"Ugh, you want to be a scoundrel? Have you looked in the mirror? Do you think you're cut out for that?" Bai Yujie scolded him mercilessly.
Chen Erzhu didn't mind, but just then, the bus stopped, and a fresh-faced girl of about seventeen or eighteen got on through the front door.
This girl instantly caught the attention of many men in the bus, simply because she was so stunningly beautiful.
Chen Erzhu's gaze followed, and he couldn't help but be startled. This girl looked a bit like a famous celebrity, what was her name again? Oh right, Nazha.
The girl had fair skin, delicate features, and her large eyes carried a hint of shyness. Her hair was casually tied in a ponytail, yet she looked astonishingly beautiful. Although she wore a simple school uniform, it couldn't hide her striking height.
Carrying a canvas bag, the girl seemed a bit nervous as she felt the gazes upon her, her face slightly flushed. She quickly found an empty seat and sat down.
Bai Yujie turned her head and saw Chen Erzhu staring intently at the girl, instantly feeling a bit annoyed. She punched Chen Erzhu on the arm.
Chen Erzhu finally looked away and turned to her, "What's up?"
Bai Yujie snapped angrily, "See? You men are all the same, a bunch of lechers!"
Chen Erzhu couldn't help but laugh, looking at her with a grin, "Oh, sis, are you jealous? After all, that girl who just got on is just as pretty as you!"
"Pfft, I'm not that petty. Jealous? What are you thinking? As if she'd even look at you! That flower-like girl looks like a student. You definitely don't stand a chance. I advise you not to get any ideas!"
Chen Erzhu felt a bit frustrated, rolling his eyes and retorting, "What are you talking about? I wasn't thinking that at all. Her school uniform is the same as my sister's, that's why I looked a few more times!"
Bai Yujie chuckled lightly at him, then suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, since you're going to town, do you want to check on Xiaoguo?"
She was referring to Chen Erzhu's only sister, Chen Xiaoguo. Ever since their father had a car accident a few years ago, Chen Xiaoguo's school expenses had been covered by Chen Erzhu's efforts.
But previously, Chen Erzhu didn't have much ability to earn money, barely managing to keep Chen Xiaoguo from starving. Usually, Chen Xiaoguo had to work part-time to support herself, and her schooling was extremely difficult.
Thinking of this made Chen Erzhu's heart ache.
Sister, you've suffered so much!
But from now on, your brother will protect you well. At least, you won't have to worry about money anymore!
A hint of an expectant smile appeared on his lips. This time, when he went to town, he would definitely take his sister shopping, eat delicious food, and buy new clothes. The source of this chapter is novelping(.)com.
While he was lost in thought, the bus stopped again. Chen Erzhu didn't think much of it, as buses often stopped and started.
But unexpectedly, this time, three hooligans with hair dyed red, yellow, and green got on, cigarettes dangling from their mouths, looking like they were up to no good.
The passengers on the bus saw this and their expressions changed, turning their heads to look out the window, clearly not wanting to get involved with these three.
Smoking wasn't allowed on the bus, but the driver just glanced at them and said nothing.
These three swaggered onto the bus, saw that the front seats were full, and immediately became displeased, kicking two young men nearby and cursing, "What are you looking at? Get up and give us your seats!"
One of the young men was quick-witted, immediately standing up with a smile and quickly moving to the back.
But the other one, with a flushed face, said, "Why should I give you my seat? You're not elderly or pregnant!"
Slap...
The yellow-haired youth slapped him, and the young man immediately backed down, glaring at the three before moving to the back with a sullen face.
Everyone on the bus watched this scene, but no one spoke up.
Behind those two seats sat the girl who had gotten on earlier.
At this moment, she was sitting with her head down, looking very tense.
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly stood up, intending to move to the back without saying a word.
But as she lifted her head, the three hooligans noticed her, and their eyes lit up.
"Damn, this chick is really pretty!" Yellow Hair cursed, moving swiftly to block her path, while the other two moved in, surrounding her.
"What... what do you want?"
Yellow Hair grinned lecherously, "Don't be nervous, little sister. We mean no harm. We just want to be friends. How about adding me on WeChat?"
As he spoke, Yellow Hair pulled out his phone.
The girl replied coldly, "I... I don't have a phone!"
Yellow Hair feigned surprise, "What? A pretty girl like you without a phone? That won't do. Come with us when we get off, and I promise to buy you the latest iPhone. You'll be the envy of all your classmates. How about it?"
The girl shook her head, refusing firmly, "No need, I don't want a phone. Let me pass, I want to go to the back!"
Yellow Hair's face darkened slightly, chuckling, "Come on, sis, this seat is yours. We won't take it. Just sit here and chat with us. Don't be afraid, we're not bad guys, we won't do anything to you."
The girl's face grew even more troubled. It was clear she was very scared, her eyes darting around for help.
But everyone on the bus had turned away, unwilling to get involved.
Next to Chen Erzhu, Bai Yujie watched with indignation, gritting her teeth and cursing, "Bastards, this is infuriating. Erzhu, do something!"
Chen Erzhu smiled and said to her, "Here's the plan, pretend you know the girl and call her over."
Bai Yujie was momentarily stunned, then quickly understood. She stood up and called out, "Isn't that Qingqing? What a coincidence, running into you here. I'm your cousin, don't you remember? Come over here, let's chat!"
Her voice drew everyone's attention on the bus.
Including the three hooligans.
When the hooligans saw Bai Yujie, their eyes went wide.
Earlier, Bai Yujie had been sitting in the back, so they hadn't noticed her. Now, seeing her, the allure she exuded was far beyond that of the young girl.
