Firmly stated:
"We're going to go out and play, too."
It’s not that Xu Niannian doesn’t want to, it’s just that the crowds on trains are complicated now and it’s not as safe as it was in previous years.
These three kids have outstanding looks and are most popular with human traffickers, so this risk cannot be taken.
Xu Niannian shook hands with them and promised to bring them a sack of snacks when she returned before agreeing.
When Xu Niannian and Lu Huaijin boarded the train to the south, they looked at the trees passing by outside the window, their hearts full of anticipation.
She wanted to see the South in the 1980s, a place where things were budding and emerging.
By the way, the two of them can also go for a walk alone. It has been a long time since they last went out to play alone.
But the novelty didn't last long, and the dizzy feeling on the train swept over.
Xu Niannian almost forgot that she was prone to motion sickness as the train made a clanging sound.
Xu Niannian silently peeled an orange peel from her bag and put it to the tip of her nose.
The sweet scent of orange instantly saved her from the dizziness of motion sickness.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Huaijin in front of her, who stuffed a note into her hand with a serious look on his face.
The note read:
"You're like a little fish."
"It stirs my heartstrings."
"Leaving an indelible mark in my world."
Xu Niannian rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong. Could this be the three-line love letter of later generations?
For a moment, she even wondered if it had floated over from next door, but the font in front of her was neatly written, with every stroke in regular script.
Just like looking at Lu Huaijin at this moment, he looks serious, but he can actually write such words.
She coughed lightly and put the note in her pocket.
Lu Huaijin looked at her with some confusion, and felt that his roommate was unreliable. He said that he used this trick to win the heart of his wife and make her agree to marry him.
Today he tried it out, and it turned out that his career-oriented woman didn't buy it.
No, is it because what I wrote was not beautiful enough?
He heard that in comprehensive schools like Xu Niannian, talented men like this were the most sought after, and he remembered that every time he went to school he would run into people who coveted his wife.
Growing up, people around him said that he was smart, and he did have some success in his career, being top-notch in both physical fitness and academic subjects.
But sometimes women’s minds are really hard to guess.
But since the woman didn't like it, he continued to think about it. He picked up the pen again and planned to write something.
When Xu Niannian saw his frowning face, she knew that he was starting to have wild thoughts again.
She peeled an orange-flavored candy and put it into Lu Huaijin's mouth. Of course, she would not praise Lu Huaijin for this behavior.
It saves me from receiving such flowery words from time to time, but it feels good to be pampered by a man who has put all his efforts into pampering him.
For Lu Huaijin, writing such words is much more difficult than asking for money.
Perhaps Lu Huaijin's serious expression scared away a lot of people, and few people talked to Xu Niannian along the way.
I didn't encounter any human traffickers.
After two days, they finally arrived in Guangzhou. Looking at the scenery which was completely different from Kyoto, she began to feel excited from the moment she got off the bus.
I even forgot about motion sickness.
Lu Huaijin followed her with a lot of bags in his hand. Seeing her walk happily, he knew that she was in a good mood.
Xu Niannian quickly found a hotel near the train station.
When Lu Huaijin saw a stall selling candied haws on the street, he asked Xu Niannian to go in and book a room by herself.
Xu Niannian went directly to the front desk:
"Book a king-size bed room."
The front desk clerk looked up and his eyes lingered on the watch on her wrist for a while:
