My Best Friend Wants to Steal Me
墨書 Inktalez
As I opened my eyes, I found myself standing at the train station.
Wang Yi was right beside me.
"Xinran, let's buy two Sleeper Tickets; we can save quite a bit of money," she suggested.
Wang Yi was a friend from my past life, and I remembered that later on, she had joined a Human Trafficking Gang. The thought made me instinctively take a step back.
Wang Yi looked at me curiously. "Xinran, what's wrong?"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
She reached out to pull me closer, but I managed to break free from her grasp. It suddenly dawned on me—I had been reborn. I had returned to the day when I came to the train station with Wang Yi.
Oblivious to my turmoil, Wang Yi continued planning our budget for the month. "If we buy Sleeper Tickets, we can save over a hundred yuan. With the leftover money, we can buy some snacks."
She was excitedly mapping out our future, while I felt a chill run down my spine.
I pulled away from her hand. "I'm not feeling well; I need to go to the restroom."
Wang Yi nodded. "Go ahead; I'll wait for you at the entrance."
I turned and entered the train station, making my way to Carriage 3.
What Wang Yi didn’t know was that there were members of the Human Trafficking Gang in that carriage, and their target was me.
"Big Brother," I approached a man in Carriage 3. "I’d like to switch seats with you; I have a ticket for the lower bunk in this carriage."
He paused for a moment before quickly responding, "Sure, just head over to Carriage 18."
With that, he hurriedly packed his things and left for Carriage 18.
I lay down on the upper bunk, focusing intently on videos about human trafficking on my phone. These videos documented the pain I had endured in my previous life when I was trafficked.
"I swear, this time I will definitely protect myself. I still have my grandfather waiting for me."
I focused intently on learning some survival techniques, not even noticing the message that Wang Yi sent me.
"Zhou Xinran."
Suddenly, Wang Yi's voice came from the door of the compartment. She dragged her suitcase and looked up at me with a weary expression. "Why didn't you tell me you ran from Car 3 to Car 18? I searched all the way from Car 3, and that guy wouldn’t tell me where you were."
With that, she plopped down on the lower bunk where I was sitting. "I'm exhausted."
I closed my phone. "I didn’t say anything; I just changed my seat. We can meet up after we get off the train."
My intention was to keep her calm while I figured out how to inform the crew about the presence of human traffickers on this train. I remembered that in my past life, it was Wang Yi who caused my demise. I had to remain vigilant around her.
Wang Yi suddenly chuckled lightly and shoved her suitcase under the bed. "I changed my seat too; let’s share an upper bunk now." With that, she climbed up to the upper bunk opposite mine.
Wang Yi clearly didn’t know Li Daqiu, and they started chatting. I lay back on the upper bunk, closing my eyes to pretend to sleep and avoid engaging with her. But I could hear their conversation clearly.
"Miss, I'd like to switch seats with you," Li Daqiu spoke first. "My son wants to stay in the upper bunk."
It seemed Wang Yi had quite an allure in this situation. In my past life, she was also sold because of this very train full of people. Back then, both Wang Yi and I were in lower bunks; Li Daqiu first offered money to switch seats with Wang Yi, who eagerly accepted when she saw the cash.
Later, Li Daqiu came up with various excuses for us to change seats again, ultimately leading us off the train where we were directly sold.
Recalling that experience from my past life made me tremble with anger. Wang Yi seemed to sense something was off; she glanced at me and then at Li Daqiu. "No way, my friend isn’t feeling well; we’re fine in the upper bunks."
I was taken aback. I never expected Wang Yi to refuse Li Daqiu. Could it be that in her past life, she was also forced into this?
