Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 998

Chapter 998: Who Is That Boy?
By diluting the space water with the normal water, the water would taste better, more refreshing, and can reduce their fatigue. Moreover, since everyone was used to drinking tonic wine, they wouldn’t suspect anything unusual about the water at all.

Not long after she finished refilling the bamboo bottles, Father Li and Dong Li woke up.

Sitting on the bed, Father Li looked out the window and saw the sunrise. After stretching his body, he asked, “Third son, how much longer until we arrive in the Capital?”

Li Chenmo calculated for a moment before saying, “Father, we should arrive in the capital in five to seven hours.”

Nodding his head, Father Li sat for a while to regain his senses.

When Dong Li climbed down from the upper bunk bed, he said, “Good morning, Father, Mother, Grandpa.”

“Good morning. Xiao Li, can you accompany Grandpa to the bathroom?” Father Li asked.

“Yes, Grandpa.”

Before they left the cabin, Lu Jueyu handed a towel to her son and said, “Be careful and watch your surroundings.”

“Mother, please rest assured. I will take care of Grandpa,” Dong Li said, nodding as he took the towel.

After they left the cabin, Li Chenmo locked the door and said, “Wife, let’s go to your space.”

Lu Jueyu quickly pulled the curtain to block the window. Holding her husband’s hand, they entered the space together.

As soon as they appeared inside the space, they took a hot bath and brushed their teeth. They also changed their clothes and underwear. Fortunately, they had many clothes of the same color and design, so no one would realize they had changed their clothes.

Before they left the space, Lu Jueyu made fresh soy milk for her husband and said, “Husband, drink something to warm up your stomach first.”

Li Chenmo hugged his wife’s waist, kissed her forehead, and said, “Thank you, Wife.”

After they drank a glass of warm soy milk and ate a bowl of soup dumplings, they left the space and reappeared in the cabin. They spent almost two hours in space, yet it was not even two minutes outside. So, no one noticed that they had disappeared for a moment.

Lu Jueyu quickly opened the big bags and checked the food. Although the food she packed could be stored for a long time, the weather was hot, and she was afraid it would spoil.

Fortunately, the food was still in good condition. Since they were almost there, she put the food and snacks into her space, leaving enough for breakfast and lunch. When she was done, she opened the curtain and waited for her father-in-law and son to return.

Outside the cabin, Father Li and Dong Li were waiting for their turn to use the bathroom. Although the number of passengers in the sleeper carriage was not as high as in the other carriages, there was only one bathroom, and it wasn’t enough for so many people.

Fortunately, they woke up early and didn’t have to wait long. Ten minutes later, it was Father Li’s turn.

Dong Li handed the towel to his grandfather and said, “Grandpa, use this to wipe your body.”

When the people behind them heard this, they frowned and said, “Hey, don’t waste water. We need it to flush the toilet.”

Hearing this, Father Li shook his head and said, “Xiao Li, let’s not wipe our bodies. Just relieve ourselves and go back.”

Although Dong Li was unhappy with the other passengers, he said nothing and listened to his grandfather.

When they finished using the bathroom, they returned to the cabin and walked past a man who looked at them with narrowed eyes. Noticing the man’s ill intentions, Dong Li narrowed his eyes and stared at him coldly.

Despite his young age, he had experienced many life-and-death situations when he had gone into the mountains to find food before he was adopted by the Li family. Therefore, there is a murderous aura in him.

With the addition of his father’s daily rigorous training, his body and temperament have undergone great changes. His aura was equivalent to a young soldier.

At that moment, his nearly 160 cm height put a lot of pressure on the man who was taller than him. They locked gazes for a moment before the man shifted his gaze, avoiding Dong Li’s stare with fear.

Seeing that the man didn’t dare to do anything to them, Dong Li took another glance at him before entering the cabin.

When the cabin door closed, the man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered under his breath, “Who is that boy? How could he have such a murderous aura at such a young age?”

Back in the sleeper cabin, Dong Li returned the towel to his mother and said, “Mother, there was no water in the bathroom. So, we didn’t wipe our bodies.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu sighed and said nothing. It was a problem with hygiene in this era, their trains didn’t have enough water. Fortunately, she could go into her space to relieve herself when her son and father-in-law went to the bathroom.

To avoid suspicion, she and her husband would leave the cabin every few hours with the excuse of using the bathroom. Seeing how tired her son was, she took out a bamboo bottle and poured some water onto the towel.

After she felt that the towel was wet enough to wipe her son and father-in-law’s face, she handed it to her father-in-law and said, “Father, here. You can use it to wipe your face.”

Father Li accepted the towel and said, “Thank you, Third Daughter-in-law.”

After he wiped his face, Father Li felt refreshed and let out a sigh. Since they had limited water, he didn’t wipe his body and handed the towel to his grandson, “Xiao Li, wipe your face too.”

Dong Li took the wet towel and smiled, “Thank you, Grandpa.”

Unlike his grandfather, Dong Li wiped his body after he wiped his face. He was used to always cleaning himself and was no longer accustomed to the sticky feeling of not taking a bath.
