Chapter 792: Chapter 789
Cheng Dongyuan slightly furrowed his brows and walked over to pick it up.
Upon seeing it, a ripple of emotion flickered through his eyes.
Plainly speaking, it was a school badge from a media college in Beijing.
Was she still a student?
Her age seemed about right, but she didn’t quite seem like a student; rather, she appeared as someone who had been mingling in society for many years. Otherwise, how could such a young girl dare to step in and help him in such a situation?
Most people would have avoided it altogether.
At this point, having encountered such trouble, he really wasn’t in the mood to stay any longer and planned to find a nearby place to stay, rest for the night, and leave the next day.
And that’s how he and Lu Xiao, Wen Xian, got separated in the crowd.
Actually, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, as even though he was in his thirties, he still wasn’t accustomed to such farewell scenes.
Let alone, it was with a girl he had been accompanying for many years.
After he found a place to stay and freshened up, it was nearly 10 pm when he picked up his phone and realized that Wen Xian had messaged him to ask about his situation while he was showering.
A sudden warmth spread through his heart.
But that was all, their relationship was just right as it was, like true siblings.
After he replied, he went to bed.
The area around the bed was plunged into darkness, leaving only a dim night light in the bathroom, and he too drifted into his dreams.
But that night, he didn’t sleep soundly.
Maybe it was because of today’s incident of being pickpocketed, he kept dreaming of those villains, but similarly, he also kept seeing that girl who had helped him.
Only, she wore a mask, making it impossible for him to see her face clearly.
He had a restless night.
The next day, Cheng Dongyuan, supporting his slightly sore head, sat up from the bed.
Maybe it was suddenly being alone, but he hadn’t slept well.
The weather outside was gloomy with continuous rain, which made him sigh deeply after opening the curtains.
It was time to leave this place.
Cheng Dongyuan didn’t ask where Wen Xian and Lu Xiao were going. They had nothing to do with him anymore, as everyone ultimately must walk their own path.
At the hostel, many hosts and travel groups had partnerships. Before leaving, Cheng Dongyuan took a travel agency’s itinerary and headed out with his backpack.
Fifteen minutes later, he boarded a coach from the travel agency.
The destination written on it was Daocheng Yading.
It passed through three places, but the one he wanted to visit was just this one place.
He had heard about it many times but had never been there before.
Once on board, he sat by a window seat, pulled down the hood from the back of his clothes, put on sunglasses, and crossed his arms before resting his head and falling asleep.
The seating on the bus was quite spacious, accommodating only two people per side, with soft seats and fairly new amenities.
But no matter how empty the space was at his feet, there was still nowhere comfortable enough for his long legs.
People boarded one by one, but just before the bus was about to depart, he felt the seat beside him sink slightly as its new occupant settled in, the rustling sounds making him want to open his eyes for a glance.
But perhaps due to his poor sleep the night before, his eyelids were too heavy, and the waves of sleepiness prevented him from opening his eyes.
A ray of sunlight shone through a gap in the bus window curtains as the bus started moving.
The swaying curtain cast a shadow over her delicate fair jawline.
