Chapter 279 Little Tomorrow and Her Soldier Brother (3)
When Xu Youwei woke up, it was just past nine o'clock in the evening, and only four hours had passed since she fell asleep.
After all, I fell asleep while sitting, and my body became a little stiff after staying in the same position for four hours.
Xu Youwei moved her limbs and neck to relieve the stiffness, then picked up the kettle and drank a few sips of water.
But this is not the most important thing.
Because the problem she had to solve now was to fill her stomach, Xu Youwei took out the dry food she had prepared in advance and began to eat slowly.
She made these dry foods at home, and made them drier and harder so that they could be preserved longer.
Xu Youwei took several hard bites before she could bite off a little bit, and a crunching sound came from her mouth.
"Puchi!" A light laugh broke the silence in the car.
Xu Youwei looked up and saw a young man who was not very old looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Little girl, this cake of yours is hard to chew!" said the young man with a smile.
Xu Youwei pursed her lips and didn't answer, but she felt a little unhappy in her heart.
When a girl goes out, it is better to ignore strangers.
When the young man saw Xu Youwei ignoring him and wanted to continue saying something, he was pulled back by the people next to him.
The man said simply: "Shut up!"
The young man immediately shut his mouth and dared not say another word, as if he was very afraid of that man.
Then the man looked at Xu Youwei and said, "There is hot water at the back of the train. You can ask the attendant for a disposable bowl and soak the pancake until it is softened before eating."
"Thank you!" Xu Youwei nodded, then got up and went to the back of the car to get hot water, but she did not get the disposable bowl.
After all, it costs money.
For Xu Youwei, every penny saved is a penny earned, especially since she brought her own lunch box.
After everyone left their seats, Gu Lan, the young man just now, said to the person next to him: "Uncle, that girl looks so thrifty!"
Gu Yanxi, who was called uncle by Gu Lan, looked at his nephew and said, "Do you think everyone is the same as you?"
"What's wrong with me?" Gu Lan said unconvincedly, "I don't take a plane, I don't take a high-speed train, and I don't even buy a sleeper ticket. I bought a hard seat ticket for more than 30 hours. I'm not frugal enough!"
"Really?" Gu Yanxi was not impressed. "Didn't you buy this ticket because you lost the bet with the young master of the Li family?"
"That's true, but you don't have to be so dedicated, uncle." Gu Lan chuckled, "In fact, if you let me buy a sleeper ticket, no one will know, okay?"
At this time Xu Youwei just came back with a lunch box, but she carried it very carefully, fearing that the box would tip over and burn someone.
Xu Youwei paused for a moment when she heard the conversation between the two. It turned out that they were sitting in the hard seat because of a bet. They really have the mentality of a child.
She shook her head and sighed in her heart that she suffered because she had no money, and these two people were just here to experience life.
Just as I was about to return to my seat, the train suddenly entered a tunnel and the carriage suddenly became a little darker.
Due to the change in light, Xu Youwei didn't pay attention to her feet. She staggered and was about to fall when someone suddenly supported her and helped her to steady the lunch box to prevent the water from spilling out.
Xu Youwei looked up in surprise and saw a familiar face - it was the person who had just disciplined the young man.
There was a hint of concern and worry in his eyes, as if telling Xu Youwei not to be afraid.
Xu Youwei looked at him gratefully, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.
"Are you okay?" the man asked softly, his voice gentle and low.
Xu Youwei nodded and said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you... Thank you."
He smiled and shook his head, indicating that you're welcome.
Then, Gu Yanxi gently took the lunch box from Xu Youwei's hand and placed it on the table beside her, making sure that the water inside did not spill.
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise the water would have overflowed and it would have been a huge disaster." Gu Yanxi continued with a smile, with a rare hint of humor in his tone.
Xu Youwei couldn't help but laugh, and her liking for this stranger doubled.
She felt that this man was not only responsible, but also very considerate and caring.
The time in the tunnel was not long, only a few minutes passed.
This back and forth conversation shocked the usually talkative Gu Lan. How could he not know that his uncle still talked so much? He couldn't help but look at this little girl with a new respect.
"What's your name?" Gu Lan interrupted, "My name is Gu Lan, and this is my uncle Gu Yanxi. We are both going to the final stop, S City."
Xu Youwei didn't want to cause trouble, but when she thought about the other party who had just helped her, she thought that the other party should be a good person. When she was about to introduce herself, she heard Gu Yanxi say: "Young girls should be more vigilant when they are outside, and it is best not to tell strangers your name.
Especially young people like this who are slick but look decent, they are very much like the "white gang".
