Chapter 65: Prelude to an Embarrassing Countryside Trip

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The train gradually left the platform. The worry due to Chu Liyuan was instantly replaced by excitement.

Jian Dan was filled with anticipation for the unknown journey…

A foodie like Jian Dan needed all kinds of snacks when she went on trips!

There was beef jerky, shredded squid, potato chips, prawn crackers, dried fruits, and nuts. The most exaggerated items were the self heating instant meals that Jian Dan brought!

She remembered that the last time she went to Dalian with Chu Liyuan, there were only instant noodles and bento boxes on the train. They were not delicious at all, so…

“Wow! This smells great!”

Grandpa kept making exaggerated actions of inhaling the fragrance that wafted in the air deeply.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s tuck in!”

The two of them tucked in without further ado. In the blink of an eye, they cleaned the disposable bowls.

Those who had never eaten a self heating instant meal on the train would never understand what kind of experience it was.

“Little Jian, why are the snacks you bought so delicious?”

Chu Zhiyuan leaned against the bed and merrily chomped on the snacks Jian Dan brought.

“Of course. Otherwise, how can I be considered a qualified foodie?”

It was rather interesting to travel with Grandpa. Grandpa’s personality was very adorable. He was very much like the Old Urchin in The Condor Heroes.

It was normal for trains to stop at stations. Usually, it would take a few minutes. However—for some reason—the train stopped at this station for almost 20 minutes without any signs of moving.

“Why isn’t the train moving yet?”

A train attendant passed by. Jian Dan asked, “Hello, when will the train leave?”

“This is the main station. It’ll stop here for one hour and 20 minutes.”

“That long?… Okay, thank you!”

Why did it have to stop here for so long?

“Little Jian, since there’s still an hour left, let’s get out and walk around the train station!”

It was really boring to stay on the train for an entire hour! It did not seem like a big deal if they walked around for 30 minutes.

“Okay!”

They realized that there were many things for sale near the station. The two of them shopped merrily and even bought some local snacks!

Just as the two of them were about to return to the train, some folks were playing chess by the roadside.

It immediately captured Grandpa’s attention… He meandered through the crowd and squatted down to watch.

No way! Grandpa, we don’t have the time to watch people playing chess here!

Seeing that time was almost up, Jian Dan squeezed through the crowd. “Grandpa, we are running out of time.”

“There’s still time. How can you make this move? You should make this move here!”

Grandpa, you’re such a lousy chess player, yet you’re still giving advice to others?Jian Dan was really speechless!

“Grandpa, it’s really getting late.”

With each passing minute, Jian Dan was like a cat on a hot tin roof. But Grandpa did not look anxious at all. He was focused on the chess game before him.

Helpless, Jian Dan could only end this game of chess as soon as possible.

Although it was rude to be a backseat chess player when watching a chess game, Jian Dan couldn’t care less at this moment.

This game of chess finally ended with Jian Dan’s intervention. Jian Dan immediately pulled Grandpa and ran towards the train station…

When they reached the platform, they only saw the back of the train… The train left without any hesitation right before their eyes.

Jian Dan stared after the departing train and stood rooted to the ground.

“It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine! These are all small problems.”

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Jian Dan and comforted her.

“Grandpa, our luggage is all on the train.”

When she disembarked the train, she only took her cell phone and wallet. She left the rest on the train.

“Haven’t you heard before that everything is fine as long as you have your wallet?!”

Spoken like someone with deep pockets.

Alright! No use crying over spilt milk. It was better to accept reality

Anyway, didn’t Grandpa say it? “Everything is fine as long as you have your wallet’. As long as she clung to Grandpa, she would not have to worry about anything on the trip.

A lot of images had already formed in Jian Dan’s mind…

“Where’s my wallet?”

What? What did Grandpa just say?

Jian Dan snapped back from her reverie and saw Grandpa rummaging through his pockets looking for something. He muttered to himself, “My wallet was in the pocket of my jacket? Why is it gone?”

Jian Dan recalled something… After the two of them finished packing up in the family residence, Grandpa took off his coat and changed into a thicker windbreaker before leaving…

Could it be…

Jian Dan’s mind could not keep up. The beautiful scenes she had just imagined were instantly gone. There was not even a buffer.

Jian Dan palmed her forehead…

“Oh! I don’t think I was wearing this windbreaker this morning.”

Grandpa, isn’t your reflex a little too slow? You only realized it now!
