1972 There is a reason for being single
On the way to the train station by taxi, Cheng Xiaoyu inquired about the specific ticket information, and checked it twice before making sure that she read it correctly.
What she was about to take was an express train with a high-grade soft sleeper and lower berth, and her destination was Wutong City, which was thousands of kilometers away.
Now Cheng Xiaoyu understood that the next thing she was going to should be Shi Shenyuan's father's wine estate.
Because that manor belongs to Wutong City, and they have planned a trip to the wine manor for a long time.
Shen Yuan must have told her last night, but unfortunately she fell asleep too fast and fell asleep without hearing his words.
These are not important, the key is that it will take twenty hours to travel from Haicheng to Wutong City by this train...
Twenty hours, Cheng Xiaoyu did the math, and she won't arrive until nine o'clock tomorrow morning!
There is an airport in Wutong City, and Shi Shenyuan is also a person who pays attention to efficiency, why should he book a train ticket for her that will take nearly a day?
No flight booked?
Cheng Xiaoyu only thought of this possibility.
At 12:30 noon, Cheng Xiaoyu checked the ticket and entered the station, got on the train, and then found her compartment.
A room for two people with bunk beds. Opposite the bed is a sofa. Between the sofa and the bed, next to the train window is a small rectangular table.
The upper berth is currently empty. I don't know if the passenger hasn't arrived yet, or there is no one at all.
Cheng Xiaoyu put the suitcase under the bed where the luggage was placed, then sat on the sofa, looking at the platform outside the car window, feeling complicated.
Both excited and disappointed.
Excited because she has never been in a sleeper car at all since she grew up so big.
When I was a child, I always wanted to experience the sleeper, but the places my parents took her to were either short-distance trips without the need to take a sleeper, or long-distance trips, directly by plane.
Unexpectedly, when I was a child, my wish to take a sleeper car came true.
Lost, because Shi Shenyuan is not around, it's boring to be alone...
He took out his phone, took a selfie of himself sitting by the window, and sent it to Shi Shenyuan, "Mr. Shi, I'm getting in the car."
"Okay, stay safe."
"Got it!" She quickly added: "Boss Shi, have you made an appointment with Xiao Jiu and Gu Hanye?"
It was agreed before that the four of them will go to the wine estate together, but now she is the one who sets off alone, wondering if Xiao Jiu and Gu Hanye will still go...
Shi Shenyuan said that they have been contacted, and Xiao Jiu and Gu Hanye will also go, but they will fly there.
Thinking that her good friends will also go, Cheng Xiaoyu has more expectations for the trip to the wine estate.
But when he heard that the two of them would fly there, Cheng Xiaoyu finally couldn't help asking: "Mr. Shi, why don't you book a plane ticket for me?"
"It's not that I've never sat on a sleeper berth before, and I want to experience it. After a long journey, and time is not tight, I booked a train ticket for you."
"..."
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know what to say, and was a little bit dumbfounded.
So her straight steel man Mr. Shi thoughtfully helped her arrange a sleeper trip.
Let her spend 20 hours on the train bang bang dang bang dang, because he himself has no time to accompany her wandering on the road, he will fly over in a plane, and then reunite with her...
She silently typed a few words: "Thank you so much Mr. Shi..."
Shi Shen Yuan seemed quite happy, "You still want to thank me?"
Cheng Xiaoyu stroked his forehead.
Whenever this happens, she feels that there is a reason why Shi Shen Yuan has been single for so many years.
After reporting her safety to Mr. Shi, Cheng Xiaoyu took a photo of her ticket information and sent it to the three-person WeChat group of her and her parents to let her parents know what she was doing.
Dad gave some instructions, pay attention to your own things, and remember to lock the door when you go to bed at night.
My mother learned that she was taking the train alone, probably because she was afraid that they would quarrel, so she asked her why Shen Yuan wasn't with her and why she didn't take the plane.
Cheng Xiaoyu had no choice but to explain, saying that Shen Yuan was busy with work and they would meet in Wutong City.
As for why she didn't take the plane, Cheng Xiaoyu had no choice but to make a perfunctory statement, she wanted to experience life...
After that, she put away her mobile phone and continued to look out of the car window with her chin resting on her chin. The departure time was getting closer, and the number of passengers getting on the bus gradually decreased.
Will it be like the last time she ran away secretly, Shi Shenyuan squeezed up just before the start of the car, sat next to her, and gave her a surprise?
Just thinking about it, a tall man appeared in her line of sight.
Cheng Xiaoyu sat up straight all of a sudden, put a sticker on the car window, and stared at the figure closely.
The man approached and got into the car, Cheng Xiaoyu also sighed in disappointment, but the figure and hairstyle were always a bit like hers, not Shi Shenyuan.
The train moved slowly and left the platform.
She took another look at the top bunk, which was still empty.
In fact, I was still thinking just now, maybe Mr. Shi booked the upper berth.
But her top bunk didn't show up, it became her own single room.
Quietness is quietness, and hope has completely returned to zero. This time, Shen Yuan didn't surprise her. Next, she will wander alone on the train for 20 hours...
Cheng Xiaoyu turned her eyes away from the window, took out a novel from her schoolbag, put on the earphones and started reading.
This is her magic weapon against boredom.
But maybe it was because of drinking the day before, and because of the fierce physical confrontation before going to bed, Cheng Xiaoyu was a little sluggish. After reading the novel for a while, the upper and lower eyelids started to fight, and the small characters on the pages became hazy. Obscure, look at the series.
Finally unable to support herself anymore, Cheng Xiaoyu covered her face with the book, lay down on the arm of the sofa and fell asleep.
The wheels clanging beneath him became the background sound in his sleep.
How the scene outside the window changes, Cheng Xiaoyu also misses it all.
No one enjoys the scenery together, and the emptiness and loneliness become the main theme.
When I opened my eyes again, the sky was already completely dark, and outside the window were stretches of pitch-black mountains, and the train was driving in the silent world.
Cheng Xiaoyu was a little lost in thought as her own shadow reflected on the glass window.
Far from familiar places, traveling alone is indeed a special feeling, and there is a sense of loneliness that everyone else is passing by.
After staring at her own shadow for a while, Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly burst out with emotion: 100 years ago, you were not you, and I was not me. 100 years later, without you and without me.
So I posted a circle of friends, with a photo of myself reflected on the car window.
Her steel straight man liked it in seconds, and left a message: "The restaurant is in the No. 9 car, go eat when you are hungry."
Cheng Xiaoyu replied with a string of ellipses.
Every time she wanted to be literary and profound, Shi Shenyuan would take her to eat good food, and instantly put her back to her original foodie form.
By Mr. Shi's side, she is destined not to become a literary young woman.
But when Shen Yuan really understood her, she was indeed hungry.
So I put away my phone and went to the dining car for food.
He walked out of his box, identified the direction of the No. [-] car, and then walked along the corridor towards the dining car.
There was a strong smell of alcohol in the hallway.
