章 17: She Was Despised by Him
編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In her previous life, before Chu Ning and Ye Ting exchanged their identities, Chu Ning had never taken a bus before.
Of course, if she knew that the person she fancied took a bus every day, she would probably ask her family to find a way to invest in the bus company. That way, she would be able to go back with Yan Shen every day...
"Oh? This Little Brother has character. That's good. I like him," Chu Ning thought to herself. She did not try to strike up a conversation with him. If it was her previous life, she probably would not have been able to hold herself back.
Yan Shen glanced at Chu Ning and realized that she did not seem to lose her mind the moment she saw him as she usually did. He felt slightly relieved.
Chu Ning looked so calm... as if she was really just waiting for the bus? After all, she hadn't even looked at him since she came to the bus stop.
"Humph. Playing hard to get." Yan Shen didn't know about Chu Ning's change, so he could only think about it this way.
"Huh? Why would I think that way about her..." Yan Shen muttered to himself. He felt that there was something wrong with him today.
The bus had arrived. This was only Chu Ning's first stop.
The people waiting at the bus stop got on the bus one after another, leaving only Chu Ning and Yan Shen behind.
Chu Ning was waiting for Yan Shen to get on the bus first.
Yan Shen was the same.
...
Just as the two of them were in a deadlock.
The bus driver honked a few times impatiently.
"The two of you, if you don't get on, I'm leaving."
Chu Ning found it funny and could only get on the bus first.
Yan Shen followed closely behind.
It was most crowded on the bus at this time. Because of Chu Ning and Yan Shen's hesitation, there were no more seats available.
Even the handrail that they were standing at did not have much space left.
Yan Shen wanted to be further away from where Chu Ning was holding the handrail, but when he looked towards his feet, he realized that there was no space behind him. Helplessly, he could only stand face-to-face with Chu Ning, close enough to even smell each other's scent...
"Yan Shen, I'm not going to eat you up. Why are you always avoiding me?" Chu Ning raised her head to look at Yan Shen and said openly.
Yes, very handsome, very pure, and very ambiguous.
She achieved a goal that Chu Ning would never have been able to achieve in her previous life. It was the first time she was so close to Yan Shen.
In her previous life, Chu Ning tried every possible means to get close to Yan Shen. She did not expect that she would be able to do it so easily with only two dollars.
"I didn't. There's no need for me to do that," Yan Shen pretended to be indifferent.
"That's good. I remember that you wouldn't have taken the bus. Did you have a conflict with your family? It is impossible that you are as miserable as me, right?"
Chu Ning started to speak with Yan Shen as if they were close friends.
"No. I just don't want them to pick me up." Yan Shen shook his head.
"Oh, that's good too. It's just that it's a little crowded, and it's making things difficult for you. You're forced to be on the same bus as the person you hate," Chu Ning replied with a smile.
"No, it's not like that. You didn't make things difficult for me, and I don't hate you either," Yan Shen hurriedly explained.
Yan Shen recalled the rumours in school, and when he thought about Chu Ning's situation, he couldn't help but sympathize with her. He hurriedly explained, afraid that Chu Ning would misunderstand.
"If that's the case, then will you despise me?" Chu Ning blinked her charming big eyes and looked at Yan Shen with anticipation.
Yan Shen was silent for a few seconds before he said, "No."
"Haha, then can we become friends in the future?" Chu Ning struck while the iron was hot and hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry, we're just friends. I just want to make up for all the ridiculous acts I've done in the past. It was my fault and it caused you a lot of trouble. I'm sorry! I hope you can forgive me."
Chu Ning looked at Yan Shen's beautiful side profile and said seriously.
"It's okay. I didn't take it to heart. You... as long as you are well." Yan Shen kept feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't describe the feeling, so he could only follow along with what Chu Ning said.
"Okay, as long as you don't blame me for being rude. I'll try my best to be good too. I hope you're the same."
Although Chu Ning said so, she was playing this trick of retreating to advance with perfection. She kept saying that it was her fault. In addition to her current situation, even if Yan Shen hated her, he couldn't show it, and could only follow her lead.
Chu Ning arrived at the station in a short time, only a few minutes. When she was about to get off the car, Chu Ning didn't forget to greet Yan Shen with a sweet smile.
"Handsome guy, see you next time!"
