Shi Peng looked at the man in front of him in some confusion. From the way he just ignored his mother and children, as if they had nothing to do with each other, he felt that this man was really obsessed with face and was a person who loved to take advantage of others.
I just don't know what he is going to do now or what his purpose is. People like him often don't do anything without benefits.
Shi Peng didn't say anything. He and Xiao Shitou just watched his performance quietly, but they still didn't expect the man in front of them to be so shameless.
Although Shi Peng ignored him, he thought he was not rejecting him, so his expression became even more enthusiastic.
"I can tell you're quite capable. What's your mission in Kyoto this time?"
Without waiting for Shi Peng to answer, he shamelessly sat down on the lower bunk of Little Stone. However, he didn't dare to be too annoying, and just sat on the edge of the bunk. I don't know if he was pretending to be humble or doing it on purpose...
Shi Peng also knew that the man in front of him with a forced smile must have heard his conversation with Xu Tie, and excitedly talked about his plan to transfer to Kyoto. In addition, his rank was not low, so he probably thought that he had some connections or background.
Chu Xi, who was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, now realized the man's purpose. Thinking of the leather bag with the words "Kyoto Textile Factory" printed on it on his seat, she understood that this man was probably a small cadre in the Kyoto Textile Factory. When he heard that Shi Peng wanted to transfer to Kyoto, was he trying to make a good relationship with him, or was he planning something more far-reaching?
I just don't know what news he heard...
I have to say, this guy is really shrewd and is willing to lose face.
In other words, he was born at the wrong time, during an era of social turmoil. If he could live in a peaceful era in the future, he would probably have had enough opportunities to advance in his official career.
Of course, this kind of person is likely to fall into trouble with his own family or his habit of taking advantage of others.
"Sorry, no comment."
Shi Peng retorted directly, not wanting to bother with the man. He turned around and teased Little Stone, taking out some fruits from the small bag on the table.
He was a little curious about how his wife got so many varieties of fruits, but he didn't think too much about it. He just ate them. In his opinion, since he trusted his wife, he should not have any more doubts.
Of course, you could also say this man has a big heart...
The man was still rambling on, asking from time to time where he was going or if he knew anyone.
Seeing that they ignored him, he lowered his voice and the resentment in his eyes gradually disappeared. If Chu Xi hadn't been "staring" at him, he probably wouldn't have thought that she would encounter such a villain again...
It’s not called a bad-tempered physique for nothing, Chu Xi thought with some self-mockery.
Finally, seeing that no one paid any attention to him, the man could only leave in embarrassment. The smile he still managed to maintain was uglier than crying, but his clenched teeth revealed something.
The world was finally quiet. Chu Xi turned over and jumped off the upper bunk. She prepared to get some hot water for the child, and by the way, take a look at the trains of this era and feel the characteristics of the time.
She pretended to pull out the old-fashioned thermos she had bought from the department store from her suitcase. It wasn't that she didn't want to take out the beautiful and exquisite thermos cup from later generations with better heat preservation performance, but she didn't want to attract unnecessary trouble...
For example, if she went to get some hot water now, she had to pass through the area guarded by the bodyguards. Their eagle-like, sharp eyes made the passersby hurry. Although Chu Xi was not afraid of such things, she, having experienced the madness of the apocalypse, could clearly feel the ruthless look that had definitely killed someone...
It’s better not to be too ostentatious. Being ordinary is the real life. Besides, Xiao Shitou and the others are still around, so I’m always a little wary of them.
But when passing by, Chu Xi still smiled and nodded naturally to the old man as a greeting. She still admired these top scholars very much.
Fortunately, the sleeper car was well managed and not completely full, so I walked all the way to the other end without encountering any unusual incidents and was able to retrieve some water and return safely.
