728: Chapter 728: An Unexpected Encounter on the Way_1 728: Chapter 728: An Unexpected Encounter on the Way_1 At 5:30 in the early morning, Bai Xiaosheng got out of bed, yawning and washing up.
If it weren’t for catching the train, he wouldn’t have gotten up so early.
The breakfast ordered online was delivered punctually at six o’clock.
After breakfast and getting everything packed, Feng arrived too.
Bai Xiaosheng’s luggage was actually quite simple, just a small and compact rolling suitcase.
Inside, aside from a change of clothes and so sundries, there was also the gift for Master Song Kai.
The gift was not expensive but very thoughtful.
Two boxes of Go pieces: the white pieces were finely crafted from natural seashells and the black were polished from a type of black stone, glossy as jade.
Judged purely on value, they were worth just over two thousand yuan, but to those who truly understood and cherished such things, they were rare treasures.
Besides that, there was also a scroll that was a foot wide.
It contained the Classic of Poetry transcribed by an unknown calligrapher with good penmanship, but as it was unsigned, its value wasn’t particularly high.
Feng helped Bai Xiaosheng with his luggage as they went downstairs and drove to the high-speed train station.
Once there, Bai Xiaosheng declined Feng’s offer to accompany him further and asked him to go back first.
Feng knew Bai Xiaosheng’s temperant and didn’t insist, so he promptly turned back.
Security check, entering the station, waiting, ticket check, boarding.
The process was uneventful.
Bai Xiaosheng had booked the sa business class as always, spacious and comfortable, with three seats in a row and his seat being one of the two that were together, by the window.
Bai Xiaosheng found his seat, stowed his luggage, and prepared to lie down for a nap.
The guy in the seat next to him seed to have the sa idea and had adjusted his seat in no ti, put on his headphones, and contentedly lay down.
He closed his eyes, placing both hands on his belly, still holding two round exercise balls of so material, squeezing and rotating them.
In less than two minutes, he was still, and soon after, the soft sound of snoring could be heard.
Just as Bai Xiaosheng adjusted his seat, he saw this scene and couldn’t help but smile.
It seed this guy was really tired.
Being able to eat and sleep well is a blessing; he’s indeed a fortunate person.
Bai Xiaosheng lay down, covered himself with his coat, and before he could close his eyes, he heard soone humming a tune as they passed in the outer aisle, the voice imnsely lodious.
Bai Xiaosheng deliberately took a look but was taken aback.
The girl humming and passing by was a little lolita, wearing a familiar-looking outfit, swinging a “Hanlinxuan” shopping bag.
Wasn’t that the lolita he encountered yesterday?
Bai Xiaosheng was instantly startled.
Utterly unreasonable, very combative, with a severe tendency towards violence!
Unapproachable!
Quickly, Bai Xiaosheng pulled up his clothes to cover most of his face.
Fortunately, the little girl didn’t glance sideways and just hopped on by.
“Damn it, how co this little girl is on this train too?” Bai Xiaosheng wondered with astonishnt.
That was outrageous enough, but what was even more worrying was that she was seated just in the row ahead, across the aisle, on the single window seat.
Right in front of Bai Xiaosheng’s diagonal line of sight!
If it weren’t for Bai Xiaosheng’s seat being on the inside, she would have seen him with just a turn of her head!
“I can’t let her notice — who knows if there’ll be trouble.
As a grown man, if I start an incident with a little girl on the train, I might end up being detained by the train police as a pervert,” Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly turned his face toward the outside of the window, doing his best to minimize the chance of exposure.
In his uneasiness, the high-speed train started moving.
After worrying for so ti and seeing nothing amiss, Bai Xiaosheng gradually relaxed.
Furthermore, he was not used to waking up so early, and soon he fell asleep.
This sleep was exceptionally sweet, and by the ti Bai Xiaosheng woke up, it was already 10:30 in the morning.
His neighboring seat was already set up with a little tray table, eating sothing.
Bai Xiaosheng had also brought so fruits and snacks with him, which were right at his feet, an easy reach away.
He deliberately stood up and glanced at the lolita in front of him.
The little girl was rocking her head while wearing a pair of over-ear headphones, apparently listening to music.
Bai Xiaosheng then relaxed, set up the small table, and took out so food and drinks to enjoy.
“What’s gotten into ?
I was supposed to have a pleasant trip, but now I’m acting like a thief.
This isn’t like at all,” Bai Xiaosheng lanted.
However, the other party was special.
If it were a man, or even an adult, Bai Xiaosheng could have faced them sternly, but this lolita left him feeling helpless.
“Forget it, there are just over two hours left until we arrive.
I’ll just bear with it,” Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.
After eating, he saw the guy next to him lie down again, squeezing a stress ball—only squeezing it a couple of tis before the snoring resud.
Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but admire him—such talent!
This seed like a good thod!
Bai Xiaosheng imdiately followed this gentleman’s example and lay down again.
At this mont, he wasn’t sleepy, so he covered half his face with his clothes, took out his phone, and looked for soone to chat with.
Shang Wanwan, Yang Qian’er, and Zhao Xiaoying from the film crew, Lin Weiwei who was on set, Wei Moran who flitted around the south of the Yangtze, all these won usually had one or two who would idle chat with him.
At the mont, Bai Xiaosheng tried to bother them, but for so reason, they were all busy today.
Bai Xiaosheng had no choice but to give up, browsed through the news for a while, felt tired, and fell asleep again.
When he woke up again, it was half past twelve, and they were almost at the station.
Bai Xiaosheng stretched, folded up his seat, and noticed that the brother next to him was still deep in sleep.
The little lolita wasn’t in her seat.
Bai Xiaosheng tiptoed to get his luggage down, packed up his things, and prepared to leave quietly without making a sound.
Just as he got ready, he saw the little lolita bouncing back from the dining car.
Bai Xiaosheng quickly hid himself.
The little lolita still didn’t see him and was swinging a handbag as she headed straight for her seat.
Bai Xiaosheng suddenly noticed a short man following closely behind her.
The man had sneaky eyes that followed the handbag in the little girl’s hand.
She had gone to the dining car to eat; it seed she had shown off her wealth and attracted a thief!
Bai Xiaosheng understood at once.
Through the gap between the seats, Bai Xiaosheng saw the little lolita reaching up to the luggage rack to get sothing.
The man behind her dilly-dallied, his hand already reaching for her pocket.
The passengers in the neighboring seats either didn’t see or didn’t utter a word.
Bai Xiaosheng thought about calling out, but then he rembered the incident in the alley the day before and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
If he spoke up, not only would the thief not get away, but neither would he.
Bai Xiaosheng stretched out his hand, took one of the stress balls the man in the next seat was holding, and flicked it with a snap of his fingers.
It hit the little lolita in the back.
“Ouch!” the little lolita scread in pain, becoming alert at once.
She turned back to see a short and sleazy man staring at her in shock, one hand still reaching towards her pocket.
“You pervert!
Are you asking for death?” the little lolita gritted her teeth in anger.
What followed was an extrely violent scene.
The man stood no chance and was knocked to the ground.
After a flurry of punches and kicks from the little lolita, all that was left was him holding his head and wailing.
The passengers all gathered around, even Bai Xiaosheng’s neighbor was awakened and stretched his neck curiously to watch the commotion, completely unaware that sothing was missing from his hand.
The train had just arrived at the station.
Bai Xiaosheng took his luggage and left quietly.
