Lin Chuxia glanced at Wang Tianxue.
In their previous lives, there wasn’t such a person beside them, but now it seemed that Sister Tianxue had a good eye for people.
After settling down and chatting for a while, it was time for lunch.
Jia Liang brought some buns and dishes packed from the restaurant, and the meal was quite decent.
Even though the food had cooled down, the weather was hot, so it didn’t matter.
But there were no ready-made meals afterward, just some bread, biscuits, and vacuum-sealed cooked food from their company, like beef sauce and chili sauce.
Having eaten and drunk their fill, there wasn’t much to do, so everyone lay down in their spots to take a nap.
Lin Chuxia had brought two books, but the carriage was too chaotic at the moment, and she couldn’t focus on reading, so she simply closed her eyes and forced herself to ’shut down.’
But she was soon awakened by the heat.
The train at that time didn’t have air conditioning; it only had windows open for ventilation, blowing in hot wind.
The narrow window crack still couldn’t dispel the foul air inside the carriage.
As the train journey went on, the smell inside the carriage got stronger.
People were intermittently passing through the corridor, their voices fluctuating.
Lin Chuxia felt that Qin Yang had indeed spoiled her.
After Wang Tianxue left in their previous lives, she too had traveled alone to the south for business.
Once, unfortunately, her sleeper carriage was shared with four big men and an elderly lady.
Even though she had the lower bunk, the old lady lacked decency, sternly lying above and refusing to switch places, even when the conductor came to persuade her to make way for the elderly.
There were also two with stinky feet.
Once their shoes were off, not just their area, probably half of the carriage was filled with the smell.
That time, she ended up sitting in the connecting passageway between two carriages for two days and a night.
Meeting Jia Liang’s gaze, Lin Chuxia whispered, "I can’t sleep; you go ahead and rest, I’ll watch."
While they rested, Jia Liang kept watch.
Jia Liang didn’t decline and took out two newspapers from his bag, asking her if she wanted to read.
Lin Chuxia held up her book and gestured, "I’ll read this."
Her book hadn’t been flipped through much when Wang Tianxue also sat up, saw her awake, and invited her to sit on the lower bunk.
Once she came down, Wang Tianxue handed her a cup of water.
Lin Chuxia took a sip of water, gazing at the trees and fields moving backward outside the window, and sighed heavily, "Taking the train is really exhausting," more than thirty hours.
"Once this trip is over, it’ll be fine; my cousin lives over there, we can discuss and later on, we can ask her to send whatever goods we need on our behalf."
Wang Tianxue’s cousin lived in Rong City, that was the connection she previously mentioned.
After a while, other people also woke up one after another; the weather was hot and noisy.
Houzi, seeing everyone bored, took out a deck of cards and straightforwardly started playing poker.
Houzi, being such an extroverted person, was calling everyone over to play cards, yet his eyes kept stealing glances at Liu Guoqiang.
Finally, he mustered the courage, barely smiling as he asked Liu Guoqiang, "Brother Liu, want to join us for a bit?"
Liu Guoqiang seemed easy to talk to; even while sitting, his back was straight, hands naturally resting on his knees.
Just his sitting posture alone gave off a righteous and resolute vibe.
He nodded in response, "Sure."
Houzi sneakily glanced at Lin Chuxia.
