Chapter 328: Chapter 328: My Wife is Afraid of Heights Chapter 328: Chapter 328: My Wife is Afraid of Heights “Then I’ll accept it.”
Zhao Tianlei and Second Brother Yun also urged.
“We’ll be leaving first.”
No matter how reluctant they were, they still watched as they left.
Second Brother Yun even saw them to the compartnt of the sleeper car before he descended.
“Second Brother, see you next ti.”
“Uncle, bye…..”
“Bye…..”
The train rumbled away, and Second Brother Yun watched it start moving, unsure when they would et again.
This ti, Yun Xiaoxiao had purchased three berths, two lower bunks and one middle bunk.
Last ti he had his wife sleep on the upper bunk, he was worried the entire ti.
All three of them, mother and sons, had lower bunks, and he had a middle bunk.
“Xiaoxiao, aren’t you going to sleep for a bit?”
Even though Xiaoxiao was sowhat disdainful of the berth, she had to endure it for the several days they would be on the train.
“I can’t sleep. Soone should be coming soon.”
For now, it was just their family in this small compartnt.
“Then I’ll go get so hot water.”
“Alright.”
The two youngsters gave Xiaoxiao a book, telling her to read and pass the ti.
As it was about to get dark, soone else ca to their compartnt—a young girl and an old lady with a child.
Suddenly, of the six bunks available, only one remained.
The old lady also wanted to exchange for a lower bunk but seeing the opposing party was a female comrade with two children, accompanied by a tall man next to her, she hesitated.
She was elderly and had a child with her.
“Could we possibly exchange for your lower bunk?”
Before Yun Xiaoxiao could reply, Zhao Tianlei refused, “No, my wife is afraid of heights.”
She wasn’t afraid of heights, right?
And plus, they should respect the elderly and care for the young.
“Auntie, if you really need a lower bunk, you can try to exchange tickets with soone else, paying the difference,” Xiaoxiao suggested reluctantly, not wanting to climb up but knowing that soone might be willing to make the switch for that small price difference.
“As a female comrade, if you won’t exchange, then don’t,” retorted the old lady, disgruntled that Xiaoxiao wasn’t showing respect to the elderly by offering her seat.
This expression made Xiaoxiao a bit angry as well.
Am I supposed to cater to you, yet you fault for not offering my seat?
Then why didn’t you buy a lower bunk in the first place?
The prices for the three berths are all different.
“Don’t bother with her,” Zhao Tianlei said. He had seen plenty of people take advantage of old age outside; why should they?
A lower bunk costs ten yuan more than a middle bunk. We have no prior relationship; why should I exchange this more expensive lower bunk with you?
Are you also my relative, or even my parents?
Why should I?
Ignoring the matter, Xiaoxiao didn’t pay attention, while Tianlei went to buy three boxed als.
The brothers shared one of the als; Xiaoxiao ate a small portion, and the rest went to Tianlei.
Seeing them eat stirred the old lady to buy a boxed al as her grandson started to fuss.’
“Comrade, are you all one family, all of you good-looking?” asked the young female comrade who had entered their cramped compartnt with the old lady. It was still light outside, and the grandmother and child had left.
“Don’t we look alike?”
The young comrade nodded, “No, you look about my age. Oh, I’m eighteen this year, a recent graduate, going to Capital City to attend university.”
The sa age?
The female supporting character would be around twenty-five years old.
“We’re also going to Capital City University.”
They were also going to university?
“Sister, which school will you be attending? I got into Capital City University. My parents wanted to accompany , but sothing ca up at ho the day before we were to leave, so I had to go alone.”
She hadn’t told them.
Before leaving, her parents had reminded her again and again.
