Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 728: Chapter 728: An Unexpected Encounter on the Way_1

At 5:30 in the early morning, Bai Xiaosheng got out of bed, yawning and washing up.

If it weren’t for catching the train, he wouldn’t have gotten up so early.

The breakfast ordered online was delivered punctually at six o’clock. After breakfast and getting everything packed, Feng arrived too.

Bai Xiaosheng’s luggage was actually quite simple, just a small and compact rolling suitcase. Inside, aside from a change of clothes and some sundries, there was also the gift for Master Song Kai.

The gift was not expensive but very thoughtful.

Two boxes of Go pieces: the white pieces were finely crafted from natural seashells and the black were polished from a type of black stone, glossy as jade. Judged purely on value, they were worth just over two thousand yuan, but to those who truly understood and cherished such things, they were rare treasures.

Besides that, there was also a scroll that was a foot wide. It contained the Classic of Poetry transcribed by an unknown calligrapher with good penmanship, but as it was unsigned, its value wasn’t particularly high.

Feng helped Bai Xiaosheng with his luggage as they went downstairs and drove to the high-speed train station.

Once there, Bai Xiaosheng declined Feng’s offer to accompany him further and asked him to go back first.

Feng knew Bai Xiaosheng’s temperament and didn’t insist, so he promptly turned back.

Security check, entering the station, waiting, ticket check, boarding. The process was uneventful.

Bai Xiaosheng had booked the same business class as always, spacious and comfortable, with three seats in a row and his seat being one of the two that were together, by the window.

Bai Xiaosheng found his seat, stowed his luggage, and prepared to lie down for a nap.

The guy in the seat next to him seemed to have the same idea and had adjusted his seat in no time, put on his headphones, and contentedly lay down. He closed his eyes, placing both hands on his belly, still holding two round exercise balls of some material, squeezing and rotating them. In less than two minutes, he was still, and soon after, the soft sound of snoring could be heard.

Just as Bai Xiaosheng adjusted his seat, he saw this scene and couldn’t help but smile.

It seemed this guy was really tired.

Being able to eat and sleep well is a blessing; he’s indeed a fortunate person.

Bai Xiaosheng lay down, covered himself with his coat, and before he could close his eyes, he heard someone humming a tune as they passed in the outer aisle, the voice immensely melodious.

Bai Xiaosheng deliberately took a look but was taken aback.

The girl humming and passing by was a little lolita, wearing a familiar-looking outfit, swinging a ”Hanlinxuan” shopping bag.

Wasn’t that the lolita he encountered yesterday?

Bai Xiaosheng was instantly startled.

Utterly unreasonable, very combative, with a severe tendency towards violence!

Unapproachable!

Quickly, Bai Xiaosheng pulled up his clothes to cover most of his face.

Fortunately, the little girl didn’t glance sideways and just hopped on by.

”Damn it, how come this little girl is on this train too?” Bai Xiaosheng wondered with astonishment.

That was outrageous enough, but what was even more worrying was that she was seated just in the row ahead, across the aisle, on the single window seat.

Right in front of Bai Xiaosheng’s diagonal line of sight!

If it weren’t for Bai Xiaosheng’s seat being on the inside, she would have seen him with just a turn of her head!

”I can’t let her notice me— who knows if there’ll be trouble. As a grown man, if I start an incident with a little girl on the train, I might end up being detained by the train police as a pervert,” Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly turned his face toward the outside of the window, doing his best to minimize the chance of exposure.

In his uneasiness, the high-speed train started moving.

After worrying for some time and seeing nothing amiss, Bai Xiaosheng gradually relaxed. Furthermore, he was not used to waking up so early, and soon he fell asleep.

This sleep was exceptionally sweet, and by the time Bai Xiaosheng woke up, it was already 10:30 in the morning.

His neighboring seat was already set up with a little tray table, eating something.

Bai Xiaosheng had also brought some fruits and snacks with him, which were right at his feet, an easy reach away.

He deliberately stood up and glanced at the lolita in front of him. The little girl was rocking her head while wearing a pair of over-ear headphones, apparently listening to music.

Bai Xiaosheng then relaxed, set up the small table, and took out some food and drinks to enjoy.

”What’s gotten into me? I was supposed to have a pleasant trip, but now I’m acting like a thief. This isn’t like me at all,” Bai Xiaosheng lamented.

However, the other party was special. If it were a man, or even an adult, Bai Xiaosheng could have faced them sternly, but this lolita left him feeling helpless.

”Forget it, there are just over two hours left until we arrive. I’ll just bear with it,” Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

After eating, he saw the guy next to him lie down again, squeezing a stress ball—only squeezing it a couple of times before the snoring resumed.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but admire him—such talent!

This seemed like a good method!

Bai Xiaosheng immediately followed this gentleman’s example and lay down again.

At this moment, he wasn’t sleepy, so he covered half his face with his clothes, took out his phone, and looked for someone to chat with.

Shang Wanwan, Yang Qian’er, and Zhao Xiaoying from the film crew, Lin Weiwei who was on set, Wei Moran who flitted around the south of the Yangtze, all these women usually had one or two who would idle chat with him.

At the moment, Bai Xiaosheng tried to bother them, but for some reason, they were all busy today.

Bai Xiaosheng had no choice but to give up, browsed through the news for a while, felt tired, and fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, it was half past twelve, and they were almost at the station.

Bai Xiaosheng stretched, folded up his seat, and noticed that the brother next to him was still deep in sleep.

The little lolita wasn’t in her seat.

Bai Xiaosheng tiptoed to get his luggage down, packed up his things, and prepared to leave quietly without making a sound.

Just as he got ready, he saw the little lolita bouncing back from the dining car. Bai Xiaosheng quickly hid himself.

The little lolita still didn’t see him and was swinging a handbag as she headed straight for her seat.

Bai Xiaosheng suddenly noticed a short man following closely behind her.

The man had sneaky eyes that followed the handbag in the little girl’s hand.

She had gone to the dining car to eat; it seemed she had shown off her wealth and attracted a thief!

Bai Xiaosheng understood at once.

Through the gap between the seats, Bai Xiaosheng saw the little lolita reaching up to the luggage rack to get something. The man behind her dilly-dallied, his hand already reaching for her pocket.

The passengers in the neighboring seats either didn’t see or didn’t utter a word.

Bai Xiaosheng thought about calling out, but then he remembered the incident in the alley the day before and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

If he spoke up, not only would the thief not get away, but neither would he.

Bai Xiaosheng stretched out his hand, took one of the stress balls the man in the next seat was holding, and flicked it with a snap of his fingers.

It hit the little lolita in the back.

”Ouch!” the little lolita screamed in pain, becoming alert at once. She turned back to see a short and sleazy man staring at her in shock, one hand still reaching towards her pocket.

”You pervert! Are you asking for death?” the little lolita gritted her teeth in anger.

What followed was an extremely violent scene.

The man stood no chance and was knocked to the ground. After a flurry of punches and kicks from the little lolita, all that was left was him holding his head and wailing.

The passengers all gathered around, even Bai Xiaosheng’s neighbor was awakened and stretched his neck curiously to watch the commotion, completely unaware that something was missing from his hand.

The train had just arrived at the station.

Bai Xiaosheng took his luggage and left quietly.
