Chapter 29: The Happy Give In

Gao Ruoyun staggered when she was pulled by her, and after she regained her balance, she was still confused: "Are we leaving now? Not going fishing with us?"

Her eyes were sparkling, showing her eagerness to try.

"You?" Ruan Anan sneered, and quickly wrapped the headscarf tightly again, pulling Gao Ruoyun to the bench in the most inconspicuous corner of the waiting room.

"Fishing? Don't let anyone else eat you as bait before you catch any fish!"

She lowered her voice and said with unquestionable decisiveness: "The public security comrades have their own rules. If we two get involved, we will only cause trouble and make things worse!"

Seeing Gao Ruoyun still unconvinced, she added, lowering her voice even more, "Do you think those people are vegetarians? What if we show our faces and get targeted, and then come back to seek revenge on us? What will we do?"

"Ah?!" Gao Ruoyun shuddered at the ruthlessness in her words. She subconsciously glanced left and right, and frantically pulled up the collar of her coat, wishing she could bury her entire chin in her turtleneck sweater. Her voice trembled, "Is it...really that dangerous?"

"What else? Listen to me, don't get involved in things that shouldn't happen, or you'll get into trouble!"

Ruan Anan's words were like a needle, piercing Gao Ruoyun's self-righteous heroic spirit.

Yes, how could she, an unarmed girl who had just turned eighteen, fight against three burly opium dealers?

Forget about arresting anyone, it would be a blessing if the innocent people watching nearby don’t get hurt!

The more she thought about it, the more discouraged she became. Her head drooped, her shoulders slumped, and she looked like a frost-bitten eggplant.

Ruan Anan did not continue to comfort her, but turned his face away indifferently, looking at her nose with his eyes and her heart with his nose.

The waiting room of the train station is crowded with people, and their thoughts and opinions are even more chaotic.

Does anyone know if those three bald guys have any accomplices among them?

Ultimately, the problem lies with the security team—

If they had paid more attention, they should have held down those three fat guys long ago!

It was very kind of her, Ruan Anan, to teach them how to catch people.

As for Gao Ruoyun, her temper comes and goes quickly.

By the time she and Ruan Anan successfully found someone to get on the soft sleeper car, the feeling of being suffocated had been completely forgotten.

She excitedly spun in circles in the aisle on the thick wool carpet.

"Wow! Isn't this too comfortable?"

"Comrade Ruan, you're so capable! We can sleep on the sofa tonight!"

Ruan Anan accepted her compliments calmly, sat down at the end of the carriage, and casually took out a blanket.

Although we are heading south, it is winter after all.

A blanket can keep out most of the cold.

She looked around the carriage, its wood-veneered walls, velvet curtains, and thick carpet on the floor.

This specification is not suitable for ordinary people to sit in.

That red-armband leader was willing to issue a note, how could he admit defeat? It was clearly trying to use this soft sleeper to silence them!

I was afraid that when they were questioned by the police, they would expose the negligence of the Public Security Department.

Ruan Anan knew what was going on and didn't bother to care about it.

People always seek benefits and avoid harm.

As long as the Public Security Department fixes the hole, she would have no problem accepting this "favor."

Gao Ruoyun's excitement wore off, and she sat down opposite Ruan Anan, taking things out of her bulging bag as if she were presenting a treasure.

"Comrade Ruan, although you're a bit timid, you're not a bad person! These are all for you to eat!"

Ruan Anan paused while peeling a tea egg, looked up at her with a half-smile, "I'm timid? I'm afraid of things?"

She took a slow bite of egg white. "I think you're out of your mind, aren't you? Do you know how ruthless those opium dealers would be if they retaliated?"

"So what? The worst that can happen is death!"

Gao Ruoyun said with a righteous tone, "I still think we should participate in the fishing operation."

"What a great thing this is!"

"It's enough for my grandpa and uncle to brag about for the rest of their lives!"

Ruan Anan sneered, "Death? Death is the easiest thing in the world."

"If they get their hands on you, they can dig your eyes out."

"Use a small blade to slice off your flesh, piece by piece, like roast duck..."

"Finally, I'll pluck out all the hair on your body, and then..."

She leaned closer and uttered two words, "Insert, pig, hair!"

Gao Ruoyun was so scared that she hugged herself tightly.

Everything else is fine, but inserting pig hair really broke her defenses!

Ruan Anan took a bite of the egg and said seriously, "Are you scared already?!"

This girl, you can tell at first glance, comes from a good family. She has a kind of pride and innocence that comes from being too well protected, and she has no idea how dangerous the world is.

Ruan Anan rolled her eyes and started to tease him.

She reached into her bag, pulled out a thick English-Chinese dictionary, and casually stuffed it into Gao Ruoyun's arms: "Here, take it!"

"Oh my god!" Gao Ruoyun felt like her hand was burned. She almost threw the dictionary away and frantically hid it in her coat. She looked around nervously, her voice changing tone, "Are you crazy, Ruan Anan?! This... this... this is... a deadly thing!"

"I'll help you find something to do!" Ruan Anan shook her finger, looking like she was doing this for your own good. "So you don't get bored and just think about random things. Study more when you have time, so you won't be caught off guard when the college entrance exam is resumed in the future!"

Gao Ruoyun's attention was indeed diverted. She blinked her big eyes with a bit of disbelief and hope.

"You...you also think the college entrance examination can be resumed?"

"Yeah, sure!"

Ruan Anan calculated that the college entrance examination would be resumed in five years.

Gao Ruoyun stroked the dictionary in her arms, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes, "I hope so."

For female educated youth like them, one or two years doesn't matter, but five or eight years is really a waste of youth.

Is there anyone who can truly stick to their original intention and keep finding opportunities to review for five years?

Ruan Anan naturally wouldn't give Gao Ruoyun any inspirational soul-stirring speeches, because that would be a typical example of talking without any pain.

She stuffed the dictionary into Gao Ruoyun's hand simply because she thought she was too noisy and disturbed her sleep.

In fact, the college entrance examination has little to do with Ruan Anan, because the original owner had already obtained a bachelor's degree when he returned from studying abroad.

But she also wanted to make a change by taking the college entrance examination.

For example, go to a university to teach in the finance department.

What a great identity this is, it's legitimate and can naturally turn those little yellow goldfish in the space into spendable money.

As a finance teacher, it's only natural for you to know something about investment and financial management. You don't have to show up in public and take risks like a real financial broker.

It’s simply “money laundering”… Oh no, it’s the best choice to rationalize assets!

Gao Ruoyun got the dictionary and the vague but extremely tempting idea of ​​"restoring the college entrance examination", and she really calmed down.

The only sound in the carriage was the clanging of the train.

Just when Ruan Anan was drowsy, she suddenly heard a low cough in the carriage.

It's a woman's cough!

Gao Ruoyun was petrified on the spot, and Ruan Anan was so scared that a chill ran down her spine.

Is there anyone else in the car?

Then, didn’t someone hear what they just said?

Oh my God!

Now is the time when the "Three Strikes and One Opposition" campaign is being carried out most strictly.

They privately discussed resuming the college entrance examination and even read foreign dictionaries.

If this gets out, posting big-character posters, criticizing and parading people through the streets would be the least of their problems!
