Chapter 469: The Seat Giving-up Incident
The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and the leaves rustled, as if telling the beauty of summer.
Ling Yao and Zheng Ying walked side by side on the tree-lined avenue of the campus, talking and laughing as they walked towards the school gate.
"Ling Yao, summer vacation is about to start. Are you going to Sichuan again?" Zheng Ying looked at Ling Yao and asked.
"Yes." Ling Yao smiled and nodded, with a hint of expectation and joy in her eyes. Qing Yun had been on missions recently, and she hadn't seen him for a long time. She really missed him.
Qing Yun told her that after this mission was over and she went to the army, he could take a long vacation to accompany her around.
"I was planning to invite you to the beach during the summer vacation, but it seems that's not going to happen. Hey? There's a popsicle vendor, let's go buy some." Seeing an uncle selling popsicles at the school gate, Zheng Ying's eyes lit up, and she pulled Ling Yao over there.
"Uncle, what kind of popsicles do you have here?"
Hearing this, the uncle selling popsicles greeted enthusiastically: "My two classmates, I have many flavors of popsicles here, including cream, chocolate, purple, green bean and red bean. Which one do you want to buy?"
"I want a piece of purple ice cream, Ling Yao, what do you want?" Zheng Ying turned around and asked Ling Yao.
Ling Yao thought for a while, "Cream ice cream." She reached into her pocket and took out money.
Zheng Ying quickly stretched out her hand to stop her, "I'm treating you today, don't snatch it from me, otherwise I'll be angry."
As she spoke, she took out money and handed it to the uncle selling popsicles, "We want a piece of purple ice cream and a piece of cream ice cream."
"Okay!" The uncle smiled brightly. After taking the money, he opened the large wooden box on the back seat of the bicycle, then lifted the thick quilt on top, took out a piece of purple ice cream and a piece of cream ice cream, and handed them to Zheng Ying.
Zheng Ying took it, and after passing the cream ice cream to Ling Yao, she couldn't wait to open the outer packaging of the purple ice cream, took a bite, and squinted her eyes with enjoyment, "Summer and ice cream are indeed a perfect match."
Ling Yao smiled, opened the packaging, and took a bite of the cream ice cream. Because she studied medicine, she rarely had cold drinks in the summer, but she had to admit that cold drinks in the summer were really refreshing. After taking a bite, most of the heat in her body disappeared instantly.
"Ling Yao, do you have anything to do tonight?" Zheng Ying swallowed the cold drink in her mouth and turned to look at Ling Yao.
"No! What's the matter?" Ling Yao shook her head and asked in confusion.
"Great! Let's go eat hot pot together! I heard that a new hot pot restaurant opened on East Street, and the food is delicious. I've wanted to try it for a long time." Zheng Ying said excitedly.
"Aren't you afraid of the heat? You're going to eat hot pot in the middle of summer."
"It's okay. I heard that the restaurant has air conditioning, so you won't feel hot at all when eating hot pot. Let's go and try it." Zheng Ying said as she pulled Ling Yao towards the bus stop.
Ling Yao smiled helplessly and followed Zheng Ying to the bus stop.
Not long after the two arrived at the bus stop, they saw a bus slowly driving towards them.
Ling Yao and Zheng Ying followed the others on the bus. As soon as they entered the car, a wave of hot air mixed with the smell of sweat hit them in the face, making them feel a little suffocated.
"Let's go sit in the back. There are still seats there." Zheng Ying saw that there were still two seats in the back row, so she pulled Ling Yao there.
As soon as they sat down, the bus started again and drove forward.
The wind outside the window blew in slowly from the window, bringing a hint of warmth.
Zheng Ying took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face. She heard a noise coming from the front and looked in the direction of the sound out of curiosity.
I saw an old lady standing next to a little girl, accusing her with an angry face, "Do you have any sense of public morality, young person? Can't you see that I'm an old person? Don't you know to give up your seat to the elderly? Young people nowadays are getting more and more outrageous!"
The little girl's face was a little pale. She slowly opened her eyes, turned to look at the old lady, and said weakly: "I'm sorry... I don't feel well today... I really can't stand up..."
But the old lady was relentless and continued to scold loudly: "Who knows if you are pretending? What disease can a young person have? I think you just don't want to give up your seat to the elderly."
"I really don't feel well... I didn't lie to you... My stomach hurts..." The little girl held her stomach, her voice trembling a little.
"Pretending." The old man snorted coldly and started to pull the little girl.
"What are you doing..." The little girl's stomach hurt more when the old man pulled her, and even cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
The passengers around cast their eyes over, but no one spoke, just staring at the two of them.
"It's so abominable!" Zheng Ying stood up and walked towards the old lady and the little girl.
Seeing this, Ling Yao also stood up and followed.
Zheng Ying walked up to the old lady and said, "Don't you see she's uncomfortable? Can't you ask other passengers to give up their seats? Do you have to sit in this chair? I see you look so energetic, what else can you do if you don't sit in it?"
The old lady was so angry that she trembled all over. She pointed at Zheng Ying angrily and said, "I asked her to give up her seat, but I didn't ask you to give up your seat. What's it got to do with you? Besides, respecting the elderly and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Dragon Kingdom. You have been doing this for years. Young people, where have you read all the books? Don’t you even understand this little knowledge? "
Zheng Ying sneered sarcastically, "I don’t understand. I don’t understand why the elderly nowadays are obviously nimble and can run faster than anyone to grab eggs in the supermarket, and are more energetic than anyone when they quarrel, but they become Lin Daiyu when they get on the bus, and insist that young people give up their seats. Aren’t young people tired? Don’t young people pay less than the elderly to get on the bus? Why do I have to let you sit?"
"What are you tired of? When I was young, I worked in the fields every day, and I never complained of being tired. The young people nowadays are really pretentious." The old lady pouted dissatisfiedly.
The little girl reached out and tugged at Zheng Ying who was about to continue arguing with the old lady, "Thank you... I've already done a lot... You don't have to argue with her for me..."
As she spoke, the little girl stood up with the help of the chair in front of her and walked to the side, "Sit down..."
The old lady snorted with a smug look on her face, nudged the little girl with her body, and sat down on the chair, "Wouldn't it have been over earlier?"
"I've seen shameless ones, but I've never seen such a shameless one." Zheng Ying glared at the old lady fiercely, her face flushed with anger.
"Thank you... I'm fine..." The little girl smiled at Zheng Ying gratefully.
At this moment, the bus arrived at the next stop.
With the brakes, the little girl's body suddenly leaned forward, and then quickly fell backwards. Her whole body suddenly lost balance and fell heavily to the ground with a loud "bang!".
Ling Yao and Zheng Ying heard the sound and turned to look at the little girl on the ground.
The little girl's face was as pale as paper, her whole body was twitching, and white foam was constantly coming out of her mouth.
"Oh my God! What's going on? She won't die, will she?" Someone saw the little girl's appearance and shouted in horror.
