Chapter 29: Waist Support
Yun Qiao burped from eating a large lunch box, but with He Tingjun's concerned expression that said "You are too thin, you need to eat more", Yun Qiao was too embarrassed to say "I can't finish it".
So after she finished eating, her stomach was so full that she sat on the lower bunk and didn't want to move.
He Tingjun was very diligent. After dinner, he took the initiative to wash her empty lunch box. When he came back, he also brought a kettle of hot water and poured her half a cup.
"Thanks."
Eating too much makes you sleepy, but sleeping right after eating is bad for your health, so Yun Qiao walked around in the carriage for a few laps to burn off some energy.
In the afternoon, Yun Qiao climbed up to the upper bunk to take a nap. When she woke up, someone came to the middle bunk that had been empty all morning. It was a young man wearing glasses.
He had just gotten in the car and was chatting with He Tingjun.
Yun Qiao lay there and listened for a while, and learned that this person was visiting relatives in Shenzhou. She had an older sister who married and lived outside the Great Wall, and she hadn't seen her for several years. This time, her sister gave birth, and she happened to come to visit.
But she couldn't listen to any more. She had slept for half the afternoon and felt very uncomfortable. She had to go to the toilet quickly!
It’s actually quite boring on the train, especially at night when the lights are dim and you can’t even read, which makes it even more boring.
After dinner, Yun Qiao did some simple exercises, went to the toilet, and then climbed onto the upper bunk to sleep early.
I had a confused dream all night, but I couldn't remember what I dreamed about.
When I woke up again, it was already the next day.
It was still dark outside the car window, and Yun Qiao didn't know what time it was.
The entire hard sleeper compartment was silent, with only the sound of even breathing. Through the dim light of the night, Yun Qiao saw that the people in the berths across from him were all asleep.
Yun Qiaolai turned over twice, hesitating whether to get up or lie down for a while.
"Wake up, please?" This would undoubtedly disturb the young man sleeping in the middle bunk and He Tingjun in the lower bunk.
But he continued to lie down... Yun Qiao really couldn't lie down any longer.
The upper bunk where she was was small and narrow, and she could touch the top of the carriage with her hand. She slept all night with a sore back and felt uncomfortable all over. She urgently wanted to get up and stretch her muscles.
Just as she was tossing and turning, He Tingjun, who was sleeping in the lower bunk, suddenly stood up. His movements were so quiet that he didn't disturb anyone else at all.
"Yun Qiao, are you awake?"
Yun Qiao hummed and asked him, "Brother He, what time is it now?"
"It's four fifty, about ten minutes to five." He Tingjun asked, "Do you want to get up?"
"want."
"I'll help you."
"good."
He Tingjun took the initiative to stretch out an arm for Yun Qiao to hold.
Yun Qiao put his hand on his arm, and he subconsciously tensed up so that Yun Qiao could easily feel the flexed muscles under his sleeves.
Yun Qiao's face was a little red, but fortunately it was not obvious under the dim light, so there was no need to worry about being seen by others.
She carefully stepped on the iron ladder next to her and moved down little by little.
Yun Qiao breathed a sigh of relief when she was about to reach the last few steps, but at that moment, her foot slipped, and she lost her balance, leaning backward and almost falling.
Fortunately, He Tingjun supported his waist in time, thus avoiding the embarrassing situation of falling.
"careful."
The man came closer, his back pressed against her body, and his deep, mellow, magnetic voice sounded from behind her ear, making her ears feel hot.
The next second, she was grabbed by a pair of large hands around her slender waist and carried down from the iron ladder.
"Are you standing firm?"
Yun Qiao held onto the table and replied, "Stand firm."
