Feeling suspicious, Gu Mingjing walked back and forth in the corridor of this carriage.
The compartments in the hard sleeper car had no doors, so Gu Mingjing could clearly see the situation inside the compartment.
He soon discovered that the passengers in this carriage were all staying in their own compartments, their eyes fixed on the corridor, their faces full of vigilance.
When he walked over, everyone's eyes were on him.
Gu Mingjing paused slightly, but soon returned to normal, but his body was slightly tense, and he was ready to take action at any time.
However, the people in the car did not move at all. He passed by with a normal expression and there was no movement behind him.
But Gu Mingjing still did not let down his guard, because the next compartment was the same.
In this way, Gu Mingjing walked slowly to the end of the corridor, attracting the attention of all the cubicles. He also felt the prying eyes coming from behind.
When he reached the middle of the two carriages, he turned around and went into the restroom.
"It's okay, I guess I just went to the bathroom."
"Phew~ I was scared to death. I'm glad you're okay."
"Let's go back."
"It looks like everyone in this car knows about it, so nothing should happen. Even if that pervert is very brave, he won't dare to come here."
"Don't say that. It's better to be cautious. If something really happens, it will be too late to regret it."
"That makes sense."
“…”
Although Gu Mingjing had good hearing, he could only vaguely hear a few words because they were at a distance and the people outside spoke in low voices.
"Accident", "abnormal", "caution", "regret", when these words are put together, it is not difficult to make people think of something bad.
Did something happen while he was asleep? That shouldn't be the case. With his alertness, if something really happened, he would definitely be alert. And Kong Qi must have been awake the whole time. If something really happened, he should know.
Gu Mingjing touched his chin thoughtfully.
After estimating the time, Gu Mingjing walked out of the bathroom.
On the way back, he still received stares from everyone in the cubicle he passed, but this time there was much less suspicion in their eyes.
When I returned to the cubicle, Kong Qi was leaning on the bed, with his legs crossed and reading a book in one hand, while with the other hand he would occasionally take a piece of dessert from the table beside him and put it into his mouth. Perhaps he thought it tasted good, so he swung his crossed leg back and forth leisurely.
"Are you back?" Perhaps hearing the noise at the door, Kong Qi shifted his gaze from the book to the door. "Come and have some snacks. It's different from the one we had this morning. This one is salty and not greasy at all. It tastes better."
Kong Qi maintained his image as a foodie and a generous person, and recommended it to Gu Mingjing.
"No, I'm not hungry now. You eat it." Gu Mingjing shook his head and refused.
"It's just a snack, just a treat. Who says you can only eat when you are hungry? Come and try it. Don't be polite with me." Kong Qi put down the book in his hand and pushed the snacks in front of Gu Mingjing.
His fingers paused, but Gu Mingjing still took a piece and tasted it.
"Not bad." Gu Mingjing gave his evaluation after eating.
But the dim sum is really good. I can buy some from this restaurant next time I go to Beijing, Gu Mingjing thought secretly.
Kong Qi immediately smiled. He liked to eat, and he liked to share food with others even more. If the person he shared it with also liked it, he would be even happier.
"Eat more if you like. I still have plenty here."
Gu Mingjing was thinking about what had just happened. After thinking for a while, he raised his head and asked, "Did anything happen in the carriage while I was sleeping?"
"What happened?" Kong Qi looked at him puzzledly.
Gu Mingjing nodded, "Yes, when I was sleeping, was there anything wrong in the carriage?"
"No, nothing happened. The carriage has been very quiet." After thinking about it carefully, Kong Qi shook his head and said.
"Is that so?" Gu Mingjing tapped the table with his fingers, a thoughtful look on his face.
He did not doubt the truth of Kong Qi's words. Since he said no, then either it was true or he was also kept in the dark.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Looking at his serious expression, Kong Qi couldn't help but sit up straight, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"It's okay. I just went out and found that there was no one in the corridor of our carriage. It was a bit strange." Gu Mingjing said.
Kong Qi suddenly remembered that when he went out before, there was not a single one in the corridor, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Gu Mingjing noticed something wrong on his face and asked.
Kong Qi frowned and said, "When I went out earlier, there was no one in the corridor either. I thought everyone had gone to take a nap, so I didn't pay much attention. It's been such a long time now, they should have woken up from their naps, so why is there still no one here?"
"About what time did you go out?" Gu Mingjing asked.
Kong Qi rubbed his temples with his index and middle fingers, then recalled carefully for a moment and said, "About an hour and a half ago, I was just trying to stretch my body, but when I went out, I found that there was no one in the corridor."
"Did you go to the nearby cubicles to check? Did you hear any noise?" Gu Mingjing continued to ask.
Kong Qi shook his head. "No, you were asleep at the time. I was afraid that a thief might come in and steal something, so I was very vigilant and didn't dare to stay too far away. I just made some moves at our door. As for the sound..."
"Oh, it seemed like someone was talking at that time, but it was far away and the voice was soft, so I couldn't hear clearly what was said. Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have paid more attention." Kong Qi regretted not listening carefully at that time.
"Voices of talking?" Gu Mingjing thought about the conversation he had heard in the toilet before, and seemed to be thinking about something.
It seems that something must have happened in the half hour after he fell asleep, but it should not have been a big deal or had not yet become a big deal, so everyone just circulated the news privately and did not say it openly. Otherwise, Kong Qi, who was awake the whole time, should not have been unaware of it.
As for why everyone in other compartments knew about it, but he and Kong Qi knew nothing about it, it was very simple. He had been sleeping all the time, and Kong Qi had never gone out or met anyone, so there was no way for him to know.
"What's wrong? Do you know what happened?" Kong Qi asked hurriedly when he saw the expression on Gu Mingjing's face.
Gu Mingjing came back to his senses, glanced at him, and didn't deliberately hide it. "No, I just heard someone outside the bathroom saying something about 'something' happening' and 'pervert'. I think they were discussing this matter earlier."
"Pervert?" Kong Qi was a little surprised. "What do you mean by pervert? What did he do?"
"I don't know." Gu Mingjing shook his head and reminded: "But since you said it's a pervert, we'd better be more vigilant at night. I'll be on guard tonight." Whether it is a god or a ghost, we will know at night.
