Chapter 323 The train finally arrived at the station

The other passengers in the carriage couldn't help but swallow hard after smelling the aroma.

However, those who could afford sleeper tickets naturally wouldn't be short of a meal, so no one even considered coming up to beg for some food.

"Little sister, have you eaten?" Shen Xiaochuan asked, his mouth full of food, his words muffled.

"I'm full," Shen Xiaoxiao replied simply. Before she finished speaking, she stood up and walked straight towards the bathroom.

When she pushed open the bathroom door, a nauseating stench hit her like a tidal wave, and Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but frown.

She looked closely and saw that the bathroom floor was wet, with water stains everywhere, and tissues were scattered all over the place, making it look very dirty and messy.

She carefully stepped onto a relatively clean spot, quickly finished her personal business, and then opened the car door with a sigh of relief, rushing out as if fleeing a battlefield.

As soon as she stepped outside, she took a deep breath, trying to completely expel the unpleasant smell from her body.

Back in the carriage, Shen Xiaoxiao said to Shen Xiaochuan, "Brother, I'm going to rest for a while. Call me if you need anything."

After saying that, she nimbly climbed onto her bed, lay down comfortably, relaxed her tense body, and quickly fell asleep.

For the rest of the journey, the brother and sister took turns resting in perfect harmony.

While one person rests, the other person is responsible for keeping an eye on the surroundings.

And so, they arrived at their destination safely.

At the station, Dai Xingyun had already arrived and was anxiously waiting for the train to arrive.

When he heard the announcement that the train had arrived at the station, he immediately looked around excitedly, afraid of missing Shen Xiaoxiao's figure.

However, as time passed and fewer and fewer passengers exited the station, Dai Xingyun's mood gradually became anxious.

Just when he was almost convinced that he had waited in vain and that Shen Xiaoxiao hadn't taken the train, Shen Xiaoxiao and Shen Xiaochuan finally walked slowly out of the station.

Seeing this, Dai Xingyun felt a surge of joy. He immediately strode forward, took the luggage from Shen Xiaoxiao's hands, and asked with a smile, "Are you tired? Are you hungry?"

At this moment, Dai Xingyun seemed to only have eyes for Shen Xiaoxiao, completely ignoring Shen Xiaochuan standing to the side.

Shen Xiaochuan's face grew increasingly dark as he watched the man fawning over his younger sister.

"Dai Xingyun, let go of my hand!" Shen Xiaochuan said with a stern face.

Dai Xingyun then shifted her attention slightly from the luggage in her hands, looked at Shen Xiaochuan, and smiled faintly: "Xiaochuan, long time no see!"

His tone was relaxed and casual, as if he hadn't sensed Shen Xiaochuan's hostility at all.

After saying that, Dai Xingyun took Shen Xiaochuan's luggage and waved to the brother and sister, signaling them to follow him.

Shen Xiaochuan glared at him angrily, followed him, and muttered, "Pretentious."

Dai Xingyun smiled when he heard Shen Xiaochuan's words, but said nothing.

Dai Xingyun led Shen Xiaochuan and Shen Xiaoxiao to the Manfulou Restaurant.

As soon as you enter, a rich aroma of roast duck wafts through the air.

"The roast duck at this restaurant is absolutely amazing, you guys have to try it later," Dai Xingyun enthusiastically introduced. "Xiao Chuan, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

When Dai Xingyun asked him questions, Shen Xiaochuan acted as if he hadn't heard him and didn't even give him a glance.

Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. She had never seen her brother act so awkwardly before.

“No, my brother likes sweets,” Shen Xiaoxiao quickly answered for her brother.

Shen Xiaochuan glared at Shen Xiaoxiao, "Girls are outgoing."

Upon hearing this, Dai Xingyun smiled slightly and then began to list the dishes: "Alright, then let's have a sweet and sour pork ribs, a sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and a osmanthus lotus root. Of course, roast duck is a must, along with a stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, and finally, a bone broth. Hmm... is there anything else you'd like to eat?"

After Dai Xingyun finished announcing the names of the dishes, his gaze naturally fell on Shen Xiaoxiao, his eyes revealing a hint of tenderness and expectation.

Feeling a little uncomfortable under his gaze, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head and said, "This is already enough. We definitely can't finish it, so there's no need to order anything else."

"It's okay, you can take the leftovers home," Dai Xingyun replied with a nonchalant smile.

“Really, no need,” Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile, handing the menu to the waiter. “Just these.”

The waiter politely took the menu, smiled, and replied, "Okay, please wait a moment, we will serve you your food as soon as possible." After saying that, the waiter turned and left.

"The waiters here are really polite," Shen Xiaochuan couldn't help but exclaim. "The service is excellent."

Dai Xingyun nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is a privately run restaurant, so the competition is quite fierce, and they pay great attention to the quality of the food and the level of service."

“Yes, that’s true,” Shen Xiaoxiao agreed. “More and more restaurants will open in the future, and the competition will become more and more intense. No one will go to restaurants with the attitude of staff in state-run restaurants anymore; they will be eliminated.”

Dai Xingyun nodded in agreement. "Your area will definitely see many more restaurants like this next year. After all, this is the capital city, and its development is much faster than other places."

Suddenly remembering something, he looked at Shen Xiaoxiao with a puzzled expression and asked, "By the way, Xiaoxiao, why did you get off the bus halfway? Did something happen?"

Shen Xiaoxiao's expression changed slightly, and she seemed to hesitate. She looked at Shen Xiaochuan and only told him the truth after he nodded.

She took a deep breath and slowly said, "Actually, my brother and I were targeted as soon as we boarded the train. They drugged us and then took us off the train at a small station."

Dai Xingyun's expression instantly turned serious, and he asked anxiously, "How are you? Are you injured?"

Shen Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, we're fine. It's just that my brother's hand is a little injured, but I've already put some medicine on it, and it should be better in a few days."

Shen Xiaoxiao continued, "We were actually awake the whole time, wanting to wipe them all out, but we had no choice but to go back to the base with them." Shen Xiaoxiao recounted everything that had happened to them.

"You mean... someone got away, and you're probably being watched?" Dai Xingyun said with a grave expression.

"It's highly likely that the police station also has accomplices. The station chief also said that their protection network is very powerful, and he will contact the military to see if they can be wiped out in one fell swoop."
