Chapter 248 - Don’t Bother About It (2/2)

Ye Jian smiled. She didn’t argue with the middle-aged woman.

She didn’t like to open her window entirely too. In this era, many things could happen on the train. The story that Princ.i.p.al Chen told them last time happened in May 1993. It was during a train from Beijing to Moscow.

It was a true story. The influence it had internationally was extremely bad. Many people didn’t dare to take that train anymore.

That was not the only instance. There were many other cases but the impact was not as great as the international train case.

After the train left the train station, Princ.i.p.al Chen smiled at Ye Jian. “I have been going out very often this year. Normally, I wouldn’t take the train unless I have to.”

When he was young, Princ.i.p.al Chen went to many different areas to carry out missions. Hence, when he retired, he wanted to live a calm and stable life. The oil reserve below the school didn’t allow him to leave the school often too.

This time, he came out because he had to bring Ye Jian to the Provincial People’s Great Hall.

“To us, taking the train is an interesting experience. That time when 12 of us came to the province, Zhou Liao and a few of the male students didn’t sleep for an entire night due to their excitement.” Ye Jian had climbed to the middle berth. She popped her head out and chatted with Princ.i.p.al Chen who was still sitting on the foldable seat. “The first trip is always exciting.”

A princ.i.p.al and a student. This ident.i.ty was easily accepted by other people.

Hence, the middle-aged couple joined in their conversation too. Princ.i.p.al Chen was a talkative person. After some time, he was already chatting freely with the middle-aged man.
