Chapter 2
27 hours on the road
"Boxed lunch, three dishes for twenty-five dollars. Are there any passengers who need it?"
On the speeding train, it was time for lunch and the railway attendant was pushing a cart, shuttling between the train carriages.
"Big sister, what are the dishes?"
Hearing the shouting, Lin Senmu pushed open the door of the private room.
Before the trip, he did enough research and knew that the food on the train was average in taste and a bit expensive.
But this time the trip is long, so I can't eat when I arrive at the station like I can on the high-speed train. If I miss this meal, I will have to wait until breakfast tomorrow morning.
"Kung Pao Chicken, Braised Lion's Head, Twice-Cooked Pork!"
The waitress stopped to introduce.
Lin Senmu saw the set meal in the cart. Three meat dishes were served with shredded potatoes and green vegetables. After thinking about it, he took a portion of twice-cooked pork.
"Hmm, braised lion's head, I want one like this."
Jiang Yuan got out of the bed from the upper bunk, stood on tiptoe, and looked at the dishes in the cart through Lin Senmu's shoulder.
Lin Senmu scanned the payment QR code and entered 50 with his finger. When he was about to confirm the payment, he realized something was wrong. However, he thought of a picture and gave up the idea of correcting it.
The waitress checked the arrival information, and after confirming that it was correct, she pushed the cart and left without looking back.
Jiang Yuan was about to scan the QR code with her mobile phone, but when she saw the QR code card being taken back, her almond eyes became stunned. "Hey, hey, hey, I haven't paid yet?"
The next second, she seemed to understand something and looked at Lin Senmu with her beautiful almond eyes.
Lin Senmu calmly explained, "You just treated me to potato chips, so I'll treat you to a meal."
Jiang Yuan wanted to say "I'll give you the money", but she swallowed it back silently and said "Thank you!"
She walked over to the small sofa and opened the lunch box she was carrying on the dining table.
Lin Senmu scratched his head, closed the door of the private room again, and when he turned around, there was a hint of hesitation on his face.
The current situation is that the girl occupies the sofa. If Lin Senmu wants to eat, he can only sit in the innermost part of the lower bunk and eat with the girl face to face.
"We don't know each other. If we sit opposite each other for dinner, she would probably feel awkward."
Lin Senmu planned to wait for the girl to finish eating before going over to eat, so he sat outside the lower bunk.
Jiang Yuan took a small bite of the lion's head and ate a piece of vegetable. Then she raised her almond eyes, but she didn't see the person coming from the opposite side.
She couldn't help but turn her head to look over, and saw the boy sitting upright with his back straight, his phone screen stuck on the music interface for changing songs.
Jiang Yuan caught a glimpse of Jay Chou's image, and an idea popped into her head, "I wonder what song he is listening to? Is it Sunny Day? I never get tired of listening to this song!"
Jiang Yuan was curious but did not invite the boy to come over. It was already a weird atmosphere for a strange man and woman to be together in a private room of less than ten square meters.
If the boy came over on his own initiative, Jiang Yuan would not object, and they would each have half the right to use the dining table.
Not long after, Jiang Yuan finished her meal, cleaned up the table, and smiled at the boy: "I'm done!"
“Okay!”
Lin Senmu smiled back.
Jiang Yuan kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the upper bunk by stepping on the footrest.
At this moment, the waitress's voice rang out from outside the door again: "Box lunch, three dishes for ten yuan, the last three servings!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan stopped climbing onto the bed and looked at the boy with tears in her eyes, as if saying: We've been cheated!
Lin Senmu looked at her and nodded vigorously, feeling that the food tasted even less delicious!
"Angry!"
Jiang Yuan snorted, hid in the quilt, and gently kicked the door with her little feet in white socks!
The green train from Sichuan to the Western Regions passes through twelve stations, stopping and starting along the way, and unknowingly it has driven out of the southwest region.
Outside the car window, it was pitch black and there was no scenery along the way. Only sporadic lights could be seen when passing through towns and villages.
Lin Senmu leaned against the head of the bed, flipping through the pages of "Passing By Your World" in his hand.
Although this e-book is also available on mobile phones, Lin Senmu prefers the feeling of reading paper text.
This youth book includes many love stories.
Every time after reading a story, Lin Senmu couldn't recover for a long time because he had identified himself with the characters in the story.
"I don't know when I will meet the girl who belongs to me."
Lin Senmu murmured softly.
Suddenly, the image of the girl on the upper bunk appeared in my mind.
He hurriedly shook his head, getting rid of the unrealistic thoughts. It was just a brief encounter with her.
Jiang Yuan was lying on the upper bunk. There was no other way. If she sat up, her little head would hit the ceiling of the carriage. She put on her headphones and watched short videos. After catching up on a few episodes of Crayon Shin-chan, she didn't want to play with her phone anymore!
So the girl couldn't help but look towards the door again, looking at the boy reading quietly in the mirror.
"He's the type that gets better the more you look at him!"
"I'm 168cm tall. When I was buying lunch just now, I was behind him and the top of my head seemed to be level with his nose bridge. So he should be more than 180cm tall?"
"Well, his clothes are pretty good too. He wears abstinent clothes. The long-sleeved white shirt and the white shirt I'm wearing look a bit like a couple's pair, don't they?"
"Ah, Jiang Yuan, what are you thinking about? What if he has a girlfriend? Your thoughts are very dangerous!"
The girl, with nothing to do, stared at the boy in the mirror, and all kinds of strange thoughts came into her little head.
After realizing something was wrong, she shyly folded her arms and covered her hot face with her hands.
“Pah.”
Jiang Yuan's cell phone was accidentally pushed by her and fell directly to the floor.
Lin Senmu caught a glimpse of the cell phone falling from the sky. He waited for several seconds and found that the girl on the upper bunk did not get out of bed to pick it up. He had no choice but to pick up the girl's phone and gently touch the girl.
Jiang Yuan covered her face with her hands and felt someone touching her. She looked at the boy beside the bed blankly.
"You dropped your phone!"
Lin Senmu gave her the phone.
"ah?"
Jiang Yuan then realized that her cell phone was held in the boy's hand.
Lin Senmu hesitated for a moment and said, "The screen protector is cracked. Your phone model is the same as mine. I have a spare tempered glass screen protector. Do you want it?"
“I don’t know how to post it.”
Jiang Yuan answered softly.
"Then wait a moment."
Lin Senmu sat back on the bed, took out a new tempered glass screen protector from his travel bag, tore off the girl's broken phone screen protector on the dining table, wiped it with a wet towel, then a dry towel, and then removed the dust.
Jiang Yuan poked her little head out from the upper bunk, looked down at the boy who was concentrating on applying the film, and blinked her charming big eyes.
Suddenly, her little face turned red. It turned out that the phone screen lit up, revealing the lock screen wallpaper - Jiang Yuan wearing black stockings.
Girls, even if they don’t have a boyfriend, will buy a few pairs of stockings and take some beautiful photos to please themselves.
Of all her body, Jiang Yuan was most satisfied with her legs.
My girlfriends all envy this pair of comic legs.
Lin Senmu also noticed this situation, and his clear pupils suddenly widened.
One second, two seconds, three seconds. I don’t know whether I appreciated it enough or came to my senses.
Lin Senmu locked his phone calmly and put a brand new tempered glass film on the girl's screen.
"alright!"
Looking up, Lin Senmu's face showed an unnatural blush as he met the girl's shy eyes.
Jiang Yuan took the phone and didn't even say thank you this time. She pulled the quilt over her little head, her shy toes curled up in her little white socks.
"This is so embarrassing, I'll change the lock screen later!"
