The driver, unable to hear, said to himself, "Well then, let me tell you a story."
“There was once a boy who grew up in an ordinary way. He didn’t experience much luck, but he didn’t experience many setbacks either. He started a family at a young age and worked hard to support his parents, wife, and children. But one day, his parents were walking on the road when they were run over by a car. The driver was a college student who was driving without a license. The young man ran away, and a few days later, the police pulled him out of a pond. His family was very poor, so poor that they couldn’t afford any compensation. Even the court couldn’t do anything about it.”
"Hi!"
The driver slapped his thigh, his hand seemingly touching the corner of his eye. He sighed and continued his narration to Qi Ting in a calm tone.
He originally,
He already thought this was the most unfortunate thing that had ever happened to him.
"But he never expected that after breaking his head, just a few days after burying his parents, another incident would occur. After growing up, the boy thought he couldn't keep wandering outside, so he returned home, borrowed money, and opened a barbecue restaurant. But some men were grilling in a private room in his restaurant, and damn it, they didn't open the ventilation window and drank several bottles of liquor. The men poisoned themselves to death inside."
"To pay off his debts, he sold his house and everything he could. But his wife couldn't bear the millions in compensation and ran away with their child. He had already knelt down and endured all the slaps he deserved, but he didn't know what to do. Every time he got home, all he could think about was his parents and the scene of that private room being opened."
"He suddenly felt today that maybe it would be better if he were dead?"
The driver stopped the car.
Beside the road flows a slowly flowing river.
Qi Ting, sitting in the back seat, was already pale and trembling all over.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Cause and Effect
The school arranged a bus to pick up the new students. After Jiang Fan got on the bus, several more students arrived. It seemed that all the students on the list had already been picked up. Jiang Fan, who was sitting by the window, saw the girl named Wang Yu greet the driver. Then the driver closed the door and started the bus, heading towards the school.
Besides students, the bus also carried many parents who had come to drop off their children. Some of these parents were simply dressed, with honest faces, probably visiting Zhengzhou for the first time. Seeing the bustling metropolis firsthand, and thinking about the university their children had been admitted to, their faces beamed with uncontrollable joy. Other parents were dressed smartly, their clean-cut faces exuding the sophistication of city dwellers. Most of them seemed oblivious to the tall buildings outside, chatting instead with their children or other parents who had come to drop off their children.
There are plenty of seats.
However, the seats in the front, which are less prone to motion sickness, were all occupied.
Parents who don't often travel by bus in the city felt the bus's stop-and-go pace, and soon some of them turned pale. The initial laughter and chatter gradually subsided, and everyone kept their mouths shut, trying to catch their breath, hoping to get to the school as soon as possible.
"vomit."
A soft gagging sound was heard.
In the quiet atmosphere of the car, where everyone was mostly silent, the suppressed sound of vomiting still reached everyone's ears clearly.
Jiang Fan was seated a little further back. Looking ahead, he saw a simply dressed woman with a pale face sitting about two rows away. Beside her was a young man wearing glasses, who was helping his mother open a vomit bag. Despite her stomach upset, the woman blushed slightly with embarrassment as she apologized to the parents and students sitting next to her.
Most of the people around were covering their noses.
Some people took out masks.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan wanted to switch seats with her, but since his seat was further back than hers, he could only remain silent.
The people in the car were probably all uncomfortable, so the students and parents in the front rows didn't seem inclined to change seats. Seeing this, Jiang Fan didn't plan to stand up and ask someone to give up their seat for the woman who was carsick.
He is a good person.
But he's definitely not a pushover.
The person who was carsick and her son didn't say anything, so Jiang Fan, an unrelated person, had no reason to ask another unrelated person to give up their seat for her. Jiang Fan has always held the view that it is okay to help those in need, but if the knife is not yours, don't even think about pulling it out!
Just as Jiang Fan was about to close her eyes and pretend to doze off, she suddenly saw a familiar figure stand up from the front seat of the vehicle. The figure walked up to the woman, said a few words, and then, amidst the woman and her son's thanks, gave her the seat.
Under the intense gaze of the male students sitting in the car, she continued walking towards the back.
He didn't sit in the seat the woman had vacated.
She walked over to Jiang Fan, who was sitting at the back of the bus, and Wang Yu touched the empty seat and asked, "Can I sit here?"
Having said that,
Without waiting for Jiang Fan's reply, she sat down in the empty seat.
Just as Jiang Fan was about to say "okay," he saw that Wang Yu had already sat down, so he could only give a polite smile. He had a very good first impression of Wang Yu. In Jiang Fan's opinion, this girl was a goddess in terms of appearance and figure. Moreover, from his intuition, Jiang Fan only sensed the sunshine and warmth, and the liveliness and vitality in Wang Yu's aura.
Jiang Fan didn't find anything wrong with Wang Yugang's behavior when he got on the bus.
A graceful lady,
A gentleman seeks a good match.
The meaning of this statement could also be applied to girls. You can't just label someone as 'improper' just because they asked for your contact information and said they wanted to get to know you. Please, that's just wishful thinking. Jiang Fan doesn't know what others think, but that's how he sees it.
He smiled politely at Wang Yu.
There was no follow-up.
Sitting in her seat, Wang Yu looked at Jiang Fan beside her, a man of gentle temperament who seemed like a refined gentleman straight out of a book. Her face was calm, but she felt an increasing desire to be close to him, though without any ulterior motives; she simply wanted to be near him. From the moment she first saw Jiang Fan, she felt that this handsome, gentle man exuded elegance. She liked him, she was attracted to him, so she took the initiative. Even now, sitting here, she felt she had been too bold.
She blinked her starry eyes and said, "Has anyone ever told you that you have a certain scent?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan pretended to put his sleeve under his nose and smell it before laughing and saying, "It shouldn't smell bad, right? These are newly changed clothes."
The girl had a warm aura, like a small sun radiating light and heat. Others might only perceive her as simply warm and generous, but Jiang Fan could clearly sense that the speed of his spiritual energy circulation seemed to increase slightly when the girl sat next to him.
Wang Yu shook her head, and for the first time smiled at Jiang Fan. She said,
"It has a warm smell."
Jiang Fan admitted that the girl named Wang Yu was beautiful even when she wasn't smiling, but he didn't expect her to be even more beautiful when she smiled. Her starry eyes seemed to hold a gentle flame, the corners of her mouth were curved like a perfect crescent moon, and even her tied ponytail seemed to sway happily because of her graceful appearance at that moment.
