In the age of rebirth, the toughest man who retired from marriage

Chapter 45

·
Seeing that he was going to work, neither of them said anything.

Looking at his back, Xie Mingzhu turned to look at Huo Xuan: "When was your friend? Why don't I know him?"

Although she has stayed in the home of her adoptive parents for nearly ten years, she is still in the same city after all, so she is still related to Huo Xuan.

Whenever he met a new friend, Huo Xuan would write to her to tell her.

Therefore, she probably knew all of his friends.

Huo Xuan withdrew his gaze, glanced at her, and murmured: "That's because you don't care about my affairs."

The voice was very low, Xie Mingzhu didn't hear clearly, she just turned to look at him: "What did you say?"

Huo Xuan shook his head and said softly: "I told you, the one who was always bullied when I was young."

Hearing what he said, Xie Mingzhu immediately remembered.

"Is it the one who was splashed with soup in the cafeteria?"

Huo Xuan once mentioned it to her.

Because he was bullied by others when he was a child, so when he grows up, he is not used to such things.

"Now he looks quite optimistic, unlike what you said, he doesn't like to talk." Xie Mingzhu said softly.

Huo Xuan obviously didn't expect that she would still remember, the corners of his lips raised slightly unconsciously, coughed lightly, and then said: "I was quite shy when I was a child, but now it's not the same as when I was a child."

Xie Mingzhu didn't say anything else, she nodded lightly, turned around and began to make the bed again.

Although Zong Shengli said that the sheets would be replaced every time he arrived at the station, and no one had ever slept on them, Xie Mingzhu still replaced the sheets with his own.

I can also sleep more comfortably.

Huo Xuan wasn't so particular about it, even if it was all the way back to the ticket station, he didn't care.

After making the bed, the two walked towards the dining car.

Zong Shengli was already waiting for them in the compartment of the dining car. Seeing them coming, he quickly smiled and waved to them.

"I've been waiting for you for a while." Zong Shengli smiled, "Come and eat!"

Xie Mingzhu glanced sideways at Huo Xuan.

Originally, he was going to invite Zong Shengli to dinner, but he didn't expect to be honored by him now.

Huo Xuan smiled and shook his head, saying it's okay: "It's okay, don't worry about it."

Just go back after eating.

Seeing what he said, Xie Mingzhu stopped being polite to him.

Originally, Zong Shengli wanted to choose some wine for Huo, but because he couldn't drink during work and had no one to accompany him, he didn't drink it at all.

It didn't take long to eat, and after a quick meal, I went on duty again.

Xie Mingzhu looked at Huo Xuan, and asked aloud: "Has he been running this route now? Is he still in Shencheng? After returning to Shencheng, see if he has time. Then I will treat him to dinner." .”

Huo Xuan glanced at her, and said softly: "You don't need to worry about this, just leave it to me."

Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips, and finally nodded lightly, without saying anything.

When the two returned to the carriage after dinner, there were already two people in the carriage.

The older one is about 50 years old, wearing a blue cadre uniform that has been washed a little whitish.

The other looks about 30 years old and looks like a secretary.

Seeing Xie Mingzhu and the others come in, they nodded with a smile.

Seeing them like this, Xie Mingzhu knew what kind of leader they were, and smiled back.

However, he didn't rush forward to chat.

Seeing that they were still packing their luggage, he exchanged glances with Huo Xuan, walked out again, and sat on a chair outside.

The two sat and rested for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Huo Xuan looked at Xie Mingzhu, and said aloud, "It's getting late, go wash up first."

Xie Mingzhu nodded lightly, returned to the carriage, took out the toiletries and a small basin from the luggage bag, and went to the bathroom.

When he came back, he saw that Huo Xuan had already chatted with the secretary.

The man was just taking out a pack of Panda cigarettes, and handed one to Huo Xuan: "Thank you, our chief didn't let me mention it to you, but I didn't expect you to bring it up."

Huo Xuan doesn't smoke, so he politely declined the cigarette he handed over.

After a while of politeness, the man returned to the carriage again.

Xie Mingzhu came to Huo Xuan, took a look inside, and then asked softly, "What did he tell you?"

Huo Xuan shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Aren't our tickets for the lower berth? Both of them are for the upper berth."

Having said this, Xie Mingzhu understood.

People in their 50s are really not suitable for climbing up and down.

Huo Xuan probably gave him his own bed.

Xie Mingzhu didn't care, and asked Huo Xuan to wash up too, and came back early to rest.

Huo Xuan nodded lightly, took the towel and toiletries and went to the toilet.

When Huo Xuan came back, the two of them were sleeping on the lower bunk, and Xie Mingzhu was on the upper bunk, re-rolling her blanket.

There was only half a meter between the two lower beds, and lying on it seemed like sleeping with a stranger, so she also changed beds with the secretary-looking person.

The secretary naturally wanted it.

Xie Mingzhu made the bed, glanced at Huo Xuan, and said in a low voice, "Go to bed earlier."

Huo Xuan nodded slightly.

After locking the door and asking the other two if they needed lights, he turned off the lights.

Only the small lamps on their respective beds were left, and they could be turned off by themselves when the time came.

After the two got on the bunk, the room quickly fell silent.

Neither side spoke again.

She didn't sleep well last night and woke up early in the morning, so Xie Mingzhu fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.

When I woke up again, it was already the next day.

It was not yet daylight.

I glanced at the time, but it was already seven o'clock.

But the weather outside is not good, it looks like it's going to rain, so it looks like it's not dawn yet.

Originally, I thought that I would not be able to sleep well on the train, but I didn't expect to sleep very comfortably that night, and I didn't even have to wake up at night.

After stretching, she sat up.

Turning his gaze around, he found that she was the only one in the carriage at the moment.

It seemed that she was really asleep, and she didn't notice when the three of them got up one after another.

Getting out of bed, she gathered up her sheets and blankets.

I can arrive after lunch today, so I don't need it now.

As soon as I finished packing, I saw the secretary come in with a lunch box.

Afterwards, he handed her the lunch box in his hand, and said with a smile: "Little comrades, I really thank you for last night, please have breakfast."

Xie Mingzhu quickly waved her hand: "You are too polite, no need, my friend has already bought breakfast."

Huo Xuan didn't know if she went to buy breakfast, it was just her excuse.

Not too familiar after all.
