Chapter 1366 The girl who can make Zhou Chen gentle

Peng Mingjie took the initiative to start the conversation, and Zhou Chen naturally followed his lead.

"Are you also working in the police system? Hello, hello."

Zhou Chen took the initiative to shake hands with Peng Mingjie, and then said, "This matter is not troublesome. Although passengers are not allowed to enter the dining car except during meal times, exceptions can be made occasionally. Moreover, you also work in our police system, so it's no problem to make an exception."

"Thank you so much, but please let Lili go. I won't go. I want to stay over there and watch over the luggage. There are so many people coming and going on this train, and it won't work if no one watches over the luggage."

Peng Mingjie said with gratitude, he was not worried at all about letting his daughter go with Zhou Chen alone.

On the one hand, it is Zhou Chen’s identity as a policeman, and on the other hand, it is because of Zhou Chen’s attitude and image.

The identity of a policeman makes people trust and respect him easily. A person's image and attitude can often play the same role.

The phrase "judging people by their appearance" doesn't sound good, but in fact most people have this habit. A person with outstanding looks and gentle attitude is definitely more convincing than a person with ordinary or ugly looks.

After agreeing, Peng Yongli followed Zhou Chen to the dining car.

"In fact, our train police and train attendants have their own rest cars with berths for you to lie down on. It's just that it's not convenient to take you there, so we can only let you rest here in the dining car. The conditions are limited."

Peng Yongli said in a light voice: "It's okay. It's much quieter here than in the carriage. I'm very satisfied to be able to sit here. We originally wanted to buy sleeper tickets, but we couldn't get any. Sleeper tickets are really too difficult to buy."

Zhou Chen said: "It can only be said that the timing is wrong. Normally, except for the New Year and other holidays, sleeper tickets are not difficult to buy as long as the conditions are met. This period is entirely because colleges and universities have started classes one after another. Not to mention sleeper tickets, even hard seats and standing tickets are in great demand."

Taking advantage of the light, I saw that Peng Yongli didn't look very well, so I said softly, "Sit down for a while, I'll go get you some hot water."

"I do not……"

Peng Yongli was about to refuse, but Zhou Chen had already walked towards the small kitchen over there, so she could only swallow her words.

After a while, Zhou Chen came over with a black water cup and placed it in front of Peng Yongli.

"Drink some hot water. This cup is new and has never been used."

Just one sentence dispelled Peng Yongli's worries. She opened her mouth and finally gave Zhou Chen a polite smile.

"Thank you."

Taking the teacup, she lowered her head and blew on it, then looked surprised: "This tea?"

"I added some brown sugar to replenish my energy. I still have a long train ride and I can't do it without any strength or energy."

Peng Yongli felt a warm feeling in her heart. She held the water cup in both hands and thanked him again.

In fact, the reason why she couldn't sleep at night was not only because the carriage was too noisy, but also because she was not feeling well. Relatives had come to visit her in the past two days, and she was already feeling very uncomfortable. In a crowded and noisy carriage, it was naturally even more difficult for her to fall asleep.

Zhou Chen brought her to the dining car to rest and made her a cup of brown sugar water. She was young and simple-minded, so she couldn't help but have a great liking for Zhou Chen.

She held the teacup and took a sip. The water was a little hot, but it was very comfortable for her now, as if her mental and physical condition had recovered a little.

"It's delicious. Thank you, police comrade."

"I'm only a few years older than you, just call me Zhou Chen."

Peng Yongli hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, Zhou, Zhou Chen, you can call me Lili. That's what my dad and my friends call me."

"Okay, Lili." Zhou Chen called out of course.

"Are you sleepy? If you are, just sleep here. There are no other people here except the staff at night. If someone asks you, just say my name."

"Okay, thank you, Zhou Chen, but I'm suddenly not that sleepy anymore."

Brown sugar water is not a panacea. It is impossible to cure your discomfort by drinking a few sips.

Zhou Chen said softly: "Since you are not sleepy, then I will chat with you. It happens that I am not very busy now."

But someone happened to spoil the mood, Qin Yan suddenly came to the dining car.

"Brother Chen, we..."

Qin Yan, who was about to report the situation to Zhou Chen, saw Zhou Chen sitting with a girl, and his voice stopped abruptly. When he saw Zhou Chen's eyes looking at him, he immediately understood, and suddenly came up with a quick idea.

"Uh, let me get a water glass."

After saying that, he quickly picked up a cup of water from the table next to him. Without even having time to pour the hot water, he turned around and left the dining car.

Qin Yan came suddenly and left quickly. Zhou Chen didn't react much, but Peng Yongli's face turned slightly red. After all, she was a girl, and it was so late, and she and Zhou Chen were alone in the dining car. It was okay if no one knew about it, but if someone saw it, she would inevitably feel shy.

Seeing Peng Yongli's shyness, Zhou Chen took the initiative to say, "I just heard you say that you were admitted to Ningyang University. You are amazing. I started working in 77, when the college entrance examination was just resumed. I didn't catch up. Otherwise, I might have taken the college entrance examination."

Peng Yongli was surprised when she heard this: "You started working in 77?"

"Yes, I was just 19 that year. After graduating from the police academy, I was assigned to Ningyang Station as a train police officer. Four years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Then you are really amazing. You have only been working for four years and you are already a captain of the police."

Peng Yongli's face was full of admiration. She didn't know much about the duties of a train conductor, but when she heard the title of train conductor captain, she knew that it must be of a higher rank than an ordinary train conductor.

Zhou Chen said modestly: "It's just so-so. You college students are better. You can become cadres after graduation. Besides, your college life is rich and colorful, which will be very interesting."

"Is that right?"

Peng Yongli was looking forward to going to college, but she had no idea what college life was like.

"But I heard that the pressure of studying in college is also very high, and..."

Peng Yongli probably rarely communicates with boys of similar age, so when she met a man like Zhou Chen who was both handsome and gentle, her interest in chatting was immediately piqued. She chatted with Zhou Chen for more than an hour before she couldn't resist her sleepiness and fell asleep on the table.

Zhou Chen put the clothes she brought on her, sat for a while, and then quietly left the dining car.

As soon as I walked out of the car, I saw Qin Yan leaning against the door in front of me.

"Why are you standing here? Why don't you go take a rest?"

"Not sleepy yet."

Qin Yan replied, then approached Zhou Chen with a gossipy look on his face and asked, "Brother Chen, who was that girl just now?"

Zhou Chen glanced at him and snorted, "You are quite gossipy."

Qin Yan chuckled and said, "I'm just curious. I've been with you, Brother Chen, for two months, and I've never seen you treat any girl so well."

He has been in this group for two months and naturally knows a lot about Zhou Chen. There are several people from the railway compound on the car, so some of Zhou Chen's situations are no secret in the car.

Not to mention the past, just the past two months that he had been in contact with him. Although Zhou Chen was very polite to the passengers and there were many beautiful girls of appropriate age who approached Zhou Chen, he had never seen Zhou Chen be so friendly to any girl, and of course he was very curious.

The reason why Zhou Chen was so friendly to Peng Yongli was naturally because she looked very similar to Hua Lan, but he was not interested in explaining so much to Qin Yan.

"Stop talking nonsense and go take a rest. I'll keep an eye on the car."

Qin Yan was a little disappointed that he didn't get to eat the melon he wanted, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. Zhou Chen's majesty was still very strong in his heart.

"Oh, then I'll go take a rest first."

"Go."

Peng Yongli woke up in a daze. It was really uncomfortable to sleep on her stomach. She didn't know how long she had slept, but her hands were stiff and numb. She slowly raised her head and moved her hands.

The train was still moving and it was still dark outside. Then she saw Zhou Chen sitting on the side, leaning back in a chair with his eyes closed.

Zhou Chen heard the noise and slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?"

Peng Yongli asked rather embarrassedly: "How long have I slept?"

Zhou Chen looked down at his watch and replied, "Two hours and eighteen minutes."

Peng Yongli was stunned when she heard Zhou Chen report such a precise number.

"Have I slept that long?"

"Well, we'll be at the next stop in a little while, do you want to move around?"

"Okay, thank you so much for what you did just now." Peng Yongli said gratefully.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it. You sit for a while. I'll go check inside the carriage. Some people will get off the train and I need to maintain order."

"Go and do your work, don't worry about me."

Zhou Chen did not leave immediately. Instead, he picked up the thermos on the table and made a cup of brown sugar water for Peng Yongli.

"Take the cup and drink."

Peng Yongli quickly refused: "No, you have already helped me a lot."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's okay. This is the extra water cup I bought earlier. Since I gave it to you, I naturally can't take it back. You can use it. Don't be so polite."

"How can that be possible? You've already helped me so much, how can I accept your things? No, how about I buy them with money?"

As she spoke, Peng Yongli was about to take money out of her pocket, but Zhou Chen directly put the cup in her hand.

"It's just a water cup, it's not worth much money. You just talked to me for so long. Although we just met by chance, we are still friends. Just consider this as a small gift from me. Okay, don't put it off. I have to get busy now."

Without giving Peng Yongli a chance to refuse, Zhou Chen immediately picked up his hat and quickly walked out of the dining car.

Peng Yongli held the teacup in her hand, staring blankly at the direction Zhou Chen left. She felt that she shouldn't have accepted the cup, but for some reason, she was reluctant to return it.

After waiting for half an hour, when Zhou Chen returned to the dining car again, Peng Yongli had left, but after a while, she came back.

"Here, money for the water cup."

"Please accept it. Otherwise, I would feel embarrassed to accept your cup. I gave you the money and it's considered as my purchase. That's why I feel comfortable accepting it."

Afraid that Zhou Chen would not take the money, Peng Yongli explained seriously.

Seeing the serious expression on Peng Yongli's face, Zhou Chen did not refuse again, but did not take all her money. Instead, he took part of it.

"It's just a water cup, it's not worth much, this is enough."

"Oh."

Peng Yongli took back the remaining money with a smile. She didn't know how much the water cup cost, so she could only take as much as possible.

"Zhou Chen, you said I could contact you if I need to buy a train ticket in the future, so how should I contact you?"

As soon as she said this, her cheeks turned red. This was the first time in her life that she took the initiative to ask for contact information from the opposite sex.

Zhou Chen said: "I don't have a phone at home. I'll leave you the phone number of our police team. If you want to find me, call our police team. If I'm not there, just leave me a message and I'll call you back when I know what's going on."

Peng Yongli smiled happily, took the note with Zhou Chen's phone number, and whispered, "Thank you. I will call you if I need you. I won't disturb you from working now. I will go back to my seat first."

"Okay, if you need anything in the car, you can come to me again."

Zhou Chen did not hide his kindness at all. He had a good impression of Peng Yongli, and coupled with her familiar face, he did not mind getting close to this girl at all.

"Goodbye."

Peng Yongli waved, then happily walked back to her own carriage. She kept the note with the phone number close to her body, looked at the thermos in her hand, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

After more than ten hours, the train finally arrived at its destination, Ningyang Station.

Before the train arrived at the station, the passengers had already begun to crowd and prepare to get off. There was another round of busyness. Only when everyone had left did Zhou Chen and his group's trip end.

To Zhou Chen's surprise, Peng Mingjie brought Peng Yongli to say hello to him and thank him for his previous help before leaving.

This trip was very worthwhile for Zhou Chen because he met Peng Yongli. He knew that they would have more opportunities to meet each other in the future, so he did not show any emotion in front of them.

As soon as Zhou Chen returned to the compound, he saw Wang Xin sitting in the yard feeding chickens.

"Hey, busy man, why are you so free today?"

Wang Xin said cheerfully, "I just finished a case and can rest for a few days. But it's boring to rest at home without you guys."

"Then how do you want to have fun? As a criminal police officer, you can have a few days off, so just rest well. You are complaining now."

Zhou Chen said something and then went back to his home, while Wang Xin scattered the chicken feed in his hand on the ground and followed Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, let's go out and play. Can we invite Xiaonian, Ma Yan, and Dali to join us?"

"You really have a lot of thoughts. We just came back from a trip. I'm not sleeping at home, but going out with you. What are you thinking? Go find them by yourself. I want to take a shower and have a sleep."

"No, you're not going out with me just to play, I have something important to do."

"No matter how important the matter is, it's not as important as my sleep right now."

Zhou Chen didn't even let Wang Xin in through the front door. After entering the house, he simply washed up and lay down on the bed to rest.

Wang Xin stood outside the door, muttering in frustration, "How boring! I wanted to tell you about my heroic image in handling cases."

Zhou Chen lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He couldn't help but think of Peng Yongli whom he met in the car. It can be said that she was the biggest surprise since he came to this world.

Just seeing Peng Yongli, he couldn't help but think of Hualan in the world of "The Story of Minglan", the wife who had been with him for decades and one of the women who had been with him the longest.

Amidst such wild thoughts, Zhou Chen slowly fell into a deep sleep.
