Su Chenhao handed the opened soda to Qiao Xiaoni: "Drinking a little will make you feel better."

Qiao Xiaoni had never tried old-fashioned soda before! Looking at the bright orange color, she took the bottle and took a sip. It tasted almost the same as Sprite, and the sweetness made her feel much better. Before she knew it, she had finished the whole bottle.

Su Chenhao looked at the newly published daily newspaper. His favorite thing to do when he was out was to read newspapers so that he could learn about the latest developments in the country.

Qiao Xiaoni returned the bottle to the salesperson and got her five-cent deposit back. At that time, a bottle of soda cost ten cents, and most people wouldn't buy it to drink.

Thinking about how, decades from now, all sorts of beverages will be accepted and appreciated by everyone, I feel that if I had the chance, I'd like to open my own beverage factory. And if I were to imagine, what would be the most profitable product to sell? Of course, it would be water.

It's worth noting that a bottle of mineral water costs between one and several yuan, but its actual cost is less than a penny.

Su Chenhao put away the newspaper in his hand: "We'll arrive at the station in a few more minutes."

Qiao Xiaoni put the bag that had been placed aside back on her sling.

"Time flies so fast. I felt a little unwell when I got on the bus just now, and I thought time was passing very slowly."

Su Chenhao brushed a stray hair behind her ear:

"The county town is quite big. When you get off the bus, make sure you stay with me and don't get separated from the crowd."

If you really get separated, wait for me at the bus station entrance.

Qiao Xiaoni poked his chest casually: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who's so easy to lose?"

Su Chenhao: "It's chaotic outside right now! It's always better to be careful. Be a good girl and stay behind me for a while and don't wander off."

At this moment, Qiao Xiaoni felt that Su Chenhao was a bit domineering, but she felt very sweet inside. This feeling of being valued was very nice.

The bus arrived at the station, and the people in front of us got off one after another.

Su Chenhao and the others had almost all gotten off the bus when they got up and started to walk out. Firstly, it was too crowded, and secondly, there were sometimes pickpockets on the bus, so it was better to avoid trouble and get off later.

Qiao Xiaoni followed him out, with four or five other passengers behind them. Suddenly, she felt someone's hand lightly touch her waist. She turned around and saw a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old; his hand was already on her bag.

What do you want to do?

"I...I'm in a hurry to get off the bus," the young man replied hastily. He hadn't expected the girl to react so quickly; he almost succeeded. If he had known this would happen, he would have just stolen from the passenger in front of him.

Su Chenhao reacted immediately, reaching out to pull Qiao Xiaoni to his side. Looking at the young man in front of him, whose eyes were darting around, he was clearly a thief.

"You're young, there are so many things you could do, but this path is not easy."

The young man felt very uncomfortable being stared at, as if everyone could see right through him. Having been a thief for many years, he hated being looked at like that, as if he were a lowly ant.

"What are you looking at? I didn't do anything. They're talking nonsense."

Su Chenhao: "You just didn't have time to do it, and we just happened to find out."

Kid, get out of here! If you want to go to jail, you're not going anywhere.

Thieves like this, who frequently steal from vehicles, have criminal records at the police station. Once they're sent there, even if they didn't steal anything, they can be detained for a few days.

The thief thought for a moment, then quickly jumped out of the window next to him and disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.
