1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 207 On the train

In the evening, the sun sets.

The sun is red.

After half a day's long journey, the black steam train has entered Henan Province and is about to arrive at Xuchang.

The train rumbled across the bridge, startling a flock of sparrows.

"Squeak~"

The clear sound of birdsong spread out, and a group of black wings spread out.

It left a trail of filth on the carriage, hitting the iron sheets above the passengers' heads and making crackling sounds. Then a thin yellow, green and white substance slid down the curved roof towards the windows.

As evening fell, the temperature dropped slightly.

A gust of wind blew from the bridge where the train was running, and it rushed into the carriage, making it much cooler.

There is just one bad thing. As night falls, there are more mosquitoes.

Outside carriage 604, a conductor pushing a dining car passed by. She habitually took a look inside through the glass window.

Several figures gathered together, watching a young man and a man who looked like a soldier playing chess. It was a little different from the other carriages, where most people were playing poker.

The conductor called out, "Boxed lunch, boxed lunch, delicious boxed lunch."

inside the carriage.

"Eat your horse!"

"I'm going to eat your elephant, general! You get your soldiers down!"

"It's useless to be a corporal, double general... Awesome, you are indeed a scholar, you can make ten calculations in one move, let's play the last game."

Cheng Kaiyan was playing chess with Li Su, a middle-aged man in military uniform, on a small table. A gentle and charming girl was standing behind him, holding a paper folding fan and fanning herself gently, so it wasn't that hot.

She heard the conductor selling lunch boxes outside the door, patted his shoulder and reminded him, "Eat, Kaiyan, it's already six o'clock."

"Okay, finish this game of chess."

Cheng Kaiyan nodded. It was really boring on the train without a cell phone holder these days.

Before leaving yesterday, Wang Danping gave the chess set she bought to Cheng Kaiyan.

He said that he wanted to play chess with Liu Xiaoli on the road to relieve his fatigue, and perhaps he also wanted to make Cheng Kaiyan lose face.

When watching him play chess, I wonder if he dares to treat Liu Xiaoli the same way he treats Wang Danping herself.

After playing a few games of chess, Liu Xiaoli and Cheng Kaiyan became familiar with the people in the carriage.

The man in military uniform who is playing chess with Cheng Kaiyan now is named Li Su, who is in his thirties and his specific background is unknown.

The middle-aged woman lying on the lower bunk opposite, wearing a printed shirt and eating a box of biscuits in her hands, was called Hao Lifen and had a sickly look on her face.

Standing next to Liu Xiaoli, the girl with freckles on her face, a student-like look, and a big braid on her head, looks only seventeen or eighteen years old. She is Wang Wenwen, the daughter of Hao Lifen.

It is said that the two went to BJ to stay with relatives. Since they had the same destination as Liu Xiaoli, they felt a sense of closeness.

After knowing this, the young girl named Wang Wenwen would chat with Liu Xiaoli and Cheng Kaiyan from time to time.

The other young man, wearing glasses, was thin and had a pointed face. His name was Huang Dayong. He said he was an educated youth who went to the countryside and used to be a math teacher in a middle school.

But Liu Xiaoli didn't quite believe it and had a very bad first impression of him.

When she entered the carriage earlier, she, who was always sensitive and had sharp senses, noticed Huang Dayong's unclean eyes sweeping over her, as if he was coveting her and longing for her.

"Sister Xiaoli, that Huang doesn't seem to be a good person. I just noticed that he has been looking at the two of us."

Wang Wenwen, a little girl with freckles, handed Liu Xiaoli some biscuits, then timidly glanced at the man huddled on the upper bunk. She stood on tiptoe and whispered in Liu Xiaoli's ear.

There was a hint of worry and fear in her tone. She and her mother were both alone and weak, and this time they went to live with their relatives, taking a lot of belongings with them.

When you go out, you are like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered by the evil people.

Wang Wenwen then frequently talked to this handsome and beautiful young couple to relieve the pressure in her heart.

"Don't pay any attention to people like this. The more you pay attention to them, the more aggressive they become. Be careful, take good care of your belongings, and be ready to call the stewardess."

When Liu Xiaoli heard this, she couldn't help but frown and felt a little gloomy in her heart.

She looked at Cheng Kaiyan who was standing next to her, her hands on his shoulders, subconsciously stroking the bones and muscles under his thin short sleeves, thin and strong.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry? There's still a lot of food in the bag. Fill your stomach."

Cheng Kaiyan turned around and looked.

"fine."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head. Hearing her partner's caring voice, her heart suddenly felt calmer.

This guy always gives him a unique sense of security.

Liu Xiaoli felt the change in her emotions, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and the paper fan in her hand shook a little faster.

A few minutes later, the game was over.

Cheng Kaiyan asked Li Su, who was playing chess with her, to help look after the luggage.

Then he took Liu Xiaoli out of the car.

"Click."

The door closed, and the two of them clearly felt that the noise around them had become much louder.

Across the aisle were glass windows blocked by white-painted steel bars.

Outside the window, the sky is getting dark.

The sun sets, burning the sky red.

In the narrow aisle, there were many people standing by the windows like them, looking at the scenery and feeling the breeze, feeling so comfortable.

The two of them breathed in the fresh air and felt refreshed and happy.

"It's still more comfortable outside. It's too stuffy inside."

Cheng Kaiyan took a deep breath and sighed.

"Well, there's no sun right now, and the wind outside is cool, but there are a lot of mosquitoes. It's going to be a pain later at night."

Liu Xiaoli nodded and responded,
She frowned her beautiful eyebrows, still thinking about what Wang Wenwen had just said to her. She was wondering whether to tell Cheng Kaiyan.

After all, being in the same carriage with such a person is bound to make people worry.

But the other party just looked around and didn't take any actual action.

"You must be hungry. Let's go eat first. What do you want to eat?"

Cheng Kaiyan thought she was worried about mosquitoes, so she pulled her towards the dining car.

The two were not worried that their luggage would be stolen if left in the carriage because it only contained some clothes and inexpensive items.

Both of them carried valuables such as wallets and jewelry with them.

He also asked Li Su for help, as well as Hao Lifen and Wang Wenwen, mother and daughter.

"I want to eat spicy chicken and drink ice soda."

When talking about dinner, Liu Xiaoli looked a little more relaxed and said excitedly.

She remembered that they had drunk soda in the morning.

As for the man surnamed Huang, let’s talk about it while we eat.

"It's all up to you."

"Hehe, Kaiyan, you are so nice."

……

The two left one after the other, passing the ticket carriage in between.

There was a mixed crowd in the carriage.

The lights above the carriage flickered from time to time, shining on the simply dressed people sitting in their seats.

Men, women, children, and the elderly were wearing dark blue, black, and yellowish white T-shirts.

The smell in the train carriage was already unpleasant, and now in summer it was even more complicated, like a can of herring that had been rotting for a month.

But people remained unmoved and just munched on the steamed buns in their hands, eating pickles if possible, drinking water from time to time, and considering themselves a success if they could get through the first day on the bus.

"Comrades, please make way and don't block the road."

"Lunch box, who wants a lunch box?"

Passengers shuttled back and forth in the narrow aisle, and the attendants who were pushing the narrow dining cart were squeezed so hard that they could not move and complained continuously.

"Comrade, please give me a bowl of spicy chicken, another bowl of minced meat and eggplant, and two bottles of ice soda."

Cheng Kaiyan pulled Liu Xiaoli aside and squeezed through the crowd, shouting at the conductor.

"Okay, okay. Wait a moment."

The two successfully bought food and drinks, spending nearly two yuan. Because the carriage was too stuffy, the two went to the train's restaurant to eat.

The two dishes that Cheng Kaiyan bought were Liu Xiaoli's favorites. She ate and drank a sip and felt very comfortable. Until the end of the meal, the girl had a satisfied smile on her face.

Then, Liu Xiaoli told everything that had just happened in the carriage.

"Don't worry, I'm here. If you're worried about sleeping at night, I'll come down and accompany you."

After hearing this, Cheng Kaiyan's eyes flashed with coldness. After thinking for a few moments, she comforted him gently.

At that time, the sleeper cars generally had three levels of berths, with two groups of six berths in each compartment.

For convenience, Cheng Kaiyan let Liu Xiaoli sleep on the lower bunk, she slept on the middle bunk, and Huang Dayong slept on the top bunk on their side.

Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief after getting her partner's approval.

but……

Come down and sleep together?

Liu Xiaoli's pretty face flushed. She knew that this was Cheng Kaiyan's kindness, but how could they sleep together? And...

The girl looked down at her slightly sweaty skirt and sniffed her body with her delicate nose, although there was no strange smell.

But it still made her feel embarrassed.

After blushing and struggling for a while, Liu Xiaoli nodded inconspicuously and said in a low voice: "Okay, but I want to take a bath... It's so hot today, I'm sweating, I..."

bath?

I almost forgot that Sister Xiaoli is very clean, even a little bit of a germaphobe, and takes a bath several times a day.

It is because there is no such condition when taking the train that the girl restrained herself.

Cheng Kaiyan saw her looking at him eagerly and her embarrassed and coy expression, and she knew that Sister Xiaoli was worried that she had some odor on her body and she was afraid that he would smell it.

"Taking a bath will make you feel better. I'll go take care of it."

He nodded and agreed.

Although there are almost no facilities for taking a shower on trains these days, it is not impossible to create one to prevent her from being disappointed.

"Uh-huh!"

Liu Xiaoli nodded with some surprise.

Then, under her expectant gaze, Cheng Kaiyan stood up and walked towards the conductor who was working, and the two started chatting.

"Comrade..."

"There's not much water on the train, so taking a shower is a luxury."

At first the man looked a little embarrassed.

However, after Cheng Kaiyan revealed his identity, the man's expression became a little more friendly. Unexpectedly, he was the young great writer who had become very famous recently!

After Cheng Kaiyan took out a few more bills, the other party still agreed with a smile.

"Teacher Cheng, don't worry! I'll take care of it."

……

After a while, Cheng Kaiyan turned around and came back.

"Come on, I've got you covered. Go back and get your clothes. Are two buckets of hot water enough?"

"enough."

Liu Xiaoli nodded, and her black jade eyes looked deeply at the man in front of her.

She knew very well that there were no facilities for taking a shower on the train. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not accommodate her like this. He was the only one who would do this.

My heart feels warm.

The two returned to the carriage and no one seemed to be surprised.

"Xiao Liu, what are you going to do with the clothes?"

Seeing this, the mother and daughter in the lower bunk opposite asked curiously.

"Go wash up."

"oh oh."

After getting their clothes, they went to the bathroom.

Liu Xiaoli went in and Cheng Kaiyan was guarding outside. At night, all the passengers were sleeping and there was no one around.

He leaned against the door, and could hear the sound of water splashing and the girl's soft breathing. He thought that just with this sound, he could eat three big bowls of rice!
ten minutes later.

"Kaiyan...hand me the clothes."

The door opened a crack, revealing only half of the girl's pretty face, and she said shyly.

Cheng Kaiyan turned her head and was stunned to see that the girl's cheeks were white and rosy, her ears were red as blood, and her face was covered with mist and water droplets.

"hurry up!"

The girl was ashamed and angry, and she stomped her feet.

Only then did Cheng Kaiyan quickly hand in the clothes.

Two minutes later, Liu Xiaoli came out wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and loose trousers, barefoot in sandals. Her white feet were covered with unwiped water droplets, making her small feet more prominent like a lotus emerging from the water.

The toes are delicate, the nails are a healthy light pink, and after a bath, they have a faint warm fragrance.

As if they had noticed Cheng Kaiyan's undisguised gaze, the ten silkworms curled up together cutely, looking timid, just like their owner.

"Don't... don't look at it, okay?"

Liu Xiaoli pursed her lips and tightened her hands around the clothes.

She felt that there was something wrong with the guy in front of her!

Why are you staring at her feet? Are you a pervert?

She didn't mean to criticize Cheng Kaiyan.

I was just wondering, if it's true...how can I correct it?

This is a difficult question.

The girl was worried.

She made a note of this in her heart, pretended to pack up her things as if nothing had happened, then pushed Cheng Kaiyan in with her little hand and said, "I left some hot water for you, go wash up."

"Ah."

Cheng Kaiyan walked in. There was still a faint smell of steam and the hot fragrance from the soap in the bathroom.

Taking a bath is relatively simple for men. They just need to take off their clothes, rinse and wipe themselves.

This time it was Liu Xiaoli's turn to go outside for some fresh air. Actually, it didn't matter whether she went outside for some fresh air or not, after all, Cheng Kaiyan was a man.

But Liu Xiaoli still insisted on staying, as if to say, "Even if you are a man, you are still mine!"

After washing up, the two returned the bucket and returned to the carriage in their wet shoes.

When Hao Lifen and her daughter saw the two men coming in, they looked at them curiously. Seeing that they were covered in moisture, they suddenly widened their eyes and said, "Xiao Liu, did you take a shower?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over.

"Wow, you young people are smart and know how to enjoy life."

Li Su, wearing a military uniform, had a square face full of emotion.

The little girl Wang Wenwen was full of envy: "It's great to be able to take a shower. I'm almost smelly."

She looked at her mother, Hao Lifen, and said coquettishly, "Mom, I want to take a bath, too!"

"You're just washing your ass! Just make do with it for now."

Mother Hao Lifen naturally disagreed. Based on her many years of experience, she knew that these two young people were definitely not ordinary people.

Night fell.

Cicadas chirped outside the window.

In the narrow lower bunk, Liu Xiaoli lay close to the carriage, while Cheng Kaiyan slept on the outside to protect her inside.

Cheng Kaiyan sniffed the faint fragrance around her and fanned herself with an origami fan in her hand.

Liu Xiaoli leaned against his strong body, snuggled in his arms, feeling the breeze, and felt completely safe and comfortable.

The two of them gradually fell asleep.

The lights were on outside the carriage, and inside the carriage, a pair of eyes opened.

The next day, everyone was awakened by a burst of crying.
