Chapter 28 (1/2)
Qin Guan picked up Cong Nianwei at noon the next day They squeezed into the train with their luggage, huffing and puffing It was Spring Festival peak travelling season, and the train was extremely crowded
When they finally reached their seats, the train was already full to the brih as he pushed their luggage wherever there was room and held onto their tickets
Their seats were not bad They were double seats by theTreating the student in charge of ticket-booking had paid off
Qin Guan talked to the people sitting in their seats and they left It was a coe for people to take any spare seat until the passenger whose seat this was turned up Mutual understanding was appreciated when travelling Youtickets
Colleges could only book seats for students Tickets for beds were only available at the station
Who dare say that he could have booked tickets for sleepers by waiting in line at the station? Come out and I promise not to beat you
Qin Guan hung their coats and asked Cong Nianwei to hold their bags in her arms He took out a thermos bottle from under the table, but saw that it was empty
He turned his eyes to the crowded carriage aisle and asked Cong Nianwei, ”Are you thirsty?”
Cong Nianwei shook her head She had never seen such a thing Adults were crying and children were e, including the aisle and the restroom
She was still shocked when the train slowly pulled out of the station Qin Guan said soh the ocean of people with the ther towards the water heater
When he ca a full bottle, his sweater rinkled and sweaty He took it off right away
If he had been on the street during the day, he would have surely attracted everyone's attention On the crowded train though, nobody paid hier than him Some had even taken off their shoes and socks, while others were scratching their feet with their fingers or snoring loudly
Qin Guan folded up his sweater and pushed it into the corner of Cong Nianwei's seat He told her to use it as a cushi+on if she felt tired
By the tie had finally found their own seats and quieted down
Qin Guan took a vacuu that contained their food, put some tea powder in it and poured hot water fro Nianwei, the water in it had already turned into aromatic hot jasmine tea
They were casting inti across fro the atmosphere
”Hey, young man, may I have some hot water?” the oldProvince accent
Qin Guan nodded and answered, ”No problem At your service”
The oldwith hot water and took a sip ”Are you college students? Are you dating?” he asked
Cong Nianwei flushed suddenly as she met the oldat her
This strong-willed girl was flushi+ng because of so Nianwei's expression, Qin Guan's eyes shi+ned He really wanted to kiss her
Cong Nianwei turned her head to find a silly expression on Qin Guan's face The guy had soers and pinched his waist
She had been practicing that movement since she was a kid She poked the side of his waist, where a mass of useless fat tended to accumulate
Cong Nianwei grabbed his skin and muscle and twisted, but Qin Guan didn't make the sad, shrill cry she had expected She had failed to twist it right
Qin Guan's recent physical training had been really effective He now had V-line abs and tight, flat abdo Nianwei had failed to pinch him
Not aware that he had just been pinched, Qin Guan kept s like an idiot The old man across from them took out a deck of cards and asked, ”Do you want to play?”
The three of the man there
