"Are you calling me?"

Li Lechen gave a polite smile, but to put it bluntly, it was a forced smile.

I couldn't help it, I was in a hurry to get to school for my exams, so I wasn't in the mood to flirt with girls.

Even when teased, the chicken can't move, oh no, it can't get excited either.

The girl wasn't embarrassed at all, and continued to ask enthusiastically, "Are you also from No. 2 Middle School?"

"yes."

In short, it means the end of the conversation.

"I'm going to No. 2 Middle School too. Are you in a hurry to go to school now?"

"Um."

This time, he wouldn't utter a single word; his reply came only as a hum from his nose.

"I need to go to school too, but it's rush hour now, and if you're in a hurry, it'll be hard to catch a bus. Maybe..."

Although Li Lechen was trying to end the conversation, he kept his ears open and heard every word the girl said. When he heard the twist in her words, he immediately perked up, looked at the girl, and gave her a friendly (and slightly lewd) smile, like a senior student.

Thinking to myself: Even though I don't know you, if your dad has a car or something that can take me to school, I really wouldn't mind sharing a boat ride with you.

Sure enough, the girl smiled and said, "How about I have my dad drive over?"

"Okay, okay!"

Li Lechen nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.

At the same time, he once again secretly marveled at the wonder of that top-of-the-line luxury diamond repair essence. Otherwise, Li Lechen would still be self-aware enough not to be someone who could attract attention in a crowd.

Then, the girl took out her phone and started sending messages.

"Why don't you just call? Calling is faster." Li Lechen said anxiously.

How could he not be anxious? It's already 7:45, which means the Chinese exam has been going on for 15 minutes. Even if he gets there with all green lights and drives a Maserati, it would still take him about 15 minutes to get to school.

Therefore, Li Lechen was inevitably going to be more than half an hour late.

Any later, and the Chinese language exam might be skipped altogether.

The girl didn't look up, continued sending messages quickly, and explained, "My dad will check the messages in time, don't worry."

After that, she sent the message out.

Then, the two began to wait.

Could a Maserati really be coming? Li Lechen suddenly felt hopeful.

Three or four minutes later, a bus pulled up in front of everyone, drawing all eyes to it.

"Isn't there a bus every ten minutes? How come it's here so soon?" The commuters waiting on the platform became restless, and some even took a few steps forward, waiting to squeeze on as soon as the bus arrived.

Indeed, the bus has arrived.

However, the huge "charter bus" sign chilled everyone's hearts.

Why charter a bus? Isn't that a waste of resources?

"Screech—" The bus came to a stop.

"Whoosh—" The car door opened.

"Get in the car," the girl said.

"Hmm?" Li Lechen was quite puzzled. Clearly, the girl was talking to him, and her meaning was very clear: get in the car.

What kind of vehicle should I get on? There's no Maserati. No Maserati, not even a Passat, just this bus with the word "Charter" written on it.

A bus, yes, a genuine one, the kind that can squeeze in a lot of people, with two sections, front and back. Now, it's completely empty.

"Driver, is this car going to Guangli Building?" someone immediately asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up their ears.

"We've chartered a car," the driver said, pointing to the sign.

Everyone was disappointed.

"Get in the car."

It was that girl who spoke again, and she had already boarded the bus.

This time it wasn't a misunderstanding; the girl's father who drove over earlier was actually driving a bus!

Although it's not a Maserati, this car is probably no less expensive than a Maserati. The key point is, it's so big and the seats are so comfortable, it's embarrassing to have only two people sitting in it!

"Let's go, to Erzheng," the girl said to the driver.

Li Lechen hesitated to ask the driver if he was the girl's father. He seemed like it; after all, who else would drive such a big car to pick her up if he wasn't her father, especially arriving just minutes after sending the message? But then again, it didn't quite seem like it. Something about him didn't seem right.

Forget it, as long as there's a ride and it's a direct one, that's fine.

Although it's not a Maserati, buses have dedicated lanes, so even at red lights they can wait ten seconds less than other cars. Plus, they don't need to stop in between, so they're actually not slower than a Maserati.

However, the atmosphere inside the car was somewhat tense.

From the moment he boarded the bus, Li Lechen occupied a single seat and kept looking at his phone.

After waiting for several minutes, the girl couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Why won't you kiss me...?"

"Chirp!"

Just then, the bus suddenly braked a little hard, and the girl was thrown forward by inertia, unable to finish her sentence.

Moreover, because she was talking, she leaned forward, and her teeth and tongue clashed. When she took a bite, it was excruciatingly painful, so painful that the girl grimaced.

However, she had already said the first part of her sentence, and Li Lechen had heard it.

He looked up at the girl with some fear.

At this moment, Li Lechen's face was twitching. He thought to himself: In ancient times, there were men who rescued beauties and then women would repay them with their bodies. Now he was just hitching a ride. Was he going to have to give up his first kiss?

Why are girls these days so open-minded?

Moreover, they've already opened their mouths and stuck out their tongues, this...

It wasn't that Li Lechen was too narcissistic, but rather that the people he had encountered since yesterday were all rather strange: the older auntie on the fifth floor, Zhou Mi who came all the way to do physics problems, Wang Dazhuang's mother who was closer to her dog than her son, the ramen shop owner, security guard Zhang, Grandpa Chen, Uncle Ma, Aunt Liu... even Wang Dazhuang's dog seemed to be under his spell.

Given that he witnessed the transformation of his own skin, it's not surprising that he subconsciously thought the girl had designs on him.

It's pretty much the same thing. When the girl was waiting for the bus, she felt that the boy next to her made her feel very comfortable and she really wanted to get closer to him. That's how the scene just happened.

Who made Li Lechen's body-fragrant pills so unique that they could create a very comfortable feeling for everyone?

Several minutes passed before the girl's tongue recovered, and she continued, "Why didn't you ask me my name?"

"Cough! Cough cough!"

Li Lechen coughed loudly, trying to cover up the embarrassment he had just experienced.

Well, the girl was just bothered that he hadn't spoken a word since he got on the bus, and hadn't even asked his name. She had no intention of asking him to give himself to her.

After coughing, he awkwardly asked, "What's your name?"

“Jiang Bai,” the girl replied without any hesitation.

"Oh, it sounds very nice. Four-character names are quite rare." Li Lechen gave another polite smile.
