Originally, Xiao Yufan had planned to stay in his hometown for about a week, but his parents, worried it might affect his work, decisively “pushed” him out on the fourth day…
Over these few days, Xiao Yufan gradually adjusted his mood. The dead have passed away forever, and the living must carry on. He couldn’t stay immersed in grief forever.
Without the troubles of work or the noise of the city, the ordinary life he once disliked the most had now become what he longed for the most. Yet time moved forward relentlessly, allowing him no chance to linger.
Although the luggage was light, as he left home, Xiao Yufan still felt the weight of the deep familial love. He didn’t know when he would return again—it might be a very long time, so long that even he dared not imagine.
Stepping into the high-speed train’s aisle, Xiao Yufan lit a cigarette. His expression carried a bit of loneliness. So much had happened recently, and he hadn’t even had time to fully process it all—it had all passed too quickly…
“Excuse me, could you please move a little? I’d like to get through…”
A light, melodious voice came over. Xiao Yufan slowly raised his head and met a pair of bright, charming eyes. His natural flirtatious instinct kicked in, his heart skipping a beat or two. He hadn’t expected to encounter such a beauty on the train.
Instinctively stepping back slightly, Xiao Yufan managed to keep his composure. He had seen countless beautiful women before—whether it was Lin Jiayao or Yu Yihan, both were exceptional beauties. So he still had enough self-control.
After this woman boarded, two men wearing sunglasses also entered the carriage. However, they didn’t approach her, but instead sat down in two seats not far from where she was…
Xiao Yufan flicked the half-smoked cigarette into the trash bin and walked over. To his delight, the woman’s seat was actually right beside his. Such a great opportunity to strike up a conversation—he definitely wouldn’t let it slip away.
“Beautiful lady, where are you headed? It’s not very safe on the train, you know. Look at those two eyeing you like hawks!”
Walking toward his seat, Xiao Yufan raised an eyebrow teasingly, looking at her delicate, fair face, and said with a bit of playful banter. Among all the women he had met, this one was definitely the most elegant and gentle.
“I’m going to Beijing. Those… two are just bodyguards sent by my dad. But I think they look kind of scary!”
The girl playfully stuck out her tongue, her expression so adorable that many passengers in the carriage swallowed hard, feeling envious of the lecherous Xiao Yufan for getting to talk to her first.
“Would the beautiful lady mind telling me your name? Of course, if you don’t mind, you could also share your age, birthday, height, three measurements, chest…”
Watching the girl’s expression carefully as he spoke, Xiao Yufan was relieved to see only a light blush rise on her face—she clearly wasn’t angry.
“My name is Qin Menglu. As for my age, I’m 23. As for the other things, I won’t tell you, you big pervert!”
“Qin Menglu, huh? A pretty nice name, though a bit of a shame…”
“A shame? What do you mean?”
Qin Menglu tilted her head slightly, her expression curious. Somehow, she didn’t feel any aversion toward this man in front of her—quite the opposite, she actually felt a bit of affection, a feeling that made her face flush even more.
“A shame that such a beauty refuses to tell me her three measurements. Sigh…”
Xiao Yufan exaggeratedly slapped his forehead, making Qin Menglu giggle softly.
“Then what about you? You haven’t told me your name yet. After all, I told you mine—we should be polite to each other!”
After a brief pause, Qin Menglu asked. This man, who was both humorous and slightly cheeky, had already sparked her curiosity…
“How about this—I tell you my name, and you tell me one of your three measurements. Deal?”
Xiao Yufan’s lips curled into a smirk as his eyes swept over her slim, attractive figure before he spoke casually.
“Okay…” Qin Menglu nodded softly. The barely audible sound was so delicate, yet how could it escape Xiao Yufan’s sharp perception?
“My name is Xiao Yufan. I’m 25 years old, 180 cm tall, and my three measurements…”
Xiao Yufan almost spilled everything in one breath. The people around him looked at him with disdain, except for Qin Menglu, who kept giggling behind her hand.
“Cough… Well then, now it’s your turn to tell me, beautiful lady’s three measurements!”
Clearing his throat, he felt a bit dry after talking so much, but the thought of a beautiful girl telling him her measurements made him inexplicably excited.
“I… my waist is 1.8 chi… As for the others, you can just imagine them yourself!” Qin Menglu shyly shifted her body slightly, her voice audible only to Xiao Yufan.
