This scent, it felt as if I had smelled it for a long time.
Zong Shuyun looked up, her eyes widening instantly, as if in disbelief.
"Is it you?"
"It's me! Who else could it be?"
Hearing Zong Shuyun's surprised words, the man said with a smile.
Upon hearing his words, Zong Shuyun finally reacted, realizing she was still in his embrace. She quickly struggled.
"Let go of me, quickly!"
Hearing Zong Shuyun's words, the man immediately placed her, half-embraced, onto the seat beside him.
Sitting on the chair, Zong Shuyun finally felt the bus's smooth ride.
Looking at the familiar face beside her, and then at the white-clothed girl next to him, her eyes held a trace of unexplainable emotion.
"Yo, isn't this Young Master Li! What, are you going to the city to date your sister?"
She had originally intended to express her gratitude to Li Qingfeng, but the words that came out of her mouth changed their flavor, filled with hostility.
Hearing Zong Shuyun's angry words beside him, Li Qingfeng was also somewhat puzzled. What was wrong with his senior sister today? Had she eaten gunpowder?
However, on second thought, she usually drove herself. Today, she was taking the bus. Perhaps she had been in a car accident and totaled her car!
Thinking of this, Li Qingfeng felt a chill run down his spine. Fortunately, he was smart; otherwise, he might not have escaped disaster.
Li Qingfeng said to Zheng Yingxue beside him, "Yingxue, let me introduce you. This is my senior sister from Huaqing University, Zong Shuyun!"
Then he said to Zong Shuyun, "Sister Shuyun, this is my sister, Zheng Yingxue. I'm accompanying her to the city today!"
Hearing Li Qingfeng's explanation, Zong Shuyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and let him off the hook.
Seeing that Zong Shuyun was no longer angry, Li Qingfeng shook his head helplessly. His senior sister was truly somewhat neurotic.
The town was about thirty li from the city. The bus ride took about half an hour.
The two of them chatted in the back row, and Li Qingfeng learned why Zong Shuyun wasn't driving.
She was going to the city for a meeting today, but her car was a town vehicle, and someone had already taken it on a rural trip. She had no choice but to take the bus.
The two of them gradually became more comfortable with each other, as if they had forgotten about Zheng Yingxue beside them. This made the white-clothed girl in the corner even more uncomfortable.
Looking at Zong Shuyun in front of her, then looking at herself, she felt she was inferior in all aspects, appearing very resentful.
Fortunately, Zong Shuyun noticed this in time, asked to switch seats with Li Qingfeng, and went to chat with Zheng Yingxue.
"You are Li Qingfeng's sister, Zheng Yingxue, right?"
"Mm!"
"I am Zong Shuyun. Just call me Sister Shuyun..."
...
Under Zong Shuyun's guidance, the two women began to chat enthusiastically, and it was Li Qingfeng who became the observer.
Looking at the scene before him, Li Qingfeng marveled at how inexplicably friendships between women could form.
Can you believe that these two had never met before?
Li Qingfeng closed his eyes, intending to rest for a while.
Less than five minutes later, he heard a piercing screech of brakes, and the bus was forced to stop.
"Open the door!"
"Open the door quickly, or I'll kill you!"
Suddenly, several male roars came from outside. Hearing their words, the bus driver smiled and opened the window, taking out several thousand yuan.
"Brothers, this is just a small business. This is all I have. Take it all and let us go!"
Casually taking the money from the driver, the leader appeared extremely disappointed. He hadn't expected the driver to be such a pauper.
However, there were rules in this line of work. Since the other party had handed over all the money, the driver could no longer be troubled.
The leader was about to turn and leave when one of his subordinates suddenly ran over and whispered in his ear, "Boss, there are two top-notch beauties on the bus!"
"Really?"
Hearing this, the leader's eyes lit up instantly.
Hearing the leader's suspicious tone, the subordinate slapped his chest and promised, "It's absolutely true, boss! If I lie, may lightning strike me!"
Seeing his subordinate's earnest oath, the leader walked directly to the bus door, and the large iron bar in his hand instantly fell.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, followed by the sound of shattering glass, he had actually broken the door.
Seeing the leader's actions, the driver quickly crouched in the driver's seat and begged for mercy.
"Boss, I really have no money, boss. I gave it all to you!"
Ignoring him, he led his three subordinates onto the bus.
Unlike him, the three subordinates carried different weapons. One held a saber, another had a paper tiger on his hand, and the last one was even more absurd, holding an accounting book and a calculator.
Li Qingfeng happened to have switched seats and could see their actions clearly.
He especially found the last subordinate amusing.
What were these people even doing? Robbing a place while carrying an accounting book and calculator? You haven't forgotten about calculating expenses at a time like this?
However, what they did next truly overturned his understanding.
The leader waved the iron bar in his hand and said to the people inside the carriage, "Hand over all your valuables, or I'll kill your entire family!"
Under the leader's pressure, people on the bus handed over their valuables and placed them in their hands.
"Fourth, do the accounting!"
"Yes, boss!"
Hearing the leader's words, the last person holding the accounting book became energetic. He started operating his calculator, and from time to time, he calculated a figure and recorded it in the book.
"You scoundrel, you dare to hide money? Don't you know I'm the ancestor of this profession?"
Just then, the subordinate with the paper tiger suddenly let out a roar.
It turned out that a fat man next to him, who was wearing a gold ring, had hidden the ring after handing over his money. He had found it.
"Drag him out and beat him. Anyone else who dares to hide money will suffer the same fate!"
Seeing this, the leader made a decision. Hearing his words, the subordinate felt his dignity had been greatly insulted.
Therefore, he took out all his resentment on the fat man and beat him soundly.
The fat man's screams echoed through the bus. Those who had harbored thoughts of hiding money now handed over all their cash and valuables.
Soon, these people arrived not far in front of Li Qingfeng and the others.
Li Qingfeng turned his head, looked at Zheng Yingxue and Zong Shuyun, who were somewhat frightened beside him, and patted their hands, placing them in his own.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Li Qingfeng's words were like a stabilizing needle, alleviating the two women's fear.
