Chapter 41 Arrival in Beijing
"In that case, I will definitely have Sister Ji Lan contact you later and invite you to my home."

Xu Mingyi said to Zhao Yalan and Su Nuannuan.

After learning that the other party knew her mother-in-law, Zhao Yalan no longer refused and agreed.

Su Nuannuan blinked and nodded in agreement.

No wonder, they're all big shots. She might need their help someday, so it's best to build relationships beforehand.

After Xu Mingyi left, the two looked at the two large bags on the seat and realized they had forgotten to ask him to take them.

Upon opening the bag, the two discovered that it contained two identical portions. Xu Mingyi had likely prepared two portions, perhaps knowing they weren't traveling together.

As expected, secretaries are all very thoughtful people.

It was full of food, the most common snacks of this era: canned beef, peach shortbread, White Rabbit milk candy...

"Nuan Nuan, let's accept it. Otherwise, Comrade Xu will definitely feel bad about it."

Su Nuannuan agreed. Xu Mingyi was a worker at the Beijing No. 1 Steel Plant, so he shouldn't lack these things. If they didn't accept them, he wouldn't know how to repay them.

Fortunately, these things aren't very valuable. Su Nuannuan thought to herself.

After Xu Mingyi left, Su Nuannuan ate dinner and then prepared to go to sleep.

At this moment, Zhao Yalan glanced at the two bags of food left by Xu Mingyi and gave him a reminder.

"Nuan Nuan, don't sleep too soundly. Be careful of pickpockets at night."

Zhao Yalan noticed that after Xu Mingyi left, many people had their eyes on the two large bags he had left for them. In particular, when Su Nuannuan took out the food from inside, even more people were watching.

"Okay, Sister Yalan, I'll be careful."

Su Nuannuan hadn't expected to have to watch out for pickpockets on the train. At this time, while people were generally honest, there were still some with questionable character. Pickpockets and child traffickers were the most common sights on trains. She didn't mind, though, because her valuables were all stored in her spatial storage.

Glancing at Zhao Yalan's haggard face, Su Nuannuan realized that the other woman hadn't rested all day. So, she made a suggestion.

"Sister Yalan, why don't you take a nap first? I'll watch your luggage for you."

Zhao Yalan quickly waved her hand, worried that it might cause Su Nuannuan to misunderstand, and hurriedly explained.

"Nuan Nuan, I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to remind you. If you want to sleep, go to sleep. I'll watch the luggage."

Knowing Zhao Yalan had misunderstood, Su Nuannuan smiled helplessly. Actually, having slept all afternoon, Su Nuannuan wasn't sleepy at all. It was just that the train journey was too boring. Now that all the lights were off, she could only pass the time by sleeping.

"Sister Yalan, I'm really not sleepy. You can go to sleep without worry."

Seeing that Su Nuannuan insisted, Zhao Yalan knew that the other party had not misunderstood and genuinely wanted her to rest.

In the end, Zhao Yalan succumbed to her physical exhaustion and agreed to Su Nuannuan's request.

"Okay. Nuannuan, I'm going to rest for a while. Wake me up in an hour."

Su Nuannuan nodded.

However, she did not wake Zhao Yalan an hour later.

Instead, after waiting for another three hours, Su Nuannuan felt sleepy herself and then woke Zhao Yalan up.

"Sister Yalan, wake up."

After being awakened, Zhao Yalan suddenly opened her eyes and quickly looked at the watch on her wrist, only to find that the hands pointed to midnight. She immediately panicked.

"Sorry, Nuannuan, I overslept."

Su Nuannuan patted Zhao Yalan's hand to comfort her.

"Sister Yalan, there's no need to apologize. I was just calling you."

Zhao Yalan knew that Su Nuannuan hadn't woken her up so that she could sleep a little longer, and she felt a little touched.

"Nuan Nuan, you go to sleep first. I'll keep watch."

Su Nuannuan nodded and quickly drifted off to sleep.

The next day, sunlight shone through the glass onto Su Nuannuan, making her feel anxious, and she quickly opened her eyes.

Looking at the time, Su Nuannuan realized it was already seven o'clock in the morning. She would arrive at her destination in two hours.

After waking up, Su Nuannuan greeted Zhao Yalan and Chu Huaying across from her, then turned and went to the restroom.

The toilets on the train are very small; including the sink, they are only two square meters in total.

When Su Nuannuan came in and saw the cramped space, she instantly lost the desire to wash up there.

She turned around and entered the space. After quickly tidying herself up, Su Nuannuan ate two steamed buns before coming out.

When she came out, a middle-aged woman was waiting at the door, looking at Su Nuannuan with a strange gaze.

Su Nuannuan touched her nose somewhat uncomfortably, realizing that she had been inside for too long.

When she returned to her seat, Zhao Yalan was packing her things.

"Nuan Nuan, we're almost at our stop. You should pack your things too."

Su Nuannuan nodded.

She packed everything she had taken out into two large bags, and then transferred some of the items inside into her spatial storage.

Su Nuannuan was worried that there would be too many people and it would be inconvenient when she got off the train, so she reduced the weight of her two large bags.

Woo woo

It was the sound of a train arriving at the station, and the announcement also reminded passengers that the train had arrived in Beijing.

Su Nuannuan, carrying her luggage, got off the car with Zhao Yalan.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saw a conspicuous sign in the distance.

The sign read: "Beijing University welcomes student Su Nuannuan."

Su Nuannuan never expected that such a simple and unpretentious way of picking people up existed in this era.

"Sister Yalan, the person who's here to pick me up has arrived. I'll go over there first."

Following the direction Su Nuannuan pointed, Zhao Yalan also saw the sign being held up and smiled.

"Go ahead, see you at our school."

"Ah."

Su Nuannuan smiled and waved to Zhao Yalan and Chu Huaying.

Su Nuannuan was quite satisfied with her first train journey in 60 years. She didn't encounter any awful people and even made a new friend, Zhao Yalan.

Even though there is an age difference between them, they get along very well and there is no barrier between them at all.

As Su Nuannuan approached the sign, she realized that the person holding it was a girl with short, ear-length hair.

The girl wore black-rimmed glasses and a blue school uniform, exuding an air of bookishness.

"Hello, I am Su Nuannuan."

Su Nuannuan stepped forward and greeted the girl.

The girl smiled shyly and whispered to Su Nuannuan.

"Hello, my name is Hong Xiu, and I am also a clinical medicine major. I am a sophomore this year."

Su Nuannuan smiled at Hong Xiu in a friendly manner.

Just as Su Nuannuan had predicted, Hong Xiu not only looked like a bookworm, but his personality was no less so.

When talking to Su Nuannuan, I didn't dare to look her in the eye, and my voice was very soft.

Even so, Su Nuannuan learned some things about the clinical medicine major.

At this time, clinical medicine is not a popular major, and generally no one applies. Last year, there was only one girl, Hong Xiu, who was assigned to the program. This year, there is only one girl, but Su Nuannuan applied voluntarily.

"So, there are only two girls in the clinical medicine major."

Su Nuannuan said in disbelief.

Hong Xiu nodded first, then shook her head and added.

"There are quite a few female seniors among the third and fourth year students."

"So, we're roommates?"

Su Nuannuan guessed.

Hong Xiu nodded.

"The dormitory is a four-person room. Besides the two of us, the other two are also freshmen this year."
