Chapter 437: 437 Be good, obey!

Wan Manzhu saw that she stopped talking and snorted with laughter, "Keep making stuff up, just keep going."

"My uncle loves me the most; he would never say those things. You must be jealous that I have a good uncle."

Her uncle had adored her since she was a child, treating her even better than her cousin; he would never say such things.

Wan Manzhen must be trying to drive a wedge between her and her uncle, but she wasn’t about to fall for it.

Despicable!

Wan Manzhen was momentarily taken aback, then she laughed.

"Whatever you say," she replied.

If Wan Manzhu insisted on feigning sleep, what could she do?

Having said that, she turned and walked away.

If she hadn’t been worried about her mother being cornered again, she wouldn’t have come here, not even if it meant eating shit.

Wan Manzhu’s heart sank when she saw Wan Manzhen’s unapologetic demeanor.

Hurriedly, she ran after her.

"Wan Manzhen, you’re not actually telling the truth, are you?"

Her pale, sun-deprived face looked ghostly, her lips cracked, her appearance more disheveled than ever.

Wan Manzhen continued walking without stopping, without turning her head, her tone indifferent.

"Whether it’s true or not, don’t you have your own judgment? If you don’t believe it, go home and ask..."

At this point, she paused and chuckled, "Actually, you should have realized by now, right? Doesn’t the fact that your mother didn’t come to pick you up today tell you everything?"

If it weren’t for a serious incident, why wouldn’t the person who doted on her daughter come?

Wan Manzhu’s expression grew even uglier.

... She had indeed sensed it.

Seeing this, Wan Manzhen shook her head and continued on.

Having come here was enough to count as making an appearance.

Wan Manzhu was no child; she would leave the rest to her.

She... had fulfilled her moral obligations.

Wan Manzhu felt a chilling loneliness when she got out of prison and didn’t see anyone she was close to.

She blamed the heavens, her uncle’s family, and even more so the Ruan family...

She believed that it was the Ruan family who had a hand in her imprisonment, just because she pestered Gu Yingzhou.

Wan Manzhu bit the inside of her lip in anger, almost tasting blood.

Ruan family, I’ll remember this.

-

On the train.

Considering how exhausting the past few days of study and exchanges had been, they booked a few more sleeper tickets for the return trip.

The older folks and the ladies all got sleepers.

Jiu Wei and other robust young men sat in regular seats.

After getting acquainted with the people from the Technology Department, Qin Suqing was tactful enough not to cling to Lin Tang, allowing the young couple to stay together.

Under the teasing gazes of the others, Gu Yingzhou calmly headed to his sleeper, located beneath Lin Tang’s berths diagonally.

In the same compartment was Ai Gong, who had missed the first day of the exchange due to gastroenteritis.

The man was quite considerate; as soon as he climbed onto his bunk, he began to rest with his eyes closed, acting as if he were dead to the world, making not a sound.

Lin Tang was incredibly relaxed; after washing up in the bathroom, she sat on the edge of Gu Yingzhou’s bed.

Gu Yingzhou was leaning against his pillows, his gaze softening when he saw her return.

Picking up his water flask from the small table beside him, he handed it over, "Have some water."

Having already kissed, Lin Tang took it without affectation and drank.

The man’s ears warmed slightly at the sight of the girl’s rosy lips touching the mouth of the flask, and his throat inexplicably dry.

Realizing his attention had drifted, Gu Yingzhou inwardly cursed himself as a beast, and distractedly picked up a book to force his thoughts back in line.

Lin Tang, oblivious, finished drinking and set the water flask back down.

She pulled out the Award Certificate issued by the Sea City Public Security Bureau and showed it to him.

"Take a look at this."

Gu Yingzhou took it and after a glance, his face showed admiration. He complimented her seriously, "Not bad."

Lin Tang loved hearing praise, and his words made her feel extremely comfortable.

Thinking about her family’s reaction, she smiled with her eyes crescent-shaped.

"...I miss home," she suddenly said.

Busy all the time in Sea City, she only had time to think of home at night. Now that she was at leisure, she realized just how much she missed it.

She wondered how her parents were doing, and whether Goudan and the others had grown taller?

Gu Yingzhou had originally thought that she would start missing home as soon as she left. He didn’t expect that the young girl would hold out until now before pouting.

The man couldn’t help but laugh as he spoke to comfort her, "Hang in there, we’ll be there in just a few days."

Lin Tang was just speaking her mind and wasn’t so sentimental that she needed consoling. However, hearing Gu Yingzhou’s gentle tone made her heart happy.

With a light response, she looked up at the other people in the carriage.

When she arrived, the carriage was buzzing with noise, not quieting down until the latter half of the night.

Now, in the broad daylight, aside from the occasional sounds, only the ’clunking’ of the train remained.

She wondered if everyone else was bored?

Seeing that Lin Tang’s gaze had lost focus and she was clearly daydreaming, Gu Yingzhou said amusedly, "Would you like to read a book?"

Lin Tang came back to her senses and shook her head, "No, thanks."

She didn’t get carsick just by sitting, but reading would make her queasy.

Having said that, she couldn’t help but yawn.

Gu Yingzhou said with a resigned smile, "Tired? Why don’t you go up and take a nap?"

Lin Tang shook her head again.

The inside of the train was stifling.

Especially during the day with the sun outside, even the wind was hot.

Even with miraculous cooling patches, lying against the mattress still left one covered in sweat.

Sticky and uncomfortable, she decided it was best to avoid sleeping for now.

Gu Yingzhou could easily see the emotions buried in the young girl’s eyes, and he gave an indulgent smile.

Making room, he patted his own bunk.

"If you won’t sleep, just lie down for a bit."

As he spoke, he casually uttered three words: "Be good, obey."

His voice, low and tender, was irresistible.

Lin Tang’s face reddened, but gracefully gave him face and lay down as suggested.

She thought to herself, indeed, lying down was much more comfortable.

Better to sit than to stand, better to lie down than to sit—this saying had no fault at all!

Suddenly, Gu Yingzhou stood up and said, "You lie down for a bit; I’ll be right back."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he got up and left.

Soon, he returned, holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand.

Lin Tang was surprised, "Where did you get that fan from?"

"Jiu Wei bought it."

As Gu Yingzhou replied, he sat by the bed, waving the fan to cool her off.

"Close your eyes and rest for a while, I’ll read my book," he said.

Then, perhaps concerned that Lin Tang would feel uncomfortable, he picked up the book he had been reading earlier and started reading again.

Lin Tang fixed her gaze on Gu Yingzhou for a while, a sweet smile curling at the corners of her mouth as she began to close her eyes to rest.

With the steady operation of a human fan, her heart settled down too.

Gu Yingzhou tirelessly moved his arm without showing any signs of fatigue.

Soon, he could hear the young girl’s even and slightly deep breathing, clearly indicating she... had fallen asleep.

The man silently laughed and shook his head, the movement of the fan continuing unabated.

When Qin Suqing came looking for Lin Tang with an apple, she choked at the silent display of affection before her eyes.

It was as if she had seen something extraordinary; she instinctively covered her eyes, yet curiously parted her fingers enough to leave a sizable gap.

Oh my, how embarrassing!

In fact, in her line of sight, she could only see Gu Yingzhou’s side profile and the bulge on the bed, with no extra view to speak of.

But that didn’t stop Qin Suqing’s imagination from running wild.

Just picture the Factory Director’s and Tangtang’s two beautiful faces together, more exciting than any youth romance movie.

Gu Yingzhou quickly noticed and turned his head to look.

Seeing a familiar face, he nodded slightly in acknowledgement.
