CHAPTER 528: CHAPTER 494 CORRECT GUESS

Yu Fen: No, I don’t think this is a romantic thing at all.

Jiang Xiao was complaining when he read this sentence.

It’s very likely that Fang Tianyu’s brain is filled with pelvic fluid, otherwise he absolutely wouldn’t do such a brainless thing.

Especially since he knows Fang Tianyu is a serious person, the meaning expressed in his writing would never be incorrect.

Make sure she won’t write it incorrectly next time before having her copy it ten times?

When Jiang Xiao read this sentence, his little brain fucking shriveled.

If you’re fucking sure she won’t write it wrong next time, why the hell make her copy it ten times?

Whose brain is sick?

He skimmed through the letter and Yu Fen’s writing had improved a lot, and she even had a big craving for laziness, sometimes deliberately turning complex characters into simplified ones.

For example, "The little girl’s cotton-padded jacket has become a bit tight, I had her aunt alter it, and there’s no need to buy new clothes this year."

She would write "cotton-padded jacket" as "seedling," "aunt" as "Shen," and "new clothes" as "inhale."

Could it be said that Yu Fen was effortlessly adept at using such extreme simplification? It appeared in many places.

It was only Mr. Fang Tianyu who meticulously circled these hieroglyphics and patiently indicated the correct meanings she wanted to express on the side.

Otherwise, even with Jiang Xiao’s way of thinking, he would stumble in some places while reading.

If she had to copy all that ten times...

Jiang Xiao estimated that, even with fast handwriting, it would take at least three to five hours to finish.

If Yu Fen’s handwriting speed isn’t up to par...

God forbid she starts writing characters upside down again, Fang Tianyu is bound to help her correct it.

That’s only the copying time, not to mention our Mr. Fang Tianyu’s personal analysis, which I guess could take a couple of days.

Indeed, "romantic" indeed.

"And what else?"

Jiang Xiao flipped through and saw another handwriting style, the sender referring to themselves as "baby" in the letters to Fang Tianyu.

But this wasn’t about cheating.

Judging by the Q-cute font and the "brushstrokes" where a character with just a few more strokes occupies two or three squares, it was mostly Fang Tianyu’s daughter.

Of course, many characters replaced with pinyin also confirmed the sender’s identity.

"That’s quite nice," Jiang Xiao said sincerely.

This feeling of a family of three made him feel very comfortable.

Perhaps because he also had a wife and children, he couldn’t help but empathize.

Thinking about it, if he hadn’t met Sun Wei and Shi Shi, he probably wouldn’t be able to comprehend a single word of those letters.

Now he was almost addicted, the more he read, the more he wanted to.

Right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao turned towards the co-driver lounging in the chair, eyes leisurely closed, and asked,

"Scarface, do you have a wife?"

"No? What’s up?" the other party opened their eyes, not understanding why Jiang Xiao would ask him such a sudden question.

"Oh, no wonder," Jiang Xiao nodded, realizing he had guessed right again.

Hmm?

Since the diary was underneath the letters, so Jiang Xiao who first read the diary naturally went from back to front when reading the letters.

If it were letters one by one, most people would prefer to read from the oldest dates to the newest dates.

And in the letter on top, Jiang Xiao saw the latest letter sent by Yu Fen.

The beginning was as usual, nothing special.

But at the end, she mentioned that she had already taken her daughter and planned to make the long journey to find dad.

They would wait for Fang Tianyu at the T180 train station.

Yu Fen also took Fang Tianyu’s work situation into account.

She sensibly stated in the letter that Fang Tianyu didn’t need to take leave or anything like that.

Just work normally.

She and her daughter would conscientiously buy tickets to board the train, they certainly wouldn’t pull strings, promised not to break any rules, and absolutely wouldn’t cause trouble for him as a driver.

Last to add:

"Ni’er misses you, and I want to bring her to see you. I’m not sure if the trains have glass windows, but even just seeing you through the glass would be fine."

"Right, the letter Fang Tianyu hadn’t managed to send out yet!"

Jiang Xiao quickly opened it.

This letter had rare mistakes all over it, with many places corrected.

In essence, it was cold, and he didn’t want Yu Fen to run all over the place with their daughter.

Anyway, one could tell that Fang Tianyu was feeling somewhat irritable.

A woman with a small girl, how could one feel at ease about that?

Jiang Xiao nodded, the public security in this era... indeed wasn’t too good.

Of course, it wasn’t very bad either, as the emergence of green-skin trains was a sign that the economy had begun to develop.

Countless people left their hometowns to work or start businesses elsewhere.

So the combination of Yu Fen, a woman with a child, seemed a bit fragile, but most likely wouldn’t pose any problem.

"Hiss?"

Did Yu Fen end up taking the child on the train after all?

Jiang Xiao, puzzled beyond belief, pondered for a long time before deciding to ask the assistant driver.

If they really had boarded the train, they would definitely want to see Fang Tianyu, and as the assistant driver, Scarface must know something, right?

"First off, my name isn’t Scarface..."

The assistant driver couldn’t stand the nickname Jiang Xiao had imposed on him, but the realization soon struck him, and his spirits lifted.

"What? Tianyu’s wife and child came to see him? No way, I don’t know anything about that, I really didn’t receive any news! Really?"

Looking at his expression, he didn’t seem to be lying.

Jiang Xiao actually already had a vague guess in his heart.

If Yu Fen and her daughter truly took the train...

Then there was an explanation for the second mysterious shadow that had opposed them.

"Right, it’s correct for you, the assistant driver, not to know about them taking the train..."

Because neither Yu Fen nor Fang Tianyu wanted others to know about the mother and daughter boarding the train!

In this era, family members of a train driver boarding a train, even with bought tickets, could still be accused of using connections to get on board.

It could be complimentary tickets or discounted tickets...

These kinds of rumors could be deadly at certain times.

Although Jiang Xiao didn’t know if this was one of those special periods.

But in the letter, Yu Fen repeatedly assured that she would [conscientiously buy ticketed passage, not take shortcuts, not break any rules, and definitely not cause trouble for him as a driver]

"That’s right, it must be so... Definitely!"

Everything was starting to connect.

The two shadows were Fang Tianyu and Yu Fen!

And their child, wasn’t it Ni’er?

Possibly because the character for ’Ni’er’ was rather complex, Yu Fen took a shortcut by using the words ’baby’ or ’Ni’er’ instead.

"No, something still doesn’t add up..." Jiang Xiao furrowed his brow again.

If it was the couple, the choice of shadows lined up, and it could also explain why the assistant driver and the rest didn’t know the identity of the second shadow.

Both husband and wife didn’t want others to know that Yu Fen boarded the train.

However, there was still something else...

Fang Tianyu might be upright and self-sacrificing, using his own life to delay the strange forces.

But what would make Yu Fen follow suit?

It made no sense at all!

They say dying for love is just an ancient legend.

Even if Yu Fen was hopelessly romantic, Fang Tianyu would definitely not agree.

After all, they had a daughter. Was the couple planning to abandon their home together, leaving their daughter behind?

"No, something is still off."
