Sonata: Fleeing to Avoid an Arranged Marriage(Hiatus)

Chapter 1

At the train station, amidst the clamor of the people and the incessant rumbling of the cars, a figure clad in pink, holding an identical pink suitcase alongside her, nimbly weaved her way through this bustling crowd.

Bypassing a driver trying to obtain customers, Mi Qing sprinted with a speed similar to 100m sprint athletes to dash towards the ticket office.

Bounding up the steps, she dragged her Hello Kitty suitcase behind her, only to have it unsteadily fly out of her grasp. She quickly bent down to pick it up and carry in her arms. With a little effort, she walked up to the ticket booth with the shortest line.

"A ticket for the train with the earliest departure time. Thank you." Her breathing was somewhat hurried, but the timbre of her voice was still clear and bright, sounding sweet to the ears——like the glittering sunlight upon winter scenery. The ticket seller behind the window lifted his head to look at her.

Mi Qing felt for her purse in her shoulder bag and repeated herself. "A ticket for the train with the earliest departure time. Thank you."

The ticket seller gave her a blank look before formally asking, "Destination?"

Mi Qings eyebrows slightly rose before she suddenly smiled and said, "Any destination is fine as long as I can quickly leave this place."

The ticket seller sent her another blank look. Mentally, he tried to recall if there had been any recent posters sent out about a fugitive.

"Can you hurry up? I need to go." Seeing the ticket seller remain motionless for a while, Mi Qin could finally no longer be patient.

The ticket seller regained awareness of his surroundings. His fingers tapped skillfully on the keyboard several times. "In two minutes, there is a train departing from platform 11. Ticket price is ¥43."

Mi Qing quickly handed over a hundred yuan before taking the ticket and change. In a flurry, she rushed towards the ticket inspections at platform 11.

Just as she entered the platform, a staff member yelled to her, "Are you taking this train? Hurry up, the train is leaving soon!"

Mi Qing quickened her steps. The staff member verified her ticket and spoke words that flew out at lightning speed. "Seat 20, immediately take your seat so the train can leave."

Mi Qing made a sound of agreement as she dragged her suitcase behind her. Two steps in, she turned around and returned. The staff member offered her a hand with the luggage and helped her enter the train car. "Ill help you put it away, so quickly get on!"

Mi Qing had stared at her crude actions, but she was reminded of her lack of time. Her soft pink suitcase with a heart-shaped dot design was shoved into the train car, and immediately after, with a pa sound, the door was slammed shut.

Mi Qing felt her heart tremble all of a sudden.

The staff member who had shoved her suitcase onto the train could see that she was still lingering at the door and couldnt resist asking, "Why are you still standing here?"

Mi Qing pursed her lips before turning around to go further into the train.

The car was more than half full. Just as she found seat 20 and sat down, the train slowly began to leave the platform.

Her seat was by the window. Through the glass, she could just see what was happening back on the platform. She leaned her head against the glass to look, and upon not seeing any police in pursuit, she finally let out a light sigh. Her heart slowly calmed down.

During this time, she recalled that she didnt know where this train was taking her.

Turning over the ticket in her hand, she saw that printed on top of the ticket were four bold words.
