Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1021: Chapter 1022: Reluctance

Chiang Xiao gazed out the train window at him and suddenly felt how humanizing it was to be able to accompany someone onto the train at such a time, which soon would require a ticket to even enter the station.

She waved out the window, suddenly noticing that Meng Xinian’s eyes seemed to be red?

Huh?

Chiang Xiao thought she must be seeing things, so she pressed her face against the window to get a clearer view, but Meng Xinian abruptly turned away.

Staring at the back of his head, Chiang Xiao’s heart instantly softened and then soured.

Tyrant Meng had come to see her off, and he had reddened eyes.

That Tyrant Meng had actually reddened his eyes over a separation of merely one month...

Chiang Xiao couldn’t hold back any longer, she inhaled sharply, breathed onto the window to fog it up, and then drew a heart shape with her finger.

Meng Xinian couldn’t bear to leave her out of his sight either, just one more glance would always be good.

So, suppressing the sour feeling in her heart, she immediately turned back just in time to see another heart shape behind the first, drawn by Chiang Xiao with her finger, as she flashed him a big smile.

Meng Xinian’s heart felt as if it had been struck.

Unable to control himself, he stepped forward, seeing Chiang Xiao mouth a phrase to him.

”Wait for my return.”

The train slowly started to move, and Meng Xinian, with long strides, walked alongside the train for a bit, watching as Chiang Xiao incessantly waved at him from the train.

It felt as though his heart had flown away with her.

For the first time, he experienced the taste of a farewell at the station.

So sour, so reluctant.

Chiang Xiao rested her forehead against the window; outside, she could no longer see Meng Xinian and couldn’t help but sigh. So this was what romance felt like; she had started to miss him immediately after they had parted.

In her previous life, she had never felt this way about Chen Liting; she often felt relieved when they were apart.

The train arrived in Capital City the next morning.

Chen Yin was there to pick her up.

Before she came, Meng Xinian had also called Chen Yin, entrusting Chiang Xiao’s next month to him.

Of course, it wasn’t to accompany Chiang Xiao all the time, but to be on call, ready to help with anything. Armed with these instructions, how could Chen Yin dare to be late when picking up Chiang Xiao?

”Chiang Xiao, tired? Come on, let’s go have breakfast!” Chen Yin naturally reached out, taking the two bags from her hands.

He had thought they would be light, but as he took them, his hand sank.

”Were you carrying something this heavy?” Chen Yin exclaimed.

When he had seen Chiang Xiao carrying them, she didn’t seem to be struggling at all!

She must be quite strong.

Chiang Xiao nodded, ”I also brought gifts for you and Auntie.”

Chen Yin immediately laughed, ”Then I certainly won’t be polite. Whatever you bring is definitely good stuff.”

He knew a bit about Chiang Xiao’s background.

Youqingwei’s pastries, her homemade flower tea, jerked meat, all were unsurpassed by any market product. Receiving such a gift was definitely a delight.

Just as Meng Xinian was unhesitant when asking for his help, Chen Yin was just as unreserved in accepting Chiang Xiao’s gifts.

Chiang Xiao smiled.

Chen Yin drove her to a familiar breakfast spot, and after they sat down, Chiang Xiao felt like someone was constantly watching her.

Turning her head, she saw a couple, about fifty, and the woman was staring at her.

”Chen Yin, do you know them?”

Chen Yin looked over, then paused a moment before turning back and leaning closer, lowering his voice, ”I don’t know whether it’s your good or bad luck, but those two are Duan Qingqing’s older brother and sister-in-law.”
