Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 223: Leaving Without Saying Goodbye

The days passed by unnoticed.

Zhang Yuan’s teacher had urged him several times, and Lin Xue should have returned by now; they’ve been out for over twenty days, and the day of their separation was quickly approaching.

Zhang Yuan became somewhat clingy, always wanting to be by the young girl’s side.

"Brother Yuan, is it really necessary to be so clingy? We can meet anytime if you miss me!" Lin Xue sighed as she looked at the person sitting next to her, not going to bed even though it was already midnight.

"It’s not the same. It doesn’t feel real! Besides, once I get into it, it’s going to be day and night, and I might not be able to manage anything else. While I still can, I want to stick to you a little more, so don’t forget about me then!" Zhang Yuan spoke like an overgrown child.

"As soon as you have free time, you dive right in. I’ll prepare some food for you!" Lin Xue said, somewhat sympathetically.

"Girl, perhaps in the next couple of days, I need to send you back! My teacher’s in a bit of a rush!" Zhang Yuan pouted as he spoke.

"Hmm, I’ve been out long enough. It’s time to go back!" Lin Xue nodded, "I can’t keep delaying your work!"

"I’ll buy the tickets tomorrow!" Zhang Yuan said reluctantly, but this was something that couldn’t be changed. As adults, there’s no room for being overly sentimental.

"Brother Yuan, I’ll go back by myself! You don’t need to see me off! Coming and going will take up several days! Why should I make you see me off when I can go back myself?" Lin Xue cautiously suggested.

"No way! I won’t be at ease if you go back by yourself! Delaying time doesn’t compare to you, it’s insignificant. If my teacher can’t wait, then they can start without me, I don’t have to go!" Zhang Yuan staunchly insisted.

"I really can go back by myself! Why are you so stubborn?" Lin Xue laughed.

This person, I’ve realized he puts me first in everything he does, which can’t help but make me feel moved.

"I promised Auntie, I must see you back safely! I can’t break my word!"

Whenever they disagreed, he always brought up her parents to pressure her, and he was still doing it now.

"Alright, alright! Then go buy the tickets!" Lin Xue didn’t want to argue anymore and nodded briskly.

A single ticket doesn’t cost much; she had plenty of ways to make sure he didn’t see her off.

Zhang Yuan saw the young girl agreeing so easily and thought, her weakness was still something he could always hit precisely.

The next day, he bought the ticket for the day after tomorrow at nine in the evening.

Lin Xue looked at the ticket, it was for the night after tomorrow, and she chuckled to herself; wasn’t this providing her with a good opportunity to execute her plan?

A night ticket meant she could sneak away quietly!

The next day, she said that she had seen a coat she liked for her mother at the department store and wanted to buy it, but she could go alone since she’s been there several times. Zhang Yuan didn’t need to accompany her, and she let Xiao Qin take her instead.

Zhang Yuan felt at ease knowing Xiao Qin was taking her, and as he had something to deal with, he didn’t accompany her.

Lin Xue first went to the department store, actually buying clothes for her mom and grandma, and got some local specialties from Capital City for the kids, then had Xiao Qin take her to the train station.

She changed the ticket to the nine o’clock one for that evening, inquired about the possibility of a refund, and decided to refund the other ticket.

She then nonchalantly returned home, took a walk with her grandparents, and cooked dinner for them, staying to eat with them.

By the time Zhang Yuan came back, he asked if Lin Xue had bought the clothes, and she showed him what she’d bought.

Zhang Yuan was unsuspecting; they had dinner at five thirty, and then Zhang Yuan said he had something to attend to and would be back soon.

Lin Xue claimed she was tired from the day and wanted to go to bed early, and Zhang Yuan, unsuspecting, saw her to her room.

As soon as Lin Xue got to her room, she packed her luggage and stored it away somewhere.

She packed a small bag with food, meal tickets, and some tens of dollars separately, and tucked them away as well.

At seven thirty, when her grandparents had gone upstairs to rest, she went downstairs and left a farewell letter on the coffee table.

It was to say how delightful these days with her grandparents had been, that though she didn’t want to leave, she didn’t want to witness the farewell scene and didn’t want to delay Zhang Yuan’s work, so she changed her ticket to leave early and promised to send a telegram confirming her safe arrival.

She had Xiao Qin take her to the train station, without mentioning she was leaving without a word, only saying that Zhang Yuan was busy and couldn’t escort her, so she asked him to accompany her instead.

As Lin Xue was about to leave, she realized it didn’t seem right to go to the train station with nothing, so she retrieved the small bag from her stash.

Anyway, there was no one on the first floor when she left, so she swaggered out the door. Xiao Qin, upon hearing the situation, immediately went forward to carry her small bag, and thus smoothly escorted her to the train station.

Nevertheless, he was a bit puzzled; didn’t the old man and old lady usually like this young lady of the house very much? Why didn’t they come out to see her off?

And the young master was especially attentive to this young lady; what kind of major affair would make him leave her to go back alone?

However, he was just a driver, and it was not his place to ask questions, so he followed the orders.

Lin Xue deliberately had Xiao Qin stay until she boarded the train before letting him leave to prevent him from encountering Zhang Yuan coming back.

As she thought to herself, they can meet anytime, why delay his time by making him take her back, which would be both time-consuming and tiring.

If he had seen her off, it would take more than ten days on the train, and even though it was a sleeper, it would still be exhausting.

She had been on the train for over two hours when Zhang Yuan’s application to enter the space finally came through.

Did he just come back and realize she was gone?

Lin Xue got up slowly from the bed and walked into the restroom, allowing Zhang Yuan to enter the space during that time.

When she entered the restroom and locked the door before entering the space, she saw Zhang Yuan standing there with a dark face, exuding a fierce aura, his eyes blazing with rage as if he wanted to kill someone.

"You’re really brave! How dare you leave without telling me? Do you know how dangerous it is out there? You, a girl, so pretty, become a target for those up to no good, and you’re going back alone? Have I been too soft with you, making you think I wouldn’t be upset no matter what you did?" After a slew of words, Zhang Yuan stared at her intensely, demanding an answer.

Lin Xue was stunned by Zhang Yuan’s sudden temper and didn’t know what to say for the moment.

Zhang Yuan just stood there, staring at her intensely, the anger in his eyes very apparent.

Lin Xue suddenly felt nervous, "Brother Yuan, I... I’m still on the train and can’t afford the delay, so I’m stepping out first!" With that, she dashed out of the space.

This made Zhang Yuan feel very defeated. Initially, he was worried about her safety, not allowing her to go out for fear of her being discovered, but as she just exited, he felt even more helpless as it was already too late to chase after her with the train having departed so long ago, so he vented his anger by smashing things in the room.

This was the most irrational moment in his life; no matter how big the issue was before, he could always resolve it calmly. Yet, dealing with matters involving this young girl, he lost control, both angry and worried, waking up the elderly couple.
