Chapter 37 My legs are numb

"Hello, comrade. My lover is in the car."

The conductor looked inside the car when he heard this, and Shen Zhiyou quickly waved at him: "I'm here."

The conductor then let him on board.

In addition to the clothes, there was also the dowry that Grandma Shen gave them when they got married, including a large quilt to cover themselves in winter. The luggage was not light.

Even Gu Ye was sweating.

There was dust on his face from being squeezed in the crowd.

After sitting down, the man panted slightly, "You weren't squeezed by anyone, were you?"

Shen Zhiyou's eyes suddenly felt sore, and she took out the handkerchief that Chen Cuijuan had prepared for them and wiped the dust marks off his face: "No, wipe it off and drink some water."

"good."

Gu Ye took the kettle, unscrewed the cap, drank some water and put it away.

Then he took a handkerchief and wiped the dust and sweat off his face.

While he was doing this, Shen Zhiyou kept looking at him.

From the moment she discovered that the world she lived in was a book, she clung to Gu Ye tightly. Compared to the dependence of an ordinary wife on her husband, she was more eager to grasp at a life-saving straw.

Later, as she watched Gu Ye care more and more about her, Shen Zhiyou felt more relieved.

Even the quarrel I had with him before getting the marriage certificate yesterday was mostly because the string in my head had been tense for too long.

It was not until this moment, seeing him squeezing around like this and the first thing he did after getting on the bus was to ask her if she was squeezed, that Shen Zhiyou truly realized that they were husband and wife.

It's not just a lifeline that she uses to escape the plot temporarily.

But to be the husband with whom I will spend my whole life.

"And ash?"

Gu Ye noticed her gaze and thought that her face had not been wiped clean yet.

"No, I wiped it clean."

"OK."

The bus from the city to the provincial capital railway station takes most of the day, and if everything goes well it will arrive at 1:00 p.m.

As soon as Gu Ye told her to sleep against him for a while, he noticed that she was a little upset and her eyes were red.

The man's heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his voice and asked her if she was afraid because it was her first time traveling far away.

Shen Zhiyou shook her head and then nodded.

The seat backs were very high and the journey took four or five hours. Everyone was doing their own thing and no one paid attention to them.

Shen Zhiyou leaned her face on his arm and said, "I'm a little scared. This is my first time traveling far away. If you don't take good care of me, I'll complain to my mom!"

Gu Ye: “…”

I have always known how high my wife's status is in the family.

Chen Cuijuan and the others' performance this morning refreshed Gu Ye's understanding.

Not only Chen Cuijuan and Shen Dahe, but even Shen Guoqiang and Shen Guowang stood up to see her off.

Given how nervous Chen Cuijuan and the others were about Shen Zhiyou, Gu Ye didn't dare to imagine what they would do if his wife complained to them.

"No."

Shen Zhiyou snorted twice.

I just wanted to do it for a bit, but as soon as I leaned on his arm, I immediately felt sleepy.

"I'll take a nap. Call me when you get here."

"Well, go to sleep."

It was all thanks to Chen Cuijuan who woke them up early in the morning. Not long after the car started, they both fell asleep.

Gu Ye used to sleep against a tree when he was training in the wild. Sleeping in the car was much more comfortable than sleeping in the wild, and he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

Shen Zhiyou’s sleeping posture is quite bad.

When we set out, I slept leaning on his arm.

While waiting for the train to the provincial capital railway station, she laid her entire upper body on Gu Ye's legs.

Gu Ye was afraid that she would slip while sleeping, so he used his arms to protect her.

"We've arrived at the final train station! Everyone wake up! Get off the train!"

Shen Zhiyou suddenly woke up and quickly sat up, "Get out of the car quickly."

Gu Yemu said with a frown, "My legs are numb, let me relax for a while."

Shen Zhiyou blushed.

Why are my legs numb? It’s because she pressed on me.

After a while, they got out of the car.

Gu Ye took the luggage off the luggage rack, walked to the waiting room of the train station and found a seat to sit down. Their train still had more than an hour to go.

It was Shen Zhiyou’s first time to come to the train station, and she looked around curiously.

The white waiting room has a green waistline and three big red words "Waiting Room" are posted on the doors on both sides.

The room is neatly arranged in two rows of white wooden benches.

Some were waiting while sitting, and some were waiting while lying down.

Not far from the waiting room door stood a uniformed staff member with a red armband on his sleeve and holding a loud speaker to maintain order.

The door was wide open, but there were too many people.

It's a hot day now, and the waiting room is not very ventilated. The stench of sweat is mixed with the smell of various foods, and even the smell of children's feces and urine. The smell is really hard to describe.

It was also very noisy, with people coming and going, and the staff would hold up a loudspeaker every once in a while to remind everyone to keep an eye on their bags.

"The bus will be here soon. There's a toilet over there. Do you want to go?"

Shen Zhiyou shook her head. "I'm not going. You go ahead. I'll stay here and watch over the luggage."

She didn't dare eat or drink outside for fear of having to go to the toilet halfway.

Gu Ye nodded: "Then wait for me here for a while, until I come back."

"Um."

As soon as Gu Ye left, a male comrade sitting in front of them turned around and asked her with a smile: "Comrade, was that your lover just now? He looked like a soldier."

Before leaving, Gu Ye told her that there were many people at the train station and on the train, and there were also many thieves and human traffickers.

When someone came up to talk to her, Shen Zhiyou immediately sounded the alarm, nodded, and acted like she didn't want to talk any more.

The man was not surprised by Shen Zhiyou's reaction, he smiled and turned back.

Men go to the toilet quickly.

Gu Ye came back soon. Seeing someone talking to Shen Zhiyou, he immediately quickened his pace and sat down next to her.

"Are you tired?"

“Not tired, but a little hot.”

The waiting room was too stuffy, but it was even hotter outside.

As soon as they got off the car, they found that the provincial capital was even hotter than their countryside.

Shen Zhiyou sat inside for a while and began to sweat.

Not to mention Gu Ye, his clothes were already soaked.

Shen Zhiyou asked Gu Ye to take out the palm-leaf fan, intending to fan herself with it. However, as soon as Gu Ye took it out, he started to fan himself very consciously.

The breeze from the palm-leaf fan made me feel much more comfortable instantly.

"How long will the train ride take?"

"Sleep all night and it will be there tomorrow morning."

Get a good night's sleep!

Shen Zhiyou's eyes widened. "It's so far."

That's not two days on the road.

No wonder Gu Ye rarely came back before.

It was very tiring to go back and forth like this.

"Almost. I bought a sleeper ticket. I'll sleep well and it'll be quick."

He used to buy hard seats, and after sitting for a whole night, his whole body almost fell apart.

But to take her with him, Gu Ye bought a sleeper ticket without a second thought.

Sleeper ticket.

Are there beds on that train?

The first time she went out, Shen Zhiyou was curious about everything, but she wanted to save face and was afraid that others would laugh at her for being a country bumpkin. Her eyes widened with shock, but she didn't ask.

Silently remember what you have seen and heard along the way.

When the time comes, I will write a letter back to tell Chen Cuijuan. I will tell you how much she will love reading it!
