Ji Wanmei, naturally beautiful and graceful, was the factory director's daughter. At eighteen, she was admitted to the provincial university. With her braids and floral skirt, her waist swaying...
Chapter 310
It was a fleeting kiss, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Yet it seemed to bring them more profound feelings than any kiss they had ever shared before.
Lei Tingjun could feel that at this moment, Ji Wanmei loved him wholeheartedly, and her heart and eyes were filled with him.
That kind of certainty, certainty, and unwavering emotion moved Lei Tingjun deeply.
Ji Wanmei could also feel Lei Tingjun's deep affection for her at this moment.
His embrace, his arms, his eyes—she was all he saw.
When he saw the beautiful sunrise, the first thing he thought of was to share it with her.
This desire to share everything, in any situation, is perhaps the deepest expression of one person's love for another.
This means he is willing to share himself with his loved one at all times.
The atmosphere between them wasn't exactly romantic, but it was warm and cozy as they quietly nestled together, watching the eastern sun gradually become brighter and more radiant.
At dawn, the passengers and train staff on the train began to wake up and start their day.
The sounds of children crying, strollers creaking, and people talking rose and fell.
The hustle and bustle of train travel has returned.
Seeing that the two passengers in the opposite sleeper berth also seemed to be waking up, Ji Wanmei sat up from Lei Tingjun's arms, picked up her drinking water and took a sip.
"I bet you didn't sleep a wink last night. It's already dawn, you should at least get some sleep," Ji Wanmei said to Lei Tingjun.
"The train won't arrive until noon, and we'll have a lot to do when it does. You can't manage without getting some rest."
Lei Tingjun wasn't sleepy, but his neck was a bit stiff after leaning against something all night.
He raised his hand and pinched his back, his spine tilting to the left and right, making a cracking sound as his spine twisted.
A deep, husky voice came from his throat: "Okay, I'll lie down for a while. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay, go to sleep, I'm watching you." Ji Wanmei pulled off her small blanket and let him cover himself with it.
After a while, Ji Wanmei went to the bathroom again, washed her face briefly, and used the toilet.
Lei Tingjun hadn't fallen asleep yet; he only closed his eyes when he saw Ji Wanmei return.
The next stop arrived quickly, and some passengers got off the train.
This train will stop at the station for almost ten minutes, and since it happens to be around 7 a.m., some local farmers will come in to sell breakfast.
In those days, security checks weren't as strict.
The farmers who come to the platform to sell local specialties and breakfast fruits are all villagers from nearby. They carry their loads for miles to sell to these few passing trains and earn a little money for their hard work.
Ji Wanmei sat by the window and saw an old woman selling freshly made egg pancakes and soy milk, both of which looked hot.
The old lady carried her wares along the way, calling out, "Freshly cooked egg pancakes, homemade soy milk with white sugar, five cents a serving, five cents a serving!"
There were quite a few passengers on the sleeper side, handing out change to buy breakfast.
Ji Wanmei glanced at Lei Tingjun, who was sleeping with rhinitis, and took out a coin, handing it out the window: "Auntie, give me two servings."
The egg pancakes and soy milk were both packaged in small plastic bags. The soy milk was still warm, tied in a long, thin plastic bag, but it was a bit difficult to handle, and it was easy to spill.
When Ji Wanmei was buying breakfast, she glanced at the person across the street. She originally wanted to buy an extra one so that the middle-aged passenger across the street could eat with her.
But then I thought about it again. When you're out and about, you shouldn't flaunt your wealth, especially since we're complete strangers. There's no need for that.
Besides, the other party didn't seem like someone who needed those five cents.
Sure enough, after Ji Wanmei bought breakfast for her and Lei Tingjun, the two customers opposite her also bought something they wanted from the farmers picking out breakfasts on the platform.
Regardless of whether the food tastes good or not, the portions and prices of the food made by the villagers themselves are more affordable and practical than what you get on the train.
Lei Tingjun was sleeping, so Ji Wanmei didn't disturb him. She ate half an egg pancake with the warm soy milk and left the other half for him.
I'll eat it after I wake up from my nap.
Lei Tingjun slept until almost 11 a.m.
Ji Wanmei didn't wake him; he woke up on his own.
Although he only slept for four hours, Lei Tingjun's spirits had already recovered.
When he sat up, he was full of energy and his eyes were bright.
Seeing that he was awake, Ji Wanmei touched the egg pancake and soy milk and said, "I bought these from a villager at the platform. They tasted pretty good, but they're a bit cold now. Should we eat them now or wait until we get off the train?"
Lei Tingjun took it without saying a word, "Just eat it."
He eats quickly and isn't picky about food; he can finish a slightly cold egg pancake in just a few bites.
After finishing eating, they found that there was still half left in the bag, and knew that Ji Wanmei hadn't finished it.
He looked up at Ji Wanmei disapprovingly: "How come you can't even finish a pancake?"
Lei Tingjun thought that Ji Wanmei was worried that he wouldn't have enough to eat, so she deliberately left some for him.
Ji Wanmei said, "The soy milk is delicious, I've finished it all."
"Do you still want some?" Lei Tingjun handed over the soy milk in his hand.
Ji Wanmei shook her head: "I'm not drinking anymore, we're getting off the bus soon."
Lei Tingjun tilted his head back and gulped down the bag of soy milk, managing to eat until he was about six or seven tenths full.
The train's announcement system had already begun reminding passengers that the next station was Guangzhou Station.
