Chapter 569 A man... a man?!
Chapter 569 A man... a man?!
Under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be much of a safety risk for a grown man like Ge Shaoting traveling alone, so the sudden appearance of someone following him was quite unexpected.
After carefully examining his past experiences, he thought about his background to some extent, and of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that he was an enemy who had come from Hong Kong.
He believed that his handsome appearance was the reason why people could notice him from 300 meters away, so changing his appearance was of utmost importance.
Of course, he didn't undergo a complete makeover in the guesthouse, and besides, he couldn't possibly have such masterful makeup skills.
We checked into a room and settled in. Then we inquired about trains to Henan Province, bought tickets, and prepared some clothes.
After getting a good night's rest, and making sure no one was following him, he checked out of the room and went to the train station ahead of time, where he tidied himself up in the bathroom.
In the stinking cubicle, Ge Shaoting awkwardly held a small mirror with the Double Happiness symbol printed on it. His lewd and awkward posture deterred several people who wanted to use the toilet, who were afraid that this pervert would harass them.
Ge Shaoting ignored all of this, focusing instead on carefully examining himself in the mirror and quickly starting to fidget with his hands.
There was nothing he could do; he had been holding his breath the whole time, and after a while, he started to feel dizzy. He didn't know if it was from lack of oxygen or from inhaling too much ammonia and getting poisoned, but he was about to give up.
Ge Shaoting is good-looking. He took great care of himself in Hong Kong. He is fair-skinned, handsome, tall, and his thin, muscular physique appears weak and refined under his clothes. In terms of temperament, he is fundamentally different from the image of mainland Chinese men.
It's almost July now, and wearing more clothes to make himself look stronger is obviously not an option. The biggest change Ge Shaoting could think of was to darken all the exposed skin on his face and body, and with his newly cut buzz cut, he finally didn't look so jarring, but his handsomeness was still there.
This was a change he made based on Zhou Yichen's appearance, because they both have three-dimensional facial contours and strong facial features, which makes them look very aggressive.
Unable to be as robust, steady, and masculine as most Chinese people, he can only try his best to neutralize his own characteristics.
After a hurried glance at the blackened area of his body, and seeing that no one had seen anything fake, Ge Shaoting grabbed the mirror and fled from the bathroom as if in a panic.
The air was much fresher outside, but his clothes were still soaked in the stench; he could smell the stench of feces as soon as he looked down.
"vomit--"
He finally couldn't hold back and started retching.
His body reacted to the stress and he started sweating. He could still manage to sweat on his body, but he couldn't wash his face. He tried his best to hold back from vomiting and took out his water bottle to drink some water to calm himself down.
It was only then that I remembered he had taken the kettle into the restroom, and even though he hadn't used it, his hands must have smelled terrible...
"vomit--"
Just thinking about it made Ge Shaoting feel nauseous again. The physiological tears caused by nausea made his eyes slightly red. Even though his skin was dark, he still gave people a delicate and frail feeling.
Among the people coming and going, some came up out of kindness to ask a few words of concern, while others, having witnessed his perverted behavior, kept their distance. But there were still some whose hearts were pounding with a burning, restless desire.
Unable to bear the stench any longer, Ge Shaoting hid in the toilet and quickly washed his hands with water from the kettle before rushing out again in less than a minute.
After all that back and forth, even though he arrived early, it was already time for him to board the train.
The train he was on didn't go directly to his destination. He first had to travel for about forty hours to reach the capital of Henan Province, and then transfer to other trains. The journey involved crossing five provinces and stopping at more than forty stations, making the whole trip very arduous.
Because he wasn't eligible, he couldn't buy a sleeper ticket and had to awkwardly push and shove with passengers carrying large bags and squeeze with elderly people carrying livestock, until he finally managed to find his seat.
"Huh...huh..."
After taking a few deep breaths, Ge Shaoting felt a slight sense of grievance as he sat down. Without making a sound, he moved his feet, which were sore from being stepped on, and looked down to see the messy shoe prints on his shoes.
hiss!
It hurts.
"Comrade, are you alright? Why don't you wipe yourself off?"
There was a female voice above him, but Ge Shaoting didn't pay any attention to it. At this time, everyone was busy finding a place and it was very chaotic. He just thought it was the person next to him talking.
"Comrade? Comrade?"
It wasn't until someone touched his shoulder that Ge Shaoting frowned and looked up, only to see a woman with a half-ponytail and a polka-dot dress. Her face was flushed, and when she saw Ge Shaoting looking at her, she smiled shyly and handed him a handkerchief, saying, "I saw your shoes are dirty, let me wipe them for you."
Ge Shaoting frowned even more, immediately suspecting that the woman had ulterior motives, or was even using a pretense to get close to him.
He immediately turned his gaze back without expression, saying, "No need, thank you."
He was unyielding, and the woman blushed even more after being rejected. Her face turned bright red, almost to the point of bleeding, and her eyes welled up with tears, making her look like she was about to cry.
"What's wrong with you? It's one thing for a woman to be concerned about you and not appreciate it, but why are you sitting here shamelessly? Don't you know you should give way to a woman? Get up and let her sit down!"
Sitting opposite Ge Shaoting, a young man who looked to be in his early twenties suddenly spoke up, quite indignantly.
Ge Shaoting looked at him but didn't move. "Doesn't she have a place of her own?"
The train was about to depart, and most of the people around him were already seated. Suddenly, a woman stood next to him. They did look like a couple, but they weren't. Why should he give up his seat?
Cold and ruthless, Ge Shaoting's words were incredibly hurtful to the woman. She had come all the way to offer her concern after seeing his foot stepped on, so how could he be so ungrateful?
The woman bit her lip, her voice filled with grievance.
"Of course I have a place here. I only came to see you out of concern. Do you have to be so indifferent?"
Ge Shaoting had a terrible day; his gentlemanly demeanor was just for show. He was so frustrated he wanted to hit someone.
But he can't do anything rash now, otherwise if he gets arrested by the police, his entire trip to the mainland will be ruined.
Suppressing his temper, he simply took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his feet haphazardly, and tossed it aside. Then, he crossed his arms, lowered his head, and closed his eyes.
Although he didn't say anything, everyone who witnessed it understood the same thing—get lost!
He was telling that woman to get lost.
"Waaaaah, are you even a man? You're still bullying women!"
The woman's face flushed red from being stared at, and finally, unable to stand it any longer, she stomped her foot and left.
As everyone watched her head straight to the next carriage, they realized she wasn't a passenger in that carriage and didn't even know the cold-faced man. They all clicked their tongues in amazement.
Some say the woman is unreserved, while others say that Ge Shaoting's good looks make him prone to attracting women.
The young man sitting opposite Ge Shaoting understood what was going on and felt a little embarrassed. However, seeing that Ge Shaoting seemed unwilling to talk to him, he didn't say anything more and sat quietly without moving.
Ge Shaoting listened to the surrounding people's discussions but just closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, as if what they were saying had nothing to do with him.
Finally, the train slowly started moving.
Amidst the slight clattering and shaking, just as he was drifting off to sleep, a hand suddenly appeared on his right thigh, and in the midst of its unintentional caress, it began to move towards his groin.
Ge Shaoting got goosebumps all over his body, and his hair stood on end as if he were being electrocuted. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and stared intently at his side, then froze in surprise.
A man... a man?!
