Chapter 24: No More Relationships



Before ticket checking, they both went to the restroom and then lined up to enter the station. Because Jiangcheng was the first departure station, there were not many people in the sleeper car when they got on. It was only a little after six in the evening, and Chen Yun had no place to sleep. Her berth was at the top and not particularly convenient, so she sat in Liu Qiao's seat on the lower berth.

Liu Qiao said to her, "Take off your shoes and put your feet back on. It's so uncomfortable to wear shoes." He still remembered that she had been wearing high heels for most of the day.

Chen Yun was embarrassed and said, "No, I'll go upstairs and sleep later."

"I'll help you take it off..." Liu Qiao felt that Chen Yun was such a face-conscious girl. Even though they were already husband and wife, she was still afraid of showing her bad side in front of him.

Seeing that he really squatted down, Chen Yun pulled him and said, "I can take it off by myself."

Liu Qiao concentrated on taking off her leather boots. Chen Yun took her feet up, spread out the blanket on the sleeper, and put her feet in. Liu Qiao patted the blanket and said, "That's right. Isn't it more comfortable? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat anything?"

"I just ate, how can I be hungry? Brother Liu Qiao, come up too, it'll be warmer." Chen Yun looked at Liu Qiao.

Little did she know that Liu Qiao was waiting for this sentence, and he immediately put his feet into the quilt. The bed was very narrow, and the two sat facing each other. Although Chen Yun and Liu Qiao exchanged letters, they only talked about ordinary things. In fact, the two did not know each other very well. She thought for a while and found a safe topic: "Brother Liu Qiao, the light purple mink you sent me last time is very beautiful. It looks good even for someone of my age."

"Is that so? Little minks are very famous in Longcheng, and they keep out the cold." Liu Qiao didn't know why he wanted to take care of Chen Yun after seeing her. He didn't have this feeling when he was with other people before. His previous girlfriends were basically weak, crying, and a bit pretentious, but Yunyun was young but very sensible, but her sensibility was not the kind that made men feel too relieved and boring, but she was very tolerant of others, making others feel comfortable and unable to let go.

He is a person who easily attracts romantic interests. He has known this since he was young. Even the reason why Lin Jing was able to be with him in the end was not only because he pursued her closely, but also because of her appearance and personality.

Yunyun was the person he fell in love with at first sight, and he really didn't want to let her go.

Chen Yun looked out the window. It was getting dark. She said to Liu Qiao, "Do you want to sleep for a while? I'll go upstairs now."

"It's okay, how can I sleep now? It's still early. Our trip will take four days and three nights, so there's plenty of time to sleep. Yunyun, why do I feel like you've lost a lot of weight now?" Liu Qiao saw that Chen Yun's chin had become pointed. The chubby Yunyun used to be so cute.

Chen Yun said with some complacency: "I lost weight. I only ate an egg and a bowl of porridge in the morning, and only ate vegetables at noon and in the afternoon, so I lost a lot of weight. I am now under 100 yuan."

Liu Qiao frowned: "This is not good for your health. Go to Longcheng and take good care of your body. It's understandable that you want to look better for the wedding, but you are just fine normally. The last time Brother Liu Qiao saw you, he thought, how come Yunyun has grown so beautiful. Although you are thinner now, this method is not advisable. You should eat more nutritious food in the future. I don't think Yunyun is fat at all."

Until the end, Liu Qiao kept looking at her.

Chen Yun puffed up her cheeks and poked herself with her hands. Liu Qiao thought she was particularly cute. "Okay?"

"Okay." Chen Yun loves delicious food, and she hasn't had much meat for two months. At most, she would eat a little when she went out to eat with others, but she was very strict with herself at home.

Just like today when she was having dinner with Liu Qiao, she kept picking up red and green peppers and didn't eat much meat. She was so hungry at night and had a bad taste in her mouth in the morning. It was really uncomfortable. Liu Qiao really understood her: "Then take out the halved beef and eat it?"

Chen Yun nodded hurriedly.

After eating the meat, her stomach felt good and she felt satisfied. This satisfaction made her period come early. Her period was irregular because of the weight loss. Today, she was so nervous and ate so much that it came early. Fortunately, she brought sanitary napkins. She wanted to get something from the box. Liu Qiao saw that she was going to get something, so he went downstairs and asked her, "Can I get it for you? Which box?"

Chen Yun felt that she had become particularly shameless, as if she had crossed her limit since Liu Qiao helped her flush the toilet. She whispered, "White box, I want to get the sanitary napkins."

"That one is coming?" Liu Qiao asked.

Chen Yun nodded obediently.

Liu Qiao quickly dragged out the box and took out a package from it. Chen Yun put it in her bag first like a thief, took one out and stuffed it into her pocket, then let Liu Qiao watch the bag.

When we got to the toilet, we had to queue up first. When it was Chen Yun's turn, she smelled a strong smell of urine as soon as she entered. She held her breath and put the sanitary napkin in, went to the toilet, and then ran back. Liu Qiao patted the bed and said, "You sleep on the lower bunk today, and I'll sleep on the upper bunk. It's more convenient this way."

"Okay, then you wait a little longer before going up." Chen Yun was surrounded by strangers, and she felt that she and Liu Qiao had a sense of dependence on each other.

Liu Qiao smiled and said, "Well, I'll warm the quilt for you. When you go to sleep, you can put your down jacket on top of it, and it will be warm when you sleep."

Chen Yun, who was riding a train for the first time, put her bag on her chest and soon fell asleep, tired and excited. Liu Qiao saw that she was really asleep and then went to sleep. He woke up much earlier than others, thinking that Chen Yun was half asleep and half awake downstairs.

Chen Yun didn't wake up until the next day. She went to the toilet to change. The train stopped at a small station. Liu Qiao took out the roast chicken and gave it to Chen Yun with the steamed buns bought from the dining car.

"It tastes so good this way." Chen Yun smiled.

At this moment, a soldier in military uniform entered the carriage. He was carrying a lot of things, and behind him followed a very beautiful woman. To be honest, Chen Yun had never seen such a beautiful woman in her life. Moreover, she was only wearing a red cotton jacket and had two ponytails. She was simply dressed, but she didn't look rustic at all, but rather a bit pretty.

Liu Qiao pulled Chen Yun who was looking at the others and said, "Yun Yun, eat quickly, don't let it get cold."

Chen Yun secretly glanced at Liu Qiao. With such a beautiful woman in front of her, Liu Qiao turned a blind eye to her. He was truly amazing.

"Brother Liu Qiao, you eat too, don't bother with me."

The man in military uniform turned around when he heard Liu Qiao's name, "Captain Liu..."

Except for wearing military uniform in the barracks, Liu Qiao usually wore casual clothes. This was because wearing a military uniform was very conspicuous, and soldiers had priority in many places in the hospital. When he was on leave, he was just like a normal person, so the soldier did not recognize him.

"Xiao Mao, what are you doing..."

Xiao Mao quickly said, "I'm going home to visit my relatives. Deputy Battalion Commander Gao asked me to bring my sister-in-law with me. My seat is in another compartment!"

"Is that so?" Liu Qiao said to the woman who had just boarded the car, "Hello, I am Liu Qiao, Lao Gao's comrade-in-arms."

The woman was very enthusiastic: "Hello, hello, my name is Zhu Xiaofang, Gao Guobin's wife."

Liu Qiao said a few polite words and sent Xiao Mao back. Seeing that Chen Yun was choking, he quickly brought her some water and said, "Eat slowly, Yunyun."

Chen Yun took a big gulp of hot water before swallowing it. She saw Zhu Xiaofang looking at her, so she greeted her as well: "Hello, my name is Chen Yun, and I'm Liu Qiao's lover."

When Zhu Xiaofang saw the down jacket Chen Yun was wearing, she was particularly nostalgic. If she had a down jacket, she wouldn't be so cold. This cotton jacket was drafty. Zhu Xiaofang wanted to cry but had no tears. She was a time traveler from the 21st century. She had just been promoted, but she had a car accident and became Zhu Xiaofang who fainted on her wedding night for no apparent reason.

Chen Yun didn't feel anything yet, but Liu Qiao thought that Lao Gao's daughter-in-law was weird, so he asked Chen Yun to go to the bed directly, and he blocked her sight.

Liu Qiao has seen beautiful and sexy ones before, and he himself has been praised for his good looks since he was a child, so he doesn't have any special feelings for Zhu Xiaofang.

Zhu Xiaofang was also a shopper. She was very interested in Chen Yun's clothes and shoes, because ever since she traveled through time, in that small village, the Gao family was considered wealthy, but they were all villagers, and at most their clothes were neat and tidy. All of their clothes were handmade. Her red cotton blouse was custom-made, and her mother-in-law even scolded her for wasting money.

Seeing the down jacket, leggings and leather boots that Chen Yun was wearing, she felt that it was modern. So she started to talk to Chen Yun: "Did you also follow the army in the past?"

Chen Yun nodded, "Yes..."

"Have you completed your work?" Zhu Xiaofang asked casually.

Chen Yun shook her head: "I still don't know where I will be assigned to. What about you?"

Zhu Xiaofang said indifferently: "I was assigned to be a teacher at Hongqi Primary School."

She enthusiastically shared the cakes and spicy pork tongues she brought with Chen Yun. Chen Yun laughed and said, "How can I feel embarrassed?" In fact, she had already brought a lot of things, so she felt embarrassed to ask for others' things.

Zhu Xiaofang also gave her several tea eggs, and Chen Yun also shared the biscuits and salted beef she brought with her. Liu Qiao did not interrupt her from beginning to end. Chen Yun even thought that she talked too much. In fact, Liu Qiao felt that he wanted to talk to his wife privately. How could he cultivate their relationship when Zhu Xiaofang kept calling Yunyun to talk?

Chen Yun thought Zhu Xiaofang was a nice person, quite enthusiastic, and she had even graduated from high school, so she had a good education. The most surprising thing was that the two families actually lived next door to each other. Chen Yun said happily, "That's great, we will be neighbors in the future."

Zhu Xiaofang was not that snobbish, but she was naturally happy to finally see a neighbor who lived a more modern life. Moreover, this neighbor was the battalion commander's wife, so they had common topics to talk about, unlike when she talked to people of the same age in the village, where most of the conversations were incomprehensible.
