Chapter 105
After Ji Wanmei returned to the carriage, she saw that there was still some braised food left, so she turned back.
He took the braised food to the infirmary and said to the woman, "I spilled some earlier, this is all that's left. Please make do with this for now."
The eldest sister lay on a cot in the medical room, her eyes red, and held Ji Wanmei's hand, thanking her repeatedly.
Ji Wanmei then returned to the carriage with Lei Tingjun to rest.
For some reason, the carriage was very quiet that night.
After midnight, no new passengers boarded the train at any of the stops.
Lei Tingjun was then able to sit opposite Ji Wanmei and watch over her as she slept.
Ji Wanmei rested her head on Luo Chunyan's shoulder inside, gently closed her eyes, and her breathing gradually became long and even as she fell asleep.
Lei Tingjun, however, sat opposite her, wide awake, gazing at her with a dazed look.
Ji Wanmei's eyelashes are very long and delicate. When she closes her eyes, her two eyelashes are like butterfly wings, fluttering gently with her breath.
Lei Tingjun even worried that she might be blown away by the butterfly formed from those two wings because she was breathing too lightly.
He always felt that she was too beautiful to be real.
How could this muddy and ugly human world be worthy of an angel like her who had mistakenly wandered into the mortal realm?
Lei Tingjun's gaze swept over Ji Wanmei's eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, and chin inch by inch.
It's as if I can never get enough of looking at it.
After returning to Pingquan County, he could hardly find any more opportunities to spend such a close and long time with her.
Lei Tingjun almost greedily, eagerly, cherished this moment.
In the middle of the night, Ji Wanmei gently turned her body to the side, moved her head off Luo Chunyan's shoulder, and turned to the side.
They seemed to have forgotten that they were on a train, and that there was an unobstructed aisle just around the corner.
Just as her head was about to slide down, Lei Tingjun reacted quickly and reached out to catch it.
He cradled her head in his large hand.
He moved very gently and carefully.
Ji Wanmei wasn't woken up by his movements. Instead, she subconsciously rubbed her hand against his palm, using it as a pillow, and found a comfortable position to continue sleeping.
Lei Tingjun looked at Ji Wanmei's fair face, smaller than his own palm, resting softly in his hand, her peaceful sleeping face and even breathing, and his heart softened.
It felt as if I was soaking in a hot spring, warm and swelling up, and a feeling of satisfaction welled up from the bottom of my heart.
He held Ji Wanmei's cheek with one hand, without complaining of getting tired.
When one hand got soft, he quietly switched to the other.
He braced his long legs against the seat opposite him to support his elbows, then lowered his head, his dark eyes fixed on Ji Wanmei's sleeping face.
I counted her eyelashes one by one.
Lei Tingjun continued to support Ji Wanmei's head, switching from his left hand to his right, until dawn approached and people in the carriage gradually got up to go to the toilet.
Ji Wanmei moved slightly and then turned around.
Lei Tingjun then gently supported her head and carefully moved her back to the other side, letting her lean against Luo Chunyan and continue sleeping.
Lei Tingjun was able to close his eyes and doze off for two hours after dawn.
Even when he was sleeping, he would use his long legs to forcefully wrap around the aisle of the seat, preventing anyone from getting close.
Around seven or eight o'clock, most of the passengers in the carriage had woken up, and the noise began to pick up.
Ji Wanmei and Luo Chunyan also woke up, rubbing their eyes.
Luo Chunyan groaned repeatedly, rubbing the back of her neck and shoulders, and complained, "Sleeping on the train is so agonizing, my neck is about to cramp up."
Ji Wanmei touched her neck and felt that she had slept quite comfortably last night, as if she were resting on a soft pillow, without any stiffness or bumps.
It was much more comfortable than the night I spent on the train on my way here.
She believes it's because she's adaptable; after spending the night on the train twice, she got used to the feeling.
Perhaps I was just too tired these past few days, and I didn't know anything after I fell asleep.
Fortunately, we will arrive in Pingquan County at 2 PM. We just need to endure a few more hours before it ends.
Ji Wanmei asked Luo Chunyan, "We'll be arriving in a few hours. Should we eat this breakfast on the train, or hold off and eat it after we get to Pingquan?"
Luo Chunyan touched her belly and hesitated, saying, "Let's just bear with it for now."
The food on the train was really bad and expensive.
I ate quite a lot of braised food last night, so I'm not very hungry right now.
Ji Wanmei looked at Lei Tingjun opposite her.
Lei Tingjun said, "I'll buy you some instant noodles."
It wasn't that Lei Tingjun couldn't tolerate it; he just didn't want Ji Wanmei to go hungry.
If you skip breakfast, you'll have to skip lunch too.
We didn't arrive at the station until 2 PM.
Ji Wanmei thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, I'm not hungry now. Why don't we talk about it when I get hungry later?"
Lei Tingjun nodded: "Okay."
Ji Wanmei remembered that the older woman from last night was still in the infirmary, and said, "Let's go see that older woman later, I wonder how she is doing."
After she finished washing up in the restroom, she called Lei Tingjun to go to the infirmary with her.
But I learned that the woman had gotten off at the previous stop.
The medical staff member said, "She originally bought a ticket to Pingdong City. She probably got off at a random stop because she was afraid her husband would come looking for her."
“I told her there was a clinic in this town that could perform surgery and the fees weren’t expensive. So she got off the bus here.”
"Before she left, she asked me to tell you that she was grateful for your rescue and that she would repay your life-saving kindness if she had the chance in the future."
