The thief was truly frustrated, having stolen only five cents, and this shabby wallet was really worthless. There wasn’t even a bank card inside, just a single five cents. In his frustration, he thought that luckily he managed to pull off a big heist earlier today. Then he patted his backpack with his right hand and realized something was wrong. He opened the bag and was left speechless because the ten thousand yuan was already gone without him knowing when it happened.
As for Su Xuan, after leaving the train station and boarding the train, it was really not easy to get on with the crowd. Finally, he squeezed inside, and if it weren’t for his strength holding Mengxue as they entered, it was likely that with her petite frame, she wouldn’t have made it in. With the huge crowd, it felt just like the Spring Festival travel rush.
Finally, he managed to bring Xue Mengxue to a spot by the window and sat down. You could say that the seat He Jianguo helped choose for him was decent. Though it wasn’t a sleeper, it was still by the window. Su Xuan let Xue Mengxue sit inside while he took the outside seat.
Although Xue Mengxue felt it was really crowded, she was genuinely happy inside. It was her first time traveling far away with someone she liked, and that sense of being protected made her feel warm inside. Looking at Su Xuan next to her, a warm feeling surged in her heart, and for a moment, she was a bit scared, scared of death. It was the first time she realized how afraid she was of dying. These years, she had never really known what death felt like, living like a walking corpse. But right now, she just wanted to live well, to love Su Xuan well, and take good care of him.
"Mengxue, would you like some water?"
At this moment, Su Xuan was like a gentle and caring boy, standing up to pour Xue Mengxue a cup of hot water. She took the cup and looked at Su Xuan with a face full of happiness.
"Su Shan, why do I suddenly feel so reluctant to die?"
Xue Mengxue said softly, realizing how much she had once longed for life. In the past, life and death didn’t mean much to her, but now she so desperately hoped to hold someone’s hand and stay with them.
"Silly girl, don’t talk about life and death, it’s really unlucky."
Su Xuan gently ruffled her hair, feeling some compassion and heartache for her. He wasn’t very confident in finding the Gu poisoning family, and even if they did, he wasn’t sure if they would agree to provide the antidote, or if they even had the ability to cure it.
If they couldn’t, then Xue Mengxue’s life would soon come to an end. Thinking of this, Lu Li was still a little worried, as it would truly be a pity if such a good girl like Xue Mengxue were to die just like that.
People continued boarding the train one after another.
So to say, this train was indeed fully packed. Not only were all the seats filled, but many were standing. Some were migrant workers who simply found a place and sat down; you could see from their appearance that these workers had a hard time all year and were going home for the New Year.
Suddenly, he recalled the saying, "Whether you have money or not, go home for the New Year." For Huaxia, celebrating the New Year is a sentiment. Su Xuan was thinking whether he would go home this year for the New Year. freewebnøvel.com
After sipping some hot water, Xue Mengxue’s body didn’t feel quite right. Although her current physical condition was very poor, she couldn’t withstand much fatigue. Despite Su Xuan’s assistance throughout their journey on the train, she still felt quite exhausted, especially since the air wasn’t good here, causing her to feel tired, and in Su Xuan’s embrace, she felt like sleeping.
In fact, Xue Mengxue felt quite uncomfortable overall, which was rather normal, given that she was controlled by the Gu Poison. That kind of Love Gu was the most harmful, making her feel as if she were in a constant state of discomfort, practically worse than death. Her whole body felt fleeting, much like having a severe cold, which was very distressing.
At this moment, leaning on Su Xuan’s shoulder, she genuinely felt quite uncomfortable. Su Xuan could somewhat sense the girl’s discomfort, but he also felt helpless, having no real way to address it. He had thought of many solutions, but having exhausted all options, he couldn’t do much else, realizing that perhaps Xue Mengxue’s condition was far more complex than he had imagined.
Xue Mengxue looked at Su Xuan, seeming very weak, resting on Su Xuan’s shoulder, and soon fell asleep. Su Xuan didn’t disturb her too much, realizing just how uncomfortable she was right now and just let her sleep. He thought to himself, it was crucial to quickly find the Gu poisoning family; otherwise, dragging it out further would only torture her more.
A little while later, two people sat across from Su Xuan. They both appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressing like the kind of young men from society. Sitting opposite Su Xuan, their eyes frequently and unconsciously looked at Xue Mengxue leaning against Su Xuan. At this moment, even with just his toes, Su Xuan could figure out what was going through these guys’ minds. Xue Mengxue was indeed very beautiful, and these two guys probably weren’t upright gentlemen at all; they both wanted to take another look.
Su Xuan didn’t want to deal with them; he wasn’t in the mood.
"Brother, are you traveling alone?"
One of them struck up a conversation with Su Xuan, leaving him speechless. Instead of assuming he was alone, he thought, and just said, "Going to Miaojiang!"
Even though he wasn’t keen on answering, he still said the words.
"Oh, going to Miaojiang? What a coincidence, we’re also heading to the Southern Border," one of the men said, their eyes never leaving Xue Mengxue. Even a fool could tell these two were up to something, and Su Xuan certainly knew that these two weren’t good people at all.
These two were regulars at the train station, often engaging in scams and tricks. Of course, scams were just part of it; their main target was lonely female passengers. Many girls might have gone to the restroom and ended up being drugged unconscious and violated by them but never reported it due to embarrassment, allowing them to continue their depraved activities smoothly at the train station.
