Jiang Tingxia and Li Changpu stayed together for quite a while before leaving the room. The two of them stood together, looking no different from before.

But if you look more closely, you can see that both of them have slightly flushed faces, their brows are relaxed, and they have smiles that they can't hide.

They had to catch a train and couldn't delay any longer, so they checked out of the room and headed for the train station.

The four of them just filled up an entire sleeper car. Li Changpu put Master An on the bed, An Qian sat on one side to take care of him, and Li Changpu and Jiang Tingxia sat on the other side.

Jiang Tingxia was really exhausted from taking the train last time. She was still feeling a bit traumatized when she sat on the train again, and she looked listless.

Li Changpu took out the motion sickness medicine that he had prepared and asked, "How do you feel? Do you want to take some medicine?"

Jiang Tingxia nodded, took the pill, swallowed it, picked up the green military canteen and drank a sip of water. She looked at An Xi, "Do you want to take some medicine, An Xi? You have never been away from home before, will you feel uncomfortable?"

An Xi felt fine and said, "I don't feel uncomfortable. I'll take medicine when I feel uncomfortable."

After taking motion sickness medicine, Jiang Tingxia felt dizzy and fell into a deep sleep, not even waking up at lunch time.

Li Changpu bought two boxes of lunch and An Qian fed Master An some sugar water while asking, "Brother-in-law, aren't you going to ask Sister Tingxia to get up and eat?"

Li Changpu glanced at Jiang Tingxia who was sleeping soundly, and tugged at the blanket around her waist, "Tell her to sleep."

Jiang Tingxia slept until five in the afternoon. She opened her eyes and the sunlight shining through the car window had turned orange. Li Changpu was sitting at her feet, leaning against the railing with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

She was about to sit up, but noticed Jiang Tingxia's movements. Li Changpu suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Wake up."

Jiang Tingxia leaned against the wall, "Why don't you go back to bed."

Li Changpu slept on the upper bunk and Jiang Tingxia slept on the lower bunk.

"I'll just take a nap here for a while."

Jiang Tingxia pointed to the kettle on the table and said, "I want some water."

Li Changpu handed it to her. Jiang Tingxia took a sip and felt better. She muttered, "I slept too long. My throat is dry."

"I really don't know whether it was motion sickness medicine or sleeping pills."

Jiang Tingxia had slept for so long that a few strands of hair on her forehead were messy. Li Changpu resisted the urge to reach out and tidy up her hair. After all, there were other people in the carriage, and it was better for couples to be intimate behind closed doors.

He asked, "Are you hungry?"

She always slept through lunch.

Jiang Tingxia covered her stomach and said, "A little bit."

Li Changpu looked at the silver watch on his wrist and said, "It's not time for dinner yet. I'll take you to the dining car for dinner."

"Okay."

Jiang Tingxia put on her shoes with a smile, said hello to An Xi and left the car.

Jiang Tingxia had slept in bed for too long, so she asked Li Changpu to walk slower so that she could stretch her muscles.

When passing by a carriage, Jiang Tingxia suddenly grabbed Li Changpu, closed his eyes, and sniffed forward, "What a nice smell!"

She pulled Li Changpu and asked, "Did you smell it?"

Li Changpu was about to look in the direction Jiang Tingxia was talking, but Jiang Tingxia had already grabbed his arm and excitedly pointed to a table next to a seat seven or eight steps away from them, "Over there."

Li Changpu looked and saw a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties opening an oil paper package, which contained a large roast chicken.

Jiang Tingxia looked at Li Changpu, blinked, and said weakly, "I want to eat."

Li Changpu: "The dining car should also have roast chicken, let's go take a look."

Jiang Tingxia shook her head and looked at the small table in the distance. The brown oil paper bag was already shiny with the grease of the roast chicken. "That's what I want to eat."

“It smells delicious, different from ordinary roast chicken.”

Li Changpu raised an eyebrow, "Then, shall I go and ask?"

Jiang Tingxia hummed and pushed his back, "Then please make the trip."

Li Changpu was pushed forward a few steps by Jiang Tingxia. He turned around and asked, "Aren't you coming with me?"

Jiang Tingxia shrank back and said, "I'm sorry."

Li Changpu: "I'm just embarrassed!"

Jiang Tingxia waved at him, "Go quickly, go quickly."

Li Changpu walked to his elder brother, stretched out his hand to scratch his eyebrows, thought for a while, and then said, "Brother, what are you eating? It smells so good."

The eldest brother who was holding the pancake stopped what he was doing and looked at Li Changpu suspiciously.

Nowadays, everyone's financial situation is difficult to manage and food is the most important thing. Not to mention strangers, even friends and relatives will not come over when someone is eating, as if they are asking for a free meal.

The people sitting next to the eldest brother seemed to be his wife and children. They were also looking at Li Changpu. After he said those words to chat him up, they silently moved the food on the table away and moved a little further away from Li Changpu.

Li Changpu: ...It's embarrassing. He seems to be treated as a weird person.

Jiang Tingxia stood in the distance, watching Li Changpu negotiate. The two sides were chatting animatedly, it was very lively. The eldest brother laughed heartily a few times, then took out an oil-paper bag from his bag.

It's roast chicken!

Finally, Jiang Tingxia saw Li Changpu walking towards her with big strides, holding a roast chicken in his hand.

Jiang Tingxia walked over with a smile, "I thought you were going to ask where I bought the roast chicken."

"I didn't expect you to bring it directly."

Jiang Tingxia kept her eyes on the roast chicken. Although she was talking to him, she didn't even look at him. Seeing her like this, Li Changpu smiled and said, "Go back and eat."

Jiang Tingxia nodded and walked back with Li Changpu.

She followed Li Changpu and flattered him generously, saying with a smile, "You have excellent communication skills. Tell me how you did it. How could someone be willing to give you one when you just met by chance?"

Li Changpu looked at Jiang Tingxia with sparkling eyes. His cold eyes were like melting spring snow. He smiled and said, "I said, my wife is a greedy cat. She will cry if she can't eat roast chicken. So they are willing to sell me one."

Jiang Tingxia was unhappy when he heard him say that he was greedy, "You are making up stories about me!"

Li Changpu shook the roast chicken in his hand and said, "Look at you, you are almost drooling, and you still say you are not greedy."

Jiang Tingxia rushed towards him, her face flushed, "Did you really say that to others?"

Seeing the mischievous smile on Li Changpu's face, she reached out and twisted his arm.

"Did you really say that?"

Li Changpu hissed, then said, "Okay, okay, I was just teasing you."

Jiang Tingxia grabbed his arm, "Then what did you say?" There was a threat on her face, as if she would pinch him again if Li Changpu didn't talk nicely.

Li Changpu then answered seriously, "I just chatted for a few words, praised the roast chicken for its delicious taste, and asked directly if they could sell me one."

"Not a word about you."

Jiang Tingxia let him go, "That's better."

Li Changpu added, "My eldest brother said this is a specialty of their hometown. It tastes good when you tear off the roast chicken, sprinkle some seasoning on it, and roll it up with a sesame seed cake."

He waved the oil paper package in front of Jiang Tingxia and said, "I just want some of everything, sesame seed cakes, roast chicken, everything."

Jiang Tingxia swallowed and pulled him back, "Hurry up, I'm starving."
