"The D**** train from Cangzhou West Station to Beijing South Station is about to arrive, please hurry and check your tickets…"
"Comrade, could you please check where I board the train with this ticket? I can't recognize anything after the expansion."
The ticket inspector looked up and couldn't help but blink.
In front of her was a tall, slender man around one meter eighty, well-proportioned, wearing a black sweater, his cheeks gaunt, his eyes so piercing that she felt a chill down her spine.
He looked a bit like a movie star, like... Zhang Zhen.
"Comrade?"
"Ah, go right, at the blue sign, platform number 2."
"Alright, thank you."
The man walked in the direction she pointed, pressing his phone to his ear, with an ancient-looking copper coin hanging brightly on his chest.
"I'm just getting on the train now, yes, by myself."
A man's voice came through from the other end of the phone.
