Lin Wanxia didn't have time to speak.
The girl next to him answered lively: "Yes, winter vacation is over, I'm going back to the provincial capital to go to university."
The man was amazed when he heard this: "So you're a college student! That's amazing."
He looked at Lin Wanxia again, looked her up and down and asked, "Is this older sister also a college student?"
Lin Wanxia felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and replied casually: "I'm not, I'm going to visit relatives."
"Oh..." the man continued, "Will your relatives pick you up at the station?"
Why would a stranger be so demanding?
Lin Wanxia thought about Qu Manman's words and suddenly became alert. She replied, "Yes, my cousin is here to pick me up at the station."
"Then you two are really close relatives."
After hearing this, the man obviously lost some interest in Lin Wanxia.
He turned around and asked the girl next to him: "College girl, why are you going to school alone? Why aren't you with your classmates?"
The girl was completely defenseless: "I was originally going with a classmate, but she had something urgent to do, so I left on my own."
Man: "Is your university not far from the station?"
Girl: "Yeah, it's only a few bus stops away."
When he heard that the other party wanted to take the bus, the man seemed more interested: "I heard that you college students can get half price on the train with your student ID. Is it half price on the bus too?"
Girl: "No, the half-fare bus fares are for students under 18. We college students are over the age limit."
Man: "I really envy you, you're still young, a college student, a child of destiny..."
As the two were talking, the little boy finished eating an orange and reached for the biscuits on the table.
Seeing this, the old woman next to him slapped the back of the boy's hand and said, "Eat, eat, eat! It's not enough to eat so much! All you do is eat all day long."
After the crisp sound, the little boy immediately withdrew his hand. He didn't even dare to cry, and lowered his head in fear.
Lin Wanxia felt strange. Didn’t the other party just say that the little boy was her only grandson and had been hungry for a whole day and night?
Why doesn’t she let me eat anymore after I’ve only eaten a bun and an orange?
Still fighting so fiercely?
Perhaps sensing Lin Wanxia's suspicious gaze, the old man immediately explained, "I was just a little anxious."
"Don't get me wrong, this child has had a bad stomach since he was young. He gets diarrhea if he eats too much."
"Taking the train isn't very convenient, is it? I didn't let him eat too much because I was afraid he'd get a stomachache."
This explanation barely made sense, and Lin Wanxia subconsciously looked at the little boy twice more.
The child's face was pale and his whole body was trembling slightly.
He lowered his head and bit his lips tightly, but his eyes never left the food on the table.
He licked his lips from time to time, obviously still craving for food.
Abnormal——
Lin Wanxia immediately thought to herself: This situation is not normal. An elderly person who truly loves their child will never withhold food from their child after the child has been hungry for a day and a night.
They only worry about whether their children have enough to eat, and never think about the inconvenience of being on top of the train?
When the female college student saw the child being beaten, she immediately gave him some candy out of kindness: "It's okay, eating candy doesn't fill your stomach. Sister is giving you candy, please eat it quickly."
The little boy took the candy, just like he had taken the buns from Lin Wanxia before.
He immediately tore open the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth impatiently, as if he had not eaten properly for a long time and was very hungry.
"You just eat. You eat so fast, and you're not afraid of choking."
The old woman reached out and snatched the remaining candy from the boy's hand. She looked at the college student and smiled, "Girl, you are such a good person. No wonder people say college students are the best. Not only are they well-educated, but they are also kind and sensible."
"Grandma, you are really good at praising people."
"You're the one who praised me, but why didn't you praise others?"
After saying that, the old man glanced at Lin Wanxia before continuing to ask the college student: "What's your name, girl? Are you from Huaicheng? What does your family do?"
As soon as Lin Wanxia heard the word "sensible", she felt uncomfortable.
Now seeing that the other party asked so many questions, thinking about Qu Manman's previous instructions,
Lin Wanxia couldn't help but pull the female college student's scarf and whispered in her ear: "Be careful when you go out. Don't reply so much to those who are not relatives or friends."
"Thank you for your concern, sister." The female college student shrugged, "They are all old, weak, and sick. There is nothing to worry about."
After that, she shouted back, "Grandma, my name is Xu Weihong. My parents work in Huaicheng. Where are you from?"
Seeing that Xu Weihong refused to listen, Lin Wanxia didn't want to get involved in their affairs anymore.
She sat down quietly and took out a book to read to pass the time.
Seeing this, the lame man asked her again: "Sister, are you also a scholar?"
Lin Wanxia didn't want to pay any more attention to them and responded directly: "Sorry, I don't like talking to strangers."
The man's face immediately turned cold when he heard this: "Big sister, this habit is not good. I haven't offended you, why can't I say a few words?"
Lin Wanxia ignored him and continued reading.
The man felt embarrassed and turned around to chat with Xu Weihong again: "Ms. Xu is a good person, well-educated, and kind."
Xu Weihong: "Hey, everyone has a different personality..."
In the following time, Lin Wanxia heard them talking about everything from the south to the north, from astronomy to geography.
By the time the train was about to arrive in the provincial capital, the three of them were already chatting intimately and becoming as familiar as a family.
The old man kept calling Wei Hong "good daughter", and the lame man kept shouting "Sister Wei Hong——".
