Chapter 358 Game
Looking at Chu Mingzhou's somewhat angry and aggrieved expression, Su Nuannuan felt both annoyed and amused.

She patted Chu Mingzhou's hand and whispered.

"Keep a low profile, we're still outside."

Hearing Su Nuannuan's affectionate words, Chu Mingzhou blushed slightly, and his tightly clenched hands loosened.

Seeing the tender interaction between the two, Gao Yang suddenly relaxed.

He flashed a bright smile and greeted Chu Mingzhou in a friendly manner.

"Long time no see, Senior Brother Chu."

Chu Mingzhou's face was still somewhat cold, but it had improved considerably. He nodded politely.

Gao Yang noticed the two men following behind Chu Mingzhou, whose physiques were clearly more robust than those of ordinary people, and his eyes flashed.

One by one, everyone boarded the train, and Su Nuannuan and her group, led by Gao Yang, arrived at their respective seats.

Coincidentally, Gao Yang was sitting next to Su Nuannuan.

Upon seeing this, Chu Mingzhou's eyes showed even more resentment.

Gao Yang had no other thoughts. Seeing this, he quickly stood up and said to Chu Mingzhou, who was two seats away.

"Senior Brother Chu, I'd like to sit by the window. Could we switch seats?"

It wasn't that Gao Yang didn't want to sit here. It was that he didn't want Chu Mingzhou to keep watching him.

Seeing that Gao Yang was sensible, Chu Mingzhou nodded happily.

On the way over, they also gave Gao Yang a handful of salted pistachios.

Gao Yang sat down, and the two people who were with him also switched seats.

Su Nuannuan felt helpless, but she didn't stop him. Otherwise, Chu Mingzhou would definitely make things difficult for her.

This train journey will take a very long time.

Feeling a bit bored, Su Nuannuan took out a checkers game and everyone played together.

There were six people at Su Nuannuan's location: Chu Mingzhou and two others, Su Nuannuan, Ding Tong, and Lin Guangqi.

Chu Mingzhou also introduced the two people who were with him, named Xiong Li and Xi Lun.

The two men were clearly not ordinary people. Ding Tong and Lin Guangqi wisely refrained from asking about their identities.

It's more fun to play games together when everyone knows each other.

The checkers set was custom-made by Su Nuannuan. The checkers board was made of wood and had intricate carvings on it.

Six different colored transparent glass beads are placed in a box.

After Su Nuannuan finished setting up the chessboard, the attention of the others was completely drawn to it.

Chu Mingzhou had seen checkers before, and had played it a few times with Su Nuannuan. As soon as he saw Su Nuannuan's movements, he understood what she wanted to do.

After putting her things away, Su Nuannuan looked up at everyone and said.

"Let's play checkers together."

Everyone's curiosity had already been piqued. Seeing Su Nuannuan's invitation, they were all eager to participate.

In addition, they have to travel by train for five or six days. Without anything to pass the time, wouldn't they be bored to death?

Ding Tong was the first to respond.

She raised her hand and cheered.

"Okay, okay! I want to play."

Seeing that Ding Tong agreed, Lin Guangqi nodded and said.

"I'll join in too."

This was started by Su Nuannuan, and Chu Mingzhou nodded slightly in agreement.

"Count me in."

Finally, everyone's attention fell on the remaining Xiong Li and Er Xilun.

They joined the military in their teens. Most of their time was spent training and doing missions. To be honest, they had very little time to play. However, that doesn't mean they didn't want to play.

On the contrary, they wanted to play even more than Su Nuannuan and the others.

Seeing that there was no threat to Chu Mingzhou's safety in the surrounding area, Xiong Li and Xi Lun nodded, indicating their agreement to join.

Checkers is a game that tests players' ability to arrange pieces, and it also has a lot of fun.

For a while, everyone got quite engrossed in the game.

Of the six, Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou were the smartest, consistently leading and winning several times. Next were Xiong Li and Xi Lun, who had learned some military strategy in the army, so the game wasn't difficult for them.

Next up is Lin Guangqi. Especially Lin Guangqi, who managed to take on two opponents without losing; he's incredibly clever. As for Ding Tong, she's either on her way to save herself or on her way to being rescued by Lin Guangqi.

The fight between the men was intense and evenly matched, attracting a large audience.

Gao Yang was among them. The onlookers watched Ding Tong's somewhat clumsy movements and felt itchy to do the same.

Everyone gathered around, causing the train conductor, who came to inspect the carriage, to frown.

"Comrades, please don't block the way here, go back to your seats."

The train conductor's stern voice made everyone blocking the aisle blush.

The people in this carriage were mostly doctors going to provide support in the southern provinces. Everyone felt a little embarrassed by the train conductor's comment.

Soon, everyone dispersed and returned to their seats.

It was lunchtime.

The game was nearing its end, and in the end, Su Nuannuan won the final victory thanks to Chu Mingzhou's deliberate leniency.

Su Nuannuan smiled brightly and addressed the crowd.

"Let's eat something first. We can play again this afternoon."

Although the others still wanted to play, they were also a bit hungry. They all listened to Su Nuannuan and ate first.

Everyone took out the food they had brought and started eating.

Ding Tong brought two boxes of braised pork and a box of white rice. She placed the braised pork directly on the table and addressed everyone.

"Let's all eat together."

The rich aroma of meat, still steaming hot, made everyone swallow hard.

However, Su Nuannuan and the others waved their hands and did not agree.

Especially Xiong Li and Xi Lun, who came from the military and had even stricter codes of conduct. The two of them took out two grain cakes from their pockets and started eating them.

Lin Guangqi brought dumplings and wanted to share half with Ding Tong. However, Ding Tong, being a straightforward girl, refused.

Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou are from the same family, so there's no need to distinguish them so clearly; they can just eat together.

The pork slices and the flatbread I bought from the state-run restaurant this morning were incredibly delicious.

Seeing that Xiong Li and Xi Lun were eating too poorly, Su Nuannuan gave them half a can of pork slices and four oranges.

The two wanted to refuse, but Chu Mingzhou stopped them with a simple "I'll obey orders."

When they were transferred here to do the mission, they were instructed to follow Chu Mingzhou's orders.

Strictly speaking, Chu Mingzhou could be considered their 'temporary leader' during this period.

Xiong Li and Xi Lun eventually accepted the pork slices and oranges.

Su Nuannuan didn't forget Ding Tong and Lin Guangqi either, and shared some pork slices and oranges with them.

Ding Tong and Lin Guangqi were a little embarrassed, but the pork slices Su Nuannuan brought out smelled so good that they couldn't resist and agreed.

Ding Tong shared half of her braised pork with Su Nuannuan. Lin Guangqi also wanted to share dumplings with Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou. However, Su Nuannuan really didn't want to eat them and refused.

The pork slices were very fragrant, and the ingredients were plentiful; they were crispy and crunchy with every bite. The oranges were juicy and full of flavor; once you peeled them, the rich aroma instantly filled the carriage, drawing many people to look over.

As expected, anything produced by Space is bound to be of high quality.

Everyone likes it.
