Zhou Yang put his hands behind his head and looked over at him with a puzzled look on his face.
"Why can't I be here?"
It was rare for Shu Miao to hear him not speak in a condescending manner, and she was a little uncomfortable at first.
"Uh…that's not what I meant."
That’s right, the train is not hers, so what right does she have to care whether it is there or not?
He quickly looked down at his watch, estimated the time, and suddenly looked up.
"If I remember correctly, we've already passed the provincial capital. Did you miss your stop?"
If nothing unexpected happens, we'll reach her hometown in another four hours. This...
Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and turned sideways to face her, "Are you concerned about me?"
Shu Miao choked, rolled her eyes at him, and simply looked away.
Seeing that she really no longer paid attention to him, Zhou Yang pursed his lips slightly.
After a while, he managed to suppress the depression in his heart and spoke again.
"Hey! I was just teasing you!"
Shu Miao ignored him, took out the book that was pressed under her body and started reading it.
Seeing that she still ignored him, Zhou Yang's already depressed mood instantly plummeted to the bottom, and his eyes instantly became dim.
It wasn't until his eyes caught sight of the small bag at the end of the bed that he regained his spirits.
"Shu Miao! Don't pretend you can't hear me."
"If I hadn't been helping my grandpa deliver something to you, would I have missed my next stop?"
Hearing this, Shu Miao raised his eyebrows.
That’s what she said!
This person is used to being arrogant, how could he change his personality overnight?
The pit of love has been dug long ago, waiting for her!
Lazily looking up at him, she saw him sitting up with a hunched back, bending over with great effort to reach the small bag at the other side of his feet.
Seeing the awkward posture, she couldn't help but straighten her back.
It was not until his head hit the ceiling of the carriage that he leaned back against the quilt to see what tricks he could come up with.
After Zhou Yang got the small bag, he quickly lay down again and handed the bag to her.
Shu Miao glanced at him casually, without even trying to reach out to take it.
"There's a letter for you in there, you really don't want to read it?" He raised his eyebrows and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
Shu Miao frowned subconsciously and was about to refuse, but suddenly remembered that he had sent something to Doctor Wang half a month ago.
I haven't received his reply yet, so I'm a little hesitant.
I stared into his eyes for a moment, but still couldn't tell whether what he said was true or not.
But then she thought that the train was moving, and if this thing really was not given by Doctor Wang, she had plenty of ways to return it, so she reached out to take it without hesitation.
I just didn’t expect that this small package was so small, yet it was quite heavy.
Her initial guess was that it was probably books or something like that.
When I unzipped it, the first thing that caught my eye was indeed a letter.
She was startled and quickly opened the envelope.
I quickly read through the content and found that the ginseng I sent to him was sent back to me after going around in circles. I was so amused that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It is said that ever since she reaped the benefits of Chinese medicinal materials, she has been deliberately collecting medicinal seeds.
This ginseng is one of them.
But because it takes so long to grow, she had long forgotten it in a corner.
Otherwise, when she was receiving the goods this time, she had to clean up the space on a large scale and she didn't think about it.
It just so happened that she was a little worried at that time, not knowing what to give to thank Dr. Wang for the various books he had sent her.
I thought that Doctor Wang had trouble sleeping due to his old age, and ginseng just happened to have the effect of calming the mind and improving intelligence.
He picked out two of the best ginseng roots and dried them, intending to send them to Doctor Wang.
In order to avoid any trouble later, she even went to the pharmacy and had someone test the medicinal value of the medicine.
I was relieved when I learned that these two seven-year-old ginsengs were worth about 70 yuan.
After all, it was such a good thing that it was difficult for her to give it away given her family's financial situation.
What she didn't expect was that the ginseng she sent out went around and turned into medicinal wine and was sent back.
Zhou Yang had been paying attention to her reaction. Seeing her brows relaxed and a smile on her lips, he couldn't help but feel curious.
She stretched her neck unconsciously, wanting to see what her grandfather had given her that made her smile.
Shu Miao put away the letter, glanced at someone who kept peeking at him, and an idea came to his mind.
He immediately took out the tightly wrapped ball-shaped object from the bag and took off the cotton cover under the other person's curious gaze.
After taking a closer look, Zhou Yang's pupils shrank suddenly and he sat up from the bed.
With a dull thud, his head made close contact with the roof of the carriage.
Shu Miao was holding a glass jar in his hand.
There was an unknown colorful snake soaking in it, its vertical pupils staring at Zhou Yang, as if it would come to life at any time.
Shu Miao pressed his lips calmly and pushed the jar forward again.
"Oh, this snake is so beautiful. Do you know what kind of snake it is?"
Zhou Yang rubbed his head in pain, and when he heard the words, he turned his head away and closed his eyes tightly, his voice trembling.
"No, I don't know, just take it away!"
"Really? That's such a pity." She had a smug smile on her face, and her eyes were shining with joy at having managed to win back a game.
As he spoke, his fingertips tapped lightly on the can, reminding him that the things had not been put away.
At this moment, Zhou Yang's mind flashed again and again with the scene of a group of snakes twisting and turning their bodies towards him, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead in an instant.
This scene made Shu Miao stunned. He hesitated and asked, "Are you okay?"
Although she knew that this man was afraid of snakes, she never expected that a dead snake could scare him so much.
