After Chen Shuning finished his introduction, he sat back down and didn't intend to get up and shake hands with Liu Xiangyang. So he just smiled and nodded politely: "I'm also very happy to meet you, Comrade Liu Xiangyang."
Liu Xiangyang was not disappointed that Chen Shuning did not shake his hand. Instead, he took Chen Shuning's laziness as modesty, which made him even more impressed with Chen Shuning.
Neither of them noticed that He Chaoyang, who had just returned from the dining car, smiled again after hearing her self-introduction. His smile deepened after Chen Shuning politely declined Liu Xiangyang's handshake.

Hearing the voice, Chen Shuning took a closer look at the girl sitting next to him. The thin and small girl was wearing a dark blue coarse cloth shirt with at least three or four patches on it, and her black pants were also washed and faded. Her skin was sallow and her hair was dry, and she looked obviously malnourished.
