He Wan's face instantly showed some embarrassment, but it was not too obvious. She was afraid that Zhou Ting'an would think too much. She actually had other things to do and couldn't tell him. She quickly found an excuse and said, "I'm actually on the noon bus, but I haven't bought the ticket yet."
Zhou Ting'an looked at his watch and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. He said hurriedly, "The mall is not far from the train station. I'll take you there."
He then dragged her to the parking area behind the mall. He actually drove a military vehicle. “Isn’t this inappropriate?”
"Don't worry. We came out today to do some work and buy some things for some comrades. We drove two cars."
He Wan said "oh" and sat in the passenger seat.
I have to say, driving is really fast. It only takes ten minutes to get from the shopping mall to the train station.
In order to avoid arousing Zhou Ting'an's suspicion, He Wan quickly ran to the lobby to check the route of the train.
When Zhou Ting'an came over, he pointed to the nearest lane and said, "I'm going to Panjin this afternoon, and I'm taking this bus."
Zhou Ting'an saw that the train would leave in half an hour, so he quickly bought a ticket for He Wan.
Then he took out a wad of money and some bills from his pocket and gave them all to He Wan without even counting them: "Take this money. I don't have any vacation recently, so I can't come to see you. I'll try to find some vacation time during the Chinese New Year to come and see you."
He Wan saw several whole bills and pushed them over: "Brother Ting'an, I have money. I get subsidies on weekdays, and there are also public funds in the village. I am not short of money at all."
Zhou Ting'an did not refute, but said: "I know, you don't lack these." Fearing that she would worry, he took out a few coins from his pocket and said: "I still have some. I usually get a lot of allowances, and I don't spend much money on food and drink in the army. Now that I have a sister, I naturally have to take good care of you. Don't be frugal with your brother. If you encounter any problems in the village, don't bear it alone. Remember that you have relatives now."
He Wan felt like crying after hearing Zhou Ting'an's words. Her eyes suddenly felt sore. She forced herself to nod at him, "Okay, I understand, Brother Ting'an."
If it was just a spur of the moment before, now she truly felt it. It really made a difference to have a brother to take care of her. "Do you have pockets inside your clothes? Hide your money. Be careful on the bus. Don't eat anything given by others. If you get hungry on the way, don't ask the crew to buy hot meals just to save on eating cold food."
He Wan listened to Zhou Ting'an's words and was somewhat indulged in his simple and profound smile and gentle and meticulous care. Suddenly, she wondered for a moment, why wasn't she in the countryside in Chuncheng?
Even when they got in the car, Zhou Ting'an was still giving her instructions through the window with concern.
He Wan waved at him and said, "Brother Ting'an, you must come to see me when you are on vacation."
"Okay. Remember to call me when you get to where you are, or you can write me."
"I know, go back now."
While saying goodbye to him, He Wan was feeling anxious because she couldn't go down now. It would take more than an hour to get from Chuncheng to Panjin.
It's almost twelve o'clock now, and it's obvious that her transaction with Ma Wei will be delayed, so she has to find a way.
After the train left the station, He Wan hurried to the toilet.
I looked around from the toilet window, but didn't see anyone sticking out of the window.
He made up his mind, closed his eyes, and jumped down. When he was about to land, he used his mind to flash into the space, found two thick clothes, one to wrap his head and the other to wear on his body, then left the space and fell straight to the ground.
Fortunately, with the help of space, I didn’t feel much pain. After rolling a few times, I landed safely.
