Chapter 692: Chapter 692 This Disease Can Skip a Generation

After lunch, Luo Qiao went upstairs to grab her backpack before bidding farewell to her family and leaving with Lu Yichen.

Once on the train, they found their seats and sat down. But shortly after they did, a girl sitting opposite them kept glancing their way, specifically at Lu Yichen.

Initially, Luo Qiao wanted to ignore it, but the girl’s staring became more and more blatant. Noticing Luo Qiao’s displeasure, Lu Yichen turned to the girl and asked, "Do you know me?"

The girl hurriedly shook her head, "No, I don’t."

"Then what’s the meaning of staring at me all the time?"

"Oh, I just thought you were really handsome. It doesn’t mean anything."

"Is that how your parents taught you to behave?"

"What?"

A middle-aged woman sitting next to the girl pulled her back, "Little sister, shut up."

"I’m sorry, my sister has been spoiled at home. She’s a bit blunt when she speaks."

Lu Yichen didn’t bother with the people sitting across anymore. He softly said to Luo Qiao, "Lean on me and rest for a bit. You got up too early this morning."

Luo Qiao wasn’t one to stand on ceremony, so she leaned on Lu Yichen’s shoulder, ready to rest some more.

The girl across muttered under her breath, "This is really disgraceful, being all lovey-dovey in broad daylight on the train."

Upon hearing these words, Luo Qiao felt her anger rise. Had this girl lost her mind? Had Luo Qiao provoked her or offended her in any way? Maybe she was just insane.

Luo Qiao, with her eyes open, said, "Did your ancestors suffer from mental illness?"

The girl raised her voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Luo Qiao glanced at her and continued, "These kinds of illnesses tend to skip a generation," then closed her eyes again to rest.

Lu Yichen, watching Luo Qiao with an affectionate curve on his lips, saw the girl across trying to say something else, but he said coldly, "Shut up. We’re not your family, and we have no obligation to put up with your rudeness."

The middle-aged woman quickly interjected, "Little sister, do you want some melon? I washed it at home."

The woman had good intentions, trying to smooth things over and save her sister-in-law from embarrassment, but the girl retorted, "Don’t play the good person here. It’s not your place to meddle in my affairs. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re really thinking!"

The middle-aged woman’s face soured immediately.

She whispered, "Little sister, I’m just concerned about you, why do you have to speak to me so rudely?"

The middle-aged man sitting on the edge also spoke up, "Little sister, how can you talk to your sister-in-law like that? Is it wrong that she cares about you? Don’t be ungrateful."

The girl, looking at the middle-aged man, suddenly burst into tears, "Don’t you all just resent having me as a burden? If you weren’t happy to bring me along, why agree to Mom in the first place?"

Luo Qiao hadn’t fallen asleep. Hearing their conversation, she thought to herself that they really were making a spectacle of themselves.

Probably reaching his limit, the middle-aged man blustered, "If you hadn’t forced Mom to pressure us, do you think we would have wanted to bring you? We haven’t even arrived yet, and you’re already causing trouble. If you keep this up, I’ll take the blame and upset Mom if I have to, just to send you back."

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately stopped retorting. It took her a while before she finally said, "You promised Mom; you can’t go back on your word. I will try to change slowly."

At noon, Lu Yichen softly asked Luo Qiao, who was dozing off on his shoulder, "Qiaoqiao, we still have a few hours to go. Let’s go to the dining car for lunch."

As they had eaten breakfast early, Luo Qiao indeed felt a bit hungry, so she opened her eyes and replied softly, "Okay."

No sooner had they left than the girl said, "Brother, I want to go to the dining car to eat, too."

The middle-aged man glanced at his clueless younger sister, "Mom packed some food for us. Just eat that; it’s hot today and you wouldn’t want the food to spoil."

The girl said unhappily, "How stingy."

After eating, Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao weren’t in a hurry to return to their seats. Holding hands, they stood in the space between the carriages, chatting.

"Qiaoqiao, my dormitory application has been approved. I got the third-floor room on the edge, just like you wanted."

"That was fast. Once we get back, I’ll drop by to get familiar with the place."

"Sure. Take a look, and then I can start to arrange everything according to your wishes."
