Chapter 155: Can't Keep a Low Profile
The conductor brought the meal over very quickly, taking it from another carriage in less than a minute.
When Xie Zhuo looked up at the middle-aged woman, he glanced towards the conductor and found that there was another conductor behind her. He was holding several meals in his hands, which were probably brought from the dining car in advance.
"Is there anything wrong?" Xie Zhuo reached out to take his lunch box while replying to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman also reached out to take the other one.
Unexpectedly, the conductor didn't even look at her. He walked around her hand and put the two lunch boxes directly in Xie Zhuo's hand.
The middle-aged woman was suddenly a little embarrassed, her hand still suspended in mid-air, "The other one is..."
The other one was bought by this guy for my daughter.
Before the middle-aged woman finished her words, the conductor turned around and delivered the next one without even looking at her.
"What an attitude," the middle-aged woman muttered, and then went to look at Xie Zhuo again, ready to take the portion that Xie Zhuo bought for her daughter.
Although the young man was married with children, it would not be good for him to be too involved with Hong Ning, but no one on this train knew them.
Besides, they had no intention of having anything to do with this person, but since this opportunity was right in front of them, they would do well not to take it.
She went to get the lunch box with a smile on her face, but before she touched it, Xie Zhuo had already taken it and looked at her with a confused look on his face.
"What are you doing?" Xie Zhuo asked.
"I..." The middle-aged woman was a little speechless, "Didn't you buy this for our Hong Ning?"
Xie Zhuo's expression became even more confused. "No, I don't know you at all."
As soon as he said this, someone around him burst into laughter.
The middle-aged woman's expression changed immediately, and she glared at Xie Zhuo in anger.
"No? Why did you buy two boxes? Why are you staring at my Hong Ning?"
Xie Zhuo's emotions remained stable from beginning to end, and he didn't argue with her. He just narrowed his eyes calmly when he heard her questions, but his face still had the innocent expression from before.
"Ah, this is my first time taking a train, so I don't quite understand. Is this the rule on the train? One person can only buy one box lunch?" he asked.
A woman sitting next to them immediately said, "Of course not. As long as you have money and meal tickets, you can buy ten servings."
"Oh," Xie Zhuo replied in a long tone, and then said, "I thought I couldn't eat two box lunches at once."
The middle-aged woman opposite him also knew that she had misunderstood. She felt embarrassed and angry and wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, she was interrupted by Xie Zhuo.
"As for what you said about me looking at your daughter," Xie Zhuo continued slowly, "I thought that except for the time you called me just now, I didn't look in your direction from beginning to end. But your daughter..."
Xie Zhuo paused, his expression turning colder, "You've been staring at me all morning."
As soon as he said this, the middle-aged woman's face instantly became extremely ugly, but she couldn't say anything to refute.
Her useless daughter did stare at the man for a long time, and she secretly pinched her several times but it was of no use.
Nie Hongning didn't expect Xie Zhuo to say it directly in front of everyone. No matter how bold she was, she was too embarrassed to raise her head. She stood up, walked past the female comrade sitting in the aisle, and rushed to the toilet.
"Hongning!" The middle-aged woman stood up and chased after him.
Xie Zhuo acted as if nothing had happened and continued to eat and drink. He finished both boxes of lunch in less than twenty minutes. When the conductor passed by their carriage again, he returned the lunch boxes to the conductor.
The middle-aged woman and Nie Hongning came back after a long time. Nie Hongning's eyes were red, and she didn't say a word. She sat back in her seat and started eating silently.
Xie Zhuo went to the toilet, washed his hands, and stood at the connection between the carriages for a while before going back.
When I am at home, time passes by as if it has wings. I wander around in the east room, look for something in the west room, and when I look at the time again, it is already time for dinner.
Time passes slowly on the train.
For the past few days, Xie Zhuo had been reading books over and over again and thinking about Xu Yan and the two little guys.
When the train finally arrived in Southern Province four days later, he felt unwell all over his body, with pain in his waist and numbness in his legs.
The temperature in South Province is much higher than that in Qingshan Brigade. As soon as you get off the train, you can feel a wave of dampness blowing on your face. Even though it is already mid-November, you can hardly see anyone wearing thick cotton jackets.
Fortunately, Xu Yan had already thought about the hot weather here, so he brought a thin sweater and some new clothes that he had made for Xie Zhuo.
What Xie Zhuo meant was that the more worn out the clothes were, the better. It would be best if they were the kind that thieves would be embarrassed to steal from them.
But Xu Yan still felt that it was okay to wear that on the train, but it would not be appropriate to wear that to meet Xiaobao's mother.
In the end, Xie Zhuo was unable to keep a low profile on the train. After all, he was really hungry, and he couldn't be full without two boxed lunches.
He ate four box lunches a day for four consecutive days and became famous in several nearby carriages.
Everyone knows that there is a tall and handsome guy who is quite rich and can make lunch boxes for free.
When getting off the car, Xie Zhuo vaguely heard a sentence, "It's like this, what kind of family background does it take to support it?"
Xie Zhuo: “…”
Because the last time he came to Southern Province was a long time ago, Xie Zhuo could not remember the route clearly, so he first found a place where he could send a telegram and sent a telegram to Xu Yan to reassure her that he had arrived safely.
Then he found a guesthouse, showed the letter of introduction to the people at the guesthouse, took a shower and changed clothes, and then went to Jing Keying's house.
Xu Yan had been feeling anxious these days, but he finally let go when he received the telegram from Xie Zhuo.
When chatting with Yang Shulan in the evening, his mood was obviously much better. After hearing Xie Zhuo's arrangements, Yang Shulan thought that Xu Yan was afraid to sleep alone at night and planned to sleep with her.
But was rejected by Xu Yan.
"It's okay, auntie. I can really sleep alone," Xu Yan said. "Besides, there are Dabao and Xiaobao."
Hearing what she said, Dabao and Xiaobao immediately clenched their fists and stood in front of Xu Yan, "Yes, the two of us can protect Third Aunt."
Yang Shulan was amused by their little expressions and didn't insist on accompanying Xu Yan. She just came to chat with her every night and went back when it was time to go to bed.
Sometimes Li Aihua would bring Xiao Shuanzi over to play.
These days are actually more lively than when Xie Zhuo was here, but Xu Yan still feels empty inside. He felt a little better after getting that thin piece of paper today.
"Is the third brother okay?" Although Yang Shulan had already seen the answer from Xu Yan's expression, she still asked.
"It's okay," Xu Yan smiled, "I just don't know... if this trip will go smoothly."
As one of the few people who knew the specific reason why Xie Zhuo had made this long journey, Yang Shulan glanced at Dabao and Xiaobao who were playing and said, "I hope so."
