Two blushes appeared on Zhou Yunwan's cheeks, and the beating frequency of her heart became chaotic and gradually lost its rhythm.
She took a few deep breaths and tried to regulate her breathing, but she could not ignore the strong presence around her waist.
The noisy carriage was crowded. When they arrived at the next stop, a group of passengers got off with great difficulty, leaving a lot of space. The two of them tacitly kept a distance from each other, one in front and the other behind.
Zhou Yunwan moved as far to the side as possible, standing close to the car window, while Shen Yanli retreated half a step to the middle of the car. He had no place to put his right hand after retracting it, so he could only use the action of adjusting his collar to hide his embarrassment.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a new group of passengers quickly poured in, even more crowded than before.
Shen Yanli tried to steady himself, but two fists were no match for four hands. He finally couldn't resist the crowd's shove and was forced to move closer to Zhou Yunwan, even closer than before.
If he bent down slightly, his chin and lips would touch the top of her hair.
Shen Yanli consciously tried to distance himself, but as the vehicle started again, his back was constantly hit by people, and people were so close to each other that there was no room to retreat.
Suddenly, he felt a hand grabbing his coat and pulling it gently.
...
...
Zhou Yunwan suggested: "Come closer to me."
As she spoke, she motioned for him to take a step forward. Leaning against the window sideways was much more stable than holding on to the seat, and it would also allow him to avoid contact with the crowd as much as possible. Otherwise, every time the car started or turned, he would be hit by an elbow from a stranger.
Thinking of this, she looked at the male driver in front of her with dissatisfaction. She seriously suspected that the other party had a bad temper. He drove like he was playing a go-kart, turning left and right, and his speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Without even considering the passengers' feelings, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed out without waiting for the passengers to stand firmly.
Some passengers had already reported this problem, but the driver still did what he wanted and didn't take the passengers' demands into consideration at all. He even said that passengers could get off the bus if they couldn't stand it. People were very angry when they heard this, but there was nothing they could do about it.
After all, not many people can drive these days, especially large passenger vehicles like buses. The driving skills of the drivers are very high and need special training. Once you learn it, it is equivalent to a stable job.
If passengers have any dissatisfaction, they can go to the traffic management department to complain, but it is troublesome and they will not get any benefits. Besides, why should they get off the bus after paying the fare? I could only swallow my resentment silently and endure all the way to my destination.
Zhou Yunwan thought that complaining was useless, it was better to have less trouble than more, so she calmed down her emotions and said something to Shen Yanli to move closer to her.
Shen Yanli also understood what she meant, whispered an apology, and took half a step forward to the position behind her.
Then he reached out and pressed the car window next to her, and used his arms to create a space for her in front of his chest, which not only prevented others from touching her, but also ensured that she could always maintain a comfortable posture.
Zhou Yunwan noticed how he cared for her, and it should be said that this scene was quite boyfriend-friendly.
The scenery outside the window kept passing by her eyes, and the man's slightly hot breath sprayed on her head and ears from time to time. She wanted to ignore the tingling sensation he caused, but her hands gripping the seat tightened involuntarily.
Zhou Yunwan lowered her eyes, trying to divert her attention, and her gaze fell on his hand next to her. Their hands were of different thicknesses and sizes, and when placed close together, the softness and delicacy of her fingers were further highlighted, creating an obvious contrast.
Her thoughts couldn't help but wander again. She remembered that his hands were very big and could easily cover her entire hands... Ahem, stop it. Now was not the time to think about those nonsense.
Zhou Yunwan tilted her head to look at Shen Yanli and asked, "How long will it take us to get there?"
"There are still about three or four stops." Chen Yanli lowered his eyes when he heard the voice, and his thick eyelashes fluttered lightly, casting a shadow.
"Oh." Zhou Yunwan nodded absentmindedly, but in her heart she was wondering if the bus could go slower. She had already forgotten how upset she felt when she first learned the location of the cultural center.
Soon, as Shen Yanli said, the bus stopped at the platform near the Cultural Center.
The two followed the crowd out of the car. Zhou Yunwan followed Shen Yanli half a step away and walked forward. After about a few minutes, they saw the big sign of the cultural center.
After explaining their purpose to the guard, the two followed the instructions and entered the cultural center and found the staff member who was responsible for renting costumes for ethnic minority performances.
Most of the cultural center's partners are art groups such as art troupes and art propaganda teams. It is rare to see people like Zhou Yunwan coming here to rent alone, so when she was filling in the information, the staff couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
She was very confused. She was so beautiful and could dance, why didn't she join the art troupe?
But judging by the way these two people are dressed, it is estimated that their families are well-off and they may have been arranged with better jobs a long time ago.
"Come with me and pick out some clothes. There are two styles. You can try them on to see if they fit you."
“Okay.” Zhou Yunwan asked Shen Yanli to wait for her in the reception room, and followed the staff to another room.
She tried on two sets of clothes, looked at herself in the mirror, and was quite satisfied with the size and style of one of them, so she decided on that one.
After coming out, I paid a deposit, set a return time, and left the cultural center with the clothes.
The progress was smoother than Zhou Yunwan had imagined. Now all that was missing was background music. She turned around and asked Shen Yanli, "Is there a video store nearby?"
When they were chatting just now, she learned from Shen Yanli that Huaqing University was nearby, so he was so familiar with the surrounding environment. If there was a video store nearby, she wouldn't have to take a detour to the commercial street next to the compound when she went back later.
"I remember there seemed to be two families." After saying that, Shen Yanli looked at her little face that was red from the cold wind, and said with a moved heart: "Do you want me to give you the scarf?"
He hadn't worn this scarf since the last time she wore it. The reason he wore it today was, on the one hand, to prevent the outfit from being too monotonous, and on the other hand, to prevent the current situation.
The weather has warmed up in the past two days and the snow has melted, so Zhou Yunwan did not wear a scarf or hat when going out, but it turned out that she still underestimated the cold winter wind in the north.
She didn't feel it just now in indoor places like the bus and the cultural center, but once she stayed outside for a while, the wind started to make her question her life, especially since it started to be windy recently, making it even colder.
"Then what do you do..."?
Before she finished speaking, her neck was surrounded by warmth. Shen Yanli stood in front of her, his tall figure looming over her, his thin lips opening and closing with a strong smell of hormones: “I said, I’m thicker-skinned than you, don’t worry too much about me.”
At this point, he paused while adjusting her scarf and continued, "So no matter what time it is between you and me, you are the priority."
Zhou Yunwan looked up in surprise. His deep gaze, through the air, made her ears feel hot.
His eyes were moving, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped.
How on earth did he manage to say such touching words of love in such an ordinary tone?
