The announcement of the arrival time came over the loudspeaker. Lu Zhixia stood up and was about to grab her bag when he beat her to it, so she simply followed him to the ticket check area.
They soon arrived at the platform. The sleeper cars were at the back, so they kept walking forward.
They only stopped when they had left a considerable distance behind the crowd in front of them.
There weren't many people waiting for sleeper berths; including them, there were only seven or eight people.
This was Lu Zhixia's first time taking such a long train ride, and everything was quite novel to her.
After boarding the train, I found my seat according to the number on my ticket stub. I discovered that the lower bunk opposite me was empty, while the upper bunk was already occupied.
Lu Zhixia put the bag on the ground, turned to Gu Lingxiao and said, "Okay, go find your seat."
Gu Lingxiao looked at the lower bunk opposite him, lost in thought. If we could switch with the person opposite us, the journey would be much more convenient.
Just then, I saw someone put their bag on the sleeper berth, and their face looked somewhat familiar.
"Captain Gu?" Fu Yanlin said in surprise, casually putting his bag on the ground.
"Director Fu?" Gu Lingxiao asked uncertainly. They had worked together before, but several years had passed. He only remembered the other party's surname, and didn't know his full name.
"Yes, it's me! You still remember me, that's great!" Fu Yanlin said with a smile. "We haven't seen each other for years, but you haven't changed much."
"Wait a minute, is this your sleeper berth?" Gu Lingxiao asked.
Fu Yanlin nodded. "That's right, I bought the tickets in advance. Why?"
He looked to the side and saw a young woman sitting in the opposite sleeper berth, who looked to be in her early twenties.
"Let's switch seats," Gu Lingxiao said, handing him the ticket. "Do me a favor."
Fu Yanlin suddenly realized, slapped his head and said, "You went out with your sister-in-law. It's my fault for not thinking straight. I'll switch seats with you!"
Not wanting to be misunderstood, Lu Zhixia said, "You're mistaken, I'm not his wife!"
"Oh, oh, oh! I'm sorry, I misunderstood." Fu Yanlin said this, but his mind was already full of gossip.
Gu Lingxiao gives the impression of being indifferent to women, and of course, he is also indifferent to men. He is a born king of soldiers, and he deserves to be in this line of work. He is meticulous when carrying out missions.
Charging into battle without hesitation, simply put, risking one's life!
He witnessed it with his own eyes; two criminals died at his hands, and he didn't even blink.
He pulled the tickets out of his pocket and handed them to them. "Wait, I want Southern Metropolis Daily. It doesn't seem right for us to exchange tickets like this, does it?"
"What a coincidence, I'm sitting there too." Gu Lingxiao took the ticket from his hand, then patted him on the shoulder. "Thanks, brother, it's just in time to run into you."
Fu Yanlin said with a smile, "Since you've said that, treat me to a meal later, a nice meal. We can chat while we're at it."
Gu Lingxiao sat down calmly. "Okay, I'll call you when I get hungry."
"Then I'll go back to my sleeper berth to rest." Fu Yanlin picked up his bag from the ground and left; he didn't want to be a third wheel any longer.
It's true that they haven't seen each other for a long time. They have things to say, but not much. They can get together for a meal.
After the person left, Lu Zhixia finally spoke up, "Was that person also from the law enforcement team?"
Gu Lingxiao: "Yes, when I met him he was the director. I don't know what position he holds now. He was working there as a temporary measure. He was a very hard worker."
Lu Zhixia knew that such people usually had connections; they would suffer at the grassroots level for two years, and then go back and rise rapidly through the ranks.
"But we were lucky enough to run into someone we knew and we managed to switch seats on our train tickets, so now I can sleep peacefully."
"So you were still worried. Why didn't you say so before?"
"I know there are only two lower berth tickets left, and the upper berth tickets are all sold out, so we can only sit separately. What else can we do!"
Looking at the woman's stubborn and mischievous demeanor, Gu Lingxiao's affection for her deepened. The train began to move, initially slowly, then gradually accelerating.
Lu Zhixia wanted to pour water into the cup, but found that the kettle was empty.
"I'll go fetch water," Gu Lingxiao said.
Lu Zhixia then thought that the kettle might not be clean, and said, "I think we should use our own kettle to store water."
Gu Lingxiao instantly understood what she meant, so he reached out and picked up her water bottle.
"I'll go fetch water."
Lu Zhixia took two apples out of the bag. "Wash these too."
Gu Lingxiao took the apple, a secret delight at being bossed around, which made him happy, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Lu Zhixia watched him leave with a big smile on his face, then raised her hand to touch her head, took out a mirror from her bag, and looked at herself carefully. There was nothing funny about her face, so why was he smiling so happily?
