Upon hearing this, Lu Ying looked over and saw that it really was her work badge, which she didn't know when she had taken it off.
So, Xi Jun appeared there because he wanted to return her work badge.
As she was thinking this, her index finger inadvertently touched the man's finger as she reached for the work badge.
She didn't notice these small things; after pinching the sign, she withdrew her hand and put the things into her bag.
Xi Jun's ears burned again, and after withdrawing her hand, her fingers unconsciously curled and groped.
It leaves a lingering impression.
The elevator quickly arrived at the first floor.
After exiting the elevator, Lu Ying thanked Xi Jun again, "Thank you so much for today."
She paused for a moment, then said, "That was back then, and there was also the work badge thing."
Xi Jun's ears have cooled down considerably, but they are still slightly red.
He clutched the hem of his plaid shirt jacket, his eyelashes trembling as he looked at the woman. "No, you're welcome. It's nothing."
Lu Ying glanced at him twice, then walked to the side of the road without saying a word.
Seeing that she had left, Xi Jun started walking and followed her.
There's a bus stop about 200-300 meters away from the office building.
Lu Ying knew Xi Jun was behind her. When they reached the bus stop, she turned to look at him and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The man stopped and shook his head. "No."
Lu Ying asked in confusion, "Then why are you following me?"
Xi Jun glanced at her and saw obvious rejection and defensiveness on the woman's face, which suddenly made the lingering irritation in his ears turn cold.
He grabbed the hair at the back of his head and explained, "My tram broke down, so I've been taking the bus these past few days."
Lu Ying recalled the man's terrible fall that day, and the tram with its outer shell parts scattered all over the ground.
It was such a bad fall, it's normal for it to break down afterward.
She didn't say anything more, turned around and stood under the bus stop sign waiting for the bus.
Xi Jun only stepped into the bus stop after seeing her turn around.
Lu Ying sat at one end of the bench and dialed Lu Chuqing's number. The young girl answered quickly.
"Hey, Mom!"
The moment Lu Ying heard her daughter's voice, a smile instantly appeared on her face. She asked, "Did you stay at your second uncle's house or go back to our own home?"
Lu Chuqing replied truthfully, "My brother came along to our home too."
Then a slightly hoarse young voice came from the other end of the phone, "Auntie, Qingqing and I are home safely, and we're teaching her the problems she doesn't understand."
Lu Ying was relieved to hear this. "Okay, you guys focus on your homework. I'll be home in a little while. If you get hungry, there's food in the fridge. Remember to microwave it. Don't eat anything cold; it's bad for your stomach."
"Okay, Auntie."
Before hanging up, Lu Ying hurriedly reminded him, "Linqi, keep an eye on your sister and make sure she doesn't sit too close to her desk while doing her homework, as it can easily cause nearsightedness. Also, be careful yourself and don't strain your eyes."
At that moment, both voices replied simultaneously, "Yes, Mom (Auntie)!"
The phone call ended, and the bus arrived at its stop.
Lu Ying put her phone away and got into the car, with Xi Jun following closely behind.
It's still rush hour at this time, with people getting off work and leaving school all rushing together.
Although I was delayed at the company for a while, there were still quite a few people on the bus.
With no seats in sight, Lu Ying had no choice but to grab a handrail in front of her.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xi Jun walk past him to the back. The area near the back door wasn't too crowded, so he stopped there.
Actually, Lu Ying initially wanted to stand in that spot, but the handrails at the back were too high for her to hold onto, so she had to make do with the one at the front where people frequently boarded the bus.
The car swayed along and soon arrived at the next stop. This stop was near a supermarket, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of elderly people carrying their groceries.
When people come up carrying things and walk backwards, the bags and such always brush against Lu Ying's back.
The city promotes environmental protection, and people are encouraged to bring their own shopping bags. Some elderly people's cloth bags are filled with all sorts of things, and the bottoms are wet and dirty.
It brushed against Lu Ying's waist, leaving a stain instantly.
She happened to be wearing a white long-sleeved shirt today, and that stain was really conspicuous. When she turned her head to look at the stain, it was clearly visible that the area was not small.
The older woman, however, seemed oblivious, sitting on the vacated seat and fanning herself with her sun hat.
Looking at the woman who was about the same age as her own mother, Lu Ying pursed her lips and didn't say anything, simply assuming it was just bad luck.
The bus continued its journey, passing two more stops, with more and more people getting on, but hardly anyone getting off.
The once somewhat spacious carriage suddenly became crowded and stuffy, with no breeze coming in even through the open windows.
Some passengers started complaining about why the air conditioning wasn't on, and the driver, who was also sweating profusely, explained loudly that the air conditioning in the car was broken and he would go to fix it after his shift.
Lu Ying also felt hot. She had wiped her sweat with her sleeve several times, but she still felt that every pore on her body was sweating.
She could feel her back was soaked with sweat, but there was nothing she could do but move her feet with difficulty to try to keep herself away from others.
Four more stops, just hang in there a little longer and we'll be there.
She tried to comfort herself like this, but suddenly felt something press against the back of her thigh.
Lu Ying froze. The thing moved up her thigh, and when she realized it was a hand, she immediately turned around with a cold face.
However, the hand was very fast. Before she could see which beast had reached out, the hand had disappeared.
Several men stood behind her, including older men, middle-aged men, men of similar age, and young men.
Seeing her fierce and cold expression, they felt neither guilty nor afraid; some even had greasy eyes and blatantly glanced at her chest.
The middle-aged man even whistled, then glanced at her chest, and said with a smirk, "Beautiful lady, your chest is wet."
These words instantly drew the attention of others around them, most of whom were more or less ill-intentioned.
Lu Ying was disgusted. She glared at the man, then turned her head and looked down. The fabric above her chest was soaked with sweat, and the outline of her underwear was faintly visible.
She was extremely ashamed and angry, and picked up her backpack to shield herself.
But the middle-aged man laughed at her action and said meaningfully, "Beautiful lady, your bag is a bit small!"
Several older men also glanced at the woman's chest after hearing this, their faces full of lewd smiles.
Surrounded by men watching her, Lu Ying wanted to resist, but in the end, she gained nothing.
Without hesitation, she turned around and tried to walk away from the men.
As a result, when she turned around, she saw Xi Jun's face, and then a light gray checkered shirt jacket was draped over her body.
The man's face was tense, and he glared fiercely at the middle-aged man. "Watch your dog eyes and rotten mouth, and stop getting all lewd at every woman you see! You're like a dog that's never eaten meat, aren't you ashamed!"
The middle-aged man choked, his face turning red. He glared at Xi Jun and raised his hand to hit him, yelling, "Where the hell did you come from, you piece of trash, daring to meddle in my business!"
