Chapter 637 An unexpected encounter on the high-speed train!
After returning to her seat, Tang Yan kept looking at Wang Xiucheng, whose head was partially visible through the gap in the seat.
It was still during the Spring Festival holiday, so there weren't many people on this high-speed train; it looked like only about 30% full.
Everyone else was either playing on their phones or sleeping, except for a few mischievous kids who were peering out the window at the white landscape unique to the North.
"What's wrong, sis?" The assistant next to Tang Yan suddenly asked, noticing her absent-minded look.
"It's nothing." Shaking her head, Tang Yan sat for a few more minutes before deciding to move to another spot.
Wang Xiucheng seemed to possess a magical power, drawing her involuntarily to his side.
It would have been better if she hadn't known. But when she found out that Wang Xiucheng was in the same carriage as her, and only a dozen meters away, she couldn't sit still any longer.
The two seats behind Wang Xiucheng were empty, and Tang Yan suddenly turned to her assistant and said, "Why don't you move forward a bit?"
"Huh?" The assistant was taken aback. "Isn't this place nice enough?"
Tang Yan had already stood up. Although the assistant muttered something, she also stood up and moved forward carrying a small package.
Although the flight attendant noticed Tang Yan's actions, she didn't pay any attention to them.
The carriage wasn't crowded, with plenty of empty seats. Since it was Chinese New Year, some passengers who didn't want to sit next to others moved to individual seats.
After sitting down, Tang Yan leaned against the window and looked at Wang Xiucheng's closed eyes reflected in the glass, and unconsciously smiled slightly.
Tang Yan was wondering whether she should take a picture and post it in the group chat to make her three girlfriends envious.
They often couldn't sleep at night and would fantasize about Wang Xiucheng, but when it came to serious matters, when it came to actually trying to get close to Wang Xiucheng, these girls would all fall silent, as if they had fallen asleep.
Tang Yan noticed a burly man sitting outside next to Wang Xiucheng staring at her.
Tang Yan knew this was Wang Xiucheng's bodyguard, and most likely an American, even though he had a Chinese face. "I'm Wang Xiucheng's friend," Tang Yan said, taking out her phone and showing the bodyguard a photo of herself with Wang Xiucheng from the Philippines World Cup.
Awen nodded, but remained vigilant.
A single photo proves nothing; even if she were just an ordinary fan, Wang Xiucheng would still take a photo with her.
Although this was China, not as dangerous as the United States, he still kept his eyes on the back row.
Xiao Dao, who was on the other side of the aisle, had already moved to the back row and sat behind Tang Yan, at a distance where he could stand up and grab her at any moment.
It seemed that the voice was a bit loud, which woke up Wang Xiucheng, who wasn't fully asleep to begin with.
"Who are you talking to?" Wang Xiucheng asked.
“One of your fans,” Awen said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiucheng turned around and looked at himself. He was dressed like this, yet he was still recognized?
Seeing Wang Xiucheng turn his head, Tang Yan's surprise flashed briefly before she pulled down her mask, revealing her delicate face.
"Sister Tang Tang?" Wang Xiucheng was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise.
After saying just one word, Wang Xiucheng subconsciously shut his mouth.
Tang Yan was also stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Wang Xiucheng to address her in that way.
But, it's pretty good.
"Go sit in the back," Wang Xiucheng said to Awen next to him, then looked at Tang Yan: "Sister Tang, come sit down. I'm feeling drowsy and just wondering who to talk to."
Ah Wen immediately stood up. "Okay, bro."
Tang Yan saw that Awen, who had been fierce and had no smile on his face before, now stood up obediently and went to sit down at the back.
Tang Yan put her mask back on and bent down to sit next to Wang Xiucheng.
"Wait a minute," Wang Xiucheng said, then took a cushion from his back and placed it on Tang Yan's seat. "Sister Tang, please sit down."
"Sister Tang is going to Dalian?" Wang Xiucheng asked when he saw Tang Yan sit down.
"I'm going to Shenyang to participate in the recording of Shenyang TV's Lantern Festival Gala." Tang Yan first shook her head, then said easily, "I'll get off at the next stop. They will arrange a car to pick me up. It may take another two or three hours to get there."
"I was wondering why a businessman like you would come all the way to the Northeast." Wang Xiucheng chuckled, without asking Tang Yan why she didn't take a plane.
"What about you?"
"I'm going to Dalian to see a friend I haven't seen for a while."
"By the way, I've seen a lot of videos saying that you're not participating in the All-Star game because you're injured?"
"No, I just wanted to come back and rest for a few days."
The two chatted quietly, but since they had few things in common, the silences between them gradually grew longer.
After finally bringing up a topic again, the two remained silent for two or three minutes.
Just as Tang Yan was about to say something again, her shoulder suddenly felt a slight thud.
She turned her head and saw that Wang Xiucheng had fallen asleep again at some point, his head resting on her shoulder.
Wang Xiucheng was originally sitting by the window, which put him some distance from Tang Yan, so at this moment, he was able to sit right next to her.
Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, then a blush appeared on her face.
She didn't move, nor did she have any intention of waking Wang Xiucheng.
For some reason, her face tilted slightly towards Wang Xiucheng.
The instant contact made her heart pound like a deer.
She hadn't felt this way in many years.
For a good ten minutes or so, when Tang Yan tried to sneak a peek at Wang Xiucheng again, she was surprised to find that Wang Xiucheng, who was leaning on her shoulder, had drool on his lips.
Tang Yan almost burst out laughing. Who would have thought that Wang Xiucheng, the biggest star in China, would drool in his sleep!
Tang Yan took out her phone while keeping her shoulders as still as possible, and then took a selfie with Wang Xiucheng.
One of the photos even included Wang Xiucheng's drool.
It seems the high-speed train has reached a turning point; as its speed decreases significantly, the train also experiences some centrifugal force.
This woke Wang Xiucheng up again.
As he opened his eyes, Wang Xiucheng subconsciously wiped his mouth, and then remembered his current situation.
"Sorry, I haven't adjusted to the time difference yet," Wang Xiucheng said somewhat awkwardly, before noticing the handiwork he had left on Tang Yan's shoulder.
He quickly found some tissues and started wiping himself. Wang Xiucheng was also helpless; why didn't his sister call him at all?
"I can do it myself." Tang Yan wiped her face, then suddenly said softly, somewhat disappointed, "I'm getting off the bus in ten minutes. Can I have your phone number?"
"Of course, I originally wanted to ask for Sister Tangtang's phone number and WeChat, but I fell asleep."
They took out their phones, exchanged numbers, added each other on WeChat, and were getting closer and closer to Tang Yan's destination.
Although there was already a photo of her with Wang Xiucheng, it was taken while Wang Xiucheng was asleep, and he was wearing a mask and hat.
So Tang Yan said again, "Let's take a picture together."
