Chapter 56 : Want to just walk away? No way.

“Comrade, these two lower bunks are yours. Can you switch?”  

“I can pay more, five dollars?”  

“And you’re a soldier, so what’s wrong with helping me?”  

“As a girl, I’m afraid I’ll fall down if I sleep on the top bunk.”  

“Is it possible?”  

Zhou Hui spoke in a hoarse voice, but not a single word was understandable.  

“No, my wife won’t agree. Comrade, please leave. Move back. Don’t get too close.”  

Xiao Yuyan’s voice was cold, and if you listened carefully, there was a hint of impatience.  

Ye Suiwan curled her lips, very satisfied with the man’s attitude.  

“Comrade, how could you do this? Shouldn’t you be serving the people?”  

“You….what unit are you from? I want to file a complaint against you.”  

Zhou Hui had no idea how many nice things she had said before reaching this point, but why was this person just ignoring her?  

“Oh, you’ve become so powerful that you even dare to steal my bed?”  

“You’re afraid of sleeping on the top bunk, but aren’t you afraid that I’m the one sleeping on the bottom bunk?”  

“You dare to complain about my man? Are you looking for trouble?”  

Ye Suiwan folded her arms and leaned against the carriage. Every word she spoke made Zhou Hui’s scalp tingle.    

“What—what man? What did you say?”  

“Are you married?”  

“Ye Suiwan, you’re actually married?”  

Zhou Hui was completely confused.  

She’s married? Then what should her cousin do with this unfaithful woman?!  

Ye Suiwan simply pushed her aside.  

“Get lost!”  

Ye Suiwan really couldn’t talk to her nicely because if she did, Zhou Hui would just keep pestering her.  

But did Zhou Hui have bad intentions? Not really. After all, everything she was thinking was written clearly on her face.  

She was just incredibly annoying. This girl was particularly annoying to her. Running into her in the compound was one thing, but now in the train car too? Was she just unlucky?  

“Ayan, she and I are from the same compound. Don’t bother with her. She didn’t bully you, did she?”  

When Ye Suiwan looked at Xiao Yuyan, her eyes were full of concern, and her voice softened a little.  

“Hmm, she didn’t bully me.”  

Xiao Yuyan really enjoyed the care of his wife.  

“Ye Suiwan, you….you can’t be married! My cousin is still waiting for you!”  

What’s so good about this person?”  

Zhou Hui finally reacted and kept pressing for answers, not noticing Ye Suiwan’s increasingly dark expression.  

At this point, many people had gathered in the aisle. After all, juicy gossip was the perfect way to pass time on a long train ride. Who wouldn’t want to listen?  

“Zhou Hui, try saying one more word. Do you only remember eating but not the beatings?”  

Ye Suiwan turned around, a warning look in her eyes, clenching her fists at the right moment.  

“I—I… but my cousin is waiting for you.”  

Zhou Hui was afraid but still stubborn.  

“Oh, so just because your cousin is waiting for me, I have to marry him?”  

“First, we’re not dating. Second, we’re not engaged. Third, we’re not even regular friends. What? Are forced marriages allowed these days?”  

Ye Suiwan had to make things clear. She didn’t care about anyone else, but she could feel the cold aura coming from the man behind her.  

“But—but…” My cousin likes you!  

Zhou Hui didn’t dare say anything more. With so many people around, even she realized she had been too impulsive.  

“I—I don’t want to say anything anymore, okay?”  

After saying that, she prepared to leave.  

“Stop! Apologize!”  

“Compensate me for my damaged reputation, five dollars. Or I’ll tell your grandfather when we get back.”  

If the problem could be solved by reporting it to the elders, Ye Suiwan would definitely not trouble herself. She was different from others, she saw nothing wrong with letting the parents handle it.  

No matter how parents educate their children, outsiders consider it normal, but she can’t do that. If she beats someone too badly, it would be troublesome if she got blackmailed.  

“And tell everyone, is what I just said true? Is there any relationship between me and your cousin?”  

Want to just walk away? No way.  

Zhou Hui really didn’t dare to leave.  

Ye Suiwan was right. How could she only remember to eat but not the beatings?  

Ye Suiwan never hit the girls in the compound, but she would complain, and the parents would believe her.  

No one could avoid getting beaten after she complained of course, that was when they were kids.  

But this childhood trauma still had power over her now.  

“I’m sorry, you’re right. It was indeed just my cousin’s wishful thinking. I was just too excited and couldn’t accept it all at once.”  

“And here’s the compensation for you!”  

As she spoke, Zhou Hui took out five dollars and stuffed it into Ye Suiwan’s arms.  

“Can I go now?”  

Zhou Hui’s eyes were red.  

“Go on.”  

Ye Suiwan waved her hand. After she left, she turned and smiled at the onlookers who were still watching the drama unfold.  

“I’ve made a fool of myself in front of everyone. Let’s all move along now!”  

That smile dazzled everyone’s eyes.  

They suddenly seemed to understand why that girl’s cousin liked her.  

Such a beautiful girl, anyone who saw her would be mesmerized.  

Ye Suiwan had no idea they were thinking so much. Now, she had another headache—  

Coaxing a man.  

“Ayan, the guy Zhou Hui just mentioned, I really have nothing to do with him. He’s not even from our compound, and I’ve only met him a few times. But he did have feelings for me. Back then, I didn’t understand love, so of course, I wouldn’t agree. I rejected him directly. Really, you believe me, right?”  

Ye Suiwan explained nervously, looking very serious.  

She was really afraid that Xiao Yuyan would misunderstand.  

It was this man who made her understand love in her previous life, how could she like someone else?  

Yes, Zhou Hui’s cousin was Lin Jiahao, the son of the Beijing Municipal Party Secretary. He was the same age as her second brother, and they were good friends.  

In her past life, when the Ye family was in trouble, he helped a lot, so she was grateful to him.  

And after she rejected him, he never brought it up again. As for Zhou Hui, she was just being stubborn.  

Xiao Yuyan was indeed a little sad, but he didn’t blame Ye Suiwan. He believed her.  

“Wife, I believe you. I won’t listen to what others say, I only listen to you.”  

Xiao Yuyan replied in the same serious tone.  

At that moment, Ye Suiwan really wanted to hug him! But the environment didn’t allow it.  

“Thank you, Ayan. I will only like you.” In my past life and this one, there is only you.  

“Here, have some water. I added a bit of sugar.”  

The water from the space tasted sweet. After Ye Suiwan said that, Xiao Yuyan didn’t think too much about it.  

“Okay!”  

Xiao Yuyan accepted it without hesitation.  

“By the way, Ayan, can you help Zhou Hui get a lower bunk?”  

“Use these five dollars. She’s not a bad person, just a little… stupid. When she was a child, she got beaten by her parents for annoying me. I didn’t expect her to grow up without getting any smarter.”  

“She’s my childhood friend.” She’s much better than Sun Qianqian.  

“Alright, I’ll go find someone.”  

Xiao Yuyan had no objections to Ye Suiwan’s decision. A lot of people would be willing to exchange for five dollars.  

He just didn’t understand why she had targeted him at the beginning.  

“Alright, once you find someone, I’ll bring Zhou Hui over.”  

After giving her instructions, Ye Suiwan kissed Xiao Yuyan on the cheek. Since more passengers would be boarding at the next stop, she might not have another chance later.
