Chapter 108 Bus

When Lin Huai returned home, his mother was sitting in the living room watching TV.

Seeing Lin Huai's expression, she asked him with concern how he was getting along with his classmates.

Lin Huai gave a brief answer, telling his mother that he would be back late that evening because he had to start tutoring classes, and then went into his room.

The desk lamp illuminated the desk. Lin Huai took out Yunnan Baiyao (a traditional Chinese medicine), stuck a sticky note on it, and drew two arc-shaped radii and a red heart next to it.

The crushes you have during your school days can really keep you up all night.

Xiao You's influence is too great; Lin Huai couldn't digest it even after a whole night.

He slowly lifted the covers, packed his schoolbag, and came out of the room.

Seeing that Lin's mother had already gone to work, she left a note on the table: "Be careful."

Lin Huai had never had a mother before. In the world of the book, Wen Jing's mother passed away before he could remember anything, so he didn't know how to get along with a mother.

After Song Nian'an suddenly disappeared from the ward, he would go home from get off work every day and just sit there in a daze.

One day, he went to Song Nian'an's university and saw the long corridor of osmanthus trees under the art building. Suddenly, a basketball fell from above his head, and he instinctively caught it.

Then she fainted.

When I opened my eyes, I was at the school's sports field.

He was startled and tossed the ball away, which hit Xiao You on the head.

I stood on the basketball court, staring blankly for a long time, before I finally snapped out of it and hurriedly ran out.

It wasn't until he was surrounded by his classmates that he realized what it was: school uniform, basketball, school.

He traveled through time.

The fallen boy was dazzling; in his half-awake state, he kept calling out a name: Wen Jing.

Lin Huai stood there for a full minute. After a minute, he picked up the boy he had hit and carried him to the infirmary with the teacher.

On the bus, the teacher patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Lin Huai, don't be nervous. You just transferred here, so you may not know that there are always students taking shortcuts from the convenience store on the other side of our sports field. But it's alright, Xiao You won't blame you."

It turns out that his current name is Lin Huai, while Song Nian'an's original name was Xiao You.

His name is so cute, it matches his alluring personality.

From the very first day of tutoring, Lin Huai looked forward to the school bell, because when it rang, he could spend time alone with Xiao You.

Every night, Lin Huai would rack his brains to buy as many snacks as possible near the school and bring them to Xiao You.

Because Xiao You really loves to eat...

While eating her ice jelly, Xiao You asked him, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Hmm?" Lin Huai looked up at him, neither saying yes nor no.

I can sleep well when I sleep with you.

Lin Huai thought to himself.

Just saying that would definitely make Xiao You think he's a scoundrel, and she'd stay far away from him from now on.

Lin Huai listened very attentively to Xiao You's lectures.

On the one hand, he needs to make Xiao You feel that with his help, she can really make rapid progress.

On the other hand, he really enjoyed being carefully taught by Xiao You.

Every time he corrected a question, Xiao You would come over and whisper in his ear.

They were very affectionate, and he cherished these days.

Xiao You told him that the midterm exams were coming up soon, and that he couldn't neglect his studies even if he was busy with the sports meet.

Lin Huai agreed.

Busy with sports meets and studies, I can't let it interfere with my pursuit of him.

That's what Lin Huai thought.

After a week of tutoring, Lin Huai began his "sweet talk".

From constant WeChat messages at the beginning, to later sharing new movies and restaurants continuously.

Friday night.

Lin Huai: I've been under a lot of academic pressure lately, and I think we need to balance work and rest.

Xiao You: Then go down and play ball by yourself.

Lin Huai: There's a movie I really want to see. Tomorrow's Saturday, let's go see the movie first and then catch up on our lessons.

Lin Huai: I've already bought the tickets. It'll be 10 a.m. You can sleep in first.

Lin Huai: Just the two of us.

Xiao You couldn't understand why he could make these things sound so natural.

Lin Huai didn't receive a reply from Xiao You, so he sent a voice message in a soft voice, "Please, the sports meet is coming up soon, and there are midterm exams too. I don't have any time to relax. I just transferred schools and don't have any other good friends. You wouldn't refuse an invitation from a good classmate, would you?"

That night, Xiao You went to bed as usual, but Lin Huai appeared in her dream.

A handsome and flamboyant boy was shouting his name out the window of the basketball court.

Xiao You sat by the window, peeking out in confusion, and asked him in lip-reading what he meant.

Lin Huai still had that confident expression, and his eyes were burning with passion as he looked at him.

"I like you."

Xiao You suddenly opened her eyes.

Looking at the time displayed on my phone, it was 6:30.

He blinked, and after a long while, he sighed.

There are still three and a half hours until the movie starts.

He accepted Lin Huai's invitation.

I clicked to take a look, and the movie theater is located 10 kilometers away from the school.

Xiao You thought that Lin Huai probably wanted to save some money, so he bought a place that was relatively far away.

But that's not the case.

Lin Huai just wanted to find a secluded and quiet movie theater, the farther the better.

During my student days, there were only two modes of transportation: bicycles and buses.

Xiao You is a sports idiot and a bicycle moron.

The only remaining option is the bus.

I bought a Nestlé coffee at the convenience store near the school gate, changed into my usual white t-shirt and jeans, and headed to the school's bus stop.

There were many people on the bus. He used to not understand why so many people would come to work on weekends, but now he could understand it a little better.

Xiao You had just squeezed on when he was pushed to the back of the carriage by the people behind him. He didn't even feel that his feet had moved; he was completely lifted up and carried by the crowd.

His head was covered by other people's hands, and his feet were covered by other people's feet.

They were constantly being squeezed in the middle and swaying back and forth.

The bus driver braked suddenly, attempting to run a yellow light, but clearly failed.

For a moment, Xiao You felt like she might knock over a whole group of people in front of her.

Until a hand grabbed his wrist and wrapped around his waist.

The two were standing very close; without turning around, one could tell that it was Lin Huai.

The scent of the laundry detergent had already seeped into his heart.

Lin Huai's face was almost pressed against his shoulder. He spoke softly, but his breath lingered in Xiao You's ear.

"If you rely on me, no one can move you."

And that is indeed the case.

Lin Huai was tall and looked very intimidating. With a serious expression, he gripped the top pole with both hands, holding Xiao You firmly against his chest without needing to hold onto the handrail.

At one of the previous stops, many people got off, and the carriage finally became empty.

Xiao You met his eyes, surrounded by Lin Huai's scent, and suddenly felt very at ease.

Xiao You's cheek unconsciously pressed against Lin Huai's coat. Due to the uneven road surface and the driver's aggressive driving, Xiao You bumped directly into Lin Huai's chin.

Xiao You said, "Ah... I'm sorry."

Lin Huai: "What?"

Xiao You: "Does it hurt?"

Lin Huai: "I didn't feel anything."

Xiao You: "Don't you...feel anything?"

Lin Huai: "How do you want to feel?"

In this cramped space, both of them got into trouble.

At such close range, Lin Huai could see Xiao You's fair and delicate face just by looking down.

Like a peeled egg.

Xiao You avoided his gaze due to various inner conflicts, but he could even feel that Lin Huai's eyes never left him.

He cleverly spotted a seat and slipped under Lin Huai's arm.

I finally feel like I've made it through the tough times.

He opened the car window, letting the wind cool his flushed face.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Lin Huai and saw him silently open his mouth.

It's as if it's saying: I have feelings.

In an instant, Xiao You could hear her own heartbeat, thumping so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
