Ye Xuan prepares to depart for the Northwest, but Ye Xiaoying reveals she has been waiting for him all night at the train station. Despite Ye Xuan's concerns about the danger, Ye Xiaoying insists on accompanying him. After Ye Xuan purchases his ticket, Ye Xiaoying secures a seat next to his, determined to go with him.

There was only one train from the East Sea to the Northwest today at noon.

It was still morning, so Ye Xuan and Ye Xiaoying could only sit idly in the waiting room.

The two sat at opposite ends of the waiting room, far apart, neither taking the initiative to get close to the other, as if they didn’t know each other.

Yet, both were silently paying attention to each other.

Although, both felt that the reasons for their attention were different.

Finally.

With the passage of time, the train’s heavy and loud whistle echoed from the tracks outside the waiting room, causing many figures in the waiting room to stir restlessly.

They checked the tickets and passed through.

Before long, Ye Xuan and Ye Xiaoying were seated in the train, side by side.

In today’s era, trains have gradually been phased out. Only in remote areas where high-speed trains have not been introduced, do people still need to take trains to reach their destinations.

As a result, train passengers were sparse, and the overall environmental conditions increasingly deteriorated. Due to poor cleaning, a strange smell permeated the entire compartment, making it quite uncomfortable.

Ye Xuan was indifferent, having experienced much harsher environments.

Ye Xiaoying, on the other hand, was different.

Although her life was equally tumultuous, her experiences were far less rich than Ye Xuan’s. Being slightly germophobic, she frowned at the smell in the compartment.

Ye Xuan glanced at Ye Xiaoying and couldn’t help but mockingly laugh: "From here to the Northwest will take at least two days and nights. The train is routinely delayed, maybe even three days and nights. If you can’t take it, get off the train now before it starts, to avoid suffering all the way."

Ye Xuan naturally hoped that Ye Xiaoying wouldn’t follow him to the Northwest.

Ye Xiaoying raised an eyebrow at his comment, turned to glance at Ye Xuan, and curled her lips: "Do I know you well?"

Ye Xuan: "..."

Fine, no need to blabber on.

The two fell silent.

The train started, heading towards the Northwest.

Both remained silent.

Like two complete strangers, neither looked at the other, nor did they speak a word.

In the waiting room, they were far apart but had hearts in tune.

Now, sitting closely together, their minds were not in sync. Neither knew what the other was thinking.

This was the strange state between Ye Xuan and Ye Xiaoying—far apart, and they understood; close together, and their hearts were chaotic.

...

The long road ahead, accompanied by a beautiful woman.

In such circumstances, Ye Xuan should have felt at ease. Yet, in reality, he was uneasy and distressed throughout the journey.

Why?

Ye Xuan didn’t want Ye Xiaoying to follow him; that’s one reason.

The more crucial reason... Ye Xiaoying was making Ye Xuan restless.

Good grief...

Ye Xiaoying, can you not learn Liu Ying’s indecency? Do you know your collar button is not fastened correctly?

A sin committed.

Ye Xuan wanted to remind Ye Xiaoying, but the words got stuck in his throat.

Because he realized, Ye Xiaoying’s button was undone subtly—only from his angle could he see a captivating glimpse, while from other passengers’ angles nearby, nothing was visible.

What the heck is this?

Deliberate?

"She must be doing this on purpose!" Ye Xuan shouted in his mind, feeling uneasy.

Why would Ye Xiaoying deliberately do this?

It must be a simple attempt to make him uncomfortable, or could it be because she loves him and uses his favorite allure to please him, to seduce him?

Ye Xuan silently recited the Ice Heart Technique, not wanting to look, yet his eyes refused to obey.

So he simply closed them.

However, various scenes kept emerging in his mind, including several moments from when he treated Ye Xiaoying’s illness.

Ye Xuan tugged at the corner of his mouth, feeling hopeless.

A sinful act!

Meanwhile, Ye Xiaoying sensed Ye Xuan’s subtle agitation, and her lips curled with an unnoticeable, eerie yet sincere smile.

Yes, she was doing it deliberately.

Unlike what Ye Xuan thought, she did not intend to tease Ye Xuan lightly but thought that this long journey might be an opportunity for her.

It’s said that when a man likes a woman, it’s always initially due to attraction.

Simply put, if a woman wants a man to fall for her, she must first try to seduce him... so Ye Xiaoying did just that.

Anyway, she had long ceased holding back in front of Ye Xuan. If she didn’t let him enjoy the benefit, no other man would.

"If I can indeed make him feel something for me, perhaps soon, love could still blossom between us?" Ye Xiaoying hoped, and her heart ignited with hope.

Because Ye Xuan’s behavior told her that, in front of him, she was still quite charming.

Just when Ye Xuan was struggling intensely.

A young intelligent man, approximately thirty, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, stood up from a nearby seat and walked over.

He stopped beside Ye Xuan, and greeted with a smile, "Brother, you seem unwell?"

Ye Xuan opened his eyes, glanced at the glasses man, and smiled while shaking his head: "No, thanks for your concern."

"Oh, then maybe it’s the seat that discomforts you?" The glasses man adjusted his glasses slightly, during which his gaze subtly flickered to Ye Xiaoying.

Ye Xuan immediately saw that the glasses man was captivated by Ye Xiaoying’s beauty.

Thus, Ye Xuan became interested: "Yes, yes, how did you know?"

"Haha, I’ve been observing you for a while!" The glasses man chuckled twice and then openly turned to Ye Xiaoying and asked, "Is this lady your girlfriend?"

Ye Xuan: "No."

The glasses man rejoiced: "Oh great, since your seat is uncomfortable, care to swap with me?"

"Swap seats?" Ye Xuan was like a pardon received: "Sure, I’d love that!"

Ye Xiaoying: "..."

At this moment, she wanted to tear Ye Xuan apart.

This guy, can mere allure and beauty captivate him? No, it can’t!

Not only can’t it, but it will directly scare him away; even knowing this creepy glasses man has ill intentions, he chooses to flee resolutely!

If he cared even a little bit about her, he wouldn’t be so indifferent about other men approaching her, right?

Ye Xiaoying was very disappointed, and very angry.

Yet Ye Xuan was already getting up to offer the seat to the scholarly-looking scoundrel with glasses.

Nowadays, Ye Xiaoying was a top-notch expert, so Ye Xuan shouldn’t worry about her being taken advantage of, right? Rather this glasses man was asking for trouble on his own; it was also good to let him refresh for a while.

Far away, the scent isn’t strong, and the heart won’t be chaotic, right?

This was a win-win deal, and the glasses man was also very pleased.

But just as the glasses man was about to sit down.

Ye Xiaoying raised her delicate brows, her eyes suddenly like spears glaring at the glasses man: "Get lost!"

One cold word, filled with endless fury.

At this moment, the glasses man even felt suffocated, as if his life was no longer his own!
