At 9:58, the two boarded the green train from Anjing to Zhalan.

Anjing is not on the coast, but it is not far from Zhalan.

The green train runs for a day and arrives at Zhalan Station at around 8pm.

This time point is not very friendly, but Zhalan is a small town and there is only one train per day.

As the weather gets colder, not many people go to the northern seaside, and Zhalan also enters the tourist off-season.

However, it is not a tourist city, and most people who take the train to Zhalan are returning home, so it is not easy to buy tickets.

After they bought the last two train tickets on a whim, Lin Xingran said proudly: You see, I said Zhalan is full of miracles.

Jiang Baige, however, was still bothered by Lin Xingran's keeping the secret.

No matter how Jiang Baige coaxed and persuaded, Lin Xingran insisted on telling her why he wanted to take her to Zhalan to see the sea on the train.

Because it's a very long story, perfect for killing time on the train.

After the train slowly started moving, Jiang Baige said to Lin Xingran, who was still fiddling with the laptop in front of him, "Actually, I should pay you a salary."

In order to accompany Jiang Baige, Lin Xingran had to squeeze out time to complete a lot of work.

This is a bit like Jiang Baige in the past few years, who had to write articles, work, and meddle in other people's business at the same time.

But she hopes that this matter of hers is not a "side job" for Lin Xingran, but a "part-time job" that can generate income.

Lin Xingran raised his head in the middle of his busy schedule and said cheerfully, "Okay."

She thought Jiang Baige was joking, but Jiang Baige nodded, looked at Lin Xingran's eyes very seriously, and asked: "Which part of my inheritance are you more interested in? I can write a will in advance and leave it to you."

Before Lin Xingran could answer, Lin Xingran had just received a message and was replying.

Jiang Baige added: "Of course, before I die, I can also pay you the daily wage for full-day care."

After Lin Xingran replied to the message, the work finally came to an end.

She closed her laptop and said, "I think you are not sick with your stomach, but with your brain."

"Even sisters should settle accounts clearly."

"But how can you be sure that you will die?"

Lin Xingran's words left Jiang Baige speechless.

Because Jiang Baige couldn't say to her, "My experience from two lifetimes tells me that my life expectancy may be only 30 years old."

I had to change the subject: "You've finished your work. Are you still going to tell me about Zha Lan's story?"

"Okay, then tell the story."

This is a true story that happened to Lin Xingran’s classmate in Gangcheng.

She temporarily called her classmate Xiaofa.

Although they are classmates, Xiaofa is not a full-time graduate student, but a teacher at a university in Lincheng, who went to Gangcheng as a scholar exchange.

So they actually met in the short-term dialect training course that Lin Xingran signed up for.

You wouldn't have known this until you started talking. Once you started talking, you found that you were actually "fellow countrymen" and your relationship naturally became warmer.

Later, an epidemic broke out and Xiaofa's school decided to end the exchange early.

At that time, Xiaofa's husband even flew to Hong Kong to pick her up, which made many girls envy her for being so lucky to have a husband who loved her so much.

Not long after Xiaofa returned, at the end of the year, he was diagnosed with a lump in his body, similar to Jiang Baige's condition.

But Xiaofa was braver than Jiang Baige. After discovering the problem, he went straight to the hospital for a follow-up check-up.

Although it was confirmed after examination, the tumor was benign and not cancerous. She recovered well after hospitalization and surgery.

In order to celebrate her survival, Xiaofa held a small dinner party and invited friends she had known for many years. They were either her own friends or her husband's friends. Married people could also bring their families.

Because she was celebrating the fact that she had saved her life, she thought the more lively the better.

When her husband's good friend of many years, Xiaomei, attended the party, he brought his wife along.

Xiaomei’s wife and Xiaofa’s couple are not very close, but because Xiaofa’s husband and Xiaomei are more familiar with each other, the four of them would occasionally get together in the past.

But since Xiaofa went to Hong Kong City, especially after he fell ill, I haven't seen him again.

Who would have thought that halfway through the dinner, Xiaofa's husband suddenly grabbed Xiaomei's wife's hand and said that he had been with Xiaomei for half a year and now they decided to elope and return to their family in three years...

After saying that, the two of them left hand in hand without looking back.

Leaving behind Xiaofa and...Lin Xingran, their hair disheveled in the wind.

"That's right." Lin Xingran patted his chest, "I was at the scene and can prove that everything you said is true."

At that time, Lin Xingran had just ended his wandering in Gangcheng and returned to Lincheng.

When Xiaofa found out, he naturally invited her.

I never thought that I would encounter such a dramatic thing just after returning.

In order to comfort Xiaofa that day, Lin Xingran did not go home at all. Instead, he found a hotel nearby and listened to Xiaofa's crying all night.

Jiang Baige closed her open mouth, puzzled: "Although this story is very exciting, but...what does it have to do with Zha Lan?"

Lin Xingran shook his finger: "Don't worry! I'm not writing an online article. I have to catch the reader's attention in the first three lines... Let me tell you slowly."

Jiang Baige had no choice but to listen to her patiently.

"I just said that we talked in the room all night, but she actually only cried in the first half of the night..."

In the second half of the night, the two of them were thinking about how to get that dead man out of the house.

Xiao Fa gritted his teeth and said, "It would be better to just let him die!"

This was originally said in anger, but it opened up the two people's minds: Yes, this man has disappeared from the face of the earth, so as his legal wife, they can declare this "missing person" dead.

"We checked and found that if the disappearance was due to an accident, then it only takes two years to apply, but..."

Jiang Baige continued, "But even though that man is not with Xiaofa, he still lives a carefree life and has never thought about hiding his whereabouts, so he can't report it, right?"

Lin Xingran nodded.

After 21 and 22 years, 23 years is almost halfway through and it is time for the man to "return to the family" as he agreed.

That guy even shamelessly sent Xiaofa text messages with countdown messages...

Xiaofa was made very anxious.

It's not about feelings, it's about money.

Before, the two were considered a model couple, and the husband always earned more than Xiaofa and spent money generously, so Xiaofa never paid much attention to money matters.

But after her husband ran away, she wanted a divorce and hired a lawyer to check her husband's assets, only to find that there were only tens of thousands of dollars in his name.

In other words, if they divorce, almost half of her property will go to the other party, and she will only get 20,000 or 30,000 yuan of her husband's property.

"Then I advised her to go relax and stop thinking too much..."

Jiang Baige understood: "So she came to Zhalan?"

"clever!"

"Then the miracle you are talking about could not be..." Jiang Baige covered her mouth.
