Chapter 358: Traveling Five Thousand Miles with the Wind
Faced with the aluminum lunch box handed to him by Cheng Xuyuan, Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment.
Should I eat or not? I had just said I wasn't hungry, but now he bought the food. This...
Just when Shen Yumo was hesitating, Cheng Xuyuan said, "Eat quickly. The staff on the train will come to collect the lunch boxes in half an hour."
After hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, Shen Yumo immediately opened the lunch box, and saw that it was full of stir-fried pork with green peppers and two white steamed buns.
She picked up a steamed bun and started eating it silently.
I don’t know if it’s because the chef’s dish this time was particularly delicious, but Shen Yumo felt that the stir-fried pork with green peppers tasted particularly delicious.
Cheng Xuyuan picked up the thermos on the small table and brewed himself a cup of tea.
As the mist rose, Cheng Xuyuan said to Shen Yumo, "Would you like a cup of tea?"
Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll do it myself later."
Cheng Xuyuan didn't force it. He sat on his lower bunk, looking out the window at the night, and said to Shen Yumo, "Yumo, the opportunities in this world are really beyond our imagination."
"I originally thought that our future contacts would mostly be about work, but I didn't expect that we would be arranged in the same carriage."
Shen Yumo paused while eating, and then said, "I didn't expect that either."
Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yumo chatted for a while, but then ran out of topics to talk about, so he took out a radio from his luggage and turned it on.
Although the train was moving, the radio could still receive programs.
Listening to the broadcast on the radio, Shen Yumo ate his meal quietly.
In just a short while, Shen Yumo had almost finished his meal.
After putting away the aluminum lunch box, Shen Yumo took out a magazine and prepared to read for a while.
However, after reading only two or three pages, she felt that the handwriting on the magazine was a little blurry. The light in the berth was really dim and not suitable for reading.
At this time, Cheng Xuyuan had already climbed to his bunk and was leisurely listening to the intermittent sounds on the radio.
Shen Yumo's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Cheng Xuyuan, this is a rare opportunity, how about we chat?"
After hearing what Shen Yumo said, Cheng Xuyuan was stunned for a moment, then turned off the radio and said, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's just talk about what happened between us."
"I said, if...if neither of us returns to Yanjing, what do you think will happen to us?"
Cheng Xuyuan never expected that Shen Yumo would ask him such a question.
In the dim light, Cheng Xuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "I think we will still get divorced."
When Shen Yumo heard this answer, he was stunned for a moment. Instead of saying anything, he looked directly at Cheng Xuyuan, waiting for his explanation.
Cheng Xuyuan said according to his own thoughts: "I used to be a little immature. I always thought that if I paid, I would get rewards."
"But now I know that hard work may not always be rewarded."
"In one's lifetime, one will meet all kinds of people."
"Spending your life with someone you like but who doesn't love you is actually a form of immature self-admiration, and a torture for both you and the person."
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan said: "So, whether we return to Yanjing or not, I think we will both be relieved."
Hearing the word "liberation", Shen Yumo felt a little sad.
But on the surface, she still managed a smile and said, "I didn't expect that your understanding of this matter is so profound."
"I heard that the rules regarding marriage are going to change."
"The last bit of bondage between the two of us should be untied soon."
"When that happens, will you marry Fang Yuqing immediately?"
Cheng Xuyuan was not surprised that Shen Yumo knew the news. After all, his cheap father-in-law Shen Yunliang was also well-informed.
He smiled and said, "I think I should marry Yuqing as soon as possible."
"Although when I was in college, it seemed like marriage was not encouraged."
“But there was no clear opposition.”
"Someone once said that any relationship that is not for the purpose of marriage is hooliganism. I don't want to be a hooligan myself."
Although Shen Yumo was prepared for this answer, he still felt sad at this moment.
Judging from Cheng Xuyuan's attitude, he has quite deep feelings for Fang Yuqing.
I have been with him for several years, and he has only been back in Beijing for a short time, but he has wiped away his previous feelings for me like a rag and treats Fang Yuqing as a treasure!
It seems that human emotions are the most vulnerable to the test.
Seeing Shen Yumo remained silent, Cheng Xuyuan took the initiative to speak again: "Do you have any good goals in the recent period?"
"If you have any, please tell me and I will help you with some advice."
Shen Yumo really didn't expect that Cheng Xuyuan would suddenly ask this question.
For a moment, it was difficult for her to answer. What are you doing? You are immersed in your own happiness, but you still don't forget to pity me? Are you in a hurry to cut off your relationship with me? Before she knew it, she said in a deep voice: "These days, my family has introduced some people to me, but I don't like them very much."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan inexplicably felt a sense of superiority.
Could it be that this is the legendary saying that once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; once you have seen Mount Wushan, all other mountains are but clouds?
Thinking this in his heart, Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "For things like feelings, it's hard to accept them just by meeting them once. We should get in touch with them more often."
"People always have advantages and disadvantages."
After saying this, Cheng Xuyuan really didn't know how much sincerity and how much falsehood he had.
Shen Yumo smiled and did not respond to Cheng Xuyuan.
She changed the subject and said, "Xuyuan, this time we are going to learn interviews. Although the goal is not clear, we also hope that you authors can produce some substantial works."
"You have been specially invited, but you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Just go with the flow. When it comes to writing, you never know when it will come out."
The topic of the two people naturally shifted from themselves to work, and then without realizing it, to Chengjiazhuang Brigade.
Speaking of familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar names, scenes from the past kept flooding into Shen Yumo's mind.
During this conversation, she inexplicably thought of the time when she married Cheng Xuyuan.
If I hadn't mentioned the three-year probation period back then, would the two of us now still be so close and yet so far away?
If he and I had been together from the beginning, we should have a child by now! Inexplicably, Shen Yumo felt as if his face was a little hot.
She felt as if she had a lot to say at this moment, but she didn't know what to say.
Just as all kinds of thoughts were surging in her mind, a slight snoring sound was heard.
Shen Yumo looked at Cheng Xuyuan intently, only to find that he had fallen asleep on the bed without knowing when.
Hearing the light snoring, Shen Yumo breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, he fell asleep first, so I don't have to worry anymore...
It seems there is nothing to worry about.
Is it necessary for me to worry about whether he will do something bad to me? Shen Yumo, who was much more relaxed because Cheng Xuyuan fell asleep, began to let his imagination run wild.
She thought of her aspirations when she first went to the countryside...
A like-minded, gentle, and like-minded man...
Thinking of the person he had portrayed many years ago, he also felt that he had put this image into Cheng Xuyuan, as if...
They all seem to fit the bill.
I have found the person I have been looking for in my dreams, but have I lost him again? "Bang, bang..."
As the train was running, there was a constant sound of collision with the rails. Amid the shaking of the train, Shen Yumo fell asleep unknowingly.
I don’t know how long it took, but Shen Yumo suddenly opened his eyes.
She found that the sky outside had already brightened, and opposite her, Cheng Xuyuan was lying at a small table, writing something.
"Are you awake?" Shen Yumo's action made Cheng Xuyuan turn his head to look.
Looking at the calm Cheng Xuyuan, Shen Yumo took a breath and asked, "Where are we now?"
"We should have crossed the river." Cheng Xuyuan said, "It's only seven in the morning. You can still sleep a little longer."
Shen Yumo tidied up her hair with her hands, took out the watch on the bedside table and took a look, and found that the time was only a little past six forty.
She looked towards Cheng Xuyuan and saw that there were more than ten pages of written manuscript paper.
"How long have you been writing?" Shen Yumo asked curiously.
"I've been writing for more than an hour." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile, "I'm used to getting up early in the morning to write. This way, my mind is clear and no one disturbs me."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan say this, a hint of admiration flashed in Shen Yumo's eyes.
Sure enough, no one can succeed easily. She originally wanted to say a few words to Cheng Xuyuan, but when she saw Cheng Xuyuan writing furiously, she put this thought aside.
Shen Yumo picked up the magazine on the bedside table and read a few pages, then went to wash up.
When she returned to the carriage again in high spirits, she saw Cheng Xuyuan holding a teacup in one hand, looking at the distant scenery, looking very leisurely.
"Finished?"
"Today's assignment is done." Cheng Xuyuan said, "Let's go to the dining car to eat."
Shen Yumo wanted to refuse, but looking at Cheng Xuyuan's calm expression, he couldn't bring himself to say no.
"Let's go."
The breakfast in the dining car is very rich, but not many people are willing to eat in it.
Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yumo each ordered a bowl of millet porridge, a plate of pickles, and a portion of fried dough sticks, then sat opposite each other and began to eat.
But just after they took two bites, a middle-aged couple sat down next to them.
This middle-aged couple seemed to be in harmony as they ate and chatted about trivial matters at home.
"Girl, where are you two going?" Shen Yumo heard the middle-aged woman ask as he was eating and eavesdropping on other people's conversation.
After a moment's pause, Shen Yumo wanted to explain that they were not husband and wife.
But when I thought about the fact that the two of them had not divorced yet, I didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said, "Sister, let's go to Guilin."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's answer, the woman smiled and said, "Young man, you are so lucky. Your wife is so beautiful, just like in the painting."
"In our county, I've never seen anyone as beautiful as your wife."
"Tsk tsk, they are such a perfect match."
"Are you going on a wedding trip?"
The term "marriage travel" really made Shen Yumo excited.
Are they on a wedding trip? The second update is here today, please support (End of this chapter)
