Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Accompanied by the rhythmic sound of the train, Jiang Chun and Yu Bing, who had been sitting on the train for a long time, fell asleep. When Yu Bing woke up, it was already evening. Jiang Chun, who was sitting on the outside and leaning on her shoulder, hadn’t changed her posture from the time she fell asleep to the time she woke up. She only tilted her head and listened to the people in the neighboring seats tell stories with relish.
Yu Bing was moved when she saw this scene, so she massaged Jiang Chun’s stiff shoulders. Jiang Chun noticed and turned around. “Xiao Bing, you’re awake. You don’t have to massage me. I’ll just stand up and move around a little!”
“Just sit tight. I’ve enjoyed the afternoon nap. Now, it’s your turn to enjoy it.” Yu Bing smiled.
Jiang Chun smiled. “Alright, then just massage me for a few minutes. Massage is a tiring task.”
Yu Bing looked at the girl who was always smiling, and couldn’t help but think of Jiang Chun, who had always smiled and encouraged her no matter how difficult things were in her previous life. Therefore, when she returned there this time, she had to plan thoroughly before that time. She couldn’t let Jiang Chun be schemed against.
Jiang Chun looked at the person sitting next to her and licked her lips. She touched her stomach and turned to look at Yu Bing. “Bing, let’s eat now. To save food, we didn’t even eat lunch. I’m starving.”
Yu Bing was also hungry and nodded vigorously. The two of them took out food from the net under their seats.
Yu Bing took out a white steamed bun and two eggs, then handed an egg to Jiang Chun. As Jiang Chun took out her home-made pickled vegetables as she rejected Yu Bing, “Little Bing, I brought food. Keep it for yourself.”
Yu Bing shook her head helplessly and stuffed the egg into Jiang Chun’s hand. “Eat it. I brought more. Your pickled vegetables are delicious. I want to take a few more bites. Take it as me exchanging with you.”
Jiang Chun knew that Yu Bing was only finding an excuse to let her accept the egg. She lowered her head and looked at the egg in her hand. She thought to herself that she must help Yu Bing work more when she reached the countryside!
At this moment, the train stopped. The words “Linshui City” were written on the platform.
Yu Bing’s pupils dilated as she looked at the familiar figure on the platform. Then, she leaned against the car window and turned her body to face Jiang Chun while eating the last bite of dinner. She then pretended to listen to everyone’s conversation carefully. When the train started again, she silently straightened her body.
In her previous life, she had also sat by the car window. When Yu Yan passed by the car window and saw her, she took the initiative to talk to her. The two of them started to interact after that.
But now that she had ruined this opportunity, Yu Bing wanted to see if the Wheel of Destiny would change.
After the train traveled for a while, everyone found their seats and chatted with the people they sat with.
Just as Yu Bing thought that this person would disappear from her life, a tall woman with a round face and almond-shaped eyes appeared in front of her again.
Yu Yan was wearing a fashionable polyester plaid shirt, fitting green military pants, and a military kettle on her back. Her outfit was very chic in this era, and it made everyone’s eyes light up.
Then, she smiled and introduced herself generously. “Hello, everyone. My name is Yu Yan. You’re all going to the countryside, right? Can I sit here with you? A couple went to visit their relatives with a few children. I saw that it was inconvenient, so I took the initiative to find another seat.”
In this era, most people were simple-minded, passionate, and kind. Yu Yan’s actions indeed made these teenagers have a good impression of her. One by one, they hurriedly squeezed out seats for her. A man even took the initiative to take the bamboo rattan box containing the clothes and helped place it on the iron shelf above the seat.
Yu Bing sneered. She was certain that Yu Yan had always been prepared for her. The train had been driving for so long, so she must have passed by so many seats, but none of them were suitable for her, and their place, which was fully packed, was suitable for her.
“You look so familiar! What’s your name?”
Yu Bing looked up. Yu Yan was sitting at the outermost side of the row opposite Yu Bing and smiling at her.
“My name is Yu Bing. Perhaps it’s because of my average-looking face, but people often say that I look familiar to someone they know,” Yu Bing replied with a smile.
Yu Yan paused slightly. This answer was beyond her expectations and she didn’t know how to answer.
She looked at her third sister, who had an oval face and almond-shaped eyes like her, and suppressed the urge to lambaste her. After all, it wasn’t time yet. Country life was too boring. She had a third sister to pass the time with. She wanted the Yu family to know how outstanding she was! They had chosen the wrong daughter to give away.
At the same time, Yu Yan was very curious. Between the two of them, did one look more like their father and one look more like their mother?
Hence, she continued to smile and said, “You must be joking. I didn’t expect us to have the same surname. What a coincidence. I keep feeling that you seem familiar and I can’t help but want to get close to you.”
