“That's what I'm talking about! Thank you, Grandpa. Good night!"
Keith added, "Regardless of whether they are able to meet, you should take good care of Blair. You can act childish at home, but when you're outside, you're a grown man. The border is a backward and rough place for a lady. Make sure that she is safe. Blair is the treasure of our family."
Niles pursed his lips secretly.
"No problem. But Grandpa, I hope you won't play favorites when I get married. You should treat my wife as the treasure of our family too."
"Get back to me about this when you get yourself a girlfriend."
Keith hung up without waiting for Niles’ reply.
Niles looked out the window, and his mind wandered. With a sigh, he returned to his compartment.
The next morning, Blair was still sound asleep when she heard someone saying, "Look! Sunrise! It's so beautiful!"
“Wow! Breathtaking!"
“Blair! Blair! Wake up!" Half sleep, Blair heard someone calling her.
She opened her eyes and saw Ingrid.
The woman urged excitedly, “The sunrise looks so beautiful. You can't miss it. Get up!"
Blair sat up in her berth and Looked where Ingrid was pointing. The marvelous work of nature caught her eye immediately
A streak of gold was inlaid through the denim blue sky. Even the clouds were coated in gold. The sun had risen above the horizon, glowing generously and embracing everything with its radiance.
From where they sat, the land stretching in front of them Looked Like it was being engulfed by clouds and sunlight. All this constituted a majestic visual feast for the travelers in the train.
Blair rushed to take out her single-lens reflex camera from her suitcase. She leaned out the window and started taking pictures.
When she was done, she turned around and saw Niles walking towards the next car.
"Where are you going?" she asked
Niles hadn't expected her to notice him. Surprised, he stammered,
“Er I was bored. Thought I'd take a walk.”
‘A walk?" Blair looked at the path ahead of him. The car in front of theirs was the head of the train. How could he possibly take a walk there?
But, she didn't dwell on it. She put her camera on her berth and decided to freshen up.
They had spent nearly twenty hours on the train by now.
And they had also gotten to see the beautiful sunrise. It was indeed heavenly. They also witnessed the continuous snow-capped mountains, the prairie, the herds of yaks and sheep grazing on the rich grass, and the gurgling brooks. Whatever they laid their eyes on, was a spectacle
As they got closer and closer to Wesley, Blair couldn't control her excitement. She had been able to work the day before, but today, she could hardly concentrate on anything for a minute.
