Chapter 359 Tonight is destined to be sleepless
Cheng Xuyuan felt a little pain in his teeth when he heard what this elder brother said.
He was preparing for a divorce, and someone actually asked him if he was planning a wedding trip. This was a big misunderstanding! However, what he noticed most was Shen Yumo's expression.
Noticing that Shen Yumo seemed to be lost in thought, he smiled and said, "Just coming out for a walk, haha!"
Fortunately, the middle-aged couple were not that curious. After chatting for a few minutes, they started to eat.
After breakfast, the two returned to the carriage again.
I don’t know if it was because of the seats Wen agreed to, but even though the train stopped from time to time, there were always only the two of them in the compartment.
Compared with the box in the morning, the box at noon seemed a bit chaotic.
However, the sunlight that shines through does not interfere with studying and reading.
Cheng Xuyuan took out a novel he brought with him, flipped through it for a few seconds, and then lost interest.
It’s not that the novel is poorly written, it’s just that too many things are stored in the memories of the previous life.
He just flipped through the novel twice and found that the content of the novel was in his memory.
With his eyes closed, the novel emerged in his mind word by word.
It was really boring, so Cheng Xuyuan looked towards Shen Yumo, and saw that Shen Yumo was flipping through some manuscripts with a very focused look.
"Do I need to review manuscripts even when I'm on a business trip?" Cheng Xuyuan asked casually.
"I didn't need to, but I have nothing to do, so I just read it." Shen Yumo looked up at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Why don't you read?"
“I don’t like the content of the book very much.”
Cheng Xuyuan said casually: "Someone invited me to be an intern editor. Why not let me review the manuscripts and see if it is difficult."
Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment, but still took out a few manuscripts and handed them to Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan read a few manuscripts and frowned slightly.
It’s not that these manuscripts were not to his liking, but the quality of these manuscripts was really hard for him to describe.
Shen Yumo noticed the change in Cheng Xuyuan's expression. She smiled and said, "Do you think some of the manuscripts are not of good quality?"
"In fact, as an editor, you have to find the gold from the sand."
"At the very least, we need to find the gold that can be processed."
"You think that all authors are like you and don't need to revise what they write."
Hearing Shen Yumo say this, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "It seems that being an editor is not easy."
"That's natural. After all, encountering a genius author is just an exception. It's normal to encounter a manuscript that needs to be revised."
As the two people talked and chatted, time passed little by little.
However, this day made Cheng Xuyuan feel quite depressed.
A train ride of more than 30 hours is really exhausting.
Even though Cheng Xuyuan had made a lot of preparations in advance, he was still feeling a little annoyed at this moment.
At dinner time, Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yumo went to the dining car together. Coincidentally, when they sat down, the middle-aged couple they met in the morning happened to sit next to them.
The middle-aged man smiled at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Brother, it's really a coincidence that our two families meet again."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Yes, it really is fate."
The middle-aged man was holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and it seemed that he was going to have a couple of drinks on the dining car.
But drinking alone is really meaningless.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan at this time, he smiled and said: "Meeting is fate, brother, let's drink together. Drinking alone is really boring."
According to Cheng Xuyuan's personality, he usually doesn't like to drink with strangers.
But after being bored on the train for a whole day, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll order two more dishes."
"Hey, let me cook the food." said the middle-aged man with a smile.
Cheng Xuyuan said firmly: "Brother, since you took the wine, of course the dish has to be mine."
"Otherwise, we won't be able to drink!"
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan's insistence, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite."
On the dining car, individual stir-fry dishes are a bit more expensive than in a normal restaurant.
However, Cheng Xuyuan didn't care too much about money, so he quickly ordered a serving of peanuts and a plate of stir-fried lotus root with shredded pork as a side dish.
The middle-aged woman looked at her husband and Cheng Xuyuan who were about to drink, but did not stop them.
She smiled at Shen Yumo and said, "Sister, all men are like this. They like to have a couple of drinks whenever they have nothing to do!"
"They drink theirs, and we talk about ours."
It's really nice to have a drink on the train.
From the conversation, Cheng Xuyuan learned that the middle-aged man's surname was Min, and he was the deputy director of a state-owned factory. This time he brought his wife back to his hometown to visit relatives.
As a deputy in a state-owned factory, the man held a high position, so he lived in a sleeper car not far from Cheng Xuyuan and his friends.
Cheng Xuyuan did not deliberately conceal his identity, but he did not publicize it either. He just said that he was an editor of a magazine in Yanjing.
The two of them didn't talk about their work, they just chatted about everything under the sun, and they got along very well.
Director Min was indeed brought up at the wine table. After drinking half a bottle of wine, although his face was a little flushed, he was extremely sober.
Cheng Xuyuan was different. Although he could drink a lot, he felt a little dizzy after drinking so much.
"Brother, we are going to different places. I may have to get off at three or four in the middle of the night."
After drinking a bottle of wine, the relationship between the two people has obviously improved a lot. Director Min put his arm around Cheng Xuyuan's shoulders and said with emotion: "Brother, when you come to our factory, you must find me and we can have a good drink again."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Min, I should be back in Yanjing in half a month."
"When you get to Yanjing, you can find me at Yanjing Publishing House. I can't do anything else, but I can still take care of a meal."
After chatting for a few minutes, the two of them returned to their respective boxes.
When he arrived at the box, Cheng Xuyuan discovered that Shen Yumo was not the only one in the box. Director Min's wife was also there, chatting with Shen Yumo while eating melon seeds.
Apparently, it is also very speculative.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan staggering over, Madam Min said with a hint of blame: "This old Min likes to make people drunk when he drinks."
"I'll give him a good scolding later!"
"Yumo, your husband is back, so I should leave now."
"I'll go check on how our old Min is drinking."
When Shen Yumo heard what your husband said, he blushed and stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, you go and get busy first."
"When you get to Yanjing, you must look for me."
Madam Min agreed and walked out of the private room, but when she passed by Cheng Xuyuan, she said, "Xiao Cheng, you really married a good wife!"
"Such a good wife is hard to find even with a lantern!"
Although Cheng Xuyuan was drunk, his mind was still clear. He smiled at Mrs. Min and said nothing more.
After Madam Min left, Shen Yumo looked at the drunken Cheng Xuyuan, picked up the thermos and poured a glass of water for Cheng Xuyuan, saying, "You've had some wine, drink more water."
"Thank you. I'm fine."
Cheng Xuyuan picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, then said, "I'll rest first. We should be there by dawn."
Shen Yumo said: "Go to sleep, I will call you when we get there."
Although Cheng Xuyuan wanted to say something else, he was already drunk and wanted to run to his upper bunk immediately.
However, due to drinking, his movements seemed a little clumsy.
Shen Yumo looked at Cheng Xuyuan and was afraid that he would fall, so he hurriedly said, "I asked the attendant today, and he said that there will be basically no one in our compartment before we get off the train."
"You can sleep down there."
When Cheng Xuyuan heard this, he didn't insist and just lay down on the bed.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was sleeping soundly, a hint of relief flashed in Shen Yumo's eyes.
If he drank too much, he wouldn't have to feel as embarrassed as he did last night.
Sitting on his bed, Shen Yumo, who couldn't read books and manuscripts, unconsciously looked at Cheng Xuyuan's face.
This is a young and handsome face. She used to be so familiar with this face, but now, it seems a little strange to her.
The owner of this face will soon have nothing to do with me anymore.
As her thoughts flashed, the scenes that happened in Chengjiazhuang Brigade in those years came to her mind.
It’s just a pity that we can never go back.
The noise of the train turned silent as the sky gradually darkened.
Shen Yumo, who had been in deep thought for who knows how long, suddenly came to Cheng Xuyuan's side silently.
She looked at the man who was soundly sleeping, and suddenly asked out the question that had been in her heart but she had never dared to ask.
He couldn't hear it anyway.
"If I want to live a good life with you, is it too late now?"
Shen Yumo spoke this in a low voice, and it was even harder to hear outside due to the noise of the train.
However, when he said this, Shen Yumo felt relieved.
Because she felt that she had said what was in her heart in front of Cheng Xuyuan.
The answer is definitely yes, but I have already said it.
This is also a kind of comfort.
Just as Shen Yumo thought, Cheng Xuyuan was still sleeping soundly and did not respond to his questions.
This made Shen Yumo feel relieved, but at the same time, he also felt a little depressed.
But nothing can go back to the way it was before.
The moonlight was bright, and I don't know when it came in through the car window.
Cheng Xuyuan's face seemed vague in the moonlight.
Looking at the sleeping Cheng Xuyuan, Shen Yumo knew that this should be the last time he and Cheng Xuyuan would have such an intimate contact.
As if possessed by a ghost, she gently placed her hand on Cheng Xuyuan's face.
This man once belonged to her.
But soon it no longer belonged to her.
The relationship between the two from now on can only be friends at most!
Thinking of the word "friend", Shen Yumo felt a little sad in his heart, but this matter was all because of herself.
Unconsciously, a tear fell from Shen Yumo's eyes. Then she wiped her eyes with her hands and returned to her bed.
At this moment, she is destined to be sleepless! The holiday is over, I wish you all a happy holiday, please vote (end of this chapter)
