Three days later.
The couple went to Li Xiong's hometown under the pretext of returning to Shanghai. Fortunately, Li Xiong was also from Shanghai, so the letter of introduction was not wasted.
Ever since boarding the train, Gu Sinian has been staring at her without blinking.
How did you know that Li Xiong's hometown is in Shanghai?
"I overheard it."
The man raised an eyebrow. "You have this talent for eavesdropping? How come I didn't know?"
"There are many things you don't know. Curiosity killed the cat. Don't ask too many questions."
Gu Sinian chuckled and pinched Su Ying's soft cheek. "Going for a more serious look now?"
"Don't try to be mysterious or give yourself away. I'm just telling the truth. Thanks to the space, I was able to hide in it after being discovered, and no one knew it was me."
Anyway, it was clues from her past life that led her to this knowledge. Gu Sinian has no memories of his past life, so how could he know which words were true and which were false?
"Stop nagging. I'm going to sleep. You can stay here and keep an eye on things if you don't have anything else to do. I'm going to take a nap in my spatial dimension."
Helpless, Gu Sinian left him behind and went into the space alone.
He had just lain down when Su Ying emerged from the space. The man was overjoyed and wanted to hug her, but a bunch of food blocked his way.
"This is?"
"I'm afraid you'll be bored, so I've prepared some food for you."
"All right."
He was just being delusional. He thought she was just keeping him company because she was worried he'd be bored, but it turned out he'd been dreaming for nothing.
"You stay here and keep an eye on things. I'll switch over after I wake up from my nap."
Gu Sinian verbally agreed, but he dared not act on it. There were people coming and going on the train, and it would be too dangerous for him not to be there for them.
"Okay. Go inside and get some sleep. If you get hungry, just eat the food I've prepared on the table."
"good."
Su Ying heartlessly entered the space, leaving Gu Sinian staring blankly at her retreating figure.
"He really is heartless. Can't he just spend some time with me?"
never mind.
The journey on the train was already bumpy enough, and she was already feeling uncomfortable because of her pregnancy. It would be nice to stay in space all the time.
This way, you won't have to endure the pain of long train journeys.
As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, Su Ying appeared in the private room on time and brought Gu Sinian a lot of delicious food.
As soon as they finished eating, Su Ying urged him to go into the space to take a shower, but Gu Sinian refused.
"I'm going to the restroom to get some water and then I'll come back."
"Why bother with that? If you need water, I'll get it for you from my space. Why go through all that trouble?"
"But it's something we still have to do."
"ah?"
Gu Sinian began to explain patiently, "We traveled from Beijing to Shanghai, which is quite a long distance. We didn't even leave the private room. Wouldn't that arouse suspicion?"
Su Ying nodded. It seemed that was indeed the case. Wouldn't it arouse suspicion if they did nothing and got off the bus at the appointed time?
Fortunately, there are no surveillance cameras in this day and age, which is why she can do whatever she wants with such impunity.
It's always best to be cautious in your conduct and actions.
To avoid giving others cause for gossip.
"You're right. We still have to do the superficial work."
Gu Sinian smiled and asked Su Ying to take a basin from her spatial storage. He then opened the door and went to the bathroom, returning shortly with a basin of cold water.
"Just leave the water here as a formality. I'll take it to pour it out later."
Since she had already brought the water back, she couldn't let the trip go to waste. Without any hesitation, Su Ying washed her face and hands, immediately turning the clear water in the basin murky. She then shamelessly said...
"If you're going to put on a show, go all the way."
Gu Sinian stood aside and smiled helplessly. This little girl has quite a lot of twisted logic.
"Tell me honestly. How much money does Li Xiong's family have that you could make such a trip without having to go through all that trouble?"
"Not many."
"really?"
"Of course."
"But when I think about it carefully, something just doesn't feel right. You'd make a wasted trip for such a small amount of money?"
Su Ying, without batting an eye, made up an excuse for herself, "I just wanted to go to Shanghai to buy some supplies and make a little money along the way."
Gu Sinian's decision not to report it meant that Li Xiong's family's money could only enter her personal space.
It's too late to regret it.
Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.
All she wants in this life is to be a happy parasite.
They had no worries about food or clothing, and their lives were incredibly comfortable.
Gu Sinian looked at her suspiciously, "Really?"
Su Ying nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Really. More real than pearls."
"It's time to sleep. I'm going to bed first. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning. Goodnight."
I wanted to ask something more, but the person had already entered the space; the little girl ran away quickly.
If Li Xiong's family were truly wealthy, they wouldn't need to steal any cultural relics or even try to leave the country.
Isn't it better to live a simple life by simply keeping the money at home?
He must have really wanted to come.
Li Xiong's family was destitute and had no money.
The higher-ups had already investigated Li Xiong's family. They were dirt poor, and his colleagues in Shanghai had already searched the house. There was nothing of value there. That's why he agreed to let the little girl come to Shanghai.
The little girl must miss the taste of home, which is why she wanted to go back to Shanghai to bring back more supplies.
never mind.
It's just a little bit of money.
If you've already taken the bribe, then you've taken it.
There should be no psychological burden.
After a satisfying meal, you can lie in bed with your eyes closed and rest, while the train continues its journey, churning and rattling along.
A few days later, Su Ying stepped off the train in high spirits. This time, taking the train felt just like being at home; she arrived in the blink of an eye.
Gu Sinian stood in stark contrast, his exhaustion immediately apparent.
Su Ying walked ahead, with Gu Sinian following closely behind, reminding her, "Slow down. You're pregnant."
