Steven quickly stood up and said to Miss Defoe: "Miss Defoe, it seems the train is ready to leave. Let's go to the platform and wait!"
Miss Defoe also stood up immediately, holding up her long skirt and preparing to follow Steven to the ticket check-in channel. Steven turned aside to let the woman go first. This was a civilized move in Grant Continent, and ladies were given priority.
Defoe also bowed politely to Steven and walked to the ticket check-in channel first, holding up his long skirt.
Soon the two came to the platform through the ticket check-in channel. The steam train had already stopped beside the platform. Miss Defoe offered to let Steven get on the train first. She wanted to wait to say goodbye to a friend who was seeing off.
Steven expected that the two of them would not be in the same box, so he said goodbye to her and walked to the car.
He followed the information on the ticket to the carriage where his box was located, jumped directly onto the train's steel ladder and entered the carriage.
The steam train is not much different from the old-fashioned internal combustion engine train of the previous life. After entering the carriage, there is a walkway with windows on one side and connected boxes on the other side. He found his box by comparing the ticket and pushed the door to one side to come in.
, the aisle was noisy at this time, and many passengers were also looking for their own boxes.
In the box, Steven took off his backpack and hung it on the hook on the side wall. He put the straight knife and hunting bow on his bed. Then he leaned back on the quilt at the end of the bed, picked up the newspaper and read the news, waiting for the train.
start.
At this time, there was only Steven in the box, and another passenger had not come in yet. However, it was possible that no passengers would come. There were not many travelers who could afford the box, and sometimes other beds would be available.
Steven read the newspaper for a while and estimated that the train was about to start. At this time, someone knocked lightly on the door of the box. Then the door was opened, and a beautiful figure entered the box from the outside of the door.
Miss Defoe saw Steven half lying on the bed and covered her mouth in surprise, and then said with a smile: "What a coincidence! Mr. Lin! I thought we would never see each other again! Who knew we would meet again so soon?
Together! It seems that we are still very destined!"
Steven thought to himself: Come on, come on, it would be really strange if there was no problem here!
He quickly sat up and said: "Ah! I didn't expect that Miss Defoe was also in this box. She is really destined to be here! This bed should be yours, please be more casual! There are some cumbersome etiquette in long-distance travel.
We can avoid it, what do you think?"
Miss Defoe nodded and smiled: "That's what I meant! You can do whatever you want, Mr. Lin!" After saying that, she put the exquisite leather bag on her bed, then sat on it and folded the quilt up.
He half-lyed on it again like Steven did just now.
Then Defoe said to Steven: "Mr. Lin, long distance travel makes people feel bored. Can you lend me the newspaper you have read? Thank you!"
Steven handed her a few newspapers he had read and said at the same time: "Of course! Now I regret not buying a few more newspapers or even a book or two to take on the train!"
Miss Defoe took the newspaper, raised her eyebrows and smiled after hearing Steven's words: "Mr. Lin is very humorous! Traveling on the train will be much more interesting with you!"
............
This young lady showed off her charm very smartly. While chatting with her, Steven observed her palms secretly. The skin on her palms was white and tender, without the thick calluses of warriors at all.
For example, Edith of Gray Wolf is also a very beautiful lady, but she has thick calluses on the tiger's mouth and at the base of her fingers. This is what a warrior must have. When he shook hands with Edith
It can be felt more intuitively.
However, Miss Defoe's palms did not have the kind of calluses that a warrior would have at all. Steven judged that the opponent was probably not a professional assassin. So what exactly is going on?
Everything that happened before was too coincidental. If he said it was just a coincidence, he wouldn't believe it.
Moreover, Steven felt no hostility from her at all, and did not even feel like being spied on. Steven frowned secretly. Now that the other party had no flaws at all, he could only look back. In short, he should be more vigilant.
.
Soon the train made a long whistle sound, and steam erupted from the front of the car and began to move forward slowly. Seeing the scenery outside the window receding from slow to fast, Steven turned his head and continued to read the newspaper, going on and on.
Chat with Miss Defoe.
Miss Defoe was secretly showing her charm and praising Steven along the way, and seemed to want to draw her relationship closer to Steven.
But Steven never showed a positive attitude and always maintained a distance that was neither distant nor close, which made Miss Defoe secretly grit her teeth.
Steven never refused to chat with her along the way, but they just talked about some useless nonsense. It seemed like the other party was in vain trying to get anything valuable out of him.
Soon it was lunch time. Miss Defoe invited Steven to go to the dining car for lunch. Steven declined politely. Watching Miss Defoe go out to eat, Steven took out the pumpernickel bread and dried meat from his backpack.
, and had a simple lunch with the water in the leather water bag.
After a while, Defoe entered the room from the outside and joked with some resentment that Steven refused to compensate Ms. Defoe for dinner. Steven immediately said that he would invite Miss Defoe to dinner. He was really not very hungry at noon and could not eat.
Just eat some dry food.
This woman turned into a happy expression. It seemed that dinner time was a key point. If the other party made any moves, they might take action during dinner.
By this time, the newspapers had all been read, and soon there was nothing to talk about between the two of them. Facing the unsociable Steven, Miss Defoe seemed to have lost interest in chatting, and was half-lying on the bed.
Start sleeping.
Just like this, the afternoon passed in a quiet atmosphere. Steven could just enter the state of rune visualization to improve his skills. He lay half on the bed and closed his eyes. It looked like he was taking a nap, but in fact he entered the rune visualization state.
status.
At the same time, he also maintained a high degree of vigilance, opening his senses and alerting himself to the surrounding environment. The focus was of course on the young lady on the bed opposite.
The train stopped at several stations along the way, and soon it was dinner time. Steven fulfilled his promise and invited Miss Defoe to have dinner with her, and she happily agreed to the invitation.
The two came to the dining car. At this time, many people were already eating in the car. Steven found an empty dining table and took Miss Defoe to the dining table. After she sat down, he followed her and sat on the chair.
, a waiter came over and handed them a menu.
Steven asked Miss Defoe to order first. The lady elegantly ordered a 5-point steak, a small fried fish, and a black bean soup. Steven ordered a 7-point steak, two.
A fried egg, a cup of milk and a large portion of black bean porridge.
Miss Defoe covered her lips and teased Steven about his good appetite, which was completely inconsistent with his elegant appearance and temperament. Steven explained that as a warrior, his appetite is actually normal.
