Chapter 160 Mint Candy
There is less evening entertainment now, and at nine o'clock, half of the lights in the carriage are turned off again.
But even so, it's brighter than lighting a candle.
Most people quieted down and began to doze off.
Chu Hong also yawned, listened to the sound of playing cards not far away, closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat, ready to take a nap.
Wu Xiaoming felt that the time had come: "Let's wait a little longer before going to sleep. We will be arriving at the station soon, and we will be woken up even if we are asleep."
Then he said considerately: "You two ladies can sleep on the table."
After that, he took out a handful of candies from his briefcase and placed them on the small table in the middle: "Someone gave me these mints. They taste very refreshing. You're welcome to share them with me."
After saying that, he took one, peeled off the candy wrapper and started eating.
If it were before, He Wen would definitely feel embarrassed to ask others for things, but during these three hours, everyone had become familiar with each other.
Previously, she also treated everyone to fried dough twists, and Chu Hong also treated everyone to eggs.
Besides, Comrade Wu was so enthusiastic that He Wen felt embarrassed to refuse him, so she took one and started eating.
Then he looked at Comrade Wu in some confusion: This candy doesn't taste right, it doesn't have a strong mint flavor.
But it's still sweet, just mixed with a bit of bitterness.
Also, it melted too quickly, and I didn't bite it, so within two minutes all the sugar melted in my mouth.
She suspected that the candy had been stored for too long and had gone bad.
But nowadays people cherish material things, so she didn't spit it out.
Nowadays, hard candies are rarely sealed. Most of them are wrapped in candy paper with a twisted package at both ends.
Chu Hong also took a candy. She didn’t like mint candy, but she was too affectionate to refuse it.
But when she got the candy, she found something unusual, as if it had been opened and was wrapped very ugly.
What’s more important is that the inside is not dry. Instead, it’s like a hot day and the outer layer has melted.
Of course, this may also be because people are reluctant to eat it and it has been left for too long.
But when Chu Hong looked at Wu Xiaoming, she found that he was staring at He Wen eagerly.
As if he noticed her gaze, he looked at her again.
Chu Hong subconsciously peeled off the candy and placed the candy wrapper on the small table. She seemed to be putting the candy into her mouth, but in fact she was still holding it in her palm.
She even said vaguely, "Mints are really delicious and refreshing."
After saying that, he peeled another one and handed it to Gu Ci's mouth, but it was still a fake move.
Of course, the light was very dim now, and Wu Xiaoming couldn’t see clearly that they were pretending to eat. He felt relieved and couldn’t help but smile smugly.
Chu Hong's eyes were particularly bright, and the light was not bright enough for her to see the facial features and expressions of the person opposite her.
But she could see the expression on his face very clearly, and for some reason her hair stood on end and she felt terrified.
When Gu Ci saw her feeding him candy, he was a little flattered, but he didn't expect that he was just eating air.
His first reaction was that Chu Hong was joking with him, and he couldn't help but smile. When he wanted to say something, he felt her twisting his thigh again.
Chu Hong was afraid that he would say something he shouldn't, such as: Give me some candy?
She leaned against Gu Ci and spoke in a pretentious and low voice: "It's so dark outside, I'm scared, come with me to the toilet."
Gu Ci never thought that his wife was afraid of the dark, especially this weak and helpless tone, which made him shiver all over. He almost strangled her neck and asked: Who is this monster who dares to pretend to be my wife?
Fortunately, he still stood up and helped Chu Hong leave while greeting Wu Xiaoming: "Comrade Wu, please take care of our luggage for us."
Wu Xiaoming was also very nervous, worried that they would dawdle and not come back for a long time, and would faint outside due to the effect of the medicine.
It would be bad if the conductor found out and found out something.
After all, no one would try the drugs on themselves, so if I sat with them, I would be suspected.
Although there is no high-tech surveillance nowadays, the train attendants have become very observant.
So he couldn't help but say: "Then come back quickly."
Chu Hong found a secluded place and told him what she had discovered. Finally, she said, "It's possible that I'm overthinking it, but we still have to be careful."
After all, she knew a little about psychology and felt that she was not wrong.
Gu Ci's heart also shuddered: "You are right, when we go back, you talk to Comrade He, and if she falls asleep, you do the same."
The main thing is that they have no evidence now and cannot go directly to the flight attendant. Otherwise, if they are overthinking it, it would be embarrassing.
The two of them went back quickly. Seeing that He Wen had already dozed off, Chu Hong immediately said, "He Wen, when we get off the train tomorrow, can I go with you to get to know the way first? That way, I won't be at a loss as to how to find you then."
Hearing this, He Wen forced herself to cheer up and said, "That's fine. It's actually very easy to find."
After saying that, he couldn't help but yawn.
Chu Hong also covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, reminding her: "We will arrive at the station soon, let's not sleep, otherwise there will be too many people getting on and off and someone might accidentally take the wrong luggage."
This is a more euphemistic way of putting it, but what I actually mean is that I am afraid of encountering pickpockets.
But when Wu Xiaoming heard this, he immediately said, "It's okay, it's okay, you all can go to sleep, I'll just watch over you."
Then he picked up the teacup and said, "I made a very strong tea. I don't want to sleep after drinking it."
Chu Hong noticed the inconsistency in his words. He was the one who reminded them earlier that they were about to arrive at the station and told them not to sleep and to eat some candy to wake themselves up.
Now they are urged to sleep peacefully.
This made it difficult for Chu Hong not to be alert.
At this time, a staff member came over with a cart and asked: "Would you like some melon seeds, peanuts, sesame cakes, fried dough twists, and beer?"
Behind the staff, there were two train police officers checking tickets selectively.
This made Wu Xiaoming feel a little panicked, and he stared at them.
Chu Hong suddenly felt something in her heart and put the two candies that she had wrapped in a handkerchief into his teacup.
When the conductor came over, he didn't check their tickets, but just glanced at them and walked away.
Their main purpose is to deter others, and ticket checking is just a side job.
Otherwise, with so many carriages and people getting on and off the train all the time, it would be impossible to check them all.
The main purpose is to investigate those gay men who look like gangsters.
Wu Xiaoming secretly breathed a sigh of relief after watching the two flight attendants leave. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, picked up the teacup and almost finished half of it.
Nowadays, people like to drink strong tea made with tea leaves and sugar. So after he finished drinking it, he realized belatedly that there was a minty flavor in the tea.
Then I remembered that I had eaten authentic mint candy before, and I felt that I was overthinking it.
This delay actually lasted almost ten minutes.
He then looked at the people next to him and opposite him and found that He Wen had fallen asleep on the table, and the man and woman opposite him also had their heads leaning against each other as if they had fallen asleep.
He let out a long sigh of relief, and did not touch them immediately, but closed his eyes and rested.
