The auntie sitting opposite was looking at the two of them with a smile on her face, which made Chen An a little embarrassed. After all, this display of affection was a bit too much. After thinking for a while, she said, "Nannan, you haven't eaten this morning yet, right?"

"No, I bought you some buns, but you left..." Chen Nanxing still feels a little aggrieved...

"Well, you should eat something first. What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it..."

"No, I'm not hungry..." Chen Nanxing would not let go.

"How about I make you a bowl of noodles?" Chen An asked tentatively.

Chen Nanxing looked at the bag on the table, two boxes of instant noodles and two bottles of water, and swallowed unconsciously. It would be a lie to say she wasn't hungry after all this time in the morning, but she was more afraid that Chen An would run away. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she stretched out her hand: "Give me all the money in your pocket."

Chen An reluctantly took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen Nanxing's pocket.

Chen Nanxing nodded in satisfaction, but then looked at Chen An's trouser pocket with some suspicion: "Something is wrong, there should be more, hand it over."

"It's really gone..." Chen An said with a bitter face.

"Hmph, don't try to fool me, and hand it over quickly..." Chen Nanxing stretched out his hand as if to say, "Don't try to fool me."

Chen An was helpless. How could he be so smart? What's wrong with hiding some private money?

Reluctantly, he put all the more than 80 yuan in his pocket into Chen Nanxing's hand, and muttered depressedly: "I'm satisfied this time, and I don't have a penny left."

"Oh, okay, don't be angry anymore. What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you, okay?" Showing a victorious smile, Chen Nanxing began to comfort her boyfriend.

"I'm going to go make some instant noodles." Chen An went out depressed with the instant noodles. Chen Nanxing was not afraid that he would run away this time. This guy didn't have a penny on him, so where could he run to? Besides, the train wouldn't stop now.

When the aunt saw this, she felt that she should do something: "Girl, I'm telling you, what you're doing is wrong."

"Ah?" Chen Nanxing looked at the aunt opposite in confusion.

The auntie wanted to preach, so she started talking: "I'm telling you, when I was young, I was just like you. My husband's hidden money never escaped my eyes. But, I never caught all of it. Do you know why?"

"Why, Auntie?" Chen Nanxing asked with blinking eyes.

"Private money is a man's dignity and confidence. Although this private money is not much, at most it can buy a few packs of cigarettes or have a barbecue, but if you don't give him this space, he will feel very uncomfortable."

"I still remember the first time we had a fight after we got married. It was because of this. My husband and I had a very good relationship. At that time, blind dates were very popular. We were one of the few people who were attracted to each other, so we rarely had any fights."

"After we got married, she treated me very well. She gave me all her salary every time. We loved each other very much. I still remember that at that time, my son was less than six years old. He was very naughty and would make trouble for everything. He accidentally let me know that my husband had hidden some private money. In fact, it was not much, not even enough to buy a pack of cigarettes."

"But I was very angry at the time and couldn't understand why he hid the money from me, so I used his private money to buy fish and made a delicious meal, but I didn't argue with him directly."

"I asked him, if you had 5,000 yuan, would you give it all to me?"

"He said he would."

"What about fifty thousand?"

“He still answered very straightforwardly.”

"But I asked him, will you give me your thirty-eight dollars?"

"He got really angry and rushed to the closet to find the underwear where he hid his secret money. He glared at me and asked me why I turned his pants upside down. I was also a little angry about his attitude at the time, so we started arguing. After that, we were in a cold war for a while."

"I noticed that after get off work, he no longer went out to play chess with others, and he no longer smelled of cigarettes. But we no longer communicated with each other, and we even slept in separate rooms. I didn't understand why he was so angry when it was clearly his fault."

"What happened later?" Chen Nanxing asked curiously.

"Later, one time when I went to look for him outside, I saw him asking others for cigarettes. I felt so sad at that time. Because of the child, he quit smoking. He has not smoked at home since I became pregnant. Naturally, I don't have pocket money for him every month. At that time, I felt that I had gone too far..." The aunt's expression was a bit nostalgic and sad...

Seeing this scene, Chen Nanxing asked tentatively: "What about you, auntie?"

The old lady smiled and waved her hand: "When you get older, you love to reminisce. Girl, remember that sometimes it's good for women to be a little confused. It's not easy for men either..."

"Thank you, Auntie." Chen Nanxing nodded, and had some guesses in his mind. He probably thought that the old man had passed away. Although his situation was different from Chen An's, it seemed inappropriate for a man to have no money in his pocket...

Chen An carefully carried the instant noodles back to the sleeper car. Chen Nanxing reached out to take it, but Chen An quickly refused: "Sit down, don't get burned."

"Yeah." Holding Chen An's arm, Chen Nanxing thought for a moment and said, "I just thought about it. It's not convenient for you to have no money in your pocket. This is for you."

Chen An looked at the fifty yuan handed over by Chen Nanxing and quickly took it with a happy face. Seeing this, Chen Nanxing gave the aunt a look of gratitude.

Seeing Chen An carefully putting the money into his pocket, he suddenly remembered that this guy only had three dollars and twenty cents on him, and he dared to live in Beijing. Fifty seemed a bit too much and not safe.

So, in front of Chen An's shocked and bewildered eyes, he snatched the fifty note from him, took out a twenty note from his pocket and stuffed it into his pocket: "This is safer..."

Chen An looked at the fifty yuan in silence as it turned into twenty yuan, feeling a little amused and helpless.

"Put it away quickly if you think it's too much..." Chen Nanxing had just finished speaking when Chen An put the money into his pocket at lightning speed. Are you kidding me? No one, not even the Lord, can deprive me of my dignity.

Chen Nanxing couldn't help but laugh secretly. How afraid was this guy that he would take the money away? He gave him such precious medicine...

Chen An put away the money, took the instant noodles on the table, opened the lid and a fragrant aroma wafted out.

"Well, I haven't eaten it for a long time. I like the taste of braised beef..."

"Don't worry, I'll blow it for you, it's hot..." Chen An looked at Chen Nanxing lovingly...

"You are the best to me, Xiao An..." Suddenly I feel that such an ordinary life is really good and happy...
