"She's just saying nice things. She clearly agreed last night."

Luo Fei tightened his arms around her and rested his chin on the top of her head.

"I'll take responsibility, I definitely will. From now on, you're mine."

Who cares?

Although Chen Xuanran said this, he was secretly delighted.

She had already decided on Luo Fei, but she didn't expect their relationship to progress so quickly.

But then I thought, since it's going to be his sooner or later, what difference does it make?
Luo Fei suddenly flipped over and pinned her down, asking with a wicked grin.

"Were you satisfied with the service last night? Could you give me a five-star review?"

Chen Xuanran blushed and turned her head away.

Two stars, that's the most we can do.

"What? Only two stars?"

Luo Fei widened his eyes dramatically.

"It seems my service was inadequate; I need to work overtime to make up for it."

"Ah! No! I was just kidding!"

Chen Xuanran laughed and tried to dodge, but Luo Fei held him firmly in place.

The two were playfully wrestling on the bed, kicking the blankets to the floor and sending pillows flying everywhere.

Finally, Chen Xuanran, panting heavily, was subdued by Luo Fei. The two smiled at each other and exchanged a sweet kiss.

"honestly."

Chen Xuanran leaned against Luo Fei's chest, drawing circles on his chest with his finger.

"I want to move out and live with you."

Luo Fei raised an eyebrow.

"You want to move in with me so soon?"

"Can't you?"

Chen Xuanran looked up and glared at him.

"Or do you have some kind of secret you're trying to hide?"

"No way."

Luo Fei smiled and pinched her nose.

"I just feel like your sister might kill me."

When her older sister was mentioned, Chen Xuanran pursed her lips.

"She did tell me to wait, but I felt it was the same sooner or later."

Luo Fei looked at her intently.

"Listen to your sister, there's no rush. Anyway, you can't escape, and neither can I."

Chen Xuanran suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

"By the way, Xu Hanwen said he wanted to open a seafood restaurant. You lent him the money, right?"

"shush"

Luo Fei made a shushing gesture.

"Just know about this. He insisted on writing an IOU, but I said it wasn't necessary. He just wouldn't listen."

"Just pretend."

Chen Xuanran exposed him.

"I wanted to help him, but I was afraid of hurting his pride."

Luo Fei shrugged.

"It's normal for friends to help each other. Besides, his cooking skills are really good, and the restaurant should be profitable."

The two lingered for a while longer until Luo Fei's phone rang, breaking the cozy atmosphere.

"Director Meng?"

Luo Fei answered the phone, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"Okay, I understand. No problem, I'll be there on time."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Fei looked at Chen Xuanran, who had a puzzled expression, and sighed.

"I was sent by my superiors to the Sichuan Provincial Police Department for an exchange program, which lasted for half a month."

"what?"

Chen Xuanran suddenly sat up straight.

"When did this happen? Why were you suddenly sent?"

"I was just notified."

Luo Fei scratched his head.

"They said it was to promote exchange and learning between units, but I'm the only one in the entire Jiangcheng."

Chen Xuanran's face immediately fell.

"Can we not go? We just finished."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Luo Fei pulled her back into his arms.

“I didn’t want to go either, but it was an order. Director Meng said it would help with my future promotion.”

"What's so important about a promotion?"

Chen Xuanran said sullenly.

"We finally got together after so much trouble."

Luo Fei kissed the top of her head.

"It'll only be half a month, I'll be back soon. Besides, with communication so advanced these days, we can video chat every day."

Chen Xuanran suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling.

"I want to go with you!"

"Don't make trouble."

Luo Fei was both amused and exasperated.

"I'm going there to work, not for tourism."

"That"

Chen Xuanran bit her lip, when suddenly a brilliant idea struck her.

"I can move in with you! I can help you take care of your grandma!"

Luo Fei was taken aback.

"This"

"Ok, deal!"

Chen Xuanran said in a way that left no room for refusal.

"We'll be living together sooner or later anyway, so I might as well get used to it while you're not here."

Seeing her "try opposing me if you dare" expression, Luo Fei wisely chose to compromise.

"Okay, but you have to promise me you'll listen to Grandma."

"of course!"

Chen Xuanran immediately beamed with joy, then put on a stern face again.

"But you have to agree to a few conditions."

Luo Fei raised an eyebrow.

"What conditions?"

"First."

Chen Xuanran held up one finger.

"You are not allowed to look at other women in Sichuan, let alone exchange glances with them!"

"I'm going to study, not to go on a blind date."

Luo Fei said helplessly.

"Besides, with a tigress like you around, who would dare come near me?"

"Who do you say is the tigress?"

Chen Xuanran pinched him and continued.

"Secondly, you must video chat with me every day so I can check up on you!"

"As you command, sir."

Luo Fei made a salute gesture.

"third."

Chen Xuanran narrowed his eyes.

“Send me your address, I might do a surprise inspection.”

Luo Fei grinned mischievously.

"You don't trust me that much? Why don't you have a chastity belt custom-made for me?"

"Hey? That's a good idea!"

Chen Xuanran's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up his phone to start searching.

"Hey, I was just kidding!"

Luo Fei tried to snatch the phone, but Chen Xuanran nimbly dodged him.

"found it!"

Chen Xuanran exclaimed excitedly.

"Look, these metal underwear with a combination lock are absolutely safe!"

Luo Fei's face turned green as he looked at the metallic "protective gear" on his phone screen.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

Chen Xuanran had already placed the order quickly.

"This is to spur you on, to remind you that you still have a beautiful girlfriend at home."

Luo Fei rubbed his forehead.

"Chen Xuanran, you win."

Two days later, the train station was bustling with people.

Chen Xuanran straightened Luo Fei's collar, her eyes slightly red.

"It'll only take half a month, it'll be quick."

Luo Fei ruffled her hair.

"Be good at home and listen to Grandma."

"I'm not a child."

Chen Xuanran muttered, then suddenly hugged Luo Fei tightly. "You must think of me."

Luo Fei hugged her back, feeling her slightly trembling body.

"Silly girl, of course I'll miss you."

The announcement for Luo Fei's train began to play over the loudspeaker.

Chen Xuanran let go of his hand, forcing back tears.

"Go ahead, don't miss the train."

Luo Fei kissed her forehead, picked up his luggage, and headed towards the ticket gate.

After taking a few steps, he turned around and saw Chen Xuanran still standing in the same spot, looking at him pitifully like an abandoned kitten.

He walked back quickly, and to Chen Xuanran's surprise, he cupped her face and kissed her deeply.

"wait me back."

He whispered in her ear, then walked towards the platform without looking back, afraid that if he turned around, he wouldn't be able to leave.

Chen Xuanran stood there until Luo Fei's figure completely disappeared into the crowd before raising his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Luo Fei found his seat, F, by the window.

I had just put my luggage down and sat down.

Luo Fei turned his phone sideways, his thumb slid rapidly across the screen, and intense game sound effects came through his headphones.

His brows were furrowed, and all his attention was focused on the upcoming BOSS battle.

The scenery rushing past the window became a blurred background, and the noise inside the carriage was blocked out by noise-canceling headphones.

"Damn, this level is too hard."

He muttered to himself, tapping the screen harder with his finger.

Just then, a burly figure squeezed into the seat next to him.

Luo Fei caught a glimpse of a heavily tattooed arm out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't even look up.

The game was at a crucial moment, and he had no time to care who his neighbor was.

"Hello? I'm on the high-speed train!"

The tattooed man answered the phone as soon as he sat down, his voice so loud it was as if he was afraid the whole carriage wouldn't hear him.

"Yes, that's the G1024! It arrives in Jiangcheng at 8 PM!"

Several passengers frowned and looked over, but when they saw the fierce expression on the man's face and the hideous tattoos peeking out from his short sleeves, they quickly turned their heads away.

Luo Fei remained engrossed in the game, the explosions in his headphones perfectly masking the outside noise.

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

The tattooed man impatiently hung up the phone, shoved it into his pocket, and the seat clicked as he put it in the lowest position.

A soft gasp came from the back row.

Behind Luo Fei sat an elderly couple in their sixties. The old man was startled by the sudden backward tilt of his chair and almost dropped the newspaper in his hand.

"Oh my, this young man."

The old lady muttered under her breath, but when she saw the thick, tattooed arm in front of her, she quickly shut her mouth.

The man with the tattooed arms was completely unaware, or rather, he simply didn't care.

He adjusted his posture, closed his eyes, and within two minutes, a deafening snoring sound began to fill the air.

"Snoring. Snoring."

The sound was like an old motorcycle engine, sometimes high, sometimes low, with a strange vibrato.

Several passengers couldn't help but laugh out loud, but quickly suppressed their laughter.

A young train conductor passed by, hesitated for a moment, and then gently patted the man with the tattooed arm on the shoulder.

"Sir, please be aware."

"Ok?"

The tattooed man suddenly opened his eyes and glared fiercely at the train conductor.

"what?"

The train attendant, a young woman in her early twenties, was so startled by the glare that she took a half-step back.

"No, it's nothing, it's just that your snoring is a bit loud."

"What's wrong with me snoring in my sleep? Is it illegal?"

The man with the tattooed arms waved his hand impatiently.

"Go away, don't disturb my sleep!"

The train conductor blushed and hurriedly left.

The tattooed man snorted, closed his eyes again, and soon his snoring filled the carriage once more.

Luo Fei was still wearing headphones, his fingers flying across the screen.

The game has entered its most intense phase, and his character is engaged in a fierce battle with the final boss.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, but he was completely unaware of it.

"Old man, I'm hungry."

The old lady in the back row said quietly.

"Let's make some instant noodles, it's lunchtime."

The old man answered by taking his backpack off the luggage rack.

The old lady put down the small table, only to find that the space was extremely cramped. The front seat was reclined too low, making it almost impossible for her to operate it properly.

"This"

The old lady looked at her husband with a troubled expression.

The old man sighed and carefully patted the man with the tattooed arms on the shoulder.

"Young man, could you please adjust your seat a little higher? We'd like to make some instant noodles."

The tattooed man suddenly turned around, his face full of impatience.

"what happened again?"

"Well, the seats are too far back, so we can't use the table."

The old man explained with a forced smile.

"None of my business!"

The tattooed man said in a gruff voice.

"That's how high-speed rail seats are designed; take it or leave it!"

The old lady quickly pulled her husband back.

"Never mind, I'll just have to bear with it."

The old man hesitated, then shook his head and helped his wife hold the instant noodle bowl in her hands.

The two of them struggled to finish making the instant noodles, nearly spilling the scalding hot water several times.

At the other end of the carriage, a three- or four-year-old girl pointed curiously at the man with tattooed arms.

"Mom, why was that uncle so fierce?"

"Shh!"

The young mother quickly covered her child's mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense."

The tattooed man seemed to have heard something, and glared in that direction, which startled the mother, who quickly pulled her child into her arms.

Luo Fei's game has entered its most crucial moment.

The boss was down to his last ounce of health; his finger traced afterimages across the screen, and victory seemed imminent.
"Jingle Bell"

The shrill ringtone of the cell phone suddenly went off.

The tattooed man suddenly woke up and answered the phone while cursing.

"Hey?"

Luo Fei's finger twitched, and his character was hit by the BOSS's final blow, instantly turning the screen gray.

The words "Game Over" popped up in large letters.

"Hold!"

Luo Fei couldn't help but curse out loud, but the sound was blocked by his headphones and no one heard him.

"Haha, that girl last night was really something!"

The tattooed man laughed loudly into the phone, his voice even louder than before.

"Yes, yes, it's the one called 'Shuiyunjian' in Jiangcheng! Want to go again tonight? No problem! My treat!"

Several parents with children looked grim, and one mother quickly put headphones on her child and turned up the volume of the cartoon.

"That technician's skills are top-notch, let me tell you."

The tattooed man got more and more excited as he spoke, and his words became increasingly vulgar.

Finally, a young father wearing glasses couldn't hold back any longer.

"Sir, could you please keep your voice down? There are many children here."

The tattooed man glanced at him sideways.

"What's it to you? Did my phone call bother you?"

"No, it's just that the content is a bit..."

The bespectacled father tried to reason with him.

"Something?"

The man with the tattooed arms suddenly stood up. He was a good 1.85 meters tall, and his muscles stretched his T-shirt taut.

"I'll say whatever I want! If you don't like it, get lost!"

The bespectacled father's wife quickly pulled her husband back.

"Never mind, I have to meet a client tonight."

Seeing the other party back down, the tattooed man became even more smug and looked around.

"Anyone else have a problem with this? Hmm?"

The carriage was completely silent; everyone lowered their heads and pretended to be busy with their own things.

The tattooed man sat back down with satisfaction and continued his offensive phone call.

The high-speed train sped along the tracks at 300 kilometers per hour, and the scenery outside the window blurred into a green blur of light and shadow.

Luo Fei was wearing noise-canceling headphones and rapidly swiping his fingers across his phone screen, playing a fighting game.

He was dressed in a simple black T-shirt and jeans, looking no different from any other passenger.

"Victory!"

The word "victory" popped up on the phone screen, and Luo Fei's lips curled up slightly.

Just then, a pungent smell of foot odor entered his nostrils, and even noise-canceling headphones couldn't block out the stench.

Luo Fei frowned and turned to look at his side.

A burly man with tattooed arms was casually taking off his shoes, putting his feet up on the armrest of the front seat, picking at his toes with his fingers, and occasionally bringing them to his nose to smell.

"Fuck."

Luo Fei couldn't help but curse under his breath and took off his headphones. (End of Chapter)
