Chapter 5 First Encounter
Gu Yu had already woken up when Yan Ming was talking, but he was still sleeping restlessly outside and was flipping through a book to kill time.
A soft voice came into his ears.
The fingertips that were turning the pages of the book paused for a moment, then he looked in the direction of the sound.
The girl was stunningly beautiful, her complexion was like the purest porcelain, delicate and flawless, exuding a fresh and refined aura.
But every move she made while speaking seemed lively and charming.
Her face, just waking up, showed a subtle blush.
She climbed down from the bed nimbly, her slender figure charming and graceful, displayed charmingly in Gu Yu's dark eyes.
Lin's mother came from a wealthy family when she was young, and she paid great attention to the nutritional balance of diet, so Xiuzhu has developed better than girls of the same age.
The main reason is that the living conditions of every household in this era were not very good, and the nutrition was not enough, which naturally led to the developmental problems of girls.
The sunlight shines through the gap in the car window onto the girl's face, making her skin look whiter and tenderer.
She raised her slender hands, held a cookie, slowly opened her cherry-red lips, and tasted it carefully.
The girl enjoyed the delicious food, her eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of her mouth curled up.
Gu Yu looked at Xiuzhu with his eyes slightly narrowed.
This kind of beauty displays both purity and desire to the extreme. Even with rich life experience over the years, one is still amazed by the girl's beauty.
However, it is human nature to appreciate beautiful things, especially at his age when full of vigor and vitality.
She's just a little girl, so I can only admire her. Although he is not a good person, he is not a beast either.
His eyes fell on the pages of the book that had fallen to the ground, and he continued to read the words on it as if nothing had happened.
As for how much he saw, I'm afraid only he himself knows.

"Xiuzhu, I'm going to get some food. You stay in the carriage and don't go out. If you want to go to the toilet, wait until I come back." After Yan Ming gave the instructions, he strode towards the door.
"Okay Uncle Yan, I won't go out alone. Please give me more meat and vegetables. I'm so hungry!"
Her voice is always so delicate, like the sound of gurgling water in a brook, crisp and pleasant.
Chen Yuling was leaning on the bed. She heard the noise coming from the opposite side, looked up, and when she saw the girl's face, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
The girl opposite is not very old, but she looks like a vixen.
If I remember correctly, she seemed very young, but her figure was no worse than mine, and her voice was also coquettish and flirtatious.
And that dark-faced burly man had a different surname from hers, but he was so considerate to her.
They are sitting in soft sleeper at such a young age. I wonder if there is some dirty relationship between them?
She couldn't help but speculate the most vicious thoughts.
Taking advantage of the absence of the dark-faced sturdy man, Chen Yuling smiled and looked at the girl tentatively, "Comrade, hello, my name is Chen Yuling. I just heard Comrade Chen introduce you as uncle and nephew, but it seems that you don't have the same surname."
Xiuzhu then looked up at the two new passengers in the compartment, a man and a woman.
The woman she was talking to was sitting on the bed opposite her and seemed quite kind.
Hearing the question, she stopped eating snacks, slowly swallowed the food in her mouth, and replied: "Hello, my name is Lin Xiuzhu, Uncle Yan is my father's friend."
Chen Yuling frowned, obviously not satisfied with the answer, and continued to ask, "He is so nice to you. He even reminded us to keep our voices down so as not to disturb your sleep."
"He's better than my own uncle. He must have booked the sleeper ticket for you."
Xiuzhu is indeed not a very cunning person, but she is extremely impatient with outsiders. She doesn't like to chat, especially about her own affairs.
Even if she meets someone who is particularly suitable for her, she will only talk about a few things that interest her.
Now she was not in a good mood and had no desire to continue chatting with the girl opposite.
Due to my upbringing, I simply replied: "Then your uncle is really mean to you."
The space in the box was so small that Gu Yu could hear the conversation between the two.
The cunning female comrade said "we", and Gu Yu was dissatisfied with her behavior of taking the initiative to bring himself in.
But he was too lazy to speak up about these little things.
Then he heard the girl named Xiuzhu's answer, which was obviously losing her patience. He pursed his lips, and the laughter that he had been holding back for a long time finally overflowed from his mouth.
I really didn't expect that this girl with delicate looks could speak so chokingly.
Xiuzhu heard a slight laugh and looked over, and the two people's eyes met.
She didn't expect to meet such an outstanding looking man on the train, even more handsome than the stars she had seen in her previous life.
The man with narrow and long eyes, and a casual and lazy temperament, sat on the edge of the bed.
He casually ripped open two buttons on his shirt, and rolled up his cuffs to above his forearm joints. His muscles were full and his lines were clear, like a work of art carefully carved by a sculptor.
But whether he was good-looking or not had nothing to do with her. What mattered to her now was that he was probably making fun of her just now.
Xiuzhu was a little unhappy about being laughed at. She pouted her cherry lips and glared at him in reproach.
Gu Yu's heart beat faster because of the glare the girl gave him just now, and an unprecedented feeling surged in his heart.
The fingers on the book moved slightly, and I thought of a cute and fierce kitten that my grandmother raised when I was a child. It made me feel itchy and I wanted to reach out and stroke its fur.
The space was too small. Chen Yuling also heard the man's laughter. Her face turned red. Anger instantly surged in her heart, and she felt even more disgusted with Xiuzhu.
But she always hid her emotions, and her voice was as gentle as ever: "Comrade Lin is joking."
Xiuzhu was too lazy to pay attention to the two strangers and continued to eat her cookies, butcher shop, and salted peanuts...
Its mouth is bulging with food, like a little hamster.
Gu Yu wanted to pinch her even more as he watched. He was afraid of being mistaken for a hooligan and scaring the little girl to tears, so he quickly restrained himself and looked away to divert his attention.
After a long time, Yan Ming finally pushed the door open and came in.
Xiuzhu's eyes lit up instantly. She took a deep breath. The fragrance seemed to have magical power, making the corners of her mouth unconsciously rise slightly.
"Uncle Yan, you're back. What took you so long?"
"Let me see what delicious food there is. I don't know what the food on the train tastes like." The cherry-red little mouth chattered non-stop.
"It's past dinner time now, but our Xiuzhu is lucky. There is only one portion of each meat dish left."
"There was an old lady behind me with her daughter-in-law who kept swearing at me and insisted that I give up the meat. The swearing was so nasty."
"Seeing how wicked she is, I'm too lazy to give her any. Just take it and eat it." Yan Ming couldn't control his anger when he mentioned this.
He handed the lunch box carefully to Xiuzhu.
Xiuzhu didn't care about these little episodes.
She opened her portion with anticipation. There were two dishes in total, scrambled eggs with cucumber slices and braised pork, with rice as the staple food.
The braised pork pieces are plump and bright red in color, as if each piece is soaked in rich sauce.
I sniffed it with my little nose and it tasted delicious.
She turned to look at Yan Ming's portion, which only contained shredded potatoes and two kinds of rice, which was extremely shabby compared to her meal.
Yan Ming earns 50 yuan a month, which is considered a considerable income.
But there are four children to raise at home and the monthly expenses are very high, so he is usually very frugal.
Xiuzhu turned her head nonchalantly, picked up a piece of braised pork with unused cutlery, and said critically, "The meat is so fatty, how can I eat it? I don't like fatty meat."
"Oh, it's shameful to waste food. What can I do?"
"Fat meat is so delicious. I specially asked for it for you. Look at your thin arms and legs. Eat more so that you can grow stronger." Yan Ming advised earnestly.
"No, I just can't eat it. And I can't eat all the food I killed. I don't care. We can't waste food. You can eat what you killed for me."
Xiuzhu was in a bad mood, but she quickly put two-thirds of the braised pork into Yan Ming's lunch box, and also quickly put half of the rice and two large eggs.
Yan Ming's tableware had already been moved. Knowing that Xiuzhu was particular, he could only helplessly accept the dish that was brought to him.
I realized belatedly that Xiuzhu felt sorry for her uncle and almost shed tears.
