Yan Xiao felt both distressed and relieved. Fortunately, he had mentioned it to Li Huaqing and asked the girl to carry the medicine with her.

Otherwise, he really didn't dare to think whether the young girl's body could withstand sitting on these several train journeys...

It's already past 4 PM, and their train tickets are for 7 AM tomorrow.

So he had plenty of time, but considering he had to catch a train the next morning, he decided to find a guesthouse near the train station to stay overnight and get some rest.

He and Wen Qinghe only ate breakfast in the morning. At noon in the county town, Yan Xiao originally wanted to take the little girl to a state-run restaurant.

But when the girl got out of the car, she looked pale and sickly at the mention of food, so Yan Xiao didn't insist.

Thinking that he had at least bought some sponge cake, he figured he could at least have something to eat when he got hungry later.

After sitting in the car all day, the little girl didn't say she wanted to eat anything, which made him even more distressed and unable to eat.

Seeing that she looked pale and exhausted, he decided to let the girl rest in the room first, and then he would go to the state-run restaurant to buy food.

Nowadays, relationships between men and women are strictly regulated. If there is no marriage certificate, men and women of the opposite sex must book two separate rooms.

Yan Xiao showed the receptionist their letters of introduction.

"Serving the people. Our single rooms are 50 cents each, and two rooms would cost one dollar in total."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiao took out ten small bills and a handful of fruit candies and handed them over.

"Hello, comrade! My fiancée and I are getting married soon, so I've come to deliver wedding candy to our relatives. We'll be going home to hold the banquet in a few days."

My fiancée is a little timid; could you please arrange two adjacent rooms for us?

The receptionist looked at the stunningly beautiful young girl and marveled at the existence of such a wonderful person in the world.

She accepted the wedding candy offered by the man without hesitation, taking it as a way to share in the joy!

I readily gave him the keys to two adjacent rooms.

"Comrade, here's a dollar for you. Your rooms are both on the second floor, the hot water room is at the end of the corridor, and the bathhouse is opposite the hot water room. Wishing you a happy marriage and a long and happy life together!"
