Jiang Cheng used a photo to make Shen Que’s heart race like a drum.
On the way back, Shen Que had only one thought: I’ll miss you.
It wasn’t until he got to the machinery factory that his lips finally stopped curling up, but his good mood lasted the whole day.
On the other hand, Jiang Cheng, who boarded the train, felt a bit different.
Because she didn’t have time to think about Shen Que, all her focus was on squeezing, squeezing, squeezing!
Thankfully, Gao Zhonghua used his long arms and legs to protect her and Li Chunxiang, otherwise, they wouldn’t even know if someone took advantage of them.
The three of them somewhat disheveled, squeezed onto the train and found their sleeping compartment.
The tickets were bought by Shen Que, so the three of them were in the same compartment.
Soft sleeper, four beds.
They were at the departure station, and no one had yet arrived for the other bed.
After tidying up a bit, Gao Zhonghua took the lower bunk, while Li Chunxiang and Jiang Cheng took the upper ones.
A few minutes after boarding, the train gradually started to move.
Many people pushed open the windows, waving goodbye to the relatives sending them off outside, tears flowing freely for many.
Jiang Cheng and her friends, though, were calm and collected.
After all, they already had their tea ready, and were munching on sunflower seeds.
Once the train picked up speed, Jiang Cheng, after having two cups of tea, opened the bag she brought and strapped on sunflower seeds, peanuts, and dried sweet potatoes, ready to head out.
Gao Zhonghua wanted to follow her.
"No way, your appearance isn’t conducive to my negotiations."
"I’ll be fine, you stay here."
Gao Zhonghua was a bit uneasy, but listened obediently.
Mr. Shen had said that outside, they should listen to Jiang Cheng.
"Don’t worry, at most, I’ll be back in two hours."
After agreeing, Jiang Cheng left with her things.
But not even half an hour had passed before she returned.
Li Chunxiang quickly got up, looking at Jiang Cheng and asked, "Why so fast?"
Jiang Cheng put down her things, sighed, and said, "I’ve brought this upon myself!"
"I!"
Jiang Cheng pointed to herself, then opened the compartment door and pointed outside.
Curious, Li Chunxiang followed her out and saw a poster pasted up.
It looked a bit like illustrations from comic books, easy to understand even if you couldn’t read.
The picture simply and clearly depicted someone deliberately getting close to then knocking out another person to kidnap a child.
Li Chunxiang blinked, then looked back at Jiang Cheng.
"You drew this?"
Jiang Cheng nodded.
"Sort of, I provided the promotional idea, and also the drawing concept, but now... whenever I go chat with people, they all look at me warily."
"I walked around and found at least five posters in every compartment!"
Jiang Cheng was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry at this point.
She calmly accepted it, saying, "Oh well, I suppose I’ve contributed to raising public awareness about child abduction."
Li Chunxiang glanced aside and confidently said, "You had to contribute! You’re the most convincing person I’ve met, if you can’t persuade them, the swindlers definitely won’t stand a chance."
After saying this, Li Chunxiang even nodded firmly.
Jiang Cheng, upon hearing this, nodded along, saying, "Thank you, Comrade Li, for the roundabout compliment."
Li Chunxiang thought about the word compliment, and followed behind Jiang Cheng, muttering quietly: Did I compliment her?
After returning to the compartment, Jiang Cheng honestly read a book.
Since she couldn’t go out, she might as well rest properly.
Seeing this, Li Chunxiang fully played the role of a good assistant.
Taking care of food, drink, bathroom needs, all of it.
Hua Ying.
