Xu Wantang was startled by the sound of the box door closing, and subconsciously followed the sound.
Lu Yunzheng was seen standing at the door of the box like a wooden stake, holding Zhao Youyou who had been coaxed to sleep in his arms.
His pair of red and phoenix eyes that were almost ruthless in the past actually looked a little flustered at this moment.
Xu Wantang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
Lu Yunzheng has always had a poker face. Whether it was the previous life or this life, she could rarely see emotions other than indifference and impatience on his frosty face.
Got hit by something evil?
Or was he chased away by a dog?
The moment the two people's eyes met in mid-air, Xu Wantang saw Lu Yunzheng move his eyes away at an extremely fast speed.
"whispering sound."
Xu Wantang snorted slightly, and rolled his eyes in Lu Yunzheng's direction while he was looking elsewhere.
He doesn't want to see her, does she?
She knew that Lu Yunzheng didn't want to see her, and she didn't want to see Lu Yunzheng much now.
If Lu Yunzheng hadn't bought a ticket for a box, she wouldn't have bothered to look at him.
Xu Wantang found a bag of tea and a large tea jar from the bag under the bed.
This tea was specially given to her by Wang Tong, knowing that she would take a long-distance train, so that she could brew it and drink it on the way.
Originally, he brought her three bags, but Xu Wantang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he returned two more bags to her.
The big tea vat was bought at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday when I came back from Wang Tong's house.
At that time, the plastic bottles of mineral water that were popular in later generations were not popular on the trains. People always brought their own cups when traveling. There was a thermos in a fixed position in the carriage, which was filled with hot water. People went to the thermos when they needed it. Fetch water.
Xu Wantang tore open a small corner of the tea bag, poured some tea leaves into the tea vat, folded the tea bag again, took out a black clip from the head and pinned it to the opening of the bag, and put it back into the bag.
I took out the slippers I bought earlier from another bag, threw them on the ground, and stepped on them without even looking at them.
Wearing other shoes without socks is uncomfortable and relatively laborious, so slippers are the most convenient.
After doing all this, Xu Wantang stood up and planned to find a hot pot outside the box and make some tea.
But before she walked out of the door, she heard Lu Yunzheng's somewhat cold voice in the box, "You still have to pay attention to the impact in public places."
Xu Wantang paused in opening the door, then turned around and looked at Lu Yunzheng inexplicably, "Why is it bad if I make tea?"
Xu Wantang felt that he was deliberately trying to find trouble with her, or that there was something wrong with Lu Yunzheng's brain!
Lu Yunzheng said nothing, his gaze inexplicably stopped on her lower body for a moment, and then moved away again.
Xu Wantang looked inexplicably. Looking along his line of sight, she saw that the trousers leg of her left leg had reached her knee at some point. She bent down and pulled out the trousers leg that was nestled in, and then the trousers hung down naturally, covering the cover. Live that section of snow-white.
It was summer now, and the weather was a bit sultry. Xu Wantang stayed in bed for a long time and didn't notice it for a while.
She rolled her eyes at Lu Yunzheng, confirming the fact that there was something wrong with his brain.
It’s not like we’re in a feudal society now. What’s wrong with showing your lower legs?
Nowadays, there are definitely not a few fashionable girls in the 1980s who wore cut-off sleeves and exposed calves. If she accidentally exposed her legs, it would be offensive and have a bad impact?
"I'm sick." Xu Wantang was not used to Lu Yunzheng at all. He said whatever he thought in his heart.
Scolding him wasn't enough, so she gave him another stern look before giving up.
With a "pop" sound, the box door was closed.
Lu Yunzheng breathed a sigh of relief and scratched his hair twice irritably.
He realized that when he spoke to Xu Wantang, he always failed to express his meaning and did not mean what he said.
Just now he saw Xu Wantang with her legs exposed and was about to leave the box. His original intention was to roll up her pants and to make her pay attention to her safety. There are all kinds of people on the train. If you are too eye-catching, unpredictable things may happen. .
But the words of concern could not be uttered no matter what. The moment the words came out, they changed their tone and became an accusation against Xu Wantang.
Chasing the reason, maybe it was because of the irregular heartbeat.
He did not think that he was attracted to Xu Wantang, but attributed the recent phenomenon to a simple, primitive, and disgusting impulse.
He didn't want to give in to this impulse, let alone follow the same path as his parents.
I heard from the people in the village that his mother was very beautiful when she was young, and his father was also a famous handsome boy from all over the country. The two were engaged in firewood, and they had him before they got married.
But that kind of impulse comes and goes quickly, love turns into boredom, and lovers turn into enemies.
My parents had a small quarrel every two days and a big quarrel every three days. The topic of the quarrel was always the night before the wedding. The two of them rushed to talk about how much they regretted it.
Zhang Xiuju did not forget to pinch his ears and pull him out of the corner when the quarrel was the most anxious, and yelled at him, saying that he would definitely have the same virtue when he grew up.
He grew up in a tense environment, so he naturally understands how difficult such a life is.
Before he understood what liking meant, he decided not to follow the old path of his parents.
He maintained well until the day of his first blind date, when he was set up by Xu Wantang. With disgust for his own impulses and Xu Wantang's scheming and methods, he agreed to the Xu family's forced marriage.
Before receiving the certificate, at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he told Xu Wantang that he didn't love her, not now or in the future. He didn't want to delay her and let her think about it before making a decision.
Xu Wantang still received the certificate from him with a shy look.
He always felt that a relationship must be based on emotion, so after marriage, he seemed to be taking revenge on Xu Wantang, and also seemed to be escaping his occasional impulse towards Xu Wantang, and became indifferent to Xu Wantang.
Lu Yunzheng breathed a long sigh of relief, wanting to vent the depression in his heart.
He lowered his head and looked at his clothes and pants that were stained with oil stains and rice grains by Zhao Youyou, and bent down to pick up his clothes.
When he was carrying Zhao Youyou out just now, he saw that there was no hot water bottle in their compartment, and Xu Wantang wouldn't be back for a while. Lu Yunzheng thought that he would be able to change it before Xu Wantang came back because he moved very quickly.
The space in the bathroom on the train was too small and he couldn't stretch his legs at all. He felt it was inconvenient when Xu Wantang and Zhao Youyou were in the compartment. Now was the best opportunity.

Xu Wantang walked out of the compartment door, but did not find the kettle in their carriage. After asking the conductor, he found out that the kettle in their carriage had been broken a few days ago and had not had time to replace it.
The conductor pointed the direction for her and asked her to go to another carriage to pour hot water.
Xu Wantang walked for a while and made a vat of hot tea.
The fragrance of jasmine tea spreads, and the smell makes Xu Wantang feel comfortable.
On the way back, Xu Wantang's beautiful face smiled slightly because of the pot of jasmine tea.
It wasn't until she opened the box door that her smile suddenly froze on her face.
