An Ning and An Guoping needed to transfer trains. The first leg of their journey was several hours long, and since it wasn't the departure station, they could only get hard-seat tickets.
And they had to pull some strings just to get those two hard seats.

"I definitely will, Sis!"
An Guoping didn't catch the underlying meaning. He followed behind An Ning, and the more he walked, the more he thought about it, and the more something felt off.
"Sis—were you calling me dumb?"
