Chapter 124 all the way
Li Haitang's face was slightly stiff. She remembered that trains in this era were very slow, but she didn't expect them to slow down like this. However, she was relieved to think that there were so many provinces in the middle and there was such a long distance. She just missed the high-speed rail in the future.
Jiang Chuheng smiled and comforted her, "We bought a ticket to bed. If you're bored, go to bed."
"I'm not sleepy now. I'll take a nap after lunch." She took out two books from her bag and handed him one, "This is the book that my class teacher lent me. Her classmates brought it back for her from abroad."
Jiang Chuheng took the book and looked at the cover and asked her seriously, "Haitang, are you going to study abroad after college?"
"With that in mind, I want to take advantage of my youth and go out to the world." Li Haitang wanted to live a free and easy life. Her education abroad and many other aspects were ahead of her country. She really wanted to gild herself.
Whether they are going to work in institutions or private enterprises in the future, returnees have an international academic background and have the technological advantages of foreign high-tech or other high-level fields. They are the darling of the talent market. If they want to start their own business in the future, the returnees can also get the help of the government in some aspects, which will help the early development of the enterprise.
Jiang Chuheng had guessed for a long time, and now it was expected to get her accurate answer. He chuckled and said, "Your ambition is not small."
Li Haitang smiled and did not speak again. He opened the book and continued to read where he had not finished last time.
The two of them were very serious in their studies, and the contents of these two books were really attractive. Even if they were all in english, it was not difficult for them, a big student, to immerse themselves in them without knowing it.
Li Haitang looked at her watch on her wrist. It was already past twelve o' clock. She closed her book and said, "Chu heng, you rest here. I'll go get some food."
"I'll go with you." Jiang Chuheng also closed his book. There were always thieves and pickpockets on the train. He was still worried about her safety.
Li Haitang smiled and said, "No, this is car 10. I heard from the crew that car 8 is a restaurant. It's very close. I'll be back soon." She took some money from her bag and handed him another bottle of ice water. "Drink some water if you're thirsty. I'll bring back a pot of water."
"Haitang, I still have water in my bag. I'll pick it up later. Just buy two meals first."
Li Haitang nodded. There were two gentlemanly men sitting in the bed with glasses behind them who were also going to buy food. She immediately followed him.
The food on the train was really indescribable, and the price was not cheap. Li Haitang looked at the food that was not very good and frowned slightly. She was really poisoned by the food in the school cafeteria to the point that her soul was repelled. Thinking that Jiang Chuheng was still injured, she generously bought him two drumsticks, an egg, the most expensive braised meat, and a spoonful of vegetables. He only asked for an egg and a small spoonful of spicy dried meat. Of course, I also bought two bottles of milk.
Li Haitang paid the bill and hurried back to car 10 with an aluminum lunch box in front of the surprised eyes of the others.
She still understood the principle that money was not revealed, but Jiang Chuheng was injured today because he was protecting her. If she didn't buy him some better food, she would feel bad. Besides, although she bought the most expensive food in the car today, many people could afford it, but they were used to living a hard life, and everyone was more frugal. She was so generous with this move, and everyone would think that she was a spoiled and spoiled child.
Jiang Chuheng was touched to see the difference between the two. He didn't say anything. He picked up his chopsticks and gave her a drumstick. "Haitang, you have a drumstick too."
"No need. It's too hot and I don't have an appetite. I don't want to eat meat and fish. You eat it." Li Haitang took the drumstick back. If she wanted to eat it, she would have bought one just now. She didn't need this money.
She gave him a little more spicy jerky and said, "Your arm is injured. You shouldn't eat too much spicy food. I'll give you a little spicy food to eat."
There was a soft smile in Jiang Chuheng's eyes, and he did not speak again. He lowered his head and began to eat.
Li Haitang really had no appetite. He didn't finish a small box of rice, but he drank up the milk. After Jiang Chuheng finished eating, she got up and sent the box to restaurant 8, then went to the bathroom.
When she came back, Jiang Chuheng had already taken out the kettle from her suitcase and was standing in the hallway moving her limbs. Worried about his wound, she frowned and reminded him, "Chu heng, be careful not to let the wound on your arm open."
"This little injury is not a problem. I often get hurt when I train out of school. I'll be fine in a day or two."
Jiang Chuheng didn't take it to heart, but she was happy to see how worried she was. He glanced at the junction of the two carriages not far away, which was the toilet seat. There were not many people waiting in line. He said, "Haitang, sit for a while. I'll go to the bathroom."
"Okay."
When he came back, Li Haitang took a look at her watch. Half an hour after dinner, she took out the western medicine that the doctor had given her and gave him a few as instructed, "Take the anti-inflammatory medicine and take a nap later."
"Haitang, you look like a little housekeeper." Jiang Chuheng did not forget to tease her. He took the medicine she handed him and took a sip of water to wash it down.
Li Haitang bit her lip and didn't bite him. She didn't care about him today because he was hurt to protect herself.
Jiang Chuheng smiled and stopped teasing her. He listened to her and lay down on the bed to take a nap.
Li Haitang was not sleepy yet, so he tidied up the things on the small table between the two beds and continued to read the books that he had not finished reading before.
Five minutes later, the train stopped at the next station. She shook her head when she heard the voice on the radio. It had been more than two hours and she hadn't left the province yet. There was still time to wait.
These days, not many people take sleepers. After all, the ticket price is a little expensive. Everyone keeps the idea of saving money, so they would rather squeeze in the front of the hard car to save some money. She had taken a cursory look before, and there were only about a dozen people in their sleeper car, all of them sleeping on the lower bunk.
After stopping at the station for about ten minutes, seven or eight sleepers came this time. She looked up and saw that the group of people were dressed rather differently, each wearing toad goggles, flowery shirts, and wide-legged pants. The three men in front of them had briefcases between their wrists and cigarettes in their mouths. In the middle were two people with cameras around their necks, their hair dyed yellow, and large suitcases in their hands. The three men behind them were tall and strong, with big bags on their backs and a big box on each hand. From the bulging muscles of their arms, it could be seen that the contents of the box were very heavy.
Jiang chuheng, who was still awake, saw the passerby and guessed their occupation. He looked at them warily and sat up instead of sleeping.
After a long period of tinkering, the group put their luggage on the rack. One of them, a middle-aged man with a round figure, took off his toad mirror and smiled at Li Haitang with a friendly smile, "Little sister, our beds are all on top. Can we come over to your place first?"
Before Li Haitang could speak, Jiang Chuheng stood up and said, "You can sit on my side." Without giving them any room to refute, he sat down beside Li Haitang.
The man smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, young man."
He looked at Jiang Chuheng, who was tall and straight, sitting in a different way from the rest of the world, with a gleam in his eyes. He was a soldier, maybe a military student. He was handsome, angular, and tall, and even more classy than the models on the runway, but he didn't dare make any decisions about him.
But that girl wasn't necessarily there. He was attracted to her bright and clear eyes the moment he walked in, plus her elegant and transparent temperament and her beautiful and outstanding appearance, which was the best model image for the first project in his hands.
Even though this young man was protecting her, he naturally had many ways to talk to her when he was used to big scenes. He was bored on the journey, so he was not in a hurry. Even if there is no result today, there is still a chance in the future.
Li Haitang was not really a young girl who had never seen the world. She was the soul of a middle-aged woman. She could vaguely guess that most of the people sitting opposite her were from the entertainment industry. When the man looked at her just now, it was obvious that she was a wolf grandmother looking at little red riding hood. Could it be that he had taken a fancy to his image?
I don't think so. Although she looks fine, she still has a long way to go in the entertainment industry.
While she was daydreaming, Jiang Chuheng leaned her head over and a strong masculine air rushed over her face. Her heart suddenly thumped and she was a little flustered, "Chu heng, what are you doing?"
"Haitang, keep reading. Ignore those people." Jiang Chuheng did not see anything unusual about her and spoke to her in a voice that could be heard by two people.
"Oh, oh, okay." Even though there was a ripple in Li Haitang's heart, he tried his best to calm himself down and sat inside without a trace. Their posture just now was a little too imaginative.
It seemed that chu heng also saw the identity of the people opposite him. These people were different from the gangsters outside. They would not come here simply and brutally. They would at most turn around in order to achieve certain goals. But now it was a democratic and legal society. After thinking it through, she continued to open the book and read calmly.
Jiang Chuheng also picked up the book on the table that he had not finished reading before and continued to read, leaving only a little attention to the movements of the opposite person.
