That night, because there was no one else staying in the sleeper room where Bai Youyou and her roommates were staying, Sheng Zeyan did not return to his own seat, but slept together with Bai Youyou.

The next day, a family of three came to their sleeper room.

Their family bought bunk beds facing Bai Youyou and the others. The lower bunk was for the woman and her three-year-old son, while the upper bunk was for the child's father.

When they arrived, Bai Youyou and Sheng Zeyan were taking towels to the bathroom to wash up, so they didn't see them at first.

After they returned, the two sides had a brief acquaintance.

When Bai Youyou saw the fair and clean three-year-old boy, she felt indescribable love in her heart.

After stuffing all the towels in her hand to Sheng Zeyan, she turned around, took out a boiled egg from her bag and handed it to the boy.

She spoke to the child in a soft voice:

"Hello, little friend! I'm Sister Youyou. Come here, I have an egg. I'll give it to you, okay?"

Seeing Bai Youyou's actions, the child's mother quickly pulled the child towards herself to prevent Bai Youyou from touching the child.

He looked at Bai Youyou with wariness in his eyes, as if Bai Youyou was about to snatch their child away.

But the voice was still very polite:

"No, thank you for the eggs. We have food at home, so you won't have to feed him eggs."

After Sheng Zeyan put his things away, he pulled Bai Youyou and signaled her not to worry about it.

Only then did Bai Youyou realize how outrageous her actions were. There were already many human traffickers in this era, and she was using eggs, which most people could not afford, to coax the child.

It would be strange if her parents didn't think too much about it, she would think so too.

So she could only touch her nose awkwardly and apologize to the child's parents.

"Well, I'm sorry, we don't mean any harm. I just live in the lower bunk here. I just thought your child was cute, so I wanted to feed him eggs."

The child's father smiled and said, "It's okay, comrade. We know you have no bad intentions, but it's always better to be cautious these days."

Bai Youyou nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

By noon, when everyone was sleeping, the train was still rumbling along.

Bai Youyou lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She turned around and whispered to Sheng Zeyan:

"Brother Yan, today is really embarrassing. I have to be more careful next time."

Sheng Zeyan patted her gently and whispered in her ear to comfort her: "It's okay, as long as everyone understands each other. The main thing is that there are too many bad people now, so it's reasonable for them to be cautious."

"Yeah! I know, I just thought the child was cute, so I wanted to give him something to eat."

"I know, Youyou, you like children so much, so let's have more in the future, so that you don't have to envy other people's children." Sheng Zeyan said jokingly. He also wanted to ease Bai Youyou's mood.

"Okay! How about we have three, two boys and one girl?" In modern times, Bai Youyou dreamed of having a child of her own, but she was too busy to find a man to have children.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. We can have as many children as you want." Sheng Zeyan was also looking forward to the child that belonged to him and Bai Youyou.

Just when they were chatting enthusiastically, the child who was sleeping in her mother's arms suddenly started crying.

No matter how the child's mother tried to coax him, it was of no use. The passengers around were woken up and complained.

When the child cried, Bai Youyou sat up from Sheng Zeyan's arms. After seeing the child crying non-stop, she hesitated for a moment, then got up from the bed and said to the child's mother:

"Sister, is the child hungry? I have some pancakes here. If you trust me, you can feed the child some. If you still don't think it's okay, then just pretend I never said anything."

The child's mother looked embarrassed, but the child was crying so hard that she finally gritted her teeth and took the pancake.

Fortunately, the child stopped crying after eating the pancakes.

The child's mother said to Bai Youyou gratefully, "Comrade, thank you so much. I was rude before, and I apologize to you here."

Bai Youyou waved her hand and said, "Sister, it's all a small matter. Now that the child has stopped crying, it's okay." In a short while, the carriage returned to silence.

……

Bai Youyou also slept for a while while holding Sheng Zeyan.

After they woke up, Bai Youyou went to the bathroom alone. When she came out of the bathroom, System Xiaoba gave her a prompt.

[Host, the woman following you is a human trafficker. She has taken a fancy to you. You must be careful.]

[Human trafficker! She's also interested in me. Xiao Ba, do you know why she wants to trick me into leaving?]

She planned to trick you into the mountains and sell you to an old bachelor to continue the family line. They usually like to trick pretty girls like you because they can get a good price.

[Xiao Ba, they've already scammed a few people on this train.]

[Host, you are lucky. You are the first person they want to deceive.]

[I'm lucky. They want to trick me, but it depends on whether my husband Sheng Zeyan agrees.]

[…Host, you are content with having a husband now. Aren't you afraid that one day he won't be by your side? What will you do then?]

[What else can I do? I'll just leave it cold.]

【Why don't you just struggle a bit?】

[I am a weak woman. When that time really comes, how can you let me struggle?

If I do anything wrong, it will be like an egg hitting a stone, and I will be doomed.

[…….] He knew that the system had nothing more to say.

After knowing that she was followed by human traffickers, Bai Youyou did not immediately return to the sleeper room, but walked straight past Sheng Zeyan.

After Sheng Zeyan looked over, she used her eyes to signal Sheng Zeyan that someone was following her.

Sheng Zeyan was still very capable and was able to receive Bai Youyou's signal which was not really a signal.

After receiving Bai Youyou's gaze, he did not say anything. After Bai Youyou brought people over, he quietly followed.

Bai Youyou walked all the way to the rear of the carriage.

There was a slightly secluded corner where she stood, and she turned to look at the woman who had been following her.

"Sister, why are you following me?"

The woman didn't expect her to turn around and ask a question. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Sister, where are you from? I'm from Hangzhou and I'm taking a bus to visit relatives. I think you look very familiar, sister. I wonder if we have met somewhere before."

Bai Youyou ignored the woman's words and sneered.

"Sister, let's not mince words. What on earth do you want to do by following me all the way?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the woman's face, and then she smiled again.

"Big sister, what you said is right. I just want to make friends with you."

"Making friends, sister, how can we make friends if we don't even know each other?"

"Big sister, don't we know each other now? Come on, let's go to my seat and chat. I have a lot of delicious food there, and I'll give it to you later." The woman said as she wanted to go forward and hold Bai Youyou's hand.

At this time, Sheng Zeyan quietly approached and patted the woman's shoulder.

"Comrade, you want to be friends with my wife? I think you want to kidnap people!"

The woman was so frightened that she trembled all over. Just as she was about to argue, Sheng Zeyan said sternly:

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing. How many accomplices are there in this car?"

The woman saw that her affair was exposed and fell to her knees.

"Brother and sister-in-law, please forgive me. I was forced to do this."

Bai Youyou crossed her arms, "Who forced you to do this? Do you have any excuse for doing something so outrageous?"

Sheng Zeyan took out a rope from his pocket and tied the woman up in no time.

"You'd better tell the truth now. Confession will be treated leniently, while resistance will be treated severely. You need to think it through."

The woman thought for a while while crying, and finally revealed her accomplices and their plans.

After Sheng Zeyan took note of it, he sent the person to the train police and told them everything he had just gotten out of the woman's mouth, then took Bai Youyou away.

After returning to the carriage, Bai Youyou leaned on Sheng Zeyan's arms and said softly, "I'm glad you're here."

Sheng Zeyan touched her head lovingly.

"Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt."

"Ok, I know."
