Hearing those words, it was as if all will to live had dissipated. She felt unclean. What was she to do in the future?
She had given him her heart, yet he intended to sell her for money. This was truly the most ironic thing in the world.
The statent was completed quite quickly over here. Wu Zhiyong would never dream of getting out now.
After they learned the outco, they returned to the train compartnt. It was no longer their concern.
The two sat down to eat fruit, this ti it was cantaloupe. It was truly delicious.
About an hour later, the door was pushed open, and Tang Linglong ca in.
Yuanyuan looked at this soulless woman, feeling both pity and resentnt.
She, like a walking corpse, climbed onto the bed in a trance.
The two didn’t know what to say, so they just minded their own business.
As it was nearing dinner ti, suddenly Tang Linglong sat up.
Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting were just thinking of going out to eat when they were startled by her actions.
They watched the girl get down, pack her things, and leave without looking back.
The two exchanged a glance, wondering what was going on. She had said she was heading to the Capital, so why was she getting off the train now?
It really wasn’t normal. How could a pretty girl like her not know to be careful and protect herself?
They stopped paying attention, as it was not their affair to be involved in.
Speaking of Tang Linglong, she still felt they were mocking her, blaming them for calling the police which led to this situation.
However, reason told her she should thank them; without them, who knows what might have happened to her? She might even have been sold.
Now she felt both scared and anxious but really didn’t want to stay with them. So she packed all her belongings and went to find the conductor, hoping to switch compartnts. If not possible, she’d rather sit in a hard seat than stay there.
In that compartnt, she felt like a fool, constantly reminded of that cheat’s foul deeds.
Images flashed through her mind, making her feel truly miserable. The negative emotions almost drove her to madness.
The conductor eventually agreed to switch her compartnt because a beautiful young woman was tearfully explaining how that compartnt reminded her of the trafficker.
Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting found all this out after they returned from dinner and ran into the conductor.
When they entered the compartnt, "She’s too afraid to face it, huh?"
Tan Shaoting nodded, "Probably. Without you, who knows how she would have ended up?"
"Forget it. She might even secretly bla for ddling too much."
Now that it was just the two of them in the compartnt, it was much more convenient.
In the evening, Su Yuanyuan enjoyed so delicious chocolate pastries.
"What’s so good about this?" Tan Shaoting complained, saying it was both bitter and astringent.
"You may not like it, but I absolutely love it." In her past life, she worried about her health, so even if she liked it, she only ate a little. Now she could finally indulge.
And so, their days were spent eating and drinking. Generally, Tan Shaoting went out to buy food, with the ingredients coming from the space.
When they arrived in the Capital, it was already the second day of the twelfth lunar month. Ti had indeed flown by.
They hadn’t planned to stay long, so they directly bought train tickets back to their hotown.
The direct train to the county was at 1 AM, so they still had over ten hours.
"Do you need anything?"
Su Yuanyuan shook her head. "I lack nothing. Besides, no matter how much money you have, you can’t buy anything here. After all, we don’t have the local tickets."
The waiting hall at the Capital train station was very crowded. They found a corner and rested there.
At noon, they went out, found a restaurant, and specifically asked if they needed local food tickets or national ones.
They had neither, so they had to leave.
With so many people around, it was hard to get a decent al by sneaking in. In the end, they settled for at buns and drank hot water.
"Should we get so national food tickets?"
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Not here, let’s figure it out when we’re back in the county." One must be cautious.
Tan Shaoting had no objections, "Do you want to rest against for a while?"
"Alright." Otherwise, they didn’t know what else to do. They had referral letters, but it was better to keep a low profile.
That evening, the waiting hall was significantly less crowded. So they got up to move around.
That night, they had pancakes with braised at. Su Yuanyuan didn’t like eating this way, but Tan Shaoting did, and he ate with great relish. While they were drinking water, a woman approached them, "Young comrades, your tea mugs are really nice."
Su Yuanyuan was taken aback, "Really? Thank you, we bought these in Jiangbei."
The woman sat down, chatting with Su Yuanyuan.
Su Yuanyuan felt a bit helpless, making small talk with the woman. The lady seed to have no ill intent, just liked to talk.
The woman wasn’t bothered by Su Yuanyuan’s indifference.
"Young comrade, I have lots of good stuff here—rice, white flour, cornal, sorghum flour—you interested?"
Su Yuanyuan cautiously shook her head, "Sorry, I really don’t need any." My goodness, she was quite the salesperson, reminiscent of future sales pitches.
Finally, after seeing the woman off, they both breathed a sigh of relief, though their minds were still sowhat numb.
Once they boarded the train, Su Yuanyuan finally relaxed, realizing it took only two days and a night from the Capital to the county. Their tickets weren’t for a sleeper, which Tan Shaoting was against, so he tried to see the conductor. This ti they weren’t so lucky. No sleeper available, so they had to settle for hard seats.
The train was quite packed. They were forced to sit separately.
Su Yuanyuan didn’t mind, but Tan Shaoting felt very uncomfortable with it.
The train swayed as the day broke, and Su Yuanyuan got off at every stop to take a stroll, not minding if she had no seat upon return.
Finally, they arrived in the county, disembarking around 6 PM. With no other choice, they sought out a hostel.
"I have no place to stay in town. Might as well stay here."
"Do you have business around the county?"
"Yes, eting so friends and hopefully giving them a bit of food. Then, I’ll head to the village."
Su Yuanyuan was always willing to repay those who were kind to her.
"Alright, I’ll go with you."
"Actually, you could wait for at the hostel."
"It’s fine, I’ll co along."
Su Yuanyuan shrugged, not concerned either way. There were no vehicles around, so walking was their only option.
They rented two rooms. Su Yuanyuan lay on the kang, feeling quite comfortable.
