiao Yan looked at the fatigue on Xue Miaoyun's face and knew that she was tired from the journey. He immediately and considerately suggested that Xue Miaoyun take a rest for a while, and he would bring her some food later.

Xue Miaoyun was naturally very grateful.

After resting for two hours, Xue Miaoyun finally felt a little more energetic. After eating the bowl of noodles that Xiao Yan brought back, she felt completely alive again.

Xue Miaoyun naturally wouldn't wander around in someone else's house. She stayed in the guest room and tinkered with things in the space. She is experimenting with the blue of life to see if it can be used as medicine. Because the Mother's Blue will quickly dissipate if exposed to the outside world, one can only tinker with it in space using consciousness.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the owner got off work.

According to Xiao Yan, County Magistrate Yu is an old revolutionary who has been working in the Lin'an government. My husband is not at home all year round. We have two sons, but they both live in the countryside.

So County Magistrate Yu was the only one at home. The other party works hard and doesn't spend much time at home.

No wonder she felt there was no life in this house when she entered the house. This is not a home, it's more like a hotel.

"County Magistrate Yu." Xue Miaoyun greeted him gracefully.

"You are Lihua's daughter, Miaoyun. Oh, you are so beautiful." Yu Xiaohua looked at Xue Miaoyun. This girl was really beautiful. She did look a bit like Lihua in her eyebrows.

But she is much prettier than Lihua.

"County Magistrate Yu knows my mother." Xue Miaoyun was surprised. Did the original owner's mother know so many people?

"Your mother was the youngest in our class. She was beautiful and well-behaved. Most people in our class treated her as a little sister." Yu Xiaohua recalled his youthful years and sighed. Now the youngest sister has passed away.

"Miaoyun, call me Aunt Yu. Don't worry, stay at home. I've already bought you a train ticket. It's a sleeper ticket. I know you're not in a hurry. It'll be in the afternoon of two days later."

"Thank you, Aunt Yu."

There was only Aunt Yu in the Yu family, which made Xue Miaoyun feel a lot more relaxed.

After discovering that Aunt Yu had a generous personality and was very kind to her, Xue Miaoyun began to treat her as an elder like Xun Jinnian.

Aunt Yu basically doesn’t cook at home, she always eats in the company cafeteria. Xue Miaoyun was not used to the food, and Aunt Yu noticed it, so she gave her money and tickets and told her to eat at a state-owned restaurant.

Xue Miaoyun naturally wouldn't be so wasteful, so she just bought the vegetables and cooked them herself.

Her cooking skills are pretty good.
