Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 469 An Encounter on the Train (5K)

Zeng Wenjie specially rode his old-fashioned bicycle to come, but Mu Qingyang not only didn't mind at all, but actually liked it very much.

She jumped onto the back seat, waved to Grandpa Dong, and said, "Goodbye, Grandpa Dong, I'll be back later."

Grandpa Dong, with a cigarette between his fingers, smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I'll open the door for you no matter how late it is."

Grandpa Dong thought Mu Qingyang was a perfect girl. She was beautiful, polite, and now she was more lively. She was almost flawless.

Thinking about it, it has to be Zeng who's capable, to make such a pretty girl willingly run down from her dorm to light his cigarette.

Mu Qingyang sat sideways on the back of the bicycle, holding Zeng Wenjie's waist, and said happily, "Faster, pedal faster, why are you so slow?"

Zeng Wenjie sneered, "Why don't you try pedaling!"

Mu Qingyang refused, saying, "I don't want to! I've been shopping all day and I can't pedal a bike!"

“With legs this long, it’s a shame you don’t ride a bike,” Zeng Wenjie said.

"Shouldn't someone with long legs be used as a gun mount?" Mu Qingyang asked innocently.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Wenjie nearly swerved his car into a ditch. He couldn't help but turn to look at her and ask, "Who told you that?"

Mu Qingyang honestly betrayed the old driver, "Little Bai Bai!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Fortunately, I have loved Italian cannons since I was a child."

Mu Qingyang tilted his head, completely unable to understand the implications.

"It's been so long since I've ridden on your bicycle!" Mu Qingyang suddenly said.

"If you like riding bicycles around, I'll take you for a few laps when I have time," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

Unhurriedly, he rode his bike to the startup base, and then Mu Qingyang took out his keys and opened the door to room 208.

Zeng Wenjie transformed room 208 into an activity room where students can play cards and employees can have fun with them during their breaks.

“You know your stuff, don’t you, Room Manager Mu?” Zeng Wenjie said.

"Of course," Mu Qingyang said smugly.

Her busiest task now is to come here to open the door for everyone after dinner every day. If she arrives late, she will be bombarded with phone calls urging her to hurry up.

Although "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" can now be played online, students at Fengyuan still prefer to play card games offline, where the atmosphere is better and more fun.

Mu Qingyang said, "It's been a long time since I've watched anime. Let's watch Dragon Ball!"

Zeng Wenjie found his reserved seat and sat down, then let Mu Qingyang sit in his lap and they began watching anime together.

For men, Dragon Ball is something they can watch countless times without ever getting tired of it.

Before he had even finished watching the first episode, Zeng Wenjie noticed that Mu Qingyang was leaning against him without making a sound. He leaned over to check and found that Mu Qingyang had fallen asleep.

Before leaving home, she stubbornly insisted that she wasn't tired, but obviously, after playing all day, it's impossible not to be tired.

After sleeping for more than an hour, Mu Qingyang woke up in surprise and exclaimed, "I actually fell asleep!"

Zeng Wenjie nodded lazily and said, "Of course, you fell asleep before you even finished watching one episode. How dare you say you weren't tired?"

Mu Qingyang pouted and said, "I wasn't tired before I left, but I got a little tired after I left. Walking from the dormitory to the dormitory building entrance was the last straw that broke the camel's back!"

Zeng Wenjie found that she was becoming more and more eloquent, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Did you do something bad?"

"No!" Zeng Wenjie immediately denied.

"Why are the buttons on my shirt undone?"

"You must have torn it when you left."

"Pah! Pah! Pah! I'm not that stupid. Every time I go out to see you, I look in the mirror very carefully."

After saying that, Mu Qingyang blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

Zeng Wenjie then said earnestly and helplessly, "The weather is perfect, and I'm in a great mood. I've recently read many great philosophical books, but I still can't understand how humanity has accomplished such a magnificent and enduring lineage. So, with a heart full of exploratory thought and a sincere heart, with my fingers that love to contemplate all things, I gently touched this great woman's land that nurtures her offspring..."

"???"

Mu Qingyang thought he was going to give some philosophical discourse, but it turned out that he was just looking for an excuse for his lewd behavior just now.

She couldn't hold back any longer and turned around to gently tap Zeng Wenjie on the head twice.

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but laugh. Looking at her pouting lips, he couldn't resist hugging her and giving her a big kiss.

"Little Zeng, you're a little naughty!" Mu Qingyang said, slightly out of breath.

Zeng Wenjie shut down the computer and said, "Alright, let's go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, we'll go outside the school to get some Changwang noodles, and then head straight to the train station!"

Mu Qingyang said, "Okay, okay!"

After exiting the door of 208, Mu Qingyang carefully locked it, then put the key in his pocket and gently patted it to make sure it was safe.

Zeng Wenjie rode his bicycle to take Mu Qingyang back, and then returned to his dormitory.

As expected, none of the three scoundrels stayed in the dormitory; they all went out.

Xu Chuan has probably gone home, and Lin Zhenshan and Wang Bo have most likely gone to get a foot massage. Perfect timing, I can use this time to write "Battle Through the Heavens" without restraint.

Zeng Wenjie has already discussed with the counselor that everyone will go to see "Village BA" on May 4th. Those who want to go can come to the school to meet, while those who are too lazy to go can make their own arrangements during the holiday.

I've been too busy lately and haven't had much time to write. I'm just managing to keep going with a few drafts I've squeezed out.

When I turned on my computer, a flood of information came in, so I had to process it first before I could open Word and get to work.

Zeng Wenjie glanced at the calendar he hadn't looked at in a long time, and sure enough, Dog Brother had lived up to his expectations, still marking "Day 0 of abstinence," which made him very satisfied.

Young people should be all about their legs and taking off as much as possible.

The next day, he quickly got up, grabbed a backpack, and went out to call Mu Qingyang. They met at the school gate.

As a result, three light bulbs suddenly appeared...

Mu Qingyang said somewhat awkwardly, "They insisted on coming with me and wouldn't let me go alone."

Zeng Wenjie frowned and said, "What do you mean? You think you're not bright enough?"

Ouyang Yun immediately put his hands on his hips and said, "Jiezi, it's not that we think we're not bright enough, it's that we're worried that stupid Mumu will be bullied by you."

Zeng Wenjie sneered, "Stupid? If you've got the guts, you can at least get into a top-tier university without even taking the English exam."

Jiang Yu said, "Grades are grades, don't use grades as an excuse! Just tell me if you're going to take us or not!"

Zeng Wenjie said coldly, "I won't bring it."

Niu Fangfang said with a grin, "If you're not taking us, we'll just buy our own tickets and come along, hey!"

Zeng Wenjie said resentfully, "You've changed your mind so quickly now? It seems like you guys don't want to eat snacks anymore, right?"

Ouyang Yun grabbed Mu Qingyang's arm and said, "We've already latched onto the boss lady's leg, so why would we be worried about not having snacks? Hehe!"

Mu Qingyang said helplessly, "Just take them with you. When you're out in the game, you have to be loyal to your friends."

"???"

Zeng Wenjie was stunned by these words. Had Xiao Mu watched too many Hong Kong movies?

There was nothing Zeng Wenjie could do; the three gossipy sisters were shameless enough to insist on going out with him, and Zeng Wenjie couldn't very well force them to leave. Besides, they all got along quite well.

After treating everyone to breakfast, we took two taxis straight to the train station, queued up, and bought tickets to Wushui County using our ID cards.

The experience of queuing to buy tickets made Zeng Wenjie nostalgic for the smartphone era, when you could just buy tickets and enter the station by scanning your phone. Why would you have to go through all that trouble queuing?

Besides, these days, there are so many pickpockets at train stations, so he told the girls to put their wallets in their inner pockets—that's some experience from the streets.

Seeing the crowded train station, Mu Qingyang moved closer to Zeng Wenjie, stretched out his right hand, and poked at the back of Zeng's hand with a finger.

Zeng Wenjie grabbed her hand and said, "Tickets bought, let's go in!"

Jiang Yu said, "I've heard that Wushui County is a romantic ancient town. I wonder if I'll be able to meet a romantic handsome guy?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "You will meet a handsome guy who is just as carefree as you."

Jiang Yu immediately glared at him fiercely and said, "I just like to have some fun, so what?!"

Zeng Wenjie said, "You smoke, drink, go to nightclubs, and hook up with rich guys, but you're a good girl, right?" These words made the girls laugh, and even Jiang Haiwang himself laughed and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes."

The environment inside the train station wasn't very good, and the waiting room was filled with a very unpleasant smell.

So Zeng Wenjie chose a corner, where there were exactly four seats.

He sat down first, and then the three gossipy sisters also rushed to sit down. Mu Qingyang was a beat too slow and missed.

Zeng Wenjie gently patted his leg.

Mu Qingyang could only pretend not to see it. She would rather commit suicide than sit on Zeng Wenjie's lap in front of so many people.

It was unprecedented for me to muster the courage to compete with Chu Qingbai for a seat.

"Please sit down, I'll go buy some water and snacks. Things are more expensive on the train," Zeng Wenjie said.

Jiang Yu then mocked Mu Qingyang, saying, "So you do have a sense of shame after all!"

Mu Qingyang asked fiercely, "Where have I been shameless?"

Jiang Yu said, "When you were in the dorm, you were always reading his news, and when you got excited, you'd hug his photos and kiss them. We called you shameless, and you said you were shameless. What, are you denying it now!"

Mu Qingyang's face was contorted, but fortunately, the noise from the crowd prevented Zeng Wenjie from hearing anything as he walked toward the convenience store.

She grabbed Jiang Yu and put her arm around her neck, saying, "If you say another word, I'll choke you naked!"

Jiang Yu hurriedly raised her hands and said, "Quickly help me, you two!"

Ouyang Yun and Niu Fangfang immediately squeezed over and reached out to poke Mu Qingyang's armpits and waist.

Given Mu Qingyang's impressive performance during that friendly exchange with the Chongqing Martial Arts Club, the three sisters have reached a consensus: to join forces against her and avoid being "bullied" by her.

By the time Zeng Wenjie returned, everything had returned to normal.

Mu Qingyang said resentfully, "When you're not around, they all bully your girlfriend!"

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Go ahead and throw them! Did you learn Jiu-Jitsu for nothing? You can throw one kid at a time!"

Ouyang Yun asked, "Buying some snacks is fine, but why buy instant noodles?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "You don't understand. Eating instant noodles on a train is what gives it soul. You can choose not to eat them."

Ouyang Yun stubbornly replied, "Fine, I won't eat it. What's so great about instant noodles? I'm tired of them in the dorm."

Mu Qingyang often brings them breakfast, but not every day. So, when no one brings breakfast, Yunzi eats Master Kong instant noodles instead.

Therefore, she felt that she was tired of instant noodles.

When it was almost time to check tickets, a long line formed outside the iron gate. Zeng Wenjie had Ouyang Yun stand at the front, while he and Mu Qingyang stood at the back.

When he was bored, he put his hand on Mu Qingyang's shoulder and gently kneaded her cheek. Her fair skin felt so good, so smooth and slippery, that he didn't want to let go.

Mu Qingyang didn't resist being kneaded and pinched by him.

After passing through the ticket gate and entering the station, walk for a while to reach the platform, find the carriage and board the train according to the information on the ticket.

Zeng Wenjie bought a soft sleeper berth because it has a private room and he wouldn't be disturbed.

The train is quite slow, and we won't arrive in Wushui County until the afternoon, where we can comfortably lie down in a sleeper berth.

Of course, he paid for the tickets, and Mu Qingyang's roommates shamelessly came along this time, so he naturally had to treat them well.

After all, when he wasn't at school, Mu Qingyang received a lot of care from these three gossipy sisters.

After finding the private room, they rushed inside, and then the three gossipy sisters went too far by discussing whether or not to kick Zeng Wenjie out.

The private room was for four people, so Zeng Wenjie bought a standing ticket, which saved him some money.

Is he probably the first billionaire these days to buy a standing ticket?

"Don't go too far, or I'll let Xiao Mu throw you all." Zeng Wenjie pressed on Mu Qingyang's shoulder. "Give them a taste of their own medicine!"

"Awoo, awoo awoo~" Mu Qingyang imitated a wolf's howl, making everyone laugh to death.

Just then, a woman carrying a drawing board hurriedly ran into the station and caught the train that was about to depart.

Zeng Mi also chose to go to Wushui County today.

Wushui County is, after all, an ancient city, and it is adjacent to the Changhe River, with excellent scenery, making it a perfect place for her to find inspiration.

The characters in "Hero Kill" are all famous figures from ancient history. Zeng Mi felt that she had been lacking inspiration recently, so she thought of taking advantage of this holiday to visit Wushui County.

She didn't drive either, partly because the road was long, and partly because traffic was heavy and difficult during holidays.

Zeng Mi didn't buy a sleeper ticket when traveling alone; she bought a seat ticket instead. This would avoid the awkward situation of bumping into three men in a compartment. Besides, she was a bit timid these days and felt that a seat ticket was safer, especially since there would be more people in the compartment.

The carriage was still spacious, so Zeng Mi found her seat, sat down, and let out a long sigh.

There was a traffic jam on the way, and I almost missed this bus on my way here.

There is only one train a day that passes through Wushui County. If you miss it, you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Zeng Mi hadn't left Fengzhou City for a long time, and she really wanted to go out and travel.

Leaving the province is not an option for now. Due to the special circumstances, once we leave the border of Chongshan Province, an alarm will be triggered, which will be quite troublesome.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, listening to the noisy voices around her, and the sound of the train moving and colliding with the rails, Zeng Mi quickly felt a rare sense of peace.

She recalled an advertising slogan: "It doesn't matter what the destination is, it only matters what you see along the way and the people who see it."

Therefore, she believes that she fits this advertising slogan quite well.

She heard her phone ring, saw it was Feng Xiao, answered it, and asked, "What is it?"

Feng Xiao said, "It's a holiday, why don't we go out and have some fun together?"

Zeng Mi said, "I'm already on my way."

Feng Xiao snorted after hearing this and said, "You're such a jerk! You went out to play by yourself without even telling me? By the way, did you even report it to me?"

Zeng Mi said, "Would I dare buy a ticket without reporting it to them?"

Feng Xiao said, "Alright, when are you coming back? Let's grab a couple of drinks."

Zeng Mi thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a couple of days. I'll call you when I get back."

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Mi felt that she still envied Feng Xiao's open-mindedness and carefree attitude. She thought that she had experienced all of this and that her life had been sublimated, but in fact she had gained relatively little.

Zeng Mi picked up the teacup from her backpack, preparing to go to the back of the carriage to get hot water to brew the tea leaves.

She loved drinking, but worried that it would harm her health, so during the day she would secretly drink health-preserving tea, as if she thought that this could counteract the harm that alcohol did to her.

Just as Zeng Mi finished filling the hot water container, she heard a familiar voice. Turning her head, she saw a group of people walking out of the compartment in the adjacent sleeper car.

She froze, hurriedly twisted the lid, turned around, and quickly walked towards her seat with her head down.

The scalding hot water in the teacup spilled out accidentally, landing on her wrist and the back of her hand, burning her with excruciating pain. But she gritted her teeth and swallowed the pain.

She didn't even bother to wipe the water off her hands; she simply kept her head down and quickly walked back to her seat, turning her back to the group of people.

Zeng Wenjie was surrounded by four chattering girls, so he didn't notice anything when he came out of the private room.

Zeng Mi saw the girl who made her feel inferior again, which made her face full of bitterness. Her scalded skin was red, swollen and burning, but it was nothing compared to the sadness in her heart.

"Ugh……"

She couldn't help but sigh softly. She wondered if Dai Wangshu's hearing had transcended time and space at that moment, and if he had heard that sigh as delicate as lilac blossoms, which was why he wrote "Rainy Alley".

So much sorrow, so much heartache, just as the frown fades from my brow, it rises again in my heart.

Zeng Mi couldn't help but twist her neck to take a look, and saw them chatting happily while making instant noodles.

After hot water was poured into the instant noodles, a faint aroma wafted out, making her want to eat it for a moment.

After they had all finished making their instant noodles and returned to their original carriages, Zeng Mi waved to a train attendant who was pushing a cart and bought a cup of instant noodles from him. After tearing it open, she quietly went to the far end of the carriage to get hot water.

After preparing the noodles, Zeng Mi ate them with a fork, but found them tasteless, only tasting a salty flavor that resembled tears.

Inside the sleeper compartment, the five of them ate instant noodles together, slurping them loudly, and they all felt that the instant noodles on the train seemed to have a special flavor.

Zeng Mi composed herself, but the mood that had perfectly captured the advertising slogan was already gone...
