A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

TRAIN STATION.

"Comrade, I need a ticket to Hebei Province!" Lin Yinyin said urgently, clutching the money.

She practically scrambled out of the bed after it collapsed.

She was drugged and was looking for an antidote, not looking for suffering!

That man's strength was simply outrageous and frightening.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their strengths were worlds apart.

At first, she was full of energy and kept pushing herself, but later she was completely suppressed and he was the one on top!

Fortunately, the bed collapsed, and she managed to crawl out—no, run out—through the chaos!

Oh oh oh!

Why is she so unlucky!

If she had known, she should have gone for that Snow Leopard guy, or even the lame Jiang Feng!

The ticket seller looked up at the tearful girl and asked, "Which day do you want?"

"Today or tomorrow is fine! The sooner the better," Lin Yinyin replied quickly.

She needs to run away quickly!

She's doomed if that man catches up with her!

"Sleeper berth or hard seat?"

"Sleeper berth!" Lin Yinyin said without thinking.

It takes more than 30 hours to get from here to Hebei Province. Her small body can't take any more of that kind of travel.

"no."

"What about hard seats?"

"No, not at all."

Lin Yinyin: "..." So all that talk was for nothing.

The ticket seller was a little embarrassed, "Tickets to Hebei Province for today and tomorrow are sold out. If you want to buy tickets, come back to queue up the day after tomorrow."

"What?" Lin Yinyin's heart skipped a beat.

How can we wait until the day after tomorrow?

She and the man had run into each other seven times in the past two days—one, two, three... and even at the black market!

It's like a persistent ghost!

If she stayed in this place for another day, who knows if he would catch her red-handed?

Moreover, he has eight soldiers under his command, so the probability of her being found is almost one hundred percent!

We must leave today; we cannot linger any longer!

Immediately, she changed to a pitiful look, "Comrade, please have mercy! My brother-in-law is a battalion commander in the Hebei Provincial Military Region. He was injured on a mission a couple of days ago and is lying in the hospital with no one to take care of him."

My sister is raising her two-month-old baby by herself, and she also has a seventy-year-old mother-in-law and a lame father-in-law to take care of at home. She really couldn't spare the time, so she asked me to rush over and lend a hand.

Could you please make an exception?

I don't care about the upper or lower berth, a hard seat or aisle seat is fine too, just give me one ticket.

When I arrive at the military region, I will definitely write you a thank-you letter to praise you as a good comrade who serves the people and cares for military families!

The ticket seller was moved when she heard "military family members" and "thank you letter".

Seeing this, Lin Yinyin added fuel to the fire, "Comrade, do you have a pen? I'll write the thank-you letter now, then work on it in the car, and mail it over when we get to the military post office."

A thank-you letter with a military region postmark carries more weight and credibility!

"This...I can't make that decision."

The ticket seller said, "Wait a minute, I'll go report to my supervisor." After saying that, she got up and walked towards the office behind the window.

A short while later, a middle-aged man with a slightly protruding belly followed him out.

He sized up the dark-skinned Lin Yinyin and still spoke politely: "Hello comrade, I am Zhu Jianguo, the director of the station."

I just heard about your situation from Xiao Wang. Soldiers protect the country, so it's our duty to take care of their families. It's our responsibility to serve the people!

Lin Yinyin understood and quickly nodded, "Director Zhu is right! Soldiers shed blood and sweat on the front lines, so we in the rear must take good care of their families!"

Zhu Jianguo smiled and softened his tone: "What a coincidence, there's a special train to Hebei Province tonight, and there's one upper berth left. It's just a bit noisy near the front of the train. Is that alright?"

"Great! Absolutely fantastic!"

Lin Yinyin said nice things without hesitation. "Our Lotus Station can provide such thoughtful service, it must be because of a good leader like you at the helm!"

You are even more thoughtful than Zhuge Liang, keeping the difficulties of soldiers' families in mind. You are truly a caring person who cares about the people!

Zhu Jianguo laughed heartily at the praise, "Comrade Lin, you're too kind! This is what we should do!"

He spoke modestly, but the smile in his eyes was unmistakable.

These days, who doesn't want to be praised for their upright conduct and concern for the masses? Especially when the praise is associated with "military family members," it sounds very comforting.

The ticket seller, Xiao Wang, quickly rummaged through her drawer and pulled out a stack of stationery and a pen, handing them to Lin Yinyin. "Comrade Lin, paper and pen are ready for you!"

Lin Yinyin took it and wrote more than 500 words in a long and fluent style.

Zhu Jianguo took a look and his eyes narrowed with laughter: "What a talented young lady!"

He turned to the ticket seller and said, "Give her a ticket for the special train at 8 PM tonight, upper berth."

The ticket seller quickly printed out the ticket and handed it over.

Just as Lin Yinyin was about to pay, Zhu Jianguo waved his hand and said, "A sleeper ticket to Hebei Province usually costs seven or eight yuan, but we're practically 'relatives'."

"The affairs of military families are our affairs; taking care of them is our duty. This money is waived!"

"Thank you so much, Station Chief Zhu! And thank you to Comrade Wang too! I'll definitely polish it up a bit more on the way!"

"Hahaha! Good, good, good."

And that's how Lin Yinyin managed to get a ticket for the special train.

***

With an hour to spare before departure, Lin Yinyin planned to find a guesthouse to freshen up, as she could no longer bear to look at herself in her current attire.

There was a state-run guesthouse near the train station. She booked a room and went straight to the bathroom.

Half an hour later, Lin Yinyin stood in front of the mirror, stunned.

After washing away the dirt, a face with soft, beautiful features was revealed.

Her slender, almond-shaped eyes, with slightly upturned corners, were full of lively energy as they moved.

Her straight nose added a touch of three-dimensionality to her face, and her small lips were slightly upturned, with two shallow dimples hidden at the corners of her mouth.

"Holy crap! What a beautiful, delicate face!"

She couldn't help but touch her face.

No wonder people used to stare at her. It wasn't because she was so dark-skinned, but because her face, hidden under grime, was so eye-catching.

Fortunately, she used to be filthy; otherwise, she might not have survived to this day in a place like Linjia Village.

The next second, she winked at herself in the mirror, and large tears welled up instantly.

My goodness, her tearful face is so pitiful! Even she herself can't bear to see her face suffer.

She took out a brand-new bright red top from her spatial storage, paired with black trousers. These were her only two new clothes, which she had borrowed from Widow Liu.

After quickly changing into the clothes, she braided two pigtails in front of the mirror, letting them hang down her shoulders, making her face look small and delicate, giving her the perfect look of a spirited young woman.

Lin Yinyin happily went to check out.

But as soon as I got to the lobby, I saw two men standing in front of the counter checking out.

The two men stood up straight, clearly former soldiers.

Lin Yinyin wasn't in a hurry to leave, since there was still time.

However, the next moment, she felt a tightness at the back of her collar, and a pair of warm and strong hands grabbed her collar and lifted her up!
