The atmosphere on the bus was subtly awkward.
Pang Feng felt that his previous thoughts might have been a bit mistaken; the relationships among these six people seemed even more complex.
Chen Ping, who prided himself on being a national team expert, was clearly in hot pursuit of Chen Zhuoya, yet she was obviously avoiding him—why else would she have deliberately sat next to Pang Feng!
The girl in red, named Zhang Xuejiao, had a crush on Chen Ping, her eyes constantly roving over him. Whenever Chen Ping was absorbed in his boastful tales, her eyes would sparkle with adoration.
Mu Shiwei, on the other hand, was entirely the third-wheel in this scenario. Among friends, he'd likely be the type that others picked on, appearing to be the most vulnerable in this small group!
Pang Feng's eyes were fixed on the window as the mountain road was difficult, making the bus ride quite bumpy. But the scenery along the way was truly beautiful and well worth admiring.
