B5SB -Chapter 136 Encountering Shen Yujie on the Train

Gu Yihan took off her shoes and leaned back on the lower bunk, yawning.

Seeing Lu Huailin still sitting on her side despite being so oblivious, she gave his firm, rounded butt a kick.

“Go sit in your own spot, or someone without eyes will think the lower bunk is empty.”

Although Lu Huailin had just been kicked by his wife, his heart melted instantly.

He leaned forward, kissed her, and then turned back to his own bunk.

At that moment, a middle-aged woman wearing patched clothes, holding a ticket, led along a child of about eleven or twelve years old and approached Lu Huailin.

“Comrade in the army, my child is still small. Could we possibly switch bunks?”

Gu Yihan, half-asleep, opened her eyes and glanced at the child next to her. Eleven or twelve? Small?

She was about to refuse when a surprised voice from the aisle interrupted her:

“Ah! Old Lu, you’re in this carriage too?”

Lu Huailin simply replied with an indifferent “Hmm.”

Shen Yujie paid no mind to Lu Huailin’s attitude.

He quickly took out his ticket, turned to the middle-aged woman, and said, “I’ll switch with you. I’m in the lower bunk, and I know this comrade.”

The woman looked embarrassed. “There are two of us.”

Shen Yujie waved it off. “No problem, there are two of us too.”

He then pushed through the crowd and returned to his own bunk area.

Without explaining to Yu Shanyue, he grabbed her arm and darted into the crowd.

Yu Shanyue stumbled, furious. If they weren’t on a train, she would have kicked Shen Yujie for sure.

Gu Yihan, watching Yu Shanyue’s darkened expression, couldn’t help laughing.

Shen Yujie happily pointed at the middle-aged woman and explained to Yu Shanyue, “We’re switching bunks with this auntie. That way, we’ll have someone to chat with along the way.”

The middle-aged woman happily took the ticket from Shen Yujie, glancing at Yu Shanyue.

Yu Shanyue noticed Shen Yujie pulling a ticket from his side bag and said coldly, “Where’s your ticket?”

The woman froze, embarrassed. “I bought a standing ticket, but the child has a sleeper ticket.”

Yu Shanyue tucked the ticket into her bag, ignoring the woman, and turned to greet Gu Yihan with a smile.

Gu Yihan quickly made space, gesturing for her to sit on the bunk.

Shen Yujie looked at Yu Shanyue sitting there, his eyes mocking.

Only then did he notice that the ticket in his hand wasn’t for a sleeper bunk.

Fuming, Shen Yujie threw the ticket at the middle-aged woman. “We’re not switching. Give me my ticket back!”

Gu Yihan was now fully awake, watching Shen Yujie with gleeful schadenfreude.

Serves him right—didn’t he leave his brain in the placenta when he was born?

The woman’s face hardened, no longer looking kindly. “How can you go back on your word? Think I’m easy to bully, huh?”

Shen Yujie shot back, “Trying to take advantage, are you? Give me the ticket, or don’t blame me for hitting an old lady.”

The woman discreetly pinched the boy beside her.

The child lunged forward, grabbing Shen Yujie’s pants, and knelt down with a thump. “Uncle, we don’t have money to buy a ticket. You’re a good person, please help us…”

Feeling his pants slipping, Shen Yujie grabbed the waistband with both hands, anxious. “Let go!”

Passengers around them also intervened. “Look at the poor child. Just switch with him.”

“Yeah, same route, and you seem well-off. That ticket money is nothing to you.”

Shen Yujie was fuming—the kid was deliberately pulling on his pants to embarrass him.

In frustration, he kicked the child’s wrist to free his pants.

The woman hurried over, clutching the child and crying out, “Someone help! He hit my child!”

“Stop yelling! The train is about to move. Everyone, return to your seats!”

The conductor interrupted her shouting.

Shen Yujie grabbed the conductor and pointed at the woman. “She took my sleeper ticket and won’t give it back!”

The conductor looked at the woman, frowning. “You again?”

The woman avoided the gaze, threw the ticket to Shen Yujie, and cursed, “You worthless thing!”

She hurriedly left with the child.

The conductor shook her head. “Next time, pay attention. Each bunk has a different price. She doesn’t want to spend extra, so she always switches on the train. People pity her with a child, so they don’t make her pay the difference.”

The conductor then busied herself, reminding everyone to watch their luggage, and moved to the next carriage.

Shen Yujie picked up the ticket from the floor, glaring at the two passengers who had defended the woman.

“You’re well-off. Why didn’t you give up your seats?”

“Move aside.”

A dark-skinned man pushed Shen Yujie aside as he was talking.

He placed a large bag on the upper bunk, then helped the remaining two women and a man with their luggage.

Shen Yujie stumbled, grumbling, and plopped down on Lu Huailin’s bunk, watching the two men and two women coming and going.

He muttered, “That old woman isn’t even from this carriage, is she?”

Gu Yihan thought the drama was entertaining. As long as Shen Yujie was unhappy, she was happy.

She sneered, “Didn’t you see her target from the start was the one in uniform?”

Yu Shanyue snorted coldly. “He went looking to be fooled and wants to drag others into it too.”

Shen Yujie felt uncomfortable hearing Gu Yihan’s voice, shooting her a dark glance.

He thought of how Gu Yihan had beaten Qiao Shuhui so badly that she couldn’t show her face.

Unable to control himself, he taunted, “Someone who can hit a pregnant woman isn’t a good person either.”

Lu Huailin and Yu Shanyue looked at him, utterly confused by his nonsensical words.

Gu Yihan, however, understood and smirked coldly. “Someone unaware would think the child was yours, seeing you so tense.”

Shen Yujie sprang up, yelling, “Don’t insult people! Qiao Shuhui is not as malicious as you!”

Lu Huailin narrowed his eyes and kicked Shen Yujie in the leg.

Caught off guard, Shen Yujie stumbled forward.

Yu Shanyue slapped him twice as he lunged at her.

Shen Yujie fell to the ground. Yu Shanyue stepped forward, grabbed his ear, and dragged him outside.

“Who told you to meet that woman behind my back?”

Shen Yujie, head tilted and body bent, wailed, “You tigress, I want a divorce!”

The four young passengers who had just entered the carriage watched the scene, too scared to breathe, afraid of getting hit over a word.
