"That's so kind of you. But I'm a little hungry now, I'll go back to my carriage and get something to eat, then I'll come back later."

Wang Guifen: ...

I just beg you not to come anymore, you're such a jerk!

She looked up and couldn't help herself, but when she saw Lu Ting standing next to Su Miaoyan, she swallowed the curse that was about to come out.

He nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, you're welcome to come over anytime."

Su Miaoyan smiled, revealing her perfect eight teeth. "Okay, Auntie, I'll be going now. If you ever want me to talk to you, you can call me from the next carriage anytime."

Wang Guifen couldn't wait for her to leave, so why would she go to the neighbor's house to look for her?

Seeing that she was about to leave, he was practically kneeling on the ground and setting off firecrackers.

He quickly replied, "Okay, you should go back and eat something, don't go hungry."

"Okay, bye-bye, Auntie."

Su Miaoyan waved and turned to walk quickly toward the door.

Lu Ting followed closely behind.

The tall shadow that had been looming over them finally disappeared, and Wang Guifen breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he glared fiercely at the stone in his arms.

"Behave yourself and don't even think about running away!"

The stone passively endured it, but didn't cry, as if it had already gotten used to it.

On the other side, Su Miaoyan stopped in her tracks as soon as she stepped out the door.

Looking at the man in front of her with a serious expression, she said, "Lu Ting, we were right. This Wang Guifen is definitely not simple."

Lu Ting asked, "What do you think she is?"

Su Miaoyan moved closer to him and whispered those three words.

Lu Ting nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's what I thought too, but..."

But something still felt off.

If they were human traffickers, why would they take a child they had gone to great lengths to abduct to Xinjiang?

Why not just sell it locally in Chengdu?

Su Miaoyan asked, "But what?"

Lu Ting shared his conjecture, and Su Miaoyan agreed that Lu Ting's thinking made sense.

Yes, if they really were human traffickers, why didn't they sell them locally in Chengdu instead of taking a bus to Xinjiang?

Wouldn't that make it easier to be exposed?

In the darkness, Su Miaoyan always felt that the space was emitting a faint hum, but the surrounding environment was noisy, so she couldn't hear it.

Now, only she and Lu Ting were around, and she could hear the sounds of the surrounding space while she was talking.

Su Miaoyan said, "After we transfer to Gansu Province and are completely in Xinjiang Province, we may find out the answer."

As long as the stone remains on the train, Wang Guifen will definitely not harm it.

After all, it was under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Um."

Lu Ting has not yet made a move because he has his concerns. He doesn't know what the other party is up to yet, and he doesn't want to alert them.

The two returned to their own carriage, and Lu Ting took out some milk candy and sesame seed cakes from his luggage and handed them to him.

Su Miaoyan took it, and since she was also a little hungry, she went back to her bed and started eating in small bites.

Seeing her eat like a rabbit, Lu Ting couldn't help but smile and put the remaining piece of sesame seed cake into his stomach.

Then he opened the cup next to him and handed over the water.

"It's a bit dry to eat it dry, have some water."

Su Miaoyan raised her head, then lowered it to meet his eyes, and took the water from him.

Looking at the open thermos lid, Su Miaoyan wondered if Lu Ting had drunk from it.

As if he could read people's minds, Lu Ting said, "I haven't drunk it, so you can drink it without worry."

He looked rather unnatural.

The two spoke in very low voices, so that only the other person could hear them.

Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Su Miaoyan swallowed back the "okay" that was about to come out of her mouth.

Suddenly, a thought arose in my mind to tease him.

She said slowly, "It's alright."

A vague and ambiguous sentence stirred up ripples on the clear and calm lake in Lu Ting's heart.

Does she mean it doesn't matter even if he's drunk it?

Lu Ting's face was a little hot, and his hands, hanging awkwardly at his sides, seemed unsure of where to put them.

At that age, full of youthful vigor, and with his beautiful new wife in front of him, Lu Ting's ears turned slightly red.

He didn't even notice when Su Miaoyan finished drinking the water glass she handed him, and hurriedly returned to his bed.

Judging from their backs, they seemed to be fleeing in panic.

Su Miaoyan paused and withdrew her hand.

Tighten the lid and place it on the bedside table.

Her husband... seems a bit...easily flirted with?

He may seem cold and straightforward, but he's actually a clueless young man who's never been in a relationship.

Su Miaoyan took a deep breath and couldn't help but look into the distance.

So... what about the wedding night?

Su Miaoyan buried her head under the covers, and when she peeked out again, she tidied her slightly messy hair.

After going down the stairs, I planned to go to the restroom.

Almost the instant she came down, Lu Ting followed her down as well.

Su Miaoyan asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Lu Ting paused slightly. "I'll follow you."

Su Miaoyan opened the door and went outside. Once outside, she said, "I need to use the restroom."

She used the word "bathroom" very subtly.

As expected, Lu Ting was first taken aback, and then blushed deeply.

But instead of turning away, he said, "I'll wait for you outside."

Since we've already encountered someone like Wang Guifen who seems to be a human trafficker, we're sure we'll encounter a second one.

Even if you don't encounter them, you can't be sure there aren't thieves or hooligans on the bus.

Although the passengers in hard sleeper berths are generally of higher quality, it is clear that there is no guarantee that no one has slipped through the net.

Looking at the slender and beautiful back of the person in front of him, Lu Ting was still not entirely at ease.

Seeing that she was standing still, he turned his back to her.

"Close the door, I'll stay outside and watch over you."

Su Miaoyan felt a warmth in her heart and stopped dawdling.

He nodded. "Okay."

Su Miaoyan closed the door.

A few minutes later, when I came out, I saw the man waiting in the corridor.

She stepped forward and said softly, "Lu Ting, I'm out."

Lu Ting gave a soft "hmm," his gaze fixed on her face.

He was about to say something when, at that moment...

The train attendant walked along the carriage corridor, loudly announcing through a megaphone: "Attention passengers! Train K987 will soon arrive in Gansu Province. Passengers traveling to Xinjiang Province, please prepare to disembark. Please avoid crowding during disembarkation to prevent stampedes."

Please take your belongings with you so you don't forget them when you get off the train. Welcome aboard train K987.

After the attendant finished calling out, she went to the next carriage.

Su Miaoyan said happily, "We're about to transfer in Long Province. Let's go get our luggage."

Her steps seemed lighter, and Lu Ting was stunned for a moment before following her with large strides.

Once inside the carriage, the others were also preparing to get off. The two college students in the lead were together, and when they saw Su Miaoyan arrive, they immediately said goodbye to her with reluctance.

Su Miaoyan smiled and said, "It's alright, we're going to Xinjiang anyway, we might run into each other there."

Knowing that Su Miaoyan is
