Xuxu admired Su Yan's way of thinking, but… she didn't really yearn for it .
Perhaps it was because he had lived abroad for many years, and the culture differed from theirs . He would naturally be influenced to be more open-minded and positive .
Other than traffic junctions, the taxi didn't stop but traveled smoothly . Xuxu could take a nap without being interrupted and woke up only when they reached the train station .
It wasn't a peak season, so there weren't too many tourists and the station wasn't very crowded .
They had arrived at N city on a bus ride .
Her entire journey consisted of bus rides or taxi rides . That way she could avoid leaving any traces of her presence at the rail network and at the same time, she could also enjoy the scenery along the way .
Earlier on, they had already booked the train tickets back to the capital city .

Su Yan carried his backpack on his back . He also carried Xuxu's bag in his hand as they got down from the taxi .
Although it wasn't crowded, they could still see a few commuters around .
There was a queue at every automatic ticket vending machine .
"Xuxu, wait for me here . I'll go collect the tickets . " Su Yan placed the bags beside Xuxu and left to join the queue .
Xuxu took her phone from her bag and glanced at the time .
Whenever she had free time during the trip, she would choose to read instead of using her phone to read about the news .
She had already bought three books during this trip .

It had been a few days since she last read any articles, and she would instantly tune herself out regarding any news articles and choose to ignore the updates .
Just like usual, the moment she switched on her phone, there were several news article notifications .
Today's notifications included a familiar name, and she chose to overlook it .
…
"What time is the train? Is it at the Donghai City train station?" Yan Rusheng reached the station, but he didn't get down from the taxi .
After the person on the other line answered and confirmed with him, he hurriedly opened the door . Without glancing at the taximeter, he gave several hundred yuan to the driver .
He strode with big steps towards the train station while he was still on the line . "11 . 50 a . m . ?"
"I got it . "
After he had verified the information, eagerness and anticipation could clearly be seen on Yan Rusheng's face . He bolted towards the train station .
They had already helped him check Xuxu's purchase of ticket record . He was right after all—she had chosen the old train station, and this was the right one .
This time, he definitely can't miss her .
The news cheered up Yan Rusheng . His eyes frantically darted around . Amidst the crowd, he was looking for the person he had been dearly missing .
…
After reading Zhou Shuang and Su Yue's texts, Xuxu stowed her phone back inside her bag once more .
She raised her head and glanced at Su Yan who was still in the queue . It seemed like he would still take a while .
She opened her bag and took out her water bottle . She was just about to drink some .
"Son, don't be so playful . Be careful! Stop…"
An anxious voice belonging to a woman sounded behind her .
Instinctively, Xuxu turned around and saw a boy on a scooter as he was coming in her direction at a high speed . Her eyes were huge with shock .
She hastily avoided him in time .
But her movements were too big that she spilled most of the water from the bottle in her hand . The floor was slippery, and she missed her footing and fell backward .
