Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 839

Chapter 839: Chapter 712: Possessed by Obsession

In the early morning before dawn, everyone was awakened. After washing up, they each took their luggage and prepared to depart.

Inside the room, Zhou Jiao wore a long-sleeve shirt and pants. As she grabbed her bag and slung it over her back, she hesitated when she noticed that grass-green bag but ended up taking it along.

Xie Fang glanced at it without saying a word, picking up her luggage and waiting for the three of them at the door. Last night, she saw Zhou Jiao bringing it back. Although Qiao Na asked several times without getting a straight answer, she was curious to see what it was.

With Yi Jiefang’s reminder, Zhou Jiao was even more vigilant about the happenings around her. Just as her father said, many clever people often stumble over insignificant individuals.

Why is this?

In Zhou Jiao’s opinion, nobody in this world is simple; it’s all about how ruthless one can be. While some female classmates may have the era’s unique simplicity and sincerity, there are always surprises.

Just like the person in front of her, whose eyes always bore a scrutinizing and plotting look. As long as she doesn’t provoke Zhou Jiao, there should be no hard feelings.

Zhou Jiao was well aware of the advantages held by young women, especially those with both talent and looks. Without any backing, just daring to go all out to sell herself, adeptly, she wields power akin to a nuclear bomb!

"Do you want me to carry it for you?"

Zhou Jiao smiled and shook her head, turning to urge the two people behind her to hurry up.

Following the teachers’ arrangement, they each boarded the truck. It was said that their group of teachers and students would arrive at the neighboring city’s power station after four hours.

Zhou Jiao squeezed into a corner following Qiao Na, tossing her luggage bag and getting inside, leaning against it and ignoring the noise around her with eyes closed.

"You asleep?"

"Yeah, wake me up when we arrive."

As the vehicle started moving, Zhou Jiao silently grimaced in pain. What exactly did Yi Hunu pack in this thing? It was poking her back painfully, especially when the vehicle jolted.

Twitching her back, Zhou Jiao moved the troublesome item into the space, not bothering to look at the dumped items, directly stuffing with cotton before pressing it against her back again.

She wasn’t worried about anyone noticing anything off, deliberately sliding inside to consider safety hazards earlier on. If she later finds nothing eye-catching, she’ll swap it back and toss it on her lap.

If anyone wants to look, let them! The worst loss would be some snacks.

With soft cotton, except for a sore bum, she felt much better. She kept her eyes closed, busy examining the items Yi Hunu provided in the space.

Military biscuits, canned meat and fish, a big bag of White Rabbit candy, glutinous rice cakes, and pastries—Zhou Jiao stared blankly at these items, recalling the day he helped her serve several dishes.

The truck jolted over a pit, jerking her body. Zhou Jiao immediately snapped back, seeing her classmates inside the carriage, including Yi Jiefang.

She finally understood why Zhang Guoqing was being so awkward? Perhaps her husband had noticed something. No wonder he kept emphasizing to deal with wild men ruthlessly if she encountered them.

Zhou Jiao smugly chuckled internally. What a bunch of nonsense! Since the other party hasn’t expressed anything, she might as well feign ignorance and keep future interactions minimal.

Zhou Jiao closed her eyes again, stowing the bag in the space, then repacks with glutinous rice and pastries, laying a sheet and yarn, arranging it to its original size before taking it out to place behind her.

Those military supplies and White Rabbit candies wouldn’t be brought out, planning to conceal them from Zhang Guoqing. Even though it’s unintentional, these items could easily lead to misunderstandings.

It’s ridiculous. She barely interacted with him; where did that guy get any ideas? Zhou Jiao refused to believe she’s deluding herself.
