Chapter 154

At the height of summer, even at four o’clock in the afternoon the sun is still very poisonous, green train is crowded, and there is no air conditioning, stuffy, sitting on the train is no different from sitting in a sauna.

As soon as the train arrived at the station, passengers got off for air.

The station was swarming with people, and Cheng Ming instantly lost sight of Auntie Lian Ying and Xu Juan.

Cheng Ming squeezed into the crowd, holding the sign high towards where Auntie Lian’s aunts had just been, and could only hope that they stood still and didn’t move.

Hearing someone call out her name, yet adding the word auntie, made Lian Ying slightly stunned, and not reacting for a moment, she stood in place and looked around to find someone who was actually calling out to her.

Passing through the layers of human walls, Cheng Ming saw the faces of this mother and daughter up close, and past memories surfaced in his mind like a tidal wave.

Auntie Lian Ying was petite and short, wearing a light black dress with a brown sash tied around her waist, beads of sweat seething from the heat on her forehead, her bangs disheveled.

Beside her, Xu Juan was already almost as tall as her mother, with a little red face, presumably bored out of her mind in the train.

Xu Juan had decent features, long eyelashes, a straight nose, and red, plump lips. But her eyes were hollow and lifeless, looking like a mannequin, with the frozen beauty of a static sculpture.

Dressed in a very plain and simple chemise and whitish jeans, the color and pattern were not considered nice.

“It’s Auntie Lian Ying and your daughter, right? My dad asked me to pick you up, my dad is Cheng ……”

Cheng Ming was planning to hold on to his dad’s name and ID number to prove his identity.

Lian Ying was the first to say, “You’re Hongyuan’s son, aren’t you? You look so much like him when he was a child, I recognized you right away.”

“Eh ……”

I can’t believe that it is so simple to be recognized, right, but it is also good, so that Cheng Ming will not have to explain that my father is my father this kind of world problem.

But Auntie Lian Ying knew her dad when she was a kid. Were they really classmates?

Or maybe it’s a childhood friend? Or maybe an old flame.

Lian Ying gently stroked Cheng Ming’s cheeks, her palms rough with quite a few calluses, barely squeezing out a tired and haggard smile.

This ride on a green train will take more than ten hours at least, considering their financial situation, I am afraid that it is a hard seat ticket, Cheng Ming’s scalp is numb just thinking about it.

“My dad is still at work, let me come to pick you up, the cab I called is waiting for me outside, let me help you with the luggage.” Cheng Ming said as he held the luggage trolley.

Lian Ying said politely, “No, no, I’ll just get it myself.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine, there’s no need to be polite with me, I’m a man, leave the physical work to me, come with me, the exit is this way.” Cheng Ming said forcefully.

Lian Ying didn’t insist anymore, it was a kind of trust to hand over his only luggage to him, a ‘stranger’ that he had just met.

It’s a chaotic time of year, and there are a lot of petty thieves and flyers on the streets.

It could also be that there was nothing of value in the luggage, just a pile of old clothes.

As far as Cheng Ming and Lian Ying were concerned side by side, Xu Juan did not say a word and silently followed behind the two.

“What’s your name and how old are you?” Lian Ying asked.

“Cheng Ming, Ming of Dawn, fifteen years old this year, right, just graduated from middle school.”

Cheng Ming really doesn’t have a solid sense of age or anything, and says that he has a better sense of what grade he’s reading.

“Then you’re the same age as my daughter, and you know my name, right? My daughter’s name is Xu Juan.” Lian Ying turned around and reprimanded, “What’s wrong with you kid, so rude, just like a wooden man, you can’t even say hello.”

“Auntie Lian Ying, it’s fine, I don’t mind, don’t scold her.”

Auntie Lian Ying is both qualified and unqualified as a mother, with too much pressure on herself. Though not so much as to beat her daughter, at most, hateful to say a few words to vent their grievances on her daughter.

But she keeps her pain inside and doesn’t confide in her daughter, and Xu Juan does the same, resulting in a widening gap between mother and daughter.

At least for the two years they spent with Cheng Ming, they were mother and daughter.

“Alas ……”

Lian Ying let out a long breath and shook her head helplessly, she couldn’t do anything about her daughter.

“Cheng Ming you don’t have to be so polite, just call me Auntie Lian.”

“Okay, Aunt Liam.”

It was really a fresh name, Cheng Ming’s previous life and Auntie Lian Ying were not even as close as they were now that they had just met.

How to say, Cheng Ming was a rebellious and self-absorbed Internet addicted teenager at that time, I do what I want, and not good at talking, naturally, he would not take the initiative to get close to Auntie Lian, and gave her a bad first impression.

Now that Cheng Ming had the opportunity to remake his first impression, he naturally wanted to perform well.

Auntie Lian boarded with them in her previous life, and the family was very difficult and in debt.

Auntie Lian also felt that she and her daughter were dragging them down, always looking at Cheng Ming with mixed feelings and then saying sorry.

Maybe that’s why she finally chose to leave without saying goodbye.

“You can call me Ming too, that’s what everyone in my family calls me.”

“Xiao Ming, your parents are really something too, how can they call you like that.” Lian Ying covered her mouth and guffawed.

“I think it’s okay, it’s just a little hard when it’s used as a joke by my classmates in elementary school, but I don’t feel much of it when I’m older.”

Cheng Ming glanced back at Xu Juan, his facial expression unchanged.

I’m sure you’re not laughing. Can’t you get such a cheap joke?

Cheng Ming didn’t seem to have seen Xu Juan cry or laugh before, and she didn’t even frown when she had clearly done that kind of excessive thing to her.

Let’s set a small goal to make Xu Juan laugh or make her cry.

As the saying goes, if you don’t break it, you can’t stand it. A bad mood change is also a change, and it’s better than none, which means that it may have a bad influence on Xu Juan. But she is like this, how bad can it be?

Cheng Ming and Auntie Lian talked and laughed all the way to the parking spot outside.

Cheng Ming put the suitcase in the trunk of the cab and the three of them squeezed into the back seat together.

Aunt Lian sat in the very center, Xu Juan in the middle, and Cheng Ming on the right.

Xu Juan’s blouse and pants were a bit short, standing was fine, as soon as she sat down, she revealed a glimpse of her snow-white tummy and leg bellies, and her jeans were unbelted, with a big opening at the back, her panties clearly visible not to mention even her deep grooves could be glimpsed.

His focus is so weird too.

Cheng Ming withdrew his lewd gaze and pulled up the car window.

The train station is located in a remote suburb, and when the wind blows, it is full of sand and dust, choking people.

The road was not in very good condition, sometimes bumping up and down, sometimes swaying from side to side, either Cheng Ming pressed into Xu Juan’s soft body, or she pressed on Cheng Ming.

Cheng Ming naturally did not pretend to be a gentleman, gripping the handrail, let inertia, have done that kind of thing, there is no such thing as mooching or not mooching.

Xu Juan was even more indifferent, she was just like that, looking like she was at the mercy of others.

Otherwise Cheng Ming wouldn’t have used her to irritate his sister into hating staying away from him.
