"I'm 20 and my sister is 25."
"Oh...you look good, you look good..." The uncle felt inexplicably disappointed. He guessed her age based on her appearance, and it turned out that she was three or four years younger than her actual age. It turned out that being good-looking meant you could do whatever you wanted. If he guessed wrong, he would be in trouble.
The car was quiet for a while, and Su Xin was happy and comfortable. She didn't handle this situation very well. After all, they were strangers, and it was too difficult for her to get along with them as well as Helena did. It was good to be quiet now.
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the car suddenly braked. Fortunately, Helena held the front seat with one hand and held Su Xin's shoulder with the other hand. With the help of the seat belt, both of them were fine.
Xianghe was not in such a good condition. She wanted to help Su Xin, but because Helena stretched out her hand, she found herself without support. In addition, the seat belt somehow stopped working, so she fell forward and her face was smashed on the back of the front seat.
"Yes, don't be in the car..."
"Sorry girl, he changed lanes without turning on the signal, did he fall anywhere?"
Helena smiled and waved her hands, saying it was okay, and asked the driver to drive slower. Su Xin rubbed Xianghe's face, whose nose was red. Xianghe was angry and pulled the seat belt, but found that it worked normally.
Shokaku: ?
The rest of the journey was quite safe, but Shokaku was a little afraid of riding in public transportation, and she leaned close to Su Xin's ear and whispered something.
"Commander... do you think there will be any problems if we take the train..."
The hot air blew into her ears, making them a little itchy. Su Xin shivered and patted Xianghe's hand to indicate that it was okay. These were just low-probability events. Luck was never a sure thing, and she had never heard of Xianghe having bad luck.
What a setting.
It still takes a long time to take the train. Su Xin and her group plan to take the train to a certain city and then transfer to the sea. It is not a good idea to always use the ID card to transfer. At that time, they will start from a place closer to the front line and take the sea route.
Go to the nearby city and change your identity then.
The three of us stayed in the same hard sleeper, but the beds were not very good. There was just one row of upper, middle and lower beds. Someone was already sleeping on the other side of the bed. The headroom for the three-person bed decreased in turn. The upper bunk was the most uncomfortable, as it was high off the ground and off the top.
It’s so close that I can’t even sit up.
Helena and Xianghe originally wanted Su Xin to live in the lower bunk. After all, the lower bunk was the best in terms of space and convenience. However, Su Xin was not happy about it. She ignored the advice of her two sisters, silently took off her shoes, and climbed up the ladder.
He climbed to the top, and within two seconds of being out of sight, he poked his head out from the edge of the bed.
"I'm short, so it's more convenient."
Her expression was so serious, but her voice was a little aggrieved, which made Helena and Shokaku, who were looking up at her from below, want to laugh for some reason. The woman on the opposite bunk kept praising the child for being sensible, and said that her child was in junior high school and didn't even have a
Being so well behaved made Su Xin feel even more aggrieved. She shrank her head back and ignored him.
Helena and Shokaku were chatting happily and politely with others, and at the same time simply divided the beds according to their body shapes. Helena slept in the middle bunk and Shokaku slept in the lower bunk.
After tidying up the bed and taking off her coat and folding it, Helena stepped onto the ladder and poked Su Xin's calf as she faced the partition. "Come down, isn't it crowded up there?"
Su Xin didn't get angry. She turned around easily and waited for Helena to go down. Then she stretched out her legs in pantyhose to step on the ladder and moved slowly down.
After all, it was Shokaku's bed, so Helena couldn't take off her shoes and get on it. Although they were good sisters in the same port area, they still had to maintain the proper distance and courtesy, so she just sat on the edge of the bed.
Seeing Su Xin staggering down, Helena smiled indulgently, stood up and moved over, grabbed Su Xin's armpits, and spoke softly to her.
"Can you let go?"
Su Xin followed his instructions and let go. She was lifted up high and then held in the arms and shoved into Xianghe's bed. Xianghe had no objection. He was happy to be close to the little commander. He moved the quilt and gave it to Su Xin.
There was more room for movement, so Helena and I sat on the edge of the bed, one on each side.
Su Xin didn't feel awkward, but she still cared about her image when there were outsiders around. She rolled over on the bed, moved her butt a few times, sat upright against the partition, nodded to the woman opposite her, and was delighted.
The sound of praise with a hot face.
There are quite a lot of people in this carriage. Most of them are relatively young, probably going back to school after the holidays. A small number are probably parents who are accompanying their children out of worry. Except for the occasional chat, the whole carriage is very quiet.
Young men and women of this age rarely have a good chat with strangers. Most of the time they are doing their own things, listening to music, reading books, watching TV series, playing games, and doing many things to kill time.
The degree of overlap.
With everyone being very quiet, Su Xin's chat was somewhat eye-catching.
The woman in the opposite shop was very talkative. It seemed that at their age, they really enjoyed talking to others, as if they didn't want to sit around and have nothing to do.
Helena also felt the same way. Su Xin, who was traveling with her, was reading a book search bar. Xianghe was also a quiet person. He was very polite but didn't like to start a conversation. Helena seemed to have a lot in common with the woman opposite.
The language was discussed enthusiastically.
"Oh, your hair looks great, is it dyed?"
"Ah... yes, I really like blue, so I dyed it myself. It should be okay."
"Yes, yes, it does look good." The woman seemed to have a lot of experience in pursuing fashion. "I dyed my hair white before, just like the one next to you, but my hair quality is not as good as hers, and I am not as pretty as her."
Xianghe, who was reading with Su Xin:?
"No, no, she is definitely not as pretty as you were when you were young."
"Oh my god, what nonsense are you talking about, hahaha."
Shokaku was caught in the crossfire for the second time:??
He turned around and whispered in Su Xin's ear, "How come Helena chats with her so naturally... They are so skilled at praising each other."
Commander Su raised his eyes and glanced at the two people who were chatting happily, then continued to read, and a cold voice, as if he was indifferent to everything, came quietly to him.
“Communication between mothers.
Shokaku: ???
The conversation was not loud, but it was still quite obvious in the quiet environment, especially the contrast in the tones of people of different age groups, which made people even more curious. As a result, a lot more boys passed by the cubicle door to go to the toilet.
There was a girl lying on each of the two bunks on the woman's side. The girl on the upper bunk seemed to have just woken up. She looked down with sleepy eyes and was attracted by Helena's gentle and beautiful appearance for a moment. She sighed in her heart, "She is so beautiful."
Then he lay back down again.
The person lying on the middle bunk should be a little girl, who looked about the same age as Su Xin. She was originally wearing headphones and had her back to the outside, but now she seemed to be affected and patted the bed beneath her.
"Mom, keep your voice down!"
The woman said angrily, "You naughty girl, look at how well behaved the girl is, and then look at you, your temper is getting worse day by day."
The little girl was unhappy. She turned over to take off her headphones and poked her head down to retort, "What's wrong with me? What little girl? You just like those nerds who only know how to read--"
Su Xin stretched her legs to reach her shoes, intending to go to the bathroom. She looked up and inadvertently met the eyes of the little girl opposite her with her mouth open. She lowered her head and went out. The other girl was stunned for a moment, swallowed the words that had not yet been spoken, and just looked at Su Xin.
Xin turned a corner and disappeared at the entrance of the cubicle.
"What are you talking about? Why is there no sound?" The woman looked up and saw her daughter still staring at the door in a daze.
"What are you looking at? Stop playing with your phone all day. Come down and sit down. Aren't you tired of lying down all the time? Come down, come down!"
The little girl suddenly came to her senses and quickly began to tidy up the quilt. In the puzzled eyes of Helena and Shokaku, she folded and unfolded the quilt until it was neatly arranged with rounded corners. She also straightened out the sunken corners.
Pillow, then climbed down with a slightly red face.
"What were you doing fumbling around on it just now?"
"I can't make the quilt!"
"I asked you to fold the quilt every day at home, but you never heard me. Now you feel sorry for the flight attendant? Why don't you feel sorry for me, your mother?"
"Oh, it's so noisy, it's so noisy, we all go to sleep anyway, why do we have to fold the quilt? Please stop nitpicking on these trivial matters, I hate this kind of troublesome things the most! I absolutely can't--"
Su Xin walked in with a wooden face.
"I don't feel sorry for Mom~~"
Woman: ???
"How do you get back
"Actually, I'm a very good person..."
"How on earth—"
"Ah, mom, do you want some water? Can I pour it for you?"
"..." The woman watched her daughter get out of bed swiftly, take the thermos, pour water into it, and offer it to her with both hands, with an incredible look on her face.
"Did you take the wrong medicine?"
"......No way." The little girl's voice was so pure, and she secretly glanced at Su Xin opposite her while speaking, "I have always been very sensible..."
Helena and Shokaku roughly understood what was happening and looked at each other.
"Another kid who has his commander's attention drawn to him."
Su Xin herself didn't have much self-awareness. She wiped her hands with a piece of paper, threw them into the small trash can, and then climbed onto Xianghe's bed to curl up and read a book.
The little girl opposite sat on the edge of the bed, her back straight. After thinking for a while, she asked the woman, "Mom, who is the very good girl you just mentioned?"
"Look at the guy across from you, then look at yourself. All you do is play around all day long. You don't look like a student at all."
Hearing this, Su Xin raised her eyes to look at the little girl who was radiant with her gaze, thought for a moment and nodded politely, ignoring the inexplicable smile on the opposite side, and continued to read with her head down.
Helena's conversation with the woman resumed, mostly about matters like taking care of children. Unexpectedly, Helena listened carefully and was even able to continue the conversation. She empathized with her hard work, which made the woman chat more happily.
The little girl next to her pinched the bed sheet anxiously. She couldn't help but asked Helena, who was looking at her with a smile in her eyes, "Sister, can we... switch? It will be more convenient for you and my mother to talk."
There was nothing Helena didn't understand. She was about to stand up with a smile, but Su Xin, who didn't want strangers to get close to her, pulled her back by the hem of her clothes. She had no choice but to smile at the girl.
"My sister is a little shy, sorry."
The little girl felt lost and kept looking at Su Xin, but Xiao Mu didn't even glance at her. He concentrated on reading the book and occasionally came over to ask Xianghe some questions.
The little girl immediately perked up, "What book are you reading? Maybe I've read it before? You can ask me!"
Su Xin raised her eyes and looked at her. "Aerodynamics."
Little girl: ?
ps: I usually don't know to buckle up when I sit in the back seat, and it seems that the front passenger seat will make noise if it is not buckled up. Everyone should pay attention to safety when going out; 4000 words is longer than expected, so I may write a little slowly (water), I don't know
What do you think of it? (I'm dying if there are no reviews...
Chapter 129 Journey 2
The girl who was obsessed with looks and her mother who still yearned for fashion got off the bus the next day. They were reluctant to leave and left many snacks for Su Xin and her group to satisfy their cravings before taking their luggage and going down.
The woman was reluctant to give up such a suitable chat partner. She had never met anyone who was willing to talk to her about things like feeding the baby and folding clothes. From burping the baby and changing diapers to the confusion of puberty, the other party listened to everything.
He enjoyed it very much and made suggestions from time to time, which benefited her a lot.
"In fact, you just need to spend more time with her. My little sister didn't like to talk before, but after spending a long time together, she gradually became more lively."
Su Xin, who was feeding Xianghe, looked up when she heard the words and exchanged glances with the woman. The woman's eyes lit up and she nodded encouragingly at Helena, then she took the reluctant little girl and left.
Su Xin was silent for a while, continuing to nibble on the green olive in her mouth. Shokaku pinched her cheek and pulled it again. When she turned around, she saw a wrinkled and twisted face.
“It’s so bitter…”
Su Xin thought it was okay. She had eaten this before. Green olives were very common where they were, so she bought some to eat on the road before this trip. She didn't expect that Xianghe couldn't eat it very well.
"Don't waste it." Su Xin advised gently, "Chew it again, it will taste sweet."
Xianghe wrinkled his face, at least he didn't spit it out to save face. After chewing it for a long time, he found that it was indeed sweeter, but it was not delicious at all. After finishing one, no matter how Su Xin fed her, she didn't want to try the second one.
Twice.
After Helena sent the mother and daughter off, she did not feel disappointed and was in a good mood. Seeing this, Xianghe asked Su Xin to put an olive in Helena's mouth. With the good intention of sharing, Su Xin obediently passed the green olive to Helena's lips, touching
Touched her lips.
"Um?"
Helena didn't see what it was, it was icy cold, but her own child would never poison her, so she just thought it was a relative and took it in her mouth.
"Susu is so good."
Helena showed a relieved smile, but it only lasted for five seconds. Then she couldn't hold it back and started coughing because of the bitter juice. Shokaku next to her handed her water while gloating.
Su Xin didn't buy much of this stuff. She only chewed one or two a day and finished them in a few days. The main reason was that she was afraid that her cheeks would get bigger if she kept chewing.
Originally, Su Xin didn't care about these things, but in the port area, the sisters always praised her for being cute, and Helena liked to dress her up and help her choose clothes. As a result, although she knew that the ship girls might be praising her for fun, she still felt unhappy in her heart.
I am still somewhat happy inside, so I pay more attention to my image than before.
The two beds opposite were temporarily vacant. After one stop, no one came. Helena had nothing to do so she folded the quilt on the lower bunk. The little girl in the middle bunk had just folded it, and it was quite neat. It seemed that the self-confidence brought by her beauty was very good.
The awareness is still quite high.
The girl on the upper bunk came down from the bunk when she had a meal or went to the bathroom, but they didn't talk much. At most, she would politely ask her if she wanted some snacks or drinks, and she would politely refuse.
There is no intersection.
But Su Xin felt that this kind of atmosphere was more comfortable. She was not used to strangers focusing their attention on her. She preferred to be alone and keep a certain distance from others, which made her feel at ease.
