Shen Juan took the fare difference from the young man in the lower bunk across from her and thanked him before she climbed up to her upper bunk to organize her things.
She didn't feel like sleeping anymore and started chatting with Luo Qiao.
Through their conversation, Luo Qiao learned that Shen Juan had been attending her cousin's wedding and was now taking the train directly to Capital City to help her sister-in-law take care of the kids for a while and to get familiar with Capital City in advance.
After chatting for a while, the lights in the train dimmed, and they each went to sleep.
The next day, Luo Qiao woke up early and used the excuse of going to the bathroom to slip into her space. She tidied herself up and, upon returning, saw that Second Brother Luo Xuyuan had already gotten down from his bunk.
Luo Qiao nudged Shen Juan, who was still sound asleep, and said, "Get up and pack your things; we'll be arriving at the station soon."
