"Okay." Wu Xia replied with a grin. Now her numbness had returned a little, and she felt an indescribable discomfort in her numbness.
Editor Ding laughed: "Do you want me to help you walk?"
Wu Xia shook her head and was about to say that she was fine, when Ding Wenmin picked up the big bag she had placed on the ground with one hand and put it on his shoulder.
"Okay, then I won't interfere with you. You walk slowly and I will hold your bag for you."
Ding Wenmin deliberately slowed down his pace and was only one step away from Wu Xia.
Soon the two people came to the breakfast stall not far from the train station. Although it was still early, the owner of the breakfast stall had already begun to be busy there.
"Do you have anything to eat here?" Ding Wenmin walked over and asked.
The stall owner was also used to people catching the train coming to eat early. When he saw Ding Wenmin and Wu Xia coming over, he said to them: "Don't be anxious, I will bake the cakes here for a while. Do you want to drink two bowls of soy milk first?"
"Okay, give each of us two cakes and two bowls of soy milk." Ding Wenmin said and took out the money from his pocket. Wu Xia quickly said: "Editor, I'd better take the money."
Ding Wenmin smiled and said: "How can I ask you to pay for it in Pingcheng?"
The two of them sat down on the stools of the breakfast stall and waited for the stall owner to bake pancakes. The stall owner first brought them soy milk.
Wu Xia didn't say much as she was thinking about something on her mind. Ding Wenmin stayed by her side silently and didn't bother her.
She asked Ding Wenmin: "Editor Ding, what are you going to do in Xuecheng?"
"I'm going there on a business trip, and I'll talk to the publishing house over there about novel publishing. What about you, what are you doing over there traveling so far away, visiting relatives? Is anyone going with you? Alone It's very inconvenient to go out so far away." Ding Wenmin looked at Wu Xia worriedly and asked.
Wu Xia opened his pocket, took out a lipstick from it, and said to Ding Wenming: "I made this, and I'm going to take it to the Fenhe River. I heard that this thing sells well there, so this is my gift." For my sister-in-law."
Ding Wenmin quickly refused: "Just keep it for yourself, I don't have a partner yet."
This was the first time the two of them talked about personal issues, and Ding Wenmin also casually asked Wu Xia.
Wu Xia sniffed and said, "I am married, but I will be divorced soon."
When she thought of Xu Guoping's determination to leave, her heart began to feel sore again.
Ding Wenmin was a little surprised. He remembered that he had met Xu Guoping before. Xu Guoping seemed nice and took good care of Wu Xia. How could he just get divorced?
When thinking about this, Ding Wenmin actually felt a sense of joy, but the emotion came so quickly that he didn't catch it himself, and the feeling of joy turned into worry about Wu Xia. Originally, he wanted to ask again, but Wu Xia waved his hand and said to him: "I finally came out. I don't want to mention this person again. Let's talk about something else?"
Just at this time, the stall owner also spread out the pancakes. He held the hot pancakes and said to the two of them: "Try it quickly. This is a freshly baked scallion pancake."
Ding Wenmin invited Wu Xia to eat cakes, and by the way changed the topic to the business trip. He heard that Wu Xia bought a ticket, and said to Wu Xia: "I happened to not buy a sleeper berth. When we get on the train, let's see Let’s see if there is a chance to make up for the vote.”
"Can I still make up for the ticket?" Wu Xia had never traveled far in his previous life, let alone worked as a sleeper. Hearing Ding Wenmin say this, he looked surprised.
Ding Wenmin guessed that Wu Xia probably rarely went out, so he nodded and smiled at her: "I'll help you take a look when the time comes."
By the time the two of them had finished eating, it was almost 4:00, and many people who had caught the morning train came to the breakfast stall one after another.
Ding Wenmin picked up his bag again and said to Wu Xia: "It's time to check in soon. Let's go over and line up?"
After eating a full meal, the numbness in her legs had subsided. Wu Xia had the nerve to ask Editor Ding to help her carry the bag. She said, "Editor Ding, I'll do it!"
Ding Wenmin laughed: "We comrades are so strong that helping you with small things is nothing. If you want to repay me, I think you might as well write a few more articles for me, haha!"
At this point, he laughed: "Do you know that I showed your manuscript to the editor-in-chief. The editor-in-chief was very satisfied and praised me several times."
"Really?"
Wu Xia didn't expect that she would be frustrated in love, but her career would be so smooth. She happily asked: "Can I open my own column this time?"
Ding Wenmin replied: "Are you going to write a long article for this article? I'm applying to the editor-in-chief. I guess they will come up with the results when I get back from this business trip. Please wait a little longer."
While talking, the two people returned to the ticket gate again, and there was already a long queue at the ticket gate.
Ding Wenmin and Wu Xia also hurried over to queue. When queuing, people were very close to each other, and everyone slowly squeezed towards the ticket inspector.
At this moment, Wu Xia suddenly felt someone touching his butt.
"who is it!"
Wu Xia turned his head angrily and saw a short man with a wretched face standing behind him, his crotch still raised high.
The dwarf was used to doing this kind of thing. He was not afraid when he saw Wu Xia's angry face. He smiled obscenely and made a grabbing gesture with his other hand. This made Wu Xia very angry.
"What did you do to me just now? Let's go to the Public Security Bureau now!"
The dwarf sneered: "You have no evidence. The police won't care about such trivial matters."
Wu Xia was so angry that she stomped the short boy hard. The short boy didn't expect that Wu Xia had such a strong temper and dared to step on him.
"Smelly bitch!"
He cursed and grabbed Wu Xia's chest with his hands. Wu Xia didn't expect that someone would be so shameless. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. She couldn't hide from such a close distance. Wu Xia quickly put her hands on her chest to protect her. .
But the thought that the man's hand might catch her own made her feel very sick.
But before anyone could touch him, Ding Wenmin punched him and knocked him to the ground.
Chaozi didn't expect Wu Xia to have helpers. His expression suddenly changed: "If you dare to hit me, I will go to the Public Security Bureau to sue you now."
Ding Wenmin sneered: "You have no evidence, the Public Security Bureau will not care about such a trivial matter."
He returned what the dwarf had just said, which made the dwarf very angry, but no one in the queue around him spoke for her. He also knew that he was in the wrong, so he had no choice but to retreat to the back of the line with a slumped head.
"Editor Ding, the skin on your hand is broken." Wu Xia felt a little distressed when she saw Editor Ding's hand was scratched by something unknown.
She took out her handkerchief to bandage Ding Wenmin, and said apologetically: "It's all me who has caused you trouble."
Ding Wenmin shook his head: "It's okay. It's not convenient for you to go out alone. Let me take a look and find someone to change seats later. I'll accompany you all the way."
Now, Wu Xia feels more and more that it is really not easy for a woman to travel alone. She did not refuse Editor Ding's kindness.
"Okay, then let's get some company together."
