CHAPTER 651: CHAPTER 626: NOT MUCH STRONGER

Bai Yiyi held the ticket and pretended to follow behind a middle-aged man and woman to enter the station.

No one noticed such a small child.

They thought she was with the adults.

Bai Yiyi got on the train and found her sleeper berth.

The train attendant was curious when swapping her sleeper tag.

"Little girl, why are you alone? Where are your parents? Who brought you onto the train?"

Bai Yiyi calmly smiled and said, "Auntie, my mom brought me onto the train. She went to the dining car to buy me some food because I’m feeling a bit dizzy."

She had already thought of an excuse.

Luckily, the train attendant didn’t care much about these things and left after changing the bed tag.

Bai Yiyi quickly shrank under the blanket, pretending to sleep there. The blanket was bulging, so no one would notice if it was a child or an adult sleeping under it.

By early morning tomorrow, she could get off the train, and no one would notice then.

It wasn’t until five or six in the afternoon that Bai Yiyi got up.

When asked by the surrounding passengers, Bai Yiyi used the excuse that her mother was caring for her brother, who was in another sleeper car, so she slept in her mother’s berth.

The adults didn’t pay much attention to it; after all, it was unlikely for a child to travel alone by train.

It indeed would be challenging for a woman traveling with two kids. If the brother is young, she’d have to care for him first.

Bai Yiyi really made it past without getting caught.

In this era, not many people could afford sleeper berths; most people sat in the front hard seats. Those who could afford sleepers were either on business trips or wealthy.

This train to West City wasn’t a popular route, so the sleeper cars were quite empty.

At dinner time, Bai Yiyi took out her small backpack, which she had filled with food.

There were all sorts of bread and cookies at home, and she packed enough for two meals for herself.

Just then, turning her head, she realized two small heads were staring at her with big, bright eyes, startling Bai Yiyi.

Bai Yiyi quickly ran behind the two without seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

What came next was a feeling of speechlessness.

The uncle on the upper berth noticed the extra two little fellows and curiously asked Bai Yiyi.

"Are these your brothers? Didn’t you say your mom was with you and your brother? Do you have two brothers? These two brothers look quite similar, both chubby and cute, really adorable."

Bai Yiyi forced a smile; how would she know when these two mischievous kids got on the train, following her? They’ve been hiding for quite some time; wonder where they were all this while.

"Uncle, my mom is a bit tired, so we let her sleep over there. We came to squeeze in with our sister. My sister’s berth is big; otherwise, with our mom and us together, there’s no room to stretch our legs."

Experienced Song Ziyi, with his fluent lying skills, handled it with ease.

Tang Yuan nodded vigorously, "We squeezed in with our sister; her berth is big."

"No kidding, this kid is so thoughtful, he even knows to care for his mom. Indeed, with you two being so chubby, there’s no way your mom can fit with you on that berth. Good boy! Uncle expects great things from you!

You’ll definitely become someone important and filial, and will surely treat your wife well in the future."

Bai Yiyi almost rolled her eyes. These two kids lie through their teeth; how are they thoughtful and filial?

And what does this have to do with treating a wife well?

Thinking of them as thoughtful and filial?

Thoughtful and filial, yet they managed to sneak behind her like this.

She wondered if things back home were in chaos already.

Thinking about how Jiang Xiaoxiao was still carrying twins, she might be worried sick about the three of them by now.

Bai Yiyi felt her future was bleak and dismal.

Her sister would surely be angry upon returning.

Bai Yiyi figured she needed to memorize those medical books from front to back.

Tang Yuan and Baozi, with ingratiating smiles, followed Bai Yiyi on the bus to the train station.

It was thanks to Baozi’s rich experience that they emptied their piggy banks before leaving; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to board the bus.

The two didn’t buy tickets, unlike Bai Yiyi with her experience, they snuck onto the train.

Following behind the adults, the ticket inspector indeed let them pass by thinking they were merely two kids.

Well, they really were two kids.

The two smoothly boarded the train.

They first hid in the restroom to avoid the ticket check until the attendant finished checking tickets.

The duo wandered in the carriage for quite a while without finding Bai Yiyi and later learned from the adults that there were sleeper berths in the back.

This led them to search one compartment at a time until they finally found their sister.

Especially seeing their sister take out so many goodies.

They were already hungry; their stomachs were empty, leading to the current situation.

Bai Yiyi was internally angry but dared not show it.

Their carriage was the last sleeper carriage, with even fewer people. In her compartment, it was just her and that uncle.

The uncle seemed to be on a business trip; he was friendly and, after getting on the upper berth, hadn’t come down.

He indeed asked her a couple of questions but not too many.

She dared not casually say anything in front of outsiders.

If people found out she sneaked out, it would be serious trouble. What if the train attendants decided to send them back, then wouldn’t her trip be in vain?

She hurriedly pulled the two brothers over, washed their hands briefly, and stuffed the food she brought into their hands.

Baozi and Tang Yuan were truly starving. During lunch, they were anxious to follow their sister, worried she’d leave early without them.

So they didn’t even pay attention to eating.

The two just had half a bowl before quitting, making Fan Xiuying think they were unwell.

Now, after such a busy afternoon, their stomachs were empty and growling with hunger.

Now seeing the bread and cookies their sister brought, everything went right into their tummies.

At meal time, the uncle on the sleeper also went to the dining car, leaving them alone finally, and Bai Yiyi gave the two a fierce glare.

"What are you two doing here?"

Baozi and Tang Yuan immediately slowed their eating pace, knowing their little aunt was surely angry.

Baozi and Tang Yuan sheepishly replied.

"Little Aunt, we just wanted to help you out, nothing more. We two are very useful."

Baozi patted his chest with confidence.

It made Bai Yiyi laugh in exasperation.

"You two, still claiming to be so useful? As long as you don’t make trouble, that’ll be good enough. Do you know how worried your parents would be with you sneaking away like this? Do you know what chaos will be happening back home now?"

Bai Yiyi was rendered speechless by the accusing look in Baozi and Tang Yuan’s eyes.

True!

She hadn’t done much better than them.
