Xie Tiantian was tucked in the innermost spot, sleeping soundly while Mo Xiaoyu protected her from falling off, making sure she felt as comfortable as possible despite the cramped space. Tang Yue had a hard time sleeping in unfamiliar beds, no matter where she was her sleep wasn't restful, but knowing that Meng Siyu was in the lower bunk put her more at ease. She rolled over to her side, looking out the window at the retreating scenery, feeling almost like she was dreaming. She was already Mrs. Mo. No, Mrs. Meng. Tang Yue peeked her head out to look at Meng Siyu in the lower bunk. Meng Siyu immediately stood up, leaning forward and whispered, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?" "No, just can't sleep," Tang Yue whispered back. Everyone else was settling down to sleep and she didn't want to wake them. "You better go to sleep." "Alright." Meng Siyu, seeing that she wasn't uncomfortable, then offered, "Or, shall I take you for a walk outside?" "No need, lying down feels even better." Tang Yue playfully smiled and said, "Don't worry, if anything comes up, I'll call you." "Alright." Meng Siyu took out a book and handed it to her. "Here, use this to fan yourself, it might make you feel more comfortable." Tang Yue took the book, somewhat surprised. It was a fashion magazine she subscribed to on normal days. Unexpectedly, Meng Siyu had brought a copy. Indeed, looking at the scenery and fanning herself eased Tang Yue into a slight drowsiness. Meng Siyu quietly got up and told Tang Yue he was going to the restroom before he left. However, he didn't return for a while, making Tang Yue worried. She noticed Mo Xiaoyu was still awake, so she asked her to watch the stuff and went after him. Tang Yue looked around, guessing Meng Siyu might have gone in some direction when she heard some noise ahead. "Thank you for helping me," a woman's voice rang out. She was standing in front of Meng Siyu, full of gratitude, almost as if she would commit herself to him in return. Meng Siyu turned to leave just as he caught a few pickpockets. While they were asleep, they tried to steal things, and the woman was one of the victims. "How can there be no need? You helped me so much; I must thank you!" The woman hurriedly said, "My name is Yao Shishi, from Sea City. What is your name? Where are you from? How can I repay you?" "No need, it was just a helping hand," Meng Siyu's voice was cold, much colder than Yao Shishi's enthusiasm, making one shiver even in the heat of Daxia. But Yao Shishi didn't mind, looking at Meng Siyu with eyes full of spring, blocking his path in the already narrow corridor, Meng Siyu couldn't simply push past her. "Tang Yue." Meng Siyu immediately spotted Tang Yue who came looking for him. Just one name, but so full of affection, Yao Shishi thought the man in front of her was always as cold as his voice, unaware that he could also be so gentle. "Husband, you were gone so long, I thought something had happened. Are you okay?" Tang Yue's voice was delicate, deliberately ignoring Yao Shishi as she took Meng Siyu's hand and looked him over. Meng Siyu's deep eyes met hers, letting her check him over while briefly explaining what had just happened, saying, "Wife, I'm sorry for making you worry." "As long as you're okay." Tang Yue raised her head, a sweet smile capturing Meng Siyu's gaze, a sight so sweet, but to Yao Shishi standing nearby, it was nothing short of shameless. They're on a train, yet standing so close, smiling so sweetly, as if not afraid of laughing their teeth out. Yao Shishi suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Tang Yue's gaze sweeping over; Tang Yue asked with a smile, "Miss, you've been staring at me, do you have any complaints about me?" "No," Yao Shishi replied without thinking, taking a deep breath and putting on what she believed to be her most beautiful smile, she said, "How could I? He is my life-saving hero, I..." Tang Yue exaggeratedly interrupted her, her face filled with shock as she turned to Meng Siyu and asked, "Was there a murder just now?" "No," Meng Siyu shook his head, following Tang Yue's lead, he said: "I just helped her keep her belongings from being stolen by a pickpocket." "That scared me to death." Tang Yue patted her chest with a relieved look, then turning to Yao Shishi said, "Miss, it's great that my husband helped you, but it wasn't a life-saving grace. If you offered yourself in gratitude, others might think you've taken a fancy to my husband." Tang Yue's voice wasn't loud, but seeing Yao Shishi's face change color, Tang Yue quickly changed her tone and said, "I'm sorry, miss, I spoke too quickly and didn't choose my words well." "You look like a very well-mannered individual, how could you possibly covet someone else's husband?" Tang Yue looked apologetically at Yao Shishi and said, "Miss, you'll forgive my careless words just now, won't you?" Yao Shishi was so taken aback by Tang Yue's words that she couldn't speak, her face turning from pale to green. She squeezed out a smile unwillingly and said, "No." Yao Shishi's gaze secretly sized up Meng Siyu, such a tall and handsome man, she had set her heart on him from the first glance, appearing as a hero to save the beauty. From the bottom of her heart, she believed that Meng Siyu was her destined prince, her unparalleled hero, but who knew, he actually had a wife. "My husband loves to play the hero, so really, a little help like that is nothing to fuss over." Tang Yue mentioned 'husband', her face filled with happiness and pride, and it was extremely upsetting for Yao Shishi to see. "Even though it wasn't life-saving, I should still express my thanks, what's your name? How can I repay you in the future?" Yao Shishi mustered her courage. Tang Yue, adeptly sidestepping the question, grabbed Meng Siyu and they headed back to their train compartment. Once back in the train compartment, Tang Yue immediately climbed back into the middle bunk, turning her back, not wanting to deal with him. What a dangerously appealing face! "Xiao Yue." Meng Siyu, feeling helpless, softly called her, but Tang Yue pretended not to hear. Meng Siyu thought for a moment, then began to write on a piece of paper, the train wasn't completely dark, a night light was keeping it slightly illuminated, he picked up a pen and swiftly wrote an apology: [Xiao Yue, I really just saved her, I didn't even touch a sliver of her clothes.] Meng Siyu held up the finished note in front of Tang Yue. Tang Yue blinked, sat up from the bed, took the pen and started to reply: [It's all because my husband is too handsome!] Tang Yue puffed her cheeks and glared at Meng Siyu. Her fuming little face looked incredibly cute. Meng Siyu: [Should I scar my face then?] Tang Yue added three exclamation marks forcefully at the end. Meng Siyu stroked his chin, fearful of disturbing others, they communicated through eye contact and written notes, he thought for a moment and said: [Wife, apart from you, other women are just like men to me, I didn't even notice whether she was round or flat.] Get full chapters from N()velFire.net
