It was past seven o'clock, and the train was already dark. Most people in the carriage had already fallen asleep. Xuemei woke up and decided to keep watch, as she was worried about her belongings.
She took out a flashlight from her schoolbag and found that Han Chen was not asleep, but she ignored him. Xuemei took out a folded thin blanket from the shelf and placed it on the table, then tied the mouth of the sack.
When she was about to sit down, she found that Han Chen had already moved to his seat. Xuemei didn't want to argue with him, so she sat down at the window seat, spread out the quilt, and didn't care whether Han Chen covered himself with it or not. Then she stared at the window glass in a daze.
By eight o'clock, snoring was already heard everywhere in the carriage, and the two boys opposite who were reluctant to go to bed also fell asleep under the pressure of their parents.
Xuemei took a sip of the water in the kettle. She felt completely chilled, but also refreshed.
Han Chen looked at Xuemei's silence and pulled the quilt. Xuemei thought he was cold, so she ignored him and let him pull.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Han Chen reached out and pulled her over. Xuemei pushed Han Chen, but unexpectedly, Han Chen hugged her tighter. Xuemei said irritably: "What are you doing? Let me go!"
Han Chen shook his head and said aggrievedly, "Xuemei, don't be angry!"
Xuemei felt her eyes begin to moisten when she heard this. She fought back her tears and said, "Why would I be angry? Didn't you want to be angry with me?"
Han Chen listened in silence for a while, then said, "I'm not angry, I'm jealous. You talk to others instead of me!"
"I was talking to him. He was the one who asked me about our relationship. We only exchanged five or six sentences, and then you came back. It's okay for you to be jealous, but I can't be angry about that girl's behavior today?" Xuemei wiped her eyes and said in a low voice in dissatisfaction.
Han Chen reached out and touched Xuemei's face, and found that Xuemei was crying. He felt even more regretful. He should have been angry with Xuemei during the day.
Han Chen wanted to help Xuemei wipe her tears, but Xuemei slapped his hand away, turned her face away, and said coldly: "Don't touch me!" After saying that, Xuemei pushed Han Chen away.
Han Chen panicked and started crying anxiously, saying in a sobbing voice, "Xuemei, I was wrong. Please don't leave me!"
Han Chen hugged Xuemei tightly again, tears streaming down his face. He said nervously, "I really know I was wrong. I didn't handle the matter with that girl today. I shouldn't have been jealous and angry with you. Xuemei, don't leave me!"
Xuemei felt like she was suffocating from being hugged by Han Chen. She patted Han Chen's shoulder and said embarrassedly, "I asked you not to touch my face. I wanted to blow my nose with a towel. I won't break up with you over such a small matter. Han Chen, please let me go first. My nose is about to run!"
Han Chen let go of Xuemei this time and asked, "You really won't leave me?"
"Really!" Xuemei repeated.
Xuemei first used a towel to wipe Han Chen's tears before blowing her nose.
After they calmed down, they both felt a little embarrassed. Xuemei leaned over to Han Chen's ear and whispered, "I'm sorry, but you can't be blamed entirely for what happened with that girl today. I ignored you then because I was jealous and angry, and I was afraid to vent my anger on you!"
Han Chen hugged Xuemei and said, "I'm sorry, Xuemei. I know I made more mistakes today, and I will be more careful next time. Xuemei, if you're angry or unhappy in the future, please ignore me. It's okay to vent your anger on me, but I'm just afraid that you'll ignore me and not talk to me!"
"I know, Han Chen, you are really a disaster!" Xuemei said with a pout.
Han Chen chuckled as he listened, then gently kissed Xuemei on the lips and said, "You go to sleep! I'll keep watch!"
Just as Xuemei was about to come back, she heard someone mumbling. The two of them were so scared that they quickly separated. After separating, they looked around and were relieved when they found nothing unusual.
Xuemei patted her chest and said, "Okay, you keep watch first, and I'll take over at twelve o'clock."
Han Chen said: "It's okay, just get some sleep, I can catch up on my sleep tomorrow!"
Xuemei didn't plan to argue anymore, she just waited for her to wake up. Xuemei slept in Han Chen's arms until two in the morning. After waking up, Xuemei pulled out of Han Chen's arms and let him sleep.
Han Chen said worriedly: "Then call me if you have any problems!"
Xuemei nodded, indicating that she would call him if anything happened. Only then did Han Chen close his eyes.
The next day, which was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, at around ten o'clock in the morning, the train arrived at Beijing Railway Station, which was also the final destination of this train.
Xuemei deliberately re-braided her hair before getting off the train, went to the bathroom to wipe her face with a dry towel dipped in water, and brushed her teeth again with the remaining water in the kettle. She was afraid that the Lin family would come to pick them up after they got off the train. Han Chen even laughed at her for being too nervous.
As Xuemei and Han Chen got off the train, they saw two people on the platform shouting, "Xiaochen, Xiaochen, this way!"
Xuemei stood there and pulled off her headscarf. She smoothed her hair, tugged at her collar and hems, and straightened out the mess she had made from getting off the train. Then she said to Han Chen, "Let's go! They've seen us!"
Han Chen pulled Xuemei's hand and said jokingly, "Xuemei, don't be so nervous. An ugly daughter-in-law will always have to meet her parents-in-law. Besides, you are so beautiful!"
Xuemei patted Han Chen's hand and said, "You are so beautiful, I am not nervous. I am respecting my elders. Do you understand?"
Han Chen smiled and said, "Yes, you are not nervous!"
After Han Chen and Xuemei met the old man and the young man in front of them, Han Chen put down the sack in his hand.
