A normal person would probably smile bashfully after being praised like that. However, the two people in front of them acted as if it was normal.
Lu Yichen still had a straight face. He looked at the other party and said coldly, "Thank you."
Uh--
The atmosphere was a little cold. Kang Xiaoqiao felt awkward for the other party. He had been chatting away the entire day.
Who would have thought that the other party didn't look embarrassed at all? He still smiled and said, "Not at all. Are the two of you going to the provincial capital?"
Lu Yichen still nodded with a straight face. Meanwhile, the corner of Kang Xiaoqiao's mouth twitched. Seeing that Lu Yichen didn't like to talk, she continued, "That's right. We're going to the provincial capital to visit our relatives. Are the two of you going to the provincial capital too? Uncle?"
Pfft--
Lin An had just drunk a mouthful of water and almost spat it out. He coughed.
Meanwhile, the corner of Lu Yichen's mouth curled up slightly.
The girl in bell-bottomed pants at the side couldn't take it anymore. After handing him a handkerchief, she turned around and glared at Kang Xiaoqiao. "Who are you calling uncle? My cousin is only twenty-seven years old."
Kang Xiaoqiao felt very wronged by her glare. She blinked her eyes and said, "Er, your cousin looks too anxious. I thought he was already in his thirties."
"I'm only seventeen this year. It's not a loss for me to call him uncle."
Kang Xiaoqiao's face didn't turn red and she wasn't panting. Saying such shameless words, the girl was so angry that the corner of Kang Xiaoqiao's mouth curled up.
"You..."
Before she could say anything, the man surnamed Lin regained his strength and grabbed her arm. "Alright, Lili, this girl was just joking, and you took it seriously."
When the girl called Lili heard this, she snorted. "What joke? She did it on purpose."
Lin An wanted to say something, but after grabbing her wrist, the girl called Lili snorted and pulled her hand back.
Then, Lin An chuckled and said, "My cousin isn't very sensible, sorry for making a fool of herself."
Lu Yichen remained silent. Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I won't be calculative with an ignorant sister."
After saying that, she smiled sweetly. The lady called Lili jumped up and glared at Kang Xiaoqiao. "You..."
Before she could finish, she was stopped by Lin An. Kang Xiaoqiao felt that it was a pity. Let her say it. I'm still waiting for her. If you dare to think about my man, don't think I won't kill you.
However, Kang Xiaoqiao looked at this Lin An in front of her indifferently. Not bad, you have good taste. However, there's still a long way to go, we're not in a hurry.
The girl called Lili was about to explode with anger. She complained softly, "Cousin, why are you dragging me? You are magnanimous when she said that about you, but I don't like it. She clearly did it on purpose, she..."
Following that, Lin An softly comforted her. In such a big place, Lu Yichen and Kang Xiaoqiao heard it clearly.
Lu Yichen looked at Kang Xiaoqiao indifferently, which meant that she should stop. Kang Xiaoqiao pursed her lips and ignored him as she looked out of the window.
As it was summer, the window of the green train was open. The morning sun was not strong, but it was warm on the body. The breeze was very comfortable.
Looking at the lush crops outside, the occasional birds flying by, and the sound of the train, Kang Xiaoqiao's face was full of smiles.
Everything was wonderful. Kang Xiaoqiao was very happy, so she took out a handkerchief and stretched her hand out of the window. Looking at it being blown by the wind, it felt very beautiful.
Kang Xiaoqiao was very beautiful, and her smile was even more mesmerizing. Lu Yichen liked Kang Xiaoqiao to begin with, so when he saw that she was happy, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he touched her head.
"Okay, just play. The temperature is low in the morning. Don't catch a cold."
Kang Xiaoqiao turned her head and smiled at him. She nodded heavily and said, "Well, I've never been on a green train like this before. It's really nice that you can open the window."
As she said that, she withdrew her hand. As soon as Kang Xiaoqiao finished speaking, the girl opposite her said with a disdainful look, "Tsk, country bumpkin, you've never been on a train before."
Lu Yichen's face turned black as soon as he heard that. He looked sharply at the girl.
The surrounding air instantly turned several degrees colder. After the girl was stared at, she widened her eyes in shock and swallowed her saliva. The hand under the table grabbed Lin An's arm and only then did she feel more at ease.
However, when she saw Kang Xiaoqiao's provocative smile, she became even angrier. "What's wrong with what I said? A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. Which train can't have windows open? Hmph."
Just as she finished speaking, she heard Lin An's angry rebuke. "Shut up."
"Cousin..." the girl said with an aggrieved expression.
When Kang Xiaoqiao was smiling just now, this man called Lin An had already been stunned by what he saw. Lu Yichen was naturally unhappy as well. However, this person was not an ordinary person. After seeing him, he immediately recovered and there were no other emotions in his eyes. It was very pure. This was why he did not offend Lu Yichen.
However, this girl called Lili was not so lucky.
When Kang Xiaoqiao saw that she was being reprimanded, the corners of her mouth curled up. Country bumpkin? She really did not expect that she would be called a country bumpkin one day. Tsk tsk. Very fresh.
However, who was Kang Xiaoqiao? She still smiled and said, "Looks like this sister always takes the train? You know so much about this?"
When the girl called Lili heard this... She raised her chin and said arrogantly, "Of course. Who doesn't have any culture like you, a country bumpkin? The train windows in this country can be opened. We're sitting in a hard seat carriage, and there's also a sleeper carriage, so we can lie down and sleep."
"However, this kind of small place doesn't have it. Only the flights to the capital can have it. However, you, just think about it."
"Lili, shut up."
Lin An was already very angry. This cousin of his had always been bossy since she was young. She was also mean and narrow-minded. Usually, it was fine, but when she saw someone who was better than her or someone who was better than her in other aspects, she couldn't stand it. This kind of character couldn't be tolerated... His aunt was already very worried.
However, there was nothing she could do. Yesterday, she asked him to bring her to the Zhang family in the provincial capital. This person was spoiled by her grandmother, so it gave her mother a headache. The journey was pretty good, but he didn't expect to meet these two people. It was obvious that they were not to be trifled with, but... This cousin had offended people everywhere.
Lin An said with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, both of you. My cousin is not sensible. I brought her to apologize to this lady. I'm sorry."
When Zhang Lili heard this, she glared at Lin An and said, "Cousin, why are you apologizing to her? She was originally a country bumpkin. Did I say anything wrong?"
Calling her a country bumpkin, Lu Yichen didn't want to argue with a little girl, but how could he not care when his sweetheart was wronged? Just as Lu Yichen was about to speak, Kang Xiaoqiao stretched out her hand and patted his big hand twice, then tugged at his finger. Lu Yichen froze on the spot.
