Chapter 9's spot has been taken.



Two men caught up with them, and one of them went straight up and subdued the man who was squatting on the ground.

"Comrade, not bad skills." Another standing man looked at Su Li and said.

Su Li waved her hand; "No, no."

The man's features were exceptionally handsome, deep yet not sharp, and his demeanor was reserved.

The other man who caught the thief was also good-looking, with a relatively sunny appearance.

"Brother Nian, I'll take this person to the police station first."

"Um"

The young lady whose suitcase had been stolen arrived breathlessly, only to find her suitcase still intact.

She almost cried; all her belongings were in there.

"Thank you for helping me get my suitcase back."

"Serving the people is our responsibility. I suggest you be more discreet when traveling alone in the future."

Gu Huanian glanced at the woman in front of him; she was clearly from a wealthy family. She wore a white dress, an exquisite hair clip, and an expensive watch—she was indeed eye-catching. It was hard not to be noticed, so he made a brief mention of her; whether she listened or not was up to her.

As he spoke, he glanced at Su Li. This girl was the opposite; her clothes were all patched, her pants were too short, and she was dark-skinned and thin, forming a stark contrast to the woman who had lost her suitcase.

She's so thin and frail; I don't know where she got the courage to chase after someone.

After giving the woman a brief instruction, he left without waiting for her reply. He was going to the Northeast because a mine had been discovered there, and it was said that people claiming to be from the government were keeping an eye on it. He needed to confirm this first so he could make further arrangements.

"Sigh...why did they leave?" Zhou Yuting murmured.

She wanted to get to know him; that man from earlier was just too handsome.

After the soldier left, she turned her gaze to Su Li and looked her up and down.

Frowning, she thought the man was too shabby. She put down the briefcase and opened it. She took out a small package, counted out twenty yuan, and handed it to Su Li.

"Here you go, thank you for helping me today."

Su Li; "......."

This man just casually opened his suitcase and took money right in front of her, completely unsuspecting!

With a personality like that, if you went to the countryside, you'd be eaten alive in no time.

Su Li accepted the money; since she had given it to her, she might as well take it.

Seeing Su Li take the money, she said with a grin, "You're also a sent-down youth, right?"

"Um"

Su Li glanced at the sky; the train was about to arrive, and she didn't have time to chat with her.

He replied with one sentence and strode back.

Zhou Yuting followed behind her and asked, "My name is Zhou Yuting. What's your name? I've been sent to Lijiatun in Northeast China. What about you?"

Su Li was a little annoyed and gave a simple answer.

The people behind her were incredibly noisy, and even after they got back to the train station, her little mouth was still chattering away.

His big eyes were full of innocent foolishness.

The train had arrived; at this time, trains were still those old-fashioned green trains. Su Li, holding her ticket and dragging her luggage, rushed inside. There were so many people; she squeezed for a while before finally getting on the train.

The environment inside the car was terrible, with all sorts of stench mixed together, and she couldn't help but frown.

She finally found her seat, only to find a woman dressed similarly to her sitting there, her head buried in her legs, her face obscured.

Su Li stepped forward and patted the woman on the shoulder; "Comrade, you've taken my seat, please move aside."

I don't know if it was because her voice was too gentle, or if the woman was really fast asleep.

The woman remained seated in Su Li's place without moving, and Su Li patted her again.

The voice was loud enough to be heard throughout the entire carriage, and the tone wasn't very friendly; "Hey, you've taken my seat, move over right now."

The woman then raised her head; her face was somewhat pale, but she was quite beautiful.

"I'm so sorry! I was feeling really unwell, so I just sat here to rest for a while. I didn't mean to take up your seat."

Su Li wasn't buying it at all; "Since it wasn't intentional, you can get up now."

The woman's face was full of grievance, as if she had been bullied; "I... I really feel terrible, could you let me sit for a while longer? Don't worry, I'll definitely give you the seat back when I feel better."

"Can't you understand human language? This is my seat. What does your comfort have to do with me? Get out of here."

Su Li was jostled around by people on this side, and the smell in the carriage made it hard for her to breathe. She found a seat but couldn't sit down, and she was extremely irritable.

This woman, however, has something stuck to her buttocks, pretending to be weak but refusing to get up.

Most people were still seated, listening to the commotion and watching Su Li's aggressive demeanor.

Some people who couldn't stand it started to chime in: "They really have no sense of public morality. Others are already saying they're uncomfortable, and they're still bullying them like this."

The speaker was a young man sitting opposite Su Li, who was probably also a sent-down youth.

When the woman heard someone speak up for her, she reached up and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I'm really in pain, comrade. Please, can I sit down and rest for a bit?"

"No, whether you're upset or not is none of my business, and we're not close. I'm saying this one last time, get out of my way."

She assured the woman that if she didn't give up her seat, she would take action.

"Why are you acting like this? She already said she wasn't feeling well, what's wrong with her sitting down for a while?"

The other passengers chimed in, “That’s right, didn’t you see how pale that guy’s face was? How can you be so heartless?”

Su Li looked at the young man opposite her and said, "Yes, you're right. I have no compassion, but you do. Since you're so helpful, give your seat to her."

The man was momentarily speechless, and the others dared not utter a sound either.

These people don't know the pain until the fire burns them themselves.

The woman looked at the young man with hopeful eyes; it was the first time Zhang Fan had been looked at like that by a beautiful woman.

On a whim, he stood up; "Fine, I'll give way. I'm not like some people who have no compassion at all."

The woman stood up happily, walked to Zhang Fan's seat, and sat down, afraid that he might change his mind.

"Thank you! Comrade, you're such a good person."

"N-nothing," Zhang Fan said awkwardly.

Su Li was too lazy to pay attention to these two idiots, and sat down after the woman left.

Just as I closed my eyes to clear my mind, I saw the young lady who had lost her suitcase earlier walk over and sit down next to me.

"Su Li? I didn't expect we'd be so destined to meet, our seats are next to each other."

Su Li thought to herself: This kind of fate is unnecessary.

"You have no idea how crowded I was just getting crushed by the people at the train door. This is the first time in my life I've ever traveled by train alone."

"Su Li, you still haven't told me if the village you're going to is Lijiatun?"

"Su Li, I have some White Rabbit milk candy, do you want some?"

"I'm not eating, you can keep it for yourself! I want to rest for a bit, so don't call me for now."

Su Li was so annoyed by her calling that she simply pretended to be asleep.
