Nan Qing looked out the window at the scenery rushing past, surrounded by a cacophony of sounds. Dressed in a light blue lace dress with a turn-down collar, she seemed somewhat out of place among the other passengers on the train.
Nan Qing rested her chin on her hand, gazing out the window. The sunlight shone on her smooth face, making her look as beautiful as an elf from a fairy tale.
She had fair, almost glowing skin, and on her small face were a pair of large, dark eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled, sending a shiver down one's spine. Her long, black hair was braided into two cute pigtails that hung down in front of her chest.
Sure enough, it wasn't just the male comrade sitting opposite Nan Qing who was secretly glancing at Nan Qing again and again.
Even the woman sitting next to Nan Qing blushed, and her breathing slowed down, as if she was afraid of startling this fairy-like beauty.
Nan Qing ignored the gazes directed at her. Looking out the window, she suddenly thought of Shi Bei, the chosen one of her previous life.
In the previous life, the apocalypse didn't end until the 12th year.
As Shi Bei wished, after they dealt with the vile base together, they returned to the base and held a small but meaningful wedding.
Shi Bei, who liked to cling to her even before marriage, became even more unrestrained after marriage.
He applied for a new villa, and as soon as the two got married, he quickly moved out with Nanqing, completely ignoring his teammates who were looking at him like he was a heartless man.
Nan Qing could only complain to Xiao Ba that her maxed-out skills, especially her exceptionally good healing abilities, were not really convenient for her or for him.
In short, Shi Bei relentlessly pursued her in every way possible.
Until Shi Bei passed away at the age of 71, he still held Nan Qing tightly and asked her in his voice, which, though weathered, was still very pleasant.
"Qingqing, will you come looking for me in the next life?"
At this time, Nan Qing's hair had turned completely white. She looked at Shi Bei with the same pair of eyes that looked somewhat cloudy but were still clear and bright.
Nan Qing looked at him with a complicated expression, but she didn't speak, because she couldn't promise him a next life.
He has reincarnation and a next life, but she doesn't. She is just a passerby in these small worlds, and just one passerby in his countless reincarnations.
Shi Bei didn't blame Nan Qing. He simply squeezed the small hand he had been holding tightly in his own, and with his last strength, he said softly:
"It's okay if you don't come looking for me, I'll come looking for you first."
Nan Qing knew this a long time ago, and Shi Bei must have guessed something. After all, he had been reborn once.
However, Nan Qing didn't think much of it.
After all, her relationship with Shi Bei had come to an end.
Granting him this lifetime was the only thing she could do, nothing more.
Thinking of this, Nan Qing banished all these thoughts, gathered her mind, and forced herself to stop thinking about the previous world. She spoke to Xiao Ba, who was in her spiritual realm:
"Xiao Ba, how much longer do we have to wait on the train?"
"This car smells awful, and it's very uncomfortable for me to sit in."
Nan Qing, who lives a very luxurious life in every world and is well taken care of, feels that she really can't stand this slow train anymore.
The hard seats, the slow pace, and the unpleasant smells all made her a little irritable.
[Host, we'll arrive this afternoon, in just over three hours.]
Just be patient a little longer, it'll be over very soon~
Nan Qing was not comforted by Xiao Ba at all. With a frown on her pretty little face, she sighed deeply and lazily lay down on the table in front of her.
This was in China in 1971, a relatively backward era.
In this world, Nan Qing is the daughter of a war zone commander.
Because of the political turmoil, Nanqing's father was targeted. In order to prevent Nanqing from being affected, her father found a way to send her to a supposedly very nice rural area to work as an educated youth.
There's also a regimental commander who used to work under her father there. He said he's made arrangements to take care of everything for her there.
They also told her to just do some simple tasks and not actually go to the fields, saying that her family would send her food, supplies, and grain coupons every month.
Once things have calmed down here, I'll find an opportunity to bring her back.
Nan Qing has been in this world for over a month, and was told to go to the countryside as soon as she arrived.
However, she couldn't refuse, because her task this time was to successfully complete the storyline of this rural trip.
The chosen one of this world is none other than the commander under her father's command.
And so, in a daze, Nanqing convinced herself to endure for another three hours.
[Host, wake up, we've arrived in Jiangcheng.]
Reminded by Xiao Ba, Nan Qing, still somewhat dazed, grabbed a small bag she was carrying and followed the group of educated youth off the train.
"Everyone stay together and don't get separated."
"Come on, this way."
"Be careful with your belongings and watch out for pickpockets."
Nan Qing followed the group all the way, walking in the middle of the crowd, with several people beside her intentionally or unintentionally protecting her.
Outside Jiangcheng Railway Station.
Several tractors of varying ages were parked on an open space. Several brigade leaders from the Red Star Commune were gathered together, discussing the situation of the educated youth they had been assigned this time.
A man with a resolute face, tall stature, and a buzz cut sat on a relatively new-looking tractor.
Instead of gathering with the other members of the brigade to smoke and joke, he kept staring in the direction of the train exit.
A few days ago, He Monian received a call from his former commander in the army, saying that his daughter would be coming to their brigade as an educated youth and asking him to take care of her and make arrangements.
That's why he came to Jiangcheng Station with the brigade leader today to pick up the educated youth who were going to the countryside.
At that moment, someone on their side shouted:
"They're here, they're here. This must be the group of educated youth this time."
Everyone looked at the group of people who had just come out of the station exit. They all had fair skin and most of them were dressed neatly and properly. They were obviously city people and must be the group of educated youth who had been sent to the countryside this time.
Sure enough, the group of people also walked in their direction. He Monian saw them just as Nan Qing and her group came out of the train station.
As they drew closer, He Monian's calm eyes narrowed instantly, and even his steady breathing paused for several seconds.
He stared intently at the figure surrounded by the crowd, his lips pursed, his large hands unconsciously clenching, a sudden unease creeping into his heart.
Perhaps it wasn't anxiety, but I just suddenly felt my heart beating extremely fast.
