This time, just as Su Zhao'an had hoped, Chen Ping's departure was delayed by a day. In the end, he couldn't take the same train back from the Provincial City as Fang Jun's family of three.
They could have made it, actually, if they had been in a rush. Others might not have been able to buy a train ticket for that night on such short notice, but for Shen Weimin, it was quite simple.
His aunt and uncle both worked at the station. With a single phone call, while getting a sleeper ticket would have been out of the question, his aunt could have definitely figured out a way to get him a regular seat.
Seeing Su Zhao'an approach with a look of pure relief after sending Chen Ping off, Shen Weimin couldn't help but laugh. "Was it really that serious? They can just meet up again once he gets there."
Su Zhao'an shook his head. "It's a matter of principle. I won't have any say in it later on, and I promised his father on the phone yesterday that I'd make sure Chen Ping went back alone."
