After entering the ticket gate, Shen Mingzhu walked with Pei Ziheng while turning her head to ask Pei Yang.

He was carrying a large luggage bag in each hand and a canvas bag on his back, but he didn't look tired at all.

I have to say that men's physical strength is really strong.

"I only bought one sleeper ticket. The two seat tickets are for carriage 3 and the sleeper ticket is for carriage 9."

Shen Mingzhu nodded and said, "Then I'll take you to carriage No. 3 first."

Pei Yang glanced at her and said nothing.

After getting on carriage No. 3 and finding a place to put their luggage, Shen Mingzhu reached out to Pei Yang and said, "Give me your sleeper ticket. I'll go first."

Pei Yang sat in his seat and looked at her, "Sit with me, and I'll take Ziheng to the sleeper berth to rest later."

Shen Mingzhu refused without thinking, "I don't want it, I want to sleep in a sleeper berth."

Pei Yang looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears, "How can you be so embarrassed? You are such a grown-up and you are still fighting with a child for a sleeper ticket."

"No matter how hard it is, you can't make yourself suffer. Ziheng is still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy life in the future. I'm so old now, and every day counts, so I have to seize the time to enjoy myself."

“…”

Shen Mingzhu happily went to carriage No. 9 with her sleeper ticket.

The father and son sat side by side in the seats, shoulder to shoulder, head to head, silently watching her disappear at the end of the car.

"Is your Aunt Mingzhu like this at home, too?"

"Yes, she eats this and that when she's craving for food, but she won't let me eat. She always says I'm still young and eating will affect my development."

Pei Yang rubbed his son's head sympathetically and said, "What do you want to eat? Dad will buy it for you when he gets home."

"I want popsicles and spicy chicken feet!"

"Actually, I think your Aunt Mingzhu is right."

“…”

After Shen Mingzhu found a berth, she ate something first, then lay down and slept until midnight.

After waking up, she picked up her bag and went to carriage No. 3.

The father and son were sleeping soundly in their seats side by side.

Pei Ziheng was lying sideways, with his upper body resting on Pei Yang's legs and his lower body curled up on the seat.

Pei Yang sat steadily, with his arms around Pei Ziheng's body to prevent him from falling to the ground, and his head leaning against the back of the chair.

Shen Mingzhu stretched out her hand to wake the man up, but as soon as her hand touched the man's shoulder, her wrist was violently grabbed.

At the same time, Pei Yang also opened his eyes.

Seeing that it was her, the sharpness and coldness in Pei Yang's eyes quickly disappeared, and the strength in his hands loosened a little, but he did not let go. His fingertips caressed the skin of her wrist intentionally or unintentionally.

"Why are you here? Did you miss me?"

Shen Mingzhu ignored the man's teasing and pulled back her wrist, "Carry Ziheng over to sleep."

"What about you?"

"I woke up."

Pei Ziheng hummed twice, as if he was awakened by the sound of the two people talking.

Pei Yang then carefully picked up his son and stood up. When he passed by her, he whispered in her ear, "Be careful, there are all kinds of people on the bus."

"Um."

After the man walked away, Shen Mingzhu raised her hand to rub her itchy ears, sat down, took out a book and snacks, and ate and read to kill time.

I don’t know how long it was before someone suddenly sat next to me.

She turned her head, somewhat surprised.

"Why did you come back? You left Ziheng alone there, aren't you afraid that he might get lost?"

"I can't lose it. There are no platforms to stop at before 5 o'clock."

After saying that, Pei Yang suddenly moved his face closer. Shen Mingzhu was so scared that she leaned back. However, Pei Yang just snatched the marshmallow from her hand.

A deep laugh came from the man's chest, deep and seductive, "Why are you hiding? Are you afraid that I'll eat you?"

Shen Mingzhu angrily hit him with the book, then lowered her head to continue reading, but her ears were burning.

The marshmallow that the dog man took away was the one she had bitten half of.

He doesn't mind the dirtiness, he's really a dog.

In addition to marshmallows, Shen Mingzhu also brought some other snacks, such as rice noodles, fruit leather, figs, peanut crisps, nougat, etc., and placed them on the small table between the seats.

Pei Yang picked and chose a few pieces and his eyes fell on the book in her hand.

Shen Mingzhu didn't answer, but just turned the cover to show him.

"It's still a famous book. I'll read it with you."

After saying that, he moved his big head closer.

Pei Yang was tall, and even when sitting he was half a head taller than her. When he leaned close to her, his chin was just above her ear.

Their skins touched each other, and the heat from the man's skin seemed to burn her ears.

Shen Mingzhu instinctively leaned towards the window, trying to get away from the man. But every time she moved a little, the man also moved a little towards her.

Later on, Shen Mingzhu was almost squeezed into a sandwich by him.

She angrily reached out and pushed the man out, "You squeezed me!"

"It's too far away and I can't see clearly." The man looked innocent.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

She wordlessly stuffed the book into the man's arms and said, "I'll let you read it. I don't want to read it anymore."

Pei Yang took the book and flipped through it. "If you don't want to read it, then I won't read it either."

“…”

After that, the two chatted idly, with Pei Yang mostly asking questions and her answering.

When it was almost 5 o'clock, the conductor announced that the train was about to arrive at the station, and Pei Yang got up and went to carriage No. 9 to find his son.

Shen Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes tiredly, and gradually fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already daybreak and the carriage was much emptier. Pei Ziheng was sitting on the empty seat opposite her, while she was lying on Pei Yang's lap.

He lowered his eyes to look at her, "Awake?"

"Um."

Shen Mingzhu sat up straight and looked out the window. "Where are we?"

"Majiatun."

The one who answered was Pei Ziheng.

Shen Mingzhu turned her head to look at the man in some confusion and found that he had a strange expression.

"My legs are numb."

Shen Mingzhu realized that it was probably because of the pillow she was using that made her feel numb.

But what could she do? He wouldn't ask her to massage his legs, right?

You wish.

Shen Mingzhu got up and went to the back of the car, using the excuse of going to the bathroom.

After going to the toilet and washing up briefly, Shen Mingzhu returned to her seat.

Seeing the man remain silent, Shen Mingzhu felt inexplicably uncomfortable, "Is your leg better?"

"No."

"……oh."

Pei Ziheng, who was playing with the Rubik's Cube opposite him, raised his head and said, "Dad wants you to help him pinch it."

Shen Mingzhu looked at her stepson, "He doesn't want to."

"I think so." Pei Yang looked at her.

Shen Mingzhu used all her strength to pinch the man, hoping to hurt him so that he would never dare to ask her to pinch his legs again. However, the man's leg muscles were as hard as stone, and her own fingers were sore.

But the man said in her ear in a shameless way, "Use more force, it's like you are tickling me."

In a rage, Shen Mingzhu pinched his flesh and twisted it hard.

Pei Yang hissed in pain, "Comfortable!"

“…”

Today is the first sunny day after the holiday in Fengcheng. As it is also a holiday, the residents who can't stay idle at home have moved stools to sit in the family yard to bask in the sun, chat, play cards and chess.

Shen Baolan was sitting with a few mothers chatting about parenting while eating melon seeds. While she was eating, she suddenly stood up and knocked over the plate of melon seeds in front of her.

Several mothers were startled and looked over to where Shen Baolan was looking. "Hey, isn't that Pei Yang and his wife?!"
