Chapter 225: Is that your husband outside?
"Brother, why have you been staring at me since you got on the bus?"
He Zhiyu muttered softly. If the young comrade had not looked like a handsome boy, he would have thought that his old-fashioned and boring cousin was about to meet true love.
He Zhishu retracted his gaze. The man moved his fingers and looked at the man beside him. He hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Her profile looks a bit like my aunt when she was young."
"You mean Zhuzhu?"
He Zhiyu had just finished speaking when he subconsciously shook his head to deny it.
"Brother, I think you are really confused in the car."
"Zhuzhu has been missing for many years and there has been no news. Besides, Zhuzhu is a girl."
He Zhishu thought of the tiny baby back then and shook his head, thinking that he was just being foolish.
When the child went missing a few years ago, the He family spent money and used their connections to look for him for a long time.
Such a young child, who could not even walk steadily, was taken away by human traffickers and sold as a boy.
The human trafficker was caught, but he refused to reveal the whereabouts of the child.
Everyone in the He family assumed that Zhuzhu was gone.
This was Xu Xiaoyue's second time taking a train. After the first experience, she bought herself a sleeper berth this time and could just cover her head and sleep on the train.
Wake up to your destination.
Her idea was good, but she drank some water when she got on the train, and the train had only been running for two hours when she began to feel the urge to urinate.
Xu Xiaoyue leaned on the quilt. She wanted to ignore it, but she endured it again and again and finally she couldn't bear it anymore.
The girl stuffed the luggage bag in her hand under the bed and pulled the curtain on the berth.
She had physical disabilities and bought the lowest-end bed. She was afraid of being disturbed by others, so the first thing she did when she got on the train was to install bed curtains.
After completing all the preparations, Xu Xiaoyue got up and went to the bathroom.
He Zhishu knew clearly that the young girl couldn't be the little cousin from back then, but when she stood up and passed by him, her eyes still lingered on him, looking at him again and again.
He Zhiyu was no longer surprised by the way his elder brother treated him.
Ever since the little cousin was abducted by human traffickers, everyone in the He family has been heartbroken for a long time.
Over the years, every time his cousin came back from abroad, he brought gifts for the whole family. He even bought a gift for the lost little cousin in private.
He Zhiyu was still young at that time, only two or three years old, and had no feelings for the lost little cousin.
Come to think of it, if the little cousin hadn't been lost, he, the cousin, would have had an engagement with her.
Thinking of this, He Zhiyu closed his eyes and didn't say anything to spoil the fun anymore.
In order to pick up his cousin, he went to the capital specially. He had not even stayed there for a day when he got on the train carrying a lot of bags.
After all this trouble, I'm already exhausted.
He Zhiyu yawned and was about to fall asleep with his eyes closed, but was woken up by his cousin's whack.
"do what?"
The man said this with a bit of irritability.
He Zhishu looked at the watch strap on his wrist and said calmly, "Twenty minutes have passed since he went into the bathroom."
"so what?"
He Zhiyu looked at his cousin with a puzzled expression.
Is it a big deal to go to the bathroom for twenty minutes?
Is it necessary to wake him up specifically to ask him to praise that gay man?
Perhaps the helplessness on He Zhiyu's face was too obvious, so He Zhishu explained: "He went to the bathroom for half an hour. You stay here, I'll go see what's going on."
After saying that, He Zhishu stood up and walked towards the toilet.
Xu Xiaoyue did encounter some problems.
She must have forgotten to check the auspicious day before going out, so she happened to choose a broken toilet door, which was stuck tightly, trapping her inside and unable to get out.
The girl knocked on the bathroom door and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Is anyone there?"
She knocked for a long time, but no one answered her.
When you are unlucky, even drinking water will get stuck in your teeth.
She was stuck in the toilet for half an hour, even though it only took five minutes to go.
Trains of this era don't have emergency buttons. If this continues, Xu Xiaoyue suspects that the train will arrive at the station while she is still in the toilet.
The girl took a deep breath and then started shouting again as if resigned.
He Zhishu searched around the men's restroom but couldn't find any trace of the boy.
The man called the conductor without thinking and told him the whole story, which frightened the conductor.
If human traffickers appear on the train, the train crew will also be held responsible.
Light punishments will result in a disciplinary review, while serious ones will result in job loss.
Looking at the information sheet on the seat, several train attendants were calling Xu Xiaoyue's name in the carriage.
He Zhishu didn't react at first, but when he heard the name Xu Xiaoyue, he realized that she was a lesbian.
He stopped one of the female conductors and pointed to the women's restroom next to him, "Go in and see if there's anyone inside."
The female comrade who was stopped was stunned for a moment, then went in and searched tentatively as the man requested.
When I looked for him, I found that he was really inside.
"Comrade Xu Xiaoyue, right? I finally found you."
The moment the door was opened from the outside, the hope in the conductor's eyes was even stronger than Xu Xiaoyue's.
The frightened girl took two steps back, her hand still on the door handle. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "Yes, it's me."
After hearing the confirmation, the conductor finally let go of her worries. She looked at the door lock and found that it was broken and could only be opened from the outside.
"I'm really sorry that you were locked in the toilet for half an hour due to our negligence. As compensation, I'd like to ask for some snacks to be sent to you on the train."
Xu Xiaoyue was originally quite angry about being locked inside, but when she saw the other party's good attitude, her anger subsided.
"It's all right."
The conductor made room for the girl and said, "That's your husband, right? He cares about you a lot."
"My husband?"
When Xu Xiaoyue heard this, she paused in her steps and her head was buzzing.
Could it be that Yan Ye followed us?
The thought only flashed through her mind for a second before being rejected.
If it was really Yan Ye, he would not have given her the chance to get on the car and would have carried her out long ago.
"I was traveling alone, without any family members."
The girl straightened her expression and explained.
After saying that, she walked under the faucet, spread out her hands and let the water wash over them.
Xu Xiaoyue raised her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror.
Her long black hair was tied up loosely, and her cheeks were red from being in the bathroom just now. She scooped up a handful of water and patted her face to cool down, then tidied up the black hair around her neck before walking out.
He Zhishu couldn't explain why. Even though the conductor had clearly said that the person had been found, he still stood at the door waiting for the girl to come out.
The man took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it when he looked up and saw the girl coming out of the toilet.
