Looking again at An Mingji sitting across, I found the child had finished an apple and was now biting into a pear.
Gu Jin’s fingers twitched slightly, sending a bit of spiritual power to An Mingji.
As always, he didn’t detect even a trace of spiritual power on the other.
This inevitably caused a flash of confusion in Gu Jin’s eyes. During this time of nourishing the child, he had given him plenty of vegetables and fruits from the space, yet he hadn’t discovered any spiritual power presence in the child’s body.
She had checked before; An Mingji’s body wasn’t unable to cultivate, but there was not a single trace of spiritual power remaining in him.
She wondered if things would change when he cultivated the Mystic Sky Technique.
"I told you to spend five more yuan to get a lower berth. Sleeping in the upper berth last night made me ache all over."
A familiar voice of complaint came from the corridor outside; it was the woman named Lili who stayed in the same room with them.
Gu Jin lay on the bed and waved at the little kid gnawing on a pear.
After the kid came over, she handed him the malted milk drink from the table: "Drink this."
An Mingji took the cup and gulped it down like water.
After he finished drinking, Gu Jin took a sweet crispy melon from the biscuit box lid and started eating.
The voices of Lili and Liang Xia’s conversation grew closer.
"Lili, be good, endure for another dozen hours, and we’ll reach Shenzhen. I’ll buy you something delicious when we get there."
"You said it yourself. If it weren’t for the good job you have in Shenzhen, my mom wouldn’t even let me go with you."
Lili’s voice, clearly filled with delight, rang out.
"I said it, just be a little obedient..." the man’s voice, helpless.
As they approached the sleeper compartment, their voices grew fainter.
When they came in, An Mingji was just putting the cup back on the table, preparing to sit down by the bed.
Lili walked in, her eyes showing delight when they met the gaze of the nicely dressed An Mingji standing by the lower berth.
Those eyes staring at her were very somber. They weren’t apparent last night, but now those dark eyes staring at her felt deeply unsettling.
Liang Xia behind her, seeing she didn’t move, asked in confusion, "Why aren’t you going in?"
Lili’s throat was somewhat dry. She swallowed her saliva and swiftly climbed onto the upper berth where Gu Jin was lying.
"Hey? Lili, you’ve gotten on the wrong bunk."
"I want this bunk. What, do you have a problem?"
Liang Xia only felt the inscrutability of a woman’s heart beneath the sea, sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright, sleep wherever you like."
He took out two eggs from the cloth bag that accompanied him on the trip, giving one to Lili’s berth.
He also took out a pancake and a bag of pickles, rolling the pickles into the pancake and handed it to Lili.
He also made himself a pancake with pickles and climbed onto the berth.
Lili took the pancake with pickles, her eyes showing disdain, obviously not liking to eat it.
But the egg in her hand, she did like very much.
While eating the egg, she frequently glanced at An Mingji sitting on the lower berth.
Her eyes shifted, as if she remembered something, she suddenly exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Some people can only eat grass and leaves, nothing is as nutritious as an egg."
Saying this, she took another small bite of the egg, savoring it: "So delicious, this egg is just so tasty..."
An Mingji, munching on his pear, hearing the woman’s exaggerated tone from the upper berth, his hand shook, nearly dropping the pear; goosebumps tingled all over his body.
If he understood the contemporary words for idiot and silly, he would realize the woman on the upper berth was exemplifying those terms to the fullest.
