Chapter 38 Back to Roman together?
"I didn't expect you still have a mine at home..."
Shen Mochen felt sour in his heart.
"I have the mine."
Ekaterina took her metro card from the staff, corrected it with a smile, and turned around gracefully.
Young man, don’t be blinded by coal mines and oil fields! Work hard and strive for self-improvement! Shen Mochen patted his face and followed quickly.
It was Ekaterina's first time riding the subway. She was very curious about everything in the subway station and looked around, just like a city citizen going to the countryside for the first time.
Perhaps to her, this place is like an amusement park worth exploring. Her Royal Highness the Princess has lived in the palace for a long time and does not understand the fireworks of this world.
Shen Mochen found it interesting and deliberately walked slowly, allowing her to slowly observe the various conditions in the world.
It took twice as long as usual, Shen Mochen took Ekaterina to the subway, with a noisy loudspeaker announcing that the subway would arrive in one minute.
Ekaterina looked at the surrounding environment and commented succinctly: "It's a bit like a train."
Shen Mochen asked: "Have you ever taken a train?"
"Otherwise, you think I'm a country bumpkin?"
"Haha, I thought a noble like you would only fly first class when traveling."
Yekaterina smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously: "It seems that you have a lot of misunderstandings about me. I hope that we can clear up these misunderstandings one by one in the next time we get along. Of course I have taken the train. After all, not every city They all have airports.”
Shen Mochen scratched his head and smiled: "But they are basically available in big cities, especially in Roman..."
As he was talking, the subway slowly stopped in front of everyone and opened the door.
"Let's go up first."
Shen Mochen quickly greeted Ekaterina to get on the bus, but it was still a step too late. Before all the people who wanted to get off the bus came out, people who wanted to get on the bus swarmed up and occupied all the few empty seats.
You are really lacking in quality. Can you give some face to your international friends, leave an empty seat for others, and then leave one for me too!
Shen Mochen sighed inwardly. Of course, no one could care about his inner thoughts at this moment. Who hasn't been working all day and who isn't tired?
The two of them were standing in a crowded subway car. As soon as Shen Mochen grasped the handhold on the railing, he saw two men who seemed to be approaching Ekaterina.
He grabbed Ekaterina's arm and subconsciously pulled her into his arms, but just halfway through, he remembered that she was not Yin Caiyu, and gently pushed her between the two heroines, without leaving any trace. He turned around and stood between her and the other man.
"You have never stood like this on a train, right?" Shen Mochen joked with a chuckle.
"Yes, this is really an interesting experience."
Ekaterina glanced at where she was standing just now. Several men were standing nearby, their impolite eyes peeking at her from time to time.
"Were you protecting me just now?" Ekaterina asked.
"What protection?"
Shen Mochen pretended to be confused with a serious look on his face. Of course, he would not increase Yekaterina's favor for him.
Yekaterina raised her eyebrows, grabbed Shen Mochen's arm, her mouth curved, and her eyes seemed to have a little starlight: "What's the point of lying, but since you said no, just pretend it's not. Your sister said you are a gentle person at heart, and I kind of believe her now."
I'm riding a horse... Shen Mochen wants to slap himself twice. He knows that ordinary lies will be seen through by her at a glance, why do he still refuse to admit it! This makes it seem like he is humble and low-key, doing good deeds without leaving his name! This Didn't the favorability level rise even more?
Why should I mind my own business? What does her being groped have to do with me? Even if she was touched a few times by wretched men... Grandma, even if it has nothing to do with me, it really makes people uncomfortable if I think about it carefully! I still I haven’t touched it yet!
Shen Mochen was speechless and choked in his heart. He looked at Ekaterina's hand that was grabbing his arm and reminded in a low voice: "You can do the same as me and grab a handle."
Ekaterina raised her head and glanced: "It feels like there are a lot of people's sweaty hands on it, which is unhygienic."
If you think it's unhygienic, don't take the subway, miss! Shen Mochen complained in his heart. Of course, he only dared to complain in his heart.
At this time, the subway suddenly braked. Ekaterina was unprepared. She screamed and staggered under the influence of inertia and fell into Shen Mochen's arms.
Shen Mochen was suddenly startled by Yekaterina. He subconsciously hugged the girl in his arms to prevent her from falling. The refreshing fragrance of mint also penetrated into his nose, making it cool and itchy.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Ekaterina broke away from Shen Mochen's arms and turned to look at the open hatch, "Are we there?"
"This is the first stop, there are seven or eight more stops to come."
"Um."
Ekaterina turned her back to Shen Mochen and nodded. Her cheeks were a little rosy, as if she was shy, but she didn't know why. Was it because of the embarrassment just now, or because she fell into the arms of the opposite sex?
Maybe it was both. Shen Mochen stroked his chest, his heartbeat was a little faster. Even if he was as noble as Catherine, her body was soft.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of guilt about cheating. Didn't you ask me to have a good relationship with Ekaterina... You can't blame me for this. He thought to himself and comforted himself.
"Ahem, when you take the train, you must be in a soft sleeper." Shen Mochen changed the subject to ease the embarrassment between the two of them.
"I don't know what it is, maybe it's a soft sleeper. Anyway, one carriage is made into two rooms. There are lamps, beds, seats, toilets... everything is furnished in it," Ekaterina said.
"It sounds very luxurious. Did you sit in Luoman?"
"Yes, a special train that only serves nobles. I went there twice when I was a child. I went to the Antarctic Circle with my parents to see the Aurora."
The Roman Empire was at the southern end of the world, and its territory was vast, with part of its territory even in the Antarctic Circle. I heard that there was a dedicated railway that ran directly from the Roman capital to the far south, which was a very famous tourist route.
This was the first time Shen Mochen heard that there was a special train for nobles on this route, but it was not surprising that nobles enjoyed these privileges in private.
"That must be fun, right?"
“It’s okay, the aurora is beautiful, and the scenery along the way is also very beautiful. During the day, the ground is covered with white ice and snow, undulating, and the sky is blue, like a calm and endless ice pool. It’s also very interesting at night, except for the beautiful night view. , you can occasionally see a few wolves running with the train on the road. The further south you go, the cooler the temperature becomes. Once I opened the window without wearing a down jacket and almost froze my face. However, every room has heating. It’s not cold at all if you don’t open the windows.”
Shen Mochen smiled: "That's great, it sounds interesting."
Ekaterina turned her head, her face regained her composure, and she looked at him with a smile in her eyes:
