Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 93: Competition, Airplane

Dongcheng is almost at the northernmost edge of China. It's far from the capital, and the green trains are slow. At night, there's nowhere to rest, so we can only sleep on the tables.

Chu Xia asked the teacher who came with her, "Adults can endure long train rides, but these children are so young. Can they withstand not sleeping well at night on the train?"

The leading teachers, one male and one female, are both math teachers and members of the Capital Mathematics Society. The male teacher's surname is Jin, and the female teacher's surname is Xing.

Teacher Jin smiled bitterly and said, "We also want the children to travel by sleeper or plane, but the Mathematics Society doesn't have much funding now."

In her heart, Chu Xia sighed. She could afford to take An'an and Zhang Lu to travel by sleeper, but the students and teachers who came together were all in hard seats, which would be inappropriate.

So, she endured it.

Chu Xia was only thankful that the students and teachers' seats were together. There were no unbearable passengers taking off their shoes randomly. Apart from being a bit crowded, it wasn't too uncomfortable.

Cen Huai'an adapted to the environment faster than Chu Xia. He had already silently taken out a book to read, a supernatural novel he bought at a used book stall on Lantern Festival. He had only started reading it now.

Some students had never ridden a train before and were excitedly looking around their seats, happily talking to their classmates.

Zhang Lu and Chu Xia, along with An'an, sat together. Two students from their school came, but instead of the first-place Liu Hongyu, it was a somewhat quiet boy who sat across from Chu Xia.

So Zhang Lu was bored. An'an next to her was reading a book, the classmate opposite wasn't talking, and her aunt who could talk to her was separated by An'an.

Zhang Lu, in the innermost position by the window, looked outside for a while, propped her chin to look at the classmate opposite, and then turned her head to look at An'an.

Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and turned her head to look at Cen Huai'an's book. "'Records of Strange Events'?"

Zhang Lu pronounced each word of the title, feeling that the name was strange. "An'an, what kind of book are you reading? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Cen Huai'an had just read half of a story. He put the book in the middle of the two and said, "It's a story about a fox."

Zhang Lu became interested and leaned over to read the book with An'an.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Chu Xia also became interested and stretched her head to look at the book on the table.

Indeed, it was a story about a fox, a fox turning into a demon and the love and hatred between her and a scholar.

Chu Xia initially thought it was the common love story between humans and demons seen in TV dramas.

As she read further, she saw the fox demon being betrayed by the scholar, and in the end, just before escaping to the mountain forest of her clan, she was cunningly killed by a Taoist priest.

"The story ends here, right?"

Cen Huai'an flipped a page backward, saying, "Mom, not yet."

"Huh? The female protagonist is already dead and turned into a pile of bones. Why hasn't it ended?"

Chu Xia's interest was piqued even more, and Zhang Lu was also watching with relish.

Golden Cicada passed by the place where the fox demon's bones were, collecting her remains in a cave not far away.
