Chapter 637: Chapter 629 Grew Taller Again Chapter 637: Chapter 629 Grew Taller Again “I’m leaving.” Tang Yuxin waved to Gu Ning and stepped off the train.
Outside, many people stood breathing in the fresh air.
The major station had a longer stopover, not just for the necessary train checks, but also for replenishing food and water, as the upcoming stops would be brief, only the terminal station belonged to the major station series.
Tang Yuxin found a spot to sit down, opened up the large bucket, and started gnawing on a chicken leg.
The air outside was decent, also carrying a hint of moisture as if it had been sprinkled with a little starry rain.
At this time, no matter where, the air wasn’t too bad, so breathing was a pleasure.
Meanwhile, back in the train carriage, Gu Ning had already summoned the station master.
When Gu Ning had bought the ticket, it was his special status that allowed him to purchase the entire soft sleeper compartment.
The station master was aware of this, although he didn’t know exactly who had bought the ticket.
To be honest, he had been quite anxious during the journey, and now, true to his fears, something had happened.
As soon as he entered the soft sleeper compartment, he knew the cause of the trouble, so he was truly at a loss and even more so, it gave him a headache.
“My ticket,” Gu Ning placed his ticket in front of the station master, “I just want to know, what’s the deal with these two people?”
The conductor’s hand trembled as he held the ticket.
In truth, he didn’t need to see the ticket to know.

He had been closely monitoring this soft sleeper compartment and had informed the staff in advance that the guests should not be disturbed unless necessary.
Thankfully, those who had rudely barged in earlier had left of their own accord, and it seemed the person inside didn’t mind too much, which finally let him breathe a sigh of relief.
But then, trouble arose again.
The ticket in his hand was completely valid, issued officially, from start to final destination, four tickets in total, neither one more nor one less.
“Please take out your tickets,” the station master walked in.
Honestly, his first thought was whether these young ladies had bought fake tickets.
The two women exchanged glances, confusion and nervousness apparent in their eyes.
No matter how brazen, how confrontational, or how sharp-tongued they were, they were still young, and such youth hadn’t faced the wider world, so nerves were inevitable.
However, as their hands touched the tickets in their pockets, their confidence returned.
They hadn’t made any mistakes; it was someone else who had taken their seats.
Even with the conductor there, the truth wouldn’t be denied, right?
The conductor took the two women’s tickets, and upon matching them with the records, his expression darkened as he saw the numbers on the tickets.
The hearts of the two women tightened in response.
Is there a problem with the tickets?
But that couldn’t be right, they had purchased the tickets at the official train station, not from scalpers.

Their tickets couldn’t be more legitimate.
“You’re in the wrong place,” the conductor returned the tickets to the two women.
His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an unmistakeable unfriendliness.
Youth, youth, why can’t you see clearly?
Can’t you read the big numbers written on the tickets?
“Wrong place?” One woman incredulously took her ticket, ran to the door, and on seeing the numbers there, her face reddened, burning with embarrassment.
They had indeed made a mistake, only one number off, but that number put them several carriages away from where they should be.
The two women slinked away, their belongings in tow, without apologizing, without the face to stay, and hurried off.
All they could think of was the relief that the person they had berated so fiercely earlier wasn’t there; otherwise, how utterly embarrassing that would have been.
They left dejectedly, but left a major problem for the train chief.
At a loss for words, the conductor was about to speak when Gu Ning beat him to it.
“Thank you for your trouble,” Gu Ning tipped his head slightly to the conductor, very politely.
He truly felt someone else had been inconvenienced, for he wasn’t the type to be unreasonable.
These were things no one wished for, but that inevitably happened in life.
It wasn’t anyone’s fault; it could even be called a misunderstanding.
Since it was just that, it was settled.
He didn’t like to bicker with people; Tang Yuxin had no more time.
She was satisfied as long as she had good food.
Finally, the conductor could relax, and he returned to his duties.
Of course, he would need to be more vigilant about such incidents, hoping for a safe passage to the destination.
When Tang Yuxin came back from getting some air, the two haughty women were gone, probably rolled back to their own nest.
She placed the large bucket on the table.
Just one look and Gu Ning knew she had eaten her fill.
“I saved you a chicken leg,” Tang Yuxin generously handed a chicken leg to Gu Ning, stuffing it into his hand.
Look at that, she was good to him, saving him a big piece of chicken leg.
Gu Ning wasn’t too fond of it, but as it stood, he didn’t seem to have much choice.
He needed to fill his stomach somehow.
Tang Yuxin took another chicken leg, reading and nibbling at the same time.
She felt life was not too shabby, enjoying the savory flavors, perfect.
Of course, it helped to be free from unpleasant intrusions from strangers.
It could be said that their journey was indeed not so bad.
On the way back, it should be the same, right?
Because it would take about the same time to get home by plane, which might not be as comfortable as the train.
If needed, they could just ask the dean for a few more days off; she felt a few days wouldn’t be enough.
At the very least, she’d need half a month or even a whole month.
After all, she was still sick.
Even if her illness wasn’t that serious, she needed proper care.
Ready to leave, Gu Ning picked up the luggage, having tidied the soft sleeper compartment to how it was when they arrived.
He carried large and small bags while Tang Yuxin only needed to bring herself.
Upon reaching the outside of the station, they easily found Tang Zhijun’s car.
Zhijun knew his niece was returning today, so he’d cleared his schedule, waiting all day in case the train arrived early and he missed picking her up.
“Hey, Aning, you’ve grown taller again?”
Tang Zhijun slapped Gu Ning’s shoulder, their rapport easy and familiar.
“Grown taller?” Tang Yuxin scrutinized Gu Ning for awhile, “Uncle, he’s twenty-eight already, he won’t grow anymore.
Besides, he’s so tall now.
If he grew any taller, he’d be a lamppost and might end up single forever.”
