Chapter 21: Teacher

Seeing the light dim instantly, Chen Sixuan immediately knelt and crawled into the driver's cabin, using the light from Lin Xian's mobile phone to confirm the train's mileage.

Then she returned to the corner, took out the notebook, and while trembling, seriously recorded with a pen:

"Day 1, departed from Jiang City, driving time 50 minutes, driving distance 54 kilometers, daylight time 16:00, nightfall time 18:45."

Chen Sixuan's eyes trembled constantly. She was on the verge of collapse, as if possessed. She deliberately tried not to think about what was happening outside.

Don't think about Lin Xian, don't think about the family of three, don't think about the darkness outside the train, don't think about the death she was about to face...

Just then, the gate of the driver's cabin opened automatically, and the lights in the corridor came on, scaring Chen Sixuan so much that she sat on the ground.

The cabin door opened, and Lin Xian, covered in blood, climbed in with a short knife in a leap. Chen Sixuan was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to close the gate and lock it tightly. In order not to let the light in the passage be exposed to the darkness, she got up again to close the small door leading to the driver's cabin.

"Lin classmate... are you alright?" In the carriage, Chen Sixuan knelt and sat down, looking at Lin Xian, who was covered in wounds, with astonishment.

"I won't die." Lin Xian picked up a bottle of water from behind, unscrewed the cap, gulped down half the bottle, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing him covered in blood, Chen Sixuan immediately took out a towel to wipe him, but was grabbed by the wrist by Lin Xian.

"Ah... what's wrong?"

Chen Sixuan raised her head in surprise, seeing Lin Xian looking straight at her, his eyes full of coldness, and asked her in a questioning tone,

"Why didn't you open the door just now?"

Lin Xian had actually climbed up a while ago. He was injured and knew that Da Fei's group would definitely leave before dark, so he hid on the hillside for a while, and by the way, looked for his short knife.

Chen Sixuan looked up at him. Seeing his serious expression, she couldn't help biting her lower lip, lowered her brows, and was silent for a while before saying,

"If I had opened the door, would you have thrown me out too?"

"Yes."

Lin Xian's tone was like ice.

Chen Sixuan's expression dimmed. Hearing Lin Xian's words, she leaned against the wall as if deflated, closed her eyes in pain, and silent tears flowed down.

Lin Xian sighed lightly. Looking at Chen Sixuan crying, he said,

"I understand that you couldn't bear it."

"We are all human. For the refusal to save our own kind, as long as we have kindness in our hearts, we will definitely be in pain."

Hearing his words, Chen Sixuan finally had an emotional breakdown, threw herself into Lin Xian's arms, her shoulders twitching, and her sobbing gradually turned into wailing.

She cried incredibly sadly, without any image, just like a child who had made a mistake.

"I really don't know what to do..."

Lin Xian gently held her delicate body and said in a deep voice, "There is a saying in Buddhism: to save others, one must first save oneself; to save oneself, one must first save one's heart. If heaven does not save you, you must save yourself. If you cannot even protect yourself, it is impossible to protect anyone. If you had opened the door, not only would the three of them have died, but you would have died too, and even brought me down with you."

"I know..." Chen Sixuan cried, her face pear-blossom-like in the rain, her eyes full of self-blame and guilt. "But I heard the baby crying. That baby seemed to be only a few months old..."

Women naturally carry maternal brilliance. At this moment, Chen Sixuan felt as if she had become a demon.

Lin Xian didn't change his expression. Looking at Chen Sixuan's near-collapse, he sighed lightly and said,

"If I tell you that all of this is fake, what would you think?"

Chen Sixuan was buried in Lin Xian's arms, sobbing constantly. Hearing Lin Xian's words, her crying stopped, and she slowly raised her head, looking at Lin Xian with misty eyes.

"You... what did you say?"

Lin Xian's gaze tightened, and he explained,

"We are at Yushan Station. Even without a car, the best choice is to hide in the station. As a result, that group of people just left, and this family of three ran over to knock on the door. The purpose was too obvious. And... I have never seen a mother so cruel that she could pinch her child until it cried!"

Chen Sixuan's pupils trembled violently upon hearing this, her tears flickering, and her face was full of disbelief.

"You mean, they were... lying?"

Lin Xian smiled helplessly.

"Chen Laoshi, you should have heard the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf.' If I'm not mistaken, this 'family of three' was specially used by that group to knock on doors." In the apocalypse, everyone is for themselves. Using other people's sympathy is indeed an effective means.

And this situation, Lin Xian had just experienced it once yesterday...

Hearing Lin Xian's words, Chen Sixuan covered her mouth in disbelief.

She thought of Director Liang again and felt a chill all over, feeling that she was too naive. At this moment, she finally witnessed what true human evil was!

Chen Sixuan felt a bit weak, her eyes lost focus.

Lin Xian glanced at her. It had to be said that Chen Sixuan's performance made him very gratified.

He knew the human evil in doomsday survival. If Chen Sixuan had a saint's heart, even if she just begged him to open the door to help, he would have abandoned Chen Sixuan without hesitation.

Such a teammate, how could he feel at ease letting her guard the train?

But after this incident, he had a subtle change in his view of Chen Sixuan.

Growing such courage in a short time from a pampered white-rich-beauty on campus showed that she was not only an extremely smart woman but also had extraordinary character. Honestly, Lin Xian had some admiration for this woman at this moment.

"Am I too stupid?"

!

After a long silence, Chen Sixuan suddenly spoke.

Lin Xian shifted his posture and responded with a smile: "Very stupid and very naive."

Hearing Lin Xian's evaluation of her, Chen Sixuan looked self-deprecating and laughed silently.

Lin Xian had just experienced a life-and-death battle and was in pain all over. He looked at the corner where supplies were stored and asked, "Aren't you hungry? Why don't you eat something?"

Chen Sixuan widened her eyes upon hearing this and answered very seriously,

"You... you didn't allow me to eat."

Lin Xian's gaze fell strangely on Chen Sixuan, and it was hard to say whether it was a smile or surprise in his eyes.

"Chen Laoshi, you are really cute."

"What do you mean?" Chen Sixuan looked confused.

"I mean, Chen Laoshi, I want to sleep with you now."

"Ah...?"

Lin Xian's words caught Chen Sixuan off guard. Before she could react, she was pulled into his arms by Lin Xian.

She was as panicked as a rabbit and said repeatedly,

"Wait... wait, Lin classmate, aren't you injured?"

"Ah, does it have to be now..."

"Wait a minute, you're covered in blood..."

"Lin Xian, Teacher, I... have no experience..."

"Ah... wait, wait, I have that in my bag..."

The night was like ink, and white snow was flying.

However, at this moment, the girl sleeping on the sofa not far away, clearly with her eyes closed, had her light eyebrows slowly wrinkle...
