"Ideals?"
The steam-emitting train advanced along the tracks on the plains, passing through several checkpoints, stopping at the border platform of Chenfeng once. Passengers who had been waiting since daylight quickly filled the other half of the empty carriage as night fell.
This train could travel through Chenfeng District unimpeded, not only due to an agreement on paper, but more because both sides needed to send people to Yanjing.
The swaying carriage made it hard to sleep, and the first departure from home was exhilarating. The train only had soft seats, no soft sleepers. The four girls who met for the first time had a friendly dinner, quickly grew closer, and seemed to have endless topics to talk about, as if they had known each other for a long time.
