Chapter 12 Late at night, falling asleep on my shoulder
"Damn human traffickers!" Xu Feng cursed fiercely, "Don't worry, I'll immediately arrange for someone to change clothes and keep an eye on her. I'll make sure she can't escape and goes to jail."
Lu Zhanlin nodded, withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked back to his carriage.
Xu Feng was stunned. "Hey, why did you leave? You haven't told me how your arm healed? Where did the doctor come from? And what about that little girl just now? What's your relationship with her? Why did you get so close to her for no reason?"
Watching Lu Zhanlin walk away without looking back, Xu Feng's voice gradually became softer and turned into a sour muttering.
"Tsk tsk, what a different fate for the same person... We're both old soldiers, but why don't any girls like me? I don't know when I'll be able to have a wife and kids and a warm bed..."
…
At night, the lights in the carriage were turned off, leaving only a dim light. The rumbling sound of the train became the best lullaby, and everyone in the carriage was drowsy.
After eating a few steamed buns, Lu Yuanbao's little head drooped and he began to doze off.
Even though he was half asleep, he still held a half-eaten steamed bun in his hand and put a bite into his mouth from time to time.
He was so hungry that he would hold on to the steamed bun even when he was sleeping.
Chu Yue gently patted Lu Yuanbao's face and said softly, "Don't eat anymore. Go to sleep if you're tired. I'll put the steamed buns away and eat them tomorrow."
Lu Yuanbao was very sleepy. He barely managed to open a gap and vaguely recognized Chu Yue's face. He grabbed her hands tightly and separated them, then handed the remaining half of the bun to Chu Yue.
Chu Yue put away the steamed buns and placed her backpack on the ground in front of her.
"Yuanbao, sit on the bag and sleep on my legs. It will be more comfortable this way."
Lu Yuanbao sat on the backpack with his head resting on Chu Yue's knees. Chu Yue took out a thicker coat and covered Lu Yuanbao with it.
The conditions on the train were poor and there were many people. Some people slept sideways under the seats, while others slept standing up holding onto the storage racks. Chu Yue was lucky to have a seat.
In the narrow space, try to make Lu Yuanbao sleep as peacefully and comfortably as possible.
In the invisible dark shadows, Lu Yuanbao's small hands tightly grasped Chu Yue's trouser legs, even more tightly than when he grasped the steamed buns, and he did not let go even when he fell asleep.
After sitting on the train for a long time, even Chu Yue felt sore in her back.
She was free anyway, so she might as well get comfortable in her portable space.
[Portable Space 007 hears the master's call, the system is starting up...]
Chu Yue closed her eyes, and as a colorful white light flashed in her mind, when she opened her eyes again, she was already in the portable space.
There is a whole wilderness where it is spring all year round, there are fertile fields that stretch as far as the eye can see, there are gurgling streams with spiritual spring water, and there are red apples that can be picked with just a stretch of the hand.
The Chuyue operating system first harvests the products from the fertile fields, such as rice, wheat, corn and sorghum. After harvest, they are neatly bagged and placed in the system warehouse. Finally, they are re-sown and seedlings are raised, and a new cycle begins.
Chu Yue doesn’t have to do the farm work in the portable space herself. It is just like playing a farming management game.
This game is a real 3D version, which is more immersive and the rewards are real.
Chu Yue completed all the operations and felt happy and cheerful as she looked at the warehouse which was now filled up a little more.
Finally, she took off her clothes, jumped into the warm water pool of Lingquan Creek, and took a comfortable bath.
The stream water was magical. Not only did it dissipate the fatigue all over the body, but the frostbite and scars on the original owner's body gradually disappeared, and her skin returned to the fair skin of a girl.
Soaking in the hot springs and looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance is so comfortable...
She completely forgot that her real body was still on the crowded train, in the small seat, swaying and tilting to one side as the train rolled.
Lu Zhanlin's right shoulder sank.
He opened his dark eyes and took a look, and in the dim light he saw a peaceful, fair sleeping face.
The two of them were so close that they could clearly see the feathery eyelashes on Yue's face, each one distinct, curled and drooping, lively and well-behaved.
Lu Zhanlin stared silently, lowering his shoulders.
There was a height difference between him and Chu Yue. If he moved a little lower, Chu Yue's petite figure would be more comfortable to snuggle against.
After a while.
Chu Yue seemed to feel the man's thoughtfulness. Not only her head, but also her body leaned sideways, and her cheek rubbed against Lu Zhanlin's coat gently.
In a daze, she found the most comfortable position and then stayed there motionless.
During this period, Lu Zhanlin's body froze several times and he dared not move, for fear of waking Chu Yue up.
Fortunately, Chu Yue was sleeping soundly and never woke up.
The little girl who was cold and arrogant during the day looked so soft when she fell asleep.
Ripples appeared in Lu Zhanlin's heart.
As Chu Yue tilted her body, Lu Yuanbao, who was originally sleeping on her knees, also tilted to one side, and his small body almost fell to the ground.
Lu Zhanlin kept his upper body still, moved cautiously, and reached out to grab Lu Yuanbao.
He easily picked up a child of five or six years old.
Chu Yue's trouser leg was pulled out of Lu Yuanbao's little hand. Lu Yuanbao frowned uneasily. Lu Zhanlin patted the child's back lightly and held him in his arms to comfort him.
Lu Zhanlin owes this child.
He and Lu Yuanbao's mother, who was also his biological sister, were twins, a boy and a girl, and lived together in the womb for nine months.
Lu Zhanlin is a boy and has a better physique. He robbed a lot of nutrition in the womb, so his sister has been weak and sickly since birth and is thinner than the average person.
Later, Lu Zhanlin joined the army, and the allowances and money he sent home every month became the financial pillar of the family.
He thought that this would change the difficult situation at home and allow the whole family, including his sister, to live a good life.
But his parents didn't tell him and sold his sister... to a farmer in the same village.
Later, he never mentioned a word about what his sister had suffered.
Lu Zhanlin had been in the army for ten years and had not been home for ten years. Everything was kept secret from him. It was not until a month ago that he learned that his sister had died tragically, leaving behind an unwanted and helpless child.
Lu Zhanlin was furious and regretful, but what had happened could not be undone.
He submitted a report and completed the adoption procedures, registered Lu Yuanbao under his name, and decided to take the child to the army to take care of him personally.
Although they have never met, this child will be his biological son in the future.
Perhaps because of the blood relationship, Lu Yuanbao moved restlessly for a few times in Lu Zhanlin's arms, but soon calmed down and continued to sleep.
Lu Zhanlin's arms and shoulders felt heavy.
He slowly closed his eyes.
…
The next morning, the sky was gray.
The conductor walked through the carriages, shouting at the top of his lungs to wake up the sleeping passengers.
"We've arrived! We've arrived! The train will stop in ten minutes! Everyone, wake up! We've arrived!"
Chu Yue woke up to the sound of shouting, feeling sleepy and confused. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was on duty in the hospital or in the 1970s. As she was in a daze, a black men's windbreaker came into her eyes.
He woke up instantly and sat up straight.
She looked at the windbreaker covering her body, then at the shoulder of the man beside her, and subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth.
Fortunately, my face was dry and there were no unknown marks.
"Don't worry, you were very quiet when you slept and didn't drool."
What you fear will come true!
Listening to the man's pleasant and smiling voice beside her, Chu Yue frowned in annoyance.
She had to raise her face, suppress her embarrassment, and pretend to be calm, "I'm sorry for pressing on your shoulder."
The previous apology is not over yet.
Chu Yue then saw Lu Yuanbao sleeping soundly in Lu Zhanlin's arms.
Her forced calm expression began to crack, her eyes trembled nervously, her cheeks bore the marks of having just woken up, and there was a hint of shy blush.
