He Qiu was on a train for the first time. He wanted to share the experience with his wife, but she wouldn’t even look at him. With her eyes narrowed in a feigned nap, he didn't dare disturb her.
In truth, Song Ziyun hadn't been on a train many times in her previous life either, and she was bursting with excitement. But being as proud and competitive as she was, how could she let anyone see that she was a country bumpkin? She couldn't even stand the look of naive wonder in He Qiu’s eyes, so she had to keep her eyes shut and pretend to sleep.
The two-hour journey ended quickly. Song Ziyun opened her eyes, and she and He Qiu followed the bustling crowd off the train. After walking for a while, the two were captivated by the prosperity of the big city. He Qiu felt like he didn't have enough eyes to take it all in. Looking at the clean streets, the pedestrians riding bicycles, and the traffic police in the middle of the road, he felt as though the previous decades of his life had been a total waste.
