Chapter 3
Edited by Isalee
Bai Xinyu never thought that they would really just sit like this for the entire night.
In the middle of the night, the entire carriage of recruits had all fallen asleep, and some even had ear-splitting loud snores. He was so hungry to the point of dizziness, and remembered that he had some snacks in his luggage given to him by his mother. However, with his aching waist and cramped legs, he was really too lazy to stand up. Also, the two comrades next to him were sleeping like dead pigs, and so he was unable to get out. Having never suffered such punishment in his life before, Bai Xinyu felt that his entire lower half of his body was no longer under his control. He leant his head against the window, trying to sleep for just a bit. However, his neck soon could not take it, and that night, his stomach gurgled in hunger, his entire body uncomfortable, and time ticked on slowly, counting out Young Master Bai’s pain and tears.
Groggily, he thought of how he ended up in this position, and could not help but start to hate Jian Suiying. However, thinking about it, he could not fully blame his brother for it. He should blame his brother’s younger half-brother, Jian Suilin, who shared the same father! If not for Xiao-Linzi egging him on to cheat his brother of his houses, how would he have the guts to do something like that? If he did not do it… If he did not do it, he would not have been able to pay off his gambling debt, and he would most likely be chopped to death by loan sharks. Thinking of this, he really wanted to cry. He yelled out in his heart, Ge, I know I was wrong, please let me go home!
Because he was too tired, Bai Xinyu in the end still managed to fall asleep.
When the sun rose the next morning, everyone in the carriage woke up, starting on their breakfast.
When Bai Xinyu woke up, his entire body was in pain. Moaning as he lay on his seat, he felt that his body was about to fall apart.
Enduring this pain until Urumqi, they all moved to an even older train, heading towards the Karakoram Range. It was very close to the border there, and as it was high in altitude, the recruits in the carriage started showing different degrees of altitude sickness.
Over the past few days, other than going to the toilet, Bai Xinyu never left his seat. His mobile, computer, and iPad had no charge left in their batteries, and he felt that he was just like a hopeless zombie, lying in his seat half-dead. After the two days of hardship, the only thing he was looking forward to was a bed to lie down on. Due to the lack of oxygen, his body that was already uncomfortable felt even worse now. Bai Xinyu’s eyes could not help reddening again, and he sobbed quietly.
Qian Liang and the other recruits around him were already used to his self-pity, and so no one bothered with him.
Gradually, many people too started feeling breathing difficulties. However, these new recruits were all young and healthy, and they could all still endure it.
At this time, Bai Xinyu heard a commotion from the carriage in front. Listening carefully, it seemed that someone was asking if anyone needed the oxygen tank.
Need they even ask? All the recruits here came from places of low sea level. Who didn’t need it?
So, when the door of the carriage was pulled open, and Wang Shunwei led someone in and asked how everyone was, Bai Xinyu immediately shouted, “I need it, I need it, I can barely breathe!”
