quadruple sleep

Chapter 319 Not a Couple
Originally, Lu Nanshen had booked two lower berths, but Hang Si saw that there were also girls on the other side, so he gave up one lower berth, so it became an arrangement of two girls on the lower berth and two boys on the upper berth. Jiang Dongyang thanked Lu Nanshen repeatedly and said that he would make up the difference no matter what.

Lu Nanshen smiled and said, "Meeting is fate, no need to worry."

But the couple obviously didn't want to take advantage of this, so they took out a lot of food from their bags and invited Lu Nanshen and Hang Si to eat together. It was fate that they met someone they could talk to during the trip. Shen Lixia was quite shy, but Jiang Dongyang was quite talkative and treated Lu Nanshen like a brother. Through the conversation, they learned that Jiang Dongyang and the others arrived at the terminal like them, and then transferred to other cities.

Shen Lixia was quite surprised to learn that Lu Nanshen and his friends were going to Meitang Village. "You two like to go to such a remote place to play."

"Have you been there?" Hang Si asked.

Shen Lixia pinched the peanut shells, picked out the peanuts one by one, and rubbed off the red skin. She shook her head, "I've only heard about it. It's hidden deep in the mountains, and transportation is very inconvenient. But it's said that the place is very beautiful. In winter, plum blossoms are in full bloom, and in early summer, crabapples are everywhere. This may be the origin of the name of the ancient village. It's also very beautiful. Who knows, you may be able to see plum blossoms when you go there. This season is just right."

Jiang Dongyang's opinion was different from Shen Lixia's. "I think it's better not to go to the undeveloped ancient villages if possible."

"Why?" Lu Nanshen asked.

Jiang Dongyang was waiting for a bowl of instant noodles to be cooked. In his words, he missed the time when he ate instant noodles on the train when he first went to college, so he took out the instant noodles not long after getting on the train, regardless of whether he was hungry or not, and just reminisced. He said, "I don't know if you have been to this kind of village before. Generally speaking, the more secluded the village is, the more potential uncertainties and dangers there are. It's not that they are so vicious, but we may not understand their rules and it will be troublesome if we cause some conflicts. Moreover, they don't have much contact with the outside world, and they must be very hostile to outsiders entering the village."

Lu Nanshen asked, "What are their local customs?"

"That..." Jiang Dongyang shook his head. "I'm not sure. There are many undeveloped villages like Meitang across the country. We are the only ones who have heard of this village. Many people don't even know where Meitang Village is."

After eating and chatting, it was time to go to bed.

While Jiang Dongyang and Shen Lixia were washing up, Lu Nanshen whispered to Hang Si, "These two people are not graduates, nor are they a couple."

Hang Si? He asked, looking at Lu Nanshen in surprise.

Lu Nanshen moved closer to her, as if he was worried that there were ears on the other side of the wall. But Hang Si thought he did it on purpose, and put his index finger on his chest, "This distance is good, I can still see your expression."

Lu Nanshen pursed his lips and smiled lightly, not being annoyed. He let her lean against him and said, "Jiang Dongyang and the other two created the illusion that they almost missed the train from the beginning. In fact, they were already on the train, but they only came here after confirming our sleeper numbers."

"Is it coming for us?" Hang Si tried to recall carefully, but she still couldn't find any flaws.

"I can hear the footsteps of two people."

Hang Si believed in Lu Nanshen's judgment.

There were a lot of footsteps coming and going in this carriage, but she didn't pay much attention to it at first, so she didn't think about it that way. She frowned and asked, "Who could it be? Is he related to the murderer? Is he helping the murderer to keep watch?"

Lu Nanshen said, "The closer we get to Meitang Village, the closer we get to the truth, and the more excited the murderer will be. Of course, the murderer will also create trouble for us in various ways." He paused, "So, those two people are not just stalking us. Jiang Dongyang and Shen Lixia both have calluses on their hands, which don't look like the hands of scholars." Hang Si was suddenly shocked. She didn't notice these details. "Then we have to be extra careful tonight."

"Now that we are here, let's make the best of it." Lu Nanshen raised his hand and touched her head.

Soon, Jiang Dongyang came back, followed by Shen Lixia. Seeing Lu Nanshen and Hang Si sitting next to each other, and their actions were quite intimate, Jiang Dongyang smiled and said, "Suddenly I feel like we have become light bulbs."

Lu Nanshen didn't shy away from it. He took Hang Si's shoulder and said with a smile, "According to what you said, we are both light bulbs."

Jiang Dongyang smiled, and Shen Lixia said, "You two have a really good relationship."

Because of Lu Nanshen's reminder, Hang Si secretly looked around and found some clues. If you look closely, there is a difference between real couples and fake couples. For example, Jiang Dongyang and Shen Lixia were both taking care of themselves when eating, but Lu Nanshen and she would always subconsciously take care of each other first. Even when they were drinking a bottle of water, Lu Nanshen would habitually unscrew the bottle and give it to her first.

When this thought flashed through her mind, Hang Si's heart trembled slightly. Does this mean that she has actually accepted the fact that Lu Nanshen is her boyfriend from the bottom of her heart?

Close the door to block out the noise from the corridor.

Lu Nanshen and Jiang Dongyang went to the upper bunk.

Hang Si was lying on the lower bunk, facing Jiang Dongyang diagonally. She noticed that Jiang Dongyang was very agile when he went to the upper bunk, and he really didn't look like a nerd at all. Suddenly, Shen Lixia leaned over the small table with most of her body, and her sudden behavior really scared Hang Si.

Shen Lixia looked apologetic and told Hang Si that she had trouble sleeping and asked if she could turn off the bedside lamp. She couldn't sleep with light on. She kept apologizing to Hang Si, hoping that she could understand. Before Hang Si could speak, Jiang Dongyang, who was on the upper bunk, gently scolded Shen Lixia, "We are all out, so don't ask for so much. You don't want light, what if others are afraid of the dark?"

Hang Si said softly, "It doesn't matter, I'm going to turn it off anyway." After that, he reached out and turned off the bedside lamp on her side.

In the darkness, Shen Lixia said faintly, "Thank you."

The small space was plunged into silence and darkness. The curtains were drawn on the windows, and occasionally a splash of light would jump over from outside. The train was stable and there was no noise. Hang Si was awake with her eyes open. She knew that no one in the room would sleep that night. When she turned over, her phone vibrated slightly. She pulled up the quilt to cover the light of the phone. It was a WeChat message from Lu Nanshen on the upper bunk.

【Go to sleep and recharge your energy. 】

Hang Si thought about it and replied: [What about you? ]

Soon the phone vibrated again: [Be obedient. ]

Hang Si stared at the three words he replied, knowing full well that he was going to stare. She had originally been reminding herself not to sleep, as she couldn't let Lu Nanshen face danger alone. But as the silence and darkness stretched on, she gradually became sleepy, and her eyelids seemed to be fighting.

She had one arm against the side of the bed, and she felt as if there was an electric current flowing through her...
