Chapter 133 - Chance Meeting On The Bus
Lin Yi was supposed to meet Huaijun that morning, and it didn"t seem appropriate for him to be taking Li Fu"s car for that. He didn"t want Huaijun knowing about what he was doing at the moment- after all, it was a little humiliating for the G.o.dly Eagle to be playing house with a couple of Misses…… Lin Yi was starting to doubt his old man"s words- he couldn"t see how this mission would end up setting him up for life.
He didn"t even know what the mission was.
Xiaobo was starting to have suspicions as well, and Lin Yi was sure that things would go wrong if they continued this way. He didn"t really mind, but that wasn"t the case with the two Misses upstairs.
With that, Lin Yi left a note on the table for the girls, telling them that he was leaving early, and that Li Fu needn"t wait for him. He prepared breakfast for them before stepping out of the villa.
Lin Yi wasn"t too familiar with the area outside the villa district. He looked around for a taxi, to no avail. Speechless, Lin Yi continued walking. Everyone in the villa district probably had a couple cars of their own in their garages; of course there"d be no taxis out here.
He found a bus stop after walking for a long while.
It was a one way bus, apparently on a route that toured the city in a circle. Songshan"s First School wasn"t listed, and Lin Yi decided that he"d ask the driver after getting on the bus.
It wasn"t long before a bus came, and Lin Yi got on. He asked the driver about his stop as he paid: there were no stops for Songshan"s First School, as expected. It wasn"t even on the route, and he"d have to transit to the 87 route bus at the Jingtai Marketplace.
There weren"t a lot of people on the bus- it probably didn"t go anywhere significant, and the ticket cost was quite expensive as well. It was triple the one kuai regular buses charged.
Lin Yi got off at the Jingtai Marketplace stop. He looked for the 87 route bus, finding it a short while later- there were a ton of people there consisting of men and women of all ages, in comparison to the emptiness of the villa district streets, most likely going to school or work.
A bunch of people would squeeze into a bus whenever one came, but the number of people on the platform didn"t seem to decrease at all… It looked like the people coming afterwards negated the numbers that got on the buses.
It was a while before a 87 route bus showed up, and Lin Yi squeezed onto the vehicle with the crowd- the volume of pa.s.sengers was clearly several times higher than that of the touring bus from earlier. Lin Yi found a spot near the door, not bothering to squeeze his way in too deep. He didn"t want to get stuck in that horde of pa.s.sengers when he got to his stop.
The bus stopped at the slums district, one of the older districts in the city that hadn"t been renovated yet. The inhabitants there were all poor, and their houses were all single floor ones. Lin Yi looked out the bus window, surprised when he noticed Tang Yin"s figure.
She was wearing a clean and tidy uniform, with a canvas bag slung over her shoulder- she stood tall and proper, her hair of beautiful black shining under the morning sun. She looked like a girl from a shojo manga, a "school life" feel permeating about her. Lin Yi"s eyes lit up, caught in the moment as he thought about talking to her.
Tang Yin was evidently waiting for the 87 route bus, as well. She got on from the front, however, and she seemed to be in quite a rush as she squeezed her way in. The girl didn"t have a lot of strength, and there was no way she"d be able to overpower that many people- the other pa.s.sengers seemed to be annoyed and irritated, refraining from yelling at her only because of how pretty she was.
"Where do you think you"re going? I"ve caught you now! Why don"t you keep running!"
Lin Yi was wondering why Tang Yin was in such a rush when a youth with a butch cut got on, teasing Tang Yin as his fingers wriggled about.
The bus was nowhere near quiet, and Tang Yin was even at the opposite end of the bus from Lin Yi… But his ears were on a whole different level. His attention was on Tang Yin, as well- it was only natural that he"d hear the youth.
From the way it looked, Lin Yi guessed that Tang Yin had caught a local gangster"s attention. It was an old area, after all, and it wasn"t a surprise that there"d be a couple of youths hanging around there without much to do. The guy had been bothering Tang Yin for a couple of days at least, judging from the way he talked.
It seemed that even pretty girls had their troubles! A commoner beauty, at the end of the day, had a fundamentally different life from rich beauties like Mengyao and Yushu, who lived their lives in ideal and safe environments. There may be a Zhong Pinliang bugging Mengyao every day, but she"d never have to worry about gangsters like that getting anywhere near her. Tang Yin"s situation was another case: it was only natural that a couple of unemployed gangsters would have set their sights on her.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, wasn"t about to just ignore this chance meeting.
He speedily split the crowd before him, speedily squeezing himself through with sheer agility and strength. He"d gotten to the other side before the pa.s.sengers even realized what was going on, and he shot his arm out at the closing door, forcing it to stay open as he pulled the gangster behind Tang Yin up. Without so much as a word, Lin Yi threw the guy off the bus and pulled his hand away from the door to let it shut.
Tang Yin blinked in disbelief and confusion as she watched Lin Yi come squeezing his way from the other side of the bus and throwing the gangster off the bus with one motion. She simply couldn"t comprehend why Lin Yi would be on a bus, of all things.
Tang Yin was trying to figure out if it were an illusion, even- didn"t this a.s.shole have a driver driving him to school everyday? What was he doing on a bus?
She"d only believed her own eyes when Lin Yi turned around to face her.
"Why"re you getting bothered by a guy like that?" Lin Yi asked.
Tang Yin pouted at the question, speechless. Wasn"t the answer obvious? Tang Yin wanted to say "for the same reason you"re bothering me" when she stopped herself out of fear… After all, this guy before her was leagues scarier than that little gangster earlier. What the h.e.l.l was this guy, did he really just stop a bus door from closing with one hand, and throw a man out the bus with another..?
No wonder even Zhong Pinliang and Zou Ruoming stayed away from the guy- he was an absolute monster, a violent beast!
The pa.s.sengers Lin Yi had forced his way past were just about to mumble at him when they saw him throwing the gangster off the bus- they all kept their mouths shut, as a result. No one wanted to get thrown out.
The driver also refrained from saying anything, as well… Who"d dare cross the path of a monster like that? Silently, he stepped on the pedal, and the bus started moving again as the gangster from earlier sat on the ground outside……
He didn"t even see who the person who"d tossed him out was- the door had closed before he could see anything.
Chapter 134 - Panic
"What the f.u.c.k? Who the f.u.c.k?! f.u.c.k!!" The youth cursed as he got up from the floor. He rubbed at his a.s.s as he continued cursing at the departing bus, attracting the attention and laughter of some of the old folk at the bus station.
"Think it"s so funny, do you? f.u.c.king s.h.i.ts!!" The youth yelled with a glare before leaving.
Tang Yin"s head was lowered at the ground- she was completely silent, thinking about G.o.d knows what as Lin Yi stood beside her, sniffing the pleasant scent of a young female a little pervily.
He had to admit, the girl indeed stood out from the crowd. She was almost a hundred seventy centimeters tall, quite a bit more than both Mengyao and Yushu. Her body was well developed as well, complimenting her height with curves rivaling even w.a.n.g Xinyan"s back at the train. She gave off a different feel than the quiet, educated one Xinyan did- Tang Yin had this unyielding pride coming from her. Women from poor families grew more proud the better their looks and grades were.
Lin Yi was enjoying the view as he traced his eyes downwards from Tang Yin"s black, silky hair when he noticed her white skin showing around the neck, along with some exposure of her pretty collarbones. He couldn"t see much farther than that, but it only made the girl that much more appealing.
Tang Yin staying silent with her head lowered was fine with Lin Yi- he was satisfied just to be able to please himself through his senses of sight and smell.
The bus reached another stop, and another surge of pa.s.sengers started pushing inside- most of the current pa.s.sengers were getting off at the last couple stops, after all. The numbers would only be increasing for the time being.
The surge of people pushed against Lin Yi and Tang Yin, resulting in their two bodies connecting- with an "ah", the softness of Tang Yin"s chest pressed solidly onto Lin Yi"s.
Lin Yi loved how Tang Yin was attacking him with her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, but it didn"t seem very appropriate to take advantage of the situation like that- after all, it was the crowd who caused that, not Tang Yin herself. How would he be any different from that gangster if he just let it happen?
Tang Yin wasn"t very willing on letting Lin Yi feel her up, and tried to struggle against the force coming from behind her, to no avail. All she"d managed to accomplish was rub her b.r.e.a.s.t.s left and right on Lin Yi"s body, and the sensation only put a deeper blush on her cheeks.
Looking back, she"d been really unlucky today… She"d had to go the long way to avoid that youth"s pesterings, resulting in arriving at the bus stop late. It wouldn"t have been this tight a squeeze on the bus if she"d stuck to her usual schedule. She was moments from being late, even b.u.mping into the big a.s.shole Lin Yi on top of all that!
"Don"t move, I"ll make some s.p.a.ce for you." Lin Yi said as he held Tang Yin in an embrace, moving her to a window spot on the bus.
Tang Yin"s eyes widened as Lin Yi hugged her- her body froze, and her instincts were just about to resist when she noticed the fresh, pure look in Lin Yi"s eyes, along with the intentions he"d just claimed he had…… She refrained from saying anything, but was this man actually just looking to help her out..? She hoped so……
Under Lin Yi"s cover, Tang Yin was moved to a spot near a bus window. Lin Yi pushed at the people around him with his arms, and created a nice little s.p.a.ce for Tang Yin as he disconnected their bodies.
It was a pity, but Lin Yi didn"t like this sort of thing too much when it wasn"t consensual. He"d probably have some trouble sleeping at night if he"d just taken advantage of the situation like that, especially with how unwilling that expression on Tang Yin"s face looked.
Lin Yi"s actions, however, angered some of the people on the bus. There was little enough s.p.a.ce to begin with, so who did this guy think he was, pushing everyone away to make s.p.a.ce for his girlfriend? Wasn"t that a bit selfish?
The people who considered speaking up, naturally, were those who"d just gotten on the bus, unaware of the feat Lin Yi had performed earlier. They were just about to say something when the others stopped them. "Don"t… That guy just threw a guy off the bus with one hand……"
The news put them back in their place- no one wanted to p.i.s.s someone like that off. At the end of the day, it only meant that the guy was strong and powerful enough to make some s.p.a.ce for himself, it had nothing to do with them…
The way Lin Yi and Tang Yin faced each other right now, however, seemed to be a little too romantic. Change the surroundings to a nicer setting, and Lin Yi would look very much like a delinquent teasing a fellow student on her way home.
Tang Yin was troubled, panicked, and surprised all at the same time. Her head was still lowered as she contemplated Lin Yi"s actions- did the guy really not plan on taking advantage of her from the start? This was not the Lin Yi she knew! Why would he ever let go of a chance like that?
It"d have made sense if he"d done this earlier, but there was no reason whatsoever for him to keep that facade on after the events that had taken place yesterday! Tang Yin caught herself, stopping the stupid thoughts she was having- she was acting like the a.s.shole was supposed to be feeling her up!
More people got on the bus, and even Tang Yin felt the pressure on the little s.p.a.ce Lin Yi had created for her… The s.p.a.ce, however, remained completely unchanged. Curious, Tang Yin glanced outside of the s.p.a.ce softly, only to see the pa.s.senger"s bodies pressing against each other- it was very packed, but Lin Yi held his ground even so, with no change in his posture whatsoever!
She knew how strong Lin Yi was, but the protection Lin Yi was giving her made her a little uncomfortable… Fen"s ex-boyfriend would never have made a gesture like the one Lin Yi was making right now, that was for sure. Even young masters had their differences……
Tang Yin realized that perhaps Lin Yi wasn"t as much of an a.s.shole as she"d thought…… Wait, no! Tang Yin stopped herself once more- this was exactly what that a.s.shole wanted! It was all part of his plan, he wanted Tang Yin to lower her guard! It was all part of his scheme to break her defenses down, it was all an act! Yes, that had to be the case!
Tang Yin lowered her head down even farther at the thought, emptying out her mind as the bus drove on……
"Next stop, Songshan"s First School. Will all pa.s.sengers please prepare for exit…"
"That"s your stop. I"ll help clear a path for you." Lin Yi said.
"Kay……" Tang Yin nodded softly as she blinked with a flutter of her eyelashes, evidently very conflicted inside.
Lin Yi put an arm around Tang Yin"s waist, and escorted her to the door. With no rails for her to hold on, Tang Yin hadn"t much of a choice but let her body be pressed against Lin Yi"s.
She could smell the manly scent coming from Lin Yi, and she couldn"t help but blush and panic at the same time. Her body tensed up, devoid of all motion save for the zombie-like hopping as she made her way to the door with Lin Yi……
"Fuu……" Lin Yi let go of Tang Yin with an exhale after getting off. Making s.p.a.ce for yourself was a lot easier than covering for someone else.
Tang Yin was planning to make Lin Yi let go of her immediately after they"d gotten off the bus, but she hadn"t even the chance to say anything when Lin Yi just let go of her on his own! It both surprised and disappointed her- what"s with this guy..?
Quadruple release beach! you can thank the patrons for that, and this guy who pledged $250 (jesus)- got us to the first goal instantly.
