It was still the hard seats on the green-skinned train, and when Susu got sleepy, she leaned on the man or nuzzled up on the small table to doze off for a bit.
Along the way, they encountered quite a few warm-hearted and friendly aunties.
Susu could still chat with the aunties without revealing family details, talking back and forth with a smile.
When Susu yawned and fell asleep, after the aunties had babbled on for quite a while, they were met with Lu Xiaoting's expressionless face and his emotionless, "Mm."
The auntie, choked up by his response, simply closed her eyes and went to sleep as well.
Time on the train dragged on, and Susu, out of boredom, counted her fingers, propped her chin to stare out the window in a daze, or chatted quietly with her own man about amusing things.
