Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

The space in the shaking train bathroom was extremely cramped, and the air was filled with a mixture of pungent disinfectant and a faint smell of rust.

The dim headlight above their heads kept shaking with the rhythm of the wheels rolling over the tracks, stretching and shortening the shadows of the two people in between, casting them on the narrow walls, flickering.

Shen Jingyuan arched his back slightly, supported himself with one hand on the cold metal wall beside Lin Xi, trapping her between himself and the wall, and pressed his other hand on her shoulder, leaving her no chance of escape.

"Lin Xi." He spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes, which were usually so cold that no unnecessary emotions could be seen, were now surging with dark waves, and it was obvious that he was suppressing some emotions.

Lin Xi was obviously not used to this extremely oppressive posture. She reached out and pushed Shen Jingyuan's chest, "You, you stay away from me first."

But Shen Jingyuan obviously didn't intend to do as she wished. Instead of retreating, he lowered his head and moved closer to her, his eyes becoming increasingly cold. "Tell me, why are you in the car?"

Facing Shen Jingyuan's captivating gaze, Lin Xi turned her head away guiltily, pretending to look around, then frowned, covered her nose with her hand, and said with disgust.

"Can't we talk somewhere else? This place is small and smelly. It smells terrible."

"Don't try that!" Seeing her guilty look of avoiding the subject, Shen Jingyuan, who had been suppressing his emotions for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and reached out to turn her face back, forcing her to look at him. "At this time, you should be sleeping in the Lin Mansion, not here."

Recalling the scene when he suddenly turned around and met Lin Xi's bright eyes full of provocation, Shen Jingyuan couldn't help but feel angry and scared.

"How did you know I was on this train? Who bought your ticket? How did you get on the train? Did Mr. Lin and the others know? Did anyone notice you..."

Countless questions swirled in his mind. Shen Jingyuan couldn't help but increase the strength of his hands and growled in a low voice.

Listening to his series of aggressive questions, the guilty conscience in Lin Xi's heart disappeared instantly. She shook her head violently, broke free from his grip, and at the same time slapped his hand that was still in the air with a strong "snap".

"Are you interrogating a criminal?!" She was so angry that her cheeks flushed red, and two flames burned in her eyes. She looked up at him and said, "Yes! I ran away secretly, so what? It's because you lied to me first! We agreed to leave at noon tomorrow, but what happened? You slipped away like a thief before dawn! Shen Jingyuan, you don't keep your word!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, even taking a half step forward angrily, almost bumping into Shen Jingyuan's chin, "If I hadn't been more careful and had someone help me watch the corner gate every day, I would have been fooled by you!"

"How dare you be so mean to me? You forgot what you promised in the blink of an eye, and you even said something like 'once I promised, I will never break my promise'? You're totally lying!"

Shen Jingyuan was stared at by her rapid-fire counterattacks and the pair of eyes that read "You lied to me". His originally aggressive aura suddenly stagnated. He pursed his lips and tried to explain.

"I told you this trip is fraught with danger. The fewer people who know, the safer it is! I haven't even revealed anything to Lord Lin and the others..."

"That's your business!" Lin Xi didn't listen at all and interrupted him stubbornly, her eyes slightly red, not knowing whether it was from anger or grievance. "I just know that you don't keep your word! Since you can't be trusted, then I won't wait for you. I'll go north by myself. I don't need you to take me with me!"

As she said that, she rushed towards Shen Jingyuan without caring about anything, trying to push him away and reached out to grab the bathroom door handle.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the moving train seemed to suddenly hit something, and suddenly made a sharp metal friction sound!

The entire carriage shook violently and stopped abruptly without any warning!

The huge inertia caused everything in the car to suddenly overturn forward. Lin Xi, who was pushing Shen Jingyuan hard, had no time to react. She screamed and fell uncontrollably into Shen Jingyuan's arms.

Shen Jingyuan's pupils shrank, and in a flash, he subconsciously retracted his arms and tightly wrapped his arms around Lin Xi's waist, holding her firmly in front of him and using his body as a buffer.

But the huge impact still made the two lose their balance and stagger backwards. Fortunately, the bathroom was small and the two were just thrown from one side to the other and hit the wall heavily.

Lin Xi was held in Shen Jingyuan's arms. Apart from the soreness of her nose from being hit by his hard chest, she was fine.

Shen Jingyuan was not so lucky. His back hit the wall of the compartment hard, shaking his internal organs so much that they seemed to shift. What was worse was that in order to stabilize both of them, he subconsciously stretched out his elbow for support, which hit the edge of the hard ceramic washbasin hard, making a muffled sound.

A tingling sensation instantly spread from the elbow to the entire arm, followed by a sharp pain. Shen Jingyuan couldn't help but gasp and subconsciously let go of the hand that was hugging Lin Xi.

Outside the bathroom, after a brief silence, bursts of vague noise suddenly broke out.

The passengers' exclamations, complaints, and a few rude curses could be heard faintly. After a while, the conductor's slightly panicked explanation came from afar.

"Please be patient, everyone. This is a signal from the front, temporarily slowing down... This is normal. Please return to your seats and keep an eye on your carry-on luggage..."

The noise gradually subsided. In the small bathroom, Lin Xi covered her still sore nose, grinned, and pushed herself up from Shen Jingyuan's arms. She subconsciously wanted to complain, but before she could say anything, she seemed to suddenly realize something. Her face changed and she hurriedly looked up at Shen Jingyuan who was still leaning against the wall.

I saw that he was frowning, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his face was a little pale, and it was obvious that he was in great pain.

Lin Xi was startled and didn't bother to complain. She reached out to help him in a panic, but was afraid of touching his wound and didn't know where to start.

"Shen Jingyuan? Is your...your hand okay?" Lin Xi's tone was filled with a hint of worry that she herself was not aware of.

She looked him up and down quickly, her gaze finally landing on his right arm, which seemed to be powerless and drooping slightly at his side. "Did you get bumped? Is it serious? Let me see!" As she spoke, she was about to pull his arm.

Shen Jingyuan closed his eyes for a moment, finally recovering from the piercing dull pain. He tried to rotate his right elbow ever so slightly, and found that apart from a dull ache, the bones were fine. He breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head gently, and dodged Lin Xi's outstretched hand. "It's okay."

Lin Xi observed his expression carefully. Although his face was still a little pale, his eyes were clear and he certainly didn't look like he had any serious injuries. She felt relieved and couldn't help but frown and mutter to herself.

"I told you to talk somewhere else. Look, you almost fell. Luckily you didn't step into the pit..."
