Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 1061: He Doesn’t Want Her to Suffer

Xinyan held the malted milk drink and drank more than half before she couldn’t drink anymore. It was just too sweet and overwhelming. "Jinxuan, I can’t drink any more."

He Jinxuan took the cup from her. "If you can’t drink it, then don’t."

He took a few sips and finished it himself. "You sit here, I’ll go wash the cup and spoon."

Just as he finished speaking, they heard the older lady next door say, "A grown man eating a woman’s leftovers, be careful, she might end up having you wrapped around her finger. Women can’t be spoiled."

He Jinxuan’s face turned solemn. "Madam, that’s enough. What, do you want to manage our household too?"

He immediately added, "I just like to spoil my wife."

Xinyan burst out laughing at He Jinxuan’s appearance. "Madam, everyone has their own destiny, something you can’t simply envy."

The older lady retorted, "Who’s envious of you?"

Xinyan saw how upset she was and laughed even more. "Well, does Madam live by the sea?"

The older lady didn’t understand what Xinyan meant, thinking it wasn’t anything good. "What do you mean? I never said I live by the sea."

Xinyan replied playfully, "Oh, so you don’t live by the sea? Then you’re really worrying about things beyond your reach. No wonder you look so aged."

With just a few words, the older lady was fuming. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Seeing this, Xinyan worried the lady might actually get angry and said with a smile, "Don’t take it seriously, just joking with you."

The older lady turned her head away and attempted to console herself, fearing she might actually be angered to death by this carefree girl.

At this moment, He Jinxuan returned. "Had enough fun?"

Xinyan took the water cup he handed over, sipped it, and said, "It’s a bit hot, I’ll drink it later."

He Jinxuan nodded gently. "You sit here, I’ll go see if I can upgrade to a sleeper ticket."

Yesterday, they didn’t manage to buy tickets when they got off the train, and today at the counter, they still couldn’t get sleeper tickets, so they bought seats instead.

Now the train was crowded, and even the aisles were packed. Xinyan held him back. "Don’t bother, the night will pass quickly anyway, and you might not find any."

He Jinxuan didn’t want her to be uncomfortable. "It’s okay, I’ll just go take a look, just in case there is."

He wasn’t worried for himself, but he didn’t want Xinyan to suffer. It was his oversight; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so difficult to get sleeper tickets.

Seeing his determination, Xinyan knew he was concerned about her, so she didn’t stop him.

He squeezed his way back after half an hour. "Yanyan, pack up, I’ll take you there."

Xinyan sensed something was off. "What do you mean?"

While packing, He Jinxuan explained, "There’s only one berth, I’ll take you first. Once you’re settled, I’ll figure it out."

Upon hearing his words, Xinyan didn’t want to go anymore. Doing so would mean they’d have to separate. "Forget it, let’s just stay here. I don’t want to be apart from you."

He Jinxuan coaxed her softly, "It’s okay, I talked with the attendant. I’ll keep an eye on you from nearby."

With that, Xinyan’s mind started working. "Is the berth an upper or lower one?"

He Jinxuan lifted the luggage and replied, "It’s a lower berth."

Xinyan was pleased. "Alright, let’s go then."

Yet, she was still cautious and said to the lady opposite, "Sister, you can move over here and manage to squeeze in. It’s helping us keep the seat."

The lady opposite was more than willing. This way, she would have more space, and if the man didn’t return at night, she could even lay down and rest.

Unexpectedly lucky, she quickly agreed, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep the seat secure for you."

Seeing her switch seats, the two of them then left.

When they got to the berth, someone was already sitting there. After Xinyan stated her intent, they didn’t say much, just mentioned they would make way when it was time to sleep.

Naturally, Xinyan had no objections.

When it was time to rest, Xinyan used her bag to cover herself as she took out a sheet from her space and spread it on the bed. She also took out an army-green blanket, intending to use it first and then put a quilt over it.

Perhaps He Jinxuan had already talked to the sleeping car attendant because until everyone fell asleep, the attendant didn’t come to ask anyone to leave.

He Jinxuan settled Xinyan in. "Sleep, I’ll watch over you here."
