When embarrassment swept through Pei Yujing's heart, wildly plucking at her fragile heartstrings until she could barely bear it, the station announcement finally sounded.
"Passengers, the G9XX Train from Huaicheng to Linzhou will depart at 20:02, with stops along the way..."
Pei Yujing's entire body relaxed, as if a great burden had been lifted. She secretly rejoiced, Finally, it's over. Once we get on the train, we won't run into each other anymore.
Breaking the silence, Pei Yujing hurriedly reminded him, "Jiang Ning, it's time to check tickets."
Jiang Ning nodded. "Mm, go ahead."
As if she had received an imperial decree, Pei Yujing fled into the crowd.
Little did she know, Jiang Ning curled his lips into a smile. As a cautious cultivator, he had naturally already used his Spiritual Sense to inspect the ticket information in Pei Yujing's pocket.
The surprise Shao Shuangshuang had arranged for Jiang Ning was Pei Yujing.
Nice. So she's my gift tonight, huh?
Thinking of that charming older sister who had devoted herself tirelessly to him at Evergreen Liquid Company, Jiang Ning could not help feeling a little sentimental. She really did understand him quite well.
Unlike Pei Yujing, who had hurriedly joined the line, Jiang Ning waited until over half the queue had passed before leisurely stepping into the crowd.
After checking his ticket again, Jiang Ning followed the crowd toward the platform where his train was waiting. The station was packed tonight. To get from the elevated level down to the platform, passengers had to take the stairs. Many people crowded around the elevators and escalators, but Jiang Ning was traveling light. Avoiding the packed crowd, he chose the stairs and went alone.
The high-speed train had yet to arrive, and many passengers were waiting on the platform by the tracks.
