441: Chapter 440: Did You Miss ?
Lin Xia and Lu Zheng both shared their thoughts on the matter, and then they began to exchange sweet nothings.
Lu Zheng asked, “Did you miss ?”
Lin Xia readily admitted, “Yes!”
How could she not?
Especially now that there were no obstacles between them, and Lu Zheng’s parents had also beco much closer to her, so in the quiet of the night, she missed him even more.
Lu Zheng asked with a satisfied smile, “Where did you miss ?”
“My heart, of course!” Lin Xia imdiately asked, “Did you miss ?”
Lu Zheng’s deep, pleasant voice ca through the handset, “Very, very, very much!
I wish I could hug you right now…
kiss you…”
Lin Xia bit her lip shyly, “What are you saying?
Talk about sothing serious!”
Lu Zheng chuckled, “Isn’t this serious?
Then let say sothing not-so-serious!”
Lin Xia scolded with a laugh, “Stop it!”
After ending the call with a sweet feeling, Lin Xia still thought about it.
She felt like she and Lu Zheng were becoming more and more childlike.
How childish!
But the blushing and racing heartbeat, she really liked it!
Alas, when could she see him again for a passionate embrace…
They had not kissed last ti because of those issues, and Lin Xia felt quite regretful.
A few days later, Lin Xia closed up the shop and learned from Ding Ling and the others that the shop diagonally opposite had been closed all day and didn’t know what had happened.
Lin Xia didn’t pay too much attention, thinking perhaps sothing happened to the Chen Family.
Qian Chunli’s household registration had been moved, so there was no relation between them now.
Later the next day, they learned from others that Lin Yu went into early labor and gave birth to a frail boy; the Chen Family was in chaos, too busy to attend to the shop.
Lin Xia thought maybe sothing had happened, how else could there be a premature birth?
Soon, she heard the approximate details of what occurred.
It was said that Lin Yu, heavily pregnant, caught Chen Gang cheating with another woman.
In her agitation, she had a physical altercation with that woman, and during the chaos, Chen Gang accidentally pushed her, leading to early labor.
The credibility of this gossip was quite high, and Lin Xia didn’t know how to comnt on Lin Yu’s situation, saying only that the child was the most innocent!
Not long after, Lin Dong went on sumr vacation.
Though he would only have two weeks off before returning to school to prepare for his senior year, Lin Dong was over the moon.
Lin Xia was equally happy; she had been thinking about going down south to see and explore.
But letting Lin Qiu stay ho alone was sothing she truly worried about.
It wasn’t right to always ask Wu Zhenghong to keep her company if she was gone for many days.
What worried her more was that in her absence, Lin Qiu and Wu Zhengyang might not be able to restrain themselves from doing sothing indescribable.
Now that Lin Dong was ho, she could finally travel farther away with peace of mind, turning around to restock her wares.
After arranging everything at ho, Lin Xia also asked Jiang Mingyuan for help with collecting money, then she embarked on her trip to the provincial city.
Plane tickets weren’t easy to co by at that ti, so Lin Xia had no choice but to take a sleeper train heading south.
She had the key to Jade’s room, and with just a small backpack, she was traveling light and carefree, as if she were on vacation.
At this ti, the train windows were open, and though the train moved slowly, the cool breeze managed to dispel the heat of the sumr when it was moving.
But every ti the train stopped, that was the most painful mont.
The oppressive heat instantly enveloped the entire carriage, making one feel as though they were suffocating, surrounded by the sweltering air.
The journey was tedious, yet it also possessed its small pleasures.
At this ti, people were still simple and sincere, not so guarded.
Lin Xia managed to get a middle bunk, while the lower bunk was occupied by a young girl, around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with neatly cut ear-length hair, showing the delicate charm of a “small family jade.”
After a few words, the two beca acquainted, both being young, eting by chance on a journey is destiny, and they could find topics to chat about happily without even knowing each other’s nas.
Across from them, the only occupied bunk was a lower one with a middle-aged woman lying on it, who was very distant and cold.
Later, when the woman got off, Lin Xia and the girl quietly expressed their relief, feeling the air beco much fresher.
As the train moved further south, the temperature rose, and Lin Xia felt increasingly uncomfortable.
As a genuine northerner, whether in her past life or this one, this was her first ti traveling so far.
Watching the scenery whizzing by outside the window, Lin Xia couldn’t help but smile, she had already left the bounds of the black earth.
The upper bunk that was boarded midway through the journey was taken by a middle-aged man of average build, dressed like soone on a business trip for a company.
He was a very talkative person, and in no ti, he was chatting animatedly with Lin Xia and the girl.
When they weren’t sleeping, the three of them played cards and talked, making ti fly by quite quickly.
When the train reached a major station and stopped for a longer ti, Lin Xia got off to stretch her legs and get so fresh air.
A lot of other passengers ca down as well, so stretching their arms and legs, others looking around the station environnt, and so smoking and chatting.
Looking at this unfamiliar place, Lin Xia walked a few steps away and stamped her feet hard, feeling quite emotional.
It was still a day and a night before she would reach her destination.
Taking a train was really agonizing, especially the old green trains that hadn’t been sped up; it was sheer torture.
If only she could take a plane next ti she went out, she had never been on one before!
When Lin Xia returned to the carriage, she discovered that a new passenger had boarded and was sitting on the lower bunk.
He was a handso young man, his gaze lowered as he read a newspaper in his hands.
He was tall and well-proportioned, and though simply dressed in jeans and a white T-shirt, he exuded an effortlessly suave charm.
The girl on the lower bunk had a slight blush on her cheeks as she sat on her bunk, casting occasional glances at him, but too shy to initiate a conversation.
Lin Xia cast a casual glance at him before sitting down on the lower bunk, and at that mont, the man suddenly looked up at her.
His eyes flashed with surprise and amazent when he saw Lin Xia, then he folded the newspaper he was browsing and smiled amiably at her, “Hello!”
His voice was pleasant and magnetic, but it was obvious that he was speaking Mandarin with a southern accent.
As he spoke, his eyes fixed on Lin Xia as if he was studying sothing, but there was no malice in his gaze.
Lin Xia felt there was sothing odd about this man, and out of politeness, she greeted him back, but inside she beca more cautious.
She had been on edge since leaving ho alone due to a psychological shadow, and now the appearance of this man made her even more wary; who knew if he was a seemingly respectable scoundrel?
She quietly touched the sharp little knife in her pocket, feeling sowhat reassured.
The girl on the lower bunk glanced at Lin Xia and then looked away, quietly observing the man.
At that mont, the middle-aged man from the upper bunk ca back from another car, and the four of them started chatting casually, but the man who had boarded later seed particularly interested in Lin Xia.
“Listening to your accent, you’re from the north?”
