After a moment of silence, another female voice came from the dark bed next to them: "There are only your two older sisters here, no older brother, and no sister-in-law!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an automatic lantern lit up.
The entire room was instantly bathed in soft orange light.
Su Yin saw two young girls, no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, looking at him from their respective beds.
The two looked very similar, both with square faces that exuded righteousness. However, one of them had big, double-lidded eyes and two thick braids that made him look lively. He was the one reading a book with a flashlight in hand.
She lay on the bed, revealing her slender figure.
The other girl had small eyes and wasn't as bright-eyed, but she was slightly chubby and had a charmingly innocent look.
She is sitting up as well.
The girl with big eyes asked, "What bad guy is chasing you?"
The small-eyed man asked, "Why are you being chased?"
Su Yin squatted down on the ground and gave a general account of how she had been framed by Officer Zheng.
After listening, both of them fell into deep thought.
The big-eyed man immediately showed an expression of righteous indignation: "That Zheng clerk is so wicked!"
The small-eyed man seemed to be deep in thought when he asked, "Your name is Su Yin. Are your brothers ordered by gold, silver, bronze, and iron?"
Su Yin nodded: "That's right. I'm the second oldest, with an older brother and two younger brothers."
"Sujin! Suyin! Sutong! Sutie! Right?"
The little-eyed man clapped his hands and laughed, "That saves trouble. It's the same style as naming my dad's brothers. My dad is the eldest, and his name is Xia Dong, which means east in the east, south, west, and north. Guess what his three younger brothers are called?"
When Su Yin heard the name "Xia Dong", she couldn't help but feel a chill—could it be that Xia Dong?
The deputy mayor of Haicheng, the de facto number two, is named Xia Dong.
Su Yin had seen his photo in the newspaper; he also had a dignified, square face, and he bore at least a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to the two sisters.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the small-eyed man lost patience: "So stupid? You can't even guess that? Of course it's—Xia Dong! Xia Nan! Xia Xi! Xia Bei!"
It really was Xia Dong!
Su Yin's heart pounded wildly, and she suddenly felt that she had a way out!
The four Xia brothers are influential figures not only in Haicheng, but throughout Jiang Province.
Xia Nan joined the army and became the youngest general in the entire Jiang Province.
Xia Xi is a scientist who studies physics.
The fourth brother, Xia Bei, is a powerful figure in the upper echelons of Jiang Province.
Su Yin smiled but didn't respond to that.
In the sisters' eyes, his smile was a little shy.
For some reason, both sisters blushed.
Although Su Yin was of low character, he was very handsome and tall and upright, which perfectly matched the mainstream aesthetic at the time. He was a young man who could catch the eye of girls.
He has dated more than twenty girls.
If his family hadn't been so poor and his house so small, Su Yin believed he would have been married and had children long ago.
He made conversation by asking, "Why don't you two girls close the door when you sleep? It's dangerous!"
The girl with big eyes said, "I went to get some hot water and forgot to close the door when I came back."
The man with small eyes took out something and started playing with it, saying, "What are you afraid of? Bad guys? I was just looking for a target!"
In her hand was a genuine Type 59 pistol.
Su Yin felt a chill run from the back of her head straight to her tailbone.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a dignified male voice said, "Open the door, routine inspection!"
The room fell completely silent.
The three of them stared at each other, wide-eyed.
After a few seconds, the girl with big eyes said, "We're all girls, and we've all taken off our clothes to sleep!"
The man outside didn't give up: "I'll give you one minute to get dressed!"
The small-eyed man retorted angrily, "Are you sick? I already said I was going to sleep!"
The man outside persisted: "One minute isn't enough? Then two minutes it is! I'll knock again in two minutes! It's a routine check, please cooperate!"
Su Yin felt her whole body stiffen.
Suddenly, a pair of warm, soft little hands grabbed his.
They have small eyes.
She pulled me along, gesturing with her eyes for me to lie down on her bed.
Su Yin did as instructed and lay down inside against the wall.
Little Eyes covered him with the blanket.
Su Yin was very tall, lying on the small sleeper berth, with only her head and feet showing.
The little-eyed man brought two more travel bags, placing one on his head and the other on his feet.
It was covered up completely.
Then, she got into bed herself, lay down next to Su Yin, and covered herself with the blanket.
Su Yin smelled the fragrance emanating from the small-eyed woman's body, and amidst her nervousness, she felt a little confused and infatuated.
Then, the small-eyed and big-eyed people exchanged a glance, and the big-eyed person opened the door to the private room.
Outside the door stood a railway police officer, accompanied by the two young men from the Revolutionary Committee.
Su Yin could see the three of them through the gap in the travel bag.
He felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen.
The three of them shone their flashlights around randomly.
The girl with big eyes, hands on her hips, yelled, "What are you taking pictures of?! My sister is asleep, she's not wearing a coat, stop taking these fucking pictures! Are you hooligans?"
The police officer gestured for the two to put away their flashlights, his face stern: "Identity!"
The man with the big eyes pulled out his ID and handed it over: "Here! Mine and my sister's!"
The train police officer saw her identification and immediately stood at attention: "Are you military personnel?"
"What's wrong? Doesn't it look like it?"
The woman with big eyes said irritably, "What are you checking for so late at night? Are you deliberately trying to keep me from getting a good night's sleep? Have you seen enough? If you have, then get out!"
