Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Green Train
"Then thank you for your insight?" I sneered, slightly self-deprecating.
"Then do you still think I'm a rude and unreasonable rich lady?"
I thought about it and said, "Hmm...... It's a little rude, and it's a little unreasonable, but it's still a little different from the behavior of those gentlemen! I said with a mixture of praise.
"Where am I being rude and unreasonable? You said! Mu Xichun disagreed, and reached out and twisted my ear.
I was in pain, and she let go of her hand after a few screams.
"And say you're not rude and unreasonable? Look at what kind of behavior you have? I shouted disgruntled.
"You still say?" Mu Xichun's hand grabbed my ear and made a gesture to twist.
"Okay, my eldest lady, you are not rude, you are very reasonable, okay! Let it go! I hurriedly changed my tune and begged for mercy.
Mu Xichun seemed to be very satisfied with my performance and let go of my ears.
Mu Xichun put his chin on my shoulder again, put his mouth to my ear and said, "Can we go back to the company later?" ”
"Why?"
"I still want to spend a day here, can I?" Her tone instantly changed back to that of a well-behaved little girl.
"No, I can delay it for a day, you can't!"
"Why?" Mu Xichun said angrily.
"You disappeared silently like this, I don't know how the villains in the company will beat you and calculate you, buy a ticket back to the company after going down the mountain!"
"What about you?" Mu Xichun was slightly depressed.
"Naturally, I bought a train ticket to go back, and I can probably go back to work tomorrow."
"Can I take the train back with you, then?" Mu Xichun's tone was a little begging, if the people in the company saw her little woman's style, their jaws would definitely drop.
It's just that I can only pretend to be stupid at the moment, because I can't figure out what kind of emotion she has for me.
Even if I take 10,000 steps back and she really falls in love with me, I can't let go of my emotions, I know that there is a barrier between me and her that cannot be crossed, called class difference.
"No! You have also seen this kind of small place, not only are there few trains coming and going, but the conditions are very poor, how can you stand it for more than ten hours? "I'm telling the truth.
It's unbearable for me to be a rough old man, let alone her eldest lady!
"You can take the train, why can't I? If I don't agree, I'm going to take the train! Mu Xichun twisted her body on my back in protest.
"No way!"
I'm going to get to the bottom of it.
"I don't care, if you don't agree, then I won't leave, you go yours, I'm going to play here for a day and then go back!"
I didn't expect her to cheat too!
"You let me down, you go yours, don't worry about me!"
She struggled to get off my back.
I sighed inwardly, knowing that she insisted on taking the train because she wanted to be alone with me a little longer.
I said again in my heart: Why are you so troubled! I can't remember how many times this monologue has been repeated in my mind in the past two days.
"Well, since you want to ask for your own hardship, then it's up to you, don't regret it then!" I said helplessly.
Mu Xichun saw that I finally relented, and the expression that was angry just now suddenly became happy.
"Alright then, let's go!"
As he spoke, he gave birth to his arms and made a gesture to ask me to carry it.
I was speechless, and without looking at her, I turned around and walked first.
"Hey! Wait, my leg hurts, you can carry me again! Mu Xichun shouted behind me.
"It hurts you!" I replied loudly without looking back.
Mu Xichun and I finally got on the passing train to City A in the afternoon of the same day, as I expected, the sleeper and box of the train were full, and Mu Xichun and I only had hard seats to choose from.
Mu Xichun's beautiful face and excellent temperament naturally attracted the passengers in the next position to look sideways, and they didn't forget to look at me when admiring Mu Xichun's beauty, they probably thought that I, a seemingly ordinary guy, how could I be worthy of this beauty.
Although Mu Xichun is not my girlfriend, in such a attention, my vanity is still greatly satisfied.
Mu Xichun seems to rarely take this kind of green train, and he looks at the scenery outside the window with great interest all the way. But as soon as the night came, she wilted, and about two days of running around made her very tired, lying on the small table with a pair of big eyes a little listless, but such an environment made her unable to sleep.
I was a little distressed, and asked the conductor several times if there was a sleeper to make up, but the answer to me was no.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Mu Xichun finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and dozed off in his seat. Several times I almost planted it.
I saw that she was really uncomfortable, so I reached out and gently took her into my arms, and she didn't struggle in the slightest, as if she didn't feel my movements.
I put my arm around her shoulder, smelling the fragrance of her hair, and my heart felt a little sore.
I was stiff until I sat there all night, my body had become numb after a long period of inactivity, but I didn't dare to move, for fear of waking up Mu Xichun in my arms.
Although I haven't figured out what kind of emotion she has for me like this, it is because of me that she has exhausted herself so much, and it makes up for a little guilt in my heart.
Fortunately, in the middle of the night, a passenger next to him got out of the car, and the three-seater chair was empty, and it didn't look so cramped. I carefully moved to the edge of the seat, and then gently put Mu Xichun flat on the seat, letting her head rest on my lap, which made me feel a lot more relaxed.
I finally stayed up until it was slightly bright, and although I was sleepy and tired that night, I never closed my eyes.
I've been thinking about Mu Xichun's change in attitude towards me and all the possible endings between the two of us, but in the end, I only got a positive answer, that is, there is no ending between us.
When the sun rose, Mu Xichun finally woke up, she sat up and opened her eyes with difficulty, obviously she didn't sleep well, it is not surprising, it is strange that such a place can sleep well.
She brushed her long, silky hair, which didn't need to be taken care of at all, when the train just happened to leave a mountain col, and a ray of morning sun shone in through the window.
I looked at Mu Xichun, who happened to be in the backlight, and suddenly remembered the scene when Mu Xichun and I met for the first time in the company.
The scene at that time was recreated again, and in the haze, I could only vaguely see her face, which was not very real, but there was a kind of breathtaking beauty.
When my eyes adjusted to the sudden light, and I could see her face clearly, her still sleepy-eyed expression was staring at me motionlessly.
"How did I lie down?" She clearly hasn't figured out the situation yet.
"The passenger next to me got off the bus, and there was plenty of space for you to lie down, which I thought might be a little more comfortable!" I explain.
"You haven't slept all night?" She asked again.
I was about to speak, but a silver-haired old lady sitting across from me was stealing the conversation.
"Girl, your boyfriend is so sweet, you slept on his lap all night, and he didn't close his eyes all night, staring at your face all the time! But it's no wonder that the girl is so good-looking, she can't get enough of it all the time! ”
The old lady said this with a smile on her face.
As soon as I heard this, I was immediately embarrassed, knowing that she had misunderstood, and I was busy trying to explain, but Mu Xichun took the lead.
"Thank you Auntie for the compliment, in fact, how can I be so good-looking!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head shyly, his white cheeks showed a touch of redness, and he was embarrassed to look at the old lady again.
This expression is really the only time I've ever seen it in my life, and I didn't expect her to be shy. However, she did not explain the old lady's misunderstanding at all.
I don't want to be misunderstood by others for no reason, seeing that Mu Xichun has no meaning to explain, I just want to explain.
"Actually......"
"Is what Auntie said true? Are you really watching me all the time while I'm asleep? Mu Xichun suddenly interrupted me, her eyes fixed on my face.
I was dumbfounded, what's going on? Mu Xichun obviously knew what I was going to say, and it was already obvious that she deliberately interrupted me, and she didn't want me to explain.
Well, since she doesn't think there is anything in this misunderstanding, why should I explain it, from which point of view this misunderstanding is that I am more advantageous.
"Young man, your girlfriend is so pretty, treat her well! I think you are very affectionate, it's really enviable! The old lady spoke again.
When I heard this, my face was slightly hot, and it seemed that the misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper.
However, what I didn't expect was that Mu Xichun turned her face to me as soon as the old lady's voice fell, and said in a questioning tone, "Did you hear that?" If you don't treat me well, there are times when you regret it! ”
"I ......"
I was stunned, my heart was like a thousand troops sailing by, I never thought that Mu Xichun would say such a thing to me, even if it was a joke, it was too explicit, and the old lady sang and harmonized.
"I think you two are quite husband and wife! This is fate, you must cherish it! The old lady was still happy to say nice things, and I didn't notice that my eyes were flashing in a cold sweat.
"Really?" Mu Xichun seemed to be quite interested in this matter, and asked.
I laughed in my heart, how can there be a person in this world who knows whether he can do the things of husband and wife just by looking at his appearance, it's ridiculous, anyway, I never believe these words.
"Of course, it's not wrong to live to look at people at my age!" The old lady said firmly.
I laughed again in my heart, and said in my heart: Then you really lived to such an old age in vain!
Mu Xichun seemed to be in a happy mood when she heard the old lady's words, turned around and gave me an eyebrow and said, "Did you hear that?" ”
“……”
I had another chill.
Fortunately, the old lady arrived at the station soon, and I really doubt that if we ride together for a while, she will take the two of us directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate on the spot, so that she can feel at ease.
As soon as the old lady got out of the car, I turned my head and scolded Mu Xichun: "Are you stupid, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Mu Xichun was not angry, but looked at me with a smile, and then suddenly burst into laughter, attracting the attention of all four, Mu Xichun hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, but still couldn't help laughing.
