When the train arrived at the station, the two of them successfully boarded the train heading south.
Lan Guoer has now adapted to the speed of traffic in this era.
Because it was a soft sleeper, the two of them talked and chatted all the way. If there was nothing else, they would eat something and take a nap. It was quite comfortable and relaxed.
In the evening, accompanied by a slight vibration and a long whistle, the train slowly entered Hunan Province.
As the train gradually slowed down, it finally stopped at the platform.
"One more stop forward!"
Ye Yuanyuan stretched and looked out the window. "It looks like this train won't be late. We should arrive tomorrow morning!"
Lan Guoer looked at the passengers getting on and off the train in a hurry on the platform and nodded.
"Yeah, if we sleep one more night, we'll be at our destination too!"
"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"
Just then, someone knocked on their carriage door.
The two looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
This is their independent soft sleeper compartment, so generally no one will come to disturb them.
"It should be the conductor, right?" Ye Yuanyuan guessed and stood up to open the door.
"Brother? Am I dreaming?"
The moment the door opened, Ye Yuanyuan thought she was hallucinating!
How come she saw her elder brother here?
She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes vigorously twice, then looked at the man in front of her again.
Who else could this be but her tall, handsome and incredibly smart elder brother!
She jumped for joy, put her arms around Ye Jingnan's neck, and hung on him like a koala.
"Ah! Big brother! It's really you! Why are you here? I'm so happy to see you, so happy!"
Ye Jingnan looked at the little sister in front of him helplessly, and raised his eyes to glance inside the car intentionally or unintentionally.
After hearing Ye Yuanyuan's screams, Lan Guoer no longer had any doubt about who was coming!
At this moment, she was looking out the door, watching the interaction between the brother and sister.
When their eyes met, Lan Guoer always felt that there was something strange about the way this man looked at her, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
It's not malicious anyway!
Ye Jingnan looked deeply at Lan Guoer in the carriage, then lowered his eyes to look at the human-shaped pendant in front of him.
"How grown up are you? You're still acting like a kid. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Ye Yuanyuan reluctantly got off him and led him inside, still talking non-stop.
"Brother, you're still answering me! Why are you here? Where are you going? Are you going home too?"
Ye Jingnan sat down opposite Lan Guoer, put the snacks in his hand on the small table in the middle, and then replied,
"There's a project here that needs our assistance, so I came here! After I'm done with it, I'll have a week off, so I can go back and spend time with you."
In fact, there was no need for a chief engineer of his caliber to personally handle the work here! Any of his staff could easily handle it.
If he hadn't persuaded his old leader for an entire night and even made him promise to complete the work at hand six months ahead of schedule, the old leader would not have let him go!
As for why he had to come out?
Of course it was because of Ye Yuanyuan asking him to book the train ticket!
When he learned that Lan Guoer was going to Guangdong Province with his younger sister, his soul seemed to follow them!
At work, I can't stand or sit, and I can't concentrate on anything I do!
He just happened to have such an opportunity to slip away, how could he bear to miss it!
It’s even more so when you come here!
What would have taken a week to accomplish, he managed to compress it into just one day and solve all the problems!
The leader here just wanted to curse at his subordinates when he looked at them one by one! This person is really infuriating!
Why doesn’t he have such a capable person under his command?
"That's great!" Ye Yuanyuan sat beside him and took his arm affectionately.
"Mom complained to me on the phone a few days ago, saying that the last time you went back home, you only stayed at home for a week before being called back by your company!
She was originally thinking of introducing you to someone, but she didn't have time!"
Hearing Ye Yuanyuan mention dating, Ye Jingnan subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Lan Guoer! Seeing that she was flipping through the pages of the book in her hand and didn't seem to pay attention to the conversation between the two siblings, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's the point of dating?" He raised his hand and poked Ye Yuanyuan's forehead, his eyes full of disdain. "If I, your brother, really want to find a partner, do I really need my family to introduce me to someone?"
"Hehe, that's right! With my brother's looks and brains, whoever he falls in love with is a blessing!" As she spoke, she raised an eyebrow at Lan Guoer, "Guoer, don't you think so?"
Ye Jingnan never thought that Ye Yuanyuan would throw this question to Lan Guoer!
But at this moment, he was more concerned about her answer!
Under the table, his palms clenched tightly and tightly! It seemed that he had never encountered such a nervous moment since he was a child.
Although Lan Guo'er was reading, her mental strength was extraordinary! The conversation between the brother and sister did not escape her ears.
Hearing Ye Yuanyuan raise such a question, her tone was obviously asking for approval, so she nodded and responded casually,
"Your future sister-in-law is indeed very lucky."
Ye Jingnan had been paying attention to her expression. When he saw her say this calmly, his brows slightly frowned, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart!
Future sister-in-law? Does that mean his wife? She really doesn't care about him at all!
He knew clearly that Lan Guoer was married and even had a child!
But for some reason, he just wouldn't give up! He always felt that he still had a glimmer of hope.
But her answer just now, although it was a compliment to himself, it actually poured a bucket of cold water on the little flame burning in his heart!
"Humph! What sister-in-law?! There's not even a clue about her fate, how can she be called a sister-in-law?"
There was a hint of self-mockery in his tone.
"People like us who are out here won't be able to go home for years, so how can we even have the right to date? It's better for us to just focus on research and avoid causing trouble for other girls."
"Brother, what are you talking about!"
Seeing that he was acting so unruly again, Ye Yuanyuan glanced at him sideways and said, "Do you mean you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life? Stop it now!"
Even if you want to, mom and I won't agree! I'm still waiting to hold my adorable little nephew in my arms!"
Ye Jingnan obviously didn't want to continue this topic and pointed to the cakes on the table.
"This pastry is said to be very famous in Hunan Province. You can try it and see if it tastes good. If it does, I'll have my colleagues here mail it to you later."
As he said that, he took out a piece and handed it to Lan Guoer.
