Chapter 373: Just Buy Whatever You Think Is Good
Jiang Ran picked up the storybook placed to the side and began to tell Pei Jing the story again.
She had just started speaking when someone across from her said, "You—"
Jiang Ran paused and looked at the man who had spoken.
The man’s words were intercepted by the elder.
"Xiao Wang, keep quiet."
The man referred to as Xiao Wang hesitated and looked at Jiang Ran, his brows furrowed tightly, clearly wanting to say something, but held back by the elder.
After stopping Xiao Wang, the elder turned to Jiang Ran, "It’s alright, you can continue."
Jiang Ran glanced at the two of them briefly, then calmly looked away.
Having lived for two lifetimes, Jiang Ran had seen all kinds of people because of her profession.
She had already understood the relationship between these three people from the moment they entered.
Among the three, the elder was evidently the leader, while the two young men beside him were responsible for the elder’s safety and daily care.
It could be inferred that the elder’s status was likely unusual.
Xiao Wang frowned instinctively when he saw Pei Jing, clearly not fond of Pei Jing, simply because Pei Jing was a child.
This dislike wasn’t directed at Pei Jing personally but rather aimed at his age.
Moreover, just as she began to tell the story, Xiao Wang tried to interrupt her, clearly wanting to stop her.
Through these various gestures, it was apparent that the elder’s health was not good and required peace and quiet.
Jiang Ran, having noticed, couldn’t pretend otherwise.
Traveling involves mutual convenience; making it easier for others means making it easier for oneself.
Last time she took the train, she met some difficult people and couldn’t rest well.
This time, she didn’t want her group of three to be seen as difficult by others.
Thinking this, Jiang Ran looked at Pei Jing, "Little Jing, let’s speak softly when we talk, so we don’t disturb others, alright?"
Pei Jing is a very well-behaved child; after attending kindergarten for so long, he had become even more polite.
Upon hearing Jiang Ran’s words, Pei Jing nodded obediently, "Okay."
When he spoke, he already lowered his voice.
He spoke quietly, with a soft tone, sounding both obedient and adorable.
Jiang Ran patted Pei Jing’s head and then began to tell him the story.
Jiang Ran purposely lowered and slowed her voice.
The small carriage was not big, so even if she spoke softly, the people on the opposite bunk would still be able to hear.
But also, she couldn’t remain completely silent just for their sake.
Jiang Ran and Pei Yang were adults and could restrain themselves, but Pei Jing was young, demanding him not to talk was too much.
Jiang Ran felt that what she and Pei Jing had managed was the greatest effort.
Not looking at the elder’s group, she naturally missed the elder’s smile and Xiao Wang’s slightly relaxed expression.
Jiang Ran told Pei Jing another story, which naturally included answering Pei Jing’s various questions.
The story session lasted over an hour.
The time had just reached lunchtime.
At that moment, Pei Yang climbed down from the upper bunk, took a lunchbox from the middle bed, and said to Jiang Ran, "Sister-in-law, I’m going to get some food, anything you want?"
Jiang Ran shook her head, "You decide what to buy."
Pei Yang acknowledged and left with the lunchbox.
Right after Pei Yang left, Xiao Wang from across also took out his lunchbox and went out.
