The male college student reminded, "This won’t do, there’s a risk of it falling!"
The bald uncle replied with a strong voice, "It’s not like no one put it there like this, why won’t it work?"
"Your suitcase is different, it’s too long!" The male college student was quite righteous.
"Why don’t you let it fall and see?" The bald uncle’s tone was very firm.
Jiang Ning’s Divine Sense scanned for a mont, and that suitcase was already teetering on the edge; with a slight wave of his finger, the large suitcase fell down with a crash, heading straight for the bald uncle.
Luckily, he was watching it closely and desperately blocked it, otherwise, his nose would have been hit and bled.
Laughter erupted around them, and the bald uncle cursed quietly, obediently picking up the suitcase and walking away, and the environnt slowly cald down.
Then, Jiang Ning glanced at the young woman beside him; she had an average appearance, with a sowhat nervous expression, always paying attention to the surroundings.
Jiang Ning noticed that she occasionally looked at the bag in her arms, as if it contained sothing important.
Jiang Ning’s Divine Sense swept over again, thinking to himself, ’Quite daring.’
The train gradually started moving, and the scenery outside the window sped by; the trees were bare, their branches swaying in the cold wind, with a thin layer of snow covering the distant fields, creating a picturesque scene.
Soon, all the beautiful scenery was quickly left behind by the moving train.
The train attendant carried several big bags of milk candies, loudly promoting, "Our milk candy is made with cal milk, top-notch quality, you all know it even without saying it."
"It’s almost New Year, and aren’t we taking such a long train ride just for the chance to reunite with family? Buy a few bags of milk candy to bring ho, children can eat them safely, and the elderly with peace of mind. Isn’t that right, everyone?"
An old man chid in, "Yes, who’s to say otherwise."
The train attendant said, "So, sir, would you like a few bags? Now it’s fifty yuan for three bags, and I’ll throw in two extra bags for you!"
The old man scowled, "I bought beef jerky for my grandson at the last station, and he chewed for half an hour without managing to swallow it!"
The train attendant was a bit embarrassed and said, "No problem, you get off at Huai City, there’s still two hours, chew slowly!"
Everyone laughed.
The train attendant looked at the old man’s grandson and handed him two milk candies, "Little friend, does it sll good?"
"Yes, it slls good!"
"Not only does it sll good, but it also tastes even better. Ask grandpa to buy two bags, okay?"
"Okay, Grandpa, I want to eat it!"
The old man was so angry it hurt his liver. The train attendant was too wily, using the milk candy to entice his grandson, so the old man had to grit his teeth and used an advanced "group purchase" thod to buy a few bags with other passengers.
After that brief interlude, Gao Yinghui sitting across the small table couldn’t help but appreciate Jiang Ning’s appearance more and more.
Moreover, she increasingly felt a familiarity in his features, as if he was soone she once knew, but in that mont she couldn’t recall who exactly.
’So handso, what a sha...’ she thought wistfully.
Soon after, that surge of emotion took over, and she took out a pack of preserved plums, opening it and offering two pieces to Jiang Ning and the young woman.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Thanks."
The young woman was surprised for a mont, then also thanked her.
Jiang Ning ate a preserved plum, took out his phone, and snapped a photo of the scenery outside, intending to post it on his social dia.
At that mont, Gao Yinghui asked, "Where are you getting off?"
Jiang Ning replied, "Guyang."
"What a coincidence, I’m from Guyang too," Gao Yinghui said, brushing the strands of hair from her forehead to reveal her face more clearly.
She was quite pretty, and with such looks, she should have left so kind of impression in Jiang Ning’s forr school circle, yet she had disappeared quite thoroughly later on.
In the sixth grade, Jiang Ning studied at the town middle school, and he and Gao Yinghui were placed in the sa class. Gao Yinghui sat in front of him and was quite influential at school. As the "big sister," she had early inklings of romance in elentary school...
Thinking back now, Jiang Ning mused, ’At such a young age, did you really understand?’
At the ti, Gao Yinghui had good relationships with many "big brothers," making her soone Jiang Ning couldn’t afford to ss with.
But despite her crowd, Gao Yinghui was quite nice, with good grades, and she did well on her tests, which Jiang Ning often copied.
So their relationship was pretty good.
After they graduated from elentary school, many classmates moved on to the town’s middle school as expected, but Gao Yinghui transferred to the county’s Number Three Middle School.
He thought there would be no more news, but who would have thought in the winter break of the first year, Jiang Ning attended a classmate’s banquet and unexpectedly t Gao Yinghui again.
This ti around, she seed much more mature, losing that mingled air and transforming into a lancholic, artistic young lady.
Back then, Jiang Ning and his male classmates, along with Gao Yinghui and another female classmate, snuck into the school at night to play ping pong. They played until very late, finally sitting on the ping pong table, gazing at the night sky, and talking freely about the future and dreams.
Returning ho late at night, Jiang Ning and Gao Yinghui walked together until they reached the intersection where they needed to part ways. The night was very cold, the dim street lights were bright, highlighting Gao Yinghui’s extrely radiant face.
Seizing the rare opportunity, Jiang Ning asked for her QQ number. Gao Yinghui hesitated, her expression deeply complex, ultimately refusing Jiang Ning.
That was the last ti Jiang Ning saw her. From then on, Gao Yinghui vanished without a trace, leaving no contact behind, and Jiang Ning gradually forgot about her.
Unexpectedly, there was a chance to et again in this lifeti.
"Why did she lose contact with everyone back then?" Jiang Ning wondered, was there an accident, or did sothing go wrong.
He thought: "Divine Sense, activate."
An invisible ripple instantly penetrated Gao Yinghui’s body.
Jiang Ning’s expression remained unchanged, as a word silently appeared in his mind: "Kidney failure, stage three to four."
"I see." He realized, "Stage three kidney failure cannot be cured. Stage five develops into uremia, won’t be fatal, but certainly won’t be pleasant."
Perhaps this is the reason behind everything that followed.
"Are you still a student?" Gao Yinghui felt he looked familiar.
Jiang Ning: "Sophomore year."
"I’m also sophomore year," Gao Yinghui replied.
She couldn’t help but ask, "Do we know each other? You seem familiar to ."
Upon hearing this, the young woman holding a bag in her arms laughed out loud. What era is this, still using such a pickup line?
Realizing the laughter was inappropriate, she quickly covered her mouth.
This made Gao Yinghui feel quite embarrassed.
Jiang Ning joked: "Maybe we knew each other in a past life."
The young woman beside them covered her mouth, struggling very hard to hold back her laughter.
Jiang Ning glanced at her, saying: "You like laughing, huh? What’s in your bag?"
The young woman’s face suddenly changed.
Jiang Ning threatened in a low voice: "I suspect you’re hiding contraband. If you don’t tell , I...
The young woman grabbed Jiang Ning, gently unzipped the bag, revealing a cute stuffed cat.
Gao Yinghui opened her mouth: "A cat?"
Pets are not allowed on trains. If discovered, the train staff will enforce penalties.
The young woman looked at Jiang Ning with a pleading expression: "Can you not tell them I brought a cat?"
"Your cat? No, it’s my cat now."
Jiang Ning reached into the bag, calmly petting the cat.
Gao Yinghui picked up the conversation again: "Can I ask your na?"
"Jiang Ning."
"Jiang Ning..." Gao Yinghui murmured, then slowly widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Wa Temple Town Elentary, 6th grade, class three?"
Jiang Ning laughed: "Oh, Mr. Gao, you still rember?"
Confronted by his mischievous expression, Gao Yinghui’s face changed in spectacular ways, and she angrily exclaid: "Jiang Ning, you recognized all along!"
She felt extrely embarrassed, wishing she could punch Jiang Ning!
Damn it, clearly recognizing earlier, yet pretending not to?
Thinking of how she had secretly watched Jiang Ning’s little actions, possibly all seen by him, Gao Yinghui wished she could jump off the train!
The combination of the girl’s shock, anger, and bashfulness at this mont ford the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Jiang Ning laughed heartily: "Just teasing you."
Gao Yinghui’s face was burning hot, she pondered for a second, surprised: "It’s only been four years, right? You’ve changed so much? I almost didn’t recognize you."
Jiang Ning returned to seriousness, his tone carried a hint of depth: "Yeah, the last ti we t, it was four years ago."
