Chapter 28: Is the original male protagonist a bit low-class?

When the two returned to their seats, Li Xiaoqing was eating an egg.

Seeing them approach, she snorted and turned her head away.

Across from him, Xiao Feng was slowly and deliberately biting into a tasteless flatbread.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Linghui quickly took a jar of meat sauce from her net bag and handed it to him:

"Xiao Feng, this is meat sauce my mom made. It tastes really good. You can dip it in your flatbread and eat it!"

"No need," Xiao Feng refused without even looking up.

"Oh, don't be shy, we've known each other for a long time."

Zhou Linghui opened the meat sauce and pushed it in front of him with a carefree smile, saying, "Try it, it's delicious!"

"I said no, don't you understand what I mean?" Xiao Feng's expression was a little cold.

How could he accept being given food in public, as if it were charity? He had lost all face.

Linghui acted as recklessly as before this week, which he found utterly repulsive.

"Okay..." A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhou Linghui's eyes as she lowered her head and put away the meat sauce.

Jiang Feiyan remained silent upon witnessing this scene.

Before Linghui encountered any danger, she did not intend to interfere with her advances towards Xiao Feng.

Otherwise, it could easily backfire and upset Sister Linghui.

However, judging from Xiao Feng's attitude towards Sister Linghui, it is indeed not very good, and it is estimated that he really doesn't like Sister Linghui.

That's normal. If someone you don't like keeps getting close to you, you'll start to dislike them too.

Unfortunately, Sister Linghui is a little too obsessed with love and can't understand these things at all, yet she keeps giving without thinking.

In modern terms, to put it bluntly, this is called... a simp.

As the saying goes, a simp who keeps fawning will eventually end up with nothing.

Isn't that exactly how Sister Linghui's ending is in the novel?

Jiang Feiyan sighed inwardly, knowing she would have to deal with whatever came her way in the future.

If we let Sister Linghui do some other things, the other party won't just be thinking about pleasing Xiao Feng.

During her time on the train, Jiang Feiyan planned to observe the male protagonist from the original novel and get to know his personality.

After all, novels are novels, and reality is reality; you have to experience it for yourself.

If Xiao Feng were a person of good character who consistently and righteously rejected Sister Linghui, then she could feel a little more at ease.

But if he's two-faced and deliberately keeps Linghui hanging behind her back, she won't let him off the hook.

......

Soon, night fell.

The conversations in the carriage gradually subsided, the headlights dimmed, and everyone leaned back in their seats and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Jiang Feiyan woke up several times throughout the night.

Train seats in the 1970s were made of solid wood, very hard, and would make your buttocks uncomfortable after sitting for a while.

In addition, sitting for a long time causes back pain, and the trains outside keep clattering, making it impossible to really fall asleep; at most, one can only close their eyes and rest.

During that time, she went to the toilet. As soon as she opened the toilet door, a pungent smell hit her nose.

Jiang Feiyan quickly closed the toilet door and went into the hotel to use the restroom, which made her feel better.

Sigh, the facilities and conditions these days are so rudimentary. Modern times are so much better.

When morning came, many people in the carriage stood up, stretched their arms and legs, and rubbed their stiff necks while grimacing.

"Yanzi, does your neck hurt? Let me massage it for you?" Zhou Linghui had slept well and was full of energy early in the morning.

"It's alright, no need to go to so much trouble." Jiang Feiyan quickly waved her hand.

"It's nothing." Zhou Linghui got up and walked to her side, smiling and whispering:

"Let me tell you, I'm a really good massage therapist. My mom often has headaches, and I give her a massage every now and then."

As she spoke, she placed her hands on Jiang Feiyan's neck and began to massage it skillfully.

Zhou Linghui asked, "How was it, hehe?"

Jiang Feiyan smiled and said, "Very good, excellent craftsmanship."

It's really good, the massage feels quite comfortable.

“Absolutely!” Zhou Linghui smiled smugly: “Every time I ask my mom for pocket money, I give her a massage with all my might. It’s one of my specialties.”

Jiang Feiyan chuckled: ...But you really are a very filial son.

After massaging her for a while, Jiang Feiyan told her to stop.

"It's too crowded to get water right now, there's still some water in my water bottle, I'll just use this to wash my face, and then I'll clean up properly later when there are fewer people."

“Okay.” Zhou Linghui nodded.

Jiang Feiyan opened the kettle, poured water into the washbasin, put a towel in, and the water disappeared completely.

The two of them wrung out the wet towels and wiped their faces before starting to eat breakfast.

Breakfast consisted of large white steamed buns and eggs, served with meat sauce, which the two enjoyed immensely.

Zhou Linghui didn't go back to sit down; she stood next to Jiang Feiyan and ate until she finished before going back.

When she returned, the others were eating.

Li Xiaoqing didn't eat eggs this time; she was just munching on a dry, coarse steamed bun.

Xiao Feng ate flatbread as usual, while another educated youth, Wu Qi, ate steamed buns made with old dough.

Zhou Linghui was carefree and completely forgot Xiao Feng's cold attitude yesterday, so she took out the meat sauce again.

But this time she was smarter.

After opening the meat sauce, she placed it directly on the table and said with a smile, "You guys should dip some in the meat sauce; it tastes great."

Upon hearing this, the three people who were eating paused slightly.

This meat sauce does smell really good. I didn't have much of an appetite this morning, so it's a good dip.

"Thanks, then I won't be polite." Wu Qi, who had been invisible all along and was shy, was the first to move.

There was a small spoon in the meat sauce jar. He scooped some meat sauce onto the old-fashioned steamed bun and then slowly spread it out.

After I finished, I took a big bite.

Wow! Wu Qi's eyes lit up. This tastes so delicious!

"Um...can I get some more?" he asked cautiously.

“Of course!” Zhou Linghui replied with a smile.

"Thank you!" Wu Qi immediately took a spoon to scoop out the meat sauce.

Seeing his gluttonous appearance, Li Xiaoqing pouted and couldn't help but swallow.

She hadn't eaten meat in a long time, and this meat sauce was so flavorful and tempting.

After Wu Qi finished, Li Xiaoqing couldn't resist reaching out to scoop up some meat sauce.

“Hey…” Zhou Linghui suddenly spoke up.

Li Xiaoqing's eyelids twitched, and she quickly pulled her hand back, feeling guilty.

But she discovered that Zhou Linghui wasn't even looking at her; instead, she was chatting with Jiang Feiyan.

Li Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly scooped a spoonful of meat sauce onto the steamed bun.

Then he immediately stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth and began to chew it heartily, afraid that Zhou Linghui would see him.

Little did she know that her action had already been noticed by the other party.

Zhou Linghui snorted coldly in her heart.

If it weren't to get Xiao Feng to accept her meat sauce, she wouldn't have been so generous in giving the food to Li Xiaoqing.

Zhou Linghui smiled and looked at the handsome man opposite her: "Xiao Feng, everyone has tried it, why don't you give it a try too?"

"Hmm." Xiao Feng nodded indifferently.

Then, he slowly reached out his hand.

He picked up a spoon and scooped up a large spoonful of meat sauce, spreading it on his flatbread.

Jiang Feiyan couldn't help but twitch her lips: ......

It seems like Xiao Feng is acting in a rather low way.

Where's the aloof and elegant male lead type I was promised?
