Back in the Republic of China time and space, Mu Yang appeared in the Nationalist restaurant room. It was still early evening, so Mu Yang chose to eat and sleep directly. Tomorrow, he could pick up Ke Juns sister and leave. Mu Yang slept with a happy heart.

  The next morning, after getting up and washing, he put on a new suit and walked to the commercial street. Seeing that the tailors shop was already open, Mu Yang knocked on the door frame before entering.

  "Coming, coming," Wu tailor shouted and walked out, seeing it was Mu Yang, a smile immediately appeared on his face, saying: "Its Mr. Mu who has arrived, please come in, please come in."

  Then he turned around and rushed upstairs, saying, "Tell Ke Jun at home that Mr. Mu has arrived." After finishing speaking, he sat down beside Mu Yang and chatted with him.

  "Mr. Mu, you are indeed a good girl, we just learned the news this morning and were quite surprised, but even more delighted that you have found such a suitable husband as yourself, you are truly a lucky girl." Wu tailors words flattered both sides.

  "We fell in love at first sight, but it was a bit hasty. Im taking Kejun away from Tianjin today, so she came back last night to say goodbye to you and Wu Lan. Kejun said that during her time studying in Tianjin, you all took great care of her. Speaking of which, since we met here at your place, youre also half a matchmaker!" Mu Yang said with a smile.

  "Its a bit hasty, but women are like that. Once theyve found a good place to settle down, theyll follow the man wherever he goes. In todays world, its still best to find a peaceful place to live." said Wu the tailor.

  "Nowadays, where can one find a peaceful place?" Murong Yang sighed, thinking of the current situation in China.

  "Alas, where is a safe place?" Wu Cai sighed and then fell silent, perhaps thinking of what had happened at their home yesterday.

  Time was not long, the sound of stairs rang out, Xia Kejun walked down from upstairs with a gentle pace, and Wu Lan followed behind her.

  Today, Xia Kejun was not wearing a school uniform, but a brown short-sleeved cheongsam with a white knitted sweater over it. Her face had light makeup on and her hair was styled up, making her look slightly older than she actually was, more mature, and even prettier.

  Mu Yang couldnt help but take a deep look at her, and then Xia Kejun said: "Big Brother Mu is here."

  "Are you ready?" Murong asked softly.

  "Everything is ready," Xia Kejun said.

  At this time, Wu Lan first put the small suitcase in her hand on the table, and then said to Mu Yang: "Mu brother, I know you are a good person. Now that Jun has followed you, you must take care of her well. You are now her only reliance, okay, Mu brother?"

  Wu Lan said in a tone that was almost pleading, "Shu Yang believes that if it were someone else, and not herself who had saved them yesterday, Wu Lans straightforward personality would never have spoken in such a tone. She would probably have stood with her hands on her hips and said loudly, If our familys Ke Jun suffered even the slightest grievance, just you wait and see me settle accounts with you."

  "Mu Yang smiled and said: Dont worry, Miss Wu, I will definitely take good care of Ke Jun, let her eat well and dress warmly, and not let her suffer any grievances."

  Goodbyes are always inevitable. Mu Yang carried Xia Kejuns small suitcase, looking at Xia Kejun and Wu Lan embracing each other, truly lamenting that in this era, a temporary separation could become an eternal farewell.

  Reluctant to part, they eventually had to leave. Xia Kejun followed Mu Yang for a long distance, occasionally turning back to wave goodbye.

  "Wulan shouted loudly from afar: Kejun, you must live a happy life."

  Xia Kejun left, Wu Lan cried like a tearful person. Wu Cai and his wife stood by their daughter, watching Wu Lan cry sadly. Wu Lans mother said: "Kejun is usually gentle and quiet, but she is decisive when doing things. Once she makes up her mind, she takes action without hesitation. Lanlan, look at Kejun now that she has found her soulmate... when will you..."

  "Mom, youre here again." Before she could finish speaking, Wu Lan interrupted her.

  "You cant always avoid finding a husband, look at Ke Jun, shes studying better than you. Now that shes found someone she likes, shes stopped her studies. If I were to say, you shouldnt go to school either. The outside world is chaotic and your father and I are worried. Just stay home and be at ease, later mom will find a good husband for you."

  "I wont bother with you anymore." Wu Lan said as she saw Xia Kejun walk far away, then returned to the tailors shop.

  Muyang took Xiaokejun to the intersection, hailed two rickshaws and went straight to Tianjin Railway Station.

  At this time, Tianjins train station, or the entire Chinese railway, was almost all controlled by the Japanese. First, it was used to meet their military needs, and then they would consider passenger transportation. Yesterday, Muyang asked the hotel service staff to book two train tickets to Zhangjiakou for him.

  Its really rare for a national restaurant to have this service, he originally just wanted to ask about the current train situation, but unexpectedly, the waiter said they had a ticket booking service for guests, no wonder the National Restaurant was one of the top restaurants in Tianjin at that time, this service is first-class.

  Xia Kejun quietly followed behind, occasionally glancing at the tall figure in front of her. Although she knew that this decision was somewhat impulsive, she also knew that this might be one of her few opportunities and she had to seize it. Moreover, she felt a genuine curiosity and admiration for the man in front of her.

  He felt that Mu Yang was mysterious, and at a young age, he dared to take risks alone and successfully killed the Japanese general. Moreover, among so many Japanese people, he escaped safely.

  Now shes following him, and its likely that shell be with him for the rest of her life. Thinking about this, Xia Kejun cant help but feel a slight flush on her face. Yesterday, when she said those words of devotion, was it really just to repay his kindness?

  The train station was crowded, and Mu Yang was afraid of getting separated from Xia Kejun, so he naturally stretched out his left hand to grab Xia Kejuns right hand. But after grabbing that small, slippery hand, Mu Yang only then realized how natural it had felt for him to do so, without any hesitation at all.

  Had he already made up his mind in his heart that Xia Kejun was his own woman, no matter what, now that he had caught her, he wouldnt let go easily. Then, Mu Yang tried to make himself appear natural, not looking at Xia Kejun, and walked straight towards the train.

  The moment her hand was caught by Mu Yang, Xia Kejun was startled and wanted to struggle free, but when she realized it was Mu Yang, she stopped her movements and followed his footsteps forward.

  The train station seemed to become less noisy at this moment, the crowd in front of her also seemed to automatically divide into two sides, and only Mu Yangs figure was left in front of her.

  There is no direct train from Tianjin to Zhangjiakou. You need to take a train to Beijing first, then transfer to the Jingzhang Railway and finally arrive at Zhangjiakou.

  And this is also the fastest way to Zhangjiakou, and its also the most comfortable way.

  The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway is the first railway built by Chinas most famous railway construction expert, Zhan Tianyou. It has been in use ever since and was later renamed the Beijing-Baotou Railway.
