To reach Cangyan Mountain, they needed to take a high-speed train and then transfer to a bus. The train ride would take over an hour. When Chu Zhi and her friends bought tickets, it was already late and only business class seats were left. Lu Jiaheng’s ticket seemed to have been bought by a friend,…

Lin Tong was following behind, eating a chocolate stick while texting, when she heard that sound and froze completely. Chu Zhi was also stunned.
