As Lu He spoke, he opened his bag and saw three ten-yuan bills.
"Hey~" Lu He took out thirty yuan. "Why is there money here?"
"It's obviously from Uncle Jiang, he was worried you wouldn't have enough money!" Xu Feiming said to Lu He as he looked at the money.
Lu He thought so too.
“How could I not have money? I earn thirty yuan a month. If I work the night shift, I get an extra five yuan allowance.”
Lu He felt very proud that he could make money.
Looking at Lu He's proud expression, Xu Feiming smiled and said with doting eyes, "Alright, I know you can make money, but don't let it show. We're on a train. If someone hears us, you're doomed!"
"Brother Fei Ming, don't try to scare me. I'm not afraid of those people. I'm still practicing all the moves you taught me." Lu He was no longer afraid of any thugs.
"Don't worry, what if the other side has a gun? Can you outrun a gun?" Xu Feiming didn't believe Lu He; she might not have seen a gun before.
Lu Hemei was speechless and could only shut up silently.
Seeing Lu He's expression, Xu Feiming found her even more adorable.
But he held back.
"Go and get some rest. You've been working all day and you have to catch your train tonight. I'm here, so don't worry," Xu Feiming said to Lu He.
"Uh-huh."
Lu He put the money in her bag, took out the sesame seed cakes that Jiang's father had prepared for her and placed them on the small table. After putting away her luggage, she took off her shoes and lay down.
Lu He covered herself with the blanket and closed her eyes.
The car started moving soon after.
The train lights were off, and it moved slowly.
Xu Feiming took out his sketchbook and started sketching.
Listening to the sound of the pen writing, Lu He was actually not asleep.
"Brother Feiming, aren't you going to sleep?" Lu He opened her eyes and saw Xu Feiming leaning against a pillow.
Hearing Lu He's question, and looking at Lu He's reply, "I can't sleep, did my writing disturb you?"
"No, I'm just so excited about seeing my brother and sister-in-law tomorrow that I can't sleep." Lu He was indeed excited, and with a boy next to her, she really couldn't sleep.
Xu Feiming could see what Lu He was thinking and comforted her, "Don't think too much. If you can't sleep, get up and chat with me."
Lu He immediately sat up.
"Brother Feiming, I heard from Jiang's father that Aunt Yu and Uncle Xu introduced you to many potential partners, but you didn't like any of them. Why is that?"
Lu He could tell from Jiang's father's phone call that Uncle Xu seemed to be telling Jiang's father that scholars appreciate each other, and that he had heard about male wives back in Fucheng.
The elders suspected that Fei Ming seemed to get along well with a chief of staff, who happened to be from Fucheng.
Xu Feiming saw a gossipy look in Lu He's eyes.
"Why do you care about this, kid?" Xu Feiming asked Lu He helplessly, thinking about the people his mother had introduced him to. They didn't get along with him. They were either bad at talking or forced to go on blind dates because they didn't know who they liked.
This didn't please Xu Feiming.
Or they've already decided what to name their future child the moment they meet.
Lu He pouted and asked curiously, "Brother Fei Ming, do you really not have anyone you like, or is the person you like already married?"
The more Lu He asked, the more excited she became. She got out of bed, walked barefoot to Xu Feiming's bedside, and asked, "Or is it that the person you like has gone to the countryside, and you're waiting for her to come back?"
Xu Feiming frowned slightly upon hearing what Lu He said.
“Brother Feiming, several of the guys I know have had their crushes sent to the countryside. It’s a long-distance relationship, and it’s really tough. If you like her, you can marry her, and then you can join her in the military, right?” Lu He suggested to Xu Feiming, “You don’t have to wait for her to have a chance to return to the city.”
Lu He watched as Xu Feiming continued to output.
Xu Feiming looked helpless and made a shushing face, trying to shut Lu He up.
"Shh~" Lu He thought Xu Feiming meant to say to keep it down so that others wouldn't hear, "Brother Feiming, I'll keep it down."
Xu Feiming was both amused and exasperated after hearing what Lu He said.
"Brother Fei Ming, Aunt Yu is such a good person, she wouldn't make things difficult for your future wife, why aren't you getting married yet?" Lu He whispered, "You don't know, Uncle Xu has started to suspect that you like men..." Lu He blurted out and quickly shut her mouth.
Xu Feiming frowned, staring at Lu He as he asked, "What do you like?"
"I like... someone who's hard to like." Lu He tried to smooth things over, her mind racing at that moment.
Xu Feiming simply did not believe the last sentence Lu He said.
Lu He and Xu Feiming exchanged a few glances, and Lu He blinked a few times guiltily.
"Speak?" Xu Feiming leaned closer and interrogated Lu He.
Lu He pursed her lips and remained silent, covering her mouth as she tried to escape.
Xu Feiming reached out and pulled Lu He back, grabbing Lu He's shoulders with both hands.
She lost her balance and fell straight into Xu Feiming's arms.
"Will you tell me or not?" Xu Feiming had already realized what Lu He meant by those words.
Lu He didn't realize she was too close, and shook her head with a smile, refusing to say anything, absolutely refusing to say anything.
Xu Feiming scratched Lu He's waist, threateningly pressing her for an answer: "Will you tell me or not?"
Lu He shook her head again, it was too itchy, and kept struggling, turning to face Xu Feiming.
"Do you think it's the boy I like?" Xu Feiming knew he had asked Lu He what she was thinking. Lu He's eyes flickered a few times, but she didn't say anything. She tried to escape when Xu Feiming wasn't paying attention, but he grabbed Lu He's hand again. When he arched his back, he was tripped by his other leg, which was crossed, and he leaned against Lu He.
