Chapter 211 Too Late
Although he suggested that she rest on this berth, she knew very well that she would never rest on the berth. After all, everyone was sitting on hard seats, and only people like Fu Yanlin could enjoy such treatment.
Therefore, Qiao Jin quickly followed him out and followed closely behind his back.
She was thinking about how to talk to him, but she didn't say a word. She just followed him quietly.
Just as Fu Yanlin was about to return to his seat, a little girl blocked his way.
The little girl had a shy look on her face, holding a sticky dumpling in her hand, as if she was signaling something to him.
After saying a few simple words, Fu Yanlin nodded slightly in response, and then the girl quickly stuffed the glutinous rice ball into Fu Yanlin's hand, then turned and ran away, with the blush on her face still clearly visible.
Qiao Jin stood silently not far away, watching all this, with a hint of confusion between his brows.
Then she adjusted her expression, trying to appear natural, and slowly walked to Fu Yanlin's side.
Sensing her arrival, Fu Yanlin gently moved his body to make enough space for her to sit down.
When Qiao Jin sat next to him, she couldn't help but look up at Fu Yanlin, who was resting with his eyes closed. She saw that he was still tightly holding the glutinous rice ball he had just received.
She stared at his peaceful profile for a while, feeling mixed emotions.
Finally, she pursed her lips, turned her head, and cast her gaze at the world outside the window.
As time passed, she fell asleep without knowing when.
I only vaguely remember hearing the roar of the train, and the passengers around me immediately became excited. Everyone picked up their luggage and couldn't wait to get off the train: "We've finally arrived in the provincial capital. Our butts are numb from sitting all the way here. It's really not easy."
Someone jokingly chimed in: "You feel numb after sitting for such a short distance? It seems you still lack exercise."
The person being mocked retorted: "I can't compare to your iron butt. I am just an ordinary citizen. How can I be as strong as you!"
Everyone walked under the car with happy smiles, and at this time Qiao Jin also woke up.
When she opened her eyes again, she unexpectedly found a white glutinous rice ball in her hand.
Fu Yanlin was busy packing his luggage and preparing to leave the car. Seeing this, Qiao Jin handed him the glutinous rice ball in her hand: "Fu Yanlin, your glutinous rice ball."
Fu Yanlin just glanced at it lightly, frowning slightly: "I already have enough things in my hands now, just help me hold this."
Only then did she notice that Fu Yanlin not only brought his own belongings, but also hers...
Lowering her head and glancing at the glutinous rice ball in her hand, Qiao Jin could only accept his "kindness" and help him keep it temporarily.
Finally getting off the train, when Qiao Jin set foot on this strange land, she found that the atmosphere here was full of the accumulation of years.
Compared to the modern Kyoto, this place seems more ancient and heavy.
Many ancient buildings still retain traces left by their predecessors, and all kinds of red posters can be seen everywhere on the loess brick walls.
Moreover, the temperature here is obviously a few degrees higher than that in Kyoto, and the sunlight is more dazzling.
Following Fu Yanlin's footsteps, the two headed towards their destination, the provincial capital base.
As one of the newly joined team members, when they left the station, a special vehicle was waiting there, which would take everyone to the training camp for closed military training.
Just as he was about to get on the car, Lin Qiaosheng mustered up his courage, secretly glanced at Qiao Jin beside him, and then his eyes stayed on her for a short while.
Suddenly, as if he had made some important decision, he took a deep breath and spoke firmly...
"Qiao Jin, one day I will become the person who makes your heart beat!"
For a young person full of youthful enthusiasm, at this age, their hearts are full of courage and passion, and they often don’t care about the comments and opinions of others.
What they really worry about is that their inner feelings are not expressed appropriately.
Lin Qiaosheng's bold confession surprised and made a lot of noise among the people around him. One of his teammates shouted, "Lin Qiaosheng, you are a very ambitious young man. You don't forget about love even when you are training!"
These words fell into Qiao Jin's ears, making her feel very embarrassed.
Her face turned red, and she seemed to want to find a hole to crawl into to hide her shyness and uneasiness at the moment.
When she looked up to find Fu Yanlin, she found that he had left his original position alone and walked several meters forward.
Obviously, he had no intention of waiting, but chose to quickly leave the scene which made him feel uncomfortable.
By the time Qiao Jin reacted, Fu Yanlin had already walked a farther distance away.
His back gradually became blurred in the crowd, and his steps were firm and fast, as if he didn't want to stay even for another second.
After realizing this, Qiao Jin quickly quickened his pace, trying to catch up with the gradually moving away figure, hoping to catch up with the other party as soon as possible.
Not only Qiao Jin was following behind, but two other girls, Lin Zhiwan and Li Rongrong, also sped up, trying to keep in formation and not fall behind.
At this time, Li Rongrong carefully observed Qiao Jin who was walking in front of her, scanning her from her hair to her shoes. "Hey, who is this new Qiao Jin? Why is she so popular? Look at the way those boys look at her. They almost want to sell their souls to her."
Then, she continued to look at the other person with a scrutinizing eye, and added, "And look at the way she dresses, it's obvious that she is the kind of woman who knows how to attract other people's attention. Dear Zhiwan, we have to be careful. The glutinous rice cake you worked so hard to make has now been taken away by this young lady without any hesitation. What if one day she falls in love with our beloved Captain Fu? Don't blame me for not reminding you then."
Although he had some resentment towards Qiao Jin in his heart, he pretended nothing had happened on the surface.
After hearing what her friend said, Lin Zhiwan simply replied, "Rongrong, let's get the things done first. The art troupe is probably waiting for us to report. If we are late, we might miss out."
Facing her good friend's seemingly indifferent but obviously emotional answer, Li Rongrong couldn't help but sigh, and then said seriously what she was thinking: "Dear Zhiwan, I know you are always so kind and easy to talk to. But when it comes to things like feelings, you must not be too weak. If you do nothing now, do you really want to wait until that woman abducts our Marshal Fu? It will be too late to regret then."
