Chapter 013 Still an Unmarried Girl

After breakfast, the family carried their luggage and went to the train station.

Here, Wei Mingyu had also arrived. She had prepared two packages for the young couple, so even though Lu Jiansen only had one bag, with Gu Xiaoxi's luggage and the big bag of food prepared by his mother-in-law, they still had a lot of things.

Gu Yimin helped his daughter and son-in-law carry the things to the train and gave them a few more instructions before reluctantly getting off the train.

The train slowly drove away. Gu Xiaoxi looked at the people going away outside the window and couldn't help but wipe away her tears quietly.

In her previous two lives, when she went to the countryside, her parents sent her off in the same way.

The only difference is that this time, there is a man by her side, and her life takes a different direction.

Lu Jiansen felt so distressed when he saw the girl crying silently beside him.

He gently touched her head and said, "We'll come back to see them when we have time!"

Gu Xiaoxi looked up at him and nodded slightly.

In her previous two lives, she passed away early and was not able to provide for her parents until their end. In this life, she will take good care of herself, live a good life, and live well!

After calming down, she looked around.

They were sitting in a hard sleeper carriage, and there were far fewer people on board than in an ordinary carriage. In addition to her and Lu Jiansen, there was an old man wearing glasses half-lying down in the middle bunk on the left, reading a newspaper.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi looking up, the old man put down the newspaper and greeted her with a smile: "Little girl, this is your first time away from home! It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable. If you miss home, write home often."

Facing the old man's kindness and enthusiasm, Gu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, "Yes. I will. Where are you going?"

The old man smiled and said, "To Qingbei City, where are you going?"

Gu Xiaoxi was immediately happy, "We are also at the foot of Qingbei City!"

"Then we can travel together for three days and two nights." The old man's tone was also quite happy.

This little girl looks very smart, with clear eyes, and she looks like a good child.

Gu Xiaoxi thought about it, then reached out and took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from the bag beside him and handed them to the old man.

"Grandpa, please have some wedding candy. I just got married yesterday."

The old man was stunned for a moment, glanced at the officer who was packing his luggage beside her, then smiled and took the candy from the little girl's hand.

"Thank you! Then Grandpa will also give you a small gift!"

As he spoke, the old man took out a small sachet from a black bag beside his pillow and handed it to her.

"It contains calming incense. If you feel uncomfortable in a new place, put it under your pillow. It will ensure you sleep well!"

Gu Xiaoxi took it and smelled it. The elegant and soothing scent made her feel extremely comfortable. She quickly thanked him.

"Thank you!"

Lu Jiansen also raised his head, stood up straight and said thank you to the old man: "Thank you!"

The old man smiled and shook his head, "You're welcome. I just like this little girl. From the looks of her, is she going to follow you to join the army?"

Lu Jiansen nodded slightly, "Yes."

The old man nodded and asked no more questions.

Gu Xiaoxi saw that both of their tickets were for the lower bunk, so he said to the old man, "Do you want to sleep in the lower bunk? We'll switch with you."

The old man smiled and shook his head. "No, it's quieter up there. The big black bag under your feet is mine. When there are many people around, just help me watch over the bag."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Okay!"

There was no entertainment on the train, and after sitting for a while, she felt bored.

Lu Jiansen said softly: "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Gu Xiaoxi shook her head. "Weren't you in the kitchen with my parents cooking last night? Go to sleep! I'll watch over the luggage."

Lu Jiansen rubbed her head and said, "I'm not sleepy. Do you want to read a newspaper? Or eat something?"

If you don't want to sleep, reading newspapers or eating can also be a way to pass the time.

Gu Xiaoxi didn't want to read the newspaper or eat, and after struggling for a while, she chose to sleep.

She got up early in the morning because she was still a little sleep-deprived.

With Lu Jiansen by her side, she felt at ease, so she put the sachet that the old man had just given her under her pillow and went to sleep.

This time, she slept surprisingly well!

When she woke up, it was already 1:30 in the afternoon.

At this moment, there were a lot more people on the bus. The old man in the middle seat on the left was sitting in Lu Jiansen's seat eating a bun.

Sitting next to the old man was a tall and thin young man and a girl in a floral dress.

However, Lu Jiansen was not in the carriage.

Seeing her wake up, the old man smiled and said, "Little girl, you're awake! Comrade Xiao Lu went to get some hot water and will be back soon."

"Yeah." Gu Xiaoxi smiled embarrassedly, scratched her hair twice with her hands, got out of bed and moved her limbs.

A man and a woman opposite were staring at her. The man's eyes flashed with surprise, while the woman bit her lip and frowned.

Gu Xiaoxi felt the resentful gaze, but didn't care and casually tidied up her slightly messy hair.

At this moment, the radio on the train hissed twice and made a sound.

"Dear passengers, we are now broadcasting a call for a doctor. A passenger in Carriage 8 has suddenly fainted and needs a doctor urgently. Please ask medical workers to go to Carriage 8..."

"Dear passengers, we are now broadcasting a call for a doctor..."

While Gu Xiaoxi was listening, the old man who had given her the sachet had put down the remaining buns in his hand, took out a small box with the hospital cross logo from his big black bag, and trotted towards carriage number eight.

Gu Xiaoxi was a little surprised. It turned out that the old man was a doctor?

The young man sitting opposite couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out that old man is actually an old doctor!"

The girl in the dress next to him pouted and said, "People with diseases are running around everywhere. It's just causing trouble to the society! If there is no doctor on the bus, won't they just wait to die?"

Gu Xiaoxi blinked, sat quietly and did not express any opinion.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi sitting there beautifully, like a painting, the girl couldn't help but ask, "Hey, was your marriage to that military officer arranged by your family? You look quite young."

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes slightly. How did this woman know that she was married?

What happened while she was asleep?

Although she was doubtful, she smiled and said something when she saw that the woman looked down on arranged marriages and seemed to wish that she and Lu Jiansen were an arranged marriage.

"It wasn't an arranged marriage. We fell in love at first sight. You look quite old, so you should be married, right? How old is your child?"

The girl's face was distorted after being shocked.

She couldn't believe it. This woman actually asked her how old her child was.

She is obviously still a virgin, okay?

She originally wanted to reason with Gu Xiaoxi, but out of the corner of her eye she saw a handsome and majestic army-green figure.

Her expression changed, and she suddenly covered her face, her eyes red with grievance.

"How can you make up such rumors? I'm still an unmarried girl, how can I have a child?"
