"Oh, I understand." Xia Wan nodded solemnly. She understood the sadness of leaving one's hometown.

The young woman smiled somewhat awkwardly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, and said in a voice full of grievance, "Comrade, I'm not feeling well. Could you switch seats with me?"

Hearing this, Xia Wan frowned and looked at her: "Will changing seats solve the problem? Does my seat have some kind of magical healing power?"

She patted her head and said, feigning seriousness, "Then let's not change it. I'm afraid I'll feel uncomfortable if I leave this position! I'm naturally sickly and in poor health!"

What a joke! She had a window seat, how could she possibly give it up to someone else? She's not a saint, why would she demean herself by sitting in that aisle seat, enduring the unpleasant smell and the pain of being squeezed by others?

Just then, the girl sitting opposite Xia Wan suddenly couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, her eyes full of mocking anticipation.

Xia Wan was immediately displeased. She turned to look at the other person and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Is it that funny?"

"Ah, no, no, I wasn't laughing at you!" The girl opposite quickly waved her hand, a bright smile on her face, her eyes curving into crescents. "My name is Huang Qiujie, I'm a sent-down youth going to Harbin in Heilongjiang Province. Comrade, where are you going?"

This was the first time she had ever seen Li Zhenzhen get the short end of the stick; this woman was to her liking!

Xia Wan wondered to herself, was this girl's smile a little fake?

Her facial expression was innocent and charming, but the scheming hidden in her eyes was impossible to ignore: "Hello, my name is Xia Wan, and I'm also an educated youth going to Harbin!"

Hearing Xia Wan say that she was also a sent-down youth going to Harbin, Huang Qiujie became even more excited, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels: "What a coincidence! I'm going to Heping Commune in Yongmao County, what about you?"

"It's quite a coincidence, I'm also going to the Peace Commune." Xia Wan still had a polite smile on her face, but a hint of doubt welled up in her heart.

She felt that the name Huang Qiujie seemed familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. But she couldn't recall the specific details and could only attribute it to someone the original owner might have known.

However, judging from Huang Qiujie's expression, he didn't seem to know her.

Seeing the two chatting so enthusiastically, Li Zhenzhen's face darkened, and she couldn't help but interrupt their conversation: "Qiu Jie, are you still angry with me? I really didn't mean to do that, can you please stop targeting me!"

Huang Qiujie rolled her eyes, a flash of hatred in them, but her face remained calm: "Li Zhenzhen, are you out of your mind? What did I say that was directed at you? Besides, you drugged your own brother, do you need to explain yourself to me?"

"Ah...no...I'm sorry, Qiu Jie...I said the wrong thing again..." Li Zhenzhen lowered her head, looking aggrieved.

She was incredibly nervous; she never expected Huang Qiujie to reveal that matter!

Li Zhenzhen lowered her head, not daring to continue speaking. Fortunately, Huang Qiujie also did not intend to continue speaking.

Xia Wan finally understood: this girl was a white lotus flower; no wonder she gave her that look earlier!

This was just a minor incident, and Xia Wan didn't take it to heart. She had gotten up early today and was a little tired, so she leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and dozed off, while still chatting idly with her little system.

"Little system, could you please let me see what's in the shop?" Xia Wan asked expectantly.

However, the little system was ruthless: [This system does not have permission; the host needs to accumulate 100 points before unlocking the shop!]

Xia Wan frowned and complained, "Wouldn't that take forever? Am I just supposed to wait for someone to provoke me first, and then retaliate?"

She scratched her head helplessly, cursing the little system for its lack of empathy.

[This system is not human and therefore does not need to follow human rules of conduct! If you wish to open the shop, you must rely on your own efforts!]

Xia Wan pouted and rolled her eyes sarcastically: "Okay, I'll keep trying! Thank you so much!"

However, Xia Wan is always optimistic. Since the store cannot be opened immediately, let's enjoy the fun of the lottery first!

She tapped the lottery button!

[Host Xia Wan will begin the lottery draw, please wait!]

[Congratulations, host Xia Wan, on successfully winning 30 points! The reward has been credited to your account balance. Please check it promptly! We look forward to your participation in the next lucky draw!]

Xia Wan suddenly opened her eyes, her face filled with excitement that she couldn't help but show.

Is this even possible? The prizes even include points?

She couldn't resist and clicked the lottery button again.

[Host Xia Wan is participating in the lottery, please wait!]

[Congratulations, host Xia Wan! You have won +1 storage space. Welcome to participate in the next lucky draw!]

[The prize has been awarded. Simply recite "Use" in your mind!]

"Another space? It's not going to be another shoebox-sized one, is it?"

Xia Wan asked casually, while silently reciting "Use Space!"

When I used my mind to explore the space again, I found that it had become larger!

Hmm... about the size of two shoeboxes!

"So that's how you add one! Then I can keep expanding my space when I draw prizes in the future!"

Xia Wan is extremely happy. She had good luck today and was considering whether to try again, as she still had the points from the lottery reward!

However, after careful consideration, I decided to give up and just have some fun. I'll save the remaining points to open the shop!

Be careful when participating in lotteries; a gambler's mentality can be deadly!

Life in the countryside is tough, so it's better to play it safe!

The train clattered along, making a rhythmic sound.

Sitting in the carriage, Xia Wan frowned, trying to suppress her urge to use the restroom. Finally, her physiological needs gave in, and she got up to relieve herself.

"Wanwan, do you need to go to the restroom? I'll watch your luggage for you!" Huang Qiujie noticed her stand up and said with a smile.

Xia Wan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded: "Yes, thank you."

This girl is really interesting. When she was talking to Li Zhenzhen just now, she didn't hide her disgust at all and didn't care about becoming enemies with her. You can tell from those few words that the two of them have a grudge!

Now she's trying to be friendly to her, but the calculation in her eyes doesn't lie. What does this girl want from her?

Xia Wan shook her head, too lazy to think about it anymore; she'd deal with whatever came her way. At that moment, she only hoped to get through the crowded throng to the restroom as quickly as possible.

To be honest, Xia Wan's family used to be well-off, so she never experienced public transportation like buses and subways in the modern world!

In her past life, the hardship she endured most was probably the period when she was learning Sanda (Chinese kickboxing).

Because her father was busy with work, she didn't like being followed by bodyguards, so she could only learn some self-defense skills.

She lived a happy and fulfilling life under Lao Xia's protection since childhood! Although she grew up without a mother, she didn't feel different from other children her age because of Lao Xia's careful guidance and companionship!
