Chapter 200: Strange People
Tang Zheng looked curiously at the girl, a doll face, fair skin, chubby, very cute, with ear-length short hair, who was staring back at him with big black eyes.
“Handsome fellow, if you look at me like a beautiful woman, I will be shy.” The baby face said playfully, a red glow appeared on her face, which seemed that she really was shy.
Tang Zheng felt too abrupt, and hurriedly said, “I"m sorry.”
The baby face said earnestly, “I don"t think you feel embarra.s.sed at all.”
Tang Zheng"s heart trembled, the luggage in his hand almost fell down. How could this baby face speak so directly?
Looking at the embarra.s.sment of Tang Zheng, the baby face made a grimace and said, “Look, I just said what I thought. Look here, I won"t blame you. Isn"t life for people to see?”
“…” Tang Zheng was speechless.
“Please put my luggage up quickly, or your hands will shake again later.” The baby face urged mischievously.
Tang Zheng put the luggage away in dismay, but when he heard the baby face suddenly exclaimed, “Wow, there"s a big beauty here, really beautiful.”
The baby face stared at the Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and said, “Beauty, you are so beautiful, and your skin is good. Do you have a boyfriend? If not, let me introduce you to some outstanding handsome young men.
Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ didn"t know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at baby face, and the opposite party"s self-acquaintance was somewhat unacceptable to her.
“She already has a boyfriend, and you don"t need to introduce someone.” Tang Zheng said splendidly and sat beside Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, and took advantage of the opportunity to embrace her shoulder.
The baby face"s mouth opened wide in surprise. “Wow, you"re a couple, but you"re not as handsome as the men I mentioned.”
Tang Zheng could not help but rolled his eyes, “Handsome can"t be eaten.”
The baby face shook her head seriously, “Not really. Handsome can eat. Don"t you see so many little white faces relying on their handsome face to eat?”
Tang Zheng was stunned. He could not understand her thinking.
Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ smiled and promptly released her boyfriend, “I still feel that he is the best in the world.”
The baby face felt it preposterous, and her eyes swept the around Tang Zheng. Half believing and half doubting, "Is it? I don"t see anything good? He is very ordinary.”
Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ laughed, Tang Zheng"s excellence wasn"t something that could easily be seen.
“I am an ordinary person. What"s wrong with it?” Tang Zheng asked disgruntled.
“There"s nothing wrong with that, but it"s a bit mismatch with this great beauty.”
“I like it. What others say does not matter.” Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ tightly grasped Tang Zheng"s hand and helped him out.
The baby face shrugged and said, “Well, I will mind my business.”
Tang Zheng thought, "So you also know that you are meddling."
“I would like to introduce myself first. My name is Li Xiaotian, a Beijing person. I just finished the college entrance examination. So, I came out to travel alone.” The baby face introduced herself.
“Li Xiaotian, you have a very special name.” Tang Zheng complimented.
Li Xiaotian naturally said, “Of course it"s special, I just want to smile to the heavens, not afraid of all difficulties and dangers.”

The xiao in her name means laugh or smile and tian means sky or heaven. HideΔ
Speaking, she looked up and stared at the top of the train, revealing a domineering smile.
Tang Zheng and Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ looked at each other and seemed to agree that the girl seemed a little different.
“Besides, the name was given by my grandmother. She said that if a woman wants to hold half the sky, the daughter of the Li family will hold the whole sky. The name must first be imposing. Do you think the name is imposing?” Li Xiaotian smiled and stared at the couple.
Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ smiled, “It"s quite imposing.”
“I introduced myself, and now you two should also introduce yourself.”
“My name is Tang Zheng. My girlfriend is Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+.” Tang Zheng simply introduced himself.
“Tang Zheng, the name is very familiar, I heard that the provincial top scorer is called Tang Zheng.” Li Xiaotian said doubtfully.
Tang Zheng"s heart moved, he had tried to keep a low profile, but did not expect that even this far away in the city even baby face had heard his name.
“Hehe, you have the same name as the top scorer. This is also a great honor. It can also give you a great face.” Li Xiaotian"s laughter seemed to fill the train. She didn"t seem to think that this person was the top scorer of that province.
Tang Zheng was relieved. He really didn"t want to be recognized.
“Please let me in.” Suddenly, a 30 years old man came over with his backpack and said to Li Xiao Tian, who was blocking the aisle.
Li Xiaotian looked back at the other side, glancing at him with an unnoticeable surprise, and smiled and said, “Wow, this trip is really interesting. It seems that I chose the right one.”
The man looked at her, put his luggage on the middle bunk without saying a word, then took off his shoes and climbed up to the middle bunk in silence.
“Hey, handsome guy, why so cold? It"s fate to sit in the same cabin. Come down and chat for a while." Li Xiaotian smiled and shouted.
The man turned a blind eye, turned over his back to the crowd. Didn"t say a word and it seemed that he fell asleep.
Li Xiaotian shrugged her shoulders and said, “It"s a long journey. What"s the point of sleeping and not talking? Do you want to sleep well during the day and be a night owl at night?”
The man"s back muscles immediately straightened, and then quickly restored to the state of relaxation, this scene happened to be noticed by Tang Zheng, his heart turned cold.
Her seemingly unintentional remark made the cold man react so much, which was an almost instinctive vigilant response, indicating that the other person was not ordinary.
Moreover, Tang Zheng also felt a killing intent from the opposite party. Although it was hidden deeply, it still did not escape Tang Zheng"s fiery eyes.
And this Li Xiaotian also gradually gave Tang Zheng a strange feeling. Her words were absolutely not inadvertent, but targeted. She intentionally said it like this.
However, no matter what the ident.i.ty of the other party is, Tang Zheng was not interested. He only needed to arrive safely in Diannan.
“s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, you take a nap for a while, I"ll go for a stroll.” Tang Zheng cast a meaningful glance at Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and winked.
Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ nodded knowingly.
“Tang Zheng, where do you want to stroll on this train?” Li Xiaotian asked.
“Reading ten thousand books, traveling ten thousand li (1li = 0.5km), from different people can see different stories, one can see different stories from different people. Therefore, taking a long around can perhaps lead you to see different stories.” Tang Zheng said.
“Haha, so insightful, so inspiring.” Li Xiaotian smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Tang Zheng walked down the aisle, looking at the other pa.s.sengers from the corner of his eyes. There was no one worth noticing. It seemed that the rest of the pa.s.sengers were normal except the two people opposite him who were a little strange.
Unknowingly, Tang Zheng arrived at the first cla.s.s carriage. The beds in the cabins were a higher grade than hard bunk beds. There were doors to protect a certain degree of privacy.
Tang Zheng walked forward aimlessly. Suddenly, his pupil shrank. He saw a strong man coming out of a cabin in the distance, and walked quickly towards the bathroom.
“Martial Artist!”
Tang Zheng saw the ident.i.ty of his opponent at a glance. A martial artist of Sixth Grade Refining Body, who appeared on the train, had to attract his attention. So he waited for a while for the man to come out. When the martial artist was out of the bathroom and headed to the cabin.
Tang Zheng slowly moved towards the opposite party, just like a normal pa.s.senger. At the moment when the martial artist opened the cabin door, Tang Zheng happened to pa.s.s by and took a glimpse inside the cabin. He found three people sitting inside, an Eight-Grade martial artist, a Six-Grade martial artist, and an ordinary middle-aged man with big fat head and big ears. At first sight, he looked like a rich local tyrant rich flowing with oil.
Tang Zheng remembered it in his mind, strolled around, made sure there were no other noteworthy people, and returned to his cabin.
Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was lying in the bed, seeing Tang Zheng came back, smiled sweetly. He touched her forehead and whispered, “Go to sleep.”
Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ closed her eyes and entered the dream. Tang Zheng also went up to the middle bunk and looked at the back of the cold man in the narrow s.p.a.ce.
The man"s back was very thick. Tang Zheng could imagine the explosive power hidden beneath his clothes.
“He is also a martial artist, and a master at that. I cannot see through his level, that means he is at least a First Grade Pre-Natal or above.” Tang Zheng thought.
Such a strong killing intent, this person must have taken a life with his hands, the key was whether this person had a purpose on taking this train?
Tang Zheng was puzzled. His vision involuntarily fell on Li Xiaotian. She leaned against the cabin, wearing earphones, and seemed to be intoxicated with music.
“Her body didn"t have Inner Energy fluctuation, but her words revealed hidden information that she"s not a normal person. What was the reason she"s on this train?"
Questions were flooding Tang Zheng"s mind. He didn"t feel any drowsiness, instead felt excited. Li Xiaotian"s words seemed to point to something, as if something would happen tonight.
Night fell, the cabin was quiet. At midnight, the cabin lights went out. Everyone fell into the darkness, many of them entered the dream, leaving only the sound of wheels and rails colliding.
Facing the wall of the bed, Tang Zheng seemed to be asleep, motionless. A few hours later, just as he thought that nothing would happen tonight. A rustling sound came from behind.
The sound was so faint that it was almost negligible compared to the sound of the train, but Tang Zheng was too close to the sound source that he heard it clearly.
The cold man got out of the bunk bed and headed for the high cla.s.s carriage. Tang Zheng was about to climb up and catch up to him, but he heard a crisp sound on the floor opposite him, which followed the cold man with gentle steps.
Tang Zheng thought, “This Li Xiaotian is catching up. Isn"t she afraid? Who on earth is she?"
After some time, Tang Zheng got out of bed vigilantly and made sure that no one would notice him. While Fang s.h.i.+ was sleeping soundly. He stepped on the rug of the carriage aisle and crept toward the high cla.s.s carriage.
T/N: This might be the beginning of a new arc.
