Chapter 952 Doubt
After the woman bought the lunch box, she said to the upper bunk on Su Xing's side, "Are you coming down to eat?"
A male voice came from above Su Xing's head, "I'm not going down, just pass the food to me."
The woman stood up, holding the child in one hand and holding the lunch box in the other hand and passed it to the upper bunk.
When Su Xing first got on the bus, no one had gotten up on the upper bunk on her side yet. When she went to the dining car and came back, there were already passengers on it.
However, she didn't see what the person on the upper bunk looked like, she just knew it was a man.
When Su Xing saw the woman passing a lunch box to the upper bunk, she couldn't help but look up, a little worried that the soup in the lunch box would spill.
Fortunately, the other party received it steadily.
She hoped that person wouldn't drip soup when eating.
After the woman gave the lunch box to the man, she placed the child in her arms on the middle bunk above Su Xing.
Su Xing was a little confused. Are they a couple with a child?
It’s not very convenient for them to stay in the middle and upper bunks with their children, right?
After putting the child down, the woman sat back on the single chair by the window, opened her lunch box and started eating.
The man on the upper bunk ate very quickly, and when he was done he called out to the woman, "Hey! Take it!"
The woman put down her chopsticks, took the man's empty lunch box and chopsticks, and continued eating.
Su Xing felt that the way this couple got along was a little strange and a little awkward.
After finishing her meal, the woman took two empty lunch boxes and stood up to throw away the garbage at the connection between the carriages.
The child had been sleeping soundly on the middle bunk, showing no signs of waking up.
Soon, the woman came back after throwing away the garbage.
The girl sitting next to her asked casually, "Sister, how old is your child?"
The woman said vaguely, "Over one year old."
Su Xing raised his eyebrows. Usually when people ask mothers how old their children are, many mothers with such young children will subconsciously answer the number of months.
Su Xing also said: "Sister, doesn't your baby eat dinner or drink milk powder? Why does he sleep all the time?"
The woman said, "He was so busy last night that he didn't sleep at all. Today, he will sleep a little longer."
At this time, a man's voice came from the upper bunk again, "Let him sleep, otherwise he will wake up and disturb everyone."
Su Xing: “Is that so…”
The woman stood up again, "I'll go make him some milk powder and give it to him when he wakes up."
She began to search busily in the middle bunk.
After a while, she dug out a bottle and a can of milk powder.
She scooped a few spoonfuls of milk powder into the bottle, closed the can, and then went to the hot water tank to get hot water.
A moment later, the woman returned, shaking the bottle.
Su Xing took a look at the bottle in her hand and found that it was almost full of water, with some lumps of milk powder hanging on the wall of the bottle.
Su Xing frowned slightly. Is this how milk powder is prepared?
The girl who had spoken before also spoke up again: "You're making so much milk powder, can your baby finish it?"
The woman paused while shaking the milk powder, then said, "The lights will be turned off soon, so it will be inconvenient to make milk powder. I will just make more for her at once."
Su Xing and the girl looked at each other.
The woman shook the bottle for a while and then put it on the middle bunk.
At this time, Su Xing said, "Sister, it's inconvenient for you to sleep in the middle bunk with the child, right? Do you want me to switch seats with you?"
The woman was stunned and looked down at Su Xing. When she met Su Xing's eyes, her gaze was slightly evasive.
Then she waved her hand and said, "No, no, we can just stay in the middle bunk, no need to change."
Su Xing, "Okay then."
When she heard the woman's refusal, she felt more confused and wary.
Generally speaking, if a mother who takes such a young child out fails to book a lower berth, she would also hope that someone else would switch with her, right?
At this moment, the mother and daughter on the opposite bunk snorted coldly.
The middle-aged woman said sarcastically: "Now you want to change seats with others, but unfortunately they don't need you."
Her daughter also made a "tsk" sound and rolled her eyes at Su Xing.
The girl sitting by the window then said, "It's someone else's berth. I can switch with whoever I want. Why do you have so many opinions?"
The middle-aged woman glared at the girl, "You're everywhere! You keep talking too much!"
The girl laughed and said, "Not as many as you."
The mother and daughter were both angry, and looked like they wanted to argue with the girl.
Suddenly, the young man's voice came from the upper bunk, "Enough! Mom, sister, can you guys stop talking!"
After being yelled at by the man, the mother and daughter calmed down a little, but they were still mumbling curses under their breath.
Su Xing frowned and said coldly to the mother and daughter: "Shut up! You are talking dirty! Do you have any manners?"
"You!" The middle-aged woman stood up.
"Mom! Come on! Can you please stop embarrassing yourself in front of others?" Her son's impatient voice came from the upper bunk again.
The middle-aged woman's chest heaved with anger, but she cared about her son's face. She glared at Su Xing fiercely and sat down again.
It was past eight o'clock and many people in the carriage went to wash up.
The man on the upper bunk beside Su Xing hadn't come down yet.
After the woman in the middle bunk came back from washing up, she took out a large makeup bag and applied skin care products on her face.
Su Xing looked up at the skin care products she was holding. It was not a maternal and child brand, but a big-name skin care product commonly used by many people. It was just not of the same grade as the simple clothes she was wearing.
Moreover, the child had been sleeping since she got on the car, and hadn't woken up for several hours.
Such a young child should wake up because of hunger, right?
She felt more and more that this couple was weird, and the child's condition was not right either.
Su Xing glanced around casually and found that there was no service QR code on the sleeper car of this train.
She thought about it, took out some toiletries from her backpack, and got up to go to the bathroom to wash up.
After she finished washing up, she did not go back to her berth directly, but went to the crew room at the connection between the carriages.
Su Xing knocked on the door gently.
The flight attendant inside heard the knock on the door and stood up to open it. "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
Su Xing looked back and whispered, "Hello, I have something to report. Can I go in and talk?"
When the flight attendant saw Su Xing was a girl, he opened the door and said, "Okay, come in."
Su Xing entered the crew room, closed the door, and whispered, "I am the passenger on the lower berth of berth 12. The middle and upper berths of my berth are occupied by a couple with a child, who is just over one year old. I got on the train around two o'clock in the afternoon. Since I got on the train, the child has been sleeping and has not woken up for more than six hours. The child's mother said before that she would prepare milk powder for the child and give it to him when he wakes up, but I saw that her method of preparing milk powder was a bit strange. She prepared a whole bottle of milk at one time, and she used boiling water directly. There were milk lumps all over it. She didn't look like someone who prepared milk for her child every day. And she also got along strangely with the man on the upper berth. It was very stiff, not as natural as other couples. I hope you can report the situation to the train police, and I hope I misunderstood."
The flight attendant listened to Su Xing's story, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"Okay, I'll report the situation to the flight attendant and the chief steward right away. You go back first and don't alarm them."
