Ji Wanmei sat up, rubbed her shoulders, and said, "I'm not going to sleep anymore. There's still so much time tonight."
The train will arrive in Guangdong tomorrow at noon.
"Are you thirsty? Would you like some water?" Lei Tingjun unscrewed the water bottle and handed it to her.
Ji Wanmei sipped her drink slowly. The radio in her ear had stopped working, probably because it was out of power, so she took the earphones off and put them in her bag.
