Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Ai Shutong accepted all his arrangements.

"Okay, I know."

Ye Menghe stood up and said to her, "There is a small library next to it. It is usually used by me and my students. If you are bored, you can go there to find books to read."

Ai Shutong stood up and expressed her gratitude.

Ye Menghe gave a few more worried instructions before turning around and leaving.

After he left, Ai Shutong breathed a sigh of relief.

She threw herself onto the sofa and prepared to take a rest.

November 14, in a small hotel near Nanjing University.

Ai Shutong got up at around four in the morning.

She quickly packed herself up, picked up the two bags from yesterday and went out.

Unexpectedly, Ye Menghe was already waiting outside the hotel.

Ai Shutong hurried over and said, "Professor Ye, am I late?"

Ye Menghe took out his pocket watch and looked at it. "It's not too late. It's not even five o'clock yet. Do you want to check your things again to see if you have forgotten anything?"

Ai Shutong shook her head and said, "I checked before I left."

Ye Menghe: "Okay, I ordered two rickshaws yesterday and agreed to meet at the university gate at five o'clock. Let's go now."

After Ye Menghe finished speaking, he took the bag from Ai Shutong and walked towards the university first.

Ai Shutong hurried to follow.

When the two arrived at the university gate, a rickshaw was already waiting there.

Ye Menghe took out his pocket watch again and looked at it, frowning slightly.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, another coachman finally arrived.

Ye Menghe watched Ai Shutong get on the first rickshaw, and then he got on the later one.

When we arrived at Pukou, the sky was already slightly brightening.

Ye Menghe bought two boat tickets with his own money.

Ai Shutong felt a little embarrassed. She and Teacher Shen had always settled accounts clearly, but his friend took advantage of her.

When she arrived at the West Station, Ai Shutong spent fourteen dollars to buy a first-class ticket to Shanghai.

It was already nine o'clock.

After Ai Shutong entered the first-class carriage, she instantly relaxed.

There is carpet here, and there is a seat on each side of each row.

She picked a seat near the door and when she sat down she found that the seat was very soft and comfortable.

Ai Shutong, who was curious about the seat, suddenly saw a familiar figure appear at the door of the car.

"Mistu?"

Ai Shutong shouted in surprise.

Du Wanqing looked at her strangely, "Do we know each other?"

Before Ai Shutong could answer, Mrs. Lin walked in and asked, "What's wrong?"

Du Wanqing: "Miss, do you know me?"

Mrs. Lin suddenly heard that someone knew Du Wanqing, and quickly turned to look at Ai Shutong.

After looking at her carefully for a while, he raised his hand and pointed at her as if he suddenly realized something, "You are the little girl who is going to seek refuge with her relatives!"

Du Wanqing asked in confusion: "Why did you become white?"

Ai Shutong nodded with a smile. Just as she was about to explain, a clear-headed man interrupted her and asked, "Why did Miss Du stop?"

Ai Shutong looked around and saw Xu Shichang in military uniform.

Didn't he say he was going to work in Nanjing? Why was he going to Shanghai?

Misdu quickly walked forward a few steps and sat in front of Ai Shutong.

"Mister Xu, the teacher and I ran into an acquaintance."

Mrs. Lin chose a seat closest to Du Wanqing.

Xu Shichang walked to the aisle and sat down. Seeing Ai Shutong in her school uniform and looking pretty, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said:

"Oh? Why don't you introduce me to Miss Du?"

Misdu: "This is Miss Ai. Both her parents have passed away. This time she is going to Shanghai to live with her relatives."

"Miss Ai, this is Mr. Xu. He was the one who killed the robbers and saved us last time."

"He is a brave gentleman. Under his protection, my teacher and I had a great time in Nanjing for two days."

"For safety reasons, I hired him to take me home."

When Xu Shichang heard that Ai Shutong's parents were dead, he instantly lost interest. A girl like this who only had money but no power was not suitable for him.

And seeing that she looks naive, she will definitely not be able to keep her property if she goes to her relatives' house.

In this comparison, Du Wanqing is a hundred times stronger than her.

"Missdu is too polite. We are friends. Logically, I shouldn't accept money."

Xu Shichang looked at Du Wanqing tenderly.

Based on his previous experience, Du Wanqing would look shy.

Unexpectedly, Du Wanqing was not shy at all and looked at him seriously. "How can I always take advantage of you? If this goes on, our friendship won't last long."

Xu Shichang quickly comforted her, "Okay, okay, listen to Miss Du. If you are willing to give it, I will take it."

Ai Shutong discovered from the expressions of the two people that Xu Shichang was seducing Du Wanqing intentionally or unintentionally.

Mrs. Lin should have noticed it, but she didn't stop it.

Maybe she was too confident about their relationship?!

It seems like Du Wanqing has got the script of a heartthrob!

It's better to stay away from her as she is a cannon fodder.

Otherwise you might end up becoming cannon fodder by accident!

At around seven in the evening, the train finally arrived in Shanghai.

Ai Shutong refused to join the war between the three people. As soon as the car stopped, she got out quickly without saying hello.

After passing through the encirclement, we arrived at a wonton stall on the main street.

"Boss, a bowl of wontons."

After a while, a small bowl of wontons in the shape of ingots was placed in front of Ai Shutong.

Ai Shutong didn't mind the heat. She blew on it twice and couldn't wait to take a bite.

After filling her stomach, Ai Shutong asked, "Boss, is this place far from Xujiahui Zhaoqing Beach?"

The boss quickly wrapped wontons and said cheerfully, "Not far, about six miles."

Ai Shutong thanked her and continued eating wontons.

Before I finished eating, a night rickshaw came running over.

Ai Shutong quickly stood up and waved her hand, "Here, I'll take the bus!"

The driver came over quickly and asked, "Miss, where are you going?"

As Ai Shutong paid the bill, she replied, "No. 15, Zhaoqingbang, Xujiahui!"

At this time, she thought of the experience of being cheated in Nanjing and asked in advance, "How much?"

Driver: "Five cents!"

Ai Shutong: "So expensive?"

Driver: "Miss, this is cheap enough. It costs 35 cents during the day!"

"You have to give us some extra money at night!"

Ai Shutong nodded in agreement, took two quick steps and got into the car, "Let's go."

As expected of Shanghai, many shops along the way were still open, and Ai Shutong even saw two dance halls.

Although it looked small, she could hear the dance music and noise inside from the rickshaw.

One can imagine that it must be extremely lively inside.

When she arrived at the place, Ai Shutong realized that this was the French Concession...

She stood outside the iron railings and could see a garden and a four-story villa inside.

Why didn't she see the title deed of this house at that time...

Are you blind?!

She took two deep breaths and rang the doorbell.
