Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 206: Farewell
Along the way, answering Pei Jing’s childlike chatter, it felt like they hadn’t said much before they arrived at the place.
Looking at this old train station, Jiang Ran was a bit shocked.
There was no helping it, as Jiang Ran had never personally experienced such a train station before she entered the book.
She was most accustomed to taking high-speed trains.
Even the remotest places, no matter how rundown their high-speed train stations were, were far better than the train station before her eyes.
Jiang Ran curiously surveyed her surroundings, her expression identical to Pei Jing’s.
Pei Huai looked at the expressions of the two of them, and his lips curved slightly upward.
Although they didn’t come right on time, the time left for them wasn’t much.
After a few goodbyes, Jiang Ran and the other two went into the carriage.
The train corridor was narrow, but fortunately, after entering the sleeper compartment, it wasn’t as noisy as before.
After entering the compartment, Jiang Ran immediately put down her luggage and leaned toward the window to look outside.
Wang Cuilan held Pei Jing and stood with Pei Baoshan, looking over in this direction.
Seeing Jiang Ran look over, Pei Jing immediately waved his small hand and called out to his mom.
"Mom, I want to go too."
As Pei Jing spoke, he used his left hand to tug at his right index finger.
That was clearly a subconscious gesture made out of nervous anticipation and fear.
Before she came out of the book, Jiang Ran would actually run around by herself.
Sometimes it was for Chinese medicine, sometimes for gourmet food.
Back then, Jiang Ran traveled without any burden, refusing people to see her off or pick her up, very carefree, entirely unaware of how bittersweet farewells could be.
But now, seeing Pei Jing with reddened eyes pressing his small mouth together, tears in his eyes but stubbornly not crying, using a soft and tender voice to say he also wanted to go along, Jiang Ran’s defenses instantly broke down.
A wave of bittersweet emotion surged up, as if a giant stone weighed on her chest.
This feeling made Jiang Ran want to turn around, get off the train, and hold Pei Jing in her arms to gently comfort him.
But before Jiang Ran could make any move, the train whistled and then slowly started moving.
The train’s sudden movement caught Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan off guard as well.
As they saw the train move forward, the two instinctively ran along with it.
Pei Jing, probably seeing Jiang Ran get further and further away, couldn’t hold back any longer, and tears as big as beans rolled down his fair cheeks.
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"I want mom!"
The train sped up, and even though Jiang Ran kept trying to look back, all she could see were the figures of the three getting smaller and smaller until they vanished completely.
At that moment, Jiang Ran didn’t feel that the green train was slow at all.
Where is it slow?
Isn’t it very fast!
She hadn’t even had time to say goodbye before they had vanished from sight.
As the figures were no longer visible, Jiang Ran could only retract her gaze and sit properly.
The gaze could be retracted in an instant, but the surging emotions couldn’t be calmed down so quickly.
Seeing Jiang Ran sit there silently, Pei Huai opened his mouth but ended up saying nothing.
When he left before, his family did not see him off.
So, this could be considered his first real experience of a farewell.
Of course, everyone neglected him.
It was as if he hadn’t experienced it.
Jiang Ran sat in a daze for a long time before finally letting out a long breath, finally calming down.
Jiang Ran told herself, this was the first time, and it would absolutely be the last time.
The next time she went to beishi, she would never let anyone stand on the platform to see her off. These people had to all sit beside and across from her.
