Chapter 36 Hands on the Bus

Even after Chen Siqi got into the taxi, her heart was still pounding.

What's wrong with her? Has she fallen for Lu Yanhe?

What a joke! Chen Siqi gently bit her lip.

At school, many students were already in relationships, and quite a few boys were pursuing Chen Siqi.

She was beautiful and attracted the attention of every boy.

However, Chen Siqi never considered dating anyone at this time. Her mind was never on that. A relationship would only become a weapon Liu Wei'an could use against her, and she absolutely couldn't let Liu Wei'an have that leverage over her.

When Lu Yanhe boarded the bus, the sun had almost completely sunk below the horizon.

The bus was moving very slowly because it was rush hour.

The road was congested, but because honking was prohibited, there were no incessant, impatient honking sounds.

The bus was quite crowded. He held onto the handrail, his body swaying with the movement of the bus.

This familiar feeling reminded him of the bus he used to take every weekend when he went home, a bus that was always crowded like a stuffy can and always bumpy as if it would never reach the next stop.

It's been almost twenty days since I transmigrated to this world. The reality is becoming increasingly real; it's not a dream, nor is it an accidental stumble into a man-made world like in "The Truman Show." An entire city, so many people, from celebrities on billboards to the famous figures people talk about—everyone is completely different from my original world. This is a genuine transmigration. Even standing on this bus, with its familiar cramped feeling and the smell of sweat, and the city outside the window looking exactly like I remember, it feels like I've just arrived in an unfamiliar city for tourism—but I have undeniably entered a completely different world.

The clearer Lu Yanhe realized this, the less he knew what to think when he was alone. When he was alone, he felt like a wandering soul adrift in this world; he knew perfectly well that he didn't belong here, that he was merely a sojourner. All the illusory connections brought about by Yan Liang, Li Zhibai, and Chen Siqi crumbled completely.

This is just a pure feeling, a feeling that can only stay inside his body.

There was no one to talk to.

Everyone may love reading time-travel novels, but no one will truly believe that you traveled from another time and space. The day they do believe it is the day you are truly rejected by this world and truly become an outcast.

Lu Yanhe didn't know why so many thoughts were popping into his mind.

A strange, seemingly profound idea that doesn't quite fit the real him.

Before he transmigrated, Lu Yanhe was just an ordinary student.

He wasn't one of those privileged geniuses, the kind who could excel in exams by ignoring class and having a smug look on their face. He took an ordinary, conventional, and hard-working path: attending classes, studying hard at home, not resting on weekends, and taking tutoring during holidays. That's how he got into a decent 985 university.

His life during that period was unremarkable, but it was also his happiest time.

His parents would call him out for dinner at mealtimes, his classmates would ask him to play basketball after school, and he had probably read "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles," "Ghost Blows Out the Light," "The Three-Body Problem," and "Dragon Raja" on his bookshelf at least three times. He would also occasionally play a couple of rounds of "Honor of Kings" on his phone with his friends.

In spring, the girl I like walks by in the sunlight wearing a white dress. The sunlight falls perfectly on her bright smile, and her ponytail sways slightly with her steps.

In winter, your mom will glare at you and force you to wear thick thermal underwear without giving you a chance to explain...

Lu Yanhe couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a silly grin, so he could only lower his head to hide it from others.

etc--

Lu Yanhe frowned.

A hand was reaching into his pocket from the crowded throng.

Thief?

Lu Yanhe's mind went blank for a moment, and the memories that had flooded in like a tide receded just as quickly.

Lu Yanhe quickly raised his hand and grabbed at the hand like lightning.

The bus suddenly came to an abrupt stop at that moment.

A powerful force propelled everyone in the carriage forward.

Lu Yanhe was no exception.

The car came to a complete stop.

The car door opened.

Lu Yanhe steadied himself, and when he looked again, the hand was gone.

He turned around in shock, looking around at every face that showed lingering fear and unease.

"Sir, slow down! You're going to fall!" a woman in her forties complained.

"yes."

"Yes, so urgent!"

Immediately, others echoed this sentiment.

People started getting off the bus from the rear door.

As Lu Yanhe looked around, he suddenly spotted He Ting. She was standing by the car door, glancing back at him. Because of this stop, the people behind her urged, "Hurry up and get out! What are you doing blocking the way!"

Lu Yanhe and He Ting's eyes met through the crowd of people.

He Ting nodded to him and got out of the car.

She quickly disappeared from Lu Yanhe's sight.

Lu Yanhe frowned.

He glanced down at the pocket where a hand had just reached in, then reached in with his right hand and touched something very small.

Qiu Ling went through a lot of documents and records today and finally remembered when she had seen He Ting.

She had indeed seen this woman before.

However, she was just a cleaning lady in that area at the time, and she only met her once and didn't remember her at all.

Six months ago, Qiu Ling worked on a case involving a fraud ring that preyed on the elderly. They had been investigating for a long time and finally located their hideout, raiding it and arresting the entire gang. He Ting was a cleaning lady working there.

Logically, all those involved in that case should have been arrested and brought to justice, with those who should be detained detained and those who should be punished punished. According to the interrogation and investigation records of the personnel in charge at the time, He Ting was indeed called over to do cleaning, and she knew nothing about it, so she was released.

Why did this person suddenly reappear after half a year, and even stalk her?

Qiu Ling then checked the surveillance footage from the bus and bus stop to investigate the man called Tiger.

However, there are no records about him.

He's just an ordinary person.

Qiu Ling was completely baffled at the police station and was hesitating whether to contact He Ting directly.

However, this information made her hesitant to act rashly. According to the conversation Lu Yanhe overheard, there were other people watching He Ting. Therefore, Qiu Ling didn't dare to call He Ting rashly.

The sun had already set, but night had not yet completely fallen, and the sky outside the window was in a chaotic zone where light and darkness met.

Just as Qiu Ling was packing her things to go home, her phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up and her expression changed instantly.
