After getting the ticket, Xu Guoping finally caught the train.
Needless to say, it was hard work along the way. Fortunately, his body was strong. When he reached Shangzhi, although he was covered in wind and frost, he still looked very energetic.
Next comes the real test.
Although this train stop is also called Shangzhi, it is still two to three hundred kilometers away from the real Shangzhi city.
After getting off the train, Xu Guoping first got on a shabby minibus, and then after the minibus reached the end, he squeezed into the bus again.
After getting off the bus, there were still several kilometers away from the next long-distance bus station. He could only bite the bullet and get on a private bus. After struggling all the way, he finally got on the bus before departure. Train to Syracuse.
Wu Xia continued to chat with Ding Wenmin and other passengers in the car. She didn't know that Xu Guoping was getting closer and closer to her.
At night, Wu Xia looked at the carriage full of people and thought worriedly: What should I do when I sleep? After sitting for a whole day now, her calves were a little swollen. If she stayed up for another night, she didn't know how swollen her legs would be when she woke up the next morning.
When the train stopped again, Ding Wenmin said, "I'll go to the front and ask the conductor."
Wu Xia knew that he was going to ask about the sleeper, so he stood up and said, "Okay, I'll buy dinner."
This time the train stopped longer than last time, a full 15 minutes, so the passengers on the train came to the platform to buy food.
Wu Xia followed the flow of people and walked out of the carriage. The weather became colder as she walked towards Xuecheng. As soon as she came out of the carriage door, the wind blew violently, making her shiver from the cold.
Wu Xia's hands were folded together to maintain body temperature, and she jogged to the stall selling things.
It was now time for dinner, and the items sold at the stalls were much richer than at noon. Wu Xia squeezed into a fragrant stall and bought a roast chicken. Then she quickly ran to another stall and bought I had a few pancakes baked at home.
Other stalls also sold other snacks, but Wu Xia didn't have a watch and didn't know the time. She was afraid that it would be too late to go back, so she calculated that these things were enough for her and Ding Wenmin, and ran back to the car.
Because most of the passengers had not returned to the car, the carriage was not that crowded at this time. Wu Xia put the food on the small table in front of the seat, then put his legs on the seat opposite and started to rest. .
When people got on the bus one after another, she hammered her legs that had not yet recovered, then sat aside and waited for Ding Wenmin to return.
"Wu Xia, come here quickly." Wu Xia saw Ding Wenmin standing at the other end of the carriage waving to him.
She asked the people sitting next to her to help her look at things, and then walked towards Ding Wenmin.
"Editor Ding, is there any good news?" Wu Xia was wondering if the place to sleep at night was found.
Ding Wenmin nodded and said to her: "I paid for a sleeper ticket. You can sleep from ten o'clock in the evening to three o'clock in the morning."
He smiled and said to Wu Xia: "Although the time is not long, it is still more comfortable than sitting on the seat."
Wu Xia said happily: "This is really great. When can we go there?"
Ding Wenmin said: "Now I can help you take your luggage over there. The people over there haven't gotten off the car yet. Let's sit here for an hour or two, and then I will take you to the sleeper car."
"Send it to me? Editor Ding, what should you do?" Seeing that Ding Wenmin didn't mention himself, Wu Xia asked quickly.
"I am a man and don't need to be a sleeper." Ding Wenmin said.
When he said this, Wu Xia understood that there must be only one sleeper ticket, and Ding Wenmin gave this ticket to himself.
"No, this ticket is yours. I can't ask for anything. Although you are a man, no one can stand sitting for such a long time."
When Wu Xia heard that Ding Wenmin didn't have a berth, he refused to agree to anything.
Ding Wenmin tried to persuade Wu Xia several times but refused to let go. He had to say: "That's good. Anyway, it's still some time until night. Let's go back to our seats and send things to the berth, and then come back and eat dinner." Go back to the conductor and see, maybe you can get another ticket."
Wu Xia nodded. After the two put their luggage away, they returned to their seats. Wu Xia said to Ding Wenmin: "Editor Ding, I bought pancakes and roasted chicken. Let's just deal with it tonight."
Roast chicken is a good thing. Ding Wenmin gave Wu Xia a thumbs up when he saw it.
Wu Xia tore the roasted chicken into pieces and divided half of the chicken into pieces. The two of them ate the roasted chicken with fried pancakes.
After finishing eating, Wu Xia urged Ding Wenmin to go back to the conductor and ask.
But this time the two of them were not so lucky. It was very late and they had not yet received a sleeper ticket.
"Editor Ding, I'll take you to the sleeper berth." Wu Xia was not ready to let him wait with her any longer.
When the two came to the door leading to the sleeper car, Ding Wenmin once again pushed Wu Xia to give in, but Wu Xia firmly refused.
Just when Ding Wenmin was in a dilemma, a man walked out of the sleeper car. He looked at the two of them and said to Ding Wenmin: "Young man, if you want to sit in the sleeper car, I can change it with you, if you are willing to pay a high price." No?"
After hearing this, Wu Xia quickly said: "I do!"
After the man quoted a price, Wu Xia was about to pay, but Ding Wenmin paid the money directly.
Wu Xia wanted to give him the money, but Ding Wenmin said unhappily: "After all, you are also my author. If you keep pushing back on me like this, I will be angry."
Seeing him displaying the majesty of an editor, Wu Xia smiled helplessly: "Obviously I bought the ticket, why can't I let you take the money?"
"I have a business trip allowance, so you will accompany me on this business trip." Ding Wenmin said.
Wu Xia looked at Ding Wenmin, so moved that he didn't know what to say.
She really doesn't have that much money on her now. If she is asked to pay a high price, then she will have very little money left, and she will probably starve before Fen He can wait.
So after hesitating for a while, Wu Xia accepted Ding Wenmin's kindness. She said to Ding Wenmin: "Editor Ding, thank you for buying the ticket for me. When I get back, I will definitely repay you when I make a lot of money."
Ding Wenmin looked at Wu Xia without saying anything. Ever since he heard that Wu Xia was getting a divorce, his heart was filled with ripples.
He didn't know at what moment he fell in love with Wu Xia. He looked civilized on the outside, but he was very hot inside.
When he realized what he was thinking, he couldn't wait to tell Wu Xia his thoughts immediately.
But Ding Wenmin knew that he couldn't do it yet. After all, Wu Xia had not officially divorced Xu Guoping. He could not destroy Wu Xia's family, but he was willing to wait and take care of Wu Xia in his own way.
