Chapter 155 Returning to the Capital

After having a lot of fun, Gu Siyan and Jinran went out on their own, while Shen Cong and Shen Ming had things to do.

Jinran saw that there was nothing left to do in Guangzhou, and it was almost time, so she and Gu Siyan decided to return to Beijing.

Shen Cong and Shen Ming tried to persuade him to stay, saying that once they were done with their work, they would go eat some local specialties and visit some tourist attractions. They told him not to rush and to take his time exploring.

“My boyfriend has taken me everywhere, and I’ve realized that he’s more useful than my brothers.”

Gu Siyan proudly puffed out her chest, feeling that the red scarf on her chest looked even brighter!

Shen Cong and Shen Ming weren't so happy. They felt like their younger sister was disliking them.

After buying their tickets, the two of them boarded the train with their bags full of things. Jinran mailed all the things she bought for her parents and grandparents, as well as several brands of cigarettes for Grandpa Shen. Her grandfather would be overjoyed when he saw them.

She had bought a sleeper ticket, and when she finally found her berth number, it was already taken. Was this the start of a major battle? Jinran thought excitedly.

Gu Siyan stepped forward and shook the sleeping man awake. "Hello, this is our seat. Could you please move aside?"

The man was woken up and was a little unhappy. He said fiercely, "You say it's yours, so it's yours. Besides, why can't you be a little more friendly? Can't you see I was asleep?"

Just as Jinran was about to make her move, a middle-aged woman next to her shouted, "That's right! You have no compassion at all. You're all young, what's wrong with standing there for a while!"

Jinran felt it would be impolite not to retort, and was about to speak when Gu Siyan sneered, "You say it's fine for us young people to stand for a while, but you're not young anymore. Why don't you die in place of the elderly? You're living a life of utter ignorance."

The woman angrily pointed at Gu Siyan, about to curse him, when the man suddenly lunged to hit her. Jinran kicked him back and said coldly, "Who the hell do you think you are? You've got some nerve. Get up and go find the train conductor to change the sheets, or I'll throw you off the train."

The man, kicked by Jinran, let out a groan but couldn't even utter a sound of pain. Jinran then turned her gaze to the middle-aged woman and asked with a smile, "Are you a passerby, or this unlucky man's unlucky wife?"

The woman was terrified by the force of Jinran's kick and said tremblingly, "We're traveling together, but we only managed to get one sleeper berth. We couldn't help it, we didn't mean to. We'll pack up right away."

The woman first helped the man to her bed, then ran off to find the train conductor to ask for a sheet, afraid that if she was late, she would be kicked out too.

Jinran said smugly to Gu Siyan, "Look, sometimes people are just shameless. You can't reason with them. Just take action and teach them a lesson. See how much faster that is? They're obedient now, aren't they, Uncle?"

The man flinched; the pain in his stomach made him dare not act rashly.

Gu Siyan was also stunned; this overwhelming sense of security actually came from his girlfriend.

A moment later, the woman returned with clean sheets, carefully laid them out, and Jinran stood to the side like a bully, while passengers in the next carriage craned their necks to watch the spectacle.

Jinran smiled and thanked her, "That's more like it. I hope you'll keep it that way in the future, okay?"

A man and a woman nodded frantically.

Jinran patted Gu Siyan on the shoulder, "Young man, put your luggage away and get some water. I'll treat you well."

Gu Siyan: "What's with all those sympathetic looks from everyone?"

The journey was quiet. The man and woman had gotten off the train long ago, probably terrified. At first, they both insisted on getting into the hard-seat section, but the man won in the end. The woman acted as if she didn't exist the entire time, not daring to utter a single word.

Jinran shrugged. Master Shen could make even the most wicked person reform with just one move.

That's absolutely excellent.

Gu Siyan asked with amusement, "Does your professor know about your chivalrous behavior? The professor who gave you so much homework?"

Jinran really knows how to bring up the wrong thing at the wrong time.

But the thought of all the homework that's driving her crazy makes her want to cry. What did she do to deserve this? There's so much to learn.
