Chapter 402: Four hundred and one, take a train
Hanging the pendant around his neck, Luo Zheng immediately widened his eyes in surprise, "What is this pendant made of? It’s so cool!" After putting on the pendant, the heat on his body disappeared in an instant.
"I found it on my trip; it’s a natural crystal stone with excellent cooling effects," Luo Shu said with a smile. Not only had she given Mu Wan a Mysterious Ice Stone bracelet, but she also gifted Aunt Chen and others. The pendants and bracelets looked like ordinary accessories, but they had defensive and offensive capabilities.
"What a magical stone," Luo Zheng picked up the pendant on his neck, examining it fondly.
"Unless it’s necessary, try not to take it off," Luo Shu reminded him. He was her brother, and she didn’t want him to encounter any misfortune. The Mysterious Ice Stone was cool in summer and warm in winter. Although it no longer contained spiritual energy, it was still highly beneficial for people.
"I got it, big sister!" Luo Zheng smiled and nodded. How could he bear to take off something his sister gave him?
"Let’s eat," Luo Shu said, picking up the chopsticks on the table.
"Sure!" Luo Zheng smiled and nodded.
"I’m heading back to Jinchen tonight and will return before you leave for Jiangcheng," Luo Shu mentioned, thinking of tomorrow’s visit to Meng Yujuan’s home with Wang Fei.
"Do you have something to do, big sister?" Luo Zheng looked at Luo Shu with a hint of surprise and a touch of disappointment in his eyes. His sister was leaving so soon; could it be that she didn’t want to live with him?
"A friend of mine is getting engaged, and my roommate and I have agreed to go celebrate for her," Luo Shu explained. She certainly noticed the trace of disappointment in Luo Zheng’s eyes.
Luo Zheng brightened up with a smile and nodded, "I’ll wait for you to come back." He was just glad that his sister wasn’t leaving because she disliked him.
The train station was bustling with people. Despite the scorching summer heat, it couldn’t deter the enthusiasm of those rushing about.
Luo Shu saw Wang Fei, who was carrying a cloth bag, wearing a red checkered skirt, and had her hair in two long braids. She waved to her with a smile.
Wang Fei hurried over, out of breath, "If you hadn’t called, I would have overslept today." Excited about the trip, she couldn’t sleep last night. She’d never been out of Jinchen alone since she was little.
"Let’s sit for a bit; there’s still time. Here, this is for you." Luo Shu handed the Mysterious Ice Stone bracelet to Wang Fei. As her strength had increased, so had her Talisman Crafting skills, significantly improving. The defensive bracelet she gave Wang Fei would protect her from even Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Wang Fei put on the bracelet and happily said, "It’s so cool to wear! I don’t feel hot at all now, thank you, Luo Shu!"
She reached into her bag and pulled out a lunch box, "Luo Shu, this is the mung bean soup I made yesterday. I just took it out of the refrigerator today before coming. Have some." The weather was unbearably hot. She had mostly spent the summer with mung bean soup and popsicles. But now with the bracelet Luo Shu gave her, she wasn’t afraid of the heat.
Luo Shu took the lunch box, opened it, and took a sip, saying with a smile, "Delicious!"
"If it’s delicious, drink more. I prepared it specially for you," Wang Fei said with a smile. She was always receiving gifts from Luo Shu and didn’t know what to give her in return.
"Sure!" Luo Shu replied with a smile, sipping from the lunch box. In this era, it didn’t matter where you ate or how messy it was, you didn’t have to worry about it being posted online and becoming the hot topic of the day.
"Woo!" The train whistle sounded from far to near, as a green iron train slowly approached the platform.
Those waiting for the train quickly picked up their luggage from the ground and stood at the edge of the platform, waiting for the train to stop.
"Let’s get on the train!" As soon as the train came to a stop, Wang Fei excitedly pulled Luo Shu’s hand and entered the train.
"624! 624... Here are our seats!" Wang Fei, comparing the seat number on her train ticket, had finally found her and Luo Shu’s spots.
She placed her bag on the table, then put another larger bag on the luggage rack above their seats.
Wang Fei sat down and took out two lunch boxes from the bag on the table, one of which was the green bean soup Luo Shu hadn’t finished, and the other containing her own green bean soup.
"According to Meng Yujuan, it’ll take us over ten hours to reach Northern Xiang—it seems so far away!" Wang Fei felt a mix of anticipation, excitement, and a bit of worry. This was her first time sitting on such a long train ride, and she wondered what it would feel like after so many hours.
"Just sleep through the night, and it’ll pass by quickly," Luo Shu said with a smile. This was her third time on a train, the previous two times being with Hanmo. She wondered what Hanmo was doing now?
A woman holding a child took the seat opposite Luo Shu and Wang Fei.
Before long, another woman in a floral blouse sat down beside the woman with the child.
Seeing the child in the woman’s arms, the woman in the floral blouse started chatting with a smile, "Little sister, your child is really handsome, how old is he now?"
Hearing her child praised, the woman holding the baby smiled, "Almost two years old." Which parent wouldn’t want their own child to be complimented?
"This child looks strong and sturdy, he’s bound to be successful someday. Little sister, you’re blessed indeed!" the woman in the floral blouse said with a hearty laugh.
"Then I’ll take your kind words to heart," the woman with the child said cheerfully.
The more they chatted, the more enthusiastic they became, talking about the child’s situation, then about the family, and then back to the child again.
At first, Wang Fei was feeling excited, but as time passed, she gradually became sleepy, "I’ll take a nap; I’m so tired!"
"Sure!" Luo Shu nodded with a smile and also closed her eyes. Although her eyes were shut, she was quite aware of everyone’s moves in the carriage.
Time flew by rapidly as the train moved forward.
When Wang Fei opened her eyes again, she realized it was already bright outside.
She twisted her neck, finding it wasn’t as sore as she’d expected, and when she checked the time, she saw that it was already past ten in the morning. Am I a pig or what? To have slept for twelve hours is just too much!
Turning to look at Luo Shu, she saw her smiling back, "When did you wake up?"
"Just now!" said Luo Shu, as she handed a piece of bread to Wang Fei, "Are you hungry?"
Wang Fei nodded, stood up, and said, "I’ll go to the restroom to freshen up." She couldn’t eat without brushing her teeth.
